Background Some occupational asthma patients have a high risk of poor prognosis, and early assessment and screening of the high-risk groups with poor prognosis are crucial. Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of serum histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) and soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) in occupational asthma patients. Methods An occupational asthma group containing 100 occupational asthma patients admitted to Baodi District People's Hospital of Tianjin between March 2020 and March 2023 were divided into a mild group of 38 cases, a moderate group of 40 cases, and a severe group of 22 cases, and re-divided into a good prognosis group of 66 cases and a poor prognosis group of 34 cases. During the same period, 98 ordinary asthma patients were recruited as the ordinary asthma group and 98 healthy individuals as the healthy control group. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the relationships of prognosis with HDAC2, sST2, patients separated from allergen after diagnosis, age, body mass index (BMI), gender, smoking history, years of work, family history of asthma, allergy history, good medication adherence, regular follow-up visits. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate potential predictive value of serum HDAC2 and sST2, and Z-test was used to compare the area under the curve (AUC). Results The serum HDAC2 concentration [(11.13±2.26) ng·L−1] in the occupational asthma group was lower than that in the ordinary asthma group and the healthy control group [(16.72±3.15), (22.75±4.92) ng·L−1], while the sST2 concentration [(16.64±3.47) ng·L−1] in the occupational asthma group was lower than that in the ordinary asthma group and the healthy control group [(12.49±2.31), (9.04±1.98) ng·L−1] (F=256.623, 201.091; P<0.05). The serum HDAC2 concentration [(7.60±1.67) ng·L−1] in the severe group was lower than that in the moderate and the mild groups [(10.02±2.35), (14.34±3.88) ng·L−1], while the sST2 concentration [(24.65±6.31) ng·L−1] in the severe group was lower than that in the moderate and the mild groups [(16.88±3.50), (11.75±3.09) ng·L−1](F=41.731, 67.564; P<0.05). The serum HDAC2 and the proportion of patients separated from allergen after diagnosis in the poor prognosis group were lower than those in the good prognosis group [(8.19±1.94) vs (12.64±3.29) ng·L−1, 64.71% vs 93.94%], and the serum sST2 in the poor prognosis group was higher than that in the good prognosis group [(21.67±5.86) vs (14.05±3.62) ng·L−1] (t/χ2=7.253, 12.177, 8.020; P<0.05). HDAC2 and sST2 were associated with poor 6-month prognosis in the occupational asthma patients (P<0.05). The AUCs for predicting poor prognosis in the occupational asthma patients by serum HDAC2 and sST2 concentrations alone and in combination were 0.826, 0.838, and 0.902, respectively. Conclusion The serum HDAC2 concentration decreases and the sST2 concentration increases in patients with occupational asthma, and these two indicators may have important predictive value for poor disease prognosis.

This article retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 8 patients with vesicovaginal fistula after radiotherapy for cervical cancer admitted in our hospital from January 2015 to October 2021. All of them underwent cystostomy under local anesthesia. A single J tube of bilateral ureters was retained under cystoscope, and the single J tube was introduced into the fistula bag through the cystostomy opening. All patients wore diapers for a long time before operation, and used urine pads 0-2 pieces/day after operation. QOL score was 5.3±0.5 points before operation, and 2.5±0.5 points after operation. The patient's body odor basically disappeared. The vesicovaginal fistula can be repaired by surgery, but for patients who cannot be operated or failed repeatedly due to various reasons, a single J tube of bilateral ureters can be drawn out through the cystostomy opening, which can improve the quality of life of patients through minor trauma.

Purpose:
Although drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment is known to be effective for de novo lesions, the influence of sex on angiographic and clinical outcomes remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the angiographic and clinical impact of DCB treatment in patients with de novo coronary lesions according to sex.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 227 patients successfully treated with DCB were retrospectively enrolled and divided into two groups according to sex. The primary endpoint was late lumen loss (LLL) at 6-month angiography, and the secondary endpoint was target vessel failure (TVF), which included cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, and target vessel thrombosis.
Results:
The study enrolled 60 women (26.4%) and 167 men (73.6%). Compared to men, women had a smaller vessel size, larger DCB to reference vessel ratio, and more dissections after DCB treatment (55.0% vs. 37.1%, p=0.016). Women also had a significantly higher LLL compared to men (0.12±0.26 mm vs. 0.02±0.22 mm, p=0.012) at the 6-month follow-up angiography. During a median follow-up of 3.4 years (range 12.7–28.9 months), TVF was similar (women 6.7% vs. men 7.8%, p=0.944). In multivariable analysis, women were independently associated with a higher LLL.
Conclusion
LLL was higher in women, but there was no difference in TVF between women and men. Based on multivariable analysis, the women sex was an independent predictor of higher LLL (Impact of Drug-coated Balloon Treatment in de Novo Coronary Lesion; NCT04619277).

Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(11):1703-1706
Objective:
To understand the current situation and associated factors of myopia in junior middle school students, and to provide scientific basis for prevention and control of myopia in junior middle school students.
Methods:
A total of 5 393 junior middle school students were selected from middle schools in Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Liaoning, Shandong, Shanxi provinces. The visual acuity of middle school students was examined, and the data of general population, economy, sociology and natural environment were obtained through statistical yearbook of each province. The influencing factors of myopia of middle school students were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression.
Results:
The results of single factor analysis showed that the myopia rate of junior high school students was different by gender, grades, parents average wage, sunshine duration, temperature, altitude, longitude and latitude(χ2=47.76,59.05,10.79,106.19,53.56,85.02,76.23,107.07,P<0.05). The results of multi factor analysis showed that gender, grade, average wage, temperature and latitude was positively associated with myopia vision; sunshine duration and longitude were negatively associated with the risk for myopia(OR=1.54,1.34,1.62,7.58,27.10,0.42,0.39,P<0.05).
Conclusion
The myopia of junior high school students is affected by a variety of factors, economic and social factors and natural environmental factors have an impact on the screening of sexual myopia in junior high school students. Economic and social factors and natural environmental factors should be taken into account in the formulation of myopia prevention and control measures.

Yonsei Medical Journal 2020;61(12):1004-1012
Purpose:
Dissection after plain balloon angioplasty is required to achieve adequate luminal area; however, it is associated with a high risk of vascular events. This study aimed to examine the relationship between non-flow limiting coronary dissections and subsequent lumen loss and long-term clinical outcomes following successful drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment of de novo coronary lesions.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 227 patients with good distal flow (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow grade 3) following DCB treatment were retrospectively enrolled and stratified according to the presence or absence of a non-flow limiting dissection. The primary endpoint was late lumen loss (LLL) at 6-month angiography, and the secondary endpoint was target vessel failure (TVF, a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, and target vessel thrombosis).
Results:
The cohort consisted of 95 patients with and 132 patients without a dissection. There were no between-group differences in LLL (90.8%) returning for angiography at 6 months (0.05±0.19 mm in non-dissection and 0.05±0.30 mm in dissection group, p= 0.886) or in TVF (6.8% in non-dissection and 8.4% in dissection group, p=0.799) at a median follow-up of 3.4 years. In a multivariate analysis, the presence of dissection and its severity were not associated with LLL or TVF. Almost dissections (93.9%) were completely healed, and there was no newly developed dissection at 6-month angiography.
Conclusion
The presence of a dissection following successful DCB treatment of a de novo coronary lesion may not be associated with an increased risk of LLL or TVF (Impact of Drug-coated Balloon Treatment in de Novo Coronary Lesion; NCT04619277).
