Objective:To develop an E-chart visual acuity recognition card suitable for children aged 2-4 years and to design a child-friendly gamified intervention method to improve the success rate, compliance, and parental satisfaction in visual acuity testing for this age group.Methods:A non-concurrent historical control study design was employed, involving 143 children aged 2-4 years and parents who attended the ophthalmology outpatient clinic of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January to June 2023. The children were divided into the control group and the intervention group based on their appointment times. Both groups underwent binocular visual acuity testing using the E-chart visual acuity recognition cards. The control group received conventional visual acuity testing, while the intervention group was subjected to a child-friendly gamified intervention. The effectiveness of the intervention was assessed by comparing the success rate of visual acuity testing, examination compliance, and parental satisfaction between the two groups.Results:Finally, the sample size of the control group and the intervention group were 69 and 74 cases. The children in the control group was (3.06 ± 0.47) years old, with 36 males and 33 females; whereas the children in the intervention group was (2.99 ± 0.45) years old, with 38 males and 36 females. The parents in the control group was (29.37 ± 4.00) years old, with 24 males and 45 females; whereas the parents in the intervention group was (29.35 ± 3.50) years old, with 27 males and 47 females. The success rate of visual acuity testing in the intervention group was significantly higher at 63.5% (47/74) compared to the control group′s 34.8% (24/69), with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=7.45, P<0.01). The compliance of the children during the examination in the intervention group, categorized as no grade I cases, 19 gradeⅡcases, 21 gradeⅢcases, and 34 grade Ⅳ cases, was significantly higher than that of the control group, which had 17 grade I cases, 23 gradeⅡcases, 15 grade Ⅲcases, and 14 grade Ⅳ cases ( Z=4.61, P<0.01). In terms of parental satisfaction, the intervention group′s satisfaction score was (4.53 ± 0.56) points, which was significantly higher than the control group′s score of (3.74 ± 0.78) points, indicating a statistically significant difference ( t=-4.88, P<0.01). Conclusions:The child-friendly gamified intervention significantly improved the success rate and compliance of visual acuity testing in children aged 2-4 years and increased parental satisfaction. This intervention provides an effective solution for visual acuity testing in children aged 2-4 years.

Objective:
This study aimed to explore the psychiatric symptoms and associated risk and protective factors among religious adolescents after 2-month home confinement against coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) in China.
Methods:
11,603 Chinese adolescents in grades 7–9 were recruited in this survey. An online survey was designed to collect the data. Participants were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 Scale.
Results:
Religious adolescents showed significantly more severe depressive and anxiety symptoms compared to non-religious. 249 (2.2%) reported COVID-19 exposure. Logistic regression analysis revealed that religiosity was a risk factor for the symptoms of depression (p=0.001) and anxiety (p<0.001). Moreover, among those adolescents with religious beliefs, psychological resilience was protective in preventing depressive and anxiety symptoms. At the same time, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and a poor parent-child relationship were risk factors.
Conclusion
Our finding indicates that religious adolescents easily develop depressive and anxiety symptoms, compared to non-religious adolescents. Moreover, those with emotional abuse, emotional abuse, and poor parent-child relationships are more likely to suffer from mental distress and should pay more attention to cope with their mental health.

Objective:To detect the abnormal changes of myocardial blood perfusion in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM) by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) combined with adenosine stress test.Methods:Fifteen adult patients with HCM who were treated in Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital from May 2021 to March 2022 were prospectively selected as the HCM group, and eighteen healthy volunteers matched by gender, age and body surface area during the same period were chosen as the control group. All subjects underwent routine echocardiography, rest and adenosine stress MCE. The MCE images were analyzed by QLab software to obtain the myocardial perfusion parameters: peak signal intensity (A value), rising slope of the curve (β value) and A×β value, and the differences of above parameters between the two groups were compared.According to whether the end-diastolic wall thickness ≥12 mm, the myocardial segments in the HCM group were divided into hypertrophic segments and non-hypertrophic segments. The differences in myocardial perfusion parameters were compared among control group segments, hypertrophic segments and non-hypertrophic segments of the HCM group. The correlations of stress myocardial blood flow with maximal left ventricular wall thickness (MLVWT), left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and left atrial volume index (LAVI) in the HCM group were analyzed.Results:Compared with the control group, the A value, β value and A×β value of whole myocardium, hypertrophic segments and non-hypertrophic segments in the HCM group were significantly decreased in the rest and adenosine stress state, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). In the stress state, the A value, β value and A×β value of the hypertrophic segments were significantly lower than those in the non-hypertrophic segments in the HCM group, and the detection rate of abnormal perfusion segments in the HCM group was significantly higher than that in the rest state(all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the myocardial blood flow reserve of whole myocardium, hypertrophic segments and non-hypertrophic segments in the HCM group were significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05). The stress myocardial blood flow in the HCM group was negatively correlated with MLVWT, LVMI and LAVI ( r=-0.815, -0.805, -0.742; all P<0.05). Conclusions:Myocardial blood perfusion abnormalities can occur in both hypertrophic and non-hypertrophic myocardial segments in patients with HCM, and adenosine stress MCE can significantly improve the sensitivity of detecting myocardial perfusion abnormalities. The stress myocardial blood flow in patients with HCM is negatively correlated with MLVWT, LVMI and LAVI.

Objective:To detect the abnormal changes of myocardial blood perfusion in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by myocardial contrast echocardiography(MCE) combined with exercise stress test.Methods:Twenty-seven patients with clinically diagnozed of asymmetric HCM in Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital from May 2020 to April 2021 were selected as the HCM group, and 29 healthy subjects during the same period were selected as the control group. All patients underwent routine echocardiography, resting and exercise stress MCE. The myocardial perfusion parameters of each segment of interventricular septum in the 2 groups were quantitatively analyzed: the peak plateau intensity (A value), ascending slope of the curve(β value) and value of A×β. According to the end-diastolic myocardial thickness, the interventricular septum of the HCM group was divided into hypertrophic and non-hypertrophic segments, and the myocardial contrast parameters of the interventricular septum of the study group were compared with those of the control group. The myocardial blood flow reserve value of the two groups were calculated, and the correlation of myocardial blood flow reserve value with left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and left ventricular remodeling index (LVRI) were analyzed.Results:No matter at rest or under stress, the A value, β value and A×β value of ventricular septal hypertrophic and non-hypertrophic segments in the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Under stress, the A value, β value and A×β value of interventricular septal hypertrophic segments were lower than those in non-hypertrophic segments in the HCM group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The myocardial blood flow reserve in the HCM group was negatively correlated with LVMI and LVRI( r=-0.899, -0.676; all P<0.001). Conclusions:In patients with HCM under resting and exercise stress, microcirculation disorders were found in both hypertrophic and non-hypertrophic segments of the ventricular wall, and the myocardial blood flow reserve was negatively correlated with LVMI and LVRI.
