Objective:
To examine the association of 24 hour movement behaviors with emotional and behavioral problems among left behind children, so as to provide a theoretical reference for the practice of 24 hour activity interventions to promote emotional and behavioral problems in this population.
Methods:
From February to May 2023, 1 117 left behind children in grades 4-6 from 10 primary schools in five cities in Zhejiang Province were selected using a convenient cluster sampling method to conduct a questionnaire survey examining 24 hour movement behaviors, as well as emotional and behavioral problems. The general linear model was adopted to analyze the association between satisfying the 24 hour movement behavior guidelines, and emotional and behavioral problems among left behind children.
Results:
The sleep duration compliance rate was the highest (52.19%), while the moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) compliance rate was the lowest (17.73%). The compliance rate of the three activities accounted for 7.43 %. There was a dose response between the number of guidelines satisfied, and the emotional and behavior of left behind children; that was, satisfaction of a higher number of guidelines was associated with a lower risk of emotional and behavioral problems among left behind children (difficulty factor: β=-0.56, 95%CI =-1.23--0.19; strength factor: β=0.50, 95%CI =-0.48-1.22, P < 0.01). Compared to satisfying none of the guidelines, satisfying the guidelines for screen time ( β=-0.23, 95%CI =-2.18- -0.14 ) and sleep duration ( β=-0.13, 95%CI =-1.66--0.11) was negatively correlated with the difficulty factor, while satisfying the guideline for MVPA ( β=0.13, 95%CI =0.09-1.08) and sleep duration ( β=0.18, 95%CI =0.09-1.40) was positively associated with the strength factor. In addition, satisfying two or all three of the guidelines was more strongly associated with these outcomes than satisfying one of the recommendations ( P <0.01).
Conclusions
Meeting the 24 hour movement behavior guidelines can improve emotional and behavioral problems among left behind children. It is necessary to raise their awareness of the effect of satisfying the 24 hour movement behavior guidelines and formulate comprehensive intervention measures.

AIM: To evaluate the changes in corneal epithelial thickness(CET)and corneal optical density(CD)after smart pulse technology(SPT)-assisted transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy(TPRK)and analyze their correlation.METHODS: The prospective study included 60 patients(120 eyes)with myopia and myopic astigmatism who underwent SPT-TPRK in the ophthalmology department at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University between February and August 2023. Changes in CET and CD were evaluated preoperatively and at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo postoperatively.RESULTS: A total of 14 cases(28 eyes)were lost to follow-up, and 3 patients(6 eyes)with postoperative haze were excluded from this study, resulting in a final inclusion of 43 patients(86 eyes). At 1 wk after SPT-TPRK, CET had statistically significantly thickened compared to preoperative levels(P<0.05), particularly in the CET at 0-2 mm central corneal area(P<0.05). At 1 mo after SPT-TPRK, the CET at 0-2 mm area had statistically significantly decreased(P<0.05). At 3 mo after SPT-TPRK, the CET at 0-2 mm had essentially reached preoperative levels. Postoperative CD values increased, with a positive correlation between CET in the 0-2 mm area and CD in the whole 0-2 mm area(r=0.256, P<0.05), and a positive correlation between CET in the 2-5 mm area and CD in the anterior 2-6 mm area(r=0.319, P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Corneal epithelial remodeling takes 3 mo in areas within 2 mm of the central cornea; areas with thinner CET have faster postoperative corneal epithelial remodeling and greater thickening in the early postoperative period; CD increases in the early postoperative period compared to the preoperative value, and in some areas, there is a positive correlation between CET and CD value.
4.Research progress on the correlation between plaque biofilm and peri-implantitis
Journal of Prevention and Treatment for Stomatological Diseases 2024;32(9):730-736
Bacterial overproliferation and virulence factors in plaque biofilms can cause inflammation of soft and hard tissues around the implant, resulting in peri-implantitis. If not well controlled, severe peri-implantitis can lead to failure of implant osseointegration and implant loosening and loss. Currently, peri-implantitis can be treated by surgical and non-surgical treatment such as mechanical debridement and chemotherapy, but there remain problems related to the unpredictable therapeutic effect and high recurrence rate. Therefore, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between plaque biofilm formation and peri-implantitis is crucial for the prevention and treatment of peri-implantitis. In this article, we comprehensively review current research on the specific composition and formation process of biofilms and the influence of implant material characteristics on biofilm formation. The results of the research review indicated that peri-implantitis biofilms are composed of extracellular matrix, with a predominant population of anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria embedded within. The formation process includes the acquisition of an acquired membrane, microbial adhesion, and biofilm detachment and dispersion. Biofilm formation is primarily influenced by the implant surface roughness, surface free energy (SFE), and material properties. Current strategies for biofilm removal around implants mainly involve implant surface coating techniques, mechanical debridement, chemical agents, laser therapy, and photodynamic therapy; however, the therapeutic outcomes remain uncertain. The future research direction will be based on the characteristics of the plaque biofilm around the implant, combined with cutting-edge methods, such as nanotechnology, immunotherapy, and gene therapy, to continuously prevent the formation of plaque biofilm on the surface of the implant to prevent and treat peri-implantitis.

AIM: To evaluate the refractive status through computer refractometer and OPD-Scan III auto refractometer in cataract patients after extended depth of focus(EDOF)intraocular lens implantation.METHODS: Retrospective observational study. A total of 61 cases(76 eyes)that received phacomulsification and implanted with TECNIS® Symfony ZXR00 intraocular lens in Shanghai Eye Diseases Prevention & Treatment Center from May 2022 to May 2023 were collected. Measurements from the computer refractometer, OPD-Scan III auto refractometer, and subjective refraction, were taken from all patients on the same day postoperatively.RESULTS: There were statistical significant difference in sphere(S)and spherical equivalent(SE)readings from the computer refractometer and subjective refraction(all P<0.01), with mean differences of -0.67±0.37 D and -0.75±0.35 D, respectively, and the S and SE obtained from computer refractometer more incline to myopia than those from subjective refraction; there were statistical significant difference in computer refractometer and subjective refraction(P<0.01), with a relative small absolute difference(0.21±0.24 D). The S, cylinder(C)and SE of computer refractometer(S, C, SE)were positively correlated with subjective refraction(r=0.7994, 0.7929, and 0.8118, respectively, all P<0.01). Additionally, there were statistical significant differences in S, C and SE of OPD-Scan Ⅲ and subjective refraction(P<0.01), and the absolute differences of S(0.63±0.36 D), C(0.35±0.26 D)and SE(0.53±0.36 D)were small. Furthermore, the S, C and SE of OPD-Scan Ⅲ were positively correlated with subjective refraction(r=0.4410, 0.4982, 0.5224, all P<0.01).CONCLUSION: In patients who received implantation of EDOF lenses, the consistency of computer refractometer, OPD-Scan III auto refractometer and subjective refraction was good. The average difference of the S and SE obtained via computer refractometer was large, but both exhibited a myopic shift relative to those derived from subjective refraction, and the C values demonstrated minimal discrepancy. Furthermore, the differences between OPD-Scan III auto refractometer and subjective refraction were small, but the direction of the difference is unstable, sometimes it is myopic deviation, while sometimes it is hyperopic deviation.

Chinese Journal of Stomatology 2024;59(5):517-522
Immediate implant placement can reduce the number of treatments and the time without teeth, but it carries a higher aesthetic risk. Soft tissue augmentation can reduce the risk of gingival recession to a certain extent, improve the predictability and long-term stability of immediate implant aesthetics, and is currently a hot research topic. A comprehensive understanding of the evidence-based medicine and surgical techniques using soft tissue augmentation in immediate implant surgery can assist in clinical diagnosis, treatment decisions and improve treatment outcomes. This article elucidates the changes in soft and hard tissues after immediate implant placement, aesthetic risks, and risk factors. It also discusses the advantages, timing, material selection, and commonly used clinical techniques of soft tissue transplantation in immediate implantation, aiming to provide reference for clinical doctors to improve the effectiveness of immediate implantation.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of low-and medium-intensity resistance exercise in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF)combined with sarcopenia.Methods:In the randomized controlled study, 100 elderly patients with CHF combined with sarcopenia who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College from October 2020 to August 2022 were selected and divided into the control group and the intervention group according to the randomized numerical scale method.In the control group, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor inhibitors, β receptor antagonists, diuretics and other standard heart failure medications were routinely given, as well as nutritional support, health education and guidance; in the intervention group, low-intensity resistance exercise was given in addition to the treatment of the control group, and the two groups were evaluated for the NYHA cardiac function classification, grip strength, 5 times sitting time, 6-meter walking time, serum B-type natriuretic peptide level before and after 12 weeks of treatment; limb skeletal muscle mass index(ASMI), visceral fat area, extracellular water ratio were measured by body composition analyzer; right ventricular internal diameter, left atrial internal diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter, left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) were measured by echocardiography.Changes in each index before and after treatment were compared between the 2 groups.Serious adverse cardiovascular events related to training were followed up by outpatient clinic visits or telephone at 4-week interval over 12 weeks.Results:30 cases were dislodged because they could not adhere to the exercise or could not follow up on time, and finally 70 patients were included, 27 in the control group and 43 in the intervention group.Compared with pre-treatment, grip strength[(17.73±4.54)kg vs.(17.00±4.32)kg, t=8.969], limb skeletal muscle mass[(17.57±3.41)kg vs.(17.24±3.34)kg, t=7.170], and ASMI[(6.02±0.72)kg/m 2vs.(5.85±0.67)kg/m 2, t=6.866]were elevated in the intervention group after 12 weeks(all P<0.05); 5 times sitting up time[(16.17±3.25)s vs.(14.54±3.21)s, t=12.808, ]and 6-meter walking time[(12.30±3.24)s vs.(10.76±3.14)s, t=9.391]shortened(all P<0.05).Compared with pre-treatment, the intervention group showed reduced left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter[(59.62±9.07)mm vs.(58.48±9.71)mm, t=4.552], increased LVEF[(34.69±7.93)% vs.(35.88±7.92)%, t=4.752], and increased extracellular water ratio[(39.27±7.74)% vs.(38.92±7.41)%, t=6.058]after 12 weeks(all P<0.05).At 12 weeks of follow-up, no training-related serious adverse events occurred in the intervention group.The difference in the incidence of serious adverse cardiovascular events between the two groups(3.70% vs.2.33%, P>0.05)was not statistically significant. Conclusions:Treatment combined with low-and moderate-intensity resistance exercise improves muscle mass, muscle strength, physical function, and cardiac function in elderly patients with CHF combined with sarcopenia without increasing the incidence of adverse events.

Objective:To investigate the influence of varied oxygen (O 2) concentration environments on the phenotypic transformation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) and the mechanism of pulmonary hypertension. Methods:Primary rat PASMC were isolated and cultured through the process of enzymatic digestion. Following identification, the stable passaged PASMC were subjected to a 6-hour incubation in sealed containers with normal O 2 content (group C) and relative O 2 content comprising 55% (group H55), 75% (group H75), and 95% (group H95). mRNA and protein expression of α-Actin (α-SMA), smooth muscle 22α (SM22α), osteopontin (OPN), and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) were measured using real-time quantitative PCR and western blot analysis. Results:The H55 group displayed no significant difference from the C group in terms of mRNA and relative protein expression levels for α-SMA, SM22α, OPN, and MMP-2 (all P>0.05). On the other hand, groups H75 and H95 exhibited a reduction in mRNA and relative protein expression of α-SMA and SM22α, along with an increase in mRNA and relative protein expression of OPN and MMP-2 when compared with both the C and H55 groups (all P<0.05). The H95 group showed a higher relative mRNA expression of MMP-2 as compared to the H75 group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Oxygen concentration environments of 75% or higher can serve as the foundation for the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension, essentially by inducing a phenotypic transformation in PASMC towards adopting a robust secretory function. This induction is contingent upon the concentration of oxygen present.
