Objective:
To explore two visual acuity standards for examining uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) to define poor vision in lower grade elementary school students, and to compare the difference of screening myopia rates when combined with non cycloplegic auto refraction (NCAR), so as to provide a scientific basis for standardizing UCVA examination methods using CAR as the gold standard of authenticity and reliability.
Methods:
From March 22nd to April 9th, 2023, a total of 549 first and second grade students aged 7-8 years from a primary school in Hefei City were selected for the study by convenient cluster sampling method. Two methods were employed for UCVA examination:the first method involved charts where the student could not make mistakes in identifying at least half of the characters per line (V1), and the second method used charts with character sizes ranging from 4.0 -4.5, 4.6-5.0 and 5.1-5.3, without allowing 1, 2 and 3 errors per line (V2). While NCAR was performed, then 187 students underwent CAR examination. Paired Wilcoxon rank-sum test and McNemar test were used to compare the differences between V1 and V2 methods in defining poor vision and screening myopia rates. Using CAR as the gold standard, the authenticity and reliability of defining screening myopia rates through the combination of V1 and V2 methods along with NCAR were evaluated.
Results:
The UCVA examination results for V1 and V2 showed statistically significant differences in both the right eye [5.0(4.9,5.0), 4.9(4.8,5.0)] and the left eye [ 5.0 (4.9,5.0), 4.9(4.8,5.0)] ( Z=-13.95, -13.34, P <0.01). The detection rates of poor vision for the right eye were 43.53% for V1 and 63.21% for V2, and the left eye with 44.08% for V1 and 62.11% for V2, with statistically significant differences ( χ 2= 106.01 , 95.09, P <0.01). When screening myopia rates were assessed for UCNA methods combined with NCAR, the right eye rates were 21.49% for V1 and 24.59% for V2, and the left eye rates were 21.31% for V1 and 23.13% for V2, with statistically significant differences ( χ 2=15.06, 8.10, P <0.01). Using CAR as the gold standard, the detection rates in the right eye and left eye were 16.58 % and 17.11%, respectively. The Youden indices for defining screening myopia in the right eye were 0.80 for V1 and 0.79 for V2, and the left eye with 0.85 for V1 and 0.83 for V2. The agreement rates for the right eye were 91.98 % for V1 and 89.30% for V2, and the left eye with 94.12% for V1 and 91.98% for V2. The Kappa values for the right eye were 0.73 for V1 and 0.67 for V2, and the left eye with 0.81 for V1 and 0.75 for V2.
Conclusions
Authenticity and reliability of two UCVA examination methods combined with NCAR in defining screening myopia are higher in V1 than V2 methods. It is recommended to unify the visual acuity examination methods by requiring the correct identification of more than half of the total number of visual markers in a row.

Objective:
To investigate the association between self-rated health status and mortality risk, and to evaluate the predictive value of self-rated health status for mortality risk among the elderly.
Methods:
Based on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) database, data of sociodemographic information, self-rated health status and mortality of the elderly aged 60 years and older were collected from 2011 to 2018. The association between self-rated health status and mortality risk among the elderly was analyzed using a multivariable Cox proportional risk regression model.
Results:
Totally 4 850 individuals were included, with an median age of 65 (interquartile range, 8) years. There were 2 485 males (51.24%) and 2 365 females (48.76%). There were 877 individuals (18.08%) rated their health as good, 2 078 individuals (42.85%) as general, 1 895 individuals (39.07%) as poor. A total of 28 955 person-years were followed up, with an average follow-up of 5.97 years per person. There were 855 deaths by the end of follow-up in 2018, and the median survival time was 7 (interquartile range, 3) years. Multivariable Cox proportional risk regression analysis showed that there were interactive effects of age, sex and self-rated health status on mortality, respectively (both P<0.05). The results of gender-stratified analysis showed that there was no significant association between self-rated health status and mortality risk in old women (P>0.05). The mortality risk was higher in old men with poor self-rated health than with good self-rated health (<70 years, HR=5.382, 95%CI: 3.263-8.876; 70 to 79 years, HR=3.536, 95%CI: 1.070-11.686; ≥80 years, HR=3.043, 95%CI: 1.827-5.066).
Conclusion
There is an association between self-rated health status and mortality risk among the elderly, the old men with poor self-rated health had a higher mortality risk.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between preoperative serum bilirubin concentrations and postoperative delirium (POD) in the patients undergoing knee or hip replacement.Methods:Medical records from 413 patients undergoing knee or hip arthroplasty were selected from August 2020 to October 2023 at Qingdao Municipal Hospital using a nested case-control design based on the PNDABLE study cohort. The patients were divided into POD group ( n=77) and non-POD group ( n=336) according to whether POD occurred. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors. Logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors for POD. The significance of mediation effect was tested. The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to evaluate the accuracy of risk factors in predicting POD. Results:There were significant differences in age, education time, ratio of diabetes history, Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale score, total bilirubin concentration, direct bilirubin concentration, indirect bilirubin concentration, Aβ 42 concentration, p-tau concentration, t-tau concentration, Aβ 42/p-tau ratio and Aβ 42/t-tau ratio between POD group and non-POD group ( P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative serum total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin were risk factors for POD ( P<0.05). The results of mediation effects showed that the concentration of total tau protein in CSF partly mediated the relationship between high serum total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin concentrations and POD. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin combined with CSF biomarker concentrations in predicting POD was 0.83 ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Preoperative elevated concentrations of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin are risk factors for POD in the patients undergoing knee or hip replacement. CSF t-tau concentration has a partly mediating role in the association between serum total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin concentrations and the development of POD.

Objective:To explore the effect and molecular mechanism of circ_0000263 on HeLa cell activity, apoptosis, telomerase activity, and radiosensitivity.Methods:The Hela cells were divided into si-NC, si-circ, vector, circ_0000263, anti-NC, anti-miR-338-3p, miR-NC, miR-338-3p, si-circ+anti-NC, si-circ+ anti-miR-338-3p, si-circ+vector, si-circ+TERT, sh-NC, sh-circ groups. Reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expressions of circ_0000263 and miR-338-3p. Cell clone formation array was used to detect cell survival; cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) to detect cell proliferation; flow cytometry to detect apoptosis; western blot method to detect the expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Cleaved-casp3, telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) proteins; double luciferase assay to detect the targeting relationships of circ_0000263 and miR-338-3p, miR-338-3p and TERT; telomere repeat amplification enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (TRAR-ELISA) to detect telomerase activity.Results:Circ_0000263 was highly expressed in Hela cells, miR-338-3p was low expressed, and TERT was highly expressed; circ_0000263 was also highly expressed in Hela cells treated with radiation ( P<0.05). Knockdown of circ_0000263 inhibited the clone formation and cell proliferation ability of HeLa cells, and enhanced the radiosensitivity and apoptosis of HeLa cells. In contrast, knockdown of circ_0000263 decreased PCNA protein expression level and enhanced Cleaved-casp3 protein expression level in HeLa cells ( P<0.05). The apoptosis rate in the si-circ group was (13.19±1.12)%, which was higher than (6.80±0.62)% of si-NC group ( P<0.05). The apoptosis rate in the si-circ+4 Gy group was (24.82±1.57)%, which was higher than (17.00±0.96)% of si-NC+4 Gy group ( P<0.05). Circ_0000263 targeted regulated miR-338-3p, and miR-338-3p targeted regulated TERT. MiR-338-3p was lowly expressed in HeLa cells, and knockdown of circ_0000263 elevated miR-338-3p expression level in HeLa cells. Circ_0000263 regulated TERT expression and inhibited telomerase activity through miR-338-3p. MiR-338-3p/TERT can restore the effect of circ_0000263 on the radiosensitivity of Hela cells. The apoptosis rate in the si-circ+anti-NC group was (27.37±0.89)%, which was higher than (18.22±1.18)% of the si-circ+anti-miR-338-3p group ( P<0.05). The apoptosis rate in the si-circ+vector group was (27.55±0.48)%, which was higher than (20.10±0.68)% of si-circ+TERT group ( P<0.05). After 72 hours of radiation by 4 Gy, the cell survival fraction of si-circ+anti-NC group was 0.41±0.02, which was lower than 0.66±0.03 of the si-circ+anti-miR-338-3p group ( P<0.05); the cell survival fraction of si-circ+vector group was 0.42±0.05, which was lower than 0.70±0.03 of si-circ+TERT group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Inhibiting the expression of circ_0000263 supresses the proliferation of Hela cells by regulating miR-338-3p/TERT, promotes apoptosis, inhibits telomerase activity, increases the radiosensitivity of cancer cells, and provides a theoretical basis for improving the radiosensitivity of Hela cells.
