AIM: To observe the clinical outcomes of Phorcides analytic engine-assisted topography-guided personalized laser assisted in situ keratomileusis(LASIK)for the treatment of myopia and astigmatism in virgin eyes with the refractive astigmatism significantly deviating from corneal topography.METHODS: Retrospective clinical study. A total of 32 cases(42 eyes)with myopia and astigmatism that received corneal topography-guided personalized LASIK in the Ophthalmology Refractive Surgery Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from December 2019 to March 2021 were selected. The uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA), best corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA), refractive state and aberrations before and at 6 mo after surgery were recorded.RESULTS: There were 15 males and 17 females, with an age of 23.00(18.00, 29.25)years old; preoperative sphere was -5.75(-6.25, -4.00)D, and cylinder was -0.75(-1.38, -0.25)D. At 6 mo postoperatively, the UDVA exceeded the preoperative CDVA in 19 eyes(45%). The spherical equivalent(SEQ)of all eyes(100%)was -0.50 to +0.50 D at 6 mo postoperatively, and the postoperative SEQ of 23 eyes(55%)was -0.13 to +0.13 D. There were 33 eyes(79%)had a postoperative astigmatism ≤ 0.25 D, the target-induced astigmatism(TIA)was 0.94±0.96 D, and the surgically induced astigmatism(SIA)was 0.94±0.86 D, with no statistical significance between TIA and SIA(P>0.05). The astigmatism axial deviation ranged from -5° to +5° in 33 eyes(79%)at 6 mo postoperatively. Compared to pre-operation, the total higher-order aberrations and spherical aberrations within the central 6 mm diameter of the anterior corneal surface increased at 6 mo postoperatively(Z=-3.778, P<0.001; Z=-4.929, P<0.001); the postoperative coma aberrations had no change(Z=-1.763, P=0.078); the postoperative trefoil aberrations decreased(Z=-2.490, P=0.013). Compared to pre-operation, the Strehl ratio of the anterior corneal surface increased significantly at 6 mo after surgeries(t=-5.401, P=0.013).CONCLUSION: Using the Phorcides analytic engine to assist topography-guided personalized LASIK for the treatment of myopia and astigmatism in virgin eyes with the refractive astigmatism significantly deviating from topography-measured astigmatism can achieve good therapeutic effects. Postoperative UDVA exceeded preoperative CDVA in nearly half of the eyes, and the quality of postoperative corneal imaging was improved.

AIM: To assess the consistency of the new anterior segment analyzer, MS-39, the Sirius and Pentacam in measuring corneal white-to-white(WTW)and central anterior chamber depth(ACD), and to compare their differences in guiding implantable collamer lens(ICL)size selection.METHODS: Retrospective case study. A total of 210 consecutive patients(420 eyes)who treated at the Ophthalmology Refractive Surgery Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between September 2019 and September 2020 were enrolled. Three anterior segment analysis systems, MS-39, Sirius, and Pentacam, were utilized to assess the WTW and ACD, with comparative analysis of the results. The sizing of the ICL V4c was simulated using the method recommended by the STAAR company. Data correlation and consistency were evaluated.RESULTS: The WTW measurement results obtained from MS-39, Sirius, and Pentacam were 11.39±0.35, 11.42±0.36, and 11.46±0.35 mm, respectively. Notably, the WTW measurement value from MS-39 was significantly lower than that from Pentacam(P=0.002), while no statistically significant differences were observed between MS-39 and Sirius, or between Sirius and Pentacam(all P>0.05). The WTW measurements from the three devices exhibited a strong positive correlation, with correlation coefficients(r)of 0.942 between MS-39 and Sirius, 0.925 between MS-39 and Pentacam, and 0.882 between Sirius and Pentacam(all P<0.0001). The ACD measurements values from the MS-39, Sirius and Pentacam were 3.28±0.22, 3.28±0.24, and 3.21±0.23 mm, respectively. While, no statistically significant difference was found between MS-39 and Sirius(P>0.05), both measurements were significantly higher than that of Pentacam(both P<0.0001). The ACD measurements also demonstrated a strong positive correlation, with r values of 0.959 between MS-39 and Sirius, 0.947 between MS-39 and Pentacam, and 0.932 between Sirius and Pentacam(all P<0.0001). In terms of ICL size selection based on the measurements from the three devices, the 12.6 mm size was the most frequently selected, while the 13.7 mm size was the least common, the distribution of size selections across the devices was similar.CONCLUSION: MS-39 demonstrated strong positive correlation with both Sirius and Pentacam for WTW and ACD measurements, indicating that the results can be considered clinically interchangeable. Furthermore, the outcomes derived from MS-39 for ICL size selection were closely aligned with those from Sirius and Pentacam, suggesting its clinical feasibility.

Objective·To analyze the neurodevelopmental outcomes of children after end-to-side anastomosis for coarctation of the aorta(CoA).Methods·The surgical and neurological follow-up data were collected from children who underwent end-to-side anastomosis for CoA at Shanghai Children's Medical Center,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 1,2017 to December 31,2021.Neurological assessments included magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and Griffiths Mental Development Scale assessments.Neurodevelopmental outcomes were evaluated using Griffiths Mental Development Scale.Clinical characteristics were compared between patients with normal and abnormal MRI and Griffiths Mental Development Scale results to assess the correlation between the two assessments and their association with cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB)use and CPB modality.Results·Twenty-seven children with isolated CoA or CoA combined with simple intracardiac anomalies were included.MRI results were available for 25 cases,with 5 showing abnormalities(20.0%).Griffiths Mental Development Scale results were available for 26 cases,with 21(80.77%)showing abnormal scores,including 18 in hearing and language,and 12 in performance.No significant correlation was found between abnormal MRI or Griffiths Mental Development Scale results and the use of CPB(P=0.341,P=1.000).Among patients who underwent CPB,those in the moderate hypothermia group accounted for the majority of cases without neurological abnormalities,with proportions of 80.00%(MRI)and 100.00%(Griffiths Mental Development Scale).Conclusion·Children undergone end-to-side anastomosis for CoA are at relatively high risk for neurodevelopmental abnormalities,particularly in hearing-language and performance domains.CPB may not be a direct risk factor for poor neurodevelopmental outcome,and moderate hypothermia during CPB may be neuroprotective.

Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)exerts integrative effects on complex diseases owing to the char-acteristics of multiple components with multiple targets.However,the syndrome-based system of diagnosis and treatment in TCM can easily lead to bias because of varying medication preferences among physicians,which has been a major challenge in the global acceptance and application of TCM.Therefore,a standardized TCM prescription system needs to be explored to promote its clinical application.In this study,we first developed a gradient weighted disease-target-herbal ingredient-herb network to aid TCM formulation.We tested its efficacy against intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH).First,the top 100 ICH targets in the GeneCards database were screened according to their relevance scores.Then,SymMap and Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology(TCMSP)databases were applied to find out the target-related ingredients and ingredient-containing herbs,respectively.The relevance of the resulting ingredients and herbs to ICH was determined by adding the relevance scores of the corresponding targets.The top five ICH therapeutic herbs were combined to form a tailored TCM prescriptions.The absorbed components in the serum were detected.In a mouse model of ICH,the new prescription exerted multifaceted effects,including improved neurological function,as well as attenuated neuronal damage,cell apoptosis,vascular leakage,and neuroinflammation.These effects matched well with the core pathological changes in ICH.The multi-targets-directed gradient-weighting strategy presents a promising avenue for tailoring precise,multipronged,unbiased,and standardized TCM prescriptions for complex diseases.This study provides a paradigm for advanced achievements-driven modern innovation in TCM concepts.

Objective:To study the risk and pattern of deaths caused by various diseases in the population and in the case of long-term occupational X-ray exposure.Methods:Using a combination of retrospective and prospective cohort research methods, an exposure group of medical X-ray diagnostic workers who worked in the radiology department of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital between 1950 and 1980 and a control group of medical workers from other departments who did not work with radiolog during the same period in the same hospital were selected to form a study cohort. The cumulative number of person years of observation in the cohort during 1950-2011 was calculated, and the Cox regression model was used to calculate the risk of deaths of medical X-ray diagnostic workers for various diseases through adjusting sex, attained age, birth age, and starting working age.Results:A total of 6 953 follow-up visits was completed to the cohort, including 3 649 in the radiation group and 3 304 in the control group, with a total of 347 362 person years of observation. There were 2 099 deaths in the cohort as of December 31, 2021. Cox regression results showed that diseases with a significantly higher risk of death in the radiation group compared with the control group were: all-cancer ( RR=1.20, 95% CI: 1.04-1.39, Z=2.56, P<0.05, including lung cancer RR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.17-1.98, Z=3.10, P<0.01, and pancreatic cancer RR=1.96, 95% CI: 1.11-3.46, Z=2.31, P<0.05); diseases of the circulatory system ( RR=1.29, 95% CI: 1.06-1.57, Z=2.58, P<0.01); endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases ( RR=1.90, 95% CI: 1.06-3.42, Z=2.14, P<0.05). Stratified analyses showed that, of male workers, the radiation group had an increased risk of death caused by all-cancer and lung cancer ( Z=3.50, 2.92, P<0.01); of the age group at starting ages 26 to 30, the radiation group had an increased risk of death distributed to circulatory diseases ( Z=2.06, P<0.05); and in the age group at attained ages elder than 61 years, the radiation group had an increased risk of death distributed to all cancers, lung cancer, and circulatory diseases ( Z=2.90-4.31, P<0.01). Conclusions:As has been shown, threre is an increasing risk of death distributed to lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and circulatory diseases in medical X-ray diagnostic workers in Jiangsu province. Further in-depth research in related areas may be conducted in the future.

Objective:To investigate the effects of long-term X-ray radiation exposure on the tumor risk of medical X-ray workers in Jiangsu province, and to provide a scientific basis for the development of occupational protection policies and the improvement of workers′ health.Methods:By using a combination of retrospective and prospective cohort research method, the medical diagnostic X-ray workers who worked in the radiology department of all hospitals in Jiangsu province between 1950 and 1980 were selected as the radiology group.In the meantime medical personnel in internal medicine, otorhinolaryngology, pediatrics and other medical departments who had not been engaged in radiology during the same period of time at the same hospital were selected as the control group to form a survey cohort. The cumulative number of person-years of observation of the cohort during 1950-2011 was calculated, and the relative risk of various malignant tumors among medical X-ray workers was calculated by using Cox regression model after adjusting for sex, attained age, year of birth, and year of work initiation.Results:A total of 6 954 follow-ups was completed for the cohort, including 3 649 in the irradiation group and 3 305 in the control group, totally 340 483 person-years of observation. As of December 31, 2021, there were 1 328 patients with malignant tumors in this cohort. Cox regression result showed that compared with the control group, the irradiation group who had developed lung cancer ( RR=1.60, 95% CI 1.24-2.08), lymphoma ( RR =4.28, 95% CI 1.54-11.93), solid cancer ( RR =1.17, 95% CI 1.04-1.31), and total cancer ( RR =1.29, 95% CI 1.14-1.46) had significantly higher relative risks ( Z=3.56, 2.78, 2.71, 3.96, P<0.05). Stratified analyses showed that the risks of lung, lymphoma, solid and total cancers were higher in the radiation group than in the control group for males and for those who arrived at the age of 61 years or older ( χ2=6.70-33.86, P<0.05). The risks of lung, solid and total cancers were higher in the radiation group than in the control group for those who started to work in the age group of 21 to 25 years ( χ2=6.46, 6.16, 5.62, P<0.05). Conclusions:The relative risks of lung, lymphoma, solid and total cancers among medical X-ray workers in Jiangsu province are significantly higher, suggesting that attention should be paid to strengthening radiation protection for radiation workers in their radiological practices.

Objective:To understand the health status,influencing factors and spatial distribution of the Chinese floating population and to evaluate the health equity of the floating population.Methods:All the data were collected from the 2017 Migrant Population Dynamic Monitoring Survey in China,binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors that might affect the health of the floating population,and the concentration index method was used to evaluate the health equity of the floating population.Spa-tial autocorrelation analyses the spatial aggregation of health status and health equity.Results:The un-healthy rate of the floating population in China was 2.71％.Age and gender show a statistically signifi-cant impact on self-rated health;that is,as age increases,the self-rated health of the migrant population gradually deteriorates,and women are more likely to think that they are unhealthy.Fairness analysis shows that the concentration index of the floating population is 0.021 7,the urban household registration floating population is 0.021 6,and the rural household registration floating population is 0.021 9.It is shown that the fairness of the health status of the floating population is biased towards the high-income class,and the rural household registration floating population's health unfairness is greater than that of the urban household registration migration population.Moreover,Moran's i=0.211 for self-rated health and Moran's i=0.291 for the unhealthy rate indicate that self-rated health has a spatial aggregation trend.Moran's i=0.136 showed the characteristics of spatial clustering,and the two-week prevalence fairness of the floating population was mainly in the northern and southeastern coastal areas.Conclusion:In general,the health status of the floating population in China is relatively good.The main influencing factors of health included gender and age.The central tendency of health inequity is reflected in the south-east coastal and northern regions,which are characterized by poverty.Attention to spatial aggregation is not only helpful to analyze the reasons of floating population,but also to study the health differences between different regions and health-related factors,to improve the overall health level of the whole population.
