Objective: To investigate the distribution of pupil diameter and its association with myopia in school age children, providing ideas into the mechanisms of the role of pupil diameter in the onset and development of myopia. Methods: Adopting a combination of stratified cluster random sampling and convenience sampling method, 3 839 children from six schools in Shandong Province were included in September 2021. Pupil diameters distribution was analyzed by age, sex, and myopic status. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between pupil diameter and cycloplegic spherical equivalent (SE), as well as axial length (AL) and other variables. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to match myopic and non myopic children at a 1∶1 ratio based on age and sex. A generalized linear model (GLM) was constructed with pupil diameter as the dependent variable to identify independent factors influencing pupil size and its association with myopia. Results: The mean pupil diameter of school age children was (5.77±0.80)mm. Pupil diameter exhibited a significant increasing trend with age ( F =49.34， P trend ＜ 0.01). Myopic children had a significantly larger mean pupil diameter [(6.10±0.73)mm] compared to non myopic children [(5.62±0.79)mm] with a statistically significant difference( t=18.10, P <0.01). Multivariable GLM analysis, adjusted for age, amplitude of accommodation, and uncorrected visual acuity, revealed a negative correlation between pupil diameter and cycloplegic SE (before PSM: β =-0.089, after PSM: β =-0.063, both P ＜0.01). Conclusions Myopic school age children exhibite larger pupil diameters than their non myopic counterparts. Pupil diameter may serve as a potential indicator for monitoring myopia development in school age children.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and major allergens of patients with pollen-food allergy syndrome（PFAS） and their correlation with the severity of symptoms, and to provide a basis for identifying high-risk patients, optimizing the allergen testing process and developing individualized dietary management strategies. Methods:The clinical data of 166 patients with PFAS admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical symptoms, pollen types and food allergy of the patients were analyzed by questionnaire survey and serum specific IgE detection. phi coefficient, Apriori algorithm modeling and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the association between allergen and symptom severity. Results:Artemisia pollen was the most common allergen in this area, with a positive rate of 96.39%. Peach and mango were the most common food allergens, which caused allergic reactions in 24.10% and 22.89% of patients, respectively. Oral mucosal symptoms were the main symptoms. Correlation analysis showed that there was a correlation between pollen allergens and allergenic food. Association rule analysis showed that when the patient was allergic to the combination of peanuts and trees, the probability of high severity of symptoms was 82.35%. Multivariate analysis showed that ragweed allergy was significantly positively correlated with the severity of PFAS symptoms. Conclusion:Artemisia pollen and related food allergens play an important role in the pathogenesis of PFAS. Association rule mining and network map analysis revealed direct associations between peanut and tree combination allergy and symptom severity, as well as potential links between other inhaled allergens and specific food allergies. Ragweed and peach allergy are independent risk factors for the aggravation of PFAS symptoms, which can be used as early warning indicators. These results help to improve the screening of high-risk patients and the construction of regional allergen databases.

Objective To investigate the analgesic effect of combined spinal-epidural analgesia and its impact on stress levels in multiparous women during labor in a high-altitude region.Methods A total of 86 multiparous women were enrolled as study subjects.They were divided into observation group(43 cases)and control group(43 cases)based on whether they received labor analgesia.The obser-vation group received combined spinal-epidural analgesia during the first stage of labor.Pain levels[Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)],labor psychological experience[Chinese version of the Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory(CBSEI-C32)and Coping with Childbirth(CCB)],stress levels[serum cor-tisol(Cor),norepinephrine(NE)and adiponectin(APN)]as well as maternal and neonatal out-comes were compared between the two groups.Results The VAS scores during the first,second and third stages of labor were significantly lower in the observation group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The CBSEI-C32 and CCB scores at 24 hours postpartum in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The serum levels of Cor,NE and APN at 12 hours postpartum in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The incidence of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes in the observation group was 0％,which was significantly lower than 9.30％in the control group(P＜0.05).Con-clusion In high-altitude regions,combined spinal-epidural analgesia is effective in reducing labor pain,improving labor psychological experience,lowering stress levels,and reducing adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes in multiparous women.

Objectives To identify key clinical factors influencing recurrence in osteosarcoma patients,to construct and validate a Nomogram-based recurrence risk prediction model,thereby providing a quantitative tool for clinical decision-making and recurrence prevention/control.Methods Clinical data of 469 osteosarcoma patients admitted to Yunnan Cancer Hospital between 2013～2022 were retrospectively collected.Statistical analysis was performed using R software(version 4.3.2).Potential influencing factors were initially screened via univariate analysis and LASSO regression analysis.Independent predictors of osteosarcoma recurrence were then identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis.Based on the identified independent factors,a Nomogram prediction model for recurrence risk was constructed.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)was used to evaluate the model's discriminative ability.Results Among the entire cohort,68 patients experienced recurrence,yielding a recurrence rate of 14.50%.Multivariate analysis identified the following as independent predictors of recurrence:Primary Tumor Location:Tibial lesions(P=0.009)were associated with a significantly lower recurrence risk compared to femoral lesions(OR=0.297),while lesions in"Other Bones"(P=0.008)carried a significantly higher risk(OR=3.294).Biopsy Method:Needle biopsy(P=0.033)was associated with a significantly lower recurrence risk compared to open biopsy(OR=0.461).Lung Metastasis Status:Patients with lung metastasis(P<0.001)had a significantly higher recurrence risk than those without(OR=11.873).Lymphocyte Count:A higher lymphocyte count(P=0.001)was a protective factor,associated with a lower recurrence risk(OR=0.450).The constructed Nomogram prediction model demonstrated excellent performance:Validation results showed an AUC=0.842(95%CI:0.806～0.875),indicating outstanding discriminative ability.Conclusions This study successfully constructed and validated a Nomogram prediction model for osteosarcoma recurrence risk integrating key clinical factors.The model demonstrates superior discriminative ability and can accurately and quantitatively assess the recurrence risk for individual patients.This tool thus provides critical reference for guiding clinical treatment decisions.

Objective:To analyze the growth characteristics of different genotypes of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in different cell lines, and to provide scientific basis for the selection of cell lines in the study of JEV.Methods:BHK-21, Vero, C6/36, PK-15, DF-1, N2a, SH-sy5y and MDCK cell lines were selected. The proliferation ability of genotype 1 (NX1889 strain), genotype 3 (P3 strain) and genotype 5 (XZ0934 strain) JEV in these cell lines was evaluated by plaque assay and RT-qPCR.Results:Significant cytopathogenic effects (CPE) were observed in BHK-21, Vero, C6/36, DF-1, N2a and PK-15 cell lines across all three JEV genotypes. However, no significant differences in CPE characteristics were observed within the same cell line. SH-sy5y and MDCK cell lines did not show significant CPE, but virus proliferation was detected in SH-sy5y cell line, while MDCK cell line were found to be insensitive to JEV. No significant difference was observed in the proliferation curves of G1, G3 and G5 JEV in BHK-21, Vero and SH-sy5y cell lines. In C6/36 and PK-15 cell lines, the titer of G1 JEV was higher than that of G3 and G5. In DF-1 cell line, G5 demonstrated a higher titer than the other two genotypes, whereas in N2a cell line, G5 showed a lower titer than the other two.Conclusions:There are differences in the proliferation of three different genotypes of JEV in different cell lines, which can provide reference for the study of JEV in different directions.

OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between serum CC type chemotactic factor 2(CCL2),CC type chemotactic factor 18(CCL18) and clinicopathological parameters and prognosis of patients with glottic carcinoma. METHODS A total of 168 glottic carcinoma patients admitted to Handan Central Hospital and Hebei Engineering University Affiliated Hospital from August 2015 to December 2018 were selected as the research subjects. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal cut-off points for serum CCL2 and CCL18. Based on this,patients were divided into CCL2 high expression group and low expression group,CCL18 high expression group and low expression group. The relationship between levels of serum CCL2 and CCL18 and clinical pathological parameters of glottic carcinoma patients was analyzed. Kaplan-Meier curve and Log Rank x2 test were used to analyze the 5-year disease-free survival rate of serum CCL2 high/low expression group and CCL18 high/low expression group. Cox regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of glottic carcinoma prognosis,and the relationship between serum CCL2,CCL18 expression and tumor recurrence/metastasis was analyzed. RESULTS The optimal cut-off points for CCL2 and CCL18 calculated based on the ROC curve were 100.81 and 218.99 pg/ml,respectively. Compared with the low expression groups of CCL2 and CCL18,the high expression groups of CCL2 and CCL18 showed a significant increase in the proportion of T3-T4a,N1-N3 stages,and tumor low differentiation(P<0.05). Of the 168 glottic carcinoma patients,there were 160 patients followed up for 5 years and 8 patients lost for follow-up. There were 67 patients experienced recurrence or metastasis,and 39 patients died due to recurrence or metastasis. The tumor recurrence or metastasis rate was 41.88％(67/160),and the disease-free survival rate was 58.13％(93/160). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the 5-year disease-free survival rate of the high expression group of serum CCL2 and CCL18 was significantly lower than that of the low expression group of serum CCL2 and CCL18(P<0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that elevated T staging,cervical lymph node recurrence,elevated N staging,local recurrence,high expression of CCL2 and CCL18 were risk factors for poor prognosis in glottic carcinoma(P<0.05). For analysis the relationship between serum CCL2 and CCL18 expression and tumor recurrence or metastasis,it was found that when both CCL2 and CCL18 were highly expressed,the recurrence or metastasis rate was significantly higher than when both CCL2 and CCL18 were lowly expressed,CCL2 was lowly expressed and CCL18 was highly expressed,and CCL2 was highly expressed and CCL18 was lowly expressed,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=10.450,P=0.015). CONCLUSION The high expression of serum CCL2 and CCL18 in patients with glottic carcinoma is significantly correlated with T stage,N stage,tumor low differentiation,and poor prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Early infarct growth rate(EIGR) on the prognosis of patients with acute large vessel occlusive ischemic stroke.Methods:A total of 164 patients with acute large vessel occlusive ischemic stroke were enrolled in the emergency department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022.According to the change of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission and 72 h after treatment, the patients were divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group. The basic clinical data of the two groups were observed and compared. The risk factors of poor prognosis were analyzed by univariate regression. The effect of EIGR on prognosis after age stratification was further analyzed.Results:Comparing the clinical data of the two groups, there was no difference in EIGR (mL/h) (7.67 vs. 8.24, P=0.211) between the two groups. The product between EIGR and age was included as the interaction term, and the result of the interaction term in the model was statistically significant ( OR=1.002, 95% CI: 1.000-1.003, P=0.032) .Moreover, the result was still statistically significant after adjusting for relevant variables (gender, history of hypertension, history of atrial fibrillation, history of diabetes, history of coronary heart disease, and history of stroke) ( OR=1.002, 95% CI:1.000-1.003, P=0.027). Subgroup analysis was performed according to the median age (71 years). In the elderly group, the proportion of poor prognosis was higher with fast core infarction growth rate defined by 25 mL/h and 15 mL/h ( P < 0.05).In the younger age group, there was no significant difference in the proportion of poor prognosis in the fast core infarction growth rate compared with the slow type ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:EIGR can predict the early clinical outcome early in elderly patients with large vessel occlusive ischemic stroke.

Objective:To explore the clinical features of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor-associated hypophysitis and improve the understanding of the disease.Methods:For the present retrospective case series study, the clinical data of patients with PD-1 inhibitor-associated hypophysitis who were treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University and the 3rd Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2020 to May 2023 were collected for analysis of clinical manifestations and prognosis.Results:Fifteen cases of PD-1 inhibitor-induced hypophysitis were included, with 13 males and 2 females. The mean age of onset was (62.1±7.5) years, and the median time of onset was 6.5 (4.7, 11.6) cycles of PD-1 inhibitor. At diagnosis, 14 patients complained of gastrointestinal symptoms, and 12 patients complained of fatigue. There were 12, 1, 1, 5, and 1 cases of hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypoglycemia, hypotension, and fever, respectively. Secondary adrenocortical insufficiency occurred in all cases. Moreover, four patients had secondary hypothyroidism, and two patients had secondary hypogonadism. Posterior pituitary hypofunction was not found. Pituitary MRI showed one case each of vacuolar sella turcica, pituitary cystic lesion, pituitary stalk slightly shifted to the left, high metabolism in the sella turcica, and pituitary abnormal signal, while no abnormalities were found in 11 cases. The follow-up time was (47.66±11.93) weeks. At the last follow-up, one patient′s serum levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol returned to normal.Conclusions:Hypophysitis associated with PD-1 inhibitors occurs later, and gastrointestinal symptoms and fatigue are the most common clinical manifestations. PD-1 inhibitor-associated hypophysitis mainly manifests as adrenocortical hypofunction, and some cases manifest as hypothyroidism and hypogonadism. In addition, patients with PD-1 inhibitor-associated hypophysitis show no obvious imaging changes in the pituitary gland.
