AIM: To compare the efficacy of highly aspherical lenslets(HAL), defocus incorporated multiple segments(DIMS), and single-vision spectacle lenses(SVL)in slowing myopia progression in children and adolescents.
METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, myopic children and adolescents aged 6-16 y who were prescribed spectacle lenses at the hospital between January 2023 and June 2023 were included. Participants were divided into the HAL, DIMS, and SVL groups according to the correction modality voluntarily selected by participants and their guardians. The follow-up duration was 12 mo. After 12 mo of wear, changes from baseline in sphere, cylinder, spherical equivalent(SE), axial length(AL), flat corneal curvature(K1), steep corneal curvature(K2), mean corneal curvature, and binocular visual function \〖binocular cross-cylinder(BCC), negative/positive relative accommodation(NRA/PRA)\〗 were compared among the three groups after 12-month spectacle wear. Three groups were further stratified by age into age≤10 y and age>10 y subgroups to explore the effect of age on myopia control efficacy of defocus lenses.
RESULTS: A total of 159 myopic participants(159 eyes; only the right eye was included for each subject)were enrolled. In the HAL group(55 participants), there were 24 males and 31 females, with a mean age of 10.07±2.14 y. The DIMS group consisted of 60 participants(33 males, 27 females), with a mean age of 10.02±1.88 y. The SVL group included 44 participants(21 males, 23 females), with a mean age of 10.59±1.93 y. There were no significant differences in K1, K2, mean corneal curvature, NRA, BCC, and PRA among the three groups after 12-month spectacle wear(all P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the changes in sphere, SE, and AL(all P<0.05). The changes in sphere, cylinder, SE, and AL in the HAL and DIMS groups were significantly lower than those in the SVL group(all P<0.0167). The DIMS group showed a significantly smaller cylinder progression than the SVL group(P<0.0167). In participants aged≤10 y, the change in spherical power in the HAL group was significantly smaller than those in the DIMS group and SVL group after 12-month spectacle wear(all P<0.0167). The change in cylindrical power in the DIMS group was smaller than that in the SVL group(all P<0.0167). Among participants aged>10 y, the changes in spherical power, SE, and AL in both the HAL group and DIMS group were significantly smaller than those in the SVL group after 12-month spectacle wear(all P<0.0167).
CONCLUSION: Both HAL and DIMS lenses can effectively slow the progression of refractive error and AL elongation in children and adolescents, without significant adverse effects on binocular visual function. Among children≤10 y, HAL lenses yield superior spherical power control, whereas DIMS lenses provide better astigmatism control than SVL.

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of leuprorelin and mifepristone on sex hormone levels, ovarian function, adverse reactions, and recurrence in patients with endometriosis (EMs) after surgery. METHODS A total of 178 patients who underwent surgical treatment for EMs in Ji’an Central People’s Hospital from September 2021 to September 2023 were randomly divided into the leuprorelin group and the mifepristone group, with 92 cases in each group. Medication was initiated on days 1 to 5 of the first menstrual cycle following surgery. Patients in the leuprorelin group received subcutaneous injections of Leuprorelin acetate microspheres, 3.75 mg per time, once every four weeks, for a total of 6 injections. Patients in the mifepristone group took 12.5 mg of Mifepristone capsules orally once daily for six consecutive months. Visual analog scale (VAS), serum sex hormone levels [follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2)], ovarian function indicators [anti- Müllerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC)], and T helper 1 cell (Th1)/Th2 shift markers [interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-4, and IL-10] were compared between the two groups before surgery and after treatment. Incidence and outcome of adverse reactions and recurrence within one year were also compared between the two groups. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in baseline indicators between the two groups before surgery (P>0.05). After treatment, both groups showed significantly lower VAS scores for chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia, and significantly reduced serum FSH, LH, E2, IL-4 and IL-10 levels compared to before surgery (P<0.05), while serum IFN-γ and IL-2 levels were significantly increased (P<0.05); the leuprorelin group showed significantly greater improvements than the mifepristone group in all these indicators (P<0.05). After treatment, serum AMH levels in both groups were significantly lower than before surgery levels, while AFC was significantly increased (P<0.05); the leuprorelin group had significantly higher serum AMH levels and more AFC compared to the mifepristone group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of adverse reactions and outcome rates between the two groups (P>0.05). During one year of follow-up after discontinuation, the recurrence rate in the leuprorelin group was significantly lower than in the mifepristone group (1.15% vs. 10.99%, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Both leuprorelin and mifepristone are effective therapeutic drugs for EMs, but the former has advantages in alleviating pain, regulating serum sex hormone levels, protecting ovarian function, regulating immune function and reducing recurrence rates.
