Objective:To analyze the therapeutic effect of a virtual reality (VR)-based accommodation training device on accommodative excess visual fatigue.Methods:A case-control study was conducted.A total of 20 normal subjects (20 eyes) and 20 patients with accommodative excess visual fatigue (20 eyes) were recruited at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University between January and December 2022.The study consisted of two phases.In the first phase, the effect of watching videos with VR glass on the subjects' subjective and objective visual function was evaluated.Normal subjects wore VR device to watch a 2D video for 30 minutes, and assessments were performed before and after viewing.These assessments included binocular accommodation/convergence function (accommodation response, accommodative convergence to accommodation ratio [AC/A]), tear film function (first tear film break-up time), subjective symptoms (visual fatigue score), and basic visual health parameters including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intraocular pressure (IOP).In the second phase, the improvement in subjective and objective visual fatigue metrics with the VR-based accommodation training device was investigated.Patients with visual fatigue were divided into a traditional training group using traditional flipper lenses and a VR training group using the VR accommodation training device, with 10 eyes in each group.The effects of the VR accommodation training device on indicators such as accommodative sensitivity, accommodation response, convergence function, visual fatigue score, acceptability score, system usability score, BCVA, and IOP were evaluated and compared between the two groups.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University (No.IIT2021007).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:In normal subjects, there was no statistically significant difference in first tear film break-up time, distance phoria, near phoria, AC/A, accommodative response, BCVA, or IOP before and after 30 minutes of continuous viewing of 2D video using VR glass ( t=1.155, 1.360, 4.479, 1.979, -1.249, -3.017, 2.211; all P>0.05).The visual fatigue score remained unchanged at (1.00±0.00) points before and after viewing.Among the subjects with visual fatigue, there were statistically significant differences in binocular accommodative sensitivity, dominant eye accommodative sensitivity, and BCVA before and after using the VR accommodation training device ( F=8.693, 4.078, 4.942; all P<0.05).Ocular accommodation sensitivity at 8 weeks after training was improved compared with 1 week after training, and BCVA at 4 weeks after training was improved compared with before training, and the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05).In the VR training group, the average tear film break-up time, first tear film break-up time, and BCVA increased and the visual fatigue score decreased compared with before training, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).In the traditional training group, the accommodation sensitivity of the dominant eye increased after training compared with before training, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Watching 2D videos with VR glass for 30 minutes does not induce subjective or objective symptoms of visual fatigue.The VR-based accommodation training paradigm effectively improves accommodative sensitivity and alleviates subjective symptoms of visual fatigue in individuals with accommodative excess visual fatigue.

Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2024;42(12):1155-1162
Virtual reality (VR) technology is a kind of computer simulation system that can create and let users experience virtual three-dimensional scenes, and can provide users with a variety of sensory information.In recent years, as the most basic technical support for the concept of " metaverse", which integrates virtual world, augmented reality and shared virtual space of the Internet, the application of VR technology in various fields has ushered in new opportunities and challenges.VR technology has always had many influences on visual health.On the one hand, VR technology, combined with its technical advantages such as environmental immersion and three-dimensional imaging, provides people with the key to the " metaverse" and can also provide behavioral assistance for low-vision people or play an important role in rehabilitation training for patients with oblique amblyopia.On the other hand, long-time use of VR devices may cause users to experience adjustment-convergence conflicts, which may lead to subjective visual fatigue, and may cause users to have related adverse effects such as dry eye symptoms.This article provides a comprehensive summary of the impact of virtual reality technology on visual health and the current state of related research.It aims to enhance academic attention to the application of virtual reality in ophthalmology and provide guidance for its implementation in ophthalmology and visual health.

OBJECTIVE
To provide reference for improving the construction of China's emergency drugs supply guarantee mechanism.
METHODS
Based on the 4R model, the literature research method was used to carry out a systematic analysis of the management measures and operation of emergency drugs in China and the United States in four stages: reduction, readiness, response and recovery, and to make a side-by-side comparison.
RESULTS
The flexibility of the United States in its legal system had contributed to the maturity of strategic national stockpile, with a dedicated Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response responsible for the implementation and management of the entire supply process, focusing on the development of information systems and the maintenance of physical stockpiles. In contrast, China's national pharmaceutical reserve emphasized its respective roles and responsibilities, with joint management of institutions, and the reserve tasks and transportation and distribution were mainly undertaken by enterprises, which provided more room for operation in the overall supply process, but the regulatory rules for enterprises had yet to be further improved.
CONCLUSION
It is recommended that China, on the basis of its own national conditions, draw on the characteristics and experience of the United States strategic national stockpile, improve and perfect the relevant laws and regulations as soon as possible, build a management system with an efficient management organization at its core, supplemented by an information management system, and at the same time, assist in promoting the virtuous cycle of rotational stockpiling by enterprises, and actively carry out summary and assessment work, in order to promote the optimization and development of the mechanism of guaranteeing the supply of emergency drugs in the long term.

OBJECTIVE To explore in vitro dissolution and in vivo pharmacokinetics of Luteolin solid dispersion in Beagle dogs. METHODS The dissolution of Luteolin solid dispersion was investigated according to the second method (paddle method) of the “dissolution determination method” in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (Part Ⅳ). UPLC-MS/MS method was established to determine the concentration of luteolin in the plasma of Beagle dogs. Twelve Beagle dogs were randomly divided into luteolin group and Luteolin solid dispersion group, with 6 dogs in each group. They were given relevant medicine orally at the dose of 10 mg/kg luteolin. Blood was collected before medication (0 h), at 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 min and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48 h after administration. After protein precipitation with acetonitrile, the blood concentration of luteolin in Beagle dogs was determined by UPLC-MS/MS and the major pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with non-compartmental models by using DAS 3.2.8 pharmacokinetic software. RESULTS The dissolutions of Luteolin solid dispersion in purified water and 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate solution was significantly higher than those of luteolin; the dissolution rate reached 95% in 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate solution for 120 minutes. The peak concentration (cmax) of luteolin in the Luteolin solid dispersion group of Beagle dogs was 5.62 times higher than the luteolin group, and the relative bioavailability was 348%. Compared with luteolin group, cmax and the area under the drug time curve of luteolin in the Luteolin solid dispersion group of Beagle dogs were significantly increased, while the apparent distribution volume was significantly reduced (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Luteolin solid dispersion can improve in vitro dissolution and bioavailability of luteolin in Beagle dogs.

Objective:To explore the relationship between blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio and frailty in the elderly aged ≥65 years in 8 longevity areas in China.Methods:Participants were recruited from the Healthy Aging and Biomarkers Cohort Study. Based on baseline information about blood urea nitrogen and risk for frailty obtained at follow-up of the participants, blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio was classified according to quintiles, Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to analyze the association between blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio and frailty.Results:A total of 1 562 participants aged (81.0±17.0) years were included, in whom 814 (52.1%) were men, and 258 frailty events occurred during a mean follow-up of (3.73±1.43) years. Cox proportional hazards model showed that after adjusting for relevant confounders, compared with the participants in the lowest quintile group ( Q1), the risk for frailty decreased by 36%, 44%, and 40% in the participants in the third quintile group ( Q3), the fourth quintile group ( Q4) and the highest quintile group ( Q5) respectively [hazard ratio ( HR)=0.64, 95% CI: 0.43-0.94; HR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.38-0.84; HR=0.60, 95% CI: 0.41-0.88]. The risk for frailty decreased by 20% for every unit standard deviation increase in blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio ( HR=0.80, 95% CI: 0.70-0.91). Moreover, blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio and the risk for frailty showed a nearly linear dose-response relationship. Conclusions:The increase in blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio was associated with higher risk for frailty. Maintaining high blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio is important for the prevention of frailty in the elderly.
