Objective: Based on a cohort and intervention study of the Eastern Chinese Student Surveillance, Cohort and Intervention Study (ES-SCI), this research aims to explore the correlation between monitor of the school environment and longitudinal data on myopia and provide evidence for the government myopia intervention strategy. Methods: This survey adopts the stratified cluster sampling method with the school as the unit. Students from grade 1 to grade 3 were selected according to the whole class to monitor the school environment in the classroom. Students will use the full-automatic computer optometer (TOPCON RM800) to conduct optometry from 2019 to 2021 under the condition of mydriasis to perform refractive eye examinations. Meantime eye axis length monitoring was also conducted. Cox proportional risk regression model was used to explore the relationship between school environmental monitoring and the occurrence and development of students' myopia. Results: From 2019 to 2021, 2 670 students from 77 classrooms participated in the observation study. The students' diopter after right/left eye mydriasis decreased in varying degrees (P<0.001), and the axial length of the right/left eye increased in various degrees (P<0.001). The weighted qualified rate of per capita area of primary school classrooms increased from 18.0% in 2019 to 26.0% in 2021, the weighted average illuminance pass rate of blackboard surface increased from 23.8% in 2019 to 26.4% in 2021, and the weighted average illuminance pass rate of classroom table decreased from 86.7% in 2019 to 77.5% in 2021. The trend chi-square test was significant (P<0.05). Cox proportional risk regression showed that after correcting for the grade, gender, parental myopia, diet, sleep, near work (sitting posture, working time, electronic mobile equipment, eye exercises), and outdoor activities, the per capita area of 1.36- m² was the protective factor of eye axis length (HR=0.778, 95%CI: 0.659-0.918, P=0.003); The average reflection ratio of blackboard 0.15-0.19 was the protective factor of eye axis length (HR=0.685, 95%CI: 0.592-0.793, P<0.001); The average illumination of the blackboard 150-, 300-, 500- lx was the protective factor of the eye axis length (HR=0.456, 95%CI: 0.534-0.761, P<0.001; HR=0.794, 95%CI: 0.705-0.895, P<0.001; HR=0.690, 95%CI: 0.619-0.768, P<0.001). The blackboard evenness 0.40-0.59 was the risk factor of eye axis length (HR=1.528, 95%CI: 1.018-2.293, P=0.041), and the blackboard evenness 0.80- was the protection factor of eye axis length (HR=0.542, 95%CI: 0.404-0.726, P<0.001). The evenness of the desktop 0.40-0.59 was the protective factor of eye axis length (HR=0.820, 95%CI: 0.698-0.965, P=0.017). The average illuminance of 150-, 300-, 500- lx was the protective factor of a diopter (HR=0.638, 95%CI: 0.534-0.761, P<0.001; HR=0.911, 95%CI: 0.848-0.978, P=0.011; HR=0.750, 95%CI: 0.702-0.801, P<0.001). The average illumination of desktop 500- lx was a protective factor of a diopter (HR=0.855, 95%CI: 0.763-0.958, P=0.007). Conclusion: School environmental monitoring indicators, such as meeting per capita area standards, passing blackboard, and desk top-related indicators, all play protective effects on myopia development in students.

OBJECTIVES: To study the factors influencing the short-term (28 days) efficacy of initial adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) therapy for infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS), as well as the factors influencing recurrence and prognosis. METHODS: The clinical data were collected from the children with IESS who received ACTH therapy for the first time in the Department of Pediatric Neurology, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, from April 2008 to January 2018 and were followed up for ≥2 years. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the factors influencing the short-term efficacy of ACTH therapy, recurrence, and long-term prognosis. RESULTS: ACTH therapy achieved a control rate of seizures of 55.5% (111/200) on day 28 of treatment. Of the 111 children, 75 (67.6%) had no recurrence of seizures within 12 months of follow-up. The possibility of seizure control on day 28 of ACTH therapy in the children without focal seizures was 2.463 times that in those with focal seizures (P<0.05). The possibility of seizure control on day 28 of ACTH therapy in the children without hypsarrhythmia on electroencephalography on day 14 of ACTH therapy was 2.415 times that in those with hypsarrhythmia (P<0.05). The possibility of recurrence within 12 months after treatment was increased by 11.8% for every 1-month increase in the course of the disease (P<0.05). The possibility of moderate or severe developmental retardation or death in the children without seizure control after 28 days of ACTH therapy was 8.314 times that in those with seizure control (P<0.05). The possibility of moderate or severe developmental retardation or death in the children with structural etiology was 14.448 times that in those with unknown etiology (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Presence or absence of focal seizures and whether hypsarrhythmia disappears after 14 days of treatment can be used as predictors for the short-term efficacy of ACTH therapy, while the course of disease before treatment can be used as the predictor for recurrence after seizure control by ACTH therapy. The prognosis of IESS children is associated with etiology, and early control of seizures after ACTH therapy can improve long-term prognosis.

Chronic cough is caused by low levels of heat, mechanical or chemical exposure, which is characterized by the disorders of channels and receptors in neuroregulation such as the peripheral and central nerves. Potential regulatory targets of peripheral nerves include P2X3 receptors and transient receptor potential channels, while potential regulatory targets of central nerves include voltage-gated sodium channels, neurokinin-1 receptors, α-7acetylcholine receptors and gamma aminobutyric acid receptors. This paper focuses on the principle and clinical research evidence of several ongoing targeted therapy strategies, in order to provide new ideas for the development of drugs for the treatment of chronic cough.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of children with Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and to summarize the mid-term efficacy of China Net Childhood Lymphoma-mature B-cell lymphoma 2017 (CNCL-B-NHL-2017) regimen. Methods: Clinical features of 436 BL patients who were ≤18 years old and treated with the CNCL-B-NHL-2017 regimen from May 2017 to April 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Clinical characteristics of patients at disease onset were analyzed and the therapeutic effects of patients with different clinical stages and risk groups were compared. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression was used to identify the prognostic factors. Results: Among 436 patients, there were 368 (84.4%) males and 68 (15.6%) females, the age of disease onset was 6.0 (4.0, 9.0) years old. According to the St. Jude staging system, there were 4 patients (0.9%) with stage Ⅰ, 30 patients (6.9%) with stage Ⅱ, 217 patients (49.8%) with stage Ⅲ, and 185 patients (42.4%) with stage Ⅳ. All patients were stratified into following risk groups: group A (n=1, 0.2%), group B1 (n=46, 10.6%), group B2 (n=19, 4.4%), group C1 (n=285, 65.4%), group C2 (n=85, 19.5%). Sixty-three patients (14.4%) were treated with chemotherapy only and 373 patients (85.6%) were treated with chemotherapy combined with rituximab. Twenty-one patients (4.8%) suffered from progressive disease, 3 patients (0.7%) relapsed, and 13 patients (3.0%) died of treatment-related complications. The follow-up time of all patients was 24.0 (13.0, 35.0) months, the 2-year event free survival (EFS) rate of all patients was (90.9±1.4) %. The 2-year EFS rates of group A, B1, B2, C1 and C2 were 100.0%, 100.0%, (94.7±5.1) %, (90.7±1.7) % and (85.9±4.0) %, respectively. The 2-year EFS rates was higher in group A, B1, and B2 than those in group C1 (χ²=4.16, P=0.041) and group C2 (χ²=7.21, P=0.007). The 2-year EFS rates of the patients treated with chemotherapy alone and those treated with chemotherapy combined with rituximab were (79.3±5.1)% and (92.9±1.4)% (χ²=14.23, P<0.001) respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that stage Ⅳ (including leukemia stage), serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)>4-fold normal value, and with residual tumor in the mid-term evaluation were risk factors for poor prognosis (HR=1.38,1.23,8.52,95%CI 1.05-1.82,1.05-1.43,3.96-18.30). Conclusions: The CNCL-B-NHL-2017 regimen show significant effect in the treatment of pediatric BL. The combination of rituximab improve the efficacy further.

Objective: To explore the effects of exposure of pregnant rats to radio frequency electromagnetic field on the ultrastructure of hippocampus and the levels of obesity related protein (FTO) and nerve growth factor (NGF) in offspring rats. Methods: In September 2019, 36 healthy 7-week-old Wistar rats were selected, including 24 female rats (150-200 g) and 12 male rats (200-250 g) . The male and female mice were mated in the cage at 2: 1 ratio at 18: 00 every night. The smear results showed that the sperm was positive and the mating was successful. The day was regarded as the 0 day of pregnancy. Pregnant rats were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups and 3 control groups, with 4 rats in each group. The experimental group was exposed to 1 800 MHz, Wi-Fi and 1 800 MHz+Wi-Fi respectively, and the three control groups were exposed to virtual exposure. 12 hours a day for 21 days in three batches. After the end of exposure, the offspring of each group were raised for 7 weeks. The ultrastructural changes of the hippocampus were observed by transmission electron microscopy, the FTO level in the hippocampus was determined by Western blot, and the NGF level in the brain tissue was determined by ELISA. Results: Transmission electron microscopy showed that the nuclei of hippocampal tissue of female and male rats in the 1800 MHz group were slightly contracted, the cytoplasm was slightly edema, and the nuclei of male rats were obviously irregular. In the offspring of male and female rats in the Wi-Fi group, the nucleus of hippocampal tissue contracted seriously, the cell membrane was irregular, and the cytoplasm appeared obvious edema. In the 1800 MHz+Wi-Fi group, the nuclei of hippocampal tissue of both male and female offspring rats were severely contracted, the nuclear membrane was irregular, and the cytoplasm was severely edema. there was no significant difference in FTO level among the groups (P>0.05) . Compared with other groups, NGF content in hippocampus of offspring rats in the 1800 MHz+Wi-Fi group was significantly higher (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields will damage the morphological structure of hippocampal tissue of offspring and stimulate the increase of NGF expression in the hippocampus.

Objective:To study the changes of cytokines after cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB)in children with congenital heart disease.Methods:A total of 124 children with congenital heart disease underwent CPB surgery at Shanghai Children′s Medical Center from June 2020 to October 2021 with cytokine detection were enrolled.Twelve kinds of cytokines, white blood cell count(WBC)and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), C-reactive protein(CRP)and procalcitonin were detected before and 24 hours after operation.All patients were divided into CPB<120 min group ( n=102)and CPB≥120 min group ( n=22)acoording to CPB time, and were divided into systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) group, compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome (CARS) group and control group according to the changes of cytokines.The changes of cytokines, anti-inflammatory factors and pro-inflammatory factors before and after CPB and the correlation with CPB time were analyzed. Results:There were 65 boys and 59 girls with a body weight of(10.69±8.18)kg and a median age of 317(141, 975)d.After CPB, WBC(×10 9/L)(13.47 vs.8.6), NLR(4.93 vs.0.55), and CRP(mg/L)(81.35 vs.0.8) were significantly higher than those before operation( P<0.001). IL-6(pg/mL)(135.69 vs.6.86), IL-8(pg/mL)(33.33 vs.14.95), and IL-10(pg/mL)(6.05 vs.2.44)were significantly higher than those before operation( P<0.001). Compared with CPB<120 min group, IL-6(pg/mL)(211.88 vs.119.47), IL-8(pg/mL)(71.67 vs. 25.39), and IL-10(pg/mL)(7.69 vs. 4.92)in CPB≥120 min group significantly increased( P<0.001). CRP was negatively correlated with CPB time( r=-0.204, P=0.025), while IL-6( r=0.254, P=0.005), IL-8( r=0.358, P=0.001), IL-10( r=0.198, P=0.03) were positively correlated with CPB time.Twelve children(9.7%)had obvious SIRS, and four cases(3.2%)had early CARS.The mortality of CARS group was significantly higher than that of SIRS group and the control group( P=0.011). Conclusion:Il-6 , IL-8, and IL-10 are significantly increased after CPB in children with congenital heart disease.With the increase of CPB time, IL-6 and IL-8 increase significantly, and the correlation between IL-8 and CPB time is the strongest.Although the proportion of children with early postoperative CARS is small, the mortality is high, which indicates clinical surveillance and treatment need to be strengthened for anti-inflammatory response.

The poor stability of the ligustilide (LIG) makes its quantitation in Angelica sinensis (AS) difficult. This study establishes a chemical conversion method for the determination of ligustilide content in AS and proposes a national pharmacopoeia standard. Mechanical agitation and sonication of a powdered AS extract in a methanol/cyprolamine mixture facilitated the stabilization and transformation of ligustilide. Using an external reference HPLC-DAD method, the cyclopropyl-ligustilide (LIGc) content in the mixture could be determined. The content of ligustilide was greater than 1.0% based on 144 AS specimens including 68 obtained from the originally planted areas of Qinghai and Gansu Province; 55 specimens were obtained from Minxian and Weiyuan County medicine markets, and 21 specimens for which the storage period reached or exceeded 1.5 years. According to the Hong Kong Chinese materis medica standards, the content of ligustilide in AS should not be lower than 0.6%. The developed method could also be applied to the quality control of other Chinese medicinal materials (such as Ligusticum chuanxiong) or Chinese patent medicines in which ligustilide is the main component.

Objective:To determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and explore related influencing factors of sarcopenia in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:MHD patients aged ≥18 years old and receiving therapies of ≥3 months from March 2019 to December 2019 in Blood Purification Centre of Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were retrospectively enrolled in this study. General data of the patients were collected. Grip strength was measured by the Jamar dynamometer and the chair stand was measured by a chair of standard height to assess skeletal muscle strength and appendicular skeletal muscle mass was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Baseline data between MHD patients with and without myasthenia were compared. Logistic regression analysis method was used to analyze the influencing factors for sarcopenia in MHD patients.Results:A total of 125 MHD patients were enrolled, with 68 males (54.4%), age of (59.4±14.9) years and median dialysis age of 51.0(23.5, 101.0) months. Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 39 cases (31.2%). Compared with MHD patients without sarcopenia, age, tumor necrosis factor-α, von Willebrand factor (vWF) and proportion of using α ketones were higher, and serum carbondioxide combining power (CO 2CP), prealbumin, albumin and proportion of regular exercise were lower in MHD patients with sarcopenia (all P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis results showed that low CO 2CP ( OR=0.717, 95% CI 0.576-0.892, P=0.003), high vWF ( OR=1.037, 95% CI 1.016-1.058, P<0.001) and no regular exercise ( OR=0.309, 95% CI 0.118-0.810, P=0.017) were independent influencing factors of sarcopenia in MHD patients. Conclusions:The prevalence of sarcopenia in MHD patients is high. Low CO 2CP, high vWF and no regular exercise are independent influencing factors for sarcopenia in MHD patients.

To assess the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine injection for adjuvant treatment of mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children by network Meta-analysis method. We retrieved CNKI, WanFang, CBM, Cochrane Library, PubMed from the establishment to September 2018. Two reviewers independently screened out literatures, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of included studies. The data were analyzed by Stata 13.0 software. Totally 89 RCTs were included, involving 8 kinds of traditional Chinese medical injections and 8 936 patients. According to the results of network Meta-analysis, the order by the total effective rate from high to low was Huangqi Injection>Xiyanping Injection>Tanreqing Injection>Compound Danshen Injection>Reduning Injection>Yanhuning Injection>Qingkailing Injection>Xixinnao Injection; the order by cooling time from high to low was Reduning Injection> Yanhuning Injection>Qingkailing Injection>Tanreqing Injection>Huangqi Injection>Xiyanping Injection>Xiexinnao Injection>Compound Danshen Injection; the order by the cough disappeared time from high to low was Compound Danshen Injection>Qingkailing Injection>Xiyanping Injection>Huangqi Injection>Yanhuning Injection>Reduning Injection>Tanreqing Injection>Xixinnao Injection; the order by the rales disappearing time from high to low was Qingkailing Injection>Yanhuning Injection>Reduning Injection>Huangqi Injection>Tanreqing Injection>Xiyanping Injection>Xixinnao Injection. The results show that traditional Chinese medicine injection has a significant clinical efficacy in the adjuvant treatment of various symptoms of mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children. Due to the small sample size, more studies are required to verify the strength of evidence.

Objective Meningiomas in the trigone of the lateral ventricle are characterized by deep location and low inci-dence. A few studies have been done on its treatment at home and abroad. This study was to explore the access,techniques,and clini-cal effect of microsurgery for lateral ventricular trigone meningiomas (LVTM). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data about 36 cases of LVTM treated by microsurgery in our hospital from December 2011 to December 2015. The operation involved lumbar cistern tube drainage, intraoperative drainage of cerebrospinal fluid, a unilateral parieto-occipital U-shaped cut, approach through the interparietal fissure,a sagittal incision about 3 cm long at the interparietal fissure for exposure and resection of the tumor. We followed up the patients for a mean of 17 months postoperatively and analyzed the results and complications. Results Simpson grade I removal of the tumors was achieved in all the 36 cases. Postoperative complications included homonymous hemianopia in 4 cases, central nervous system infections in 3,secondary epilepsy in 2,subcutaneous hydrops in 2,and intratumoral hemorrhage in 1 (which necessitated a second operation). Extended temporal horn of the right lateral ventricle occurred at 32 months after surgery,which was treated by fistulation. Homonymous hemianopia was improved in 2 of the 4 ca-ses. All the patients were capable of daily life activities and none experienced recurrence. Conclusion Sufficient preoperative evalu-ation of the tumor characteristics,rational selection of surgical approach,and expert operation techniques are the key factors for the mi-crosurgical treatment of meningiomas in the trigone of the lateral ventricle.
