Objective:
To investigate the relationship between physical development indicators and the onset and progression of myopia among children and adolescents, so as to provide theoretical support for coordinated vision and physical health management.
Methods:
A prospective cohort study was conducted. In September 2022, 3 102 students from grade one in primary school to grade three in junior high school (five year primary school and four year junior high school) from six schools in Huantai County, Shandong Province, were selected using multistage cluster random sampling method to participate in an epidemiological survey on myopia, with follow up completed in September 2023. Follow up value minus baseline value( d ) was used to assess changes in physical development and vision indicators. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between physical development indicators and the incidence of myopia. Generalized linear models were established to analyze the relationship between physical development indicators and changes in d spherical equivalent (SE) and d axial length (AL) .
Results:
Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for factors such as gender, age, and baseline body mass index, the third ( Q 3)and fourth ( Q 4)quartiles of d height showed increased risks of myopia onset within one year compared to the first quartile( Q 1) ( OR =1.85,95% CI =1.18-2.88; OR =1.74,95% CI =1.09-2.78,both P <0.05). Results from the generalized linear model indicated that, after adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, age, and baseline SE, d SE was negatively correlated with d height and d weight in children and adolescents ( β =-0.024, 95% CI =-0.031 to -0.018; β =-0.006, 95% CI =-0.011 to -0.001), d AL was positively correlated with d height and d weight in children and adolescents ( β =0.011, 95% CI =0.008-0.013; β =0.005, 95% CI =0.003-0.007) (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Physical development indicators in children and adolescents were associated with the onset and progression of myopia. Dynamic monitoring and early intervention of myopia should be strengthened for children and adolescents with rapid height and weight gain to achieve coordinated management of myopia and physical development.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between near work, screen time, outdoor time and myopia in children based on objective monitoring technology and to explore the influencing factors related to myopia in children.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.From October 2022 to March 2023, the purposive sampling method was used to select 596 children in Grade 2 and Grade 3 from two primary schools in Shandong Province as study subjects.Eye-Monitor technology of eye-use behavior based on artificial intelligence was used to quantify parameters of near work, screen time and outdoor time.The eye-use behavior parameters were compared within each subject and between non-myopic and myopic children on weekdays and weekends.A multivariate binary logistic regression model was constructed to analyze the influencing factors related to myopia.The study protocol was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Eye Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (No.HEC-HY-2022023KY).Written informed consent was obtained from the legal guardian of each subject.Results:For each subject, the proportion of near work time on weekdays was greater than on weekends, the proportion of time spent looking at cell phones, computer screens, and outdoor activities was smaller, the duration of single continuous near eye use was longer, the tilt angle of the head in sitting position was greater, and the light intensity was stronger, showing statistically significant differences ( t=19.427, -9.964, -5.916, -10.470, 2.211, 2.898, 15.061; all P<0.05).During weekdays, compared with the non-myopia group, the myopia group had longer total near work duration, longer single continuous near eye use duration, shorter outdoor activity duration, closer eye use distance, larger proportion of near work time, and smaller proportion of outdoor activity time, showing statistically significant differences (all P<0.05).During weekends, compared with the non-myopia group, the myopia group had longer time spent looking at cell phones and computer screens, shorter outdoor activity time, greater proportion of time spent looking at cell phones and computer screens, and smaller proportion of outdoor activity time, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05).During weekdays, after adjusting for confounding factors, longer single continuous near eye use duration ( OR=1.138, 95% CI: 1.086-1.192, P<0.001) was the risk factor for myopia, and longer working distance ( OR=0.906, 95% CI: 0.847-0.970, P=0.004) and longer outdoor activity time ( OR=0.127, 95% CI: 0.023-0.703, P=0.018) were protective factors for myopia.During weekends, after adjusting for confounding factors, longer time spent on looking at cell phone screens ( OR=2.437, 95% CI: 1.460-4.068, P<0.001) and longer time spent on looking at computer screens ( OR=2.260, 95% CI: 1.283-3.979, P=0.005) were risk factors for myopia, and longer outdoor activity time ( OR=0.624, 95% CI: 0.416-0.934, P=0.022) was the protective factor for myopia. Conclusions:The eyes with continuous near work, prolonged use of smartphone and computer screens, closer eye use distance, and less time spent outdoors have been confirmed to be significantly correlated with myopia based on objective monitoring data.When formulating intervention measures for myopia prevention and control in children, it is advocated to further pay attention to control the distance and duration of near work on weekdays and strengthen screen time management on weekends.

4.Distribution of pupil diameter and its association with myopia in school age children
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(8):1194-1197
Objective:
To investigate the distribution of pupil diameter and its association with myopia in school age children, providing ideas into the mechanisms of the role of pupil diameter in the onset and development of myopia.
Methods:
Adopting a combination of stratified cluster random sampling and convenience sampling method, 3 839 children from six schools in Shandong Province were included in September 2021. Pupil diameters distribution was analyzed by age, sex, and myopic status. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between pupil diameter and cycloplegic spherical equivalent (SE), as well as axial length (AL) and other variables. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to match myopic and non myopic children at a 1∶1 ratio based on age and sex. A generalized linear model (GLM) was constructed with pupil diameter as the dependent variable to identify independent factors influencing pupil size and its association with myopia.
Results:
The mean pupil diameter of school age children was (5.77±0.80)mm. Pupil diameter exhibited a significant increasing trend with age ( F =49.34, P trend < 0.01). Myopic children had a significantly larger mean pupil diameter [(6.10±0.73)mm] compared to non myopic children [(5.62±0.79)mm] with a statistically significant difference( t=18.10, P <0.01). Multivariable GLM analysis, adjusted for age, amplitude of accommodation, and uncorrected visual acuity, revealed a negative correlation between pupil diameter and cycloplegic SE (before PSM: β =-0.089, after PSM: β =-0.063, both P <0.01).
Conclusions
Myopic school age children exhibite larger pupil diameters than their non myopic counterparts. Pupil diameter may serve as a potential indicator for monitoring myopia development in school age children.

AIM: To explore the effects of preoperative anterior segment parameters on the rotational stability of Toric intraocular lens(Toric IOL).METHODS:Prospective study. A total of 41 cataract patients(54 eyes)with combined corneal regular astigmatism from March to December 2023 were included and treated with cataract phacoemulsification combined with plate loop Toric IOL implantation in the Department of Ophthalmology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. The rotation degree of Toric IOL and uncorrected distance visual acuity(UCDVA)were evaluated at 1 d, 2 wk, and 1 mo postoperatively, the corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA)was evaluated at 2 wk and 1 mo after surgery, and the decentration and tilt of the Toric IOL were assessed at 2 wk postoperatively.RESULTS:A total of 33 patients(40 eyes)were included in this study. The UCDVA(LogMAR)of 1 d, 2 wk and 1 mo postoperatively were 0.10(0.10, 0.30), 0.05(0, 0.10)and 0(0, 0.10), respectively, which was improved compared with the preoperative levels of [0.80(0.49, 1.00)](P<0.001). The CDVA(LogMAR)of 2 wk and 1 mo postoperatively were 0.05(0, 0.15)and 0(0, 0.138), respectively, which was improved compared with preoperative levels of [0.52(0.40, 0.80)](P<0.001). The residual astigmatism of 2 wk and 1 mo postoperatively were 0.625(0.25, 0.75)D and 0.50(0.25, 0.75)D, respectively, which was significantly reduced compared with preoperative astigmatism of [1.82(1.31, 2.59)D](P<0.001). The preoperative anterior segment length(ASL), and lens thickness(LT)were positively correlated with Toric IOL rotation degree at 1 d(rs=0.463, P=0.003; rs=0.340, P=0.032)and 2 wk(rs=0.520, P=0.001; rs=0.409, P=0.009)postoperatively. At 1 mo postoperatively, only ASL was positively correlated with Toric IOL rotation degree(rs=0.463, P=0.003). The results of linear regression analysis showed that preoperative ASL was a predictor of rotation degree at 1 d, 2 wk and 1 mo after surgery(F1 d=10.098, P1 d=0.003; F2 wk=16.915, P2 wk<0.001; F1 mo=10.957, P1 mo=0.002). The rotation degree of Toric IOL was positively correlated with lens decentration(rs=0.360, P=0.043).CONCLUSION:The early postoperative rotation of Toric IOL is positively correlated with ASL, and the rotation is also positively correlated with lens decentration.

Objective:To summarize and analyze the clinical features, treatment effects and related factors affecting the prognosis of hepatoblastoma (HB) in children under six years old.Methods:Clinical data of 382 children with HB under six years old who were pathologically diagnosed at the Pediatric Single Center of Beijing Tongren Hospital from May 2005 to May 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The factors affecting the treatment effect and survival rate of HB were analyzed. The independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of HB were studied by Cox regression model. The χ2 test was used to compare the enumeration data between groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Log-rank test was used to compare the survival rates among subgroups. Results:Children enrolled were with median age of 1.75 (0.08 ~ 5.92) years old and a male to female ratio of 1.5. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) median level was 197 406.5 μg/L at initial diagnosis, and the pathological tissue type was mainly epithelial (55.8%). Preoperative PRETEXT stage was mostly stage III (58.6%). 86 cases (22.5%) had portal vein or hepatic vein, and vena cava invasion. 73 cases (19.1%) had extrahepatic adjacent tissues and organs invasion. Twenty-four cases (6.3%) had tumor rupture and bleeding. 171 cases (44.8%) had distant metastases, and 96 cases (25.1%) had multiple intrahepatic lesions. Patients were followed-up to May 2020 (median follow-up time was 56 months). After comprehensive treatment, 218 cases were completely relieved, and 69 cases were partially relieved, and the treatment efficiency was 75.1%. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the 1, 3, and 5-years overall survival rates (OS) were 93.7%, 84.0%, and 73.9%, respectively, and the event-free survival rates were 90.5%, 79.2%, and 67.5%, respectively. Comparison of the clinical factors of 5-year OS showed that AFP < 100 μg/L ( HR = 3.341, P = 0.005), PRETEXT stage IV ( HR = 4.026, P = 0.001), vascular invasion ( HR = 2.178, P = 0.019) and distant metastasis ( HR = 2.634, P = 0.010) were independent risk factors in each subgroup affecting the prognosis of children with HB, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion:HB prognosis is related to AFP level, PRETEXT stage, presence or absence of vascular invasion and distant metastasis. Therefore, its survival and prognosis will be different in the presence of different risk factors.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and assess the prognostic value of diabetes mellitus (DM) and hyperglycemia during DLBCL treatment in DLBCL.Methods:The clinical data of 481 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2019 at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital and Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were retrospectively collected, focusing on their blood glucose levels before and during treatment. Cox regression method was used for univariate analysis to assess prognostic factors, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves to assess the prognostic value of DM and hyperglycemia during DLBCL treatment in patients with DLBCL.Results:Eighty-two (17.0%) patients had DM before DLBCL diagnosis and treatment, and 88 (18.3%) patients had at least one blood glucose increase during DLBCL treatment. Cox univariate analysis showed that age, Ann Arbor stage, international prognostic index, and DM were associated with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) (all P<0.05) . The pairwise comparison between the two groups showed that the OS ( P=0.001) and PFS ( P<0.001) of patients with pre-existing DM were significantly worse than those of patients without abnormal blood glucose. Moreover, the OS ( P=0.003) and PFS ( P<0.001) of patients with hyperglycemia during DLBCL treatment were significantly worse than those of patients without abnormal blood glucose. No significant difference exists between patients with DM and patients with hyperglycemia during DLBCL treatment (OS, P=0.557; PFS, P=0.463) . Additionally, patients with adequate glycemic control during chemotherapy had a better prognosis compared with patients with poor glycemic control (OS, P=0.037; PFS, P=0.007) . Conclusion:DM is an important factor affecting the prognosis of patients with DLBCL. Moreover, hyperglycemia during treatment is related to the poor prognosis of patients with DLBCL.

There were 335 affected eyes, of which 304 counts were in the intraocular stage (90.7%), most commonly in stage D (146 counts, 43.6%); 26 counts (7.7%) in the extraocular stage, mainly invading the optic nerve and/or optic nerve stump; 5 counts (1.5%) in the metastasis stage.(2) Survival analysis: the medical follow-up continued to March 31, 2020, with a median follow-up time of 67 months.There were 2 cases with a loss of follow-up, 21 relapsed cases, and 19 death cases, with the overall survival rate being 91.2%.According to Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the expected 5-year survival rate was 91.1%; the survival rate was 96.2% in the intraocular stage and 73.1% in the extraocular stage.All 5 cases died during the distant metastasis stage, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=7.492, P<0.001); there was also a statistical difference in the survival rate between the monocular disease (95.9%) and binocular disease (87.3%) ( χ2=4.335, P=0.023). (3) Eyeball removal and eye protection: the eye protection rate of 217 children was 68.9%, 100.0% in stage A, B and C, 80.1% in stage D and 35.1% in stage E, which showed significant differences ( χ2=6.573, P=0.004). There were 35 children who underwent eye extraction before chemotherapy and 67 cases after chemotherapy, among which the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.076, P=0.012) in eye removal rates before and after chemotherapy in stage D and E(6 and 11 cases before chemotherapy, 22 and 36 cases after chemotherapy). (4) Adverse reactions: according to the World Health Organization′s classification of adverse reactions to chemotherapy, there were 26 cases in grade 0 (12.0%), 98 cases in grade Ⅰ (45.1%), 59 cases in grade Ⅱ (27.2%), 23 cases in grade Ⅲ (10.6%), and 11 cases in grade Ⅳ (5.1%), mainly manifested as bone marrow suppression after chemotherapy (132 cases). No second tumors appeared, and only 4 cases had transient hearing abnormalities, which returned to the normal state in the subsequent review. Conclusions:Infantile RB has its own characteristics.Such factors as different eye types and different clinical stages can affect the prognosis of children.The survival rate of such children can be improved significantly and the rate of eyeball removal can be reduced after treatment.

Objective To explore the influence of spiritual care training program on nurses' spiritual well-being and spiritual care competency. Methods From March to September 2018,a total of 80 nurses working in a provincial cancer hospital were recruited by voluntary registration to participate in this study. They were randomly divided into experimental group(n=40)and control group(n=40)by random number table. The experimental group received the specially designed spiritual care training twice a month for 6 consecutive months on the basis of regular vocational studies. The main forms included expert lectures,group interventions, providing spiritual care for cancer patients,and clinical case reporting. The control group participated in the vocational study organized by the hospital for 6 consecutive months. Before and after the training,the Nurses' Spiritual Health Scale and the Spiritual Care Cognitive Scale were used to investigate and test the nurses in two groups,and the implementation effect was compared. Results After 6 months of training, the total scores of Nurses' Spiritual Health Scale and the Spiritual Care Cognitive Scale in the experimental group were (106.30±8.72)and(185.75±16.53), which were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant(t=5.38,4.52;P< 0.01);the scores in each dimension were also higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant(t=2.22-5.22,P< 0.05). And in the experimental group the total scores and scores in each dimension of Nurses' Spiritual Health Scale and the Spiritual Care Cognitive Scale after the intervention were higher than before the intervention, and the differences were statistically significant(t=3.18-8.99,P<0.01). Conclusions The spiritual care training program based on the concept of self-growth with patients can improve nurses' spiritual well-being and nurses' perceptions of spiritual care.
