AIM:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of three types of spectacle lenses with different peripheral microstructure designs in controlling myopia progression among children.METHODS: Retrospective case analysis was conducted. Children diagnosed with myopia aged 6 to 12 y who were received initial spectacle fitting and completed 1-year follow-up at the Optometry Clinic of Suining Central Hospital between January 2023 and August 2024 were enrolled. Only right eye data of all subjects were included for analysis. Based on the type of spectacle lenses independently selected by the children and their parents/guardians, they were divided into four groups: diffusion optics technology(DOT), cylindrical annular refractive element(CARE), highly aspherical lenslets(HAL), and single-vision lenses(SVL). Changes in axial length(AL)and spherical equivalent(SE)from baseline were observed after 1-year lens wear in four groups. Variations between three peripheral microstructure-designed spectacles and single-vision spectacles were compared. The effects of different lens designs on spherical power, astigmatism, corneal curvature, corneal astigmatism, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, and vitreous cavity depth were analyzed.RESULTS:In this retrospective study, a total of 118 eyes from 118 myopic children were included. There were 28 eyes in 28 children in DOT group [16 males and 12 females, age 10(9, 12)y]. CARE group contained 26 eyes in 26 children, [12 males and 14 females, age 11(9, 12)y]. HAL group had 26 eyes in 26 children [16 males and 10 females, age 10(9, 11)y]. SVL group included 38 eyes in 38 children [20 males and 18 females, age 11(9, 12)y]. There were no significant differences in age, gender, baseline AL, or SE among the four groups(all P>0.05). After 1-year wearing, no increase and slight regression were observed in AL and SE in the DOT group, with no significant differences compared with baseline(all P>0.05). AL and SE increased to varying degrees in the CARE, HAL and SVL groups(all P<0.01). Significant inter-group differences were found in the changes of AL and SE(F=22.820, 30.949, both P<0.001). The mean changes in AL and SE for the DOT group(-0.034±0.180 mm, 0.040±0.243 D)were significantly smaller than those in the CARE group(0.225±0.174 mm, -0.375±0.308 D)and the HAL group(0.147±0.130 mm, -0.255±0.256 D). The changes of AL and SE in the three groups were significantly lower than those in the SVL group(0.355±0.240 mm, -0.891±0.592 D)(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: In children, short-term wear of spectacles with peripheral microstructural design demonstrates better myopia control efficacy compared to single-vision spectacles. DOT lenses show superior short-term efficacy compared with CARE and HAL lenses.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors,clinical characteristics and prognosis of the pneumocystis pneumonia(PCP) that is one of the severe pulmonary complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT).Methods:The clinical features,laboratory data,treatment and outcomes of patients with PCP after allo-HSCT in our hospital from January,2016 to January,2021 were retrospectively collected and analyzed.Results:Twenty three cases who met the clinical diagnostic criteria of PCP were enrolled. The median time of diagnosed as PCP after transplantation was 221 days. The computed tomography (CT) of chest indicated diffuse ground glass opacity.The median of β-1,3-D glucan consentration was 894.25 ng/L, and 91.3% of the cases were over 60 ng/L.The lymphocyte count in 60.9% cases was lower than 1×10 9/L;CD4 +T lymphocyte count in 65.2% of patients was less than 200/μL. Pneumocytis sequences of mNGS were positive in all 21 cases.15 patients were complicated with mixed infection.All patients were treated with TMP-SMX,18 patients were cured and 5 patients died. Conclusions:Patients with PCP after allo-HSCT progresses rapidly, and which is usually with multiple infections. Serum β-1,3-D glucan concentration increase contributes to the diagnosis of PCP.And mNGS in alveolar lavage fluid is highly sensitive to Pneumocystis, which helps patients get treatment in time, so as to reduce mortality.Patients with respiratory failure progressing to a need for mechanical ventilation and high flow oxygen inhalation suggest a poor prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the value of nuchal translucency (NT) thickness in the fetal chromosome abnormality screening. Methods 11 086 pregnant women received NT measurement in 11 ~ 13+6 weeks at Hainan general hospital from January 2010 to December 2014 were selected in the study. The NT thickness was measured according to guidelines from Fetal Medicine Foundation. 122 fetuses (NT≥2.5 mm) were recruited to accept karyotype analysis. Results 11 086 pregnant women received NT measurement in 11 ~13+6 weeks, in which 122 cases′ NT are more than or equal to 2.5 mm, with a positive rate of 1.10%. 122 cases of fetal NT thickening are between 2.5 to 12.0 mm, with the average degree at (4.5 ± 2.1)mm. 122 invasive prenatal diagnostic specimens chromosome karyotype analysis results showed chromosomal abnormalities in 21 cases (abnormal rate of 17.2%), the abnormal chromosome number in 17 cases and abnormal structure in 4 cases. The top 3 are trisomy 21 (12 cases, 57.1%), chromosome pericentric inversion (3 cases, 14.3%), and trisomy 18 (2 cases, 9.5%). Fetal chromosomal abnormalities resulting from different childbirth age, the sex of the fetus, NT thickness showed significant statistical difference (P < 0.05). The concrete manifestation is that fetal chromosomal anomaly detection rate in childbirth by women more than 35 years old age are higher than other age. Female fetal chromosomal anomaly detection rate is higher than the male , and NT thickness of 5mm of fetal chromosomal abnormality rate is significantly higher than the thickness of NT group at 2.5mm~ and 3.5mm~. Fetal NT thickening of NT measurements was in significant positive correlation with fetal chromosome abnormal rate (χ2=15.533, P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis found that with a higher NT thickness , risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities would be significantly higher , and thickening of NT could be an independent predictor of fetal chromosome abnormalities. Conclusion In early pregnancy, ultrasound examination of fetal ultrasound screening of NT thickness can be used as an important index of fetal chromosomal abnormality , and interventional diagnosis of prenatal NT thickness increase could pose increased risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities.
