Objective To compare the effectiveness of Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (DIMS) and High Aspheric Lenslet (HAL) defocus lenses in controlling myopia. Methods A total of 214 children and adolescents who were fitted with defocus lenses (DIMS or HAL) in our hospital from January to June 2023 were selected, including 100 cases in DIMS group and 114 cases in the HAL group. Changes in parameters such as spherical lens power, cylindrical lens power, spherical equivalent (SE), corneal curvature (K), axial length (AL), binocular accommodative response (BCC), positive/negative relative accommodation (PRA/NRA), distance/near latent phoria (DLP/NLP), and accommodative convergence to accommodation ratio (AC/A) were compared between the two groups before wearing and after wearing the lenses for 6 months, and the effectiveness of myopia control between DIMS and HAL was further compared. Results After wearing the lenses (DIMS or HAL) for 6 months, the average increase in axial length was (0.09±0.14) mm, the average increase in spherical lens power was (-0.11±0.23) D, the average increase in astigmatism was (-0.07±0.16) DC, and the average increase in spherical equivalent was (-0.15±0.24) D, with statistically significant differences observed for all these changes (

Objective:To investigate the difference in the efficacy of extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) and subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy (SSO) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).Methods:Forty patients (51 hips) who underwent primary THA for Crowe type IV DDH from April 2012 to August 2020 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were classified into ETO (extended greater trochanteric osteotomy) group and SSO(subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy) group. There were 12 patients (14 hips) in the ETO group, with 3 males and 9 females, aged 49.9±16.7 years old (range, 22-75 years old) and 28 patients (37 hips) in the SSO group, with 7 males and 21 females, aged 50.3±14.0 years (range, 22-76 years). In both groups, Harris hip score (HHS), leg length discrepancy, limp, Trendelenburg sign were used to evaluate the functional results and anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvis were taken at each follow-up to assess bone healing at the osteotomy site, periprosthetic osteolysis, bone ingrowth and periprosthetic loosening. Complications were recorded and analyzed.Results:All 51 hips were followed up for at least 24 months. The operative time and total blood loss was 116.8±14.2 vs. 128.3±19.2 min and 650.8±191.4 vs. 808.3±151.3 ml in the ETO group and the SSO group with significant difference ( t=2.04, P=0.047; t=3.08, P=0.003) respectively. At the follow-up of 24 months the HHS of ETO and SSO groups were 94.8±6.3 vs. 93.9±4.9 points and the leg length discrepancy was 4.6±2.2 vs. 5.2±3.0 mm. The positive rate of Trendelenburg's sign was 7% vs. 16% and the incidence of limp was 17% vs. 29% in the ETO group and the SSO group with no significant difference ( t=0.54, P=0.591; t=0.68, P=0.499; P=0.657; P=0.693). The length of femoral shortening in the ETO group and SSO group was 30.8±4.1 vs 35.3±7.9 mm with significant difference ( t=2.02, P=0.049). Time for bone healing at the osteotomy site was 5.8±1.5 vs. 6.0±1.4 months and the incidence of intraoperative femoral fractures was 36% and vs. 65% with no significant difference ( t=0.45, P=0.657; χ 2=3.52, P=0.061). Bone in-growth (or bone on-growth) fixation was obtained for all acetabular and femoral prostheses, with no hips of prosthesis displacement, periprosthetic osteolysis, or dislocation. Conclusion:Total hip arthroplasty for Crowe type IV DDH can achieve satisfactory clinical efficacy with similar functional recovery and rate of complication in extended trochanteric osteotomy and subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy. However, the extended greater trochanter osteotomy can reduce the operation time, blood loss and length of femoral shortening.

Objective:To investigate the microstructural abnormalities of the white matter in first-episode medication-free patients with schizophrenia (FESZ) based on inter-voxel diffusivity metric local diffusion homogeneity (LDH) and traditional intra-voxel diffusivity metric.Methods:A total of 56 FESZ patients admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as research subjects, and 64 healthy volunteers recruited during the same period were selected as healthy controls. All subjects accepted magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging, and the LDH, anisotropy fraction (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), axial diffusivity (AD) and radial diffusivity (RD) were obtained by FSL and PANDA software. Tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) method was employed to analyze and compare the differences in the diffusivity metrics of white matter fibers between the two groups. For white matter fiber tracts with significant inter-group differences, receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of each diffusivity metric in FESZ, and Spearman partial correlation was used to analyze the relation between each diffusivity metric and positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS) scores.Results:As compared with that in the heathy control group, LDH in partial voxel clusters in bilateral anterior thalamic radiation of the FESZ group was statistically increased ( P<0.05, FWE correction). As compared with that in the heathy control group, the mean LDH in the tracts of interest (TOI) of the right inferior longitudinal fasciculus and the right uncinate fasciculus in the FESZ group was significantly increased ( P<0.05, FDR correction). In the above 4 fasciculi, ROC analysis showed that LDH had diagnostic efficacy ( P<0.05), and the diagnostic efficacy of LDH was the highest when the fasciculi structures were combined (AUC=0.733, P<0.001). LDH in white matter fiber tracts with significant inter-group differences had no statistical correlation with PANSS scores ( P>0.05). No voxel clusters or TOIs enjoyed statistical differences between groups were noted in the FA, MD, AD and RD parameter maps ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The inter-voxel diffusivity metric LDH can detect the compensatory changes of white matter microstructure in FESZ patients that could not be detected by traditional intra-voxel diffusivity metric.

Objective:The matria-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS) and sequencing methods were performed to assess the methodology (biochemistry methods) for identifying the Pandoraea sputorum and provide the more preferred approach to identify Pandoraea species. Methods:This paper is a study on performance evaluation of identification method. Ten lines of Pandoraea sputorum were isolated from blood cultures of inpatients were collected at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from July to October 2018 and were confirmed by the cultural characteristics, colonial morphology and Gram′s stain. Further identification was carried out by using the manual biochemical method (API 20NE), automatic biochemistry systems(BioMerieuxVITEK 2 Compact, BD Phoenix-100andThemo ARIS 2X), MALDI-TOF MS (BioMerieuxVITEK MS and Bruker MALDI Biotyper) and the sequencing methods of the 16S rRNA to identify the Pandoraea sputorum. Results:Pandoraea sputorum was non-fermented gram-negative bacteria that are non-motile, oxidase positive, and catalase positive. Ten lines of Pandoraea sputorum were identified as Achromobacter denitrificans, Alcaligenes faecalis or Cupriavidus pauculus and the accuracy rate of genus and species identification was 0 by API 20NE. Among all the samples, six lines were identified as the Pandoraea spp. with the accuracy rate of genus identification was 6/10 by VITEK 2 Compact; whereas the other four lines were identified as the Burkholderia cepacia, Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Ralstonia pickettii, or "Low Discrim" . All of these were identified as "No Identification" by Phoenix-100, which the accuracy rate of genus and species identification was 0. Seven isolates were identified by ARIS 2X as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Acinetobacter lwoffii, Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Pseudomonas luteola, Acinetobacter baumannii/Acinetobacter haemolyticus; whereas the other three lines were identified as rare species, thus, the accuracy rate of genus and species identification was 0. Both VITEK MS and MALDI Biotyper indicated all the isolates were Pandoraea sputorum with the accuracy rate of genus and species identification was 10/10. 16S rRNA sequencing for the 10 isolates showed they have 100% of similarity to Pandoraea sputorum by blasting with Genebank. Conclusions:Methods based on biochemical reactions often failed to accurately identify the Pandoraea sputorum to species level. MALDL-TOF MS and 16S rRNA sequencing technology identify Pandoraea sputorum efficiently and precisely enough.

Objective:To investigate the abnormal dynamic characteristics of brain functional connectivity in patients with neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) and its correlation with clinical indicators by using dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) analysis based on independent component analysis (ICA).Methods:The clinical and imaging data of female NPSLE patients diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2018 to September 2019 were prospectively collected. The levels of complement C3, C4, CH50, glucocorticoid prednisone dosage, systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) score and Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) damage index (SDI) score were recorded. Age and sex matched healthy controls (HC) were enrolled at the same time. All subjects underwent resting state functional MRI (rs-fMRI). The spatial group independent component analysis was performed on MRI data using GIFT software, and 29 independent components (IC) were selected as internal connectivity network; five functional connectivity states and three dFC indexes (fraction time, mean dwell time, number of transitions) were obtained by using sliding time window technology. Two independent sample t test was used to calculate the difference of functional connectivity in different states. Mann-Whitney U test was used to calculate the difference of dFC indexes between groups. Spearman correlation analysis was used to calculate the correlation between dFC index and clinical data in NPSLE group. Results:A total of 45 NPSLE patients and 35 HC patients were enrolled. There was no significant difference in age and education level between the two groups ( t=-0.327, -0.460, P>0.05). Compared with HC group, NPSLE group had higher fraction time and longer mean dwell time ( Z=-2.496, -2.462, P<0.05); in state3 strong connection, compared with HC group, functional connectivity (FC) between posterior cerebellar lobe (IC39) and basal ganglia (IC10) was enhanced ( t=-5.201, P<0.05); FC was found decreased between posterior cerebellar lobe (IC39) and temporal lobe (IC5), temporal lobe (IC7), superior parietal lobe (IC65) ( t=4.212, 5.572, 4.415, P<0.05), as well as between paracentral lobular region (IC12) and posterior cingulate gyrus (IC15) ( t=3.893, P<0.05) in NPSLE group. The SDI score of NPSLE patients was negatively correlated with the fraction time and mean dwell time of state1 and state3 strong connection state ( P<0.05), and the SLEDAI score was negatively correlated with the fraction time and mean dwell time of state1 and state2 ( P<0.05). The SDI and SLEDAI scores were positively correlated with the fraction time and mean dwell time of state4 weak connection state, respectively ( P<0.05). The levels of serum complement C3, C4 and CH50 in NPSLE patients were positively correlated with the number of transitions ( r=0.428, 0.354, 0.385, P<0.05), and the dosage of prednisone was negatively correlated with the number of transitions ( r=-0.466, P<0.05). The validation analysis results showed the experimental results could be effectively repeated. Conclusion:The dFC analysis method based on ICA can effectively identify the alterations of brain functional connectivity on a shorter time scale, which may provide a new perspective for further exploration of the neuroimaging mechanism of cognitive impairment in NPSLE.
