To synthesize salbutamol immunogen and develop an enzyme immunoassay (ELISA), a new salbutamol immunogen was synthesized using 4-aminobenzoic acid as a linker to connect hapten with carrier protein. An enzyme immunoassay based on the antibody prepared was developed and applied to detect salbutamol residue spiked in swine liver. An unusual coating antigen, clenbuterol-ovalbumin (OVA) conjugate instead of salbutamol-OVA conjugate, was used in the immunoassay and the results were discussed based on the structures of related compounds. The antibodies showed high sensitivity in the heterologous assay when using clenbuterol-OVA as a coating antigen, with an IC50 value of 8.97 ng mL(-1) toward salbutamol. The antibodies prepared showed high cross-reactivity with clenbuterol (107%) and were promising for the simultaneous determination of salbutamol and clenbuterol residues in food and food products. Recovery rates from the salbutamol-spiked swine liver samples were in the range of 70%-99%, while the intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation were <13.3% and <14.3%, respectively. In summary, the antibodies of salbutamol have been successfully prepared. Sensitive and stable analysis for the detection of salbutamol residues in swine liver was obtained based on the competitive ELISA methods developed in this study.

Objective:To clarify the anti-inflammatory effects and anti-endoplasmic reticulum stress effects of resolvin D2 (RvD2) in viral myocarditis mice and to explore its possible mechanism.Methods:Fifty male BALB/c mice were collected and assigned corresponding numbers. Then 40 male BALB/c mice were selected randomly with 10 mice in each group. They were set as normal control group, RvD2 control group, viral myocarditis group and RvD2 treatment group. Afterwards, mice in the RvD2 control group received continuous intraperitoneal injection of RvD2 for 7 days, while mice in the viral myocarditis group received intraperitoneal injection of Coxsackievirus B3 virus (CVB3) in the purpose of constructing an animal model of viral myocarditis. Then, mice in the RvD2 treatment group were given continuous intraperitoneal injection of RvD2 for 7 days. After these 7 days, the mice of each group were sacrificed and their cardiac tissue and serum samples were taken. The expression levels of serum inflammatory factors including IL-1β and TNF-α were detected by ELISA in each group of mice, and HE staining were used to detect the inflammatory cell infiltration in myocardial tissue of each group. Meanwhile, the expression levels of inflammation-related proteins IL-1β, TNF-α as well as endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins like GRP78 and Chop in the myocardial tissue in each group of mice were detected by Western blot experiment. The remaining 10 BALB/c mice were treated with intraperitoneal injection of RvD2 as well as GPR18 protein inhibitors after constructing the animal model of viral myocarditis mentioned above. In the end, the expression levels of GPR18 protein, inflammation-related proteins including IL-1β and TNF-α as well as endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins like GRP78 and Chop in the myocardial tissue of each group were detected by Western blot experiments.Results:Compared with the normal control group, the expression levels of inflammatory factors IL-1β and TNF-α in the serum of mice with viral myocarditis were significantly increased, and the degree of infiltration of inflammatory cells in myocardial tissue was also significantly increased. Besides, the expression levels of the inflammation-related proteins IL-1β, TNF-α as well as endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins including GRP78 and Chop increased largely. While compared with the viral myocarditis group, the expression levels of serum inflammatory factors IL-1β and TNF-α in the mice of the RvD2 treatment group were significantly reduced and the degree of infiltration of inflammatory cells in the cardiac tissue was significantly reduced. Also, the expression levels of inflammation-related proteins IL-1β and TNF-α as well as endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins GRP78 and Chop were significantly reduced. After intraperitoneal injection of RvD2 and GPR18 inhibitor, in the mice treated with viral myocarditis, the expression levels of IL-1β, TNF-α and endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins like GRP78 and Chop in myocardial tissue of these mice significantly increased when it came to compare with the RvD2 treatment group, while the expression levels of GPR18 protein were significantly reduced.Conclusions:RvD2 can inhibit the inflammatory response and endoplasmic reticulum stress injury in mice with viral myocarditis by binding to the membrane protein receptor GPR18, thus exerting a protective effect on heart.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of repeated low-level red light (RLRL) therapy on controlling the progression of myopia in children.Methods:Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ClinicalTrial.gov and the CNKI, VIP, Wanfang database, and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (www.chictr.org.cn) were searched from their establishment to September 2022 to obtain the randomized controlled trial (RCT) about RLRL controlling myopia progression in children.Grey literature was also searched.Inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed according to the PICOS principle.Two researchers screened the literature independently, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies using the Cochrane collaboration tool for assessing risk of bias.The data were imported into RevMan 5.4 software for meta-analysis.Mean and standard deviation of data were used to obtain mean differences and 95% confidence intervals of included studies.Changes in spherical equivalent (SE) and axial length (AL) were compared between before and after the intervention in RLRL and single-vision spectacle (experimental group) and single-vision spectacle (control group). The GRADE system was used to grade the quality of evidence for the outcome indicators.Results:A total of 157 studies were obtained.After the screening, 7 RCT studies including 1 038 study subjects met the inclusion criteria.Meta-analysis results showed that retarded SE progression was retarded and AL elongation was reduced significantly after different follow-up durations (1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months) in experimental group compared with control group.As the follow-up duration extended from 1 month to 24 months, the retard of SE progression increased from 0.14 to 0.93 D, and the reduction of AL increased from 0.07 to 0.48 mm.Both 635 and 650 nm red light significantly retarded SE progression and reduced AL elongation.The two outcome indicators, SE change and AL change were moderate-strength evidence by GRADE.Conclusions:The current moderate-strength evidence shows that RLRL can better retard myopia progression in children than single-vision spectacle glasses.

Objective:To explore the relationship between myopic refraction and near work in children and adolescents with different genetic risks.Methods:From September to December 2016, Nankai District and Hongqiao District of Tianjin were taken as the study sites. Using the method of stratified cluster random sampling, 533 children and adolescents aged 6-14 years from one primary school and one junior middle school in each of the two districts were included as the study subjects. Refraction measurements by an auto-kerato-refractor and questionnaire survey about near work were conducted. 11 single nucleotide polymorphisms in the selected myopia susceptibility genes were detected, and the genetic risk of each individual was scored. After grouping by genetic risk score, the relationship between myopia and near work was analyzed by the multivariate logistic regression, and the relationship between near work and refraction was analyzed by the multivariate linear regression.Results:The age of 553 subjects was (9.8±2.5) years, including 295 boys (53.3%). The overall detection rate of myopia was 62.0%. The spherical equivalent refraction (SER) was (-1.30±1.85) D. The results of the multivariate logistic regression showed that in the low risk group of GRS, compared with those with continuous near work time less than half an hour, those with continuous near work time no less than half an hour had a higher risk of myopia [ OR ( 95%CI) = 2.64 (1.07, 6.52)]. In the moderate risk group of GRS, the risk of myopia increased with the increase of daily computer use [ OR ( 95%CI) = 2.14 (1.03, 4.77)]. In the high risk group of GRS, the risk of myopia increased with the increase of the total daily reading and writing time [ OR ( 95%CI) = 1.27 (1.01, 1.59)]. The results of the multivariate linear regression showed that in the low risk group of GRS, with increase of 1 hour in the total daily reading and writing time and mobile phone time, the SER decreased by 0.18 D (95% CI:-0.30, -0.07) and 0.95 D (95% CI:-1.51, -0.39), respectively. In the moderate risk group of GRS, with increase of 1 hour in the total daily reading and writing time and computer use time, the SER decreased by 0.25 D (95% CI:-0.31, -0.18) and 0.57 D (95% CI:-0.97, -0.18), respectively. In the high risk group of GRS, with increase of 1 hour in the daily total reading and writing time, the SER decreased by 0.33 D (95% CI:-0.43, -0.22). Conclusion:Continuous near work time no less than half an hour, daily computer use time, the total daily reading and writing time, and daily mobile phone use time were associated with myopic refraction in children and adolescents.

Objective:To explore the relationship between environmental factors and refractive parameters of children and adolescents aged 6 to 14 years old.Methods:A total of 566 students aged 6 to 14 years old were selected by using random cluster sampling method in Nankai District and Hongqiao District of Tianjin from September to December 2016. Questionnaires were conducted and refractive parameters were measured including axial length (AL), central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and lens thickness (LT). Vitreous chamber depth (VCD), corneal radius (CR), the ratio of axial length to corneal radius (AL/CR) and equivalent spherical diopter (SER) were calculated. Multivariate generalized linear model was used to analyze the related factors of refractive parameters.Results:The average age of the subjects was (9.8±2.5) years old, including 302 male students (53.4%). The overall SER, AL, CCT, ACD, LT, VCD, CR and AL/CR ratios were (-1.31±1.85) D, (23.67±1.16) mm, (23.67±1.16) mm, (546.60±31.98) μm, (3.06±0.27) mm, (3.48±0.21) mm, (17.12±1.13) mm, (7.78±0.25) mm and 3.04±0.14, respectively. Multivariate generalized linear model analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, height, weight, education level of parents, occupation of parents and family income, compared with those whose daily reading and writing time>6 hours, the AL and VCD of students with daily reading and writing time ≤ 2 hours, 3-4 hours or 5-6 hours were smaller, and the AL/CR ratio of students with daily reading and writing time ≤ 2 hours or 3-4 hours were also smaller (all P<0.05). Compared with those having daily sleep time>9 hours, the students with daily sleep time of 8 hours or 9 hours had higher AL, while the students with daily sleep time of 8 hours had higher CCT, and the students with daily sleep time ≤ 7 hours had higher CR (all P<0.05). Compared with those whose daily electronic screen usage time>1.5 hours, the AL, VCD and CR of students who used electronic screen ≤1.5 hours per day were lower (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Daily reading and writing time, daily electronic screen use time and daily sleep time are the main environmental factors related to eye refractive parameters.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between lifestyle and myopia and construct Nomogram model to predict myopia risk among primary school students in Tianjin, so as to provide a scientific basis for precision myopia prevention and control.
Methods:
From April to July of 2022, a census method was used to conduct vision testing and lifestyle related questionnaires among 373 180 primary school students in 15 districts of Tianjin. The relationship between lifestyle and myopia was analyzed by the multivariate Logistic regression, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed to predict myopia risk.
Results:
The detection rate of myopia among primary school students in Tianjin was 37.6%. The results of the multivariate Logistic regression showed that daily outdoor activity time of 1-2 h ( OR =0.94) and >2 h ( OR =0.84), time of using daily electronic devices of >2 h ( OR =1.03), daily paper materials reading and writing time of 1-2 h ( OR =1.02) and >2 h ( OR =1.09), weekly fresh vegetable intake of 2-6 times ( OR =0.93) and ≥7 times ( OR =0.88) were statistically correlated with myopia ( P <0.01). The Nomogram prediction model showed that the factors associated with myopia were grade, family history of myopia, gender, daily outdoor activity time, weekly frequency of fresh vegetable intake, daily paper materials reading and writing time, and time of using daily electronic devices time.
Conclusions
The lifestyle of primary school students in Tianjin is associated with myopia. The constructed nomogram model could provide a scientific basis for identifying key intervention populations for myopia prevention and taking targeted prevention and control measures.
