According to the onset age, a total of 5 674 outpatients with gout admitted in the affiliated hospital of Qingdao University from January 2011 to January 2016 were divided into youth group (≤44 years, n=3 058), middle age group (45~64 years, n=2 101), and elderly group (≥65 years, n=515).Their clinical and biochemical characteristics were analyzed.The results showed that the proportion of gout in the males in three groups was higher than that in the females.The proportions of gout in male youth, middle age, and elderly groups were 98.1%, 93.4%, and 83.1%, respectively.The proportion of gout in females increased with age.The proportion of gout family history in youth group was higher than that in middle age and elderly groups(P<0.05).The proportions of hypertension and impaired fasting glucose(IFG) in elderly group were higher than those in youth and middle age groups (P<0.05), with lower proportions of hypertriglyceride and obesity (P<0.05).The levels of systolic blood pressure, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine in elderly group were increased compared with youth and middle age groups (P<0.05) while the levels of uric acid and triglyceride were decreased (P<0.05), with higher ratio of renal dysfunction (P<0.05).There were no differences in tophus and kidney calculi among three groups (P>0.05).The distributions of the onset joint among three groups revealed statistical difference(P<0.05), but the first plantar toe joint was mostly involved in each group.These results suggest that the clinical characteristics of patients with gout at different onset ages are not identical, should be treated differently.

Objective: To explore the related factors of myopia among children and adolescents in Yunnan Province, and to predict and evaluate the influencing factors, so as to provide a scientific theoretical basis for the prevention and control of myopia. Methods: From March 9 to 14, 2023, 848 students from 6 primary and secondary schools in Dali and Lijiang of Yunnan Province were selected by multi stage stratified random cluster sampling method for visual acuity detection and questionnaire survey on myopia related factors. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to establish a Nomogram prediction model for the selected influencing factors. Results: The overall myopia rate of the respondents was 68.3%, the myopia rate of boys (63.4%) was lower than that of girls (72.9%), and the myopia rate of primary school students (46.7%) was lower than that of junior high school students (81.1%), and the difference was statistically significant（ χ 2=8.71, 108.07, P <0.05). Daily eye exercises, activities outside the teaching building during recess, having daily sleep time of 7-9 and >9 h, having both parents without myopia were negatively correlated with the occurrence of myopia in children and adolescents in Yunnan Province ( OR=0.64, 0.63, 0.56, 0.28, 0.48, P < 0.05 ). The reading and writing time after school ≥3 h per day and parents unrestricted time to play video games were positively correlated with myopia ( OR=1.94, 1.78, P <0.05). Based on the influencing factors, a Nomogram prediction model was established to quantitatively evaluate the risk of myopia. The results showed that greater risk for myopia was associated with sleep duration, parental history of myopia, and the time spent reading and writing after school every day. Conclusion Both genetic factors and environmental factors are related to myopia in children and adolescents. The prediction model of nomogram is beneficial for screening high risk factors of myopia and taking corresponding prevention and treatment measures.

ObjectiveTo study the changes of body composition indexes reflecting muscle condition for stroke hemiplegic patients after isokinetic strength training. MethodsFrom January, 2021 to April, 2022, 30 stroke inpatients with hemiplegia in Beichen Hospital of Nankai University were randomly divided into control group (n = 15) and isokinetic group (n = 15). Both groups accepted routine rehabilitation training, while the isokinetic group accepted isokinetic strength training of shoulder and elbow on the affected side in addition. All patients were tested the lean body mass, affected upper arm muscle circumference, affected upper limb muscle mass, edema index, skeletal muscle index before, and two weeks and four weeks after training. ResultsCompared with the control group, the edema index decreased in isokinetic group after training (t > 2.536, P < 0.05); the affected upper limb muscle mass increased more in the isokinetic group four weeks after training (t = -2.750, P = 0.010). ConclusionIsokinetic training can reduce edema and muscular disuse atrophy of the affected side for stroke patients with hemiplegia.
