Objective: To explore the association between daytime light exposure intensity and duration and objectively assessed sleep parameters among primary school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for understanding the impact of light exposure on children s sleep quality. Methods: From October 2023 to May 2024, a total of 741 primary school students in grades 2 to 3 were recruited from two primary schools in Chuzhou City, Anhui Province. Participants were required to wear an illuminance meter and an actigraph concurrently for 5 consecutive days to simultaneously collect 24 hour light exposure, sleep parameters, and physical activity data. Objective sleep parameters included total sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, and sleep fragmentation index. Generalized linear model was applied to analyze the associations of average daytime (overall, morning, afternoon) light exposure intensity and exposure duration at different illuminance thresholds with various sleep parameters among primary school students. Results: The mean values of total sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep latency, wake time after sleep onset and sleep fragmentation index were (465.70±40.27)min, (83.22±5.16)%, (17.40±8.31)min, (75.97±26.81)min and (26.23±6.20), respectively. Generalized linear model showed that the average daytime light exposure intensity and duration of exposure ≥1 000 lx were positively correlated only with total sleep duration ( β =0.94, 8.51, both P <0.05). Morning light exposure intensity was associated with higher sleep efficiency ( β =0.11), longer total sleep duration ( β =0.80), shorter sleep latency ( β = -0.20 ), shorter wake time after sleep onset ( β =-0.57) and lower sleep fragmentation index ( β =-0.11) (all P <0.05). The duration of morning light exposure at ≥1 000 lx also improved childrens sleep efficiency, total sleep duration, sleep onset latency, wake time after sleep onset and sleep fragmentation index ( β =1.74, 13.91, -4.43, -11.04, -2.01, all P <0.05). Conclusions There is a significant association between morning light exposure intensity, exposure duration ≥1 000 lx, and multiple objective sleep parameters among primary school students. Increasing morning outdoor activities or high illuminance indoor light exposure could serve as feasible intervention strategies to improve the sleep of primary school students.

Objective:To investigate the effects of psychosocial factors on early puberty and its sex specific differences.Methods:Bengbu Yuhui Longitudinal Study of Children Development Cohort, consisting of 1 162 students in grades 1-3 (524 girls) and their parents, was established in April 2021 in Bengbu, Anhui Province. The parents were surveyed by questionnaire to collect the information about their children's 56 items of psychosocial factor exposures, including 5 dimensions: major life events, early life adversity, interpersonal/relational conflict, family economic status and daily life troubles. Pubertal growth and physical examinations were conducted by trained professionals at baseline, the 1 st (May 2022), 2 nd (October 2022), 3 rd (May 2023), and 4 th (October 2023) follow-up surveys. In this study, the pubertal development status data were from the 4 th follow-up examination. Fianally, the valid data on pubertal development of 1 105 children were obtained, including the data from 510 girls (46.15%). Multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between psychosocial factors and early puberty, and the final predictors of early puberty were explored by using four models [least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), multiple logistic regression, ridge regression, and Bayesian]. Results:The detection rates of early puberty in boys and girls were 13.60% and 16.30%, respectively. The median of intra-group absolute correlation of psychosocial factor exposure (0.042-0.066) was generally higher than that of inter-group among girls (0.031-0.059), while no similar diference was found among boys. LASSO model showed that moving house, being raised by someone other than parents, sexual abuse, peer conflict, high monthly household income, and high exposure to electronics on school days were predictors of early puberty in girls, while moving house and high monthly household income were the predictors of early puberty in girls in all four models (LASSO, multiple logistic regression, ridge regression, and Bayesian). Among boys, only a transient loss from family was a predictor of early puberty.Conclusion:Early puberty in children can be predicted by psychosocial factors, and there are gender-specific differences.

Objective:To analyze the there-dimensional radiographic characteristics of odontogenic myxoma(OM).Methods:Clinical records,histopathological reports,SCT or CBCT images of 18 patients with OM were retrospectively collected,and radiograph-ic features including lesion site,shape,size,expansion,intralesional septa and relationship with surrounding tissues were analyzed.The lesions were classified into types by the forms of septa.Results:18 patients(8 males and 10 females,aged 9-39 years old)were included.Among them,12 lesions(66.7％)were round-like in shape,7(38.9％)were located in the posterior maxilla,and 8(44.4％)in the posterior mandible.According to the septa map,the lesions included 4(22.2％)without septum(unilocular type),4 with(22.2％)sporadic septum on the periphery of the tumor(peripheral type),4(22.2％)with the septum from the periphery towards the center of the tumor(centripetal type)and 6(16.7％)with multiple septa interwoven as grid-like trabeclations(criss-crossing tup).Labial/buccal cortex expansion was present in 11 lesions(61.1％),and palatal cortex expansion in 12 lesions(66.7％).Moreover,cortex discontinuity occurred in 14 lesions(77.8％),impacted tooth was present in 9 lesions(16.7％),and root resorption was present in 8 lesions(44.4％).Conclusion:Most OMs occur in the posterior jaw,with multilocular and discontinued cortex.OMs can be classified into unilocular,perpheral,centripetal and cirss-crossing type by the forms of septa in the lesion.

Objective:To analyze the three-dimensional radiographic characteristics of calcifying odon-togenic cyst and calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor using spiral computed tomography(CT)and cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT).Methods:Clinical records,histopathological reports,and CBCT or non-enhanced spiral CT images of 19 consecutive patients with calcifying odontogenic cyst(COC)and 16 consecutive patients with calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor(CEOT)were retrospec-tively acquired,and radiographic features,including location,size,expansion,internal structure and calcification,were analyzed.Results:Among the 19 COC cases(12 males and 7 females,with an average age of 27 years),89.5％(17/19)of the lesions originated from the anterior and premolar areas,100.0％of them exhibited cortex expansion,and 78.9％had discontinued cortex.Among the 16 CEOT cases(3 males and 13 females,with an average age of 36 years),81.3％(13/16)of the lesions were in the premolar and molar areas,56.3％of them exhibited cortex expansion,and 96.8％had discontinued cortex.According to the distribution of internal calcifications,these lesions were divided in-to:Ⅰ(non-calcification type):absence of calcification;Ⅱ(eccentric marginal type):multiple calcifi-cations scattered along one side of the lesion;Ⅲ(diffused type):numerous calcifications diffusely dis-tributed into the lesion;Ⅳ(plaque type):with a ≥ 5 mm calcified patch;V(peri-coronal type):multiple calcifications clustered around impacted teeth.Calcifications were present in 73.7％of COC le-sions,including 9 type Ⅱ,3 type Ⅲ and 2 type Ⅳ lesions,and 42.8％of CEOT lesions had calcifica-tion images,including 2 type Ⅲ and 5 type V lesions.Six COC lesions had odontoma-like images.Moreover,8 of 9 type Ⅰ CEOTs were histologically Langerhans cell-rich subtype,which had a smaller size(with an average mesiodistal diameter of 17.8 mm)and were not associated with impacted teeth.Conclusion:COC lesions tended to originate from the anterior part of the jaw and exhibit cortex expan-sion,and were sometimes associated with odontoma.CEOT commonly occurred in the posterior jaw and had discontinued cortex.Two lesions had significantly different calcification map.Over 70％of COC le-sions had calcification images,which were mostly scattered along one side of the cysts,far from the im-pacted teeth.Approximately 60％of CEOT lesions exhibited smaller size and non-calcification,and the remaining CEOT cases often had calcification images clustered around the impacted teeth.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of donor dexmedetomidine preconditioning on the renal function of patients undergoing living-related kidney transplantation.Methods:Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅲ-Ⅳ patients, regardless of gender, aged 20-64 yr, with body mass of 18.5-28.0 kg/m 2, undergoing living-related kidney transplantation, were selected.Sixty corresponding donors, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, regardless of gender, aged 20-64 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-28.0 kg/m 2, were selected.The patients and donors were divided into 2 groups using a random number table method: control group (group C) and dexmedetomidine group (group D), with 30 pairs in each group.Before induction of anesthesia, dexmedetomidine was intravenously infused over 10 min in a loading dose of 1 μg/kg followed by an intravenous infusion of 0.5 μg·kg -1·h -1 until the time point when the renal artery was blocked immediately in the donors of group D, while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead until the time point when the renal artery was blocked immediately in the donors of group C. In both groups, total intravenous anesthesia was applied in donors and recipients, Nacotrend values were maintained at 40-60 during operation, mean arterial pressure and heart rate were maintained within the normal range, and dopamine was intravenously infused when necessary.The warm ischemia time and cold ischemia time of donor kidneys were recorded in the two groups.Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from the donors immediately before renal artery occlusion and from the recipients before renal artery opening (T 0) and at 1, 12 and 24 h after renal artery opening (T 1-3) to determine the serum creatinine (Cr), urea nitrogen (BUN) and cysteine protease inhibitor C (CysC) concentrations.The intraoperative volume of fluid infused, urine volume and consumption of propofol, remifentanil and dopamine were recorded in the receptors of two groups. Results:There was no significant difference in the concentrations of Cr, BUN and CysC and warm ischemia time and cold ischemia time of kidneys in between the two groups of donors ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the consumption of propofol, remifentanil and dopamine, volume of fluid infused and urine volume during surgery between the two groups of recipients ( P>0.05). Compared with group C, the concentrations of Cr, BUN and CysC were significantly decreased in at T 1 in group D ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Donor dexmedetomidine preconditioning is helpful in improving the perioperative renal function of patients undergoing living-related kidney transplantation.

Objective:To retrospectively summarize the clinicopathological features of epithelioid glioblastoma (Ep-GBM) and to explore new treatment for Ep-GBM.Methods:The clinical data of 13 patients with Ep-GBM,who were treated in our department from March 2016 to July 2017,were retrospectively analyzed.The clinicopathological features were summarized and the efficacy was evaluated.Results:The positive rate of BRAFV600E mutant and INI-1 was 76.9％ (10/13) and 80％ (8/10),respectively,while the median Ki-67 index was 30％.Meningeal metastases occurred in 9 cases (69.7％) during the course.The median follow-up time was 12 (6-25) months,and the median progression-free time was 8.6 (2.2-16.5) months.Three patients died and the 1-year overall survival rate was 54％.Conclusion:Ep-GBM has a high degree of malignancy and is prone to spread to leptomeninges.INI-1 expression and BRAFV600E mutation are common for Ep-GBM.BRAF inhibitor might be a potential therapeutic drug for it.

Objective To assess the impact of additional cycles of temozolomide on the survival of glio-blastoma(GBM)patients after 6 months of maintenance temozolomide(TMZ)following concurrent TMZ chemo-therapy and radiation therapy. Methods Data of 51 GBM patients from 2009 to 2015 were retrospectively studied and the therapeutic effect was assessed according to whether receiving long-term treatment with TMZ. Results Sev-enteen of fifty-one GBM patients received 8 or more cycles and prolonged treatment improved progression-free sur-vival(P=0.011)and overall survival(P=0.004). Conclusions Extended use of TMZ is safe to GBM patients , which may improve response OS and PFS compared to conventional regimen. Prospective studies in larger popula-tions are needed to better-define the population to whom it can be proposed and its optimal duration.
