Objective:To observe the safety and efficacy of 0.01% atropine eye drops in the prevention of myopia onset in schoolchildren.Methods:A randomized double-blind controlled study was conducted.Sixty Chinese Han children (60 eyes) with binocular spherical equivalent (SE) between + 0.50 D and -0.75 D (pre-myopia) by cycloplegic autorefraction treated in The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were enrolled from July to October 2020.Aged 6-12 years old, the children were divided into 0.01% atropine group and control group according to a random number table, with 30 cases (30 eyes) in each group.The children were given one drop of 0.01% atropine or placebo eye drops in both eyes once a night.The SE, axial length (AL), accommodative amplitude and pupil diameter were compared before and after 3-month, 6-month of treatment between the two groups.Discomforts were recorded.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (No.2020-KY-286). Written informed consent was obtained from guardian of each subject.Results:After treatment, 26 and 25 subjects completed the 6-month follow-up in 0.01% atropine group and control group, respectively, among which 3 subjects in 0.01% atropine group accounting for 11.5% and 9 in control group accounting for 36.0% developed myopia, showing a statistically significant difference ( χ2=4.238, P=0.040). There were significant differences in the overall comparison of SE and AL at different time points between before and after treatment ( Ftime=10.981, 81.854; both at P<0.001). At 3 and 6 months after treatment, there were significant increases in the SE and AL of control group and AL of 0.01% atropine group compared with respective baseline values (all at P<0.05). There was no significant difference in SE at 3 and 6 months after treatment compared with baseline SE in 0.01% atropine group (both at P>0.05). At 6 months after treatment, the change in SE in 0.01% atropine group was (-0.15±0.26)D, which was significantly less than (-0.34±0.35)D in control group, and the change in AL in 0.01% atropine group was (0.17±0.11)mm, Which was significantly shorter than (0.28±0.14)mm in control group, with significant differences between them ( t=2.207, P=0.032; t=3.127, P=0.003). There were significant differences in pupil diameter at different time points between before and after treatment ( Ftime=2.263, P=0.032). At 3 and 6 months after treatment, the pupil diameter was increased in comparison with baseline in 0.01% atropine group (both at P<0.05). There were significant differences in accommodative amplitude at different time points between before and after treatment in the two groups ( Fgroup=0.882, P=0.042; Ftime=0.337, P=0.033). The accommodative amplitude at 3 and 6 months after treatment were decreased in comparison with baseline in 0.01% atropine group and control group at corresponding time points (all at P<0.05). Within a month after treatment, photophobia in bright sunlight occurred in 5 cases in 0.01% atropine group, accounting for 16.7%(5/30), and 2 cases in control group, accounting for 6.7%(2/30), showing no significant difference ( χ2=0.647, P=0.421). No near-vision blur and other uncomfortable symptoms was found in the two groups. Conclusions:After 6-month application of 0.01% atropine eye drops, the prevalence of myopia in pre-myopia schoolchildren decreases and the changing rate of SE and AL slows down.The accommodative amplitude is slightly reduced and pupil diameter is slightly increased, with no obvious effects on study and life.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic modified anatomic glenoid reconstruction with Enden-Hybinette procedure combined with loop plate fixation in the treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder combined with severe glenoid bone loss.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze 36 patients with recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder combined with severe glenoid bone loss who were admitted to 901st Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA from January 2019 to January 2021, including 28 males and 8 females, aged 18-33 years [(29.5±3.0)years]. All the patients had injury history. The dislocation frequency range was 2-40 times [(20.5±6.5)times]. Beighton scale scores were 3-9 points [(4.0±0.8)points]. All the patients underwent anatomic reconstruction of the glenoid bone with arthroscopic modified Enden-Hybinette procedure using iliac autograft and loop plate elastic fixation. Posterior glenoid version angle, the breadth of the glenoid cavity and the A-P glenoid cavity depth were measured and osseous anatomy of the reconstructed glenoid bone was evaluated. Union of the Iliac bone block and glenoid bone loss was observed and the absorption rate of the bone block was evaluated at 6 months after surgery. The shoulder stability score, functional activity score, joint range of motion score and total Rowe score of shoulder function were used to evaluate the shoulder stability, functional activity and movement before surgery, at 3, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up. The incidence of complications was observed.Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-24 months [(18.8±3.5)months]. At 1, 3, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, posterior glenoid version angle was (11.3±1.7)°, (10.6±1.2)°, (9.1±2.0)° and (9.2±1.9)° respectively; the breadth of the glenoid cavity was (34.2±1.3)mm, (33.2±1.0)mm, (32.2±1.0)mm and (31.3±1.1)mm respectively; the A-P glenoid cavity depth was (2.6±0.1)mm, (2.4±0.1)mm, (2.3±0.2)mm and (2.2±0.2)mm respectively, which were all significantly improved compared with those before surgery [(-5.9±1.0)°, (24.3±1.2)mm and (0.6±0.1)mm respectively] ( P<0.01), with no significant differences among those at different postoperative time points ( P>0.05). Bony union was observed in the iliac bone block and glenoid bone loss after bone grafting in all the patients at 6 months after surgery and the iliac bone block resorption rate was (20.5±4.1)%. At 3, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, the shoulder stability score was (41.5±6.1)points, (43.9±6.3)points and (44.7±5.0)points respectively; the functional activity score was (26.9±2.5)points, (27.1±2.5)points and (28.6±2.3)points respectively; the joint range of motion score was (13.9±1.0)points, (14.9±1.2)points and (15.8±1.5)points respectively; the total Rowe score of shoulder function was (81.4±11.5)points, (85.8±12.3)points and (86.4±9.8)points respectively, which were significantly improved compared with those before surgery [(6.1±1.5)points, (11.9±1.5)points, (8.5±1.4)points and (27.4±7.5)points respectively] ( P<0.01), with no significant differences among those at different postoperative time points ( P>0.05). At the follow-up, no complications such as incision infection, neurological injuries, implant failure of displacement, recurrent re-dislocation of the shoulder or osteoarthritis were observed. Conclusion:Arthroscopic modified anatomic glenoid reconstruction with Enden-Hybinette procedure combined with loop plate fixation in the treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder combined with severe glenoid bone loss has the advantages of better osseous anatomy of the reconstructed glenoid bone, better bony union, satisfactory shoulder stability, functional restoration, etc.
