Objective:To explore the association between healthy lifestyle and co-morbidity of overweight/obesity and myopia in adolescents.Methods:Based on the Shanghai Municipal Dynamic Cohort of Student Common Diseases, we used the group-based trajectory model (GBTM) to establish a model for the development of adolescents' healthy lifestyle trajectories aged 11-14 years and the Cox proportional hazard regression model to assess the effects of different healthy lifestyles on the co-morbidity of overweight/obesity and myopia in adolescents.Results:A total of 2 331 adolescents were included in the analysis. The average follow-up time was 1.87 years, with age of (11.44±0.45) years at the initial follow-up, among 1 106 boys and 1 225 girls. During the 2-year follow-up period, the incidence rates of overweight/obesity, myopia, and co-occurrence of overweight/obesity and myopia were 25.9%, 77.0%, and 13.7%, respectively. GBTM identified 3 healthy lifestyles: the unhealthy group (7.3%), the relatively healthy group (50.2%), and the healthy group (42.5%). The risk of overweight/obesity was lower in the relatively healthy group than in the unhealthy group ( HR=0.694, 95% CI: 0.508-0.947). There was no statistically significant association between the GBTM lifestyle subgroups and myopia ( P>0.05). The risk of co-occurrence of overweight/obesity and myopia was lower in both relatively healthy group and healthy group than in the unhealthy group (relatively healthy group: HR=0.515, 95% CI: 0.348-0.763; healthy group: HR=0.571, 95% CI: 0.384-0.849). Sensitivity analyses showed this result to be stable for myopia, overweight/obesity and myopia co-morbidities. Conclusion:Persistent unhealthy lifestyle increases the risk of overweight/obesity and myopia co-occurrence in adolescents.

Objective:To establish a normal data model of fetal right ventricular size and function using echocardiography,and to explore the clinical value of quantitative assessment of right ventricular size and function in the diagnosis of congenital heart diseases.Methods:(1)A simple random sampling method was employed to collect 1 004 pregnant women with normal singleton pregnancies at 24 to 32 +6 weeks of gestation who underwent fetal cardiac ultrasound examinations at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 2021 to December 2023. Two-dimensional and M-mode echocardiography were used to measure the right ventricular end-diastolic diameter(RVEDD),right ventricular end-diastolic area(RVEDA),tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion(TAPSE)during systole,and the right ventricular fractional area change(RVFAC)was calculated. The correlations between the above parameters and ultrasound gestational age(USGA)were analyzed. Moreover,percentile growth curves for each parameter were plotted. With the above parameters as dependent variables and the USGA as the independent variable,a Z-score model was established through regression analysis.(2)A stratified sampling method was adopted to select 30 fetuses diagnosed with hypoplastic right heart syndrome(HRHS)and 30 fetuses diagnosed with pulmonary stenosis(PS)during the same period as the case group. The model was verified,and the morphological and functional characteristics of the right ventricle were analyzed. Results:The data of RVEDD,RVEDA,TAPSE,and RVFAC in normal fetuses showed a skewed distribution. Each parameter showed good linear correlations with USGA( r=0.836,0.834,0.846,0.242;all P<0.001). The constructed percentile curves for each parameter indicated that RVEDD,RVEDA and TAPSE increased significantly with the growth of USGA,while RVFAC showed a slow downward trend. All parameters in the HRHS group and TAPSE and RVFAC in the PS group deviated significantly from the normal reference range(all P<0.001). Conclusions:By analyzing RVEDD,RVEDA,TAPSE and RVFAC of normal fetuses,the percentile and Z-score normal reference value models of multiple parameters of fetal right ventricular size and function have been established,providing corresponding standards for quantitative analysis.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy, tolerability and safety of adjunctive perampanel in focal epilepsy patients≥12 years old.Methods:One hundred and nineteen focal epilepsy patients≥12 years old accepted adjunctive perampanel in Department of Neurology, First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from July 2020 to December 2022 were chosen. At 1-3 months, 4-6 months, 7-9 months and 10-12 months after adjunctive perampanel, seizure frequency changes every 28 d, medication retention rate and adverse reactions were recorded to evaluate the clinical efficacy (a reduction in seizure frequency≥50% from baseline was defined as overall valid treatment), tolerability and safety of adjunctive perampanel. According to efficacy results after adjunctive perampanel of 4-6 months (short-term) and 10-12 months (long-term), these patients were divided into valid group and invalid group; and the influencing factors for short-term and long-term efficacy were analyzed.Results:At 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12 months after adjunctive perampanel, reduction in seizure frequency every 28 d was 66.7% (24.3%, 97.2%), 77.5% (48.6%, 100%), 94.6% (50%, 100%), 100% (70.9%, 100%), enjoying overall valid rate of 60.2% (59/98), 75.0% (7/76), 78.9% (45/57), 86.5% (32/37). The retention rate at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after adjunctive perampanel was 85.2% (98/115), 67.9% (76/112), 54.3% (57/105), 41.1% (37/90). Adverse reactions were reported in 33 patents (27.7%), mainly with dizziness and secondly with mental symptoms. After short-term and long-term adjunctive perampanel, no significant difference was noted in gender, initial age of adjunctive perampanel, course of disease, etiology, EEG results, imaging results, number and type of combined anti-seizure drugs, or maximum dose of pirampanel between the valid group and invalid group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Perampanel has good efficacy, tolerability and safety in adolescents and adults≥12 years old with focal epilepsy; no clear influencing factors for pirampanel valid treatment is found so far.
