Objective:To assess the effectiveness of a 6-month Ba Duan Jin exercise program in improving the balance of community-dwelling older adults.Methods:A two arms, parallel-group, cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in 1 028 community residents aged 60-80 years in 40 communities in 5 provinces of China. Participants in the intervention group (20 communities, 523 people) received Ba Duan Jin exercise 5 days/week, 1 hour/day for 6 months, and three times of falls prevention health education, and the control group (20 communities, 505 people) received falls prevention health education same as the intervention group. The Berg balance scale (BBS) score was the leading outcome indicator, and the secondary outcome indicators included the length of time of standing on one foot (with eyes open and closed), standing in a tandem stance (with eyes open and closed), the closed circle test, and the timed up to test.Results:A total of 1 028 participants were included in the final analysis, including 731 women (71.11%) and 297 men (28.89%), and the age was (69.87±5.67) years. After the 3-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 3.05 (95% CI: 2.23-3.88) points ( P<0.001). After the 6-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 4.70 (95% CI: 4.03-5.37) points ( P<0.001). Ba Duan Jin showed significant improvement ( P<0.05) in all secondary outcomes after 6 months of exercise in the intervention group compared with the control group. Conclusions:This study showed that Ba Duan Jin exercise can improve balance in community-dwelling older adults aged 60-80. The longer the exercise time, the better the improvement.

Objective To study the influence of implant depth and scanning rod lengths on the accuracy of digital impression for single-tooth implant restoration of the mandibular posterior teeth.Methods Five standard dental cast models with missing right mandibular first molar(46)were prepared with the subgingival implant depths of 0,1,3,5 and 7 mm.ITI RC and ITI RC H11 scanning rods were connected to the replacement body and placed into the seating tract for scanning.The reference data were obtained using a 3D dental scanner,and the experimental data were obtained by 10 scans of each model using a digitized intraoral scanner.Geomagic Wrap 2021 was used to analyze the model data to test the trueness and precision of the models.Results The trueness did not differ significantly among the groups(P>0.05).The implant depth of 1 mm achieved the highest impression precision(66.81±2.45 μm),and the depth of 0 mm resulted in a significantly lower precision(95.60±3.04 μm)than the depth of 1 and 3 mm.Starting from the subgingival depth of 1 mm,the precision of the scan decreased progressively with the increase of the implant depth.At the subgingival implant depth of 5 or 7 mm,the use of an extended rod significantly improved the scan precision.Conclusion For single-tooth implant restoration of the mandibular posterior teeth,the implant depth can substantially affect the accuracy of digital impression,which decreases as the implant depth increases.For a deep implant,the use of a longer scanning rod can improve the scanning accuracy.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the expression of cyclic RNA PIP5K1A (circPIP5K1A) and microRNA-124-3p (miR-124-3p) in the serum and the severity of the disease and infertility in patients with endometriosis (EM) .Methods:A total of 110 cases of EM patients admitted to Shanxi Provincial Children's Hospital (Shanxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital) from Jan. 2020 to Jan. 2022 were regarded as the research objects, and were diveded into infertility group (44 cases) and successful pregnancy group (66 cases) according to the pregnancy outcome. General data were collected and the levels of serum miR-124-3p and circPIP5K1A were compared between the two groups; Pearson correlation was applied to analyze the correlation between serum miR-124-3p and circPIP5K1A. The diagnostic value of miR-124-3p and circPIP5K1A levels in patients with stage III-V EM was evaluated by ROC curve; Logistic regression analysis was applied to analyze the factors influencing the occurrence of infertility.Results:The expression level of serum miR-124-3p in stage Ⅰ EM patients (1.06±0.21) was higher than that in stage Ⅱ (0.83±0.19), stage Ⅲ (0.65±0.12) and stage Ⅴ (0.44±0.08), and the serum miR-124-3p level decreased with the increase of r-AFS stage. The differences were statistically significant ( t=54.29, P<0.05). The expression level of circPIP5K1A (0.77±0.12) was lower than that of stage Ⅱ (0.90±0.15), stage Ⅲ (1.20±0.20) and stage Ⅴ (1.53±0.26), and increased with the increase of r-AFS stage, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=90.45, P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression of circPIP5K1A and miR-124-3p in serum of EM patients was negatively correlated ( r=-0.424, P<0.05) ; the serum miR-124-3p level in infertility group was lower than that in successful pregnancy group, and the serum circPIP5K1A level in infertility group was higher than that in successful pregnancy group ( P<0.05). ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of serum miR-124-3p and circPIP5K1A levels in the diagnosis of stage III-V EM patients was 0.900 and 0.887 respectively. The corresponding sensitivity was 88.24%, 85.29%, and the specificity was 78.95%, 88.16%, respectively. The AUC of combined diagnosis was 0.937, the sensitivity was 82.35%, and the specificity was 90.79%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that miR-124-3p and circPIP5K1A were related factors affecting infertility ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The expression of miR-124-3p in the serum of EM patients decreases, and the expression of circPIP5K1A increases. The combined detection of miR-124-3p and circPIP5K1A has certain diagnostic value for the patients with stage III-V EM, and they are closely related to the occurrence of infertility.

Objective To observe the value of ultrasonic parameters for predicting whether patients with cesarean scar pregnancy(CSP)would benefit from ultrasound-guided suction curettage alone.Methods Totally 140 CSP patients diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound and initially treated with ultrasound-guided suction curettage alone were prospectively recruited and categorized into benefited group(n=103)and non-benefited group(n=37)according to bleeding during suction curettage and prognoses.The ultrasonic manifestations of CSP were observed,and the thickness of chorionic villi at the scar,as well as of residual myometrium of the anterior wall in the lower segment of the uterus,also the maximum diameter of the gestational sac were measured and compared between groups,and the parameters with quantitative data being statistically different between groups were converted into categorical predictor through analyzing of the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves and the optimal cut-off values.The independent predictors were selected among ultrasonic features and categorical predictor variables being statistically different between groups using multivariate logistic regression,and a combined predicting model was then constructed,and the predicting efficacy of the combined model and each categorical predictor alone was assessed according to the area under curve(AUC)and then were compared.Results Compared with non-benefited group,the gestational weeks in benefited group were smaller(P＜0.05),and the percentages of rich blood supply and the presence of embryos and fetal heartbeats were lower,with thinner chorionic villi at the scar,thicker residual myometrium and smaller maximal diameter of the gestational sac in benefited group(all P＜0.05).ROC curves analyses yielded the best cut-off value for dichotomy of chorionic villi thickness at the scar was 4.7 mm,of residual myometrium thickness was 1.8 mm and of the maximum diameter of the gestational sac was 29 mm,respectively,and then categorical predictor variable were obtained.Multivariate logistic regression showed that the transformed categorical predictors,i.e.the thickness degree of the chorionic villi at the scar,the thickness degree of the residual muscle layer and the size degree of the gestational sac,were all independent predictors of whether CSP patients would benefit from ultrasound-guided suction curettage alone(all P＜0.05).The AUC of the combined predicting model was 0.918,higher than that of each transformed categorical predictor alone(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The thickness of the chorionic villi at the scar ≤4.7 mm,the thickness of the residual muscle layer＞1.8 mm and the maximum diameter of the gestational sac≤29 mm were all independent predictors of CSP patients would benefit from ultrasound-guided suction curettage alone,and the predicting efficacy of the combined model was higher than that of each alone.

Abstract Children were vulnerable groups in major public health emergencies. In 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was widespread in the world. The mental health of school age children has become a worldwide concern. Herein, we conducted this review to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of general children and special children with a high risk of psychological problems, focusing on the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and post traumatic stress disorder among school age children in different countries and regions during the COVID-19 epidemic. Considering the susceptibility between individuals and the accessibility of social resources, we further explored the child, family, and social related factors affecting the mental health of school age children. Finally, some suggestions on the construction of children s mental health service system in major public health emergencies were put forward at the national, school family community, and individual levels. Building a safe and reliable child mental health protection network required the joint efforts of all sectors of society.

Objective: To examine the changes of depressive and anxiety symptoms in school aged children during home confinement and to identify possible influence of learning and lifestyle behaviors on mental health changes. Methods: The population of this study were obtained from the "Tongji Mental Health Cohort". Two primary schools in Wuhan were selected through cluster sampling and students in grade 2-5 were surveyed. This study was divided into two stages. In the first stage (T1=during home learning), a total of 2 588 valid questionnaires were collected. In the second phase (T2=during school learning), 2 424 children were followed up successfully. Combining the results of the depression and anxiety symptoms of the two surveys of children respectively to classify the children s psychological outcomes. Association between home learning and lifestyle behaviors with the change of psychological symptoms in school aged children were estimated by disordered multi classification Logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms were 28.9% and 21.0% in school aged children at T1, 35.6% and 30.6% at T2, respectively. The aggravation and persistence of depressive and anxiety symptoms in children were partly related to their home learning and lifestyle behaviors. Concentration in class（ OR=0.63，95%CI =0.45-0.89）, frequent interaction with teachers ( OR =0.74, 95% CI = 0.57- 0.95 ), participation in physical exercise at home ( OR =0.60, 95% CI =0.41-0.87) was negatively associated with depressive symptoms in children. Time spent on playing video games ( OR =1.15, 95% CI =1.06-1.24) and fear of infection with coronavirus disease 2019 ( OR =1.83, 95% CI =1.39-2.42) were positively associated with anxiety in children. Boys（ OR=0.70， 0.63 ） were more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety symptoms than girls. Conclusion The prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms among school aged children increased when they went back to school after home confinement, suggesting more attention are needed for mental health intervention among school aged children.

Objective: To investigate the progression of depressive and anxiety symptoms of children, especially whose parents were frontline workers in the combat of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and to provide evidence for children s mental health promotion. Methods: In June and December 2020, two surveys were conducted among the children in a primary school in Qiaokou District, Wuhan. The questionnaire included demographic information, student learning conditions, and depressive/anxiety symptoms. Results: A total of 963 children completed both surveys. The detection rate of depressive and anxiety symptoms at follow up was significantly higher than that at the baseline survey (depressive symptoms: OR=1.45, 95%CI =1.16-1.83; anxiety symptoms: OR=1.79, 95%CI =1.41-2.28, P <0.01). There was no statistically significant change in depressive/anxiety symptoms among children whose parents were frontline workers compared with those whose parents were not( P >0.05). Girls, lower learning efficiency, and less interaction with teachers in class were risk factors for depressive or anxiety symptoms of children( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Mental health status of children requires continuous attention. Moreover, timely psychological protection should be given to prevent the occurrence of psychological problems and the further deterioration of psychological problems.

Objective: To provide a largescale assessment the prevalence of poor vision in 2020 among children and adolescents in Wuhan City, Hubei province and to provide basis for healthy vision promotion. Methods: This crosssectional epidemiological study was conducted among 156 783 students, who lived in Wuhan during the COVID-19 period participated the vision screening through the online applet designed by Wuhan Center for Adolescent Poor Vision Prevetion and Control under the guidance of their guardians between June 19 and July 6, 2020. The demographic information and daily hours spent on various activities in the past week were investigated. The corresponding visual acuity data of students in 2019 before the COVID-19 outbreak was extracted from school vision monitoring records for each semester, which was measured by the experienced eye care professionals. Results: The detection rate of poor vision (51.04%) in 2020 was significantly higher than that in 2019(43.04%)( χ 2=68 944.95, P <0.01). After adjustment for covariates, the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval for poor vision were 1.17(1.13-1.20), 1.07(1.04-1.10), 0.67 (0.65-0.69) and 0.62(0.60-0.64) in students with online class time, recreational screen time, indoor and outdoor activity time in the highest tertile, compared with the lowest tertile groups. Conclusion Increased rate of poor vision among primary and secondary schoool students deserves further concern. It is necessary to strengthen intervention of eyesight protection. Policies and programs aimed at improving opportunities for physical activities and decreasing multiple screen behaviors should be given priority.

Objective: To investigate the association between the learning and living style with developmental dyslexia in school-aged children. Methods: Using stratified cluster sampling, a total of 11 668 schoolaged children (grade 2 to 6) in the cities of Wuhan, Hangzhou and Jining were selected to participate in this programme from April 2017 to April 2018. The investigation tools combined the questionnaire on associated factors for reading ability, Dyslexia Checklist for Chinese Children and Pupil Rating Scale Revised Screening for Learning. Results: Pupils with more than 20 minutes of exercise each day (OR=0.43-0.64) and at least 1-2 times per week (OR=0.34-0.48) had a lower risk of dyslexia. The association was observed between going to the library more than 1-2 times per semester (OR=0.41-0.62) and the decrease risk of dyslexia. Lacking active learning (OR=7.76, 95%CI=4.71-12.78), scheduled reading time (OR=2.55, 95%CI=2.01-3.23) and extracurricular training classes (OR=1.62, 95%CI=1.27-2.07) were positively associated with dyslexia. There was no significant difference in screen time duration between dyslexic and non-dyslexic children. Using electronic devices for learning was associated with decreased risk of dyslexia (OR=0.47, 95%CI=0.33-0.67), while playing video games was correlated with increased risk of dyslexia (OR=1.67, 95%CI=1.16-2.41). Conclusion Physical exercise, good study habits and using the electronic products in a proper way could reduce the risk of dyslexia to a certain extent. Parents and teachers should guide the school-aged children to develop a good learning and living style.
