Objective To validate the efficacy of the prediction model for difficulty of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) through an independent cohort. Methods A total of 617 patients with achalasia who underwent POEM at the Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from January 2021 to December 2023 were included. The general data of patients were collected, and the predictive value of the prediction model for POEM difficulty in the validation cohort was estimated. The stratified analysis was undergone according to the difficulty risk scores. Results In 617 consecutive patients, technical difficulty was observed in 90 cases (14.6%). The predictive model demonstrated moderate discriminatory capacity with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.711 (95%CI 0.643-0.780). Patients were stratified into three risk categories according to the difficulty risk scores: low-risk (<0.1), medium-risk (0.1-0.25), and high-risk (≥0.25). The corresponding technical difficulty rates were 7.3%, 16.9%, and 51.6%, respectively. Conclusion The prediction model for POEM difficulty built by our center shows good stability and discrimination, and has good clinical application value.

The incidence of myopia among Chinese adolescents is progressively rising, indicating a distinct trend toward younger age onset.This paper aims to comprehensively review the impact of various visual performance on myopia and its progression, with a specific emphasis on accommodative function, convergence function, and ocular position. A meticulous exploration of accommodation function, encompassing accommodative amplitude, accommodative facility, accommodative response, positive relative accommodation, and negative relative accommodation, has been undertaken to elucidate its contributory role in myopia progression. Concurrently, an exhaustive analysis of convergence function has been conducted including esotropia and exotropia, convergence insufficiency and convergence excess, fusional function vergence, divergence insufficiency, and excess, providing a nuanced understanding of convergence's implications for myopia advancement. Furthermore, the influence of ocular position on myopia progression, along with other factors affecting perceptual ocular position and intermittent exotropia, is discussed. The primary objective of this article is to unveil the multifaceted visual performance influencing myopia and its progression, elucidating the paramount significance of accommodative function, convergence function, and ocular position in this context.

Objective:To investigate the value of cystatin C (Cys-C) in the early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) after radical nephrectomy and the predictive value for the prognosis of Cys-C based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR Cys-C) after surgery. Methods:The clinical data of 118 patients who underwent unilateral radical nephrectomy in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the diagnostic criteria of AKI, they were divided into AKI group of 75 cases and no-AKI group of 43 cases. AKI group was (62.7±10.7) years old, with 49 males and 26 females. The no-AKI group was (62.3±12.8) years old, with 21 males and 22 females. The urea nitrogen was (4.9±1.3) mmol/L, creatinine (75.7±14.5)μmol/L, Cys-C (0.85±0.22) mg/L, eGFR Cr(76.3±11.2)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and eGFR Cys-C(101.4±17.4)ml/(min·1.73m 2)in AKI group before operation.In no-AKI group, preoperative urea nitrogen was (4.9±1.5) mmol/L, creatinine (74.5±13.1)μmol/L, Cys-C (0.81±0.29) mg/L, eGFR Cr(78.6±12.5)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and eGFR Cys-C(99.3±18.8)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and there were no significant differences in the values of urea nitrogen, creatinine, Cys-C and eGFR between the two groups before surgery ( P>0.05). ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of urea nitrogen, creatinine, Cys-C, eGFR calculated based on creatinine and Cys-C at 48h after surgery, and binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for AKI. The creatinine status of patients diagnosed with SPS was evaluated 6 months after surgery, based on the definition of Cys-C based eGFR being less than 70% of creatinine-based eGFR(SPS=eGFR Cys-C/ eGFR Cr≤0.7). Results:In AKI group, creatinine was(115.2±22.1)μumol/L, Cys-C (1.8±0.27) mg/L, eGFR Cr (51.6±9.6)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and eGFR Cys-C(43.4±8.5)ml/(min·1.73m 2)48 h after operation. The creatinine was(92.7±13.3)μmol/L, Cys-C(1.3±0.23) mg/L, eGFR Cr(62.2±11.3)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and eGFR Cys-C(61.5±9.5)ml/(min·1.73m 2) in no-AKI group, and difference were statistically significant between the two groups ( P<0.01). ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnosis of AKI. Creatinine, Cys-C, eGFR Cr and eGFR Cys-Cwere all of diagnostic value for AKI (all P<0.01), and AUC(Area under curve) were 0.809, 0.889, 0.761 and 0.925 respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve of eGFR Cys-C were 93.3%, 74.4% and 92.5% respectively. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that creatinine( OR=10.851, 95% CI 2.322-50.688, P=0.004), Cys-C( OR=10.016, 95% CI 2.306-43.362, P=0.001), eGFR Cr( OR=17.923, 95%CI 3.216-53.172, P=0.001) and eGFR Cys-C( OR=19.817, 95% CI 3.367-55.263, P=0.001)were all independent risk factors for AKI. The predictive accuracy of eGFR Cys-C, creatinine, Cys-C, eGFR Cr were 91.6%, 85.7%, 90.2%, 88.5%, respectively. There were 15 cases were confirmed SPS in the AKI group, and only 2 cases were confirmed SPS in the no-AKI group, indicating patients in the AKI group developed more SPS than those in the no-AKI group, with statistically significant difference(Kappa value was 5.22, P=0.02). The 6-month follow-up showed that the creatinine of confirmed SPS was (103.8±23.4)μmol/L and the creatinine of unconfirmed SPS was (86.8±27.2)μmol/L, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.01). Conclusions:eGFR Cys-C calculated based on Cys-C has high sensitivity in diagnosing AKI and has early diagnostic value. Patients diagnosed with SPS based on eGFR Cys-C had higher creatinine 6 months after surgery.

Birth cohort is an important platform to study the effect of early-life exposure on health outcome, but large cohorts to investigate the effect of preconception exposure, especially paternal exposure, on reproductive health and birth outcome are limited. The Preconception Reproductive Health and Birth Outcome Cohort (PREBIC) is a prospective birth cohort study which pays equal attention to the contribution of environmental, psychological, behavioral as well as other factors to reproductive health and adverse birth outcomes in both men and women in Chongqing, China. PREBIC started in 2019 and plans to recruit 20 800 reproductive-age couples with child-bearing willingness. Followed up was conducted to understand the conception status of the women within two years. Women in pregnancy would be visited at first, second, third trimesters and after delivery. The offspring would be monitored until 2 years old to understand the incidences of preterm birth, low birth weight, birth defects, neurodevelopmental disorders and other outcomes. Related information and biospecimen collections (including semen, peripheral blood, urine, placenta, umbilical cord, cord blood and oral swab) were scheduled in each period. By January 2022, PREBIC had recruited 8 698 participants from all 38 districts in Chongqing. The goal of PREBIC is to establish one of the largest prospective preconception birth cohorts covering both men and women, which might provide a unique insight to understand the effects of the full reproductive cycle on reproductive health and adverse outcomes, with especial emphasis on preconception exposures.

Objective:To systematically review the relationship between CYP3A4*1G gene polymorphism and the analgesic effect of fentanyl-related drugs.Methods:The related literature about the effect of gene polymorphism on analgesic effect of fentanyl-related drugs published at home and abroad was searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang and China Biomedical Literature databases from database establishment to August 2019. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two researchers screened the literature independently, extracted the data and evaluated the methodological quality. Data analysis was performed by Review Manager 5.1 software.Results:Six literature was enrolled with 1 050 cases, including 543 cases of wild-type homozygote (CC), 437 cases of heterozygote (CG) and 70 cases of mutant homozygote (GG). The results showed that there was no significant difference in pain score between the three groups in a pairwise comparison at 24 hours after operation (all P > 0.05), but the consumption of fentanyl-related drugs in GG group was lower than that in CC group and CG group, and the differences were statistically significant [GG group vs. CC group: standardized mean difference (SMD) = -0.78, 95% CI -1.03- -0.52, P<0.01; GG group vs. CG group: SMD = -0.61, 95% CI -0.87- -0.35, P<0.01]. Conclusions:CYP3A4*1G gene polymorphism can affect the postoperative analgesia effect of fentanyl-related drugs. With the same analgesic effect, the consumption of fentanyl-related drugs in GG patients is reduced.
