Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(2):168-172
Objective:
To evaluate the current situation of thermal environment in primary and secondary school classrooms during winter, and to analyze students thermal comfort needs, so as to provide a basis for improving classroom thermal environment.
Methods:
From December 16 to 26, 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 90 classrooms from 15 primary and secondary schools in centralized/air conditioned heating areas(Liaoning Province, Tianjin City, Shanghai City) and naturally ventilated areas(Anhui Province and Jiangxi Province)for on site environmental measurement. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 743 students. The differences between groups using the χ 2 test were compared. Based on actual measurement data, a predicted mean vote prepared percentage of dissatisfied (PMV-PPD) model for centralized/air conditioned classrooms and an adaptive model for naturally ventilated classrooms were established, and the thermal neutral temperature and comfort interval were calculated.
Results:
The average outdoor temperature during on site measurement was 4.00(0.20,7.00)℃. In classrooms with centralized or air conditioned heating systems, the measured average temperature was (19.33±2.59)℃, with a thermal comfort range of 20.35-25.35 ℃ and a thermal neutral temperature of 22.85 ℃. And 13.92% of students reported feeling cold, while 80.80% felt comfortable. In classrooms with natural ventilation, the measured average temperature was (12.26±1.83)℃, with a thermal neutral temperature of 19.67 ℃ and a thermal comfort range of 16.17-23.17 ℃. About 48.33% of students reported feeling cold, and 49.81 % felt comfortable.The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in shoe thickness, temperature sensation, relative humidity sensation and wind speed sensation between centralized/air conditioned heating areas ( χ 2= 7.01 , 31.47, 13.57, 13.80,all P <0.05). There were also statistically significant differences in school stage for primary and secondary school students, body mass index, classroom location for seat, temperature sensation, relative humidity sensation and wind speed sensation between naturally ventilated areas ( χ 2=42.13, 11.13, 11.04, 60.39, 29.27, 38.46,all P <0.05).
Conclusions
There are differences in thermal environment and students subjective thermal comfort in primary and secondary schools under different ventilation modes in winter. The temperature standards for heated classrooms should be revised, and differentiated environmental regulation strategies should be adopted based on different ventilation methods to improve students health and comfort levels.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of elastic band three-dimensional correction therapy based on surface electromyography (sEMG) on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). MethodsFrom March, 2020 to November, 2024, 42 children with AIS in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 21) and experimental group (n = 21). The control group received Schroth-specific exercise therapy, while the experimental group was analyzed by collecting sEMG signals to determine the three-dimensional elastic band correction training plan, for three months. Before and after treatment, the Cobb angle and the International Scoliosis Research Society Patient Questionnaire 22 (SRS-22) were used for assessment. ResultsOne case dropped out in the control group. Through the analysis of the sEMG results, the final training plan of the experimental group was determined as follows: lateral resistance on the concave side of the main curve, resistance to forward lunges on the concave side and forward flexion and internal rotation of the convex side shoulder, and convex-side knee flexion supporting gluteal bridge. After treatment, the Cobb angle decreased in the experimental group (t = 3.306, P = 0.002), and was less in the experimental group than in the control group (t = -3.102, P = 0.004). The score of mental health of SRS-22 increased in the experimental group (t = -2.161, P = 0.037), and was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (t = 2.873, P = 0.007). The satisfaction was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (t = -4.194, P < 0.001). ConclusionsEMG can provide precise references for the formulation of exercise plans for three-dimensional correction of AIS with elastic bands, which can achieve good correction effects and treatment satisfaction.

Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) and its resulting infertility is one of the common diseases of gynecology and reproductive endocrinology. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway is relatively well-studied in the development of intervention in PCOS, and the experiments on PCOS in rats conducted by traditional Chinese medicine through this signaling pathway is also the main direction of mechanistic research. In this paper, 20 articles published in academic journals in the past 5 years were selected through the corresponding criteria, and the objective situation and existing problems of the selected research projects were analyzed from five aspects, namely, baseline data, modeling and treatment, grouping, evaluative indexes, and pharmacodynamic indexes. It is found that there were different degrees of problems in each research project, such as the observation indicators of modeling, criteria for judging the success of the model, the treatment period, the calculation of dosage of prescription/active ingredients and specific dosage were not clearly defined, which could easily lead the bias of the results or reduce the validity of experimental data. Based on this, the list of PCOS rat experimental research operations was formed, involving five categories of experimental rats, model construction, study implementation, outcome measures and analysis and report with a total of 21 operation lists, with a view to provide a reference for the subsequent PCOS experiments related to scientific research and helping to form high-quality results.

Objective To investigate the short- and long-term prognoses and the risk factors affecting “textbook outcome” (TO) after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Methods The clinical and follow-up data of patients diagnosed with PDAC and treated with LPD from January 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The prognosis was compared between TO and non-TO groups, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent prognostic factors for TO. Results A total of 284 patients were enrolled in this study, including 185 cases in the TO group and 99 cases in the non-TO group. The 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of the TO and non-TO groups with PDAC were 87.3% vs. 85.9%, 52.5% vs. 38.4%, and 18.0% vs. 4.5%, respectively (P=0.020); the recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were 74.1% vs. 65.7%, 27.1% vs. 21.0%, and 10.0% vs. 0%, respectively (P=0.042). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that operation time >360 min (OR=0.561, 95%CI: 0.321-0.979, P=0.042), intraoperative blood loss >400 ml (OR=0.392, 95%CI: 0.175-0.879, P=0.023), hard or tough texture of pancreas (OR=2.240, 95%CI: 1.247-4.022, P=0.007), and main pancreatic duct diameter >3 mm (OR=1.931, 95%CI: 1.126-3.312, P=0.017) were independent prognostic factors for TO. Conclusion After the learning curve, more than 60% of patients with PDAC can achieve TO after LPD. The chances of achieving TO are significantly reduced when the operation time >360 min, the intraoperative blood loss >400 ml, the texture of pancreas was soft, and the diameter of the main pancreatic duct >3 mm.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Shengmai Decoction on postoperative recovery and the anxiety and depression in breast cancer patients after surgery.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. A total of 60 patients with breast cancer after operation in Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from October 2023 to July 2024 were selected, and all patients were divided into the Shengmai Decoction group and the control group according to the random number table method with 30 cases in each group. The Shengmai Decoction group was given the Shengmai Decoction 3 times per day (10 ml each time before meals) with continuous treatment for 7 d, and the patients in the control group drank 10 ml of water at the same time point. The scores of 40-item quality of recovery (QoR-40), traditional Chinese medicine syndrome, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS) before treatment and 7 d after treatment were compared and adverse reactions of the 2 groups were recorded.Results:All patients were female. In the Shengmai Decoction group, 17 patients (56.7%) underwent modified radical mastectomy and 13 patients (43.3%) underwent breast-conserving surgery with the age of (48±12) years; in the control group, 16 patients (53.3%) underwent modified radical mastectomy and 14 patients (46.7%) underwent breast-conserving surgery with the age of (51±12) years. There were no statistically significant differences in age, body mass index, surgery type, menopause, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and between the 2 groups (all P > 0.05). The difference in QoR-40 score before treatment between the 2 groups was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). The emotional state score [(41.0±1.8) points vs. (38.0±2.7) points], psychological support score [(32.6±1.4) points vs. (30.3±1.5) points], and total score [(178.7±3.4) points vs. (170.1±3.9) points] of QoR-40 score in the Shengmai Decoction group were higher than those in the control group 7 d after treatment, and the differences were statistically significant ( t value was 5.21, 6.01, 9.04, all P < 0.05). The differences in the scores of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome, PSQI, SAS and SDS of both groups before treatment were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). The scores of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome, PSQI, SAS and SDS of both groups 7 d after treatment were decreased compared with those before treatment, and the scores in the Shengmai Decoction group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions was 15.0% (2/30) and 10.0% (3/30) in the Shengmai Decoction group and the control group, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:Shengmai Decoction can enhance the postoperative sleep quality, improve anxiety and depression as well as the quality of postoperative recovery in patients with breast cancer.

Objective:To investigate the value of MULTI-parametric MR imaging with flexible design (MTP) combined with microview diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in predicting pituitary tumor invasion of cavernous sinus.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. The clinicopathological and imaging data of 59 patients with suspected pituitary tumor who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from December 2021 to August 2024 were prospectively analyzed. According to Knosp classification, patients with pituitary tumor were divided into non-invasive group (28 cases) and invasive group (31 cases). All patients underwent MTP and microview DWI sequence scanning, and the corresponding parameter values [T 1, R 2*, T 2* and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)] were measured on the MTP quantitative map and ADC map at the maximum diameter level of the pituitary tumor. Independent sample t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the clinical data, quantitative parameter values and proliferation index (Ki-67) between the non-invasive group and the invasive group. Quantitative parameter values with statistically significant differences were jointly included in logistic regression to construct the model. Receiver characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to analyze single variables and logistic model in predicting the value invasion of pituitary tumor cavernous sinus invasion. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the quantitative values and Ki-67 level. Results:There was no significant difference in age and gender between the non-invasive group and the invasive group ( P>0.05). T 1 and T 2* values in invasion group were higher than those in non-invasion group ( Z=4.42, P<0.001; Z=3.43, P<0.001), R 2* values and ADC values in the invasion group were lower than those in the non-invasion group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.07, P<0.001; Z=-3.07, P=0.002). The AUC values of T 1, R 2*, T 2*, ADC, logistic model 1(T 1+R 2*+ADC) and logistic model 2(T 1+T 2*+ADC) for predicting pituitary tumor cavernous sinus invasion were 0.835, 0.767, 0.760, 0.733, 0.926 and 0.925, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the value of pituitary tumor T 1 was positively correlated with Ki-67 ( r=0.431, P=0.002). Conclusion:Quantitative parameters of MTP sequence and microview DWI sequence can quantitatively evaluate pituitary tumor invasion of cavernous sinus, and the combination of the two sequences can significantly improve the prediction efficiency.

Objective:To explore the genetic basis for a girl with primary microcephaly and growth retardation.Methods:A girl who was admitted to Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital in was selected as the study subject. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the child and her parents. Trio whole exome sequencing was carried out, and candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. This study was approved by the Medical Ethnics Committee of Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital (Ethics No. 202201278).Results:DNA sequencing revealed that the child has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the WDR62 gene, including a frameshifting c. 2963delC (p.Pro988Argfs*80) variant in exon 24 which was inherited from the unaffected father, and a nonsense c.3163G>T (p.Glu1055*) variant in exon 26, which was inherited from her unaffected mother. Both variants were predicted to affect the reading frame of the WDR62 gene. Conclusion:Based on the clinical manifestations, results of genetic testing and pedigree analysis, the compound heterozygous variants were predicted to underlay the pathogenesis of microcephaly and growth retardation in this child. Above discovery has expanded the mutational spectrum for WDR62-associated Primary microcephaly type 2, and facilitated genetic counseling for the family.

We report a family with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1(MEN1), in which the proband presented with primary amenorrhea and was diagnosed with both a pituitary prolactinoma and an ACTH-secreting adenoma. Genetic testing identified a heterozygous MEN1 gene c. 1449_1476del mutation in the proband, as well as in six additional family members, who exhibited variable clinical phenotypes. Following initial transsphenoidal pituitary surgery, the proband's symptoms and biochemical abnormalities persisted, with elevated ACTH and cortisol levels. Functional imaging using [ 68Ga]-DOTA-TATE PET/CT confirmed residual pituitary tumor tissue, and a second surgery resulted in biochemical remission.
