Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(11):1720-1723
Objective:
To assess the effectiveness of online and offline myopia prevention and control health education interventions using wearable behavior monitoring tools for non myopic elementary school students,so as to provide evidence based medical support for public health practices.
Methods:
From May to June in 2021, two schools were selected within the same county in Jiangsu Province. School 1 conducted online and offline parental health education ( n =111), while school 2 exclusively conducted offline health education activities, representing the traditional intervention group ( n =122). Students from both schools underwent monitoring through wearable behavior tracking tools, with feedback reports provided (eye distance, eye duration, ambient light, and outdoor exposure time). Both schools relied on activities to carry out health education interventions, and organized the distribution of promotional materials and display boards. The intervention group also established WeChat groups to conduct online "Healthy Parents Action" (answering and providing feedback on health knowledge related to myopia prevention and control, myopia prevention and control, science popularization, etc. raised by parents). Evaluation criteria included myopia rates, post dilation refractive error, and axial length, with a tracking period of two years (from 2021 to 2023). Additionally, the study collected refractive parameters from non myopic students who did not participate in wearable tool monitoring in the 12 classes across the two schools.
Results:
The baseline results indicated that there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of refractive parameters and wearable tool monitoring results (including screen time, viewing distance, outdoor exposure time, and homework light exposure)( t/Z/χ 2=1.94,1.17,0.58,0.40,0.80,0.69,0.32, P >0.05). After a two-year follow up, in the first and second year, the myopia rate of the online Healthy Parents Action group (11.4%, 29.7%) were lower than that of the traditional group (26.2%, 50.9%), and the degree of refractive change in the intervention group [0.63(0.38,1.19)D] was lower than that of the traditional group [0.91(0.40,1.50)D], and all the differences were statistically significant( χ 2/ Z =4.93,10.37,2.29, P <0.05). However, there were no significant differences ( P >0.05) in axial length changes between the two groups over the twoyear intervention period. Nevertheless, in the second year, the axial length change in the traditional group [0.35(0.20,0.65)mm] was lower than that in the natural observation group [0.55(0.30,0.75)mm], and this difference was statistically significant ( Z =1.92, P <0.05).
Conclusions
Online and offline myopia prevention and control health education can effectively reduce myopia rates. The intervention mode combining wearable behavior monitoring tools with online health education may have better effects, but further large sample and multi center studies are needed to provide additional evidence and confirmation.

The corresponding relationship between conventional ultrasound typing of NMLs and BI-RADS classification was analyzed, and CEUS was performed on breast NMLs to compare the diagnostic value of combined BI-RADS and CEUS. Results The NMLs conventional ultrasound classified Ⅰa and Ⅱa lesions corresponded to BI-RADS classification 4a; Ⅲ and Ⅳ lesions corresponded to BI-RADS classification 4b; Ⅰb and Ⅱb lesions corresponded to BI-RADS classification 4c. A statistically significant correlation was observed between the expansion of lesion range and the presence of "crab foot sign" in benign and malignant lesions after the enhancement (
3.Two year follow up of myopia cohort in central Jiangsu Province
Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(9):1298-1300
Objective:
Based on observational, longitudinal and intervention study of common diseases among students in Jiangsu Province, this paper presents the current progress of two year follow up of myopia cohort regarding the association between growth parameters with progression of myopia among children and adolescents in areas with rapid economic growth.
Methods:
This survey adopted the stratified cluster sampling method for school selection. The full automatic computer optometry (TOPCON RM800) was used to track myopia related parameters for all participants from 2019 to 2020 under the condition of mydriasis (compound topicamide eye drops). Relationship between growth parameters of children and adolescents and the incidence and progression of myopia was analyzed by using Cox regression multiple statistical model.
Results:
The myopia rates of students from grade 1 to grade 3 in 2019 were 5.4%, 21.5% and 37.3% respectively. After one year, the myopia rates of all school stages increased to 25.3%, 43.3% and 58.1% respectively( χ 2=53.59, 49.63, 32.52, P <0.01). The mean diopter of right eye and left eye after mydriasis were ( 0.30± 1.24/0.39±1.26)D in 2019 and (-0.33±1.54/-0.19±1.55)D in 2020, respectively based on Cox multiple regression results, age ( HR =1.21, 95% CI =1.09-1.34), naked eye vision ( HR =0.08, 95% CI =0.07-0.11), height ( HR =0.98, 95% CI =0.97-0.99) showed a strong correlation with the incidence and progression of myopia( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Myopia is growing rapidly in the central region of Jiangsu Province. It is suggested that diopter, axial length, naked eye vision, age, height and other indicators should be included in the refractive archives of children and adolescents in the region.

Objective:To observe and analyze the risk factors and optical coherence tomography (OCT) characteristics of exudative retinal detachment in patients with HELLP syndrome.Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January 2015 to March 2021, 168 eyes of 84 patients with HELLP syndrome who were hospitalized in The Third Central Hospital of Tianjin were included in the study. The average age of the patients was 30.96±4.09 years old. The patient’s general clinical data which included age, gestational week of delivery, type of HELLP syndrome, onset time of HELLP syndrome, parity, number of pregnancy, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total amount and duration of glucocorticoid, whether been admitted to intensive care unit; laboratory indicators, which included platelet count,serum albumin, serum uric acid, 24-hour urine protein quantification,aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, total bilirubin (TBIL) were collected. Whose the general condition was not allowed, however patients had a complaint of vision loss or suspected retinal detachment under direct ophthalmoscope examination, B-mode ultrasound was used to assist in the diagnosis. According to the presence or absence of exudative retinal detachment, patients were divided into retinal detachment group (net detachment group) and non-retinal detachment group (non-retinal detachment group), respectively 31 (36.90%, 31/84), 53 (63.10%, 53/84) cases. Among the 31 cases in the network disconnection group, 34 eyes in 17 cases underwent OCT. Two independent sample t tests were used to compare the measurement data of normal distribution between groups, Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare skewed distributions; the χ2 test was used to compare count data. The variables with statistical differences in univariate analysis were selected as independent variables, and binary logistic regression analysis was performed. Results:Among 84 patients, HELLP syndrome was classified into partial type and complete type, 41 (48.81%, 41/84) and 43 (51.19%, 43/84) cases, respectively. Compared with the non-net-off group, the patients in the off-line group had shorter gestational weeks ( t=2.51), higher diastolic blood pressure ( t=-2.61), greater total glucocorticoid use ( Z=-2.14), and longer use time of glucocorticoid ( Z=-2.75), the difference were statistically significant ( P<0.05); TBIL ( Z=-2.49), serum albumin ( t=2.06) levels decreased, and 24-hour urine protein quantitative ( Z=-4.35) levels increased, the difference were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the increase of 24-hour urine protein level increased the risk of exudative retinal detachment ( P<0.05) (odds ratio=1.20, 95% confidence interval 1.06-1.37). Among the 34 eyes that underwent OCT examination, 18 eyes showed that the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layer was not smooth, thickened, and seemed to have adhesion to the detached retina. After the reattachment of retinal detachment, the abovementioned changes of RPE still existed, but reduced; the ellipsoid zone still has discontinuity, partial rupture, and even extensive loss in 16 eyes. Conclusion:The quantitative increase of 24-hour urine protein is a risk factor for the occurrence of exudative retinal detachment in HELLP syndrome; some patients with exudative retinal detachment are still missing the ellipsoid zone after reattachment.

Objective To establish a blast injury experimental model using a shock tube at lateral lying position of C57BL/6 mice, investigate biomechanical responses of macrophages/microglia cells in the heart, lung and brain tissues to mechanical damage by shock wave within 24 hours. Methods Shock tube was employed to generate a shock wave to C57BL/6 mice. Firstly, the weight changes of mice were measured at different time points after the shock. Then the cardiac, pulmonary and whole brain tissue samples were dissected after anesthesia. Pathological sections were stained with HE staining to detect structural damage; the TUNEL staining method was used to mark and count the proportion of dead cells in each tissue. Microglial cells were labeled with fluorescent antibody, while responses and changes of macrophages/microglia after shock loading were analyzed. Results The shock tube exerted 179 kPa overpressure shock wave upon sideway of the mouse, and lethal rate of the mouse was 3.33%. Compared with normal control group, the mice in experimental group had a significant weight loss within 24 hours after loading shock. Pathological sections showed rupture of lung tissues after shock, accompanied by alveolar protein deposition, pulmonary bulla and other diseases. Fluorescence staining showed that lung tissue was recruited and activated in a large amount within 24 hours. The proportion of dead cells cleared rebounded to normal level within 24 hours. The heart was highly tolerant to shock, and macrophages appeared near the large blood vessels. The brain showed unilateral aggregation of microglia due to the impact posture, mainly due to prolonged inflammation and a higher proportion of dead cells at the junction of gray and white matter. Conclusions A blast shock model at lateral lying position of the mouse was established. Within 24 hours, macrophages/microglia were recruited quickly to the injury site after being impacted, which mediated strong immune stress, and might participate in the immune response to trigger a second long-term inflammatory injury. The results of the study provide experimental basis for the evaluation of primary impact injury, such as dose-effect relationship and tissue damage difference.

Objective:To observe and preliminary investigate the influencing factors of exudative retinal detachment in patients with severe preeclampsia (S-PE) and its influence on pregnancy outcome.Methods:A total of 89 patients of S-PE patients diagnosed in Department of Obstetrics in The Third Central Hospital of Tianjin from July 2018 to June 2020 were included in this study. According to whether the patients were complicated with exudative retinal detachment, they were divided into retinal detachment group (43 cases) and non retinal detachment group (46 cases). All patients underwent direct ophthalmoscopy, and those with suspected or definite retinal detachment underwent optical coherence tomography or B-mode ultrasonography. The age, course of disease, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, laboratory serum albumin level, 24 h urinary protein, platelet count, mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width and serum uric acid content were collected. The average age ( t=-1.01), body mass index ( t=-1.799), course of disease ( t=-1.657) and constituent ratio of primipara and multipara in the two groups were compared ( χ2=1.411), the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The end of pregnancy time, systemic complications, fetal outcomes and neonatal Apgar scores were analyzed, retrospectively. Independent sample t test was used to compare the quantitative data between the two groups; Chi square test was used to compare qualitative data. Binary logistic regression analysis to screen the influencing factors of exudative retinal detachment in S-PE. Results:Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were higher in the retinal detachment group than in the non retinal detachment group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.087, 2.810; P=0.040, 0.006). Serum albumin ( t=-10.404), 24-hour urinary protein quantification ( t=6.401), blood uric acid ( t=3.910), platelet count ( t=-6.124) and platelet distribution width ( t=2.992) were compared between the two groups, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There were 30 (69.77%, 30/43) cases in retinal detachment group and 14 (30.43%, 14/46) cases in non retinal detachment group with severe systemic complications; The average time of ending pregnancy was 34.66±3.29 and 38.25±1.62 weeks; The average Apgar scores at birth were 7.28±3.40 and 9.46±1.59. The incidence of severe systemic complications in two groups ( χ2=13.755), the end of pregnancy time ( t=-6.448), Apgar score at birth ( t=-3.824), the differences were statistically significant ( P=0.000、0.000、0.000). Fetal distress and death were 8 (18.60%, 8/43), 7 (16.28%, 7/43) and 7 (15.22%, 7/46), 1 (2.17%, 1/46) in retinal detachment group and non retinal detachment group respectively. There was no significant difference in the incidence of fetal distress between the two groups ( χ2=0.182, P=0.670). The difference of fetal mortality was statistically significant ( P= 0.027). Logistic regression analysis showed that serum albumin and uric acid were associated with exudative retinal detachment in patients with S-PE ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Serum albumin and uric acid are the influencing factors of exudative retinal detachment in patients with S-PE. Patients with exudative retinal detachment are prone to adverse pregnancy outcomes.

HuR (human antigen R), an mRNA-binding protein responsible for poor prognosis in nearly all kinds of malignancies, is a potential anti-tumor target for drug development. While screening HuR inhibitors with a fluorescence polarization (FP) based high-throughput screening (HTS) system, the clinically used drug eltrombopag was identified. Activity of eltrombopag on molecular level was verified with FP, electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), simulation docking and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Further, we showed that eltrombopag inhibited cell proliferation of multiple cancer cell lines and macrophages, and the anti-tumor activity was also demonstrated in a 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model. The data showed that eltrombopag was efficient in reducing microvessels in tumor tissues. We then confirmed the HuR-dependent anti-angiogenesis effect of eltrombopag in 4T1 cells and RAW264.7 macrophages with qRT-PCR, HuR-overexpression and HuR-silencing assays, RNA stability assays, RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase assays. Finally, we analyzed the anti-angiogenesis effect of eltrombopag on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) mediated by macrophages with cell scratch assay and Matrigel angiogenesis assay. With these data, we revealed the HuR-dependent anti-angiogenesis effect of eltrombopag in breast tumor, suggesting that the existing drug eltrombopag may be used as an anti-cancer drug.

OBJECTIVE: To optimize the integrated processing technology for “precise decoction pieces” of Helianthus annuus. METHODS: The contents of total flavonoids and total protein in H. annuus were determined by UV spectrophotometry with rutin and bovine serum albumin as control. Refering to Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the contents of water soluble extract, dilute ethanol extracts and ethyl acetate extract were determined. Based on the different needs such as maintaining quality consistency with the original medicinal materials, preference for anti-gout treatment, preference for liver calming and pain relief, using the contents of total flavonoids, total protein and 3 kinds of polar extract as indexes, gray correlation method was used to optimize the integrated processing technology of 3 kinds of “precise decoction pieces” of H. annuus. RESULTS: Gray correlation analysis showed that the ideal sample sequence of decoction pieces in massive shape dried at 60 ℃ with the original medicinal materials and decoction pieces with preference use of liver calming and pain relief was the most relevant; the ideal sample sequence of ideal sample sequence of decoction pieces in massive shape dried in the shade with decoction pieces with clinical application preference of anti-gout therapy was the most relevant. CONCLUSIONS: Different integrated processing technology for “precise decoction pieces” of H. annuus can be adopted for different needs. If it is necessary to keep the quality consistent with the original medicinal materials or to prepare H. annuus decoction pieces for liver calming and pain relieving, medicinal material can be cut into massive shape and dried at 60 ℃; if it is necessary to prepare H. annuus decoction pieces for anti-gout treatment, cutting into massive shape and drying in the shade can be adopted.
