The incidence of myopia among Chinese adolescents is progressively rising, indicating a distinct trend toward younger age onset.This paper aims to comprehensively review the impact of various visual performance on myopia and its progression, with a specific emphasis on accommodative function, convergence function, and ocular position. A meticulous exploration of accommodation function, encompassing accommodative amplitude, accommodative facility, accommodative response, positive relative accommodation, and negative relative accommodation, has been undertaken to elucidate its contributory role in myopia progression. Concurrently, an exhaustive analysis of convergence function has been conducted including esotropia and exotropia, convergence insufficiency and convergence excess, fusional function vergence, divergence insufficiency, and excess, providing a nuanced understanding of convergence's implications for myopia advancement. Furthermore, the influence of ocular position on myopia progression, along with other factors affecting perceptual ocular position and intermittent exotropia, is discussed. The primary objective of this article is to unveil the multifaceted visual performance influencing myopia and its progression, elucidating the paramount significance of accommodative function, convergence function, and ocular position in this context.

Introduction::The triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, a novel biomarker for metabolic syndrome (MetS), has been validated in the general population as being significantly correlated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, its capabilities to predict CVD in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV; PLWH) remain underexplored.Methods::We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 16,081 PLWH who initiated antiretroviral therapy (ART) at the Third People’s Hospital of Shenzhen (China) from 2005 to 2022. The baseline TG/HDL-C ratio was calculated as TG (mmol/L) divided by HDL-C (mmol/L). We employed a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model to assess the association between the TG/HDL-C ratio and CVD occurrence, using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests to compare survival distributions. The increase in prediction risk upon the addition of the biomarker to the conventional risk model was examined through the assessment of changes in net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). Nonlinear relationships were investigated using a restricted cubic spline plot, complemented by a two-piecewise Cox proportional hazards model to analyze threshold effects.Results::At the median follow-up of 70 months, 213 PLWH developed CVD. Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated a significant association between the increased risk of CVD and a higher TG/HDL-C ratio (log-rank P <0.001). The multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression model indicated that the CVD hazard ratios (HR) (95% confidence intervals [95% CIs]) for Q2, Q3, and Q4 versus Q1 of the TG/HDL-C ratio were 2.07 (1.24, 3.45), 2.17 (1.32, 3.57), and 2.20 (1.35, 3.58), respectively ( P <0.05). The consideration of the TG/HDL-C ratio in the model, which included all significant factors for CVD incidence, improved the predictive risk, as indicated by the reclassification metrics (NRI 16.43%, 95% CI 3.35%-29.52%, P = 0.014). The restriction cubic spline plot demonstrated an upward trend between the TG/HDL-C ratio and the CVD occurrence ( P for nonlinear association = 0.027, P for overall significance = 0.009), with the threshold at 1.013. Significantly positive correlations between the TG/HDL-C ratio and CVD were observed below the TG/HDL-C ratio threshold with HR 5.88 (95% CI 1.58-21.88, P = 0.008), but not above the threshold with HR 1.01 (95% CI 0.88-1.15, P = 0.880). Conclusion::Our study confirms the effectiveness of the TG/HDL-C ratio as a predictor of CVD risk in PLWH, which demonstrates a significant nonlinear association. These findings indicate the potential of the TG/HDL-C ratio in facilitating early prevention and treatment strategies for CVD among PLWH.

Objective:To explore the risk factors related to delayed pleural effusion in multiple trauma patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 145 multiple trauma patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2022 to October 2023, including 99 males and 46 females, aged 18-81 years [56.0(46.5, 64.5)years]. Based on whether delayed pleural effusion developed after injury, the patients were divided into delayed pleural effusion group ( n=66) and non-delayed pleural effusion group ( n=79). The clinical data of the patients in both groups were collected, including gender, age, underlying disease (diabetes mellitus and hypertension), cause of injury (traffic injury, blow injury, fall from height, and others), comorbid injuries (traumatic brain injury, maxillofacial fracture, clavicular fracture, scapular fracture, sternal fracture, spinal fracture, multiple rib fracture, pneumothorax, lung contusion, and pelvic fracture), severity of injury [injury severity score (ISS) and abbreviated injury scale (AIS) score for the chest], location and number of rib fractures, vital signs at admission (body temperature, heart rate, respiration, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure), and clinical test indices [white blood cells (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), platelets (PLT), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), fibrinogen (FIB), fibrin degradation product (FDP), D-dimer (D-D), aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transferase (ALT), and creatinine (Cr)]. Univariate analysis was conducted to assess the correlation between the forementioned factors and the development of delayed pleural effusion after multiple traumas. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for the development of delayed pleural effusion after multiple traumas. Results:The results of univariate analysis showed that multiple rib fracture, pneumothorax, pulmonary contusion, chest AIS score, posterior rib fracture, number of rib fractures, TP, ALB, CRP, PCT and FDP were correlated with delayed pleural effusion in multiple trauma patients ( P<0.05 or 0.01); whereas gender, age, underlying disease, cause of injury, sternal fracture, spinal fracture, clavicular fracture, scapular fracture, pelvic fracture, maxillofacial fracture, traumatic brain injury, anterior rib fracture, ISS, vital signs at admission, WBC, Hb, PLT, FIB, D-D, AST, ALT, and Cr were not correlated with delayed pleural effusion in multiple trauma patients ( P>0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that lung contusion ( OR=3.96, 95% CI 1.59, 9.85, P<0.01), ALB ( OR=0.79, 95% CI 0.66, 0.94, P<0.01), and CRP ( OR=1.02, 95% CI 1.01, 1.03, P<0.01) were significantly correlated with delayed pleural effusion in multiple trauma patients. Conclusion:Lung contusion, ALB, and CRP are the independent risk factors for delayed pleural effusion in multiple trauma patients.

Objective:To investigate the expression levels of peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) of the cervix and early cervical cancer, and to analyze their correlation with the clinicopathological characteristics of cervical cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 65 patients with HSIL and 78 patients with early cervical cancer (2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage ≤ stage Ⅱ A) treated in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from October 2020 to November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and 31 healthy people undergoing physical examination during the same period were treated as the healthy control group. The expressions of CD3 + T cells, CD4 + T cells, CD8 + T cells, NK cells, NK/T cells and other immune cells in fasting peripheral blood of the patients were detected by using flow cytometry. Results:The expression levels of CD3 + T cells, CD4 + T cells, CD4 +/CD8 + and NK cells were 71±8, 39±7, 1.5±0.5, 16±7, respectively in HSIL group, and 73±9, 41±9, 1.5±0.6, 16±9, respectively in early cervical cancer group, which were lower than those in the healthy control group (76±9, 45±10, 2.0±1.3, 20±7) (all P < 0.05). The expression levels of CD8 + T cells was 28±7, 29±8, respectively in HSIL group and early cervical cancer group, which were higher than those in the healthy control group (24±7) (all P < 0.05). The expression level of total B cells in early cervical cancer group was lower than that in healthy control group (10±4 vs.12±3, P < 0.05). The expression level of CD3 + T cells in peripheral blood of early cervical cancer patients with tumor diameter >4 cm and nerve/vascular invasion was 71±10 and 72±8, which was lower than that of patients with tumor diameter 2-4 cm, ≤2 cm and without nerve/vascular invasion (72±8, 75±8, 78±7); the expression level of CD8 + T cell was 32±8 and 35±4, which was higher than that of patients with tumor diameter 2-4 cm, ≤2 cm, and without nerve/vascular invasion (28±8, 28±7, 29±8) (all P < 0.05). The levels of CD3 + T cells and total B cells were negatively correlated with the tumor diameter (all P < 0.05), while the level of CD8 + T cells was positively correlated with tumor diameter ( P < 0.05); the levels of CD3 + T cells and NK cells were negatively correlated with nerve/vascular invasion (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The immune function of the body starts to change in the early progression of cervical cancer, and is related to the tumor diameter and nerve/vascular invasion of cervical cancer.

The 2030 Immunization Agenda of the World Health Organization (WHO) states that everyone in the world should fully benefit from vaccines to achieve good health and well-being. With the ever-changing disease spectrum and the improvement of residents' health literacy, relying solely on vaccines included in the National Immunization Program (NIP) is insufficient to meet the current requirements for disease prevention and control. Non-NIP vaccines play an important role in meeting people's diverse needs. Vaccine hesitancy is a global issue and an important factor affecting vaccine uptake. By reviewing relevant studies on vaccine hesitancy in recent years, this paper summarized different vaccination situations, current situation of vaccine hesitancy, measuring tools of vaccine hesitancy, and major influencing factors. It aims to provide references for the development of scientific and effective vaccine education strategies, which can increase public knowledge and understanding of vaccines, enhance healthcare professional's willingness and behavior in recommending vaccines, improve public vaccine literacy, and reduce vaccine hesitancy. At the same time, the supervision and guidance of media discourse should be strengthened to enhance the protective role of non-NIP vaccines in immunization barriers.

OBJECTIVE To compare the phar macokinetics o f ligustrazine hydrochlori de,salvianic acid and rosemarinic acid from Shenxiong glucose injection (SGI)in normal and acute myocardial ischemia (AMI)rats. METHODS Male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group and model group ,with 9 rats in each group. AMI model was established by isoproterenol hydrochloride modeling method. Three rats in each group were selected for model verification. The remaining 6 rats in each group were given SGI (1.2 mL/kg)or equal volum of normal saline via tail vein ;0.3 mL blood was collected through orbital venous bush 0.083,0.167,0.333,0.5,0.75,1,1.5,2,3,5 h after administration. Using luteoloside as internal standard ,the plasma concentrations of ligustrazine hydrochloride ,salvianic acid and rosemarinic acid were determined by ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Pharmacokinetic parameters were fitted by WinNonlin 8.1 software,and statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 18.0 software. RESULTS The linear ranges of ligustrazine hydrochloride ,salvianic acid and rosmarinic acid were 0.06-29.96,0.01-5.15 and 0.006-3.09 μ g/mL(all r>0.99),respectively. The results of methodological investigation were all in line with the requirements of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition). Compared with normal rats ,CLz of ligustrazine hydrochloride in AMI model rats was significantly increased (P<0.05);t1/2 and Vz of salvianic acid were significantly prolonged or increased (P<0.05);but the cmax and AUC 0-5 h were significantly decreased (P<0.05);AUC0-5 h of rosmarinic acid was significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The exposure levels of salvianic acid and rosmarinic acid in SGI are lower in AMI model rats than in normal rats ,and the elimination of ligustrazine hydrochloride in AMI model rats is stronger than that in normal rats.

【Objective】 To explore ways to recruit blood donors effectively, so as to ensure blood supply for hospitals in Shenzhen with good compliance with the requirements concerning COVID-19 prevention and control. 【Methods】 From January 31 to March 31, 2020, a recruiting vanguard lead by Party members aimed at "COVID-19 control, blood supply security" was established. Otherwise, the traditional recruiting (via telephone/SMS) and on-site(on the streets) recruiting were also enhanced. The effects of the above three recruitment methods during this period, relative to the same period in 2019, were counted and analyzed. 【Results】 A total of 19 752 blood donors were recruited, and more were recruited by on-site (15 643, 79.19%) than by telephone and SMS(4 109, 20.81%), as on-site recruitment was more persuasive than the traditional one. The success rates of telephone recruitment and SMS recruitment were 11.66% (2 034 / 17 448) and 3.92% (2 075/52 915), respectively, and both were significantly higher than that in the same period in 2019(7.55% and 2.36%) (P<0.05). And the proportion of donors with local registered residence, aged 30-49 and bachelor degree or above in this period were significantly higher than those in the same period in 2019 (P<0.05), but with no significant differences in gender or first-time/repeated blood donors (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 In times of emergency, efficient recruiting method could be achieved by grouping a vanguard, conducting scientific measures, and carrying out effect evaluation. Besides, preference could be given to donors with local registered residence, middle-age (30~50 years old) and better educated background.
