Objective:To establish a prediction method of diopter based on sequence of ocular biological parameters.Methods:A stratified random cluster sampling method was used to extract the dataset. The dataset consisted of data collected from January 2022 to January 2023 by the Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University, from children aged 5 to 13 years in 2 key schools and 2 general schools of Yangpu District, Shanghai. Children’s ocular biological parameters, including sex, age, diopter, axial length, corneal curvature, and anterior chamber depth were collected. The slope of the optimally fitted straight line was calculated using the least squares method. The least square-back propagation (BP) neural network model was established by combining baseline data and the pre-processed rate of the change of ocular biological parameters. The dataset was divided into the training set and the validation set according to the ratio of 8:2 for five-fold cross-validation. The model performance was evaluated by using the mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), correlation coefficient R, and coefficient of determination R2. Results:The optimal performances of R2, R, RMSE, MAE, and MSE of the least square-BP neural network model were 0.96, 0.981 9, 0.214 2, 0.139 9 D, 0.045 9, respectively. The regression equation between the predicted value and the true value of the diopter was y=0.97 x+ 0.014 8, R2=0.97, with good correlation. In the internal verification, MAE values of the diopter at three, six, nine, and twelve months of follow-up were 0.110 1, 0.136 0, 0.153 7, and 0.184 8 D, respectively, which achieved clinically acceptable performance (less than 0.25 D). In the external validation, the errors were less than 0.25 D at all ages. Conclusions:A prediction method of diopter based on sequence of ocular biological parameters was successfully developed.

Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes and biomechanical characteristics of 1-, 2-, and 3-level pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO), and establish selection criteria based on preoperative radiographic parameters. Methods: Patients undergone PSO to treat ankylosing spondylitis from February 2009 to May 2019 in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were enrolled. According to the quantity of osteotomy performed, the participants were divided into group A (1-level PSO, n = 24), group B (2-level PSO, n = 19), and group C (3-level PSO, n = 11). Clinical outcomes were assessed before surgery and at the final follow-up. Comparisons of the radiographic parameters and quality-of-life indicators were performed among and within these groups, and the selection criteria were established by regression. Finite element analysis was conducted to compare the biomechanical characteristics of the spine treated with different quantity of osteotomies under different working conditions. Results: Three-level PSO improved the sagittal parameters more significantly, but resulted in longer operative time and greater blood loss (p < 0.05). Greater stress was found in the proximal screws and proximal junction area of the vertebra in the model simulating 1-level PSO. Larger stress of screws and vertebra was observed at the distal end in the model simulating 3-level PSO. Conclusion Multilevel PSO works better for larger deformity correction than single-level PSO by allowing greater sagittal parameter correction and obtaining a better distribution of stress in the hardware construct, although with longer operation time and greater blood loss. Three-level osteotomy is recommended for the patients with preoperative of global kyphosis > 85.95°, T1 pelvic angle > 62.3°, sagittal vertical alignment > 299.55 mm, and pelvic tilt+ chin-brow vertical angle > 109.6°.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of different body obesity measures for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. The present study was a case-control study involving 553 subjects who underwent physical examination from January to April 2022. The subjects were divided into NAFLD group ( n=321 cases) and control group ( n=232 cases) according to abdominal ultrasound imaging parameters. All subjects completed a general information questionnaire, liver ultrasound examination, serum biochemical indices and physical measurements. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the correlation between human obesity measures (neck circumference, triceps skinfold thickness (TSF),body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, lipid accumulation index (LAP), visceral fat index (VAI), body roundness index (BRI) and a body shape index (ABSI)) and NAFLD. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the predictive value of single and combined measures of obesity for NAFLD. Results:The subjects were stratified by gender, and the quartile levels of BMI, neck circumference, TSF, waist-to-hip ratio, LAP, VAI and BRI were all correlated with NAFLD in both male and female (all P<0.05). After further adjustment for confounding factors, compared with those in group Q 1, group Q 4 of the above-mentioned indexes still had higher odds ratios ( P<0.05). The AUC value of LAP in predicting NAFLD was the largest in both men and women, which was 0.836(0.788-0.876) and 0.885(0.839-0.921), and the cut-off value was 41.93 and 33.27, respectively. There was no significant difference in AUC of ROC predicting NAFLD among LAP, BRI and BMI ( P>0.05). The AUC of ABSI in predicting NAFLD was less than 0.7(namely 0.584(0.525-0.641) and 0.679(0.618-0.735) in men and women, respectively), which indicated poor predictive performance for NAFLD. In the pairwise combination index, the AUC of ROC predicting NAFLD with TSF+LAP in male was the largest, which was 0.864(0.819-0.901), and there was statistical significance when compared with BRI (AUC=0.818(0.769-0.860)) and BMI (AUC=0.816(0.767-0.858)) ( P<0.05), but there was no statistical significance when compared with LAP (AUC=0.836(0.788-0.876)) ( P>0.05). The AUC of ROC predicting NAFLD with VAI+LAP in women was the largest, it was 0.894(0.849-0.928), there was statistical significance when compared with BMI (AUC=0.849(0.799-0.890)) ( P<0.05), but there was no statistical significance when compared with LAP (AUC=0.885(0.839-0.921)) and BRI (AUC=0.870(0.822-0.908)) ( P>0.05). Conclusion:BMI, neck circumference, TSF, waist-to-hip ratio, LAP, VAI and BRI all have good predictive value for NAFLD.

Objective: To understand the status quo and influencing factors of overweight and obesity in preschool children, and to provide scientific theoretical reference for the prevention and control of overweight and obesity in preschool children in Urumqi. Methods: Stratified cluster sampling method was adopted to select 1 897 preschool children from 10 kindergartens in Urumqi from October to December in 2021 to understand the status quo of overweight and obesity of preschool children by measuring their height and weight. The influencing factors were collected by questionnaire survey, including Chinese preschoolers eating behavior questionnaire, Chinese preschooler s caregivers feeding behavior scale, 3-6 year old children s home nurture environment scale, and characteristics and influencing factors of physical activity among preschool children. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in preschool children was 31.21% (592), including 19.50% (370) overweight and 11.70% (222) obesity.Childhood overweight and obesity detection rates varied significantly by age, sex, child dietary habits, father BMI, maternal BMI, and maternal pre pregnancy BMI ( χ 2=19.63,28.75,9.45,18.21,18.45,19.36, P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, children s eating habits, paternal BMI, pregnancy BMI, satiety responsiveness, external eating, initiative eating, weight concerns, behavior restricted feeding, physical activity and family physical activity environment were the influencing factors of overweight and obesity in preschool children( OR =0.52,1.43,1.51,1.44,0.69,0.74,1.35,1.71,0.81,0.96,1.10, P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Overweight and obesity in preschool children are popular in Urumqi. Education, diet control and scientific exercise should be strengthened to prevent childhood overweight and obesity.

Ganoderma lingzhi is widely recognized as a medicinal basidiomycetes. Triterpene acids (TAs) are the key bioactive medicinal components of G. lingzhi. Our previous studies have shown that phospholipid acid (PA) produced by phospholipase D (PLD) plays a regulatory role in TA synthesis. In order to further elucidate the molecular mechanism how PA regulates TA synthesis in G. lingzhi, PA beads enrichment combined with LC-MS/MS technology was used to identify PA interacting proteins in G. lingzhi. A total of 19 PA interacting proteins were identified, including cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (GL22084), specific protein kinase MAPK (GL23765), catalase and cell surface hydrophobicity-associated protein. GST tagged GL22084 and GL23765 proteins were obtained through gene cloning, heterologous expression, and purification. The interactions between GL22084/GL23765 and PA were verified by GST pull down assay. The identification of PA interacting proteins provides a basis for further understanding the molecular mechanism how PLD-mediated PA signaling molecules regulates the TA synthesis in G. lingzhi. Moreover, the PA interacting proteins identified in this study can also provide clues for the research of PLD/PA signaling pathway in other species.

Macrophages play a crucial role in inflammatory, proliferative and reconstructive phases in wound healing. A dysfunction of macrophage could lead to a delay of healing. As the most common type of chronic wounds, the diabetic wound may ultimately result in a delayed or failed wound healing due to a high glucose microenvironment and abnormal metabolic environment. Such abnormal metabolic environment may lead to the aberrant macrophage polarization, abnormal secretion of cytokines and aberrant phagocytic function hence cause prolonged inflammation with excessive oxidative stress reaction. As the consequence, the inflammatory phase in diabetic wound is lengthy while the proliferative and reconstructive phases are usually delayed. The diabetic wound may result in enormous financial burden to patients, the healthcare and the society. This study briefly reviewed the recent research progresses at home and abroad, and analysed and summarized the roles of the dysfunction of macrophage polarization, secretion and phagocytosis in the process of diabetic wound healing.
