AIM:To investigate the effect of ranibizumab on blood flow density in different regions of the macula in patients with macular edema(ME)secondary to ischemic and non-ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion(BRVO).METHODS:This retrospective study enrolled patients with BRVO-ME who were treated at the hospital from September 2019 to March 2021. Patients were divided into ischemic and non-ischemic groups based on fundus findings. All patients received intravitreal injections of ranibizumab once monthly for three consecutive months. Best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), central macular thickness(CMT), and macular blood flow density were measured before treatment and at 1 d, 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo after treatment.RESULTS: A total of 46 patients(46 eyes)with BRVO-ME were included, comprising 21 eyes in the ischemic group(7 males, 14 females; mean age 55.81±10.36 y)and 25 eyes in the non-ischemic group(11 males, 14 females; mean age 54.84±9.81 y). At 3 mo after treatment, BCVA(LogMAR)in the non-ischemic group was superior to that in the ischemic group(0.19±0.19 vs 0.38±0.27, P=0.009). Analysis of CMT changes showed that the reduction amplitude in the ischemic group was significantly greater than that in the non-ischemic group at both 1 and 3 mo after treatment(all P<0.05). Blood flow densities in the whole, parafoveal, and perifoveal regions of the superficial capillary plexus(SCP), as well as in the whole and perifoveal regions of the deep capillary plexus(DCP), were significantly lower in ischemic patients than in non-ischemic patients, while blood flow density in the foveal region of DCP was significantly higher in the ischemic group(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Ranibizumab is effective for both types of patients. Non-ischemic patients have a better long-term visual prognosis, and the advantage may be related to better blood flow perfusion patterns in specific areas 3 mo after treatment. Monitoring changes in blood flow density in these areas can help provide personalized treatment for patients.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between 24 hour activity behaviors and fine motor development in preschool children, and to simulate the effects of reallocating time among different activity behaviors on fine motor development using isotemporal substitution analysis. Methods: From March to July 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to recruit 447 preschool children aged 3-6 years (254 boys and 193 girls) from Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province. The 24 hour activity behaviors in preschool children were measured using ActiGraph wGT3-BT accelerometers and subjective sleep reports. Fine motor development was assessed using the Gesell Developmental Schedules. A component linear regression model was employed to analyze the impact of 24 hour activity behaviors on the development of fine motor activities, and the potential effects of adjusting activity behaviors were simulated through an isochoric substitution model. Results: The daily durations of sedentary behavior (SB) was ( 572.92 ±102.96) min (accounting for 39.79% of 24 h), the duration of light physical activity (LPA) was (131.21± 38.11 ) min ( 9.11% ), the duration of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was (65.61±22.21) min (4.56%), and sleep duration was (670.65±57.58) min (46.82%). Sleep composition was positively associated with fine motor development ( β =2.74), while MVPA ( β =-0.84) and SB ( β =-1.93) compositions were negatively associated with fine motor development (all P <0.01). Isochoric substitution analysis showed that sleep had positive effects on the development of fine motor skills when replacing other activity behaviors (all P < 0.05), with the substitution effect for MVPA being the most significant and gradually increasing with the duration of substitution (60 min: β =28.66); sleep replacement of SB and LPA also showed positive effects (60 min: β =4.25, 2.00) (all P < 0.05). On the contrary, the substitution of sleep with MVPA showed negative effects (60 min: β =-7.86), and the substitution of LPA and SB with MVPA also showed negative effects (60 min: β =-5.65, -3.40) (all P <0.05). Conclusions The overall composition of 24 hour activity behaviors is associated with fine motor development in preschool children, with sleep playing a crucial role. Ensuring adequate sleep and optimizing the structure of activity behaviors may effectively promote the development of fine motor skills in preschool children.

AIM:To explore the feasibility of predicting orthokeratology lens ordering parameters(flat K, spherical power, lens diameter, and lens toricity)using the extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost)algorithm based on corneal topographic parameters and basic clinical examination indicators, and to provide references for intelligent clinical fitting.METHODS:Clinical data were retrospectively collected from myopic patients who underwent initial orthokeratology lens fitting and achieved successful fitting at Puyang Second People's Hospital between January 2019 and March 2024. Data from right and left eyes were treated as independent samples, and the dataset was partitioned at the patient level into training and test sets in a 7∶3 ratio. Input features included uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), axial length(AL), horizontal visible iris diameter(HVID), flat K, steep K, horizontal eccentricity, and vertical eccentricity. The lens toricity prediction model additionally incorporated keratometric astigmatism(ΔK)and surface asymmetry index(SAI). The output labels were the final ordering parameters(flat K, spherical power, lens diameter, and lens toricity). Separate XGBoost regression models were constructed for each output parameter, with hyperparameters optimized independently through grid search combined with 5-fold cross-validation. Model performance was evaluated on the test set using the coefficient of determination(R2), mean absolute error(MAE), and root mean square error(RMSE). Feature importance analysis was also performed.RESULTS:Totally 400 patients(800 eyes)were included in the final analysis. The 400 patients comprised 208 male(52.0%)and 192 female(48.0%)patients, with a mean age of 10.1±2.3 y. After partitioning at the patient level, the training set comprised 280 patients(560 eyes; 146 males and 134 females; mean age 10.1±2.3 y), and the test set comprised 120 patients(240 eyes; 62 males and 58 females; mean age 10.0±2.2 y). No statistically significant differences in sex composition or age were found between the two sets(P>0.05). Toric lenses were used by 140 of the 280 patients(50.0%)in the training set and by 50 of the 120 patients(41.7%)in the test set(χ2=2.017, P=0.156). The flat K prediction model achieved an MAE of 0.34 D and an R2 of 0.84. The spherical power model attained an MAE of 0.43 D and an R2 of 0.70. The lens diameter model yielded an MAE of 0.12 mm and an R2 of 0.42. The lens toricity model(Tweedie regression, power=1.5)achieved an MAE of 0.44 D and an R2 of 0.38. The MAE for each parameter fell within the clinically acceptable tolerance limits(flat K≤0.50 D, spherical power ≤0.75 D, lens diameter ≤0.25 mm, lens toricity ≤0.75 D). Scatter plots and Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated strong agreement between predicted values and actual observations. Feature importance analysis revealed that flat K(0.70)and steep K(0.11)were the most influential predictors in the flat K prediction model.CONCLUSION: The XGBoost model based on routine clinical parameters provides predictions of flat K, spherical power, and lens diameter with MAEs within clinically acceptable ranges, and offers useful reference for cylindrical power prediction. This approach may serve as a useful adjunct to clinical lens fitting. Nevertheless, future prospective studies are warranted to validate its clinical utility in improving actual fitting success rates.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of pediatric myocardial infarction (MI) patients with coronary artery lesions (CAL) after Kawasaki disease (KD).Methods:Clinical data including baseline characteristics, KD and CAL information, clinical symptoms at MI onset, electrocardiogram (ECG) and imaging findings, MI treatment, and clinical outcomes of 41 MI patients with CAL after KD admitted to the Children′s Hospital of Fudan University from January 2017 to August 2024 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:(1) Demographic characteristics: a total of 41 patients were included (36 males and 5 females). The age at MI was 4.6 (2.3, 5.7) years, and time from KD onset to MI was 397 (50, 1 095) d. (2) Treatment of acute KD: only 15 patients (37%) received standard initial treatment within 10 days of KD onset with intravenous immunoglobulin 2 g/kg. The other 26 cases (63%) received non-standard treatment or no treatment. (3) Treatment of CAL before MI: the time from KD onset to CAL was 14 (10, 116) d, with CAL not identified before MI onset in 15 patients. Among the 26 cases diagnosed with CAL prior to MI, 9 cases received only single or dual antiplatelet drug, of which 7 cases received oral dipyridamole. The remaining 16 cases received antiplatelet drug combined with warfarin, but only 1 case achieved the target international standardized ratio of 1.5-2.5. Out of all 41 cases, only 1 case (2%) received standard antithrombotic treatment before MI onset. (4) Clinical symptoms of MI: at MI onset, 32 patients presented with different clinical symptoms, with typical MI symptoms such as chest tightness, chest pain, precordial discomfort in 18 cases, and cardiopulmonary arrest accompanied by syncope or convulsions in 10 cases. Other non-specific symptoms included abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and pallor. Nine patients were asymptomatic and were found to have silent MI on follow-up. (5) ECG and imaging findings: ECG showed ST-T changes in 33 cases, and abnormal Q waves, and arrhythmias in the remaining patients; echocardiography indicated coronary artery aneurysm with thrombosis in 27 cases, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction in 18 cases, abnormal wall motion in 15 cases, and ventricular aneurysm in 3 cases. Thirty-seven patients underwent coronary angiography and (or) multi-slice spiral CT angiography, with 39 occluded vessels and 3 severe stenosis (≥75%), all of which were caused by giant aneurism with thrombus formation. (6) Treatment of MI: of the 32 patients with acute MI, 9 patients received successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 7 patients received intravenous thrombolysis, and 1 patient underwent percutaneous coronary balloon angioplasty. All of these patients received dual antiplatelet drugs and low-molecular-weight heparin at therapeutic doses following MI treatment. Sixteen patients received coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) treatment, all of which were successful. (7) Outcomes: the follow-up time was 994 (215, 1 832) d. Thirty-one patients showed improvement, 5 patients experienced disease progression or no change, 1 patient died, and 4 patients were lost to follow-up.Conclusions:MI in children with CAL after KD often occurs within 1 year after the onset of KD. MI can present with atypical clinical symptoms in children. CABG is the main treatment option in children severe CAL after KD who developed MI.

Objective: To investigate the trends in incidence and mortality of lung cancer in Huangpu District, Shanghai Municipality from 2002 to 2019, so as to provide the evidence for formulating lung cancer prevention and control measures. Methods: Data of lung cancer incidence and mortality among residents in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019 were collected through the Shanghai Cancer Registration and Reporting Management System. The crude incidence and mortality of lung cancer was calculated, and standardized by the data from the Chinese Fifth National Population Census in 2000 (Chinese-standardized rate) and the Segi's world standard population in 1960 (world-standardized rate). The trends in incidence and mortality of lung cancer among residents by age and gender were evaluated using annual percent change (APC). Results: A total of 12 965 cases of lung cancer were reported in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019, and the crude incidence rate was 80.66/105, the Chinese-standardized incidence rate was 34.54/105, and the world-standardized incidence rate was 31.30/105, all showing upward trends (APC=4.588%, 2.933% and 3.247%, all P<0.05). A total of 10 102 deaths of lung cancer were reported, and the crude mortality rate was 62.30/105, showing an upward trend (APC=0.959%, P<0.05); the Chinese-standardized mortality was 25.93/105, and the world-standardized mortality was 22.05/105, both showing downward trends (APC=-1.282% and -1.263%, both P<0.05). The crude incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer in males were higher than those in females (101.39/105 vs. 60.52/105, 85.45/105 vs. 39.87/105, both P<0.05). The crude incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer showed upward trends with age (both P<0.05), reaching their peaks in the age groups of 80-<85 years (341.37/105) and 85 years or above (355.97/105), respectively. Conclusions The incidence of lung cancer showed an upward trend, while the mortality showed a downward trend in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019. Elderly men were the high-risk group for lung cancer incidence and mortality.

Methods: This paper introduces the concept of “order parameters” and proposes a method for establishing an order parameter model of gas discharge visualization (GDV) based on the principle of “mastering both permanence and change (MBPC)”. The method involved the following three steps. First, average luminous intensity () and average area () of the GDV images were calculated to construct the phase space, and the score of the health questionnaire was calculated as the health deviation index (H). Second, the k-means++ clustering method was employed to identify subclasses with the same health characteristics based on the data samples, and to statistically determine the symptom-specific frequencies of the subclasses. Third, the distance (d) between each sample and the “ideal health state”, which determined in the phase space of each subclass, was calculated as an order parameter describing the health imbalance, and a linear mapping was established between the d and the H. Further, the health implications of GDV signals were explored by analyzing subclass symptom profiles. We also compare the mean square error (MSE) with classification methods based on age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) indices to verify that the phase space possesses the ability to portray the health status of the human body. Results: This study preliminarily tested the reliability of the order parameter model on data samples provided by 20 participants. Based on the discovered linear law, the current model can use d calculated by measuring the GDV signal to predict H (R2 > 0.77). Combined with the symptom profiles of the subclasses, we explain the classification basis of the phase space based on the pattern identification. Compared with common classification methods based on age, gender, BMI, etc., the MSE of phase space-based classification was reduced by an order of magnitude. Conclusion In this study, the GDV order parameter model based on MBPC can identify subclasses and characterize individual health levels, and explore the TCM health meanings of the GDV signals by using subjective-objective methods, which holds significance for establishing mathematical models from TCM diagnosis principles to interpret human body signals.

Objective: To investigate the trends in incidence and mortality of prostate cancer in Huangpu District, Shanghai Municipality from 2002 to 2019, so as to provide insights into the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer. Methods: The incidence and mortality of prostate cancer among men in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019 were collected from the Shanghai Cancer Registry System. The crude incidence, crude mortality, truncated age-standardized incidence (aged 35 to 64 years) and cumulative incidence (aged 0 to 74 years) of prostate cancer were calculated. The Chinese Fifth National Population Census in 2000 and the Segi's world standard population in 1960 were used to calculate Chinese-standardized rate and world-standardized rate. The trends in incidence and mortality of prostate cancer were evaluated using annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC). Results: A total of 2 672 cases of prostate cancer were reported in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019, and the crude incidence was 33.35/105, the Chinese-standardized incidence was 14.93/105 and the world-standardized incidence was 12.37/105 (AAPC=7.675%, 4.886% and 4.983%, all P<0.05). The incidence of prostate cancer among males at ages of 60 to <70 years and 70 to <80 years appeared increasing trends (AAPC=4.554% and 5.045%, both P<0.05). A total of 1 214 deaths of prostate cancer were reported, and the crude mortality was 15.15/105, the Chinese-standardized mortality was 6.01/105 and the world-standardized mortality was 4.61/105 (AAPC=5.500%, 2.057% and 1.784%, all P<0.05). The mortality of prostate cancer among males at ages of 80 years and above appeared an increasing trend (AAPC=4.220%, P<0.05). Conclusions The incidence and mortality of prostate cancer appeared increasing trends in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019, and the incidence among males at ages of 60 years and above also increased. The screening for prostate cancer among males at ages of 60 years and above should be strengthened.
