ObjectiveTo understand the visual environment sanitation in primary and secondary school classrooms in Minhang District, Shanghai, and to investigate the factors affecting the decline in students’ visual acuity. MethodsIn 2020, among all the primary and secondary schools in Minhang District, according to different types of classroom structures, levels, orientations, unilateral lighting, and bilateral lighting, a total of 20 231 students from 674 classrooms in primary and secondary schools were selected through stratified cluster sampling. Each monitored classroom was regarded as a research unit, and the naked eye vision of students was tested using a standard logarithmic vision chart during the 2020 and 2021 academic years. The change in average visual acuity between the two measurements was taken as the dependent variable, and the visual environment indices were considered as independent variables. The relationship between classroom visual environment indices and the decline in students’ naked eye vision was analyzed. ResultsThe qualification rates for per capita classroom area, window to floor area ratio, average illuminance of the blackboard, uniformity of blackboard illuminance, average illuminance of the desks, uniformity of desk illuminance, lighting coefficient of classroom, blackboard reflection ratio, back wall reflection ratio, and distance between lamps and desks were 79.53%, 88.58%, 46.74%, 70.33%,64.69%, 80.86%, 71.81%, 20.30%, 1.63%, and 97.53%, respectively. The average naked eye vision of primary and secondary school students in the 2020 academic year was 4.75±0.37 (right eye) and 4.76±0.37 (left eye), while in the 2021 academic year, it was 4.70±0.39 (right eye) and 4.71±0.38 (left eye). There was a significant decrease in the naked eye vision of primary and secondary school students in the 2021 academic year compared to that of 2020 (P<0.05). Univariate linear regression analysis showed a significant correlation between grade, average illuminance of the blackboard, average illuminance of the desks, uniformity of desk illuminance, lighting coefficient, and distance between lamps and desks, and the decline of students’ naked eye vision within one academic year (P<0.05). After adjusting for grade, multiple linear regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between the average illuminance of the blackboard, uniformity of desk illuminance, lighting coefficient, and distance between lamps and desks, and the decline of students’ naked eye vision within one academic year (P<0.05). Higher average illuminance of the blackboard, uniformity of desk illuminance, lighting coefficient, and distance between lamps and desks were protective factors for naked eye vision. ConclusionThe visual environment of primary and secondary school classrooms in Minhang District is a matter of concern. Average illuminance of the blackboard, uniformity of desk illuminance, lighting coefficient, and distance between lamps and desks are related to the degree of visual impairment in students over a year.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of long intramedullary nails versus short intramedullary nails in the treatment of AO/OTA 31-A3 intertrochanteric fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 60 patients with AO/OTA 31-A3 intertrochanteric femur fractures treated between March 2019 and August 2022. The patients were randomly divided into two groups (the long nail group and the short nail group). Thirty-four patients were treated with long intramedullary nails, including 16 males and 18 females, aged 68.41±17.84 years old (range 31-96 years). Twenty-six patients were treated with short intramedullary nails, including 13 males and 13 females, aged 72.23±13.97 years old (range 31-90 years). The causes of injury, fracture classification (AO/OTA classification), intraoperative blood loss, operation time, fracture healing time, imaging indexes (fracture reduction quality, postoperative neck trunk angle, and medial support), Harris score of the hip joint at the last follow-up, one-year mortality rates and complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The follow-up time was 24.26±6.67 months in the long nail group and 24.31±5.60 months in the short nail group, and the general information of the two groups were comparable. Between the long nail and short nail group, the intraoperative blood loss was 281.47±235.28 ml vs. 121.92±84.14 ml and the operation time was 110.44±24.63 min vs. 81.15±28.54 min with significant differences ( P<0.05). While the length of hospital stay was 12.35±4.81 d vs. 10.89±4.30 d, the good rate of fracture reduction was 55.9% vs. 61.53%, the fracture healing time was 120.44±16.43 d vs. 128.07±18.33 d, the presence rate of medial support was 67.6% vs. 79.4%, and the excellent rate of Harris score was 65.4% vs. 65.4% with no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). One-year mortality rates was 5.3% vs. 7.1% and complications was 11.7% vs. 15.4% with no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Both long intramedullary nails and short intramedullary nails are effective in the treatment of AO/OTA 31-A3 intertrochanteric femur fractures. However, surgical time and intraoperative blood loss was less in the short nail group.

Objective:To evaluate the short-term efficacy and safety of 3D printing patient-matched artificial vertebral body in clinical research and application.Methods:A total of 12 patients with spinal tumors were enrolled 7 males (58.33%) and 5 females (41.67%), aged from 18 to 65 years old in The First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force military Medical University (hereinafter referred to as Xijing Hospital) and Peking University people's Hospital from September 2021 to July 2022. The spinal vertebra defect were restored by using 3D printing patient-matched artificial vertebral body after tumor resection. All patients who accepted TES and 3D printing patient-matched artificial vertebral body implantation were included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The bone interface fusion was evaluated by the imaging fusion criteria of Brantigan and Steffee at 3 and 6 months after operation, the curative effect was evaluated by comparing Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score at 3 and 6 months after operation, visual analogue scale (VAS) 3 months after operation and intervertebral height at 3 and 6 months after operation with those before operation, and the safety was evaluated by adverse event recording.Results:All 12 patients completed the operation successfully, and the operation sites were thoracic vertebrae in 6 cases (50%), thoracolumbar in 3 cases (25%) and lumbar vertebrae in 3 cases (25%). All patients were followed up. The mean follow-up time was 23.92±3.23 months (range, 19-29 months). No tumor recurrence or metastasis was observed during this period. All patients were followed up at 15 days, 3 months and 6 months after operation. During the 6-month follow-up, X ray results showed that interface of bone and the vertebral body were fused in all of the 12 patients, and the effective rate of fusion was 100%. The 95% confidence interval is calculated to be (75.6%-100%). Six months after operation, the improvement rate of JOA score was excellent in 10 cases, good in 1 case, poor in 1 case, and the excellent and good rate was 91.66%. The preoperative VAS score was 4.08 ±2.47, and during the 3-month follow-up, the VAS score was improved to 1.83 ±1.59. Compared with the preoperative VAS score, the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.635, P=0.023). The intervertebral height before operation, 15 days after operation, 3 months after operation and 6 months after operation were 32.75 (25.94, 68.20), 41.09 (30.55, 70.20), 40.70 (30.23, 67.83) and 40.74 (30.23, 67.08), respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference (χ 2=0.768, P=0.857). No implant-related adverse events occurred after operation. Conclusion:The 3D printing patient-matched artificial vertebral body used in this study has satisfactory short-term efficacy and safety in the reconstruction of spinal stability after spinal tumor resection.

Objective To provide reference for the formulation of public health policies through exploring the disease burden of aortic aneurysm (AA) in Chinese young adults. Methods We analyzed sex-specific mortality rates and years of life lost (YLLs) among Chinese young adults with AA in Global Burden of Disease (GBD) from 1990 to 2019, and compared with global and young adult AA data stratified by sociodemographic index (SDI). Joinpoint was used to analyze the time trend of AA burden among young males and females in China. The attributable risk factors for AA burden in young adults and its characteristics were analyzed. Results Among young adults (15-39 years old) in China, the total of AA deaths in 2019 was 657 (95%UI 549-791), with an increase of 16.90% compared with 1990. The mortality rate in 2019 was 0.13 per 100 000 (95%UI 0.11-0.16), with an increase of 30.00% compared with 1990. In 2019, a total of 36921 YLLs (95%UI 30 865-44 445) were produced by young adults in China, with an increase of 13.21% compared with 1990. The YLLs rate in 2019 was 7.42 per 100 000 (95%UI 6.20-8.93), with an increase of 24.92% compared with 1990. The male YLLs rate was 11.49 per 100 000 (95%UI 9.22-14.28), with an increase of 35.18%. The female YLLs rate was 3.11 per 100 000 (95%UI 2.36-3.98), with a decrease of 3.12%. Both the AA mortality rate and YLLs rate in male young adults were higher than those in female young adults, and the growth rate from 1990 to 2019 was significantly higher than that in females. Conclusion The disease burden of AA among young adults in China increases significantly from 1990 to 2019, mainly among males. The time trend of male and female AA YLLs in Chinese young adults is obviously inconsistent. The AA YLLs of Chinese male young adults are positively correlated with economic development and the progress of medical technology, and are in the process of gradual increase. The AA YLLs of Chinese female young adults are much lower than the average level, which is closely related to the low smoking rate.
