Objective To analyze the endowment features of patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG)based on circuit-qi theory,thus to provide approaches for revealing the etiology,pathogenesis and prevalence of PACG.Methods From October 2023 to March 2024,a total of 204 patients with PACG admitted to the Eye Hospital,China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences were enrolled into the analysis.The natal day of the patients was used for the calculation of conception day,and then the conception day was used for the analysis of the features of five circuits and six qi based on the stem-branch lunar year of conception day.A database of information of five circuits and six qi on conception day was constructed,and then the features of their endowments at conception were statistically analyzed.Results No statistically significant differences were shown in the distribution of the dominant qi,guest qi,sitian(celestial control)and zaiquan(terrestrial effect)at conception in PACG patients(P＞0.05),but there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of yearly circuit,comprehensive circuit-qi,and combined circuit-qi at conception in PACG patients(P＜0.05).Most of PACG patients had the circuit-qi features of shaomu(deficiency of wood)-yangming dryness gold-shaoyin monarch fire,and taitu(excess of earth)-shaoyin monarch fire-yangming dryness gold at conception.Conclusion Those who are conceived at the date with circuit-qi features of shaomu and taitu,comprehensive circuit-qi features of shaomu-yangming dryness gold-shaoyin monarch fire and taitu-shaoyin monarch fire-yangming dryness gold,and combined circuit-qi features of shunhua(qi generating circuit)and celestial restriction(qi restricting circuit)are vulnerability to PACG.The development of the constitution of PACG patients may be related to the congenital circuit-qi features of pathogenic dryness attacking the lung,and metal exuberance restricting wood.

AIM: To investigate the diagnostic value of the axial length/corneal radius of curvature(AL/CR)for myopia in children and adolescents.METHODS: PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, WanFang Data and VIP databases were searched to collect clinical research on the value of AL/CR in diagnosing myopia in children and adolescents, and the retrieval time was from establishment to September 30, 2023. The QUADAS-2 tool was used to evaluate the quality of the extracted literature. A random-effects model was used to pool diagnostic test data, Meta-regression and subgroup analysis were performed to explore sources of heterogeneity.RESULTS: A total of 10 articles involving 19 872 study participants were included, and Meta-analysis showed that the pooled sensitivity of the AL/CR for the diagnosis of myopia in children and adolescents was 0.91[95%CI(0.90-0.91)], the pooled specificity was 0.84 [95%CI(0.84-0.85)], and area under the SROC curve of 0.95 [95%CI(0.93-0.96)].CONCLUSION: The AL/CR is a good indicator of myopia in children and adolescents.
