Journal of Preventive Medicine 2024;36(9):776-780
Objective:
To evaluate the effect of visual training on children with myopia, so as to provide the evidence for the intervention of children with myopia.
Methods:
Ninety myopic children aged 8 to 10 years who visited the ophthalmology outpatient department of Zhoushan Hospital in 2021 were selected, and randomly divided into a control group, an intervention group 1, and an intervention group 2, with 30 cases in each group. The control group received medical glasses prescription, the intervention group 1 received a combined intervention of medical glasses prescription and visual training, and the intervention group 2 received only visual training intervention. Basic information, best corrected visual acuity and strabismus degree were collected through questionnaire surveys. Equivalent spherical lens power, positive and negative relative accommodation, amplitude of accommodation, and accommodative facility were measured before and after 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months intervention. The intervention effects among the three groups were compared using variance analysis of repeated-measures analysis of variance.
Results:
There were no significant differences in gender, age, sleep time, parents' myopia status, outdoor activity time, best corrected visual acuity and strabismus degree among the three groups of children (all P>0.05). The results of analysis of variance for repeated measures revealed no significant differences in spherical equivalent, positive/negative relative accommodation, accommodation of amplitude, and accommodative facility among three groups of myopic children, with no interaction between groups and time (all P>0.05). Significant differences in these parameters were noted across the intervention times within each group (P<0.05). After 6 and 12 months of intervention, the spherical equivalent, positive/negative relative accommodation, amplitude of accommodation, and accommodative facility of the myopic children in the intervention group 1 and intervention group 2 were higher than those before intervention and at 1 and 3 months of intervention (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
Visual training has certain effect on myopia children. However, no differences were found in the intervention effects of medical glasses prescription alone, or when combined with visual training on myopia children.

Journal of Preventive Medicine 2024;36(9):813-816
Objective:
To analyze the trends in incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among residents in Dongcheng District, Beijing Municipality from 2007 to 2022, so as to provide the evidence for formulating targeted prevention and control measures.
Methods:
Data of the incidence of four subtypes of CVD, including acute coronary syndrome, unstable angina pectoris, acute coronary heart disease, and acute myocardial infarction, in Dongcheng District from 2007 to 2022 were collected through the Beijing Chronic Disease Management Monitoring System. The incidence rates were calculated and standardized using the data of the seventh national population census in 2020. The trends in incidence of CVD were analyzed using average annual percent change (AAPC).
Results:
A total of 177 964 cases of CVD were reported in Dongcheng District from 2007 to 2022, with a crude incidence rate of 1 144.83/105 and a standardized incidence rate of 1 141.41/105. The crude incidence rates of acute coronary syndrome, unstable angina pectoris, acute coronary heart disease and acute myocardial infarction were 434.45/105, 277.04/105, 272.87/105 and 160.47/105, respectively. The crude incidence rates of CVD and the four subtypes showed an upward trend (AAPC=4.467%, 4.576%, 5.937%, 4.070% and 2.353%, all P<0.05), with unstable angina pectoris rising more rapidly. The crude incidence rate of CVD in males was higher than that in females (1 413.08/105 vs. 884.68/105, P<0.05), and both of them showed an upward trend from 2007 to 2022 (both P<0.05), with a faster increase in males than in females (AAPC=5.552% vs. 2.905%). The crude incidence rate of CVD increased with age (P<0.05), and the crude incidence rate of acute coronary heart disease increased significantly after the age of 65 years, rising from 477.58/105 at the age of 65-<75 years to 2 888.02/105 at the age of 85 years and above.
Conclusions
The crude incidence rates of CVD and its four subtypes showed an upward trend in Dongcheng District from 2007 to 2022, with unstable angina pectoris rising more rapidly. Males and older adults are key populations for early screening and comprehensive intervention for CVD.

Abstract
Vanadium is widely used in the steel manufacturing, aerospace and medical industries because of its good plasticity and malleability, and is released into the environment in large quantities. Human were exposed mainly through environmental and occupational exposure. Vanadium and its compounds can cause multi-system damage to the reproductive, respiratory, neurological, and immune systems, and the toxic mechanisms may be related to oxidative stress, epigenetic damage, DNA damage and repair, apoptosis, and dysregulation of cell proliferation. This article summarizes the health hazards caused by vanadium exposure and its mechanism, providing the reference for the studies into the toxic effects of vanadium and its compounds.

BACKGROUND:The existed artificial anal sphincter cannot sense whether there are intestinal contents in the bowel and the state of intestinal contents, and the previous studies on the intestinal content signal did not included the different parts of colon and the signals of different intestinal content status.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the differences of ultrasound signals of different intestinal content status in different parts of New Zealand rabbits detected with transmission-type ultrasonic signal detection system.
METHODS:Twenty healthy New Zealand rabbits were used;the rabbits were divided into groups according to distal part of proximal colon, distal colon and distal rectum. Five positions of solid stool particles were selected randomly as the detection point in each group. The voltage signals of stool were measured under solid, fluid, gaseous, and deflation status of the lumen.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In rectum, there were no significant differences in voltage signals between solid and gaseous conditions, while there were significant differences between fluid and deflation conditions (P=0.000). Multiple comparison showed there were significant differences between four conditions in distal part of proximal colon and distal colon (P=0). There were significant differences in voltage singles between rectum, distal colon and proximal colon under solid and fluid conditions (P=0). Multiple comparison showed there were significant differences in any part of large bowel for solid and fluid status (P=0). There were no significant differences in voltage singles between rectum, distal colon and proximal colon under gaseous and deflation conditions. There was interactive effect of intestinal contents between three parts of large bowel under the four conditions (P=0.000). Transmission-type ultrasonic detection system can distinguish artificial intestinal contents sensory nerves of various intestinal contents. And the application of ultrasonic detection system to detect the intestinal contents under different conditions can provide a new effective method for the research on artificial intestinal content sensory nerves.
