AIM: To investigate the abnormal conditions and change patterns of accommodative facility in patients with different refractive states before and after small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)surgery.METHODS:A prospective clinical cohort study was conducted. A total of 59 patients(118 eyes)who underwent SMILE surgery and had visual function files established in our hospital from June to December 2023 were randomly selected, including 37 males and 22 females, aged 18-35 years(with an average age of 25.19±5.65 years). According to the preoperative spherical equivalent(SE), they were divided into two groups: the low-to-moderate myopia group(SE≥-6.00 DS)with 40 patients(80 eyes), and the high myopia group(SE<-6.00 DS)with 19 patients(38 eyes). The monocular and binocular accommodative facility before surgery and at 1 wk and 1 mo after surgery were compared, and the changes in accommodative facility before and after SMILE surgery in the two groups of patients were analyzed.RESULTS:All surgeries were completed successfully. In the low-to-moderate myopia group, 33 cases(66 eyes)completed the 1-month follow-up after surgery, with a loss to follow-up rate of 17.5%(7/40). In the high myopia group, 15 patients(30 eyes)completed the 1-month follow-up after surgery, with a loss to follow-up rate of 21.1%(4/19). After SMILE surgery, the uncorrected visual acuity and SE of both low-to-moderate myopia and high myopia were significantly improved(all P<0.05). The accommodative facility of the right eyes in all the patients at 1 mo after surgery was better than that before surgery and at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.002, 0.006), the accommodative facility of the left eyes was significantly increased at 1 mo after surgery than that at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.005), and the binocular accommodative facility at 1 mo after surgery was significantly increased compared with that before surgery(P<0.017). Furthermore, there were statistical significance in accommodative facility of the right eyes in the low-to-moderate group at 1 mo compared with that before surgery and at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.011, 0.004); it was significantly increased in the left eyes at 1 mo after surgery compared with that at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.001), and binocular accommodative facility at 1 mo after surgery was significantly better than that before surgery(P<0.001). Furthermore, there was no statistical significance in the right, left and binocular accommodative facility of patients in the high myopia group(all P>0.017).CONCLUSION: After SMILE surgery, the monocular accommodative facility shows a transient decrease and then exceeds the preoperative level at 1 mo after surgery, and the binocular accommodative facility gradually improves after surgery. SMILE surgery has a positive impact on the monocular and binocular accommodative facility in patients with low-to-moderate myopia, but has no significant impact on the accommodative facility in patients with high myopia. It is of clinical significance to strengthen the detection of monocular and binocular accommodative facility before and after SMILE surgery.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between lifestyle and myopia and construct Nomogram model to predict myopia risk among primary school students in Tianjin, so as to provide a scientific basis for precision myopia prevention and control.
Methods:
From April to July of 2022, a census method was used to conduct vision testing and lifestyle related questionnaires among 373 180 primary school students in 15 districts of Tianjin. The relationship between lifestyle and myopia was analyzed by the multivariate Logistic regression, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed to predict myopia risk.
Results:
The detection rate of myopia among primary school students in Tianjin was 37.6%. The results of the multivariate Logistic regression showed that daily outdoor activity time of 1-2 h ( OR =0.94) and >2 h ( OR =0.84), time of using daily electronic devices of >2 h ( OR =1.03), daily paper materials reading and writing time of 1-2 h ( OR =1.02) and >2 h ( OR =1.09), weekly fresh vegetable intake of 2-6 times ( OR =0.93) and ≥7 times ( OR =0.88) were statistically correlated with myopia ( P <0.01). The Nomogram prediction model showed that the factors associated with myopia were grade, family history of myopia, gender, daily outdoor activity time, weekly frequency of fresh vegetable intake, daily paper materials reading and writing time, and time of using daily electronic devices time.
Conclusions
The lifestyle of primary school students in Tianjin is associated with myopia. The constructed nomogram model could provide a scientific basis for identifying key intervention populations for myopia prevention and taking targeted prevention and control measures.

Objective:To investigate the expression levels of serum KLK5, IL-17 and IL-18 in patients with rosacea and their clinical significance.Methods:A prospective study included 65 patients with rosacea from the Department of Dermatology, Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, from May to October 2022. There were 8 males and 57 females with an average age of (30.9±9.8) years, including 47 cases of erythematotelangiectatic type and 18 cases of papulopustular type. Twenty healthy individuals from the same hospital's physical examination during the same period were included as control group, consisting of 3 males and 17 females with an average age of (33.8±10.0) years. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the expression levels of serum KLK5, IL-17, and IL-18. Investigator's global assessment (IGA) score was used to assess the severity of papules and pustules, and clinical erythema assessment (CEA) score was used to assess the severity of persistent erythema. The expression levels of serum KLK5, IL-17, and IL-18 were compared between the two groups, and the correlation between the severity of the disease and the expression levels of KLK5, IL-17, and IL-18 was analyzed. Additionally, the expression levels of KLK5, IL-17, and IL-18 in different subtypes of rosacea were compared.Results:The expression levels of serum KLK5, IL-17, and IL-18 in the rosacea group were (3134.01±448.82), (154.78±37.64), (236.24±38.81) pg/ml, respectively, all of which were higher than those in the healthy control group (2421.54±340.07), (95.36±24.94), (181.61±23.88) pg/ml, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). The levels of serum KLK5, IL-17, and IL-18 in patients with rosacea were positively correlated with IGA scores ( r=0.534, 0.767, 0.417) and CEA scores ( r=0.852, 0.459, 0.309) (all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the expression levels of serum KLK5, IL-17, and IL-18 between the erythematotelangiectatic and papulopustular subtypes of rosacea (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The expression levels of serum KLK5, IL-17 and IL-18 in patients with rosacea are higher than those in the healthy control group and are positively correlated with the severity of rosacea.

Objective To provide a reference for the selection of frailty assessment tools for stroke patients by conducting a literature review of existing frailty assessment tools for stroke patients. Methods Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, SinoMed, Wanfang, VIP, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) databases from their inception to May 2023. The literature that met the research purpose and question were screened, and the basic information of each article, including the first author, publication year, country of publication, type of research design, name of the assessment tool, dimensions of scale, the number of items, and assessment time, was extracted. Results A total of 1, 729 articles were retrieved in this study. After multiple screenings, 22 articles (including 8 frailty assessment tools) were ultimately included. The analysis results showed that the evaluation indicators, evaluation time, and evaluation methods of the 8 frailty assessment tools were different and had their own advantages and disadvantages. Among them, the frailty index was the most commonly used frailty assessment tool for stroke patients. The selection of effective frailty assessment tools for stroke patients is essential for strengthening prestroke risk stratification and improving poststroke outcomes. Conclusion There are significant differences among different frailty assessment tools, and existing assessment tools have limitations in measuring frailty in stroke patients. Comprehensive assessments should be conducted in combination with clinicians' experience and judgment. New frailty assessment tools are needed in future research to better guide the rehabilitation treatment and management of stroke patients.

ObjectiveTo observe the intervention effect of Chaihu and Longgu Mulitang (CLMT) on rat depression model prepared by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) based on cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA)/cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB)-brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling pathway. MethodSixty SD rats were divided into normal group, model group, and CLMT low-, medium- and high-dose groups and fluoxetine group (positive control) according to random number table. They, except the normal group, were treated with CUMS for 49 days to prepare the rat depression model. The CLMT low-, medium- and high-dose groups were given 2.89, 5.78 11.56 g·kg-1 of CHMD granules, respectively, and the fluoxetine group was given 2.06 mg·kg-1 of fluoxetine hydrochloride on the 29th day. The normal group and the model group received equal volume of normal saline for 21 days. The behavioral performance of rats were observed by open field test and forced swim test. The levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE) and cAMP in rat hippocampus were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA expressions of PKA, CREB, and BDNF in rat hippocampus were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), and the protein expressions of PKA and BDNF were detected by Western blot. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of CREB, and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and Nissl staining were used to observe the morphological changes of hippocampus. ResultCompared with the conditions in the normal group, the immobility time of the model group in the forced swim test was increased (P<0.01) and the total movement distance, residence time in central area, number of entries in central area and movement distance in central area were decreased (P<0.01). Additionally, the contents of 5-HT, NE and cAMP in hippocampus of the model group as well as the protein expressions of PKA, BDNF and CRE,the mRNA expressions of BDNF and CREB were lower than those in the normal group (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the CLMT groups had reduced immobility time (P<0.01), elevated total movement distance, residence time in central area, number of entries in central area and movement distance in central area (P<0.05, P<0.01), up-regulated contents of 5-HT, NE and cAMP in hippocampus (P<0.05, P<0.01), and up-regulated protein expressions of PKA, BDNF and CREB and mRNA expressions of BDNF and CREB (P<0.01). HE staining and Nissl staining showed that CLMT significantly improved the neuronal structure in rat hippocampus. ConclusionCLMT alleviates the anxiety and depression of rats. These effects may be mediated by regulating monoamine neurotransmitters 5-HT and NE in hippocampus of depressed rats, activating cAMP/PKA/CREB/BDNF signaling pathway, up-regulating the expression of BDNF and protecting hippocampal structure and function .

ObjectiveTo explore the mental health status and relevant factors among community residents during the normalization stage of prevention and control of COVID-19. MethodsFrom August 28 to September 7, 2020, an online cross-sectional survey using snowball sampling was conducted among community residents via Wenjuanxing platform, and their mental health status were assessed using Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item(PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 item(GAD-7), Insomnia Severity Index(ISI) and Chinese Perceived Stress Scale(CPSS). ResultsAmong the 476 community residents, the detection rates of depression, anxiety, insomnia and high perceived stress were 32.35%, 21.22%, 24.58% and 48.74%, respectively. In terms of gender, the detection rate of high perceived stress was higher in male than in female(χ2=5.269); in terms of marital status, the detection rates of depression and anxiety among the unmarried, divorced or widowed residents was higher than those of the married residents(χ2=5.251, 8.851); in terms of mental health service status, the detection rates of depression, anxiety, insomnia and high perceived stress among residents with mental health service needs was higher than those among residents without the needs(χ2=46.316, 66.934, 20.153, 21.576), with statistical significance(P<0.05 or 0.01). Correlation analysis showed that the age of community residents was negatively correlated with CPSS score(r=-0.171, P<0.01), sleep duration was negatively correlated with PHQ-9, GAD-7 and ISI scores(r=-0.210, -0.247, -0.297, P<0.01), and time spent following news on COVID-19 per day was negatively correlated with ISI score(r=-0.097, P<0.05). ConclusionDuring the normalization stage of prevention and control of COVID-19, the majority of community residents experience the symptoms of depression, anxiety, insomnia and high perceived stress. Male and younger residents are more likely to experience high levels of perceived stress. Those with shorter sleep duration and needs for mental health services are more likely to experience symptoms of depression, anxiety and insomnia, and those with short time spent following news on COVID-19 are more likely to experience insomnia symptom.
