Objective:
To study the correlation between electronic screen use and myopia among primary and secondary school students in six provinces and cities in China, in order to provide a scientific basis for comprehensive prevention and control of myopia.
Methods:
From November 2020 to June 2022, a total of 16 557 primary and secondary school students from six provinces and cities in China (Beijing City, Liaoning Province, Zhejiang Province, Henan Province, Shaanxi Province, Chongqing City) were selected by stratified cluster random sampling and probability smampling methods, and a questionnaire prepared by Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention was used to investigate their electronic screen use. According to Screening Criteria for Myopia in Children and Adolescents, 0.5% mass concentration of compound topicamide eye drops was used to paralyze the ciliary muscle and undergo slit lamp optometry. Chisquare test was used to compare the differences between groups, and binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between electronic screen use and myopia.
Results:
About 58.3% of primary and secondary school students used electronic screens for more than two hours a day on average, and 63.4% of primary and secondary school students used continuously electronic products for more than 15 minutes at a time for nonstudy purposes. After adjusting for confounding factors, parents unrestricted use of electronic screen time and electronic screen time ≥2 h/d were positively correlated with myopia (OR=1.27, 1.13, P<0.05). Gender stratified analysis showed that boys who used electronic screen time ≥2 h/d had a higher risk of myopia (OR=1.15, P<0.05). The results of grade stratification analysis showed that parents unrestricted electronic screen use time and electronic screen time ≥2 h/d were positively correlated with myopia in the lower grade of primary school students (OR=1.34, 1.18, P<0.05). Among the higher grade of primary school students, continuous use of electronic screens for nonstudy purposes for more than 15 minutes at one time was positively correlated with myopia (OR=1.18, P<0.05). There was a multiplicative interaction between total screen time and one continuous screen time (OR=1.04, P<0.05).
Conclusions
Primary and secondary students in six provinces and cities in China reports excessive electronic screen usage which is associated with myopia. Schools and parents should jointly limit the use of electronic screen among primary and secondary students to reduce the occurrence of myopia.

Objective:
To analyze the current status and related factors of comorbidity of myopia, obesity, and depression symptoms among middle school students in Beijing, so as to provide a basis for comprehensive public health interventions for common diseases.
Methods:
Through stratified cluster random sampling in October 2022, a total of 11 262 junior high school, senior high school, and vocational high school students in 16 districts of Beijing were surveyed with self administered questionnaires, physical examinations and visual acuity examinations. The χ 2 test and binary Logistic regression model were used to analyze group differences in the comorbidity of myopia, obesity and depression symptoms and factors influencing the comorbidity. Stratified analysis was applied to analyze the associations between health risk behaviors and the comorbidity.
Results:
The detection rate of comorbidity of myopia, obesity, and depression symptoms among middle school students in Beijing was 3.35%, the comorbidity rate among vocational high school students (4.61%) was higher than that in junior high school students (2.80%) and senior high school students (3.41%). The comorbidity rate was higher among students in suburban areas (3.66%) than that in urban areas (2.92%), and the differences was statistically significant ( χ 2=15.02, 4.63, P <0.05). Binary Logistic regression analyses indicated that middle school students with poor dietary behaviors ( OR =1.59) and excessive screen time ( OR =1.70) were associated with elevated risk of comorbidity of myopia, obesity, and depression symptoms. Both boys and girls with poor dietary behaviors ( OR =1.63, 1.69) and excessive screen time ( OR =1.45, 2.23) had elevated likelihood of comorbidity of myopia, obesity and depression symptoms. Students in junior high school and senior high school with poor dietary behaviors ( OR =2.16, 1.47) and excessive screen time ( OR =2.20, 1.63 ) had elevated likelihood of comorbidity of myopia, obesity, and depression symptoms ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
The current status of comorbidity of myopia, obesity, and depression symptoms among middle school students in Beijing is concerning. Schools and parents should work together to guide students to develop healthy behaviors such as balanced diet and moderate video, in order to achieve the goal of controlling myopia, obesity and depression symptoms.

Objective:
To investigate the comorbidity of screening myopia and scoliosis among primary and secondary school students in Beijing from 2019 to 2022 and its influencing factors, in order to provide new ideas for comprehensive prevention and control of myopia and scoliosis in children and adolescents.
Methods:
From 2019 to 2022, 34 923, 34 321, 36 008 and 35 598 primary and secondary school students in Beijing were selected by stratified cluster random sampling method, and visual acuity examination, scoliosis examination and questionnaire survey were conducted on them. Chisquare test was used to analyze the intergroup differences between screening myopia and scoliosis among primary and secondary school students, and the correlation factors between screening myopia and scoliosis were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.
Results:
From 2019 to 2022, the prevalence of screening myopia increased by year,while scoliosis decreased by year, and the comorbidity rate in 2022 (0.69%) decreased by 1.62% compared with 2019 (2.31%). In 2022, screening myopia with scoliosis rates (0.98%) than urban suburbs (0.50%), high school students (1.65%) >professional high school students (1.21%) >junior middle school students (0.76%) >primary school students (0.22%) (χ2=28.97, 153.55, P<0.01). The results of multivariate Logistic analysis found that insufficient sleep time and parents did not limit the use of electronic screen time were the risk factors for screening myopia and scoliosis [OR(95%CI)=1.59(1.20-2.12), 1.34(1.02-1.76), P<0.05]. Teachers often or always remind that reading and writing posture and one hour or more of moderateintensity physical activity every day were protective factors for screening myopia and scoliosis [OR(95%CI)=0.70(0.52-0.96), 0.56(0.34-0.92), P<0.05].
Conclusions
The comorbidity of acadmic screening myopia and scdiosis is not optimistic in Beijing. Attention should be paid to the reading and writing posture and related behavioral habits of children and adolescents, and ensure that children in each school section have sufficient sleep time, so as to prevent the occurrence and development of screening myopia and scoliosis.

[Objective] To establish a real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR nucleic acid detection method of human parvovirus B19 and validate the method systematically. [Methods] Specific primers and probes for the highly conserved regions of the three genotypes of B19 virus were designed, and B19 quantitative amplification standard curves were established. The accuracy, precision (repeatability and intermediate precision), linear range, quantification limit, detection limit, specificity, anti cross contamination, genotyping and anti-interference ability of this method were verified. [Results] When the quantitative reference range for B19 virus was 2.0×101 to 1.0×108 IU/mL, a double logarithmic regression analysis was performed between the measured values and the theoretical values, and the regression equation R2≥0.98 showed good linear correlation. The quantification limit was 20 IU/mL, with a detection rate of 100%. The detection limit was 10 IU/mL, and the detection rate is 95.23%. Three genotypes of B19 virus samples can be effectively detected. The plasma of seven non B19 pathogens, including hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, human immuno-deficiency virus, human cytomegalovirus, hepatitis E virus and Treponema pallidum, was non reactive and has good species specificity. Simultaneously, in the presence of seven other concurrent pathogens, positive samples with a weak positive concentration of E3 IU/mL could be stably detected, and the B19 nucleic acid testing method was not interfered with. When the hemoglobin concentration was 431 mg/dL, triglycerides (1 269 turbidity) and unconjugated bilirubin concentration was 20 mg/dL, this method was non reactive for all three common plasma interfering substances. In the presence of three common plasma interfering substances, positive samples with a weak positive concentration of E3 IU/mL could be stably detected, and the B19 nucleic acid testing method was not interfered with. The deviation between the detection values of standard substances at two concentration levels of S1 (E5 IU/mL) and S2 (E4 IU/mL) and the target values were≤±0.5 log value. The CV values of positive sample 1 (concentration level E5 IU/mL) and positive sample 2 (concentration level E4 IU/mL) for daily precision confirmation and continuous 5-day intra-day precision confirmation were both≤5%. [Conclusion] This method has strong specificity, high sensitivity, wide linear range, stability, reliability and high accuracy, and can be used for the detection of human parvovirus B19 nucleic acid in plasma.

Objective A simulation study was conducted to explore the effect and performance of g-computation-based joint mixed-effects model(JMM)on causal inference for controlling unmeasured confounders in longitudinal studies.Methods Longitudinal data including baseline and two follow-up visits were generated by computer simulations.The simulation scenarios included different sample sizes,the presence or absence of unmeasured confounders,and effects of unmeasured confounders.Causal effects were estimated using g-computation-based JMM,linear mixed-effects model,fixed effects model,and longitudinal target maximum likelihood estimation,respectively.Indicators including mean absolute deviation(MAD),standard error,root mean square error(RMSE),and 95%confidence interval coverage(95%CI coverage)were used to evaluate and compare the causal inference performance.Based on the physical examination cohort data of the menopausal women,four models were used to estimate the causal association between serum follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH)levels and lumbar bone density in menopausal women respectively,verifying the causal inference performance of models in the real longitudinal data.Results JMM had a better accuracy of causal inference with controlling unmeasured confounders.But its estimation stability was slightly worse.When strong unmeasured confounders existed,only JMM can accurately estimate the causal effect,and its precision and authenticity were better in scenarios with large sample sizes.Conclusion JMM can effectively control the unmeasured confounders and perform approximately unbiased causal estimation in longitudinal studies.

Objective:
To define the clinical, histopathological features and the prognostic factors affecting survival in patients with adult granulosa cell tumors of the ovary (AGCT).
Methods:
A 322 patients whose final pathologic outcome was AGCT treated at nine tertiary oncology centers between 1988 and 2021 participated in the study.
Results:
The mean age of the patients was 51.3±11.8 years and ranged from 21 to 82 years.According to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2014, 250 (77.6%) patients were stage I, 24 (7.5%) patients were stage II, 20 (6.2%) patients were stage III, and 3 (7.8%) were stage IV. Lymphadenectomy was added to the surgical procedure in 210(65.2%) patients. Lymph node involvement was noted in seven (3.3%) patients. Peritoneal cytology was positive in 19 (5.9%) patients, and 13 (4%) had metastases in the omentum. Of 285 patients who underwent hysterectomy, 19 (6.7%) had complex hyperplasia with atypia/ endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia, and 8 (2.8%) had grade 1 endometrioid endometrial carcinoma. It was found that 93 (28.9%) patients in the study group received adjuvant treatment. Bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin was the most commonly used chemotherapy protocol. The median follow-up time of the study group was 41 months (range, 1–276months). It was noted that 34 (10.6%) patients relapsed during this period, and 9 (2.8%)patients died because of the disease. The entire cohort had a 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) of 86% and a 5-year disease-specific survival of 98%. Recurrences were observed only in the pelvis in 13 patients and the extra-abdominal region in 7 patients. The recurrence rate increased 6.168-fold in patients with positive peritoneal cytology (95% confidence interval [CI]=1.914–19.878; p=0.002), 3.755-fold in stage II–IV (95% CI=1.275–11.063; p=0.016), and 2.517-fold in postmenopausal women (95% CI=1.017–6.233; p=0.046) increased.
Conclusion
In this study, lymph node involvement was detected in 3.3% of patients with AGCT. Therefore, it was concluded that lymphadenectomy can be avoided in primary surgical treatment. Positive peritoneal cytology, stage, and menopausal status were independent prognostic predictors of DFS.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)technology can directly show the changes of brain network and explain the central mechanism of Tai Chi remodeling of brain structure and function.In this paper,we collected the domestic and foreign research on the influence of Tai Chi movement on the brain network by using MRI technology,and combed it from the perspective of brain structure and function changes.The results revealed that Tai Chi may promote memory function,cognitive flexibility,inhibitory control,and working memory capacity by remodeling the structure and function of the medial temporal lobe and prefrontal cortex in older adults,which may be a potential central mechanism for Tai Chi to improve memory and cognitive control in the elderly.However,there are some problems in the current research,such as small sample size,insufficient long-term follow-up,and difficult evaluation of exercise intensity.It is necessary to carry out large-sample and long-term detailed research to further verify the current research results.
