AIM: To analyze the corneal morphological characteristics of school-age children, and provide reference for the examination of refractive errors, corneal lesions, and treatment in school-age children.METHODS: Children aged 6-12 years in our hospital from March 2020 to June 2023 were included as the research objects, and they are divided into emmetropia group(-0.25 D≤SE≤+0.25 D)and myopia group(-6.00 D≤SE<-0.25 D)according to spherical equivalent(SE). The flat curvature(K1), steep curvature(K2), mean curvature(Km), radius of curvature(Rm), white-to-white(WTW)and corneal central thickness(CCT)were measured by Pentacam anterior segment analyzer. The corneal morphological differences between the emmetropia group and myopia group, boys and girls and children of different ages were analyzed.RESULTS: In the emmetropia group, the anterior corneal surface Km was 42.84±0.61 D, Rm was 7.85±0.15 mm, the posterior corneal surface Km was -6.23±0.04 D, Rm was 6.77±0.15 mm, WTW was 11.89±0.28 mm, CCT was 557.77±22.44 μm; in the myopia group, Km was 43.68±0.62 D, Rm was 7.72±0.16 mm, Km was -6.49±0.03 D, Rm was 6.64±0.17 mm, WTW was 12.17±0.27 mm, CCT was 553.24±22.23 μm. There was significant difference in corneal morphology between the emmetropia group and the myopia group(both P<0.01). Correlation analysis showed that corneal morphology was significantly correlated with age and gender.CONCLUSION: The corneal morphology of school-age children is not fixed, and the occurrence of myopia is not only related to the growth of axial length, but also significantly related to the changes of corneal morphology.

This article summarizes and organizes relevant publications in journals, along with a review of medical history, systematically summarizing the development process of dental alveolar surgery in China. The initial establishment phase (1935—1952) marked the starting point of Chinese Alveolar Surgery. Despite the impact of wars, it laid the foundation for subsequent research and practice. During the early development phase (1953—1966), the "Chinese Journal of Stomatology" was founded, which promoted the development of Alveolar Surgery. Research focused on tooth extraction methods and complications. Tooth Transplantation and Preprosthetic Surgery gradually began to take off. The stagnant phase (1967—1977) occurred due to the interruption of international exchanges, leading to an almost complete halt in the development of Alveolar Surgery. Entering the rapid catch-up phase (1978—1985), Alveolar Surgery scholars in China began striving to overcome the stagnation of the previous decade. While some progress was made, no significant innovative achievements emerged. In the scientific development phase (1986—2010), clinical research, basic experiments, and paper writing in modern Chinese Alveolar Surgery began to adhere to scientific standards with the rise of experimental medicine. The exploration and innovation stage (2011—2023) is the current development phase, during which Chinese Aveolar Surgery has reached its peak, making substantial progress in technology, clinical practices, and basic research, gradually reaching or even surpassing international advanced levels. Looking back at the development history in China, we can find the wisdom and hard work of the older generation of Alveolar Surgery scholars. However, contemporary challenges and issues, such as standardizing technology, promoting clinical practices, and talent cultivation, need to be addressed by present-day Alveolar Surgery professionals as they forge ahead.

Objective:To analyze the positive detection rate, main genotypes of β-thalassemia in western region of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (referred to as Guangxi).Methods:Retrospective analysis of 26 189 individuals who underwent gene testing for thalassemia at the Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities from January 2013 to December 2019. Using the crossing breakpoint PCR (Gap-PCR) and reverse dot blot (RDB) techniques to detect Chinese common type of 7 kinds of α-thalassemia and 17 kinds of β-thalassemia genotypes, high-throughput sequencing(Sanger) was performed for suspected rare β-thalassemia. Gap-PCR was used for suspected deletion β-thalassemia types.Results:β-thalassemia was diagnosed in 4 495 (17.16%) of 26 189 samples. A total of 6 177 alleles of 20 types of β-thalassemia were detected, mainly CD17 (2 712 cases, 43.90%) and CD41-42 (2 240 cases, 36.26%), including 7 rare alleles: Gγ +( Aγδβ) 0, SEA-HPFH, Hb New York, Hb G-Taipei, Hb Hezhou, Hb G-Coushatta and IVS-Ⅱ-81. There were 3 903 case (86.83%) heterozygous, 273 case (6.07%) double heterozygous, and 319 case (7.10%) homozygous among 4 495 β-thalassaemia subjects. A total of 48 genotypes were detected. The two most common genotypes were CD17/β N (1 890 cases, 42.05%) and CD41-42/β N (1 212 cases, 26.96%), accounted for 69.01% (3 102/4 495). Seven rare genotypes were detected: Gγ +( Aγδβ) 0/β N in 3 cases, Hb New York/β N in 3 cases, Hb G-Taipei/β N in 2 cases, SEA-HPFH/β N, Hb Hezhou/β N, Hb G-Coushatta/β N and IVS-Ⅱ-81/β N in 1 case each. A total of 1 041 cases (3.97%, 1 041/26 189) of 116 types of αβ-thalassemia were detected, mainly -- SEA/αα composite CD17/β N (144 cases, 13.83%), followed by -α 3.7/αα composite CD17/β N (112 cases, 10.76%). Conclusions:Western region of Guangxi is a high prevalence area of β-thalassemia, CD17/β N and CD41-42/β N are the main genotypes. The variation spectrum of β-thalassemia is complex and diverse, with rich genotype.

ObjectiveTo explore the suitability of four qualitative research methods in the development of TCM scale. MethodsTaking the development of "Seven Emotions Scale" as an example, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 31 patients of emotional disorders and 10 healthy people by objective sampling, and collected psychological feelings and emotional cognition data related to seven emotions according to the interview outline. Two qualitative methods, descriptive qualitative research and descriptive phenomenology, were used to analyze the data and construct the item library of the scale. The conceptual framework of the scale was constructed by using commonly used grounded theory and frame analysis. ResultsDuring data analysis, it is found that the themes extracted from descriptive phenomenology were not easily understood by the interviewees, and it is difficult for the researchers to truly achieve the "suspension" required by phenomenology. Considering the feasibility and convenience of the researchers' actual operation, as well as whether the initial purpose of the scale research can be intuitively included in the interviewees' views and feelings, descriptive phenomenology is not suitable for the formation of scale items. Using descriptive qualitative research method to analyze the interview data of healthy people and patients with emotional disorders, 306 and 476 scale items were obtained respectively. Through grounded theory, five selective codes were obtained: physical symptoms, external manifestations, psychological feelings, behaviors and emotional control. Using frame analysis, four themes including physical symptoms, psychological feelings, behavior and emotional cognition were constructed. Both methods can be used to construct the conceptual frame of scale, but the framework analysis is more convenient and can better ensure the transparency of the research. ConclusionDescriptive qualitative research methods can be used to form the item library of TCM scales. Framework analysis is more suitable for the construction of the conceptual framework of the scale than grounded theory, while descriptive phenomenology is not suitable for the development of TCM scales.
