Objective:
To understand the implementation of daily study time standard among secondary school students in Shandong Province, so as to provide scientific basis for the formulation and implementation of relevant policies.
Methods:
From January to May 2023, a multi stage random sampling method was used to select 8 725 middle school students in Shandong Province. A survey questionnaire was designed based on the Requirements for Daily Study Time of Primary and Secondary School Students(GB/T 17223-2012), to investigate indicators such as students daily learning schedule, sleep and physical activity time, break time and scheduling requirements.
Results:
The compliance rates for daily study time in junior and senior high school students in Shandong Province were 29.2% and 23.6%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=33.63, P <0.01). Compliance rates for sleep duration, physical activity and recess time, morning and afternoon class hours, and class duration were 19.3%, 26.2%, 30.5%, 73.2% and 16.2%. Class duration compliance was relatively high, with rates of 96.7% in junior high and 94.4% in senior high school students. There was a statistically significant difference in compliance rates for extended class breaks between different educational stages ( χ 2= 81.78, P <0.01), with rates of 84.6% in junior high and 83.4% in senior high school students. As students progressed through their educational stages, compliance rates for physical activities, class breaks, consecutive classes, and total weekly class hours showed a decreasing trend, with rates of 31.8% and 18.3%, 35.7% and 23.1%, 60.5% and 29.6%, 55.2% and 35.1% in junior and senior high school students, respectively.
Conclusions
The revised standard of Requirements for Daily Study Time of Primary and Secondary School Students(GB/T 17223-2012) optimizes the daily study and life schedule of middle school students to a certain extent. However, daily study time for middle school students in Shandong Province exceeds standard. Relevant departments need to enhance their ability to implement standards and strengthen the supervision of policy standards implementation.

[Objective] To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients who underwent multiple platelet transfusions (≥2 times) in Suzhou over the past 5 years (2017-2022), as to provide new insights for patients requiring long-term and substantial platelet transfusions. [Methods] A retrospective analysis was conducted on the type of diseases, volume and frequency of platelet transfusions in patients who were hospitalized in Suzhou and received multiple (≥2 times) apheresis platelet transfusions from August 2017 to August 2022. Compatibility transfusions were also performed for a subset of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients who completed HLA antibody testing and genotyping. [Results] From 2017 to 2022, the clinical consumption of platelets in Suzhou has increased annually (P<0.001), and patients who received apheresis platelets were mainly concentrated in hematological diseases represented by hematopoietic or lymphoid tissue tumors, especially AML patients (48.81%, 1 188/2 434). The age group with the highest per capita number of transfusions among AML patients was predominantly 21-30 years old (25 times per person). After genotype-compatible transfusion for eligible AML patients, the CCI significantly increased (P<0.001). [Conclusion] For male AML patients aged 21-30 and 61-70 in Suzhou, conducting platelet antibody screening and genetic testing before platelet transfusion can improve the efficiency of transfusion, reduce the incidence of PTR, and save blood resources through personalized matching transfusions.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and postoperative delirium(POD) in the patients.Methods:A total of 938 participants of either sex, aged 50-90 yr, weighing 50-90 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classificationⅠorⅡ, with preoperative Mini-Mental State Examination score ≥24, without communication barriers, undergoing elective knee or hip joint replacement under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia from June 2020 to June 2022 in Qingdao Municipal Hospital, were enrolled. The vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine within 6 months before operation was recorded. The cerebrospinal fluid 2 ml was extracted after the puncture needle was successfully inserted into the subarachnoid space for determination of the concentrations of Aβ42, total tau protein (t-tau), and phosphorylated tau protein (p-tau) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). The Aβ42/t-tau and Aβ42/p-tau ratios were calculated. POD was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method twice a day within 7 days after surgery or before discharge.The patients were divided into POD group and non-POD group according to whether they developed POD. The risk factors of which P values were less than 0.20 in the univariate logistic regression would enter the multivariate logistic regression analysis to investigate the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and level of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers and POD. Results:Eight hundred and seventy-four patients were finally enrolled in the analysis, of which 169 patients developed POD, with an incidence of 19.3%.The results of logistic regression showed that vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine within 6 months before operation, preoperative concentrations of Aβ42 in CSF, and increase in Aβ42/t-tau and Aβ42/p-tau ratios were protective factors for POD, and preoperative elevated concentrations of t-tau and p-tau in CSF were risk factors for POD ( P<0.05). After gender, age, preoperative Mini-Mental State Examination score, years of education, history of drinking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease were added to eliminate the influence of confounding factors, the results still showed that vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine within 6 months before operation was a protective factor for POD. Conclusions:Vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine within 6 months before operation is a protective factor for POD in patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To clarify the resource status and diversity of endemic medicinal plants in Shaanxi province. METHODS The species specificity, species composition, faunal composition, family and genus types, medicinal value and endangerment degree of endemic medicinal plants in Shaanxi province were studied by literature review.RESULTS There were 713 species of 331 genera and 101 families endemic to Chinese medicinal plants in the study area. Fifteen species were naturally distributed only in Shaanxi province, and the remaining 698 species were also naturally distributed in other provinces of China. Among the 713 species, 233 species(69 families, 159 genera) were not collected from the fourth resource census in Shaanxi province. There were 11 species of pteridophytes in 7 families and 11 genera, 14 species of gymnosperms in 4 families and 10 genera, 627 species of dicotyledons in 82 families and 278 genera, and 59 species of monocots in 8 families and 32 genera. The endemic life forms of medicinal plants in the study area were mostly herbaceous, followed by shrubs and trees, and semi-shrubs and epiphytes accounted for the least. There were 9 families with ≥ 20 species and 4 families with ≥ 10 species in the study area. The 90 families belonging to the endemic species of medicinal plants in Shaanxi province were divided into 13 distribution types and 9 variations, and the tropical distribution(2-7 categories) had a total of 34 families. There were 5 endemic species of medicinal plants in the study area under the national class I key protection, and 14 species under the national class II key protection. There were 26 species of plants under local key protection in Shaanxi province. There were 21 plants that could be used as original plants for medicinal materials included in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China(2020 edition). CONCLUSION The endemic species of medicinal plants in Shaanxi province are rich in resources and have good medicinal value. However, the growing environment of some plants is harsh and human damage is serious. Multiple protection measures should be taken to maintain the species diversity and sustainable development of resources in the study area.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a central neurodegenerative disease with still unclear pathogenesis. Recent studies have shown that axonal transport dysfuction of mitochondria may contribute to AD progression. Normal mitochondrial axonal transport mainly involves microtubules, molecular motors and connexins, while AD early pathological changes can damage mitochondrial axonal transport by interfering with these proteins: accumulated β-amyloid (Aβ) impairs the function of molecular motors; abnormally modified Tau protein reduces microtubule stability; mutant presenilin-1 (PS1) can induce phosphorylation of some related proteins by activating glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β); all these processes can damage mitochondrial axonal transport, leading to synaptic dysfunction. This review aims to clarify the possible mechanisms of axonal transport dysfuction of mitochondria in AD and provides new ideas for AD treatment.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the therapeutic effect of natural phenolic compound p-hydroxybenzoic acid(HA) on adjuvant arthritis(AA) induced by the complete Freund's adjuvant(CFA), and to clarify the mechanism of HA preliminary. METHODS Apart from the normal group, all rats received 0.1 mL CFA by plantar subcutaneous injection to induce AA rats model. And rats with AA were randomized to the model group, the low-, medium-, and high-dose HA group(2.5, 5, and 10 mg·kg-1, respectively), the positive control group(indomethacine, 5 mg·kg-1). The rats in each group were orally treated with the corresponding drugs for therapeutic intervention. The volume and leg thickness of the rats in each group were recorded and an inflated articular score was obtained. Inflammation cytokine expression(TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) was determined by ELISA and qPCR. Radiographs and HE staining were used to observe histopathological and pathological changes in the foot. The expressions of caspase-1 and NF-κB were examined in Western blotting. RESULTS HA could significantly alleviate joint swelling in AA rat(P<0.05), inhibited the production of inflammatory factors(TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) from protein and mRNA levels(P<0.05), and decreased the expression levels of caspase-1 and NF-κB at protein level(P<0.05). HA alleviated ankle injury in rats by X-ray examination, and HE staining showed that HA could significantly inhibit the infiltration of inflammatory cells and the destruction of cartilage surface(P<0.05), and these results were dose-dependent. CONCLUSION HA may relieve rheumatoid arthritis by inhibiting the NF-κB/casepase-1 signaling pathway.

Objective To determine the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of hand,foot,and mouth disease (HFMD) in Pujiang County from 2008 through 2020, so as to provide scientific evidence for prevention and control measures. Methods Descriptive epidemiological analysis was used to analyze HFMD cases retrieved in the Chinese Information System for Disease Control and Prevention in Pujiang County during 2008‒2020. Results From 2008 through 2020, a total of 9 393 cases were documented in Pujiang County, with an annual incidence of 182.3 per 100 000, showing a trend of alternating high-incidence and low-incidence years. The seasonal distribution was bimodal, and the incidence peaked in May-July and November-December. The incidence of HFMD in urban areas was significantly higher than that in rural areas, and the incidence was positively correlated with population density. Majority of cases (94.9%) were children under 5 years old, of which boys had higher incidence than girls. The number of documented cases was the highest among preschool children living in families and kindergartens, accounting for 97.3%. Totally, 558 cases were laboratory confirmed in Pujiang County in 2008-2020, of which severe cases were all caused by EV71 infection. Conclusion Enterovirus serotypes in HFMD have continually changed from 2008 through 2020 in Pujiang County. However, severe HFMD remains principally attributable to EV71 infection, suggesting that it is necessary to strengthen the surveillance on the etiology of HFMD. In addition, it warrants further promotion of EV71 vaccination.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of venous superdrainage in repairing skin defects of wrist and hand with the flap based on ascending branch of the supracarpal cutaneous branch of ulnar artery.Methods:From July 2014 to March 2021, the clinical data of patients with hand and wrist skin defects repaired with the flap based on ascending branch of the supracarpal cutaneous branch of ulnar artery in the Emergency Department of Tangshan Second Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. According to the intraoperative venous anastomosis or not the patients were divided into venous superdrainage group(from July 2017 to March 2021) and traditional group(from July 2014 to June 2017). On the basis of the traditional method, the subcutaneous vein carried by the flap and the subcutaneous vein around the wound were anastomosed end to end in the venous superdrainage group. The donor sites in both groups were directly sutured or repaired with free partial or full thickness skin grafts. The survival of flaps in the two groups was observed after operation. Fisher’s exact test was used to compare the incidence of tension blister and pigmentation between the two groups. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 51 patients were enrolled. There were 27 patients in the venous superdrainage group, which including 18 males and 9 females, aged 18 to 57 years. The wound area after debridement ranged from 6 cm × 2 cm to 13 cm × 4 cm. There were 24 patients in traditional group, which including 15 males and 9 females, aged 20 to 61 years. The wound size after debridement ranged from 7 cm × 2 cm to 14 cm × 3 cm. In the venous superdrainage group, the flap size ranged from 7 cm × 3 cm to 15 cm × 6 cm. All the flaps survived without infection and tension blisters. During the follow-up period of 8 to 22 months, one flap showed pigmentation. In the traditional group, the area of flaps ranged from 8 cm × 3 cm to 16 cm × 4 cm. Tension blisters occurred in 5 cases of flaps due to venous reflux disorder, and the flaps survived without infection after removing some sutures at the pedicle and dressing change. During the follow-up period of 8 to 23 months, seven flaps showed pigmentation. The incidences of tension blisters and pigmentation in the venous superdrainage group were 0 (0/27) and 3.7% (1/27), respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the traditional group [20.8% (5/24) and 29.2% (7/24)] (both P<0.05). Conclusions:The use of venous superdrainage in the repair of hand and wrist skin defects with the ascending branch of the supracarpal cutaneous branch of ulnar artery flap can reduce the risk of venous reflux disorders, decrease the incidences of tension blisters and pigmentation of the flap significantly.
