AIM: To investigate the efficacy and safety of intense pulsed light(IPL)combined with meibomian gland massage and tobramycin and dexamethasone ophthalmic ointment in treating dry eye(DE)with meibomian gland dysfunction after phacoemulsification(PHACO).METHODS: A total of 100 cases(100 eyes)of DE patients with meibomian gland dysfunction after receiving PHACO in our hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected and divided into control group(receiving meibomian gland massage + eye ointment)and observation group(receiving IPL + meibomian gland massage + eye cream treatment)according to different treatment methods, with 50 cases(50 eyes)in each group. The score of meibomian gland secretion, tear film break-up time(BUT), clinical efficacy and safety were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: After treatment, the scores of the meibomian gland secretion status decreased in both groups, and the observation group had lower scores(all P<0.05). After treatment, the BUT increased in both groups, and the observation group had higher BUT(P<0.05). The clinical efficacy of the observation group(98%)was higher than that of the control group(84%; P<0.05). In addition, the incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group(6%)was lower than that in the control group(20%; P<0.05).CONCLUSION: IPL combined with meibomian gland massage and tobramycin and dexamethasone ophthalmic ointment can effectively improve the clinical efficacy of DE patients after PHACO surgery, reduce adverse reactions, and have high safety.

Objective: To explore the association between sleep quality and cardiorespiratory fitness among secondary school students, so as to provide a reference for promoting the overall development of physical and mental health of Chinese adolescents. Methods: From September to December 2023, 5 713 secondary school students aged 13 to 18 years were selected by the stratified cluster random sampling method from Shanghai, Suzhou, Taiyuan, Wuyuan, Xingyi, and Urumqi, respectively. Sleep quality and cardiorespiratory fitness level of secondary school students were evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) combined with cardiorespiratory fitness test, and the association between sleep quality and cardiorespiratory fitness was analyzed by Pearson s correlation and multivariate linear regression. Results: The report rate of poor sleep quality among secondary school students was 33.7 %(1 926/5 713). The PSQI scores of girls aged 13-18 years were higher than those of boys ( χ 2=1.60, 12.78, 15.62, 3.04, 10.09, 13.65 ) ( P <0.05). The 20 m SRT of secondary school students was 40 (27，51) times, and the VO 2max was 46.27 (40. 84 ，51.30) mL/(kg min). The 20 m SRT and VO 2max of girls of all ages were lower than those of boys( Z =-15.27 to -6.41 , -18.06 to -14.07, P <0.05). Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO 2max) was negatively correlated with sleep duration and hypnotic medication scores in boys ( r =-0.032, -0.005); VO 2max was negatively correlated with sleep duration and daytime dysfunction scores in girls ( r =-0.028, -0.008) ( P <0.05). After controlling the related variables, linear regression analysis showed that the total PSQI score was negatively correlated with VO 2max among secondary school students( β =-0.347, P <0.01). Conclusions Secondary school students with better sleep quality have higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness. Sleep quality should be promoted to improve cardiorespiratory fitness levels in secondary school students.

Objective: To explore the relationship of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) among middle schoold students in Tibet, so as to provide empirical references for improving the cardiorespiratory fitness and health levels of adolescents in Tibet. Methods: From August to December 2020, 1 225 junior and senior high school students were selected from 2 middle schools in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, using the stratified cluster random sampling method. Triaxial accelerometers were used to evaluate PA and SB behaviors, and the 20 meter shuttle run was employed to assess CRF among the middle school students. Isochronous substitution modeling was used to analyze the associations of SB, low intensity physical activity (LPA), and moderate vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with CRF, and the saturation threshold effect in the dose response relationship between MVPA and CRF was analyzed through restricted cubic spline and two stage linear regression. Results: After adjusting for covariates such as gender, body mass index and sleep quality score, isotemporal substitution analysis showed that among junior high school students aged 13-15, replacing 30 minutes of SB ( B =1.73) or LPA ( B =2.38) with MVPA were positively associated with CRF (both P <0.05). Among senior high school students aged 16-18, replacing SB ( B =0.99) or LPA ( B =1.38) with MVPA were also positively associated with CRF (both P <0.05). Restricted cubic spline and two piecewise linear regression analyses indicated that only middle school girls aged 13-18 exhibited a saturation threshold effect between MVPA and CRF (logarithmic likelihood ratio test=0.03), with the optimal CRF improvement observed at 60 minutes of MVPA per day ( B=0.13, P ＜ 0.01). Conclusions Reducing SB and LPA while increasing MVPA can improve CRF in Tibetan middle school students. To maximize CRF improvement, middle school girls should engage in at least 60 minutes of MVPA daily.

Abstract Executive function development is crucial for the overall development of physical and mental health, improvement of mental health literacy, and enhancement of adolescent health and well being in the adolescent population. It is scientific and feasible to promote the development of executive function by improving the cardiorespiratory fitness of adolescents. Therefore, it is important to grasp the "cardiorespiratory fitness improvement" and actively explore ways and methods to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and thus promote the executive function of adolescents, in order to comprehensively strengthen the construction of the adolescent mental health protection mechanism and work system, and to improve the work of students mental health in the new era.

Objective: To explore of executive function in obese adolescents, so as to provide a reference for executive function enhancement intervention in obese adolescents. Methods: A convenience sample of 1 227 adolescents aged 13-18 years was selected from 2 secondary schools in Taiyuan City during March-April 2023. The Flanker task, N-back task and More odd shifting task was used to compare the different subfunctions of executive function (refreshing function, shifting function, inhibiting function) of 61 obese adolescents and 70 normal weight adolescents. Independent samples t-tests was used for between group comparisons and Cohen s d -tests was used to calculate between group differences in executive function between the two groups of adolescents. Results: Compared with the group of normal weight, time responses of the inhibitory function [(29.73±19.55)ms], the refreshing function [1-back: (1 088.75±275.76)ms, 2-back:( 1 285.44± 355.16)ms] and the shifting function [(380.34±153.18) ms] in the obese group were significantly longer than those in the normal weight group [(14.86±20.27, 888.38±286.57, 1 126.20± 287.43 , 323.12±134.71) ms] ( t =4.26, 4.06, 1.92,2.26, P < 0.05 ); inhibitory function (0.91±0.09) and 1-back (0.73±0.24) were also significantly less correct than in the normal weight group (0.94±0.05, 0.83±0.21) ( t =-2.04, -2.04, P <0.05). Obese adolescents showed moderate adverse effect sizes in the inhibition function ( d =0.746,0.712) and the refresh function 1-back, and smaller adverse effect sizes in the refresh function 2-back and the conversion function( d =0.497,0.398). Conclusion Obese adolescents have significant executive function deficits, but the degree of adverse varies across sub-functions, with inhibitory function being the core deficit component of executive function in obese adolescents.

Objective: To explore the intervention effect of different intensity of classroom physical exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness and executive function of Tibetan first grade students at high altitude, so as to provide reference for improving the level of cardiorespiratory fitness and executive function of Tibetan adolescents. Methods: From September to December 2020, 184 Tibetan students from five first grade classes in a middle school in Lhasa, Tibet, were randomly assigned into a control group (81 students in two classes) and an intervention group (103 students in three classes). Both groups followed the same teaching programme, but the intervention group received 36 sessions of moderate to high intensity classroom physical activity, one session per day, Monday,Wednesday and Friday, for 12 weeks. Before and after the intervention, cardiorespiratory fitness and executive function were tested by 20m round trip running and Flanker s experimental paradigm, 2-back s experimental paradigm, and More odd shifting experimental paradigm for inhibitory control, refreshing memory, and switching flexibility, and the results were analysed by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to compare the results of the pre and post intervention periods. Results: The maximum oxygen uptake (VO 2max ) of Tibetan first grade students in the intervention group increased by 2.25 mL/(kg〖WW）〗·〖WW(〗min) compared with the control group after the intervention ( t =-3.89, P <0.01); the response time of the inhibitory function was reduced by 4.40 ms, that of the refreshing function by 196.06 ms, and that of the switching function by 92.72 ms in the intervention group compared with the control group ( t =2.98, 4.82 ,3.21, P <0.05). Conclusion The 12 week moderate to high intensity classroom physical activity intervention has different degrees of improvement effects on cardiorespiratory fitness and executive function in Tibetan adolescents.

Abstract Executive function is an advanced cognitive process aimed at the flexible coordination, optimization, and control of the cognitive processes of task solving in order to accomplish a specific task, ensuring that the individual produces effective behaviors, including inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. Given the sensitivities and specificities that characterize an individual s physical and mental development during adolescence, this period is critical for the development of executive function in adolescents. In the paper, the influencing factors of adolescents executive function development are systematically described from three dimensions, namely, biology, environment and lifestyle; by analyzing the mechanisms and differences in the effects of different influencing factors, this editorial provides a scientific basis for adolescents executive function improvement and intervention.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of laser-assisted balloon angioplasty(LABA)in treating patients with infrapopliteal arterial occlusion complicated by critical limb ischemia(CLI).Methods The clinical data of patients with infrapopliteal artery occlusion complicated by CLI,who were admitted to the Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital to receive LABA(LABA group)or balloon angioplasty alone(BA group)between January 2019 and December 2021,were retrospectively analyzed.The incidence of perioperative complications and postoperative clinical efficacy were compared between the two groups.Results A total of 32 patients received LABA therapy and 40 patients received BA alone.The technical success rate,the postoperative ankle-brachial index(ABI),the numerical value of postoperative ABI value deducting preoperative ABI value,the postoperative 24-month continuous improvement rate of clinical symptoms and the primary patency rate of target vessels in the LABA group were remarkably higher than those in the BA group(all P＜0.05).No procedure-related target vessel perforation,amputation,or death occurred in both groups.No statistically significant differences in the target vessel dissection,distal embolism,remedial stenting,and postoperative 24-month amputation-free survival existed between the groups(all P＞0.05).Conclusion For the infrapopliteal arterial occlusion complicated by CLI,LABA therapy is clinically safe and effective,and its mid-term efficacy is superior to BA alone.

Objective:To understand the pathogen distributions of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children, and to provide evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The hospitalized children with CAP in Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January to December 2022 were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into infant group (28 d to less than one year), toddler group (one year to less than three years), preschool age group (three years to less than six years), and school age group (not less than six years) by age. According to the onset season, they were divided into spring group (February to April), summer group (May to July), autumn group (August to October), and winter group (January, November to December). Deep airway sputum samples were collected from all patients for bacterial culture identification. Respiratory viruses (influenza A virus (IVA), influenza B virus (IVB), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, parainfluenza virus type 1 (PIV1), parainfluenza virus type 2 (PIV2), parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV3)) were detected using direct immunofluorescence assay. Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) DNA was detected using fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and particle agglutination was used to detect serum MP antibodies. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test. Results:Among the 397 cases of CAP in children, pathogens were detected in 269 cases, with a positivity rate of 67.8%. A total of 309 pathogens were identified, including 204 strains of MP (66.0%), 60 strains of bacteria (19.4%), 42 strains of viruses (13.6%), and three strains of fungi (1.0%). Staphylococcus aureus (19 strains), Haemophilus influenzae (15 strains) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (five strains) were the predominant bacteria, while RSV (19 strains) and PIV3 (nine strains) were the main viruses. The distribution rates of MP, bacteria, and viruses showed statistically significant differences among different age groups ( χ2=99.82, 24.71 and 17.40, respectively, all P<0.05). MP infection was mainly observed in the preschool age group and school age group, and bacterial infection predominantly occurred in the infant group, and viral infection was most common in the toddler group. Among virus infected patients, RSV was detected in the toddler group and the preschool age group, while three cases of PIV3 cases were found in children over five years old. The distribution differences of MP, bacterial and viral infections between different seasons were statistically significant ( χ2=141.65, 20.44 and 31.87, respectively, all P<0.001), with a higher prevalence in winter. RSV infections demonstrated a clear seasonal trend, with 16 cases of RSV infections occurring in winter and spring. Conclusions:MP is the most frequently detected pathogen in children with CAP. Bacterial infection is the most common pathogen in infants with CAP. RSV is the most common viral pathogen, with infections concentrated in the toddler group and the preschool age group, and prevalence in winter and spring. Attention should be paid to PIV3 pneumonia in children over five years old. Rational drug use should be based on the pathogen spectrum characteristics of different seasons and age groups before selecting empirical treatment combinations.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of excimer laser atherectomy (ELA) combined with drug-coated balloon (DCB) in the treatment of femoropopliteal arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) and its influencing factors.Methods:The clinical data of patients with femoropopliteal ASO treated by ELA combined with DCB from July 2019 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including technical success rate, ankle-brachial index(ABI), primary patency rate and freedom from target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate. Cox regression was applied to analyze the risk factors affecting the decline in the rate of primary patency and freedom from TLR.Results:All 82 patients were treated with ELA+DCB. The technical success was 91.5%. The post-operative ABI (0.73±0.13) was significantly higher than preoperative ABI (0.39±0.11) ( t=35.26, P<0.001). The 24-month cumulative primary patency and TLR-free rates were 64.1% and 76.8%, respectively. Lesion length>15 cm ( HR=2.57, P=0.047) and severe calcification ( HR=3.26, P=0.021) were associated with loss of primary patency. Having diabetes ( HR=5.24, P=0.010) and a single postoperative outflow tract ( HR=4.18, P=0.008) were associated with a decrease in TLR-free rates. Conclusions:ELA combined with DCB for femoropopliteal ASO is safe and has good intermediate efficacy. Lesion length>15 cm and severe calcification were independent risk factors for primary patency rate, and diabetes and a single postoperative outflow tract were independent risk factors for TLR-free rate.
