AIM: To construct an assessment model for the risk of myopia in preschool children and evaluate its clinical value.METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of preschool children who established refractive profiles in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2024. The eye with lower refractive error was selected. The right eye was chosen in cases where the refractive error of both eyes was identical. The data were divided into a training set(n=385)and a validation set(n=165)in a 7∶3 ratio. The data of the children were collected in detail, and the children's spherical equivalent(SE)was used as the dependent variable. The multiple linear regression model was used to screen the indicators that affected the biological indicators related to myopia in preschool children.Subsequently, the children in the training set were divided into a myopia group and a normal vision group based on whether myopia occurred(SE≤-0.50 D can be diagnosed as myopia according to refractive power assessment). Subsequently, the influencing factors selected by the multiple linear regression model were included as predictive variables, and a risk assessment equation was constructed using Logistic regression. The discrimination, calibration and clinical application value of the assessment model were verified through the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test and decision curve.RESULTS: This study included 550 preschool children(550 eyes). The training set comprised 385 children(385 eyes; 190 boys and 195 girls), and the validation set comprised 165 children(165 eyes; 82 boys and 83 girls). Among the children in the training set, the myopia group included 34 children(34 eyes; 16 boys and 18 girls), and the non-myopic group included 351 children(351 eyes; 174 boys and 177 girls). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the ratio of axial length(AL)to corneal curvature radius(CR), subfoveal choroidal thickness(SFCT), anterior chamber depth(ACD), age, parental myopia history, and outdoor activity time were risk factors for myopia in preschool children(all P<0.05). Based on the above risk factors, a Logistic regression risk assessment model was constructed, and the evaluation model Logit(P)was obtained as 0.894×AL/CR-1.312×SFCT+1.182×ACD+2.063×age+0.763×parental myopia history-5.868. The effectiveness of the myopia risk assessment model for preschool children based on the training set was evaluated. The results showed that the area under the ROC curve(AUC)was 0.939(95%CI: 0.912-0.965), the H-L test was χ2=1.487, P=0.993, and the decision curve indicated that within the threshold range of 0.03-0.81 and 0.89-0.97, the net return rate was greater than 0. This suggested that the model had good discrimination, calibration, and clinical application value in evaluating the myopia risk and actual risk of preschool children. Internal validation was conducted in an independent validation set, and the results showed that the AUC of the ROC curve was 0.967(95%CI: 0.919-1.000), the H-L test was χ2=3.818, P=0.873, and the decision curve indicated that within the threshold range of 0.01-0.99, the net return rate was greater than 0, further suggesting that the model assessment had good consistency with the actual risk.CONCLUSION: Age, parental history of myopia, AL/CR, SFCT, and ACD are risk factors for myopia in preschool children. The Logistic regression risk assessment model constructed based on these factors has high evaluation value and can effectively evaluate the probability of myopia occurrence in individuals, providing reference for individualized prevention of myopia risk in preschool children.

Objective:To evaluate the training efficacy of the autonomic nervous system stability assessing and enhancing capsule (hereinafter referred to as the EC), and to study the difference in physiological indicators for autonomic nervous system stability training between the EC and a non-capsule environment.Methods:A total of 1 478 male military pilots under autonomic nervous system stability training between February 2022 and February 2024 were selected before they completed training sessions in both the EC and a non-capsule environment. The pre-training time-domain and frequency-domain indices of heart rate variability (HRV) and the 0.1 Hz index were compared with the post-training ones, and across difficulty levels (low, moderate, and high). The difference that the EC made in relaxation training was analyzed.Results:①Time-domain indices of HRV were of statistical significance in the main effects of training difficulty, those of training environments, and their interactions ( F=4.40-160.80, all P<0.05 or 0.01). Simple effect analysis revealed that in the same phase of training the standard deviation of all NN intervals (SDNN) at the low level of difficulty in the EC was lower than in the non-capsule environment. However, all time-domain indices after training were higher in the EC than in the non-capsule environment. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05 or 0.01).②For frequency-domain HRV indices, significant differences were observed in both the main effect of training difficulty and the interactions ( F=4.40-1 524.33, all P<0.01). Very low frequency power (VLF), high frequency (HF), the ratio of low frequency to high frequency (LF/HF), normalized low frequency (LFnorm), and normalized high frequency (HFnorm) were significantly different in the main effect of training environments ( F=4.24, 12.00, 6.91, 23.39, 23.39, P=0.040, <0.001, =0.009, <0.001, <0.001). Simple effect analysis revealed that at the same level of training difficulty, the EC delivered significantly lower values of LF and LFnorm but higher values of HF and HFnorm than the non-capsule environment before training (all P<0.05). VLF across levels of training difficulty and LF/HF at the high level of difficulty level were significantly lower in the EC than in the non-capsule environment. After training, total power, VLF, LF, HF, and HFnorm were significantly higher in the EC than in the non-capsule environment, but LF/HF and LFnorm were significantly lower (all P<0.05). ③For the 0.1 Hz index, significant differences were observed in both the main effect of training difficulty and the interactions ( F=2 147.75, 6.63, both P<0.001). Subsequent simple effect analysis revealed that at the same level of training difficulty, 0.1 Hz indices of pilots in the EC were lower than in the non-capsule environment before and after training (all P<0.01). Conclusions:During the autonomic nervous system stability training, the EC can effectively and quickly regulate and alleviate pilots′ fatigue and stress. Furthermore, it provides sustained autonomic nervous system training, thereby stabilizing pilots′ autonomic nervous system.

Objective:To verify the applicability of the flight potential evaluation system in the psychological selection of pilots by testing the reliability and validity of the system.Methods:Between September and October 2021, 82 subjects, including 32 pilots and 50 volunteers, were recruited from the Aviation Force and the Air Force Medical Center to complete the flight potential evaluation system test. The pilots and volunteers were divided into the high score group (the top 27% in terms of scores) and low score group (the 27% from the bottom) according to the total score of the evaluation. In order to ensure the consistency of evaluation conditions, some subjects were selected to complete a second evaluation test one week later for reliability analysis. Six flight experts completed the Content Evaluation Form of the Flight Potential Evaluation System while the officer completed the Flight Performance Evaluation Questionnaire as the performance data of the pilots. The pass rates of the pilots and volunteers and discriminability of the flight potential evaluation system were analyzed to test the stability and effectiveness of the system.Results:①The flight potential evaluation system demonstrated a pass rate of 0.75 and a discriminability of 0.30 in pilots, compared with 0.30 and 0.51 in volunteers. The total scores of pilots and volunteers were (7.00±1.16) points and (3.38±2.15) points, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( t=9.87, P<0.001). Significant differences were found in test scores between high-score group and low-score group for both pilots ( t=10.01, P<0.001) and volunteers ( Z=-4.65, P<0.001). ②Thirty-seven subjects (including 32 pilots and 5 volunteers, all from the Aviation Force) were tested twice, and the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient for the paired results of 2 identical tests was r=0.750 ( P<0.001). ③As for the content of the evaluation system test, the experts′ degree of agreement and unanimity rate were 1. The evaluation score by the officer was positively correlated with the test score ( r=0.389, P=0.041). Conclusions:The flight potential evaluation system has a strong ability to distinguish flight-related abilities, suggesting that the system can be applied to the psychological selection of pilots and provide data for subsequent tests during the recruitment of candidates.

Objective:To investigate the protocol and clinical efficacy of hair follicle-bearing microskin (HF-MS) transplantation in the treatment of hypertrophic scars.Methods:Prospective randomized controlled trial. From January to November 2024, patients with hypertrophic scars were recruited from the Medical Cosmetic Center of Affiliated Hangzhou First People’s Hospital with Westlake University School of Medicine and the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of Ningbo Sixth Hospital. Patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group using a random number table. In the observation group, 1.0 mm punch decompression was performed on the hypertrophic scar area, followed by implantation of HF-MS extracted from the scalp donor site using follicular unit excision (FUE) into the decompression pores. The control group underwent only 1.0 mm punch decompression. Vancouver scar scale (VSS) scores (total score 0-15, higher scores indicating more severe scarring) were assessed preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Efficacy at 6 months, improvement in hypertrophic scar area, hair survival rate (observation group), adverse reactions, and patients’ satisfaction rates were evaluated. Categorical data were expressed as frequency (%) and analyzed using chi-square tests; normally distributed measurement data were expressed as Mean ± SD and analyzed using independent samples t-tests. Results:A total of 50 patients were included (25 per group), with 22 males and 28 females, aged 18-60 years (mean age: 33 years). The effective rate was 92% (23/25) in the observation group and 68% (17/25) in the control group, showing a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Preoperative VSS scores did not differ significantly between the observation and control groups [(6.67±3.19) vs. (7.12±2.89), P>0.05]. At 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively, the observation group had VSS scores of (5.48±2.60), (4.64±2.39), and (3.80±2.10), respectively, compared to (6.36±2.53), (5.84±2.28), and (5.32±2.09) in the control group. The 6-month postoperative VSS scores differed significantly between groups ( P<0.05). Preoperative hypertrophic scar areas showed no significant difference [(5.75±2.83) cm 2 vs. (6.91±3.31) cm 2,P>0.05]. At 6 months postoperatively, the observation group had significantly smaller scar areas than the control group [(3.15±1.55) cm 2 vs. (5.37±2.93) cm 2,P<0.01]. The average hair survival rate in the observation group was 41% at 6 months. Adverse reactions occurred in 3 cases in the observation group (2 skin indurations, 1 hyperpigmentation) and 7 cases in the control group (4 hyperpigmentation, 2 skin atrophy, 1 skin induration). The observation group had a significantly lower adverse reaction rate [12% (3/25) vs. 28% (7/25), P<0.05]. Patient satisfaction rates were 88% (22/25) in the observation group and 64% (16/25) in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:HF-MS transplantation demonstrates definitive clinical efficacy in treating hypertrophic scars, effectively improving scar morphology, clinical symptoms, and patient quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of microneedling combined with topical 5% minoxidil tincture in the treatment of male androgenetic alopecia (AGA).Methods:This study was a prospective study. Male patients with newly diagnosed androgenetic alopecia at the Medical Cosmetic Center, Affiliated Hangzhou First People’s Hospital Westlake University School of Medicine, from April 2022 to April 2024 were selected. Age and BASP score were used as matching variables, and every 3 cases were matched as a group. In the study group, 1.0 mm microneedle combined with topical 5% minoxidil tincture was used for 2-3 times of acupuncture operation in the hair loss area, and then about 1 ml of 5% minoxidil tincture was applied to the scalp to promote absorption. From the second day, about 1 ml of 5% minoxidil tincture was evenly sprayed on the hair roots of the scalp in the hair loss area and massaged until absorption, once in the morning and evening every day. Control group 1 was evenly sprayed with 5% minoxidil tincture on the hair roots of the alopecia area, once a day in the morning and evening, about 1 ml each time. Patients in control group 2 received oral finasteride 1 mg once daily. The three groups were treated for 13 weeks, and adverse reactions were recorded during the treatment. Before and immediately after 13 weeks of treatment, the final hair density, velus hair density, hair follicle density, hair shaft average diameter, single hair follicle density and double hair follicle density of the three groups were measured by dermoscopy. Paired sample t-test was used for statistical analysis. After 13 weeks of treatment, the above measurement indexes of study group, control group 1 and control group 2 were analyzed by LSD multiple comparison method. Results:A total of 99 male patients were enrolled, with 33 in the study group [mean age: (31.6 ± 5.8) years, range: 18-45], 33 in control group 1[mean age: (31.7 ± 5.6) years, range: 20-44], and 33 in control group 2 [mean age: (32.2 ± 5.4 )years, range: 19-45].In the study group, three patients experienced transient pain in the treated areas during and after microneedling, which resolved spontaneously within two hours. Two patients developed scalp flaking three days post-treatment, which improved with increased washing frequency and targeted shampoo selection. No significant adverse reactions were observed in control groups 1 and 2.After 13 weeks of treatment, significant increases were observed in the study group compared to baseline for terminal hair density [(104.5 ± 29.6) hairs/cm 2 vs. (72.5 ± 27.9) hairs/cm 2], mean hair shaft diameter [(53.6 ± 11.4) μm vs. (45.7 ± 12.9) μm], follicular unit density [(71.4 ± 18.5) units/cm 2 vs. (57.8 ± 17.4) units/cm 2], and single-hair follicular unit density [(46.7 ± 11.1) units/cm 2 vs. (31.4 ± 12.3) units/cm 2], all with statistically significant differences ( P < 0.05). Control group 1 also showed significant increases in terminal hair density [(87.3 ± 24.5) hairs/cm 2 vs. (70.7 ± 26.0) hairs/cm 2], vellus hair density [(55.3 ± 13.9) hairs/cm 2 vs. (30.2 ± 8.8) hairs/cm 2], follicular unit density [(58.9 ± 17.1) units/cm 2 vs. (52.6 ± 15.5) units/cm 2], mean hair shaft diameter [(52.8 ± 15.7) μm vs. (50.1 ± 16.0) μm], and single-hair follicular unit density [(40.1 ± 11.1) units/cm 2 vs. (34.2 ± 12.0) units/cm 2], all with statistically significant differences ( P < 0.05).Control group 2 showed significant improvements in terminal hair density [(106.3 ± 22.5) hairs/cm 2 vs. (73.7 ± 26.9) hairs/cm 2], follicular unit density [(68.4 ± 18.1) units/cm 2 vs. (53.7 ± 15.4) units/cm 2], mean hair shaft diameter [(57.9 ± 16.2) μm vs. (50.6 ± 15.7) μm], single-hair follicular unit density [(48.1 ± 11.5) units/cm 2 vs. (34.2 ± 12.6) units/cm 2], and double-hair follicular unit density [(23.5 ± 6.4) units/cm 2 vs. (17.2 ± 6.8) units/cm 2], all with statistically significant differences ( P < 0.05). When comparing post-treatment outcomes, the study group exhibited significantly higher terminal hair density, vellus hair density, mean hair shaft diameter, follicular unit density, and single-hair follicular unit density than control group 1, while vellus hair density was significantly lower ( P < 0.05). The study group and control group 2 showed no statistically significant differences in most parameters except for double-hair follicular unit density, which was significantly lower in the study group ( P< 0.05). Conclusion:Microneedling combined with topical 5% minoxidil tincture is an effective treatment for male androgenetic alopecia, demonstrating significant improvements in hair density, follicular unit density, and hair shaft thickness.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of infraorbital rim drilling midface lift combined with composite lower blepharoplasty.Methods:Retrospective analysis of clinical data from the patients who underwent combined midface lift and lower blepharoplasty at Department of Medical Cosmetic Center, Affiliated Hangzhou First People’s Hospital, Westlake University School of Medical, between January 2022 and February 2024.The infraorbital rim drilling midface lift combined with lower blepharoplasty was performed via a subciliary incision approach. Through a subciliary incision, the herniated orbital fat was excised, followed by fixation of the orbital septum to the infraorbital rim periosteum. Drill holes were created at the medial and lateral infraorbital rim, and arcuate suspension of the midface was performed using 2-0 absorbable sutures (SXPP1A405). Postoperative follow-up assessed midface lifting outcomes and complication rates. The wrinkle severity rating scale (WSRS) was used to grade nasolabial folds pre- and postoperatively (5-point scale: higher scores indicating more pronounced folds). Patient-reported outcomes were assessed using the Face-Q questionnaire, evaluating: (1) overall facial satisfaction, (2) satisfaction with surgical results, and (3) satisfaction with decision (scale 0-100; higher scores indicating greater satisfaction/less decisional regret). Descriptive statistical methods were employed for data analysis.Results:A total of 43 patients were enrolled, comprising 7 males and 36 females, with a mean age of (50.6±12.2) years (range: 32-73 years). Postoperative follow-up averaged (11.9±4.6)months. All patients demonstrated significant improvement in lower eyelid bags, tear trough deformity, midface elevation, and nasolabial folds. Surgical complications included: residual lower eyelid fat ( n=5), intermittent fixation point pain persisting >1 month ( n=4), mild residual tear trough deformity ( n=4), and hematoma ( n=1). Nasolabial fold WSRS scores decreased from ( 3.7±0.9 ) points to(2.9±0.6)points following surgery. In 38 patients, Face-Q scores demonstrated high satisfaction levels: appearance-related satisfaction scored (80.9 ± 10.3)points and satisfaction with decision scored (82.4 ± 8.9)points, indicating favorable patient-reported outcomes. Conclusion:The infraorbital rim drilling-assisted midface lift combined with comprehensive lower blepharoplasty effectively corrects midface ptosis while addressing lower eyelid bags. This technique provides reliable fixation points through drilling, resulting in stable and long-lasting lifting outcomes with high patient satisfaction.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of hair follicle-bearing microskin transplantation as a novel therapeutic approach for subacute wounds.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted from June to October 2024, involving patients with subacute wounds treated in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Hand Microsurgery at Ningbo No.6 Hospital, and the Medical Aesthetics Center at Hangzhou First People’s Hospital. Participants were randomly assigned via a random number table into two groups: the observation group received hair follicle-bearing microskin transplantation, while the control group received conventional treatment including debridement, dressing changes, antimicrobial therapy, and local pressure relief. The observation endpoint was set at 6 weeks post-treatment. Outcome measures included time to complete wound healing, wound healing score (comprising five items: wound area, appearance, exudate, signs of infection, and condition of surrounding skin; total score 0-15, with a higher score indicating poorer healing), donor site recovery, adverse reactions, and patient satisfaction [rated on a 4-level scale: very satisfied, satisfied, basically satisfied, dissatisfied; satisfaction rate was calculated as (very satisfied + satisfied) cases/total cases×100%]. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 software, with continuous variables expressed as Mean±SD and compared via t-test; enumeration data were expressed as cases (relative numbers) and analyzed using Fisher’s exact test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Sixteen patients were enrolled (8 per group), including 12 males and 4 females, with a mean age of 46 years (range: 41-71). No significant differences in baseline characteristics (gender, age, wound duration, and wound area) were observed between the two groups (all P>0.05). All procedures in the observation group were completed successfully without intraoperative or short-term postoperative complications. The donor site area was (28.2±11.8) cm 2 (9.0-50.0 cm 2). All wounds in the observation group healed completely within 2-5 weeks post-treatment, with a mean healing time of (26.2±5.0) d. The donor sites healed within two weeks, leaving only pinpoint scars. In contrast, only 4 cases in the control group achieved complete healing within the observation period (6 weeks post-treatment), with a mean healing time of (33.2±5.7) d. The other 4 patients showed no tendency to heal at 6 weeks and progressed to chronic wounds. Before treatment, no significant difference in wound healing scores was found between the two groups (9.6±2.6 vs. 9.1±2.0, t=0.43, P=0.676). At 6 weeks post-treatment, the observation group showed significantly lower wound healing scores than the control group (1.2±1.5 vs. 7.9±3.9, t=-4.48, P=0.001). At 6 weeks post-treatment, patient satisfaction in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (8/8 vs. 4/8, P=0.006). Conclusion:Hair follicle-bearing microskin transplantation demonstrates significant clinical advantages in treating subacute wounds, including accelerated healing, improved aesthetic outcomes, minimal donor site morbidity, and rapid recovery.
