1.Compatibility and comfort assessment of school desks and chairs in three cities in China
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(3):321-324
Objective:
To understand the subjective and objective comfort evaluations of students from different age groups on desks and chairs, so as to provide reference for standardized allocation and use of desks and chairs.
Methods:
From January to April 2024, a total of 2 446 students were selected from 26 schools in 13 districts (counties/cities) in Shanghai, Tianjin, and Wuxi from Jiangsu Province by using cluster random method, including students in kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools,senior high schools, colleges and universities. Standardized procedures were used to measure the height and weight of participants, and the matching desks and chairs models were selected according to the height. The subjective comfort of students on matching desks and chairs was investigated, and their objective comfort was evaluated by using a self designed questionnaire. The χ 2 test was used to analyze the differences of subjective perception and objective evaluation in comfort between different types of desks and chairs.
Results:
About 84.1% of the students subjectively thought that large desks and small chairs were very comfortable or relatively comfortable, followed by large desks and chairs (75.7%), and the proportion of small desks and chairs was the lowest among the three types (46.2%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=722.46, P <0.01). The reporting rates of primary school, junior high school and senior high school students who subjectively considered large desks and chairs to be very comfortable/relatively comfortable were higher than that of other types of desks and chairs, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=297.49, 252.82, 343.67, P <0.01). However, there was no significant difference in the subjective comfort evaluation of different types of desks and chairs among kindergarten children ( χ 2=3.21, P >0.05), and 66.3% of the students in colleges and universities felt very comfortable/relatively comfortable when they used the matching standard desks and chairs. The objective evaluation results of the comfort for the three types of desks and chairs were consistent with the subjective evaluation, but the proportions of the objective evaluation as very comfortable/relatively comfortable were higher than that of the subjective evaluation ( χ 2=20.76- 813.47, P <0.01).
Conclusions
Large desks and chairs, as well as large desks with small chairs are perceived comfortable, while small desks and chairs are perceived less comfortable. It is recommended to match the large desks and chairs or large desks and small chairs that are suitable for them according to the "standard", to promote physical and mental health of students.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(3):325-329
Objective:
To investigate the differences in the comfort of desks and chairs furniture among students with different body types according to the standard, so as to provide a reference for guiding students with overweight and obesity to choose the correct study furniture and revising the standards.
Methods:
From January to April 2024, 2 443 students from 26 schools in 13 districts (counties/cities) in Shanghai, Tianjin, and Jiangsu Province were selected by the cluster random sampling method to conduct physical examination. The subjective and objective evaluations of the comfort of height matched desks and chairs were investigated. The students were divided into non overweight, overweight, and obesity groups according to relevant criteria, and stratified analysis was performed. The χ 2 test was used to analyze differences in the comfort evaluations of desks and chairs among students with different body types.
Results:
Among the 2 443 students surveyed, 16.7% and 12.6% were respectively classified as overweight and obese. All students assigned the highest comfort ratings to large desks and small chairs (84.1%), and consistency was observed between students subjective and objective evaluations. The reporting rate of samll desks and chairs of obesity students subjective evaluation was lower (36.8%) than that of overweight and non overweight/obesity students (52.1%, 48.0%) ( χ 2=14.63, P <0.01). The overweight and obese group of primary school students had a worse evaluation of the comfort of large desks and chairs and small desks and chairs than those of the non overweight and obese groups( χ 2=15.78, 7.63, P <0.05). Among high school students, the overweight and obese group had worse evaluation of the comfort of large desks and chairs, as well as large desks and small chairs, than those of the non-overweight and obese groups( χ 2=9.62, 11.77, P <0.05). The objective evaluations revealed low compliance ratings on the posture of the thighs and calves for naturally forming an angle greater than 90° (55.6%), and headroom height under the table (50.3%) with small desks and chairs ( χ 2=94.05, 166.47, P <0.05).
Conclusions
Compared with non overweight/obese students, students with overweight and obese students report poor comfort evaluations of height matched desks and chairs. Revision of the standard should consider the body types of students, and evaluations of the comfort of desks and chairs furniture by students with overweight and obesity should be improved.

Objective To construct a risk prediction model for liver cancer in patients with chronic hepatitis C based on seven different machine learning algorithms and select the optimal model. Methods A total of 236 patients with chronic hepatitis C were selected as the research subjects. Patients were divided into a case group and a control group according to whether liver cancer occurs. Prediction models were constructed based on seven machine learning algorithms including classification and regression tree, random forest, gradient boosting decision tree, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), logistic regression, K-near neighbor, and support vector machine. The Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) algorithm was used to interpret the best prediction model. Results Among the seven models, the XGBoost model had the best comprehensive prediction performance (accuracy of 0.933, sensitivity of 0.775, specificity of 0.960, area under the ROC curve of 0.956, F1 score of 0.764). The SHAP algorithm suggested that AFP, age, AST, diabetes, BMI, PLT, ALT, liver cysts, FIB-4, and gender contributed to the model decision and are the risk factors for liver cancer in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Conclusion This study develops an interpretable machine learning model based on the XGBoost algorithm, which has a good reference value for individualized monitoring of liver cancer in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

Hip fracture in the elderly is characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high mortality and has been recognized as a public health issue threatening their health. Surgery is the preferred choice for the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture. However, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has an extremely high incidence rate during the perioperative period, and may significantly increase the risk of patients′ death once it progresses to pulmonary embolism. In response to this issue, the clinical guidelines and expert consensuses all emphasize active application of comprehensive preventive measures, including basic prevention, physical prevention, and pharmacological prevention. In this prevention system, basic prevention is the basis of physical and pharmacological prevention. However,there is a lack of unified and definite recommendations for basic preventive measures in clinical practice. To this end, the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and Nursing Department of the Orthopedic Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized relevant nursing experts to formulate Expert consensus on perioperative basic prevention for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2024) . A total of 10 recommendations were proposed, aiming to standardize the basic preventive measures for lower extremity DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period and promote their subsequent rehabilitation.

Objective:To investigate whether short chain fatty acid(SCFAs) intervention has an antidepressant effect by improving gut microbiota dysregulation and regulating the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB inflammatory pathway in depression model mice.Methods:Totally 60 SPF grade male C57BL/6 J mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into three groups: control group, depression model group, and SCFAs group, with 20 mice in each group.The mice in depression model group and SCFAs group were given the chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) stimulations for 8 weeks to establish the depression model.From the 6th week, SCFAs group mice were given a mixed solution of short chain fatty acid salts for drinking, until modeling was completed, meanwhile mice in the model group were given 0.78% NaCl solution for drinking.The depression-like behavior was assessed using the sucrose preference test (SPT) and forced swimming test (FST) following modeling, and the open field test (OFT) was employed to evaluate the anxiety-like behavior of mice.16S rRNA gene sequence was used to analyze the gut microbiota of mice.The activation of astrocytes and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB inflammatory pathway in hippocampus was determined by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot.SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA was used for comparison among the three groups, and LSD- t test was used for further pairwise comparisons. Results:There were statistically significant differences in the sugar water preference rate, the immobility time in FST, and the percentage of activity time in OFT among the three groups ( F=10.554, 10.912, 12.599, all P<0.05).The the sugar water preference rate and the percentage of activity time in OFT of the depression model group were both lower than those of the control group (both P<0.05), and the immobility time in FST was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05).The sugar water preference rate in SCFAs group((84.7±3.5)%, (75.3±6.0)%)and the percentage of activity time in OFT((7.4±1.4)%, (3.2±0.9)%) were both higher than those in the depression model group(both P<0.05 ), while the immobility time in FST was shorter than that in the depression model group((110.5±21.5) s, (148.0±20.1) s, P<0.05).There was a statistical difference in the β diversity of gut microbiota among three groups ( P=0.001).At the family level, compared with the depression model group, the relative abundance of Rikenellaceaee and Bacteroidaceae increased in the SCFAs group, while the relative abundance of Clostridia_UCG-014 decreased.At the genus level, the relative abundance of Clostridia_UCG-014 and Prevotella decreased, while the relative abundance of Alistipes increased (all P<0.05).The immunofluorescence results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in GFAP expression levels among the three groups of mice ( F=16.565, P=0.004).The GFAP expression in the depression model group was higher than that in the control group and SCFAs group (both P<0.05).The Western blot results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the expression levels of TLR4, MYD88, and NF-κB ptoteins in the hippocampal tissue of the three groups ( F=70.59, 174.39, 14.40, all P<0.05).The protein levels of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB in the depression model group were all higher than those in the control group and SCFAs group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:SCFAs can ameliorate the depressive-like behavior in depression model mice and reduce the activation of astrocytes in the hippocampus, which may be associated with the improvement of dysregulated gut microbiota and down-regulation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway protein.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and mortality of gynecological tumors in China from 1990 to 2019, and explore the impact of age, period and birth cohort on the incidence and mortality of gynecological tumors, and predict the incidence and mortality trends of gynecological tumors, so as to provide references for formulating the prevention and control strategies of gynecological tumors.Methods:Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019) database, the Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the change trends of standardized incidence rates and mortality rates of cervical cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer in China. The age, period and cohort effects of the incidence and mortality of 3 gynecological tumors were analyzed by using R software based on age-period-cohort model. The grey forecast model (GM) (1, 1) was used to fit the trends of incidence rates and mortality rates of 3 gynecological tumors, and predict the incidence rates and mortality rates from 2020 to 2034.Results:From 1990 to 2019, the standardized incidence rates of cervical cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer showed upward trends in China, the standardized incidence rates increased from 8.41/100 000, 5.13/100 000 and 2.56/100 000 in 1990 to 11.01/100 000, 6.39/100 000 and 4.54/100 000 in 2019, the average annual percent changes (AAPC) were 0.9 % (95% CI: 0.8%-1.1%), 0.8 % (95% CI: 0.6%-1.0%) and 2.0 % (95% CI: 1.9%-2.1%), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001). The standardized mortality rate of ovarian cancer showed an increasing trend year by year, the standardized mortality rate increased from 1.76/100 000 in 1990 to 2.77/100 000 in 2019, with the AAPC of 1.6 % (95% CI: 1.4%-1.7%), while the standardized mortality rates of uterine cancer and cervical cancer showed decreasing trends year by year, the standardized mortality rates decreased from 2.38/100 000 and 5.85/100 000 in 1990 to 1.17/100 000 and 5.13/100 000 in 2019, with the AAPC of -2.4 % (95% CI: -2.6% - -2.3%) and -0.4 % (95% CI: -1.6% - -0.3%), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.001).The analysis of age effect showed that the incidence rates and mortality rates of cervical cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer showed gradual upward trends with age, reaching a peak in the ≥85 years old group. The analysis of period effect showed that the incidence risk of cervical cancer and uterine cancer decreased firstly, then increased and then decreased, and the incidence risk of cervical cancer and uterine cancer was the highest in 1990-1994 ( RR = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.86-1.27) and 2005-2009 ( RR = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.88-1.31), respectively. The incidence risk of ovarian cancer increased firstly and then decreased, and the incidence risk of ovarian cancer was the highest in 2000-2004 ( RR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.71-1.30). The mortality risk of cervical cancer showed a trend of decreasing firstly, then increased and then decreased, and the mortality risk was the highest in 1990-1994 ( RR = 1.22, 95% CI: 0.86-1.27). The mortality risk of uterine cancer showed a trend of decreasing year by year, and the mortality risk was the highest in 1990-1994 ( RR = 1.26, 95% CI: 0.85-1.87). The mortality risk of ovarian cancer showed a trend of increasing firstly and then decreased, and the mortality risk was the highest in 1990-1994 ( RR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.69-1.48). Cohort effect analysis showed that the risk of incidence and mortality of cervical cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer showed a gradually decreasing trend except for a small fluctuation in individual birth cohorts, but the birth cohort 1990-1994 showed a rebound trend. The GM results showed that the overall incidence rates of cervical cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer in China were increased year by year. In addition to the mortality rate of uterine cancer at a stable level, the mortality rates of cervical cancer and ovarian cancer showed upward trends. Conclusions:The disease burden of gynecological tumors in China is still heavy. Age, period and birth cohort effects affect the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer to varying degrees.
