AIM: To understand the current status and differences in visual acuity of children of the same age from different regions of Xi'an, and to take an effective basis for the prevention of children's myopia.METHODS: Random stratified sampling was used to select the uncorrected distance visual acuity and computed dioptric data of 41 285 children aged 6-12 from 6 towns, 10 urban and rural areas and 112 country schools screened by Xi'an Central Hospital in December 2022.RESULTS: The myopia detection rate in different regions of Xi'an is 47.16% in towns, 38.59% in urban and rural areas, and 32.29% in the country, and the total myopia rate is 37.50%. The myopia rate of 6-12 years old in towns is higher than that in urban and rural areas, and that of urban and rural areas is higher than that of country; the myopia rate of girls is higher than that of boys; myopia rate increases with age; mild myopia: the myopia rate in towns is significantly higher than that of the urban and rural areas and the country; high myopia: the myopia rate in the country is significantly higher than that of the towns and the urban and rural areas. The total rate of deficient hyperopia reserves in different regions of Xi'an is 92.08% in towns, 93.67% in urban and rural areas, and 90.92% in the country, and the total rate of deficient hyperopia reserves is 92.09%. The rate of deficient hyperopia reserves at the age of 6-12 is higher in the urban and rural areas than in the towns, and higher in the towns than in the country; the total rate of deficient hyperopia reserve is higher in girls than in boys; it is the peak period of the development of hyperopia reserve rate before the age of 8.CONCLUSION: The total myopia rate and the total vision reserve deficiency rate of 6-12 years old in different regions of Xi'an are different, and 8-9 years old is the accelerated period of myopia development, and the peak of deficient hyperopia reserve is before the age of 8 years old. With the growth of age, the myopia rate shows a certain growth trend, and the rate of deficient hyperopia reserve shows a decreasing trend after reaching the peak. The total myopia rate and insufficient acuity reserve rate of girls are higher than those of boys.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract, which seriously threatens human health. In recent years, many studies have found that Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) is positively related to the occurrence of CRC. In the process of CRC carcinogenesis, Fn can play an important role by inducing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and triggering chronic inflammation, inhibiting the function of immune cells, inducing chemotherapy resistance, promoting the expressions of tumor genes and microRNAs and regulating glycolysis.

Objective: To investigate the expression and clinical significance of circDLGAP4 from peripheral blood in coronary heart disease (CAD). Methods: The relative expression level of circDLGAP4 in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) from 142 CAD patients and 169 healthy controls were detected by real-time PCR. Logistic regression, Spearman correlation and multivariate regression analysis were used to investigate the correlation of circDLGAP4 with CAD. THP-1 macrophages were treated with oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) to construct an atherosclerotic foam cell model. The levels of circDLGAP4 mRNA were detected at different time points. Results: The mRNA expression of circDLGAP4 in PBLs of CAD patients was significantly decreased compared with controls (P=0.019). With increased unit (2 -ΔCt ) of circDLGAP4 expression, the risk of CAD occurrence reduced by 41.6% (adjusted OR=0.584, 95% CI: 0.394-0.866, P=0.007). The expression of circDLGAP4 was negatively correlated with T2DM history (β=-0.182，P=0.030). The level of circDLGAP4 in ox-LDL-treated THP-1 macrophages was decreased in a time-dependent manner. Conclusion The expression of circDLGAP4 was significantly decreased in PBLs of CAD patients and THP-1 macrophages-derived foam cells, and might be a protective factor in the pathophysiology of CAD.

Objective: To explore the relationship between HCM pathogenic gene mutations and clinical phenotypes by analyzing the prenatal diagnosis and genetic characteristics of a pregnant woman from a family with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Methods: The clinical data of the proband and her family members was collected. The DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood, amniotic fluid cells and cultured amniotic fluid cells of proband. Next generation sequencing (NGS) was utilized for screening pathogenetic loci of the proband. The suspected mutation sequences of HCM pathogenic candidate genes MYH7 and MYBPC3 were directly sequenced after PCR. Pathogenicity prediction of amniotic fluid cells was performed by using genetic data and bioinformatics software, such as Mutation taster, PolyPhen-2 and ANTHEPROT. Results: The sequencing results showed that heterozygous mutations of MYH7 c.1988G＞A (p.Arg663His) and MYBPC3 c.151G＞A (p.Ala51Thr) were found in the proband. The phenotype of her father was normal, and no abnormal mutations were detectable. Her mother also showed normal phenotype but carried MYBPC3 c.151G＞A heterozygous mutation. Only MYH7 c.1988G＞A heterozygous mutation was found in the fetus and no abnormal variation of MYBPC3 was showed. The prediction of mutation effect and analysis of protein structure and function revealed that the two missense mutations could affect the hydrophobicity and antigenicity of the protein. The genetic data demonstrated MYH7 c.1988G＞A was defined as a pathogenic mutation. Conclusion MYH7 c.1988G＞A should be a newly generated pathogenic mutation in the proband, or caused by reproductive chimerism of her parents. MYBPC3 c.151G＞A mutation may promote the occurrence of HCM. Although the fetus only carries MYH7 c.1988G＞A, her phenotype may still display as HCM.

Objective To establish normative data for the fetal cisterna magna septa (CMS) at various gestational age,and to evaluate its clinical significance.Methods A total of consecutive fetal between 14 and 40 gestational week(GW) were included in this prospective study.The length and width of CMS were measured by two-dimensional ultrasonography.Regression analysis was used to study the relationship between the width and length of the fetal cisterna magna septa and gestational age.Twenty-five case of fetuses with the absence of CMS and 12 case of fetuses with the enlargement of CMS were retrospectively analyzed in the past six years in our hospital.Results ①The fetal CMS length and width increased gradually between 14 and 22 GW,then plateaued between 23 GW and 36 GW,and decreased after 37 GW.This ultrasonographic pattern was in agreement with normal development of rhombencephalon.②The absence of CMS in the fetuses were common in Dandy-Walker syndrome,holoprosencephaly,severe hydrocephalus,neural tube defects,rhombencephalon synapsis and Arnold-Chiari malformation.The enlargement of CMS in the fetuses may be shown in physiologic enlargement of posterior fossa.ConclusionsCMS is a potential new marker for normal development of rhombencephalon.The enlargement and absence of CMS are related to various malformations of central neural system,especially in the abnormalities of posterior fossa.

Objective: To observe the effects of manganese( Ⅲ ) meso-tetrakis (N, N'-diethylimidazolium-2-yl) porphyrin (MnTDM) in treatment of early Parkinson's disease(PD) mouse model induced by subcutaneous injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP) and to discuss its possible mechanism. Methods:Forty male C57BL/6 mice were evenly randomized into 4 groups: MPTP model group(subcutaneous injection of 25 mg/kg MPTP for 3 days), MnTDM+ MPTP group (15 mg/kg MnTDM was subcutaneously injected 1 h before MPTP injection), MnTDM control group, and normal saline group. Performance of animals in the pole and swimming test was observed 3 days after the last injection. Levels of dopamine (DA) and its metabolites(3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid [DOPAC] and homovanillic acid [HVA]) in the striatum of animals were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography with an electrochemical detector(HPLC-ECD). Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method was used to examine the levels of malondialdehyde(MDA). Results: Acute injection of MPTP could be used for establishment of PD model. The striatal levels of DA, DOPAC and HVA in MPTP group were significantly lower(P＜0.01)and the striatal level of MDA was significantly higher(P＜0.05) than those of the control group. MPTP had no obvious effect on the behavioral performance of the animals in a short term. MnTDM could partly inhibit the above effects of MPTP. Compared with MPTP group, MnTDM+ MPTP group had significantly higher DA, DOPAC, and HVA levels and significantly lower MDA level(all P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in the behavioral indices of animals between the 4 groups. Conclusion:MnTDM can inhibit lipid peroxidation and promote DA production; it has preventive and therapeutic effects on MPTP induced PD.
