AIM:To investigate the visual development of children under 6 years old in Wuhan, and provide evidence-based support for the formulation and optimization of regional policies for children's eye health care.METHODS:Suresight refractive screener was applied to rapid refractive status examination in 4 989 preschool children under 6 years old in Wuhan City, with results determined according to the manufacturer's age-specific referral criteria. All screened pre-school children completed vision screening and comprehensive ophthalmic examination.RESULTS: A total of 4 989 children under 6 years old were screened out, including 2 641 males and 2 348 females. They were divided into 6 groups according to age: 426 aged from 6-month to 1-year-old, 903 aged >1 to 2 years old, 1 078 aged >2 to 3 years old, 442 aged >3 to 4 years old, 808 aged >4 to 5 years old, and 1 332 aged >5 to 6 years old. The abnormal rate in the 6-month to 1-year-old group was 44.60%, in the >1 to 2 years old group was 26.02%, in the >2 to 3 years old group was 15.58%, in the >3 to 4 years old group was 10.86%, in the >4 to 5 years old group was 21.91%, in the >5 to 6 years old group was 23.27%, and the total refractive abnormal rate for children aged 6 mo to 6 years old was 22.61%. The refractive abnormal rate generally showed a decreasing trend with increasing age(P<0.001); the refractive abnormal rate in boys aged 6-month to 6 years old was 12.33%, and in girls was 10.28%, with no statistically significant difference in the abnormal rate between boys and girls(P>0.05); among children aged 6-month to 6 years old, the abnormal rate of single-eye myopia was 0.98%, of single-eye hyperopia was 5.41%, of single-eye astigmatism was 9.92%, of binocular myopia was 0.98%, of binocular hyperopia was 2.79%, and of binocular astigmatism was 8.14%; the prevalence of astigmatism in children aged 6-month to 1-year-old was 40.38%, in those aged >1 to 2 years old was 19.82%, in those aged >2 to 3 years old was 12.34%, in those aged >3 to 4 years old was 9.05%, in those aged >4 to 5 years old was 18.81%, and in those aged >5 to 6 years old was 16.89%; the prevalence of astigmatism in children aged 6-month to 6 years old was 18.06%. The abnormal rate of astigmatism in the four age groups ranging from 6-month to 4 years old decreased continuously with age(P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the abnormal rate of astigmatism between the >4 to 5 years old group and the >5 to 6 years old group(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Refractive error has become a common eye disease among preschool children. Through early vision screening, establishing a systematic refractive management file, and early intervention, the best treatment period can be seized to avoid missing it and causing adverse consequences.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation of component content with colorimetric values during the roasting process of Ziziphus jujuba ， and to provide criteria for discriminating the roasting degree of Z. jujuba . METHODS Samples were prepared by dry stir-frying for different roasting times. The eight main components in raw Z. jujuba and the samples stir-fried for different roasting times-namely adenosine， magnoflorine， jujuboside A， spinosin， 6-feruloylspinosin， betulinic acid， oleic acid， and linoleic acid-were quantitativel y analyzed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography. The chromaticity values were determined using a UV spectrophotometer. The correlation and differences between the chromaticity values of Z. jujuba at different roasting times and their components content were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis， linear regression analysis， principal component analysis （PCA） ， cluster heatmap analysis （CHA）， and partial least squares discriminant analysis （PLS-DA） to clarify the processing endpoint. RESULTS As the roasting time increased， the contents of linoleic acid and oleic acid decreased， while the contents of other components exhibited an increasing trend. Concurrently， the colorimetric value L* and E*ab were observed to decline， whereas the a* value demonstrated a gradual increase. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that L* and E*ab exhibited a significant negative correlation with the contents of adenosine， spinosin， 6-feruloylspinosin， jujuboside A， betulinic acid and magnoflorine （ P ＜0.05）. The results of linear regression analysis indicate that the content of six components, including adenosine， in the medicinal material can be preliminarily predicted by analyzing the colorimetric values of Z. jujuba powder. PCA and CHA successfully classified raw and stir-fried samples. The PLS-DA results indicated that L*， E*ab， a*， linoleic acid content， and oleic acid content were the main parameters that differentiated the color and quality of Z. jujuba at different roasting times. After frying for 9 to 10 minutes， the colorimetric values L* and E*ab decreased to their minimum values and stabilized， while a* remained consistently high with little variation；simultaneously， the concentrations of the six major components， excluding linoleic acid and oleic acid， reached their peak levels. CONCLUSIONS A significant correlation between the colorimetric values of Z. jujuba and the contents of six components， including adenosine， is confirmed. The optimal roasting time range is determined to be 9-10 minutes. Furthermore， the colorimetric value-component content correlation analysis method established in this study proved to be practical and applicable for discriminating the roasting degree of Z. jujuba .

Objective:To gain a understanding of the occurrence of cognitive impairment among residents in drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis (drinking water-borne fluorosis) areas, and to study its influencing factors.Methods:In March 2023, a cluster sampling method was used to select local residents aged 18 and above from the drinking water-borne fluorosis areas in Jishan County, Shanxi Province as survey subjects. General demographic data were collected through face-to-face surveys, and a random urine sample was collected once to determine urinary fluoride level. Cognitive function was assessed using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), and the survey subjects were divided into a cognitive impairment group ( < 27 points) and a control group (27 - 30 points) based on the MMSE scores. A multiple logistic regression model and a decision tree model based on chi-squared automatic interaction detector were constructed to analyze the factors affecting cognitive impairment, and the model fitting effect was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:A total of 3 301 subjects were included in the survey, including 2 081 females and 1 220 males. There were 1 515 subjects < 60 years old and 1 786 subjects ≥60 years old, with urinary fluoride level [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 2.92 (1.78, 4.54) mg/L. There were 1 939 cases in the cognitive impairment group and 1 362 cases in the control group, with a detection rate of 58.74% (1 939/3 301) for cognitive impairment; and the differences in gender, age, education level, marital status, annual household income, alcohol consumption, smoking distribution, and urinary fluoride level between the two groups were statistically significant ( P < 0.05). The results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that female, ≥60 years, and urinary fluoride > 4.54 mg/L were risk factors for cognitive impairment [ OR (95% CI): 1.25 (1.01, 1.54), 2.66 (2.26, 3.14), 1.32 (1.06, 1.65), P < 0.05]. Education level of primary school or above, annual household income≥12 000 yuan, and mild alcohol consumption were protective factors for cognitive impairment [ OR (95% CI): 0.15 (0.09, 0.25), 0.58 (0.48, 0.68), 0.67 (0.51, 0.87), P < 0.05]. The analysis results of the decision tree model showed that age had the greatest impact on the occurrence of cognitive impairment, followed by annual household income, education level, and urinary fluoride. The areas under the ROC curves of the multiple logistic regression and decision tree model were 0.72 and 0.70 ( P < 0.001), respectively, indicating good model fitting performance. Conclusion:The detection rate of cognitive impairment in residents of drinking water-borne fluorosis areas is relatively high, and age, annual household income, education level, and urinary fluoride are all influencing factors for occurrence of cognitive impairment.

Objective:To study the impact of fluoride exposure through drinking water on the risk of hypertension among residents in Jishan County, Shanxi Province.Methods:From March to April 2023, a cluster sampling method was used to select permanent residents aged ≥18 years and residing for ≥10 years in 12 villages in drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas of Jishan County, Shanxi Province as the survey subjects. A questionnaire survey, physical examination, and morning urinary fluoride level testing were conducted. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) regression were used to analyze the key influencing factors of hypertension. Restricted cubic spline was used to evaluate the linear relationship between urinary fluoride and hypertension. Logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of urinary fluoride on hypertension.Results:Finally, 2 453 survey subjects were included, aged (62 ± 10) years, including 1 565 patients (63.80%) with hypertension. There were significant differences in the distribution of age, gender, education level, annual household income, body mass index (BMI), and the level and distribution of urinary fluoride between hypertension group and normal blood pressure group ( P < 0.05). The Lasso regression results showed that age, education level, BMI, and urinary fluoride were the key influencing factors of hypertension, with coefficients of 1.04, - 0.12, 0.24 and 0.01, respectively. The results of the restricted cubic spline showed that there was a linear relationship between urinary fluoride and hypertension after adjusting for age, education level, and BMI ( Poverall = 0.018, Pnonlinear = 0.482). The logistic regression results showed that after adjusting for age, education level, and BMI, urinary fluoride > 4.68 mg/L was a risk factor for hypertension ( OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.10 - 1.84, P = 0.007). Conclusion:High urinary fluoride is a risk factor for hypertension in drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas of Jishan County, Shanxi Province.

Objective:To investigate the current status of fertility concerns among early-stage endometrial cancer (EC) and atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) patients with fertility preservation, and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select early-stage EC and AEH patients with fertility preservation at Peking University People's Hospital from January to December 2021 as study subjects. The study subjects were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, Chinese version of the Reproductive Concerns after Cancer Scale (RCAC), and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Pearson correlation was employed to examine the relationship between fertility concerns and social support in early-stage EC and AEH patients with fertility preservation. Single-factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to examine the factors influencing fertility concerns in early-stage EC and AEH patients with fertility preservation.Results:A total of 170 questionnaires were distributed, and 167 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 98.24% (167/170). The RCAC and SSRS scores of 167 early-stage EC and AEH patients with fertility preservation were (56.58±10.58) and (34.22±8.21), respectively. Educational level, disease type and staging, marital status, and social support were statistically significant factors influencing fertility concerns among early-stage EC and AEH patients undergoing fertility preservation ( P<0.05), explaining 32.80% of the total variance. Conclusions:Early-stage EC and AEH patients with fertility preservation exhibit high levels of fertility concerns. Clinical practice should develop individualized psychological intervention programs for patients with high education level, unmarried status, high pathological grading, and lack of social support to improve their physical and mental health.

Objective To investigate the effect of activating the N-type acetylcholine receptor(nAChR)on interleukin-18(IL-18)and PD-1 in mice with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods Sixty healthy male BALB/c mice(6 weeks of age)were divided into six groups:normal(N),normal saline control(NS),normal saline+bilateral vagectomy(NS+D),ARDS+segmentation of the vagus nerve on both sides of the neck(A+D),ARDS(A),ARDS+vagal amputation,and administration of an acetylcholine receptor agonist(A+J)groups.Each group included ten mice that were fed and housed under normal conditions.Structural changes in the right lower lung were observed using fluorescence microscopy;phosphorylated nuclear factor-KB protein 65(p-NF-κBP65)levels were assessed using Western blotting;serum IL-18 and PD-1 levels were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and the double antibody sandwich method;and the percentages of CD3+and CD25+Foxp3+T lymphocytes in the middle lobe of right lung were determined using flow cytometry.Results No inflammatory cell infiltration was observed in groups N and NS.The interstitial lobes in groups A and A+D showed severe inflammatory infiltration,thickening of the alveolar wall,destruction of the alveolar structure,and loss of the alveolar cavity.Serum IL-18 and PD-1 levels in groups A and A+D were significantly higher than those in the other four groups(P＜0.05).p-NF-κBP65 and PD-1 levels in groups A and A+D were significantly higher than those in groups N,NS,and A+J(P＜0.05).CD3+and CD25+Foxp3+T cells in groups A and A+D were significantly higher than those in the other four groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Active nAChR can inhibit IL-18 and p-NF-κBP65 through the negative regulation of T lymphocytes,decrease PD-1 expression in lung tissues,and alleviate the pathological changes of ARDS.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of hemodynamic and morphological characteristics based on four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging(4D Flow MRI)for unstable saccular intracranial aneurysms(IAs).Methods Seventy-four patients with saccular unruptured intracranial aneurysms(UIAs)who underwent 4D Flow MRI examinations were selected.Morphological and hemodynamic data of the IAs were collected and followed up.According to the follow-up results,patients were divided into stable group and unstable group.Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with the unstable group,and the diag-nostic performance of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves and the area under the curve(AUC).Results The aneurysm diameter,height,width,neck width,and aspect ratio(AR)value in the unstable group were greater than those in the stable group.The wall shear stress(WSS)at the aneurysm neck and the parent artery inflow,as well as the end diastolic velocity(EDV)at the parent artery inflow,were lower in the unstable group than those in the stable group(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the AR and WSS at the aneurysm neck were independent predictors of unstable IAs(P＜0.05).The combined model of WSS at the aneurysm neck and AR showed an AUC of 0.742[95％confidence interval(CI)0.608-0.875],repre-sented the highest diagnostic performance.Conclusion The hemodynamic characteristics quantified by 4D Flow MRI offer supple-mentary information for risk assessment of IAs.Combining hemodynamic and morphological characteristics is of significant value in identi-fying unstable saccular IAs.
