AIM:To explore the effect of the peripheral defocus spectacle lenses and orthokeratology(OK)on the control of myopia progression and the impact on vision related quality of life in children and adolescents.METHODS:Prospective study. A total of 237 children initially diagnosed with myopia in the ophthalmology department of Huzhou Central Hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected and divided into two groups according to different correction methods: peripheral defocus spectacle lenses group(105 cases, 105 eyes)and OK lens group(132 cases, 132 eyes). The Vision Related Quality of Life Questionnaire for Primary and Secondary School Students was used to follow up the both groups of myopic children, and the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), spherical equivalent(SE), and axial length(AL)were recorded at the first visit and 1 a of follow-up.RESULTS:After wearing lenses for 1 a, both the peripheral defocus spectacle lenses group and OK lens group showed an increase in SE and AL, but there was no statistical difference between two groups(P>0.05). The changes in SE and AL in the peripheral defocus spectacle lenses group were greater than those in the OK lens group(all P=0.001). After 1 a of follow-up, in the emotional dimension scores, the peripheral defocus spectacle lenses group of children's vision-related quality of life scales scored higher than in the OK lens group(P<0.05). Compared with the baseline value, the change in the emotional dimension scores of the OK lens group was greater than that in the peripheral defocus spectacle lens group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:OK lenses are superior to peripheral defocus spectacle lenses in controlling the progression of myopia in children and adolescents. Both correction methods can significantly improve myopic children's vision-related quality of life, with OK lenses being better at improving the emotional dimension of vision-related quality of life.

Although blood banks based on human blood can provide blood transfusions for the wounded timely and effec-tively,scientific research has never given up on finding new blood sources due to the restrictions of human blood sources.With the application of transgenic technology and the successful breeding of gene-edited pigs,gene-edited pig blood as a po-tential source of clinical transfusion has attracted wide attention.Now there are preclinical studies showing the feasibility of transfusing gene-edited pig red blood cells into primates.This paper discusses the related research and future development of xenogeneic transfusion of porcine red blood cells by gene editing.

Objective:To investigate the iodine nutrition levels of children aged 8 - 10 and pregnant women in iodine deficient areas and iodine adequate areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (Inner Mongolia for short), and to provide scientific basis for prevention and treatment of iodine deficiency disorders.Methods:From March to July 2022, iodine nutrition analysis was conducted in iodine deficient areas and iodine adequate areas of 104 banners (counties, cities and districts) in 12 league cities in Inner Mongolia. Each monitoring banner (county, city and district) was divided into five sampling areas by east, west, south, north, and center, with one Sumu (township, street) selected from each area. One primary school was selected from each Sumu (township, street), and 40 non-boarding students aged 8 - 10 were selected from each primary school. One third of the students underwent thyroid ultrasound examination. Twenty pregnant women were selected from each of the 5 Sumus (townships, streets) in each monitoring banner (county, city and district). Household salt samples and random urine samples of children and pregnant women were collected to detect salt iodine and urinary iodine levels.Results:In 2022, the median thyroid volume of children aged 8 - 10 in iodine deficient areas and iodine adequate areas of Inner Mongolia was 2.44 ml, and the goiter rate was 1.89% (123/6 496). There were statistically significant differences in thyroid volume and goiter rate between different league cities ( H = 1 229.05, χ 2 = 34.13, P < 0.001). The coverage rate of iodized salt in 12 league cities was 98.51% (30 628/31 090), the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 94.42% (29 355/31 090), and the median salt iodine was 22.80 mg/kg. The median urinary iodine of children ( n = 20 968) was 195.00 μg/L, among which the median urinary iodine in 7 league cities was at the appropriate level of iodine nutrition (100 - 199 μg/L), and the median urinary iodine in 5 league cities was at the level of iodine nutrition exceeding the appropriate level (200 - 299 μg/L). The median urinary iodine of pregnant women ( n = 10 122) was 168.00 μg/L, among which, except for Bayannur (149.18 μg/L), the median urinary iodine in other 11 league cities was at the appropriate level of iodine nutrition (150 - 249 μg/L). Conclusions:The overall iodine nutrition of children and pregnant women in Inner Mongolia is at an appropriate level, but some pregnant women still face the risk of iodine deficiency. In the future, the focus of iodine deficiency disorders prevention and control should be on iodine nutrition monitoring for special needs populations.

In 2022, World Health Organization (WHO) launched the 5th edition of the classification of renal tumors. This classification continues to use the previous classification framework of renal tumors based on morphology and tissue structure, and proposes the concept of renal cell carcinoma defined by molecular features for the first time. This article interprets from the 3 aspects of historical changes of WHO classification and grading of renal tumors, comparison of 2022 and 2016 WHO classification of renal tumors, and the role of molecular characteristics in the new pathological types such as ELOC mutant renal cell carcinoma, ALK rearrangement renal cell carcinoma, eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma. The purpose is to better understand the WHO from the traditional classification system based on tissue morphology to a three-in-one integrated classification system covering morphology, immunophenotype and genetic characteristics, and to understand the important value of molecular pathology in guiding the work of pathologists and clinicians under the new classification system.

Objective:To study the iodine nutrition status of children in non-high water iodine areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, analyze the monitoring results of iodine deficiency disorders, so as to provide a basis for further guidance on scientific iodine supplementation for children in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.Methods:According to the requirements of the National IDD Monitoring Program and the IDD Monitoring Program of Inner Mongolia in 2021, cluster sampling method was used to select non boarding children aged 8 - 10 from 104 counties (cities, districts) in 12 cities within the jurisdiction of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Random urine samples and household salt samples were collected to detect iodine content. At the same time, 1/3 of the selected children were selected for thyroid B-ultrasound examination to measure thyroid volume.Results:In 2021, a total of 19 968 children aged 8 - 10 in non-high water iodine areas of Inner Mongolia were monitored, and 19 968 urine samples were collected, with a median urine iodine of 199.23 μg/L. There was a statistically significant difference in the frequency distribution of urinary iodine in different cities (χ 2 = 839.51, P < 0.001). The median iodine content of children's household edible salt was 22.64 mg/kg, and the coverage rate of iodized salt, qualified iodized salt coverage rate, and non-iodized salt rate in the entire region was 99.05% (19 778/19 968), 94.98% (18 785/19 778), 94.08% (18 785/19 968) and 0.95% (190/19 968), respectively. Thyroid B-ultrasound were performed in 6553 children, the goiter rate was 1.30% (85/6 553), and there were statistically significant differences in goiter rates among children of different ages and cities (χ 2 = 87.09, P < 0.001; χ 2 = 10.40, P = 0.006) . Conclusions:In 2021, the iodine nutrition of children aged 8 - 10 in non-high water iodine areas of Inner Mongolia is at an appropriate level. However, in the future we should continue to adhere to the monitoring of iodine deficiency disorders, strengthen health education on iodine deficiency disorders, consolidate existing achievements in iodine deficiency disease prevention and control, and achieve the goal of continuous elimination of iodine deficiency disorders.

Biosafety of pathogenic microbiology laboratories generally highlights the use of protective equipment, procedures, and operating practices to protect personnel and the environment from potentially hazardous biological materials. Under the current complex situation where traditional and non-traditional biosafety issues coexist, laboratory-acquired infection (LAI) of pathogenic microorganisms may cause illness, disability and even death. Pathogenic microorganisms may also be carried to the surrounding environment, causing community infection, which should be taken seriously. Analysis of LAI cases helps to understand the causes of exposure and learn lessons from post-exposure prophylaxis to be prepared and even prevent problems before they happen. Human factors cause most LAIs, laboratory activities related to aerosolization, laboratory activities related to sharps materials, low ability of personnel performing the work, and deficiencies in laboratory facilities or management are the four main factors. This study focuses on the human factors that lead to LAI, combined with confirmed cases, discusses the biosafety risks of pathogenic microorganism laboratories, reviews the development and evolution of biosafety laboratories and the current protection measures for experimenters, and accordingly puts forward countermeasures and suggestions.

Objective:To explore the prevalence and risk factors of thyroid diseases in the physical examination population of Hohhot.Methods:From July 2017 to July 2018, 3 100 health examinees from Inner Mongolia National Examination Medical Center were selected as subjects for questionnaire survey, thyroid function test and thyroid ultrasound examination; a multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between relevant investigation factors and different types of thyroid diseases (simple thyroid nodules, simple thyroid dysfunction, and thyroid dysfunction with nodules).Results:Among the 3 100 healthy examinees, there were 2 885 effective responders, including 743 males and 2 142 females, aged (46.23 ± 12.32) years; the simple thyroid nodules, simple thyroid dysfunction, and thyroid dysfunction with nodules were 909, 648, and 619 cases, respectively, and the detection rates were 31.51%, 22.46%, and 21.46%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis results showed that age [35 - 54 years old: odds ratio ( OR) = 1.30, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 1.01 - 1.68; ≥55 years old: OR = 2.30, 95% CI: 1.68 - 3.14, P < 0.05], gender ( OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.32 - 2.07, P < 0.05), obesity ( OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.08 - 1.70, P < 0.05), and mental stress [significant: OR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.09 - 2.48; some: OR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.02 - 2.32, P < 0.05] were the risk factors affecting the occurrence of simple thyroid nodules. The age (35 ~ 54, ≥55 years old), gender, bad mood (a little), and mental stress (significant) were risk factors that affected the occurrence of simple thyroid dysfunction; eating high iodine food was its protective factor. The age (35 ~ 54, ≥55 years old), gender, obesity, and thyroid family genetic history were risk factors for thyroid dysfunction with nodules; the consumption of iodized salt was its protective factor. Conclusions:Older women are high-risk groups for thyroid diseases. Obesity, bad mood, mental stress will increase the risk of the disease. Daily consumption of iodized salt and moderate consumption of high iodine food can reduce the risk of the disease.

Objective To understand the current iodine nutritional status of pregnant women in Inner Mongolia, and provide scientific basis for iodine supplementation during pregnancy. Methods In 103 banners (counties, cities and districts) of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, 5 townships were randomly selected according to their sub-area positions of east, west, south, north and center in each banner (county, city and district) in 2018. Twenty pregnant women in each township were sampled to collect edible salt and a random urine samples. The iodine in salt was determined by direct titration. Urinary iodine was detected by As3+-Ce4+catalytic spectrophotometry. According to different pregnancy, maternal age and regional type, the iodine nutrition level of pregnant women was analyzed. Results Totally 9809 pregnant women were investigated, the median of salt iodine was 23.4 mg/kg, iodized salt coverage rate was 98.03％(9616/9809), qualified iodized salt consumption rate was 93.32％(9154/9809), and the median of urinary iodine was 167.20 μg/L. Between different pregnancy and different age groups, there were no significant differences in qualified iodized salt consumption rate (P > 0.05). But the difference between different regions was statistically significant(P<0.05). Between different age groups, there was no significant difference in the median of urinary iodine(P > 0.05). In both different pregnancy and different regions, there were statistically significant differences between groups (P < 0.05). Conclusions The current iodine nutrition level of pregnant women in Inner Mongolia is suitable to meet the physiological needs of themselves, and the fetus. But pregnant women in different regions have different levels of iodine nutrition.
