Effect of artificial natural light on the development of myopia among primary school-age children in China: a three-year longitudinal study.

Aim: To assess the efficacy of artificial natural light in preventing incident myopia in primary school-age children.

Methods: This is a prospective, randomized control, intervention study. A total of 1840 students from 39 classes in 4 primary schools in Foshan participated in this study.

Why is the beautyberry so colourful? Evolution, biogeography, and diversification of fruit colours in (Lamiaceae).

Fruit colour is essential to seed dispersal, speciation, and biological diversity in global ecosystems. The relationship between fruit-colour variation and species diversification has long been of interest in evolutionary biology, but remains poorly understood at the genus level. Here, we used , a typical representative of pantropical angiosperm, to analyse whether fruit colours are correlated with biogeographic distribution, dispersal events, and diversification rate.

A novel aged mouse model of recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage in the bilateral striatum.

The current animal models of stroke primarily model a single intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) attack, and there is a lack of a reliable model of recurrent ICH. In this study, we established 16-month-old C57BL/6 male mouse models of ICH by injecting collagenase VII-S into the left striatum. Twenty-one days later, we injected collagenase VII-S into the right striatum to simulate recurrent ICH.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) fails to improve cognition in patients with parkinson's disease: a Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Cognitive decline is one of the greatest concerns for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and their care partners. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a nonpharmacological treatment option used to improve cognitive function in PD, but its efficacy is unclear. We performed a meta-analysis to determine whether rTMS improves cognition in PD patients.

Out of Refugia: Population Genetic Structure and Evolutionary History of the Alpine Medicinal Plant var. (Gentianaceae).

Understanding the genetic structure and evolutionary history of plants contributes to their conservation and utilization and helps to predict their response to environmental changes. The wildflower and traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicinal plant var. is endemic to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP).
