Objective:
To explore the association of screening myopia and sitting posture habits as well as screen viewing distance among primary school students, providing a scientific basis for myopia prevention and intervention among primary school students.
Methods:
From April to June 2024, a convenient sampling method was used to enroll 1 394 fourth grade students from four primary schools in a district of Beijing for vision examinations and questionnaire surveys. Logistic regression models were employed to analyze the relationship of screening myopia detection and sitting posture habits as well as viewing distance.
Results:
The screening myopia prevalence among primary school students was 63.8%. About 13.1% of students self reported poor sitting posture, and 47.1% selfreported a viewing distance of ≤20 cm. After adjusting for covariates including age, gender, school, sleep quality, parental myopia status, physical fitness level, daily high intensity physical activity, weekend outdoor activity time and types of after school services, Logistic regression analysis showed that students with poor sitting posture were more likely to have screening myopia than those with normal sitting posture ( OR =1.73,95% CI =1.03-2.92); students with a viewing distance of ≤20 cm were more likely to have screening myopia than those with a viewing distance of >20 cm( OR =1.32, 95% CI =1.02-1.71)( P <0.05). The association between sitting posture and screening myopia was more significant among boys( OR =2.00, 95% CI =1.03-3.88, P < 0.05 ). A multiplicative interaction was observed between sitting posture and viewing distance. Compared to primary school students with normal posture and a viewing distance of >20 cm, those with poor posture and a viewing distance of >20 cm were more likely to have screening myopia ( OR =1.82, 95% CI =1.12-2.96, P <0.05).
Conclusions
Both sitting posture habits and screen viewing distance are related to screening myopia in primary school students. Poor sitting posture poses a higher risk than screen distance, and the two factors exhibit an interactive effect on myopia risk.

Objective At present, the grading evaluation of patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) is still a focus and difficulty in related fields. Electroencephalogram (EEG) can directly read and continuously reflect scalp electrical activity generated by brain tissue structure, with high temporal resolution. Auditory stimulation is easy to operate and has broad application prospects in clinical detection of DOC. The causal network can intuitively reflect the direction of information transmission through the causal relationship between time series, helping us better understand the information interaction between different regions of the brain of patients. This paper combines EEG and causal networks to explore the differences in brain functional connectivity between patients with unresponsive arousal syndrome (VS) and those with minimum state of consciousness (MCS) under auditory stimulation. MethodsA total of 23 DOC patients were included, including 11 MCS patients and 12 VS patients. Based on the Oddball paradigm, auditory naming stimulation was performed on DOC patients and EEG signals of DOC patients were synchronously collected. The brain functional networks were constructed using multivariate Granger causality method, and the differences in node degree, clustering coefficient, global efficiency, and causal flow of the brain networks between MCS patients and VS patients were calculated. The differences in network characteristics of patients with different levels of consciousness under auditory stimulation were compared from the perspective of cooperation between brain regions. ResultsThe causal connectivity between most brain regions in MCS patients was stronger than that in VS patients, and MCS patients had more brain network connectivity edges than VS patients. The average degree (P<0.05), average clustering coefficient, and global efficiency (P<0.05) of MCS patients under naming stimulation were higher than those of VS patients. The difference in out-degree between each node of VS patients was larger, and the difference in in-degree between each node of MCS patients was smaller. The difference in in-degree of MCS patients was more significant than that of VS patients, and the inflow and outflow of information in the brain functional network of MCS patients were stronger than those of VS patients. MCS and VS patients had differences of causal flow in the frontal and temporal lobes, the direction of information transmission in the parietal lobe and central region was not the same, and MCS patients had more electrodes as causal sources than VS patients. ConclusionThe information transmission ability of MCS patients is stronger than that of VS patients under auditory naming stimulation. Compared with VS patients, MCS patients have an increase in the number of electrode channels as the causal source, an increase in information output to other brain regions, and also an increase in the information output within brain regions, which may indicate a better state of consciousness in patients. MCS patients have more electrode channels for information output in the frontal lobe than VS patients, and the number of electrode channels for changing the direction of information transmission in the frontal lobe is the highest. The frontal lobe is closely related to the level of consciousness in patients with consciousness disorders. This study can provide a theoretical basis for the grading evaluation of consciousness levels in DOC patients.

Polycystin-2 (also known as PC2, TRPP2, PKD2) is a major contributor to the underlying etiology of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), which is the most prevalent monogenic kidney disease in the world. As a transient receptor potential (TRP) channel protein, PC2 exhibits cation-permeable, Ca2+-dependent channel properties, and plays a crucial role in maintaining normal Ca2+ signaling in systemic physiology, particularly in ADPKD chronic kidney disease. Structurally, PC2 protein consists of six transmembrane structural domains (S1-S6), a polycystin-specific “tetragonal opening for polycystins” (TOP) domain located between the S1 and S2 transmembrane structures, and cytoplasmic N- and C-termini. Although the cytoplasmic N-terminus and C-terminus of PC2 may not be significant in the gating of PC2 channels, there is still much protein structural information that needs to be thoroughly investigated, including the regulation of channel function and the assembly of homotetrameric ion channels. This is further supported by the presence of human disease-associated mutation sites on the PC2 structure. Moreover, PC2 synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum is enriched in specific subcellular localization via membrane transport and can assemble itself into homotetrameric ion channels, as well as form heterotrimeric receptor-ion channel complexes with other proteins. These complexes are involved in a wide range of physiological functions, including the regulation of mechanosensation, cell polarity, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. In particular, PC2 assembles with chaperone proteins to form polycystic protein complexes that affect Ca2+ transport in cell membranes, cilia, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, and are involved in activating cell fate-related signaling pathways, particularly cell differentiation, proliferation, survival, and apoptosis, and more recently, autophagy. This leads to a shift of cystic cells from a normal uptake, quiescent state to a pathologically secreted, proliferative state. In conclusion, the complex structural and functional roles of PC2 highlight its critical importance in the pathogenesis of ADPKD, making it a promising target for therapeutic intervention.
