Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the prevalence of myopia among children and adolescents aged 6-16 years during COVID-19 pandemic in Tianjin, China. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study using data from the Tianjin Child and Adolescent Research of Eye between March and June in 2021. A total of 909 835 children and adolescents aged 6-16 years from 1348 primary and secondary schools in Tianjin, China were recruited. Prevalence of myopia with 95% CIs was described in different regions, sexes and ages. The regions-standardised prevalence rate and chain growth rate of myopia in different ages were described the characteristics of myopia. RESULTS A total of 864 828 participants (95.05% participation rate) were included in the analysis. The age range was 6-16 with a mean age of 11.50±2.79 years. The overall prevalence of myopia was 54.71% (95% CI 54.60% to 54.81%). The prevalence of myopia was 57.58% (95% CI 57.43% to 57.73%) for girls and 52.05% (95% CI 51.91% to 52.20%) for boys. Students living in the six central districts had the highest prevalence of moderate myopia (19.09% (95% CI 19.01% to 19.17%)) and high myopia (5.43% (95% CI 5.39% to 5.48%)). The regions-standardised prevalence of myopia was increased by age and the highest chain growth rate of myopia was up to 47.99% at 8 years. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of myopia in Tianjin is high during COVID-19 pandemic. The progression of myopia started to increase dramatically at 8 years, and the increasing slowed down at 14 years. For policy-makers, intervention in the lower age groups may be important to control myopia progression.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy and safety of repeated low-level red-light(RLRL) therapy combined with orthokeratology(Ortho-k) among the children who, despite undergoing Ortho-k treatment, exhibited an axial elongation of at least 0.50mm over 1 year. DESIGN Multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, single-blind clinical trial (ClinicaTrials.gov,NCT04722874). PARTICIPANTS Eligible children were aged 8-13 years with a cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction of -1.00 to -5.00 diopters in the initial Ortho-k fitting examination and had annual axial length (AL) elongation ≥ 0.50 mm despite undergoing Ortho-k for 1 year. A total of 48 children were enrolled from March 2021 to January 2022, and the final follow-up was completed in March 2023. METHODS Children were randomly assigned to the RLRL combined with Ortho-k(RCO) or the Ortho-k group in a 2:1 ratio. The Ortho-k group wore Ortho-k at least 8 hours per night, while the RCO group received daily RLRL therapy twice a day for 3 minutes in addition to Ortho-k wearing. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was AL change measured at 12 months relative to baseline. The primary analysis was conducted in children who received the assigned intervention and completed at least 1 post-randomization follow-up using the modified intention-to-treat principle. RESULTS A total of 47(97.9%) children were included in the analysis (30 in the RCO group and 17 in the Ortho-k group). The mean axial elongation rate before the trial was 0.60mm/year in the RCO group and 0.61mm/year in the Ortho-k group. After 12 months following the intended intervention, the adjusted mean AL changes were -0.02mm(95% CI, -0.08 to +0.03 mm) in the RCO group and 0.27mm(0.19-0.34 mm) in the Ortho-k group. The adjusted mean difference in AL change was -0.29mm(-0.44 to -0.14mm) between the RCO and Ortho-k groups. The percentage of children achieving an uncorrected visual acuity greater than 20/25 was similar in the RCO (64.3%) and Ortho-k (65.5%) groups (Chi2 test, P=0.937). CONCLUSIONS Combining RLRL therapy with Ortho-k may offer a promising approach to optimize axial elongation control among myopic children. This approach also potentially allows children to achieve satisfactory visual acuity, reducing the daytime dependence on corrective eyewear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS To compare the effects of repeated low-level red light (RLRL) treatment on axial length growth and refractive error changes in myopic and premyopic children. METHODS Subjects were assigned randomly to four subgroups: myopia-RLRL group (M-RL), myopia-control group (M-C), premyopia-RLRL group (PM-RL) and premyopia-control group (PM-C). Subjects in the RLRL group completed a 12-month treatment composed of a 3 min RLRL treatment session twice daily, with an interval of at least 4 hours, for 7 days per week. Visits were scheduled before and at 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month and 12-month follow-up after the treatment. Repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to compare the spherical equivalent refractive errors (SE) and axial length (AL) changes between the groups across the treatment period. RESULTS After 12 months of treatment, in the myopia group, SE and AL changes were -0.078±0.375 D and 0.033±0.123 mm for M-RL and -0.861±0.556 D and 0.415±0.171 mm for M-C; in the premyopia group, the progression of SE and AL was -0.181±0.417 D and 0.145±0.175 mm for PM-RL and -0.521±0.436 D and 0.292±0.128 mm for PM-C. PM-RL indicated a lower myopia incidence than PM-C (2.5% vs 19.4%). Additionally, the percentage of AL shortening in the M-RL was higher than that in the PM-RL before the 9-month follow-up. CONCLUSION RLRL effectively delayed myopia progression in children with myopia and reduced the incidence of myopia in premyopic children. Moreover, RLRL exhibited a stronger impact on myopic children compared with premyopic individuals.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of acute stent implantation during endovascular treatment for patients with emergent large vessel occlusion due to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis. Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out on 46 patients with emergent large vessel occlusion due to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis who received endovascular treatment at the Strategic Support Force Medical Center from January 2015 to August 2022. Twenty-seven patients underwent balloon angioplasty alone and 19 patients underwent acute stent implantation. The baseline characteristics, modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (mTICI) score of the responsible vessels, modified Rankin scale (mRS) score 90 days after operation, incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and mortality of the two groups were evaluated. Results: The proportion of effective recanalization of the offending vessels (mTICI≥2b) in the acute stenting group was slightly higher than that in the balloon angioplasty group (16/19 vs. 81.5%), but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Besides, there was no significant difference in the median of mRS between the acute stenting group [3.0(0, 4.0)] and the balloon angioplasty group [4.0(1.0, 5.0)] 90 days after operation (P>0.05). In terms of safety, the incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and mortality were comparable between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: The effect of acute stent implantation during endovascular treatment for patients with emergent large vessel occlusion due to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis is not inferior to that of balloon angioplasty, and it does not increase the risk of intracranial bleeding complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of repeated low-level red-light (RLRL) therapy on the structure and vasculature of the choroid and retina in Chinese children with premyopia. METHODS This study was a single-center randomized clinical trial. A total of 94 children with premyopia (- 0.50 D < spherical equivalent [SE] ≤ + 0.75 D) were randomly assigned to either the RLRL therapy or control group. Follow-up visits were planned at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Optical coherence biometry was used to measure axial length (AL) and anterior segment parameters. Choroidal thickness (CT), retinal thickness (RT), superficial retinal vascular density (SRVD), deep retinal vascular density (DRVD), choriocapillaris perfusion area (CCPA), and choroidal vessel volume (CVV) were measured by optical coherence tomography angiography, centered on the foveal, parafoveal (ParaF), and perifoveal (PeriF) regions. RESULTS The thickening of the choroid was observed across the entire macular region at different time points in the RLRL therapy group. Relative to the baseline measurement, foveal CT significantly increased at the 1-month follow-up with RLRL therapy, with a mean (± standard deviation [SD]) adjusted change of 16.96 ± 19.87 μm. The greatest magnitude of foveal CT changes was observed at the 3-month visit (an increase of 19.58 ± 20.59 μm), with a slight reduction in the extent of foveal CT increase at the 6-month visit (an increase of 15.85 ± 23.77 μm). The second greatest CT increase was observed at the 9-month visit (an increase of 19.57 ± 35.51 μm), after which the extent of CT increase gradually decreased until the end of the study at the 12-month visit (an increase of 11.99 ± 32.66 μm). We also observed a significant increase in CT in the ParaF and PeriF areas in the RLRL group over 12 months. In contrast, CT across the entire macular region in the control group significantly decreased throughout the follow-up visits (all P < 0.05). Regarding the vascular parameters of the choroid, significant increases in CVV were observed primarily in the ParaF and PeriF regions of the choroid in the RLRL group. In comparison, the control group exhibited decreases in CVV throughout the entire area. Furthermore, notable elevations in CCPA were detected in the PeriF area of the choroid in the RLRL group during the 1-month (an increase of 0.40 mm2), 3-month (an increase of 0.25 mm2), and 12-month visits (an increase of 0.42 mm2) (all P < 0.05). In addition, no notable differences were observed between the groups regarding foveal RT and retinal vascular parameters throughout the 12 months (P > 0.05). Notably, RLRL therapy achieved a notable reduction in SE shift by 73.8%, a substantial decrease in AL change by 67.9%, and a significant reduction in myopia incidence by 45.1% within 1 year. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated a significant increase in CT and flow in the RLRL-treated eyes throughout the 12-months of the study. Combined with its reduction in spherical equivalent progression and axial elongation, RLRL could be used as an effective therapy for preventing progression in premyopes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore the influence of the interaction between parental myopia and lifestyle on myopia among school-age children. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING This study used data from the Tianjin Child and Adolescent Research of Eye between August and October 2022. PARTICIPANTS A total of 49 035 participants between 6 and 18 years of age were eligible for this study. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was the interaction between eye-healthy lifestyle and parental myopia on myopia. Parental myopia and eye-healthy lifestyle were ascertained by a Child and Adolescent Behavior Questionnaire. The lifestyle risk score (LRS) of eye health was calculated based on beta-coefficient in the backward regression model. The interaction between LRS and parental myopia was analysed by multivariate logistic regression. The predictive value of different predicted models was estimated using receiver operating characteristic curves. Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the associations of lifestyle risk factors and parental myopia with spherical equivalent refraction, which were defined as the secondary outcomes. RESULTS A total of 31 839 participants aged 6-18 years were included, and the myopia prevalence was 55.46%. Eye-healthy lifestyle and parental myopia were significantly associated with myopia, as was interaction. The predictive value for LRS & parental myopia was 0.714 (95% CI: 0.709 to 0.720), which was higher than LRS (0.693, 95% CI: 0.687 to 0.699) and parental myopia (0.710, 95% CI: 0.704 to 0.716) separately. CONCLUSIONS High-risk lifestyles of myopia and parental myopia were significantly associated with a higher risk of myopia, and the combination had the strongest effect. For children, lifestyle adjustment should be prioritised in preventing myopia, especially for those with parental myopia.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the morphological and quantitative changes in pathological myopia (PM) and the perioperative changes in posterior scleral reinforcement (PSR) using three-dimensional magnetic resonance images (3D MRI). Methods: A total of 49 patients with high myopia (HM; 98 eyes), 15 with pathological myopia (PM; 19 eyes), and 10 without high myopia (NORM; 20 eyes) were recruited between September 2019 and July 2021. The patients underwent measurements of refractive error and axial length, as well as 3D MRI of the eyeball. Python was used to analyze the 3D MRI images, calculate the vitreous volume, establish a topography of the height of the eyeball posterior surface, and calculate the rate of change in height (H). For the PM group undergoing PSR, changes in vitreous volume and the highest point of the eyeball posterior surface in four quadrants (temporal, subtemporal, nasal, and subnasal) were compared before and after PSR. Results: The vitreous volume was smaller in the NORM group compared to the HM and PM groups (p < 0.01). The PM group had a larger volume than the HM group (p < 0.01). The H for the PM group was higher than that of the NORM and HM groups (p < 0.01). After PSR in the PM group, the total vitreous volume, as well as the volume in the subnasal and supratemporal quadrants, decreased (p < 0.05). Additionally, the highest point of the eyeball's posterior surface was generally shifted to the upper nasal side. Finally, the shape and position of the scleral band after PSR were plotted. Conclusion: 3D MRI is capable of a quantitative description of the eyeball morphology in PM and PSR. It allows for precise calculations of changes in vitreous volume and the H of the posterior surface. It also facilitates a meticulous analysis of the specific details of the scleral band following PSR.

Abstract
AIM To explore the feasibility of a "triple-low" dose (low tube voltage, low tube current, and low contrast agent volume) bronchial artery computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) to replace routine dose bronchial artery CTA before bronchial artery embolisation (BAE). MATERIALS AND METHODS CTA was obtained from 60 patients with body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2 using a 256 multi-section iCT system, and they were divided into two groups: (1) group A: 100 kVp, 100 mAs, 50 ml contrast medium (CM); (2) group B: 120 kVp, automatic tube current modulation (ACTM), 80 ml CM. CT attenuation of the thoracic aorta, image noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were calculated, and subjective image quality scores and traceability scores assessed. The effective radiation dose was calculated. RESULTS The radiation dose was reduced by 79.7% in group A compared to group B (p<0.05). The CT attenuation of the thoracic aorta was increased by approximately 13% in group A compared to group B (p<0.05). Higher image noise, lower SNR, and CNR were obtained in group A compared to group B (all p<0.05). Both subjective image quality scores and traceability scores did not differ between groups A and B (both p>0.05). CONCLUSION It is feasible to use the "triple-low" dose CTA protocol for patients with a body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2. The radiation dose was reduced by 79.7%, and the dose of contrast medium was reduced by 37.5% to ensure the diagnostic value.

Abstract
Purpose Sjögren's syndrome-related dry eye (SS-related dry eye) is an intractable autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of lacrimal glands (LGs), where epigenetic factors are proven to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of this disease. However, the alteration of DNA methylation in LGs and its role in the pathogenesis of SS-related dry eye is still unknown. Here, we performed an integrated analysis of DNA methylation and RNA-Seq data in LGs to identify novel DNA methylation-regulated differentially expressed genes (MeDEGs) in the pathogenesis of SS-related dry eye. Methods The DNA methylation and transcription profiles of LGs in NOD mice at different stages of SS-related dry eye (4-, 8-, 12- and 16 weeks old) were generated by reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) and RNA-Seq. The differentially methylated genes (DMGs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed by MethylKit R package and edgeR. Correlation analysis between methylation level and mRNA expression was conducted with R software. The functional correlation of DMGs and DEGs was analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). Finally, LG tissues from another litter of NOD mice were collected for methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) to validate the methylation and expression levels of key genes. CD4+ cell infiltration of LGs was detected by immunofluorescence staining. Results Hypermethylation of LGs was identified in NOD mice with the progression of SS-related dry eye and the DMGs were mainly enriched in the GTPases activation and Ras signaling pathway. RNA-seq analysis revealed 1321, 2549, and 3712 DEGs in the 8-, 12- and 16-week-old NOD mice compared with 4-week-old normal control mice. For GO analysis, the DEGs were mainly enriched in T cell immune responses. Further, a total of 140 MeDEGs were obtained by integrated analysis of methylome and transcriptome, which were primarily enriched in T cell activation, proliferation and differentiation. Based on the main GO terms and KEGG pathways of MeDEGs, 8 genes were screened out. The expression levels of these key genes, especially Itgal, Vav1, Irf4 and Icosl, were verified to elevate after the onset of SS-related dry eye in NOD mice and positively correlated with the extent of inflammatory cell infiltration in LGs. Immunofluorescence assay revealed that CD4+ cell infiltration dramatically increased in LGs of SS-related dry eye mice compared with the control mice. And the expression levels of four genes showed significantly positive correlation with the extent of CD4+ cell infiltration in LGs. MSP showed the hypomethylation of the Irf4 and Itgal promoters in NOD mice with SS-related dry eye compared to control group. Conclusion Our study revealed the critical role of epigenetic regulation of T cell immunity-related genes in the progression of SS-related dry eye and reminded us that DNA methylation-regulated genes such as Itgal, Vav1, Irf4 and Icosl may be used as new targets for SS-related dry eye therapy.

Abstract
The recombinant genotypes that can be produced when closely related species mate improve the genetic diversity of the population. Among closely related species, the link between interspecific reproduction behaviors and genetic diversity has barely been studied. Reticulitermes chinensis and R. flaviceps, which live close to each other, were used as research subjects in our study to find out how preferring conspecifics affects reproductive behavior between species. We discovered that neither R. chinensis nor R. flaviceps displayed preference behavior for conspecifics. Males of R. chinensis and R. flaviceps chased and groomed not only intraspecific females but also interspecific females. In a brief period of time, 2 mating behaviors, intra- and interspecific mating, were also observed. There were no significant differences in the duration of each behavior (tandem, grooming, and mating) between interspecies and intraspecies partners. Moreover, genetic analysis showed both interspecific mating and intraspecific mating can produce living offspring when the 2 types of mating occur in a colony. Our findings showed that there was no obvious intraspecific preference between the 2 species of termite Reticulitermes when it came to tandem, grooming, and mating, which not only makes it easier for interspecific hybridization to occur but also sheds light on the genetic diversity.

Abstract
PURPOSE Posterior pelvic exenteration (PPE) for locally advanced rectal cancer is a technical and challenging procedure. The safety and feasibility of laparoscopic PPE remain to be determined. This study aims to compare short-term and survival outcomes of laparoscopic PPE (LPPE) with open PPE (OPPE) in female patients. METHOD From January 2015 to December 2020, data from 105 female patients who underwent PPE at three institutions were retrospectively analyzed. The short-term and oncological outcomes between LPPE and OPPE were compared. RESULTS A total of 54 cases with LPPE and 51 cases with OPPE were enrolled. The operative time (240 vs. 295 min, p = 0.009), blood loss (100 vs. 300 ml, p < 0.001), surgical site infection (SSI) rate (20.4% vs. 58.8%, p = 0.003), urinary retention rate (3.7% vs. 17.6%, p = 0.020), and postoperative hospital stay (10 vs. 13 days, p = 0.009) were significantly lower in the LPPE group. The two groups showed no significant differences in the local recurrence rate (p = 0.296), 3-year overall survival (p = 0.129), or 3-year disease-free survival (p = 0.082). A higher CEA level (HR 1.02, p = 0.002), poor tumor differentiation (HR 3.05, p = 0.004), and (y)pT4b stage (HR 2.35, p = 0.035) were independent risk factors for disease-free survival. CONCLUSION LPPE is safe and feasible for locally advanced rectal cancers and shows lower operative time and blood loss, fewer SSI complications, and better preservation of bladder function without compromising oncological outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare axial elongation in 8-11-year-old myopes wearing orthokeratology (OK) lenses with different back optic zone diameters (BOZD), defocus incorporated soft contact (DISC) lenses, and single-vision soft contact lenses (SCLs). METHODS A total of 122 children (aged 8-11 years) with spherical equivalent refraction (SER) between - 1.00 D and - 4.00 D were enrolled in this prospective study and randomly assigned to four groups: 5.0 mm-BOZD OK, 6.2 mm-BOZD OK, DISC, and single-vision SCLs. Children in each group were further divided into subgroups stratified by the average baseline SER: low myopic eyes (SER: - 1.00 D to - 2.50 D) and moderate myopic eyes (SER: - 2.50 D and over). Axial length (AL) was measured at baseline and after one year. RESULTS The 5.0 mm-BOZD OK, 6.2 mm-BOZD OK, and DISC groups exhibited significantly slower AL elongation than the SCL group. The proportion of slow progressors (AL elongation ≤ 0.18 mm/year) in the first three groups was 42%, 23%, and 29%, respectively. Furthermore, one-year AL elongation was significantly smaller in the 5.0 mm-BOZD OK group compared with the 6.2 mm-BOZD OK group. Regardless of SER, children in the 5.0 mm-BOZD OK and DISC groups showed comparably slower AL elongation than those in the SCL group. However, fitting with 6.2 mm-BOZD OK lenses significantly retarded AL elongation in moderate myopic eyes, but not in low myopic eyes. CONCLUSIONS Overall, 5.0 mm-BOZD OK lenses, 6.2 mm-BOZD OK lenses, and DISC lenses were effective in retarding AL elongation in 8-11-year-old myopes compared with single-vision SCLs, but for children with SER less than - 2.50 D, fitting with 5.0 mm-BOZD OK lenses and DISC lenses yielded better myopia control efficacy compared to wearing single-vision SCLs or 6.2 mm-BOZD OK lenses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the visual performance and image quality of concentric dual-focus-designed contact lenses (CLs) compared with single-vision CLs in myopic Chinese people. METHODS Twenty myopic volunteers aged between 18 and 26 years were recruited at a university eye hospital to wear both defocus-incorporated soft contact (DISC) lenses and single-vision CLs for 1 week in random order. High- and low-contrast visual acuity (VA), contrast sensitivity (CS), ocular higher-order aberrations (HOA), Strehl ratio and the Quality of Vision (QoV) questionnaire were assessed with each type of CL at weekly follow-up. RESULTS Distance VA was not affected by DISC lenses compared to single-vision CLs in either high (p = 0.414) or low contrast (p = 0.431). However, there was a significant reduction in low-contrast near VA with DISC lenses compared with single-vision CLs (p = 0.011). The differences of CS between DISC lenses and single-vision CLs were significantly associated with lighting conditions and spatial frequencies (F = 128.81, P < 0.001). Compared with single-vision CLs, wavefront aberrations of DISC lenses were significantly increased in total HOA, trefoil, and spherical aberrations for either 3.0 mm or 6.0 mm pupil size. The Strehl ratio wearing DISC lenses reduced significantly compared to the single-vision CLs (p < 0.001) at a pupil diameter of 6.0 mm. QoV scores were higher overall (p = 0.026) and frequency (p = 0.019) with DISC lenses than with single-vision CLs, indicating poorer visual performance. CONCLUSION DISC lenses provide satisfactory distance VA. However, the higher scores of the QoV questionnaire with DISC lenses may be related to decreased CS at medium or high spatial frequencies and increased higher-order aberrations.

BACKGROUND Prevention of myopia should begin before school age. However, few population-based cohort studies have investigated refractive status in preschool children with cycloplegia. This study aimed to investigate the post-COVID-19 refraction and ocular biometric parameters of preschool children in Beijing Tongzhou District. METHODS A population-based cohort study of kindergarten children in Tongzhou District, Beijing, commenced in November 2021. The present study reports data from the first year of the aforementioned population-based study. We selected children aged 3-6 years from nine kindergartens. Biometric parameters, including axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and corneal radius of curvature (CR), were collected before cycloplegia. Cycloplegic refraction was also measured. The spherical equivalent (SE), lens power (LP), and AL-to-CR ratio were calculated. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyse the correlation between refraction and ocular biometric parameters. RESULTS A total of 1,505 children completed the examination, and a mean SE of 1.24 ± 0.91 D was found. The overall prevalence of myopia was 1.93%. The mean AL, ACD, CR, LP, and AL-to-CR ratio were 22.24 ± 0.70 mm, 3.28 ± 0.26 mm, 7.77 ± 0.26 mm, 26.01 ± 1.56 D, and 2.86 ± 0.07, respectively. Longer AL, deeper ACD, larger AL-to-CR ratio, and lower LP were associated with older age; the CR was not significantly different among different ages. In the multiple linear regression analysis, after adjusting for sex and age, the model that included AL, CR, and LP explained 87% of the SE variation. No differences were observed in the prevalence of myopia or the SE in this particular age range. CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest that a large proportion of preschool children in Beijing are mildly hyperopic, with a considerably low prevalence of myopia. In preschool children, refractive development was found to present mild hyperopia rather than emmetropia or myopia, a phenomenon that is characteristic of this age range.

Abstract
PRECIS Lamina cribrosa thinning (thickness of ≤128.00 µm) helps to distinguish open angle glaucoma from high myopia, which was associated with the presence of microvasculature dropout and elevated intraocular pressure. PURPOSE To analyze the factors associated with lamina cribrosa (LC) thickness in highly myopic eyes with and without open-angle glaucoma. METHODS In total, 240 highly myopic eyes with γ-zones (194 eyes without and 46 eyes with open-angle glaucoma) were examined, and the lamina cribrosa center, externally oblique border, an abrupt change of scleral curvature (scleral step), deep-layer microvasculature dropout and global retinal nerve fiber layer thickness were investigated on optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography. RESULTS Lamina cribrosa were thinner in highly myopic open-angle glaucoma compared with high myopia alone (107.76±9.86 µm VS 137.07±18.51 µm, P<0.001), which was associated with deep-layer microvasculature dropout and elevated intraocular pressure. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for detecting open-angle glaucoma from the lamina cribrosa thickness was 0.964, which was statistically higher (P<0.05) than from the global retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (0.921) and vertical cup-to-disc ratio (0.902). A lamina cribrosa thickness cut-off value of 128 µm provided 100% sensitivity for detecting open-angle glaucoma with 84% specificity. CONCLUSION Highly myopic eyes with open-angle glaucoma appear to have a thinner lamina cribrosa, which was associated with elevated intraocular pressure and deep-layer microvasculature dropout. lamina cribrosa thinning (≤128.00 µm) helps distinguish open-angle glaucoma from high myopia with an abnormal retinal nerve fiber layer thickness distribution and unclear shallow disc cupping.

Abstract
Purpose: To quantify the morphology of eyeballs with posterior staphyloma (PS) with Zernike decomposition and to explore the association between Zernike coefficients with existing PS classification.Methods: Fifty-three eyes with high myopia (HM, ≤-6.00D) and 30 with PS were included. PS was classified with traditional methods based on OCT findings. Eyeballs’ morphology was obtained with 3D MRI, from which the height map of the posterior surface was extracted. Zernike decomposition was performed to derive the coefficients of the 1st-27th items, which were compared between HM and PS eyes with the Mann-Whitney-U test. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis was used to test the effectiveness of using Zernike coefficients to discriminate PS from HM.Results: Compared to HM eyeballs, PS eyeballs had significantly increased vertical and horizontal tilt, oblique astigmatism, defocus, vertical and horizontal coma, and higher order aberrations (HOA) (all Ps < 0.05). HOA was the most effective in PS classification with an area under the ROC curve (AUROC) value of 0.977. Among the 30 PS, 19 were the wide macular type with large defocus and negative spherical aberration; 4 were the narrow macular type with positive spherical aberration; 3 were inferior PS with greater vertical tilt, and 4were peripapillary PS with larger horizontal tilt.Conclusion: PS eyes have significantly increased Zernike coefficients, and HOA is the most effective parameter to differentiate PS from HM. The geometrical meaning of the Zernike components showed great accordance with PS classification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the vision-related quality of life (VRQoL) between Defocus Incorporated Soft Contact (DISC) lenses and single-vision spectacles in Chinese children, in order to evaluate their visual performance and subjective acceptance of this bifocal designed contact lenses treatment. METHODS Chinese participants aged 7 to 12 years, with myopia of -4.00 to -0.75 D, astigmatism < 1.50 D, and monocular best-corrected visual acuity 0.0 or better, were recruited in the study. All participants had been wearing DISC lenses, or single-vision spectacles, for the last 6 to 18 months and were requested to complete the routine ocular examination and Chinese version of the Pediatric Refractive Error Profile (PREP 2) questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 7 scales: vision, symptoms, appearance, activities, handling, peer perception, and overall score. According to their habitual correction modalities, fifty-four children were allocated to the DISC group and 56 to the single-vision spectacles group. A generalized linear model was fitted to assess variables associated with the PREP 2 score. RESULTS Participants wearing DISC lenses scored significantly higher than those wearing single-vision spectacles for vision, appearance, activities, peer perception, and overall (all P < 0.05). The improvement of VRQoL in the DISC group was mainly represented in appearance, peer perception, and activities. The quality of life improved more for older participants on scales of vision, symptoms, handling, appearance, and overall score (all P < 0.05). The interaction between treatment and age was statistically significant for the activities scale (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION DISC lens wear significantly improves VRQoL in Chinese children compared with single-vision spectacles for most of the survey scales, especially in the areas of appearance, peer perception, and activities. The benefits provided by DISC lenses contribute to greater satisfaction than single-vision spectacles for myopic children.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare axial elongation, relative corneal refractive power (RCRP) distribution within the pupillary diameter, and corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) in myopic children wearing orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses with different back optic zone diameters (BOZD). METHODS Children aged 8-11 years were fitted with 5.0 or 6.2 mm-BOZD ortho-k lenses (groups A and B, respectively). Axial length (AL) and corneal topography were measured at baseline and during the annual visit. RCRP and corneal HOAs were compared between the two groups after one-year treatment. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to determine the association between AL elongation and RCRP parameters, corneal HOAs, and other variables between the groups. RESULTS After one-year treatment, axial elongation was slower in group A than in group B, with a difference of 0.15 mm. Children in group A showed smaller treatment zone size, smaller 3/4X value (describing the distance from the apex RCRP profile rising to its three-quarter-peak level), greater RCRP sum value within the pupillary area, and higher increases in corneal total HOAs and horizontal coma (Z31). AL elongation was significantly correlated with baseline age, baseline spherical equivalent refraction (SER), treatment zone size, and 3/4X value. CONCLUSIONS Ortho-k lenses designed with smaller BOZD increased myopia control efficacy, induced a steeper distribution of the RCRP profile within the pupillary diameter, and induced greater increases in corneal total HOAs and horizontal coma (Z31). Lens-induced RCRP profile within pupillary diameter, rising to its three-quarter-peak level at a smaller distance, may show a better myopia control effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutritional status influences the growth and development of the eyes. However, there are few studies on the association between diet, especially whole grains (WG) consumption, and myopia. The study aimed to evaluate the association between WG intake and myopia prevalence among primary school-age children in China. METHODS This cross-sectional epidemiological study conducted between November 2019 and December 2019 included 586 children, aged 6-12 years, attending primary school in Binhai district, Tianjin, China. Ophthalmologic examinations and optometric cycloplegic refraction measurements were conducted. Information was collected on known risks and protective factors for myopia and the consumption of WGs, vegetables, and fruits. This association between the probability of myopia and the proportion of WG consumption (WG proportion was calculated as the mean intake from WG sources divided by total grain intake), adjusted for protective and risk factors, was analysed using crude and multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS Among the study participants, 226/586 (38.57%) children had myopia in at least one eye. WG intake was inversely correlated with the prevalence of myopia. Furthermore, in the multivariate analysis, WG intake of > 50% was identified as a protective factor against myopia after subsequent adjustment for children's age, sex, parental myopia, near-work activity, screen time, reading and writing habits, visual fatigue, outdoor time, and classroom light environment (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION WG intake (> 50%) was an independent protective factor against myopia. Modifying the form of grains consumed (whole versus refined) could be one of the targets of future public health measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research on short-term outcomes and long-term oncological results of laparoscopic pelvic exenteration (LPE) for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is still limited. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of LPE and open pelvic exenteration (OPE). METHODS Between January 2010 and December 2019, consecutive LARC patients who underwent radical pelvic exenteration at Peking University First Hospital were enrolled. Groups were matched at a 1:1 ratio using propensity score matching. The primary endpoints were 3 year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). The secondary endpoints were postoperative short-term outcomes. RESULTS There were 144 patients (68 males and 76 females, median age 58.5 [range 27.0-86.0] years). After matching, patients were stratified into LPE (n = 48) and OPE (n = 48) groups (LPE: 24 males and 24 females, median age 57.0 [range 27.0-81.0] years; OPE: 26 males and 22 females, median age 58.0[range 36.0-80.0] years). There were no significant differences on baseline data between the two groups. Compared with the OPE group, the LPE group had a significantly lower estimated blood loss (200 vs 500 ml, p = 0.003), less overall postoperative complications (12/48 vs 25/48, p = 0.006), less surgical site infection (8/48 vs 20/48, p = 0.007), shorter length of stay (12 vs. 15 days, p = 0.005), but similar operative time (344 vs. 360 min, p = 0.493). The pathological R0 resection rate (98.0% vs. 93.7%, p = 0.610), 3 year local recurrence (18.4% vs. 23.5, p = 0.140), 3 year OS (74.6% vs. 65.5%, p = 0.290) and 3-year DFS (60.0% vs. 50.3%, p = 0.208) were similar between the two groups. Shorter distance from anal verge (HR = 0.92, p = 0.042), (y) pT4b (HR = 2.45, p = 0.023), (y)pN1-2 (HR = 2.42, p = 0.004) and positive CRM (HR = 6.23, p = 0.004) were independent prognostic risks for 3 year DFS. CONCLUSIONS LPE can be performed safely and has certain short-term advantages over OPE, most notably less blood loss and surgical site infection. However, LPE does not improve long-term oncological outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose To predict the need for cycloplegic assessment, as well as refractive state under cycloplegia, based on non-cycloplegic ocular parameters in school-age children. Design Random cluster sampling. Methods The cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2018 to January 2019. Random cluster sampling was used to select 2,467 students aged 6-18 years. All participants were from primary school, middle school and high school. Visual acuity, optical biometry, intraocular pressure, accommodation lag, gaze deviation in primary position, non-cycloplegic and cycloplegic autorefraction were conducted. A binary classification model and a three-way classification model were established to predict the necessity of cycloplegia and the refractive status, respectively. A regression model was also developed to predict the refractive error using machine learning algorithms. Results The accuracy of the model recognizing requirement of cycloplegia was 68.5-77.0% and the AUC was 0.762-0.833. The model for prediction of SE had performances of R^2 0.889-0.927, MSE 0.250-0.380, MAE 0.372-0.436 and r 0.943-0.963. As the prediction of refractive error status, the accuracy and F1 score was 80.3-81.7% and 0.757-0.775, respectively. There was no statistical difference between the distribution of refractive status predicted by the machine learning models and the one obtained under cycloplegic conditions in school-age students. Conclusion Based on big data acquisition and machine learning techniques, the difference before and after cycloplegia can be effectively predicted in school-age children. This study provides a theoretical basis and supporting evidence for the epidemiological study of myopia and the accurate analysis of vision screening data and optometry services.

Abstract
α-Farnesene is a sesquiterpene present in plants. It was first discovered in apples. It plays an important role in the plant defence response and is considered a key factor in the occurrence of superficial scald. The gene encoding α-farnesene synthase, which is the last key enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of α-farnesene in apple fruit, has become the primary target enzyme for controlling the genetic manipulation of α-farnesene biosynthesis. In this study, the yeast one-hybrid assay and the dual luciferase assay were used to ascertain the relationship between MdLSD1 and MdAFS. Real-time PCR was used to analyse the molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of MdAFS by MdLSD1. Our results revealed that transcription factor MdLSD1, which is closely related to programmed cell death in apple fruit tissues, binds to MdAFS. Transient transformation of apple skin with vectors overexpressing MdLSD1 showed that the gene negatively regulates MdAFS. Overall, we suggest that MdLSD1 negatively regulates MdAFS. Our results are of great significance for future research on the transcriptional regulation of the α-farnesene synthase gene and provide a new direction for exploring the specific mechanism of programmed cell death involved in superficial-scald incidence.

Abstract
Pathogenic Th17 cells drive autoimmune pathology, but the molecular mechanisms underlying Th17 pathogenicity remain poorly understood. Here, we have shown that miR-181a-5p was significantly decreased in pathogenic Th17 cells, and it negatively regulated pathogenic Th17 cell responses in vitro and in vivo. Th17 cells overexpressing miR-181a-5p exhibited impaired ability to induce pathogenesis in an adoptive transfer model of experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU). Mechanistically, miR-181a-5p directly targeted AKT3, diminishing AKT3-mediated phosphorylation of FOXO3, and thereby activating FOXO3, a transcriptional repressor of pathogenic Th17 cell program. Supporting this, decreasing miR-181a-5p and up-regulated AKT3 expression were found in uveitis patients. Furthermore, intravitreal administration of miR-181a-5p mimics in mice effectively attenuated clinical and pathological signs of established EAU. Collectively, our results reveal a previously unappreciated T cell-intrinsic role of miR-181a-5p in restraining autoimmunity and may provide a potential therapeutic target for uveitis treatment. MiR-181a-5p inhibits Th17 cell pathogenicity and EAU development AKT3 is a direct target of miR-181a-5p in pathogenic Th17 cells MiR-181a-5p represses Th17 cell responses by regulating AKT3-FOXO3 signaling MYC acts as an upstream suppressor of miR-181a-5p in pathogenic Th17 cells

Abstract
Background Mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (MSC-sEVs) have been increasingly proved as promising immunomodulators against some autoimmune disorders. However, the possible effect and the underlying mechanism of MSC-sEVs in autoimmune dry eye have been rarely studied. Methods Small extracellular vesicles from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC-sEVs) were subconjunctivally injected to rabbit dry eye model, and their preventive or therapeutical effects were assessed by recording the clinical and histological scores. Quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR), western blot and flow cytometry were performed to evaluate the immunomodulatory effects of hUC-MSC-sEVs on macrophages and T regulatory cells (Tregs) both in vivo and in vitro, and the in vitro T cell proliferation was detected by Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) assay. In addition, high expression of miR-100-5p in hUC-MSC-sEVs was identified by Q-PCR, and the functional role of sEVs-miR-100-5p on macrophages was explored by a series of co-culture experiments using sEVs derived from hUC-MSCs transfected with miR-100-5p inhibitor. Results We firstly demonstrated that hUC-MSC-sEVs had the preventive and therapeutical effects on rabbit autoimmune dacryoadenitis, an animal model of Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) dry eye. Further investigation revealed that hUC-MSC-sEVs administration effectively elicited macrophages into an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype and elevated the proportion of Tregs both in vivo and in vitro, which contributed to reduced inflammation and improved tissue damage. Importantly, hUC-MSC-sEVs-educated macrophages with M2-like phenotype exhibited strong capacity to inhibit CD4+ T cell proliferation and promote Treg generation in vitro. Mechanistically, miR-100-5p was highly enriched in hUC-MSC-sEVs, and knockdown of miR-100-5p in hUC-MSC-sEVs partially blunted the promotion of hUC-MSC-sEVs on M2 macrophage polarization and even attenuated the effect of hUC-MSC-sEVs-educated macrophages on T cell suppression and Treg expansion. Conclusion Our data indicated that hUC-MSC-sEVs alleviated autoimmune dacryoadenitis by promoting M2 macrophage polarization and Treg generation possibly through shuttling miR-100-5p. This study sheds new light on the application of MSC-sEVs as a promising therapeutic method for SS dry eye.

Abstract
BackgroundConnective tissue disease (CTD) associated pulmonary hypertension (PH) is classified as a subgroup of WHO group 1 PH, also called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). However, not all CTD-PH fit the hemodynamic definition of PAH. This study investigates the diversity of hemodynamical types of CTD-PH, their different clinical characteristics and outcomes.ObjectivesThis study investigates the diversity of hemodynamical types of CTD-PH, their different clinical characteristics and outcomes.MethodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study. CTD-PH patients underwent right heart catheterization (RHC) were enrolled and divided into WHO group1 PH, WHO group 2 PH and high output PH (PVR<3WU and PAWP<15mmHg) according to hemodynamic features. Patients with obvious lung diseases, left heart disease and pulmonary embolism were excluded. Baseline characteristics, inflammatory markers, autoantibodies, cardiac function status, echocardiogram parameters, hemodynamics and survival rates were compared.Results207 CTD-PH patients were included, including 139 in WHO group 1 PH, 36 in WHO group 2 PH and 32 in high output PH. Incidence of anti-ribonucleoprotein antibody was lower in WHO Group 2 PH. High output PH is less severe, presenting lower NT-proBNP level, better WHO functional class, lower mPAP and PVR, higher cardiac output, and less cardiac remodeling. Among patients with elevated PAWP, combine pre& post-capillary PH had higher mPAP and larger right ventricle diameter. Association of mild to moderate interstitial lung disease didn’t show significant difference in disease characteristics. Short-term survival was significantly worse in WHO group 2 PH, yet 5-year survival rates didn’t differ between groups.ConclusionPre-capillary PH is not the only hemodynamic type of CTD-PH. Different types of CTD-PH present different clinical phenotypes and outcome. Carefully phenotyping PH in CTD-PH patients is important.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
Background The increase in the prevalence of myopia has become a matter of serious public health concern, and few studies to date have examined the ocular biometric parameters of myopia in young Chinese adults. This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal ocular biometric and refractive development of first-year university students and the influence of near work. Methods This study included 526 first-year university students from Tianjin Medical University (mean age, 18.34 years; 313 females and 213 males). From 2016 to 2018, participants underwent ocular biometry measurements and subjective refraction annually. Near-work activities such as the use of electronic devices, online games, reading, and writing as well as demographic data were recorded by questionnaires. Results The prevalence of myopia in this population from 2016 to 2018 was 92.40%, 92.59%, and 92.97%, respectively. Importantly, the prevalence of high myopia increased significantly from 20.91% to 28.33% (P < .001). The spherical equivalent refraction was significantly more myopic by approximately − 0.38 D (from − 4.18 ± 2.44 to − 4.56 ± 2.57 D; P < .001) during the period. The axial length, central corneal thickness, and lens thickness became significantly different (all P < .05), and the axial length significantly increased by 0.12 mm during 2 years (P < .001). Using binary logistic regression analysis, the data indicated that spending more time on online games (odds ratio, 2.09; 95% confidence interval, 1.33–3.29) could speed up the progression of myopia (P < .05). Conclusions This study showed that the prevalence of high myopia continued to increase in undergraduate students over 2 years. Baseline myopia correlated with myopic shift, the time spent on online games, and parental myopia were significantly associated with an increase in myopia in these young adult populations.

Abstract
Background To confirm the association between treatment-zone (TZ) decentration and axial length growth (ALG) in children who underwent orthokeratology; and to explore the association between TZ decentration and relative corneal refractive power (RCRP) profile, which was known to be significantly associated with ALG retardation. Methods Four hundred myopic children of age 12 years participated in the study, with 200 wearing orthokeratology lenses and the other 200 wearing single-vision spectacle as the controls. Cycloplegic refraction was performed at baseline. Axial length was measured at baseline and 12 months after initial lens wear, and ALG was defined as the difference. In the ortho-k group, TZ decentration and the RCRP map were calculated from the topography map obtained at the 12-month visit. RCRP were summed within various chord radii from the cornea center, and the association to TZ decentration, spherical equivalent (SE), ALG were analyzed with linear regressions. Results Compared to the controls, children wearing orthokeratology lenses had significantly smaller ALG over 1 year (0.1 ± 0.15 mm vs. 0.32 ± 0.17 mm, p < 0.001). ALG was significantly and negatively associated with summed RCRP within the central cornea of 2 mm in radius. The mean TZ decentration was 0.62 ± 0.25 mm, and the mean direction was 214.26 ± 7.39 degrees. ALG was negatively associated with the TZ decentration magnitude (p < 0.01), but not the direction (p = 0.905). TZ decentration caused an asymmetrical distribution of the RCRP with the nasal side plus power shifting towards the corneal center. For chord radius ranging 1-2 mm, the association between TZ decentration and the summed RCRP were significant, and the proportion of variance accountable increased with chord radius. For chord radius beyond 1.5 mm, the association between baseline spherical equivalent (SE) and summed RCRP was significant. The portion of variance accountable by SE increased and peaked in 2.5 mm chord radius. Conclusions A larger TZ decentration was associated with a larger summed RCRP in the central cornea. It may be one of the possible reasons why TZ decentration is beneficial to retarding myopia progression.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intra-arterial tirofiban infusion during endovascular reperfusion therapy in patients with acute cardiogenic cerebral embolism. Methods: Clinical data of 72 patients with acute cardiogenic cerebral embolism caused by large artery occlusion were retrospectively analyzed in Department of Neurology, Strategic Support Force Medical Center from August 2015 to August 2020.Among those, 52 patients were treated with intra-arterial tirofiban, the other 20 patients were treated with control medication. The baseline characteristics, modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (mTICI) score of responsible vessels, modified Rankin scale (mRS) score 90 days after operation, incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and mortality were evaluated and compared in two groups. Results: The proportion of effective recanalization of the offending vessels (mTICI≥2b) in tirofiban group was higher than that in control group (92.3% vs. 75.0%), but the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.104). At 90 days after operation, the rate of patients with good prognosis (mRS≤2) in tirofiban group (61.5%) was significantly higher than that in control group (35.0%) (P<0.05). The incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and mortality were comparable between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Intra-arterial tirofiban infusion in patients with acute cardiogenic cerebral embolism is effective and feasible, which improves the prognosis without increasing the risk of intracranial bleeding complications.

Abstract
Background: To investigate the correlation between the corneal biomechanical parameter stress-strain index (SSI) and axial length (AL) in moderately elongated eye (MEE) and severely elongated eye (SEE). Methods: This study included 117 eyes from 117 participants. Among them, 59 (50.4%) had MEE (AL<26 mm) and 58 (49.6%) had SEE (AL≥26 mm). AL was measured using Lenstar LS-900, and central corneal thickness (CCT) and anterior chamber volume (ACV) were measured using Pentacam. SSI was measured via corneal visualisation Scheimpflug technology (Corvis ST). Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Student’s t-test, and Pearson and partial correlation analyses were used for statistical analyses. Results: The mean (±SD) SSI was 1.08 ± 0.15 in the MEE group and 0.92 ± 0.13 in the SEE group (p < 0.01). SSI was positively correlated with age (MEE: r = 0.326, p < 0.05; SEE: r = 0.298, p < 0.05) in both groups; it was negatively correlated with AL (r = −0.476, p < 0.001) in the MEE group but not in the SEE group (p > 0.05). CCT was negatively correlated with AL (r = −0.289, p < 0.05) and ACV positively correlated with AL (r = 0.444, p < 0.001) in the MEE group. Neither CCT nor ACV was correlated with AL (p > 0.05) in the SEE group. Conclusion: Corneal biomechanical parameter SSI, which represents the stiffness of corneal tissue, was lower in the SEE group than in the MEE group. When analyzed separately, SSI was negatively correlated with AL in the MEE group, but not in the SEE group, which may provide insight into different ocular growth patterns between lower myopia and higher myopia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to determine the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the RELN gene and schizophrenia. METHODS 134 patients aged 16 to 58 (mean, 38.0) years who were diagnosed with acute or chronic schizophrenia at the Zhongshan Third People's Hospital between January 2018 and April 2020 were recruited, as were 64 healthy controls aged 22 to 59 (mean, 45.6) years who matched with the age and sex of the patients. MassARRAY mass spectrometry genotyping technology was used to determine the genotypes of four SNPs of RELN (rs2073559, rs2229864, rs362691, and rs736707). RESULTS There were no significant between-group or between-sex differences in terms of genotype, allele frequency, or haplotype frequency of the SNPs (all p > 0.05). In the association analysis between genotypes and quantitative traits in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, rs2229864 and rs736707 were associated with the scores for items P3 (hallucinatory behaviour) and G11 (attention disorder), and rs362691 was associated with G10 (disorientation). However, the associations did not remain significant after Bonferroni correction. CONCLUSION Multiple pathogenic polymorphisms of RELN might be associated with hallucinatory behaviour and attention disorder in Chinese patients with schizophrenia.

Abstract
Purpose: To establish the time course of the subjective visual function changes during the first month of orthokeratology treatment in myopic children, and to investigate how the time course variations are associated with the objective optical quality changes and the axial length growth (ALG) after 1 year of treatment. Methods: A total of 58 myopic children aged from 8 to 16 years participated in this self-controlled prospective study. All subjects were fitted with designed spherical four-zone orthokeratology lenses. Subjective visual function was evaluated with orientation discrimination threshold (ODT), and objective optical quality was quantified with the high-order aberration root-mean-square (HOA-RMS) and the changing speed of HOA. The measurements were done before the lens fitting and 1 day, 1-, 2-, and 4-weeks after lens wear. Axial length was obtained at baseline and 1-year follow-up, and ALG was defined as the difference. One-way ANOVA was conducted to compare the difference for statistical analysis. Results: After lens fitting, the ODT time courses peaked on day 1 in 28 children, 1 week in 15 children, 2 weeks in 11 children, and 4 weeks in 4 children. In contrast, the HOA-RMS steadily rose during the first month, and the changing speed of HOA was only transiently elevated on day 1 after the initial lens wear. The ALG was 0.12 ± 0.20 mm in subjects whose ODT peaked at day 1, 0.08 ± 0.09 mm in subjects whose ODT peaked on 1-week, and 0.12 ± 0.15 mm in subjects whose ODT peaked on 2-week or later. There was no difference in axial growth among the subjects whose ODT peaked at different days (P = 0.734). Conclusion: While half ODT time course resembled the changing speed of HOA with a transient elevation on day 1, about a quarter of the ODT time course resemble the steadily rising of HOA-RMS, and the rest was located in the middle. The ALGs in children with different types of ODT time courses were similar.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the protective effect of dust masks worn by super absorbent polymer (SAP) dust-exposed workers and the influence of each test exercise on the protective effect of mask. Methods: In March 2017, forty nine SAP dust-exposed workers in a large chemical enterprise were selected as subjects. The respirator fitness tester was used to test the protective effect of dust mask before and after training, and the influence of each test exercise on the protective effect of dust mask was analyzed. Results: After training, the qualified rate of dust mask protective effect of SAP dust-exposed workers was 95.92% (47/49) , which was significantly higher than that before training [63.31% (32/49) ], and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=14.69, P<0.01) . When the total protective effect was qualified, the fit factor (FF) decreased significantly when speaking aloud and bending down (Z=-2.59, -4.20, P<0.01) . The qualified rates of protective effect of each exercise were significantly different (χ2=42.70, P<0.01) , among which the qualified rates of deep breath was the highest (100.00%) , and the qualified rate of bending down was the lowest (70.21%) . Conclusion: Strengthening the training of workers to wear masks correctly is helpful to improve their respiratory protection efficiency. Under the condition that the total protective effect of dust masks is qualified, workers should try to avoid unnecessary actions, especially speaking aloud and bending down frequently.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate whether the treatment zone size (TZS) and treatment zone decentration (TZD) will affect the axial elongation in myopic children undergoing orthokeratology treatment. METHODS A self-controlled retrospective study was conducted on 352 children who met the inclusion criteria. Axial length was measured before and at 12 months after the initial lens wear. Corneal topography was measured at baseline and at each follow-up after lens wear. The Corneal topography obtained from the 12-month visit was used to quantify TZS and TZD for each subject. Cycloplegic refraction was required for all children before fitting the orthokeratology lenses. RESULTS Axial elongation was significantly associated with age, baseline spherical equivalent (SE), TZS, and TZD with univariate linear regression. In groups with both small and large TZS, axial elongation was significantly decreased with large TZD (both P < 0.01). In groups with both small and large TZD, axial elongation was significantly decreased with small TZS (P = 0.03 for small TZD, P = 0.01 for large TZD). Age, SE, and TZD were significantly associated with axial elongation in multiple regression (all P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Relatively smaller TZS and larger TZD may be beneficial in slowing myopia progression in children with orthokeratology treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical and molecular pathologic features of uterine inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (UIMT). Methods: Six UIMT cases collected at Department of Pathology, Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University from 2019 to 2020. They were analyzed for their general characteristics and clinicopathologic features. ALK rearrangements were detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Results: The age of the six patients ranged from 14 to 65 years, the tumors ranged in size from 2.5 to 6.0 cm. The masses were intramural or submucosal in location. Most of them (4/6) were white with yellow foci, and two (2/6) were white with tan foci. Other features noted included a soft or firm appearance. The fasciitis-like pattern of UIMT had myxoid stroma around the spindle cells and inflammatory cells. The ganglion-like pattern showed either fascicular or storiform architecture with diffuse growth. Nuclear atypia was mild or moderate. Mitoses ranged from 2 to 4 per 10 high-power fields. Five tumors were ALK-positive with granular cytoplasmic staining by immunohistochemistry. ALK rearrangements were detected in five cases but was absent in one case. Conclusions: UIMT is an intermediate grade soft tissue tumor, a minority may present with extrauterine spread and/or recurrence. The tumors are composed of spindled cells. The main differentials include smooth muscle tumors and endometrial stromal tumors and their morphology may overlap with that of UIMT. Immunohistochemical positivity for ALK or FISH testing for ALK rearrangements can help in the diagnosis.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate related factors with the change of spherical equivalents (ΔSE) and determine the suitable predictor of clinically significant ΔSE (≥0.50 D) with cyclopentolate hydrochloride on Chinese children. METHODS A total of 145 right eyes of 145 children aged 4 to 15y were enrolled. Intraocular pressure, axial length and lag of accommodation (LOA) were assessed before cycloplegia induced by 3 drops of 1% cyclopentolate at 5-minute intervals. SE was measured before and 1h after the first drop of cyclopentolate. ΔSE was compared between different gender groups and among refractive groups. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to find related factors with ΔSE. ROC analysis was used to figure out the suitable predictor of clinically significant ΔSE. RESULTS For the total 145 eyes, the mean SE reached up to -0.70±1.86 D from -1.30±1.62 D, with the mean ΔSE of 0.60±0.55 D. The mean ΔSE were 0.63±0.55 D and 0.57±0.56 D respectively in the male and female group (P=0.40). The mean ΔSE was significantly different among different refractive groups (P<0.0001), with the ΔSE of hyperopia group (1.12±0.64 D) larger than that of the emmetropia (0.56±0.43 D, P=0.001) and myopia group (0.32±0.28 D, P<0.0001). The ΔSE was correlated with LOA (B=-0.54, P<0.0001), cycloplegic SE (B=0.10, P<0.0001) and age (B=-0.04, P=0.015). ROC curve indicated that LOA predicted clinically significant ΔSE by 82% [area under the curve (AUC)=0.82] alone, while the value was slightly improved to 85% (AUC=0.85) in combination with axial length and 86% (AUC=0.86) in association with axial length as well as age. CONCLUSION After cycloplegia with cyclopentolate, the ΔSE decreases with larger LOA, longer axial length and older age. Specifically, LOA plays a more vital role in predicting clinically significant ΔSE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the necessity of cycloplegia for epidemiological studies of refraction in Chinese young adults (aged 17-22 years) with dark irises, and to compare the cycloplegic effects of 1% cyclopentolate and 0.5% tropicamide in them. METHODS A total of 300 young adults (108 males and 192 females) aged 17 to 22 years (mean 19.03 ± 1.01) were recruited from Tianjin Medical University from November 2019 to January 2020. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. In the cyclopentolate group, two drops of 1% cyclopentolate eye drop were administrated (one drop every 5 min), followed by autorefraction and subjective refraction 30 to 45 min later. In the tropicamide group, four drops of 1% Mydrin P (Tropicamide 0.5%, phenylephrine HCl 0.5%) eye drop were given (one drop every 5 min), followed by autorefraction and subjective refraction 20 to 30 min later. The participants and the examiners were masked to the medication. Distance visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), non-cycloplegic and cycloplegic autorefraction (Topcon KR-800, Topcon Co. Tokyo, Japan), non-cycloplegic and cycloplegic subjective refraction and ocular biometry (Lenstar LS-900) were performed. RESULTS The values of spherical equivalent (SE) and sphere component were significantly different before and after cycloplegia in the cyclopentolate group and the tropicamide group (p < 0.05). The mean difference between noncycloplegic and cycloplegic autorefraction SE was 0.39 D (±0.66 D) in the cyclopentolate group and 0.39 D (±0.34 D) in the tropicamide group. There was no significant difference in the change of SE and sphere component after cycloplegia between the cyclopentolate group and the tropicamide group (p > 0.05). In each group, no significant difference was found between autorefraction and subjective refraction after cycloplegia (p > 0.05). We also found that more positive or less negative cycloplegic refraction was associated with the higher difference in SE in each group. CONCLUSIONS Cycloplegic refractions were generally more positive or less negative than non-cycloplegic refractions. It is necessary to perform cycloplegia for Chinese young adults with dark irises to obtain accurate refractive errors. We suggest that cycloplegic autorefraction using tropicamide may be considered as a reliable method for epidemiological studies of refraction in Chinese young adults with dark irises. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered on September 7, 2019 (Registration number: ChiCTR1900025774 ).

Abstract
Purpose: To explore how Fourier parameters are associated with axial length growth (ALG) and clinical parameters in children who underwent orthokeratology.Materials and Methods: A total of 267 children received orthokeratology. Baseline cycloplegic autorefraction was performed. Axial length was measured at baseline and one year after the lens dispatch, and the difference was defined as ALG. Corneal topography was performed at the same two visits. Central treatment zone (CTZ) was identified from the difference between the two tangential maps, and its center distance to corneal center was defined as decentration. A relative refractive corneal power (RCRP) map was derived by subtracting the center value from every point on the one-year axial map. It was decomposed into 3 Fourier components: a mean (F0), a single-cycle sinewave (F1), and a double-cycle sinewave (F2). Linear regressions were used to reveal the association between ALG and these parameters.Results: At baseline, the age was 10.18 ± 1.48 year, spherical equivalent (SE) was - 3.10 ± 1.15D, astigmatism was 1.17 ± 0.58D, and axial length was 24.69 ± 0.81 mm. The mean ALG was 0.181 ± 0.22 mm. In multiple regression, ALG was negatively associated with F1 (p < .001), not F0 and F2. Amplitude-wise, F0 and F1 were correlated with decentration (p < .01) and SE (p < .01), and F2 was associated with astigmatism (p < .001). Direction-wise, F1 was correlated with decentration (p < .001) and F2 was associated with astigmatism (p < .001).Conclusions: Among Fourier parameters, F0 and F1 were negatively associated with ALG in myopic children undergoing orthokeratology. Their associations to SE and CTZ decentration may partially explain the effect on ALG retardation.

Abstract
Atropine, a non-selective muscarinic antagonist, is known to slow down myopia progression in human adolescents and in several animal models. However, its underlying molecular mechanism is unclear. The present work built a monocular form-deprivation myopia (FDM) guinea pig model, using facemasks as well as atropine treatment on FDM eyes for 2 and 4 weeks. Retinal protein changes in response to the FDM and effects of topical administration of atropine were screened for the two periods using fractionated isobaric tags for a relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) approach coupled with nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nano-LC-MS/MS) (n=24, 48 eyes). Retinal tissues from another cohort receiving 4-weeks FDM with atropine treatment (n=12, 24 eyes) with more significant changes were subjected to sequential window acquisition of all theoretical mass spectra (SWATH-MS) proteomics for further protein target confirmation. A total of 1695 proteins (8875 peptides) and 5961 proteins (51871 peptides) were identified using iTRAQ and SWATH approaches, respectively. Using the Paragon algorithm in the ProteinPilotTM software, the three most significantly up-regulated and down-regulated proteins that were commonly found in both ITRAQ and SWATH experiments are presented. All raw data generated from the work were submitted and published in the Peptide Atlas public repository (http://www.peptideatlas.org/) for general release (Data ID PASS01507).

Abstract
Background To investigate the new cornea biomechanical parameter stress-strain index (SSI) in Chinese healthy people and the factors associated with SSI. Methods A total of 175 eyes from 175 participants were included in this study. Axial length was measured with the Lenstar LS-900. Pentacam measured curvature of the cornea and anterior chamber volume (ACV). Cornea biomechanical properties assessments were performed by corneal visualization Scheimpflug technology (Corvis ST). Student’s t-test, one-way ANOVA, partial least square linear regression (PLSLR) and linear mixed effects (LME) model were used in the statistical analysis. Results The mean (±SD) SSI was 1.14 ± 0.22 (range, 0.66–1.78) in all subjects and affected by age significantly after age of 35 (P < 0.05). In LME models, SSI was significantly associated with age (β = 0.526, P < 0.001), axial length (AL) (β = − 0.541, P < 0.001), intraocular pressure (IOP) (β = 0.326, P < 0.001) and steepest radius of anterior corneal curvature (RsF) (β = 0.229, P < 0.001) but not with ACV, biomechanical corrected intraocular pressure (bIOP), flattest radius of anterior corneal curvature (RfF) or central corneal thickness (CCT) (P > 0.05 for each). Conclusions SSI increased with age after the age of 35. In addition to age, SSI was positively correlated with RsF and IOP, while negatively correlated with AL.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
During transcatheter aortic/mitral valve replacement (TA/MVR), current available routes are limited due to unfavorable entry-angle, vessel-anatomy or mini-thoracotomy. Through created communication of inter-ventricular septum (C-IVS), transfemoral venous transcatheter access to left ventricle becomes feasible with the assistance of arterio-venous circuit.
Purpose
The study was conducted to investigate the feasibility and safety of transfemoral-venous transcatheter access to left ventricle through the created C-IVS in a swine model.
Methods
Via femoral artery, transcatheter puncture of mid-IVS was performed with the custom-made nickel-titanium needle (0.038-inch, needle-tip bent 60 degrees automatically associated with increased hardness when temperature was above 30°C) and 6F-sheath in 20 healthy Chinese mini-swine. Then femoral arterio-venous circuit was established through created C-IVS with hydrophilic guidewire in all swine, and femoral veno-venous circuit was further created through C-IVS and atrial septum in 4 swine. After pre-dilation of C-IVS, a 20F-sheath was introduced into left ventricle transvenously over the guidewire. Furthermore, transfemoral-venous TAVR was attempted with this approach in one swine. C-IVS was evaluated postoperatively and was further confirmed pathologically 2 months later.
Results
All transcatheter puncture of IVS was performed successfully in left ventricle and the thickness of mid-IVS was 7.67±0.98 mm. During the puncture, ventricular fibrillation occurred in one swine (successfully defibrillation) and only isolated ventricular premature beats/non-sustained ventricular tachycardia were observed in other swine. In all swine, femoral arterio-venous/veno-venous circuit was established via C-IVS, and the 20F-sheath was introduced into left ventricle safely through femoral vein and C-IVS. With the aid of vessel circuit, the 20F-sheath was further advanced into aorta in 16 swine (the entry-angle was 145.3±12.2 degrees) and into left atrium in 4 swine. After the procedure, there was one swine with moderate tricuspid regurgitation and 5 swine with mild residual shunt (2.6±0.7 mm). In addition, epicardial coronary arteries were normal in all swine. Two months later, residual shunt was still detected in 3 swine and the communication was confirmed pathologically. In other swine, there was no defect of IVS and mild replacement-scar was identified along C-IVS. In the swine underwent transfemoral-venous TAVR, prosthetic valve was deployed successfully with good function.
Conclusions
With the aid of vessel circuit, transfemoral-venous transcatheter access to left ventricle is feasible and safe via C-IVS, and transfemoral-venous TAVR was achieved successfully using this novel approach with favorable entry-angle.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of Grand Seiko Ref/Keratometer WAM-5500 compared to Topcon KR800 autorefractor in detecting refractive error in large scale vision screening for Chinese school age children with the WHO criteria. METHODS A total of 886 participants were enrolled with mean age of 9.49±1.88y from Tianjin, China. Spherical equivalent (SE) was obtained from un-cycloplegic autorefraction and cycloplegic autorefraction. Topcon KR 800 (Topcon) and Grand Seiko WAM-5500 (WAM) autorefractors were used. Bland-Altman Plot and regression were generated to compare their performance. The overall effectiveness of detecting early stage refractive error was analyzed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS The mean SE was -0.98±1.81 diopter (D) and the prevalence of myopia was 48.9% defined by WHO criteria according to the result of cycloplegic autorefraction. The mean SE of un-cycloplegic autorefraction with Topcon and WAM were -1.21±1.65 and -1.20±1.68 D respectively. There was a strong linear agreement between result obtained from WAM and cycloplegic autorefraction with an R2 of 0.8318. Bland-Altman plot indicated a moderate agreement of cylinder values between the two methods. The sensitivity and specificity for detecting hyperopia were 90.52% and 83.51%; for detecting myopia were 95.60% and 90.24%; for detecting astigmatism were 79.40% and 90.21%; for detecting high myopia were 98.16% and 98.91% respectively. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that both Grand Seiko and Topcon autorefractor can be used in large-scale vision screening for detecting refractive error in Chinese population. Grand Seiko gives relatively better performance in detecting myopia, hyperopia, and high myopia for school age children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myopia is a prevalent eye disorder, especially among children and adolescents in eastern Asian countries. Multiple measures have already been taken to prevent and treat myopia, including atropine and dopamine. However, the serum metabolic picture of myopia has not yet been studied as a whole and remains largely unclear. In this paper, a prospective and panoramic study was carried out to find out the whole serum metabolomic and lipidomic picture of myopia. METHODS With untargeted mass spectrometry (MS), myopia among 211 children and adolescents was studied. The MS features were first grouped across the samples. Then, compound annotation was carried out based on these features. Finally, the metabolite features were mapped to pathways, whose biological functions in myopia were studied and discussed. RESULTS A total of 275 metabolite features were derived from 92 aligned MS peak groups with significant fold changes, and then mapped to 33 pathways. By a comprehensive consideration of significance, fold change, importance score and appearance in different omics, 9 pathways were selected, and their biological functions were further analyzed. Among these selected pathways, 5 pathways were related with oxidative stress, a validated phenomenon during myopia development, while 5 pathways were related with dopamine receptor D2, whose molecular function in myopia treatment is not fully understood. A total of 177 metabolite features from 45 peak groups were related with the studied pathways. CONCLUSION This prospective study shed light on the whole picture of metabolomic mechanism underlying myopia and provided guidance to further elucidation of compounds and pathways in this whole picture.
