Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(3):431-434
Objective:
To explore the relationship between visual acuity and physical fitness of university freshmen, so as to provide reference for myopia prevention and control for freshmen.
Methods:
From October to November 2022, 2 160 college freshman without majoring in public safety administration, selected from Guangxi Police College in 2022 by using the stratified cluster random sampling method, were reviewed for the results of visual acuity test and physical fitness scores. The physical fitness indices were evaluated by using the Z scores of physical fitness test scores, and the strength of association between the level of physical fitness index and myopia was analyzed by using Logistic regression model.
Results:
Among 2 160 college freshman without majoring in public safety administration, 917 (42.5%) students were diagnosed screening myopia, including 66 (3.1%) cases of high myopia, 383 (17.7%) cases of moderate myopia and 468 (21.7%) cases of mild myopia. The differences in the distribution of visual acuity tests among students with different physical fitness indices, body mass index, and gender were statistically significant ( Z/H=54.50, 49.53, 15.51, P <0.01). Low level and low middle level physical fitness indices were associated with screening myopia among freshmen[ OR (95% CI )=2.81(1.93-4.08),1.87(1.38-2.54)], and low level physical fitness indexes were associated with high myopia [ OR (95% CI )=7.22(2.33-22.32)] ( P <0.01).
Conclusions
Screening myopia among college freshman without majoring in public safety administration is related to physical fitness, and low level and low middle level physical fitness index are risk factors for myopia. Improving the level of physical fitness might be effective in preventing myopia.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy, safety and economics of the centrally procured generic versus original esomeprazole in the treatment of acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (ANVUGIB). METHODS A retrospective collection of real-world clinical data was conducted for ANVUGIB patients who received treatment at Shenzhen People’s Hospital and University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital from January 2018 to March 2024. Patients were divided into imported original drug group (original drug group, 221 cases) and centrally procured generic drug group (generic drug group, 75 cases) according to the types of drug used. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed at a ratio of 3∶1 to compare the clinical efficacy, safety and economics between the two groups. RESULTS Totally 241 patients were included after PSM, with 170 in the original drug group and 71 in the generic drug group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of rebleeding rate, rate of second endoscopic intervention, blood transfusion rate, length of hospital stay, mortality due to gastrointestinal bleeding, 30-day readmission due to rebleeding, and overall survival rate (P>0.05). The incidence of adverse events among all patients in both groups also showed no statistically significant difference (P>0.05); furthermore, the adverse events reported by the respective hospitals to the National Center for ADR Monitoring were comparable between the two groups. After PSM, the median total drug cost and high-dose esomeprazole cost in the generic drug group were significantly lower than those in the original drug group, while the median nursing fee and bed fee were significantly higher than those in the original drug group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of median total hospitalization expenses, total treatment costs, laboratory fees, examination fees, material costs, or consultation fees (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The clinical efficacy and safety of centrally procured generic esomeprazole in the treatment of ANVUGIB are comparable to those of the original drug, and it is more economical.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the implementation effects of the national centralized drug volume-based procurement policy (abbreviated as “national centralized procurement policy”) in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region prefecture, and to provide a reference for the future centralized drug procurement work of the medical institution. METHODS Drug procurement data before and after policy implementation were included in the study. The six secondary indicators (such as availability, affordability, and drug safety) and eighteen third-level indicators (such as completion rate of agreed purchase volume, affordability level, drug revenue proportion) were introduced, guided by the policy objectives and issues of concern to policy beneficiaries. Descriptive statistics was adopted to analyze the data before and after policy implementation (in 2019 and 2020) in terms of differences and change trends. RESULTS In terms of accessibility, the participation rate of medical institutions in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region was 92.55%, the proportion of diseases involved and median completed procurement rate were 40.16%, and 287.82% respectively, and the total centralized delivery rate was 97.20%. In terms of affordability, the total reduction amplitude in drug price was 74.80% from 2019 to 2022; the charge for medicine per capita in hospitalization, the proportion of medicine used for outpatient service and hospitalization, decreased by 17.61%, 10.22%, and 20.10% in order; the burden levels on medical fares for patients were all below 1 in addition to chronic diseases, and anti-tumor drugs. In terms of the impact on medicine, the ratio of adverse drug reaction event cases in 2022 was 66.00%, an increase of 1.29% compared to the previous; since the implementation of the policy, 12 drugs from local pharmaceutical enterprises from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region had passed the consistency evaluation, and the market concentration rate of the top 8 pharmaceutical companies was less than 20.00%. In terms of the impact on healthcare and medical insurance, the public medical institutions achieved generic substitution for originator drugs mostly until 2022; about 9.12% of drugs that were non- centrally purchased in the same category were used; 63.39% of people under investigation did not show a need for a second dressing change; drug expenditure decreased by 2.459 billion yuan. CONCLUSIONS The national centralized procurement policy achieves a significant effect in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. On the other hand, attention should be paid to these suggestions as follows: expanding the category of drugs used in clinic, conducting clinically comprehensive evaluation of selected drugs, and improving reasonable allocation strategy, etc.

Objective To investigate the relationship and potential pathways between metal(loid)exposure and the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)in women of childbearing age. Methods This case-control study included 200 patients with PCOS(cases)and 896 non-PCOS controls with the age of 25-37 years.The concentrations of 29 metal(loid)s in the follicular fluid(FF)and clinical indicators in the serum were measured in all participants.Logistic regression analysis and mediation analysis were conducted to evaluate the associations between metal(loid)exposure and PCOS risk and investigate the possible roles of clinical indicators,respectively. Results Logistic regression analysis revealed an association between high copper levels in FF and increased PCOS risk(highest vs.lowest quartile:adjusted odds ratio=2.94,95%confidence interval:1.83-4.72).A high luteinizing hormone/follicle-stimulating hormone ratio and elevated levels of testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH)were strongly associated with increased PCOS risk induced by high copper exposure.The mediation analysis indicated a mediating effect of AMH in the association between copper exposure and PCOS risk. Conclusion Copper may affect PCOS risk through the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis,mediated by AMH.Copper exposure and internal AMH levels are important indicators for early warning of PCOS development.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of Yifei xuanfei jiangzhuo formula (YFXF) against vascular dementia (VD). METHODS The differentially expressed genes of YFXF (YDEGs) were obtained by network pharmacology. High-risk genes were screened from YDEGs by using the nomogram model. The optimal machine learning models in generalized linear, support vector machine, extreme gradient boosting and random forest models were screened based on high-risk genes. VD model rats were established by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion, and were randomly divided into model group and YFXF group (12.18 g/kg, by the total amount of crude drugs), and sham operation group was established additionally, with 6 rats in each group. The effects of YFXF on behavior (using escape latency and times of crossing platform as indexes), histopathologic changes of cerebral cortex, and the expression of proteins related to the secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1)/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (aka Akt) signaling pathway and the mRNA expression of SPP1 in cerebral cortex of VD rats were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 6 YDEGs were obtained, among which SPP1, CCL2, HMOX1 and HSPB1 may be high-risk genes of VD. The generalized linear model based on high-risk genes had the highest prediction accuracy (area under the curve of 0.954). Compared with the model group, YFXF could significantly shorten the escape latency of VD rats, significantly increase the times of crossing platform (P<0.05); improve the pathological damage of cerebral cortex, such as neuronal shrinkage and neuronal necrosis; significantly reduce the expressions of SPP1 protein and mRNA (P<0.05), while significantly increase the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS VD high-risk genes SPP1, CCL2, HMOX1 and HSPB1 may be the important targets of YFXF. YFXF may play an anti-VD role by down-regulating the protein and mRNA expressions of SPP1 and activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Stem cell exosome therapy has shown significant potential in treating hair loss, but its safety profile has not been thoroughly studied. This paper reported a case of a 32-year-old female patient who experienced an allergic reaction following adipose-derived stem cell exosomes injection for hair loss treatment at the Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in June 2023. Within 24 hours post-injection, the patient developed swelling of the forehead and right postauricular lymph nodes, accompanied by mild pain, and left posterior ear lymph nodes 48 hours later. Ultrasound examination revealed thickening of the local soft tissue and enlarged lymph nodes. The condition was diagnosed as an injection-induced allergic reaction. The symptoms gradually subsided after combined treatment with lidocaine, 5-fluorouracil, and triamcinolone acetonide injections. During a 6-month follow-up period, the patient did not experience any recurrence of allergic reactions, and the therapeutic effects remained stable. This case report highlights the potential risk of allergic reactions associated with stem cell exosome therapy for hair loss, underscoring the need for close monitoring and timely intervention in clinical applications to ensure both safety and efficacy.

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.
