Objective To study the association between statins use and liver-injury through prescription sequence symmetry analysis (PSSA) and evaluate the feasibility of the method to be used in Chinese Medical Insurance Database.Methods The data of the patients who prescribed both statins and liver-proactive drugs in Chinese Basic Medical Insurance Database in 2013 were selected as study subjects to calculate the adjusted sequence ratio (ASR) with signal detection methods to determine the study parameters and investigate the potential association between statins use and liver-injury.Results In 5 649 individuals which met the inclusion criteria,the washout period was set as one month and interval period was set as 60 days.The overall ASR of statins was 1.471(95%CI:1.395-1.550),the ASR of atorvastatin was 1.419 (95%CI:1.335-1.508),the ASR of simvastatin was 1.307 (95%CI:1.164-1.467).The positive signal was strong in 30 days interval period.Conclusions PSSA indicated that there might be potential association between statins use and liver-injury,especially the uses of atorvastatin and simvastatin.This signal detection method may be a fast and effective method in drug safety evaluation and can be used in Chinese Medical Insurance Database.

Objective:
To explore the effectiveness of spinal guidance exercise on adolescents of mild idiopathic scoliosis, so as to provide an experimental reference and method for promoting adolescents spinal health.
Methods:
From the scoliosis screening, 96 children who met the diagnostic criteria were selected in June 2021, and were divided into the experimental group and the control group, with 48 cases in each group. The experimental group received a 12 week Longji Daoyin exercise training, and the control group received health education, observation and monitoring. Before and after the experiment, the axial trunk rotation (ATR) and scoliosis Cobb angle of the two groups were tested respectively, and the subjective sensation of the patients was measured by Scoliosis Research Society-22(SRS-22) questionnaire.
Results:
After 12 weeks, the ATR and Cobb angles of the experimental group decreased [( 5.02± 2.85,7.59±3.94)°],compared to (7.08±2.84)° and (15.84±2.00)° before intervention( t =14.02, 17.09, P < 0.01 ). Scores of functional activity, self image and mental health in the SRS-22 score increased from (4.65±0.14)(3.49±0.21) and (3.99±0.17) to(4.77±0.14)(4.62±0.13)(4.42±0.13)( t =-4.86,-39.12,-13.92, P <0.01 ). The ATR and Cobb angles of the control group increased from (6.94±2.15)° and (15.82±1.76)° to (8.25±2.49)° and (18.63±3.12)°( t =7.44,8.99, P <0.01), and the scores of self image and mental health in the SRS-22 score decreased from (3.49±0.19) and (4.00±0.15) to (3.44±0.18) and (3.94±0.14)( t =-3.74,-4.39, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Early adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is easy to aggravate during the observation period. Longji Daoyin exercise is of preventive and therapeutic significance.

Objective:To investigate the effect of clinical factors on the short-term prognosis of patients with acute carbon monoxide toxic heart disease.Methods:From October 2017 to December 2019, 92 patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP) and toxic heart disease admitted to the Department of Emergency of our hospital were enrolled in this study. The duration from poisoning to hospital admission, duration of coma, length of hospital stay, endotracheal intubation or not, admission to ICU ward or not, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHEⅡscore) at admission were recorded. The heart rate-corrected QT dispersion (QTcd) calculated based on electrocardiography results, as well as levels of serum trocalin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) were recorded at admission, day 2, day 3, and hospital discharge. According to the diagnostic criteria of occupational cute toxic cardiopathy caused by chemicals, the patients were divided into three groups: 45 cases in the mild heart disease group (mild group), 35 cases in the moderate heart disease group (moderate group) and 12 cases in the severe heart disease group (severe group). The variables data of each group were presented as Mean±SD, and analyzed using one-way anova test. LSD- t test was used for pairwise comparison between the groups. Attributes data were compared using χ 2 comparisontest, and correlations were analyzed using Spearman correlation method and binary logistic regression analysis. Results:APACHE II score was significantly higher, and the durations of coma, and hospitalization time of severe heart disease group were significantly higher longer in the severe heart disease group than those ofin the mild and moderate groups, and the proportions of patients with early tracheal intubation to protect airway and admission in ICU ward were both significantly lower in the severe heart disease group than those ofin the mild and moderate moderate groups (all P < 0.05). The levels of CTnI and QTcd in each group increased immediately after admission, which was statistically different from that in the normal control group ( P < 0.05), while cTnI and QTcd at admission in the severe group were significantly higher than those in the mild and moderateother two groups ( P < 0.05). The levels of CK-MB in the severe group wereas significantly different from thoseat of the mild to and moderate groups at day 2 and day 3 after admission ( P < 0.05). The correlation between serum cTnI and APACHE II score at admission was R1 = 1.000 and R2 = 0.458. The correlation between QTcd and APACHE II score at admission was R1 = 1.000 and R2 = 0.765. Both of them were positively correlationsed with statistical difference ( P < 0.01). Conclusions:Patients with ACOP should admit to hospital as early as possible. For patients with severe hypoxia and no airway protection ability, an artificial airway should be established as soon as possible, and the patients should admit to the ICU at the early stage of poisoning to stabilize their condition. Changes of QTcd, serum cTnI, CK-MB and other related indicators should be monitored to detect cardiac injury in time and protect heart.

From September 2021 to December 2021, 281 mypoic patients of 281 eyes treated in Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University at Hangzhou were included in this study, and the right eye was used as the treated eye. There were 135 eyes in 135 males and 146 eyes in 146 females. The age was 28.18±5.78 years. The spherical equivalent refraction (SE) was -5.13±2.33 D. The patients were divided into three groups: low myopia group (group A, -3.00 D
