Comprehensive exploration of hub genes involved in oxidative stress in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment based on bioinformatics analysis.

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a type of ophthalmologic emergency, if left untreated, the blindness rate approaches 100 %. The RRD patient postoperative recovery of visual function is unsatisfactory, most notably due to photoreceptor death. We conducted to identify the key genes for oxidative stress (OS) in RRD through bioinformatics analysis and clinical validation, thus providing new ideas for the recovery of visual function in RRD patients after surgery. A gene database for RRD was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (GSE28133). Then we screened differentially expressed OS genes (DEOSGs) from the database and assessed the critical pathways in RRD with Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and hub genes among the common DEOSGs were identified. In addition, we collected general information and vitreous fluid from 42 patients with RRD and 22 controls [11 each of epiretinal membrane (EM) and macular hole (MH)], examined the expression levels of proteins encoded by hub genes in vitreous fluid by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to further assess the relationship between the ELISA data and the clinical characteristics of patients with RRD. Ten hub genes (CCL2, ICAM1, STAT3, CD4, ITGAM, PTPRC, CCL5, IL18, TLR2, VCAM1) were finally screened out from the dataset. The ELISA results showed that, compared with the control group, patients with RRD: TLR2 and ICAM-1 were significantly elevated, and CCL2 had a tendency to be elevated, but no statistically significant; RRD patients and MH patients compared with EM patients: STAT3 and VCAM-1 were significantly elevated. We found affected eyes of RRD patients compared with healthy eyes: temporal and nasal retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) were significantly thickened. By correlation analysis, we found that: STAT3 was negatively correlated with ocular perfusion pressure (OPP); temporal RNFL was not only significantly positively correlated with CCL2, but also negatively correlated with Scotopic b-wave amplitude. These findings help us to further explore the mechanism of RRD development and provide new ideas for finding postoperative visual function recovery.

Raddeanin A Protects the BRB Through Inhibiting Inflammation and Apoptosis in the Retina of Alzheimer's Disease.

Neuroinflammation and endothelial cell apoptosis are prominent features of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, which have been described in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and can predict cognitive decline. Recent reports revealed vascular ß-amyloid (Aß) deposits, Muller cell degeneration and microglial dysfunction in the retina of AD patients. However, there has been no in-depth research on the roles of inflammation, retinal endothelial cell apoptosis, and blood-retinal barrier (BRB) damage in AD retinopathy. We found that Raddeanin A (RDA) could improve pathological and cognitive deficits in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease by targeting ß-amyloidosis, However, the effects of RDA on AD retinal function require further study. To clarify whether RDA inhibits inflammation and apoptosis and thus improves BRB function in AD-related retinopathy. In vitro we used Aß-treated HRECs and MIO-M1 cells, and in vivo we used 3×Tg-AD mice to investigate the effect of RDA on BRB in AD-related retinopathy. We found that RDA could improve BRB function in AD-related retinopathy by inhibiting NLRP3-mediated inflammation and suppressing Wnt/ß-catenin pathway-mediated apoptosis, which is expected to improve the pathological changes in AD-related retinopathy and the quality of life of AD patients.

Inhibition of Drp1- Fis1 interaction alleviates aberrant mitochondrial fragmentation and acute kidney injury.

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical disorder with complex etiology and poor prognosis, and currently lacks specific and effective treatment options. Mitochondrial dynamics dysfunction is a prominent feature in AKI, and modulation of mitochondrial morphology may serve as a potential therapeutic approach for AKI. METHODS: We induced ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in mice (bilateral) and Bama pigs (unilateral) by occluding the renal arteries. ATP depletion and recovery (ATP-DR) was performed on proximal renal tubular cells to simulate in vitro IRI. Renal function was evaluated using creatinine and urea nitrogen levels, while renal structural damage was assessed through histopathological staining. The role of Drp1 was investigated using immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and immunoprecipitation techniques. Mitochondrial morphology was evaluated using confocal microscopy. RESULTS: Renal IRI induced significant mitochondrial fragmentation, accompanied by Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) translocation to the mitochondria and Drp1 phosphorylation at Ser616 in the early stages (30 min after reperfusion), when there was no apparent structural damage to the kidney. The use of the Drp1 inhibitor P110 significantly improved kidney function and structural damage. P110 reduced Drp1 mitochondrial translocation, disrupted the interaction between Drp1 and Fis1, without affecting the binding of Drp1 to other mitochondrial receptors such as MFF and Mid51. High-dose administration had no apparent toxic side effects. Furthermore, ATP-DR induced mitochondrial fission in renal tubular cells, accompanied by a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and an increase in the translocation of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax. This process facilitated the release of dsDNA, triggering the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway and promoting inflammation. P110 attenuated mitochondrial fission, suppressed Bax mitochondrial translocation, prevented dsDNA release, and reduced the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway. Furthermore, these protective effects of P110 were also observed renal IRI model in the Bama pig and folic acid-induced nephropathy in mice. CONCLUSIONS: Dysfunction of mitochondrial dynamics mediated by Drp1 contributes to renal IRI. The specific inhibitor of Drp1, P110, demonstrated protective effects in both in vivo and in vitro models of AKI.

miR-147 Represses NDUFA4, Inducing Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Tubular Damage in Cold Storage Kidney Transplantation.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Cold storage-associated transplantation (CST) injury occurs in renal transplant from deceased donors, the main organ source. The pathogenesis of CST injury remains poorly understood, and effective therapies are not available. This study has demonstrated an important role of microRNAs in CST injury and revealed the changes in microRNA expression profiles. Specifically, microRNA-147 (miR-147) is consistently elevated during CST injury in mice and in dysfunctional renal grafts in humans. Mechanistically, NDUFA4 (a key component of mitochondrial respiration complex) is identified as a direct target of miR-147. By repressing NDUFA4, miR-147 induces mitochondrial damage and renal tubular cell death. Blockade of miR-147 and overexpression of NDUFA4 reduce CST injury and improve graft function, unveiling miR-147 and NDUFA4 as new therapeutic targets in kidney transplantation. BACKGROUND: Kidney injury due to cold storage-associated transplantation (CST) is a major factor determining the outcome of renal transplant, for which the role and regulation of microRNAs remain largely unclear. METHODS: The kidneys of proximal tubule Dicer (an enzyme for microRNA biogenesis) knockout mice and their wild-type littermates were subjected to CST to determine the function of microRNAs. Small RNA sequencing then profiled microRNA expression in mouse kidneys after CST. Anti-microRNA-147 (miR-147) and miR-147 mimic were used to examine the role of miR-147 in CST injury in mouse and renal tubular cell models. RESULTS: Knockout of Dicer from proximal tubules attenuated CST kidney injury in mice. RNA sequencing identified multiple microRNAs with differential expression in CST kidneys, among which miR-147 was induced consistently in mouse kidney transplants and in dysfunctional human kidney grafts. Anti-miR-147 protected against CST injury in mice and ameliorated mitochondrial dysfunction after ATP depletion injury in renal tubular cells in intro . Mechanistically, miR-147 was shown to target NDUFA4, a key component of the mitochondrial respiration complex. Silencing NDUFA4 aggravated renal tubular cell death, whereas overexpression of NDUFA4 prevented miR-147-induced cell death and mitochondrial dysfunction. Moreover, overexpression of NDUFA4 alleviated CST injury in mice. CONCLUSIONS: microRNAs, as a class of molecules, are pathogenic in CST injury and graft dysfunction. Specifically, miR-147 induced during CST represses NDUFA4, leading to mitochondrial damage and renal tubular cell death. These results unveil miR-147 and NDUFA4 as new therapeutic targets in kidney transplantation.

Novel role of PE_PGRS47 in the alteration of mycobacterial cell wall integrity and drug resistance.

The proline-glutamic acid and proline-proline-glutamic acid (PE/PPE) family of proteins is widespread in pathogenic mycobacteria and plays different roles in mycobacterial physiology. While several PE/PPE family proteins have been studied, the exact function of most PE/PPE proteins in the physiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remains unknown. PE_PGRS47 belongs to the PE/PPE family of proteins reported to help Mtb evade protective host immune responses. In this study, we demonstrate a novel role of PE_PGRS47. Heterologous expression of the pe_pgrs47 gene in a non-pathogenic Mycobacterium smegmatis, intrinsically deficient of PE_PGRS protein, exhibits modulated colony morphology and cell wall lipid profile leading to a marked susceptibility to multiple antibiotics and environmental stressors. Using ethidium bromide/Nile red uptake assays, Mycobacterium smegmatis expressing PE_PGRS47 showed higher cell wall permeability than the control strain. Overall, these data suggested that PE_PGRS47 is cell surface exposed and influences cell wall integrity and the formation of mycobacterial colonies, ultimately potentiating the efficacy of lethal stresses against mycobacteria.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv1043c regulates the inflammatory response by inhibiting the phosphorylation of TAK1.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis can manipulate the host immunity through its effectors to ensure intracellular survival and colonization. Rv1043c has been identified as an effector potentially involved in M. tuberculosis pathogenicity. To explore the function of M. tuberculosis Rv1043c during infection, we overexpressed this protein in M. smegmatis, a non-pathogenic surrogate model in tuberculosis research. Here, we reported that Rv1043c enhanced mycobacterial survival and down-regulated the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in macrophages and mice. In addition, Rv1043c inhibited the activation of MAPK and NF-κB signaling by preventing the phosphorylation of TAK1 indirectly. In conclusion, these data suggest that Rv1043c regulates the immune response and enhances the survival of recombinant M. smegmatis in vitro and in vivo.

Inhibition of HDAC3 protects against kidney cold storage/transplantation injury and allograft dysfunction.

Cold storage/rewarming is an inevitable process for kidney transplantation from deceased donors, which correlates closely with renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and the occurrence of delayed graft function. Histone deacetylases (HDAC) are important epigenetic regulators, but their involvement in cold storage/rewarming injury in kidney transplantation is unclear. In the present study, we showed a dynamic change of HDAC3 in a mouse model of kidney cold storage followed by transplantation. We then demonstrated that the selective HDAC3 inhibitor RGFP966 could reduce acute tubular injury and cell death after prolonged cold storage with transplantation. RGFP966 also improved renal function, kidney repair and tubular integrity when the transplanted kidney became the sole life-supporting graft in the recipient mouse. In vitro, cold storage of proximal tubular cells followed by rewarming induced remarkable cell death, which was suppressed by RGFP966 or knockdown of HDAC3 with shRNA. Inhibition of HDAC3 decreased the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis and preserved mitochondrial membrane potential. Collectively, HDAC3 plays a pathogenic role in cold storage/rewarming injury in kidney transplantation, and its inhibition may be a therapeutic option.

Protein Kinase C-δ Mediates Kidney Tubular Injury in Cold Storage-Associated Kidney Transplantation.

BACKGROUND: Kidney injury associated with cold storage is a determinant of delayed graft function and the long-term outcome of transplanted kidneys, but the underlying mechanism remains elusive. We previously reported a role of protein kinase C-δ (PKCδ) in renal tubular injury during cisplatin nephrotoxicity and albumin-associated kidney injury, but whether PKCδ is involved in ischemic or transplantation-associated kidney injury is unknown. METHODS: To investigate PKCδ's potential role in injury during cold storage-associated transplantation, we incubated rat kidney proximal tubule cells in University of Wisconsin (UW) solution at 4°C for cold storage, returning them to normal culture medium at 37°C for rewarming. We also stored kidneys from donor mice in cold UW solution for various durations, followed by transplantation into syngeneic recipient mice. RESULTS: We observed PKCδ activation in both in vitro and in vivo models of cold-storage rewarming or transplantation. In the mouse model, PKCδ was activated and accumulated in mitochondria, where it mediated phosphorylation of a mitochondrial fission protein, dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), at serine 616. Drp1 activation resulted in mitochondrial fission or fragmentation, accompanied by mitochondrial damage and tubular cell death. Deficiency of PKCδ in donor kidney ameliorated Drp1 phosphorylation, mitochondrial damage, tubular cell death, and kidney injury during cold storage-associated transplantation. PKCδ deficiency also improved the repair and function of the renal graft as a life-supporting kidney. An inhibitor of PKCδ, δV1-1, protected kidneys against cold storage-associated transplantation injury. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that PKCδ is a key mediator of mitochondrial damage and renal tubular injury in cold storage-associated transplantation and may be an effective therapeutic target for improving renal transplant outcomes.

Tea Consumption Is Associated with Decreased Disease Activity of Rheumatoid Arthritis in a Real-World, Large-Scale Study.

INTRODUCTION: The role of tea consumption on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been studied in recent years, but no clear conclusion has been drawn as a result of small sample size of the studies or the fact that only in vitro studies have been performed. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to explore the possible association of tea consumption with RA through a large-scale, real-world study. METHODS: A total of 733 RA patients were investigated from June to December, 2016. The disease activity of RA was assessed according to disease activity score 28-erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The amount and types of tea consumption were recorded by on-site self-administered questionnaires. Logistic regression models were applied to analyze the correlation between tea consumption and disease activity, adjusting for demographics, clinical and laboratory factors. RESULTS: There was an inverse association between tea consumption and disease activity in RA patients (OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.46-0.94). Compared with non-tea drinkers, a higher-intake of tea (>750 mL/day) was associated with lower disease activity of RA (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.19-0.79), but not low-intake (≤750 mL/day; OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.42-1.63). A significant dose-response association was found between the amount of tea consumption and disease activity (p for trend <0.01). Further hierarchical regression analysis showed that such inverse associations were mainly present in female patients (p = 0.004), non-smokers (p = 0.01) or elders (≥60 years; p = 0.01). CONCLUSION: Tea consumption is associated with decreased disease activity of RA, suggesting the potential beneficial effect of tea in the disease.

Prevalence, outcome and prognostic factors of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus: A real world single center study.

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence, outcome and prognostic factors of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE).Methods: SLE inpatients from 2005 to 2016 were included. Information on survival duration and causes of death was collected. Data were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank tests and Cox proportional hazards modeling.Results: Among 1589 SLE patients, 101 (6.4%) were diagnosed with NPSLE. The overall survival rates of the NPSLE patients were 89%, 85% and 84% at 1, 3 and 5 years, respectively. The standardized mortality ratio of NPSLE patients was 11.14. The most common cause of death was NPSLE related conditions (7, 47%), including intracranial hypertension syndrome, cerebrovascular disease and motor neuron disease. The following variables were associated with death: cardiac involvement, renal involvement, diffuse NPSLE, acute confusional state, more than one NPSLE manifestation, low lymphocyte count, elevated C-reactive protein, abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and high systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index. Acute confusional state (p = .001), elevated intracranial pressure (p = .010) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (p = .032) were independently predictive factors of death.Conclusion: Our study demonstrates an 11.14-fold increased mortality of NPSLE patients compared with general population. NPSLE related disorders are main causes of death. Acute confusional state is the most significant predictive factor for poor prognosis.

PE_PGRS62 promotes the survival of Mycobacterium smegmatis within macrophages via disrupting ER stress-mediated apoptosis.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the leading causative agent of tuberculosis, remains one of the most deadly infectious pathogens. PE_PGRS proteins become a new focus as their species specificity in mycobacteria, especially in pathogenic mycobacteria. Despite intensive research, PE_PGRS proteins are still a mysterious aspect of mycobacterial pathogenesis with unknown mechanism. Herein, we focused on a PE_PGRS member from M. tuberculosis, PE_PGRS62, characterized by a surface-exposed protein function in disrupting phagolysosome maturation. Expression of PE_PGRS62 in Mycobacterium smegmatis, a nonpathogenic species naturally deficient in PE_PGRS genes, resulted in enhanced resistance to various in vitro stresses and cellular survival in macrophage. As a consequence, the cytokine profiles of macrophage were disturbed and cell apoptosis were inhibited via decreasing endoplasmic reticulum stress response.

Multiple-Scales Integrative Analysis of MicroRNAs Unveils Biomarkers and Key Regulatory Connections for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the sixth most common liver cancer worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer mortality. For these reasons, early diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic biomarkers are extremely urgent. MicroRNAs are small noncoding single-stranded RNA molecules that are reported to be involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes during carcinogenesis. In this study, the expression characteristics, functions, and validated targets of microRNAs in HCC were summarized and potential microRNA biomarkers were confirmed from clinical specimens. Multiple-scales integrative analysis was used to predict the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential of microRNAs in blood and tissue of HCC patients, providing novel insight into HCC diagnosis and treatment using microRNA biomarkers.

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein Rv2387 is involved in cell wall remodeling and susceptibility to acidic conditions.

The distinctive cell walls of mycobacteria are characteristic features of these bacteria. Individual cell wall components influence diverse mycobacterial phenotypes, such as colony morphology, virulence and stress resistance. To investigate the role of the hypothetical protein Rv2387, we constructed a Mycobacterium smegmatis strain that heterologously expressed this ORF, and we observed that the M. smegmatis strain expressing Rv2387 exhibited altered colony morphology and cell wall lipid composition, leading to a marked decrease in the resistance against acidic conditions. This study demonstrates that due to its impact on cell wall remodeling, Rv2387 might play an important role in mycobacterial physiology.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis effectors interfering host apoptosis signaling.

Tuberculosis remains a serious human public health concern. The coevolution between its pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis and human host complicated the way to prevent and cure TB. Apoptosis plays subtle role in this interaction. The pathogen endeavors to manipulate the apoptosis via diverse effectors targeting key signaling nodes. In this paper, we summarized the effectors pathogen used to subvert the apoptosis, such as LpqH, ESAT-6/CFP-10, LAMs. The interplay between different forms of cell deaths, such as apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis, is also discussed with a focus on the modes of action of effectors, and implications for better TB control.

Mycobacterium biofilms: factors involved in development, dispersal, and therapeutic strategies against biofilm-relevant pathogens.

Many bacteria can develop biofilm (BF), a multicellular structure largely combining bacteria and their extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The formation of biofilm results in an alternative existence in which microbes ensure their survival in adverse environments. Biofilm-relevant infections are more persistent, resistant to most antibiotics, and more recalcitrant to host immunity. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, can develop biofilm, though whether M. tuberculosis can form biofilm within tuberculosis patients has yet to be determined. Here, we summarize the factors involved in the development and dispersal of mycobacterial biofilms, as well as underlying regulatory factors and inhibitors against biofilm to deepen our understanding of their development and to elucidate potential novel modes of action for future antibiotics. Key factors in biofilm formation identified as drug targets represent a novel and promising avenue for developing better antibiotics.

Comparative genomic and proteomic anatomy of Mycobacterium ubiquitous Esx family proteins: implications in pathogenicity and virulence.

Secreted proteins are among the most important molecules involved in host-pathogen interaction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiological agent of human tuberculosis (TB). M. tuberculosis encodes five types of VII secretion systems (ESX-1 to ESX-5) responsible for the exportation of many proteins. This system mediated substrates including members of the Esx family implicated in tuberculosis pathogenesis and survival within host cells. However, the distribution and evolution of this family remain elusive. To explore the evolution and distribution of Esx family proteins, we analyzed all available Mycobacteria genomes. Interestingly, amino mutations among M. tuberculosis esx family proteins may relate to their functions. We further analyzed the differences between pathogenic Mycobacteria, the attenuated Mycobacteria and non-pathogenic Mycobacteria. The stability, the globular domains and the phosphorylation of serine/threonine residues of M. tuberculosis esx proteins with their homologies among other Mycoabcteria were analyzed. Our comparative genomic and proteomic analysis found that the change of stability, gain or loss of globular domains and phosphorylation of serine/threonine might be responsible for the difference between the pathogenesis and virulence of the esx proteins and its homolog widespread among Mycobacteria and related species, which may provide clues for novel anti-tuberculosis drug targets.

Economic level, environmental regulation, and new energy industry development.

Using panel data of 30 provinces and new energy (NE)-listed enterprises in China from 2011 to 2020, this paper uses basic model to research the impact of various environmental policies in China on NE industry development firstly. Then, using economic level as a threshold variable, a threshold model was constructed to research the impact of economic level on the relationship between environmental regulation and NE industry development. The research results show that firstly, various environmental policies in China have significantly promoted the development of the NE industry. This is mainly manifested in two aspects. One is environmental regulations significantly increased the NE industry output value and profit, the other is environmental regulations enhanced the NE industry growth potential. Secondly, the regional economic level has a significant impact on the relationship between environmental regulations and NE industry development. The promotion effect of environmental regulations on NE industry development depends on the regional economic level. When the regional economic level exceeds the threshold, the promoting effect of environmental regulations on NE industry development significantly increases. The reason is that a weak economic foundation will affect investment in the NE industry. Insufficient capital investment will inevitably seriously hinder the development of the NE industry. Thirdly, residents' education status, financial support, and NE industry agglomeration degree have a positive impact on the development of the NE industry, while population size has no significant impact on NE industry development.

Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes in Cold Storage-associated Kidney Transplantation.

BACKGROUND: Although it is acknowledged that ischemia-reperfusion injury is the primary pathology of cold storage-associated kidney transplantation, its underlying mechanism is not well elucidated. METHODS: To extend the understanding of molecular events and mine hub genes posttransplantation, we performed bulk RNA sequencing at different time points (24 h, day 7, and day 14) on a murine kidney transplantation model with prolonged cold storage (10 h). RESULTS: In the present study, we showed that genes related to the regulation of apoptotic process, DNA damage response, cell cycle/proliferation, and inflammatory response were steadily elevated at 24 h and day 7. The upregulated gene profiling delicately transformed to extracellular matrix organization and fibrosis at day 14. It is prominent that metabolism-associated genes persistently took the first place among downregulated genes. The gene ontology terms of particular note to enrich are fatty acid oxidation and mitochondria energy metabolism. Correspondingly, the key enzymes of the above processes were the products of hub genes as recognized. Moreover, we highlighted the proximal tubular cell-specific increased genes at 24 h by combining the data with public RNA-Seq performed on proximal tubules. We also focused on ferroptosis-related genes and fatty acid oxidation genes to show profound gene dysregulation in kidney transplantation. CONCLUSIONS: The comprehensive characterization of transcriptomic analysis may help provide diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in kidney transplantation.

Large-scale study in Chengdu, China: The prevalence of myopia full-correction decreased with increasing myopia in adolescents.

Myopia is an increasingly serious health issue among children and adolescents worldwide. This study investigated the situation related to myopia among students in Chengdu, a city in western China, and analyzed the prevalence of myopia spectacle wear and myopia full-correction and their influencing factors to understand the current status of myopia prevention. This school-based cross-sectional study investigated 1582 schools in seven districts of Chengdu City, China, enrolling a total of 417,337 students aged 6-18 years (elementary, middle, and high school) from 2020 to 2022. Examination items included uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), slit lamp examination and non-cycloplegic autorefraction. Myopia was defined as non-cycloplegic SE ≤ -0.50 D + UCVA> 0 log MAR (age ≥6). The prevalence of myopia spectacle wear is defined as the number of people wearing glasses for myopia/the number of people with myopia (%) within the study population, and myopia full-correction is defined as normal vision after wearing glasses for myopia (≤0 log MAR for 6 years and above). With the support of the government, this programme is conducted 1-2 times a year. Statistical analyses are conducted to determine the association between myopia and various parameters. The average age of the entire survey population was 10.96 ± 3.5 years, and the overall prevalence of myopia was 48.7%, myopia spectacle wear was 65.7%, and myopia full-correction was 50.5%. With increasing age and educational levels, the prevalence of moderate to high myopia, the prevalence of myopia spectacle wear, and the prevalence of myopia full-correction all rise. The prevalence of mild myopia full-correction (46.5%) was higher than that for moderate myopia (47.1%) and even higher than that for high myopia (39.6%). The correct utilization rate of myopic spectacles was 33.17%, increasing with age and education levels, with the highest correct utilization rate of 40.7% among those with moderate myopia. The prevalence of myopia among children and adolescents in Chengdu is relatively low, and the prevalence of myopia spectacle wear and myopia full-correction need to be improved, and it was found that with the increase of myopia, the prevalence of myopia full-correction among adolescents decreased instead.
