How did the character "eye" evolve in traditional Chinese culture? Through each stroke and painting, students carefully appreciate the beauty of Chinese characters. On the occasion of the National "Eye Care Day" Promotion and Education Week in 2023, the "Flying, Bright Little Angels - Youth Myopia Prevention and Control Activity" organized by Zhoupu Hospital and Youth Activity Center in Pudong New Area kicked off today. This activity is guided by the District Civilization Office, District Health Commission, District Education Bureau, and the Medical Science Popularization Branch of Shanghai Medical Doctor Association.

Due to the physiological development characteristics of children's eyeballs, heavy academic burden on students, the increasing popularity of electronic reading products and games, and the failure to cultivate scientific and good eye hygiene habits, myopia is becoming increasingly common in primary and secondary school students, posing serious challenges to the visual health of children and adolescents. In order to promote the implementation of the "four party responsibility" for myopia prevention and control by the government, schools, families, and society, the "Bright Little Angel Passport" compiled by the Eye Health Center of Shanghai Health Medical College was first issued during the event. A small passport with illustrations and text, integrating eye health knowledge, activity check-in, health data recording, and other content, making every child and adolescent the owner of their own health, doing a good job in myopia prevention and control, further promoting the action of the whole society, and jointly caring for children's eyes.

Ma Xiaoyun, Director of Ophthalmology at Zhoupu Hospital and Director of Ophthalmology at Shanghai Health Medical College, delivered a science popularization lecture on "Q&A for myopia prevention and control in primary school students", sharing with teachers, students, and parents how to avoid the misconceptions of using eye care. Ma Xiaoyun introduced that currently, the key to preventing and controlling myopia in children and adolescents has been moved to kindergartens. "If parents are informed by kindergarten teachers that their children may have vision problems, they should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and intervene as soon as possible. At the same time, parents should also pay special attention to identifying methods in the treatment of their children's myopia, and use some so-called" folk remedies "from institutions with caution." He still remembers that during a screening during the epidemic, 36 out of over 10000 kindergarten children were found to be highly myopic, and myopia prevention and control work is urgent.

"Love your eyes" requires "heart", and children also need "attention" when using their eyes. During the activity, the entire audience followed the teacher to perform cheery music and sang "Love Eyes Song". They flew freely, basked in the sunshine, and engaged in outdoor activities for 2 hours every day, which is the most effective and economical method for myopia prevention and control. The children also picked up paintbrushes and created a "Myopia Prevention and Control" themed scroll. They checked in and played games with the "Bright Little Angel Passport" to learn knowledge, showcase their talents, clean the windows of their hearts, and protect their bright "eyes". On site, a parent asked if the child's eyes were tired and if they had closed their eyes and rested for a while? Ma Xiaoyun explained, "You must look far. The eyeball is like a camera, and to take a clear photo, you must pull the lens to move it back and forth, so that the focus is correctly placed on the film. When focusing, the muscles of the eye are like a spring. When looking up, the spring is in a contracting state. If the contraction time is long, the eyes will be tired and need to rest. If you close your eyes and do not look far, the focus will not move back to the retina, and you will still be in a nearsighted state, which will affect the sensitivity and amplitude of adjustment."

Today, Xu Mei, Vice President of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Calligraphy and Painting Academy, Deputy Director of the Youth Committee of the Shanghai Calligraphers Association, and specially invited expert of "Calligraphers Entering the Campus", also came to the scene to explain the evolution of the "eye" character to children, from oracle bone script to seal script, clerical script, regular script, and cursive script. While increasing knowledge, she also remembered the importance of correct reading and writing posture. "When reading, writing, and drawing, you should sit upright and not tilt your head or body. Keep your eyes at the same level and 'take photos' together towards objects in order to take clear photos."

"If a child brushes questions recklessly in order to get a 100% score, they may have more than 100 degrees of myopia in elementary school. How do you choose between 100 and 100 degrees?" This topic is a realistic "choice" that many student families face today. The person in charge of the district health commission stated that in order to promote the construction of suitable technology pilot areas for myopia prevention and control in children and adolescents, Pudong New Area will deeply tap into the advantages of combining medical and educational methods, introduce professional physicians, and assist in campus myopia prevention and control. Over the past two years, the "Pudong New Area Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents" lecture group, composed of 25 ophthalmologists at the city level, has been deeply rooted in the Pudong campus, conducting extensive science popularization lectures to teachers, students, and parents.

Why is "Cancer King" immunotherapy ineffective? Fudan Cancer Hospital Reveals New Mechanisms of Immunosuppressive Environment for pancreatic cancer CRIP1 | Tumor | pancreatic cancer
Why is "Cancer King" immunotherapy ineffective? Fudan Cancer Hospital Reveals New Mechanisms of Immunosuppressive Environment for pancreatic cancer CRIP1 | Tumor | pancreatic cancer

Immunotherapy has been proven to achieve significant therapeutic effects in various solid tumors. However, for pancreatic cancer, known as the "king of cancer", immunotherapy has been ineffective. On August 4, Professor Yu Xianjun, Dean of the Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, and Shi Si, Associate Professor of Pancreatic Surgery released a research achievement, which first found the key role of cysteine rich protein 1 in shaping the immunosuppressive microenvironment of pancreatic cancer, filled the gap in the research field of immunosuppressive microenvironment of pancreatic cancer, and provided a theoretical basis for precise immunotherapy of pancreatic cancer patients. Ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is the main type of pancreatic cancer, accounting for about 90% of all pancreatic cancer. Due to its high malignancy and poor treatment effectiveness, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has always been one of the most malignant tumors. In recent years, the level of surgical techniques and comprehensive treatment has been achieved

A 14-year-old girl has been experiencing symptoms such as protruding pupils, incomplete eye closure, corneal injury, restricted eye movement, and overall fatigue for several years. The physical discomfort and facial abnormalities caused by eye diseases have made her increasingly reticent, and her temperament is vastly different from before. At the Ophthalmology Department of the Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, the pupil has been diagnosed with a rare thyroid ophthalmopathy combined with myasthenia gravis, which requires prompt treatment. However, considering the young age of the pupil, conventional hormone and radiation therapy cannot be used. Therefore, Zhou Huifang, Deputy Director of Ophthalmology and thyroid ophthalmology expert, has developed a targeted drug combined with surgical treatment plan for it, and targeted drug treatment will be performed first. Three months ago, I was hospitalized for one week with mydriasis and received intravenous targeted drug treatment. Afterwards, I went home for observation and followed up on time

Recently, Catherine, a British girl born in the 1990s, received autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transfusion at the Cancer Center of Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital, and was successfully discharged from the warehouse. She is now on her way back to China after being discharged from the hospital. She is also the first patient at Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital to complete relevant treatments. In 2019, Catherine was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in the UK, and after treatment, the disease completely improved. During her work and life in China in 2021, she went to seek medical attention due to multiple enlarged lymph nodes. Pathological biopsy confirmed a recurrence of Hodgkin's lymphoma, and through combined targeted drug treatment, her condition was temporarily under control. Last year in the second half of the year, when the disease recurred, the girl began to use immunotherapy combined with targeted drugs for treatment. Expert evaluation suggests that for young patients with hematological tumors, the risk of recurrence is high and treatment difficulty is increasing in the future. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell therapy is recommended
