AIM: To explore the control effects of wearing orthokeratology lens for 1 a on adolescent myopia patients with different diopters.METHODS: Prospective non-randomized controlled study. A total of 120 adolescent myopic patients(224 eyes), with an average age of 11.00±2.08 years old, who were fitted with orthokeratology lenses in the optometry department of our hospital from November 2022 to May 2023 were collected. There were 3 groups according to the spherical equivalent, including 86 eyes in the group of -0.50--2.00 D, 99 eyes in the group -2.25--4.00 D, and 39 eyes in group -4.25--6.00 D. Patients were followed up for 1 a to observe the changes of uncorrected visual acuity, axial length, corneal curvature, corneal central thickness and corneal endothelial cells density in the three groups after wearing lens for 1 a.RESULTS:A total of 113 cases(212 eyes)were followed up for 1 a, including 82 eyes in the group of -0.50--2.00 D, 95 eyes in the group of -2.25--4.00 D, and 35 eyes in the group of -4.25--6.00 D. There was no statistical difference in corneal central thickness and corneal endothelial cell density among the three groups of patients after wearing lens for 1 a(all P>0.05). Uncorrected visual acuity was significantly improved, and flat kerotometry(FK)and steep kerotometry(SK)were significantly flatter(both P<0.01). Furthermore, the growth of axial length in the three groups of patients after wearing lens for 1 a was 0.21±0.26, 0.13±0.21 and 0.09±0.10 mm, respectively(P<0.05). There were differences between the -0.50--2.00 D group and the -2.25--4.00 D group and -4.25--6.00 D group(P=0.028, 0.010), and there were no differences between the -2.25--4.00 D group and the -4.25--6.00 D group(P=0.344).CONCLUSION:It is safe and effective for young myopia patients to wear orthokeratology lenses, which can prevent the non-benign growth of the axial length and effectively delay the development of myopia, and the myopia control effect is better especially for myopia patients of above -2.0 D.

Objective:
To explore the impact of family function intervention on mental health status of middle school students, so as to provide the reference for promoting adolescent mental health.
Methods:
From October 2023 to January 2024, 44 families from grade 2 of one junior high school were recruited. They were randomly divided into an intervention group ( n =21) and a control group ( n =23) using a simple random sampling method. Both groups of families participated in various daily school activities and learning, but the intervention group of families also participated in 10 online family function intervention courses. Family Assessment Device (FAD) and the Middle School Student Mental Health Scale (MSSMHS) were used as evaluation tools. Pearson correlation analysis was used to test the correlation between FAD total scores of middle school students and the total mean scores of MSSMHS, and repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze FAD scores changes in various dimensions before and after intervention.
Results:
The total score of FAD in middle school students was positively correlated with the total average score of MSSMHS ( r= 0.44, P <0.01). Before intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the FAD scores (intervention group: 143.19 ±16.05, control group:144.87±22.40) and MSSMHS total average scores (intervention group: 1.69±0.46, control group: 1.77 ±0.59) between the two groups ( t=0.28, 0.53, P >0.05). After intervention, the main effect of time, group, and time group interaction of the interventions on the FAD total scores between the intervention group and the control group were statistically significant ( F=11.87, 7.26, 11.04, P <0.05). Further simple effects analysis revealed that the post test FAD total score of the intervention group (121.71±16.01) decreased by 21.48 points compared to the pre test and was lower than the post test total score of the control group (144.47±17.71), with statistically significant differences ( t=4.68, 4.11, P <0.05). The main effect of the group on the total mean MSSMHS score between the intervention and control groups was statistically significant ( F=8.45, P <0.05), while the main effect of time was not statistically significant ( F=1.68, P >0.05). Further comparative analysis revealed that the post test total mean score of MSSMHS in the intervention group (1.34±0.23) was lower than that in the control group (1.85±0.52) ( t=3.48, P <0.01).
Conclusion
Family function intervention can improve the mental health status of middle school students, and relevant measures should be actively taken to promote adolescent mental health.

Objective To understand the application effect of early screening scale and behavioral intervention effect in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods A total of 348 children with suspected ASD were selected and evaluated using the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) and Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC). The evaluation results were compared with those from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V). Children enrolled were given Early start Denver model (ESDM) intervention. The evaluation results of Gesell Developmental Scale and Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) scores were compared before and after intervention. Results The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Kappa value of M-CHAT for evaluating ASD in children aged 1-3 years were 89.53%, 90.70%, 89.92% and 0.78. The corresponding values of ABC were 78.49%, 81.40%, 79.46% and 0.56. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Kappa value of M-CHAT for evaluating children aged >3-6 years were 87.30%, 77.78%, 84.44% and 0.64. The corresponding values of ABC were 85.71%, 77.78%, 83.33% and 0.62. The sensitivity and accuracy of M-CHAT were higher than ABC for evaluating ASD in children aged 1-3 years (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in sensitivity, specificity and accuracy between M-CHAT and ABC for evaluating ASD in children aged 3-6 years (P>0.05). After intervention, development quotients (DQ) of personal-social aspects, adaptability, language, gross motor, and fine motor of children with ASD were higher than those before intervention (P<0.05). ATEC scores for language, behavior, sensation, and social contact of children with ASD were lower than those before intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion M-CHAT and ABC both can be used for early screening of ASD in children, especially M-CHAT. Early behavioral intervention can effectively improve the condition and developmental level of children with ASD.

Objective Logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of liver cancer in patients with hepatitis B virus-related cirrhosis. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 504 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis who were treated in a hospital from April 2021 to April 2024. The occurrence of liver cancer was counted. The risk factors of liver cancer in patients with HBV-related cirrhosis were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Results Among the 504 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis, 101 patients developed liver cancer and 403 patients did not develop liver cancer, which were included in the liver cancer group (n=101) and the non-liver cancer group (n=403).. Among hepatitis B cirrhosis, the incidence rate of liver cancer was 20.04%. Compared with the non-liver cancer group, the proportion of patients with long-term drinking history, family history of liver cancer, history of diabetes mellitus, antiviral therapy, and HBV-DNA load>104 were higher in the liver cancer group (P<0.05). logistic regression analysis found that long-term drinking history (OR=3.077, 95%CI: 1.130-8.378, P=0.028), history of diabetes mellitus (OR=3.747, 95%CI: 1.765-7.954, P=0.001), no antiviral therapy (OR=3.466, 95%CI: 1.337-8.985, P=0.011) and HBV-DNA load>104 (OR=3.149, 95%CI: 1.353-7.328, P=0.008) could independently affect the occurrence of liver cancer in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis. Conclusion According to logistic regression analysis, long-term drinking history, history of diabetes mellitus, no antiviral therapy, and HBV-DNA load>104 are risk factors for liver cancer in patients with HBV-related cirrhosis.

AIM: To assess the consistency of the new anterior segment analyzer, MS-39, the Sirius and Pentacam in measuring corneal white-to-white(WTW)and central anterior chamber depth(ACD), and to compare their differences in guiding implantable collamer lens(ICL)size selection.METHODS: Retrospective case study. A total of 210 consecutive patients(420 eyes)who treated at the Ophthalmology Refractive Surgery Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between September 2019 and September 2020 were enrolled. Three anterior segment analysis systems, MS-39, Sirius, and Pentacam, were utilized to assess the WTW and ACD, with comparative analysis of the results. The sizing of the ICL V4c was simulated using the method recommended by the STAAR company. Data correlation and consistency were evaluated.RESULTS: The WTW measurement results obtained from MS-39, Sirius, and Pentacam were 11.39±0.35, 11.42±0.36, and 11.46±0.35 mm, respectively. Notably, the WTW measurement value from MS-39 was significantly lower than that from Pentacam(P=0.002), while no statistically significant differences were observed between MS-39 and Sirius, or between Sirius and Pentacam(all P>0.05). The WTW measurements from the three devices exhibited a strong positive correlation, with correlation coefficients(r)of 0.942 between MS-39 and Sirius, 0.925 between MS-39 and Pentacam, and 0.882 between Sirius and Pentacam(all P<0.0001). The ACD measurements values from the MS-39, Sirius and Pentacam were 3.28±0.22, 3.28±0.24, and 3.21±0.23 mm, respectively. While, no statistically significant difference was found between MS-39 and Sirius(P>0.05), both measurements were significantly higher than that of Pentacam(both P<0.0001). The ACD measurements also demonstrated a strong positive correlation, with r values of 0.959 between MS-39 and Sirius, 0.947 between MS-39 and Pentacam, and 0.932 between Sirius and Pentacam(all P<0.0001). In terms of ICL size selection based on the measurements from the three devices, the 12.6 mm size was the most frequently selected, while the 13.7 mm size was the least common, the distribution of size selections across the devices was similar.CONCLUSION: MS-39 demonstrated strong positive correlation with both Sirius and Pentacam for WTW and ACD measurements, indicating that the results can be considered clinically interchangeable. Furthermore, the outcomes derived from MS-39 for ICL size selection were closely aligned with those from Sirius and Pentacam, suggesting its clinical feasibility.

ObjectiveTo investigate the immunomodulatory effect of polysaccharides from Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix herb pair(Qi-gui polysaccharides) on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced RAW264.7 macrophages and to characterize the structure of the active component Qi-gui homogeneous polysaccharide(AAPS-4a), and evaluate its protective effect on ulcerative colitis(UC). MethodsThe effects of six Qi-gui polysaccharides(0.01-100 mg·L-1) on the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells were assessed by cell proliferation and activity assay(CCK-8), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to investigate the effects of the six polysaccharides(3, 10 mg·L-1) on the secretion levels of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α, interferon(IFN)-β, and nitric oxide(NO) in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. After screening for active polysaccharides, high-performance size-exclusion chromatography(HPSEC) was used to determine its homogeneity and relative molecular weight, then its characteristic functional groups were identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), monosaccharide composition was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC), methylation analysis combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) was performed to determine the types and linkage modes of sugar residues, and one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) were used to identify the sugar residue composition and configuration of the active polysaccharide. Finally, experimental animals were divided into the normal group, model group, AAPS-4a low-dose group(50 mg·kg-1), AAPS-4a high-dose group(100 mg·kg-1), and sulfasalazine(SASP) group (75 mg·kg-1). Except for the normal group, the acute UC mouse model was induced using 3.5% dextran sulfate sodium salt(DSS). Each treatment group was administered the corresponding dose via oral gavage for 7 days, and changes in body weight were recorded. After treatment, the spleen index and disease activity index(DAI) score were calculated, TNF-α and interleukin-6(IL-6) levels in the serum were detected by ELISA, and histopathological changes in colon tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining. ResultsAt the cellular level, AAPS-4a exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of LPS-induced increases in TNF-α, IFN-β, and NO levels(P<0.01). Structural characterization of AAPS-4a revealed that it was a homogeneous polysaccharide with a relative molecular weight of 7.6×103 Da, consisting of mannose(Man), glucose(Glc), and galactose(Gal) in a molar ratio of 1.3∶23.9∶1.0. It was primarily composed of five sugar residues of 1,6-α-D-Glcp, T-α-D-Glcp, 1,3-β-D-Galp, 1,4-α-D-Manp, and 1,2-α-D-Galp. In vivo experiments showed that compared with the normal group, the model group demonstrated markedly increased DAI score and spleen index, significantly reduced colon length, and significantly elevated levels of TNF-α and IL-6(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the AAPS-4a high-dose group significantly reduced the DAI score and spleen index, as well as TNF-α and IL-6 levels, and improved colonic atrophy(P<0.05, P<0.01). Pathological observations showed that AAPS-4a significantly inhibited inflammatory cell infiltration in colon tissue and alleviated pathological damage. ConclusionAAPS-4a, a neutral homogeneous polysaccharide composed of 1,6-α-D-Glcp, T-α-D-Glcp, 1,3-β-D-Galp, 1,4-α-D-Manp and 1,2-α-D-Galp, is identified as a key bioactive component contributing to the anti-UC effect of the Qi-gui herb pair. Its immunoregulatory and anti-UC properties suggest its potential as a therapeutic agent for UC.

Objective To analyze the pollution characteristics of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in atmospheric PM2.5 in Yanta District and Lianhu District of Xi'an City, and assess their health risks to exposed populations through inhalation pathways. Methods From 2020 to 2022, monitoring sites were set up in Yanta District and Lianhu District of Xi'an City, and PM2.5 samples were collected regularly every month. The mass concentrations of PAHs were determined. The analysis and evaluation were carried out according to different years, regions, and seasons. The sources of PAHs in the atmosphere were identified by calculating characteristic ratios. Health risk assessments through inhalation routes were conducted for certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their total carcinogenic equivalent concentrations. Results The average mass concentrations of PAHs in Yanta District and Lianhu District were 6.38 ng/m3 and 6.06 ng/m3, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Except for fluoranthene, there was no statistically significant difference in other PAHs between regions (P>0.05). Except for acenaphthylene and anthracene, the concentrations of other PAHs showed a decreasing trend year by year (P<0.05). The total mass concentration of PAHs in both urban areas showed a trend of winter>spring>autumn>summer (P<0.05), and all categories of PAHs showed the highest levels in winter and the lowest levels in summer (P<0.05). The proportion of 5-ring PAHs was the highest in summer, while the proportion of 4-ring PAHs was the highest in winter. The main sources of atmospheric PAHs in the two districts were a mixture of coal combustion, motor vehicle emissions, and biomass burning. The HQ values of benzo[a]pyrene and TEQs in both districts were less than 1. The carcinogenic risk through inhalation pathways for TEQs was 1.15×10-6, exceeding the acceptable level (1×10-6). Conclusion The pollution of PAHs in Yanta District and Lianhu District of Xi'an City continues to decrease, with seasonal differences. The main sources are mixed sources of coal combustion, motor vehicle emissions, and biomass burning, and overall PAHs pose a potential carcinogenic risk to residents.

Objective To explore the occurrence and development trajectories of symptoms at different time points in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP), and to analyze the influencing factors and preventive measures of development trajectories of AP symptom clusters. Methods A convenient sampling method was used to select AP who were admitted from January 2023 to December 2023 were selected and included in the study. The symptoms at different time points were recorded. The severities of symptom clusters in AP patients were explored, and the development trajectories of main symptom clusters were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the influencing factors of development trajectories of symptom clusters in AP patients. Results The incidence rates of abdominal pain, dry mouth, abdominal distension and lack of energy were higher in AP patients during hospitalization. The incidence rates of lack of energy, anxiety, abdominal pain and sleep disturbance were higher on the 1st month after discharge. The incidence rates of abdominal distension, abdominal pain, sleep disturbance and anxiety were higher on the 3rd month after discharge. The incidence rates of anxiety, abdominal pain and irritability were higher on the 6th month after discharge. The fatigue symptom cluster, psychological symptom cluster and gastrointestinal symptom cluster were extracted during hospitalization and on the 1st month and the 3rd month after discharge, and the psychological symptom cluster and gastrointestinal symptom cluster were extracted on the 6th month. The severity scores of symptom clusters at each time point were statistically different (P<0.05). The development of gastrointestinal symptom cluster in AP patients was mainly low decline. The development of psychological symptom cluster was mainly high decline. Drinking history and diabetes mellitus were the influencing factors of development trajectory of gastrointestinal symptom cluster in AP patients (P<0.05). High disease severity, drinking history and biliary tract disease were the influencing factors of development trajectory of psychological symptom cluster in AP patients (P<0.05). Conclusion The symptom clusters of AP patients changes over time, with digestive, fatigue, and psychological symptoms being the main groups in the early stage, and psychological and digestive symptoms persisting in the later stage. Early identification and intervention are crucial for improving the prognosis of AP patients.
