BACKGROUND: Stroke is the leading cause of death and long-term disability worldwide, including China. This study aimed to provide timely updates on stroke burden and stroke-related risk factors to help improve population-based prevention and control strategies. METHODS: Based on the Global Burden of Disease study 2021, incidence rate, prevalence rate, mortality rate, and disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) rate were used to estimate stroke burden trend from 1990 to 2021. RESULTS: In 2021, China had 4.1 million incident stroke cases, 26.3 million prevalent stroke cases, 2.6 million stroke related deaths, and 53.2 million stroke related DALYs, compared to 11.9 million incident stroke cases, 93.8 million prevalent stroke cases, 7.3 million stroke related deaths, and 160.5 million stroke-related DALYs worldwide. In 2021, the top six risk factors contributing to stroke burden were high blood pressure, air pollution, tobacco consumption, dietary risk factors, high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high fasting plasma glucose, both in China and worldwide. From 1990 to 2021, China had significant increases of incidence rate, prevalence rate, mortality rate, and DALY rate for stroke, with estimates of 100.6 (95% uncertainty intervals [UI]: 87.2, 114.1)%, 102.9 (95% UI: 95.5, 110.9)%, 40.0 (95% UI: 14.9, 72.3)% and 15.7 (95% UI: -4.6, 41.2)%, respectively, while global incidence rate, prevalence rate, mortality rate and DALY rate for total stroke showed relatively moderate increases or even decreases, with estimates of 15.0 (95% UI: 12.1,18.0)%, 25.8 (95% UI: 23.7, 28.0)%, -2.6 (95% UI: -10.6, 5.5)%, and -10.7 (95% UI: -17.7, -3.6)%, respectively. CONCLUSION Stroke remains a huge disease burden worldwide and in China, and compared to the worldwide China has a significantly higher burden of stroke.

Objective To investigate the effect of differentdoses of oxycodone on postoperative recovery quality in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods Elderly patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Mianyang Central Hospital from September 2023 to April 2024 were selected.Patients were randomly divided into group C,group O1 and group O2.Ten minutes before anesthesia induction,group O1 received intravenous oxycodone 0.05 mg·kg-1,group O2 received oxycodone 0.1 mg·kg-1,and group C received an equivalent volume of 0.9%sodium chloride.Observe and compare the scores of the Quality of Recovery-40(QoR-40)scale at 24 hours postoperatively,the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)for pain at 10 minutes postoperatively and incidence of postoperative respiratory amnesia among the three groups.Multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the effect of hydrocodone on postoperative QoR-40 score.Results A total of 117 patients were included,39 in each group.According to the dropout criteria,a total of 34 cases were included in the group C,38 cases in group O1,and 38 cases in group O2.Compared to group C,group O1 and O2 showed significantly higher QoR-40 scores at 24 hours postoperatively(P<0.01),particularly in physical comfort,emotional state,independent functioning,and pain(P<0.05 or P<0.01).However,there was no significant difference between group O1 and O2(P>0.05).Both oxycodone groups had significantly lower 10-minute postoperative VAS scores than group C(P<0.05).Group O1 had a lower incidence of respiratory amnesia than group O2(P<0.05).Multivariate regression revealed that oxycodone use,age,postoperative nausea/vomiting,and 10-minute VAS scores collectively explained 69%of the variance in QoR-40 scores at postoperatively(adjusted R2=0.69),with oxycodone use significantly improving QoR-40 scores at postoperatively[β=9.336,95%CI(7.428,11.243),P<0.001].Conclusion Preoperative intravenous administration of oxycodone improves the quality of recovery in elderly patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.The incidence of postoperative respiratory amnesia was lower in 0.05 mg·kg-1 oxycodone dose group.

OBJECTIVE To retrospectively analyze the drug resistance characteristics of the patients with multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs)infections who were hospitalized from 2022 to 2023 and observe the effect of multi-disciplinary teamwork(MDT)mode so as to provide scientific bases for prevention and control of MDROs infec-tions and hospital-associated infections.METHODS A total of 639 patients with MDROs infection who were hospi-talized in Jianyang People's Hospital from Jan.2022 to Dec.2023 were recruited as the research subjects.The clinical data were collected from the patients,the drug resistance characteristics of bacteria were analyzed.The effects of MDT and pharmacological supervision on treatment of the patients with MDROs infection were observed and compared.RESULTS The methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)(359 strains,56.18％)was dominant among the pathogens isolated from the 639 patients with MDROs infections,followed by the carbapen-em-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)(96 strains,15.02％)and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter bau-mannii(82 strains,12.83％).Of the patients with MDROs infection,150(23.47％)were from critical care medicine department,94(14.71％)from pediatrics department,and 82(12.83％)from general surgery de-partment.The result of drug susceptibility test showed that the S.aureus strains were susceptible to linezolid,daptomycin,vancomycin and tigecycline;most of the gram-negative bacteria were susceptible to carbapenems,while the A.baumannii strains were highly resistant to the commonly used antibiotics.The total isolation rate of MDROs and the case-time infection rate of MDROs infections were 14.32％and 0.05％,respectively,after MDT and pharmacological supervision were carried out,lower than those before carried out;the effective treatment rate of the patients with MDROs was 76.47％after MDT and pharmacological supervision were carried out,higher than that before they were carried out,and there were significant differences(all P＜0.05).CONCLUSION MDT and pharmacological supervision may improve the curative effect of the patients with MDROs infection and reduce the isolation rate of MDROs as well as the incidence of hospital-associated infections.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of Slc1a2 overexpression on cognitive dysfunction in sleep-deprived mice.Methods A total of 130 mice were divided into five groups:normal sleep(NS),NS+ov-Slc1a2,sleep deprivation(SD),SD+ov-NC,and SD+ov-Slc1a2,with 26 mice in each group.The SD mice model was established using an automatic system based on a rotating rod,and overexpress Slc1a2 adenovirus was injected into the prefrontal cortex(PFC).Immunofluorescence and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of Slc1a2 in the mouse PFC.Electrophysiological tests were used to evaluate non-rapid eye movement(NREM)sleep time,rapid eye movement(REM)sleep time,and wakefulness time in mice.Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of glutamate(Glu)and gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA)metabolic enzymes in the mouse PFC.Whole-cell patch-clamp recording was used to detect the frequency and amplitude of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents(mEPSC)in mouse PFC.Immunofluorescence was used to detect the proportion of GABA-positive cells in the mouse PFC.The C11-BODIPY fluorescent probe was used to detect lipid reac-tive oxygen species(ROS)levels in mouse PFC.Commercial kits were used to detect Fe2+and malondialdehyde(MDA)levels in the mouse PFC.Cognitive function in mice was evaluated using the open field,novel object recognition,and Y-maze tests.Results Compared with the NS group,the NREM sleep time,REM sleep time,central area stay time,recognition index,and novel wall selection index increased significantly,while wakefulness time decreased significantly in the NS+ov-Slc1a2 group(all P＜0.05).The percentage of Slc1a2+GFAP+cells,expression of Slc1a2 protein,expression of Glul,Slc6a1,and Abat mRNA,frequency and amplitude of mEPSC,and proportion of GABA-positive cells in the PFC increased significantly,whereas lipid ROS,Fe2+,and MDA levels decreased significantly(all P＜0.05).Compared with the NS group,the NREM sleep time,REM sleep time,central area stay time,recognition index,and novel wall selection index of the SD group and the SD+ov-NC group were significantly decreased,whereas wakefulness time was significantly increased(all P＜0.05).The percentage of Slc1a2+GFAP+cells,expression of Slc1a2 protein,expression of Glul,Slc6a1,and Abat mRNA,frequency and amplitude of mEPSC,and proportion of GABA-positive cells in the mouse PFC decreased significantly,whereas lipid ROS,Fe2+,and MDA levels increased significantly(all P＜0.05).Compared with the SD and SD+ov-NC groups,the NREM sleep time,REM sleep time,central area stay time,recognition index,and novel wall selection index of the SD+ov-Slc1a2 group increased significantly,whereas the wakeful-ness time decreased significantly(all P＜0.05).The percentage of Slc1a2+GFAP+cells,the expression of Slc1a2 protein,the expression of Glul,Slc6a1,and Abat mRNA,the frequency and amplitude of mEPSC,and the proportion of GABA-positive cells in the mouse PFC increased significantly,whereas lipid ROS,Fe2+,and MDA levels decreased significantly(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Ectopic overexpres-sion of Slc1a2 in the PFC can improve sleep disorders in SD mice,reduce the damage caused by SD to excitatory synaptic transmission and GABAergic neuron function in the PFC,and alleviate cognitive impairment and anxiety-like behavior in these mice.Its mechanism may be related to the improvement of Glu/GABA metabolic imbalance in the PFC and inhibition of ferroptosis.

Objective To investigate the relationship between sleep disorders and coronary heart disease through big data combined with Mendelian randomization analysis.Methods Data from 2005 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the United States were utilized.Logistic regression analysis was employed to evaluate the association between sleep disorders and coronary heart disease,while analyzing relevant influencing factors.A two-sample Mendelian randomization approach was implemented using Genome-Wide Association Studies to establish causal relationships.Results Logistic regression analysis demonstrated a significant association between sleep disorders and coronary heart disease(P＜0.001),with the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio serving as a mediating factor in this relationship(P＜0.001).Mendelian randomization analysis revealed a positive correlation between sleep disorders and coronary heart disease(OR=1.030,95％CI:1.01-1.04).Conclusion Sleep disorders can increase the risk of coronary heart disease by activating inflammatory factors.

ObjectiveTo construct a family-centered care model for children with tuberculosis based on the double ABC-X model, and to evaluate its clinical effects. MethodsFrom December 2022 to October 2023, 64 newly admitted children with tuberculosis who met the criteria and their caregivers were recruited from the tuberculosis department of Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center were randomly divided into an experimental group (32 cases) and a control group (32 cases).The control group was given a conventional health care, while the experimental group was given a family-centered health care intervention based on the double ABC-X model, in which a multidisciplinary care team provided personalized information and emotional support for the caregivers and their children. Medication adherence of the children, caregiver’s teading burden, and disease management competence were compared between the 2 groups. ResultsA total of 29 cases in the experimental group and 27 cases in the control group completed the intervention. At 12 weeks of intervention, the medication adherence score (7.72±0.45 vs 7.41±0.50, P<0.05) and disease management competence score (36.97±7.85 vs 31.56±7.30, P<0.05) were higher in the experimental group than that in the control group while the caregiving burden score (31.79±13.40 vs 40.04±9.01, P<0.05) and difficulty of disease management score (30.41±12.41 vs 38.56±9.48, P<0.05) were lower than that in the control group. At 24 weeks of intervention, the medication adherence score (7.34±0.97 vs 6.70±1.14, P<0.05) and disease management competence score (42.07±6.93 vs 35.63±7.32, P<0.05) were higher in the experimental group than that in the control group as well, but the caregiving burden score (31.62±11.72 vs 39.63±10.17, P<0.05) and difficulty of disease management score (30.59±10.87 vs 37.81±9.32, P<0.05) were lower than that in the control group. ConclusionFamily-centered care based on the double ABC-X model can effectively promote medication adherence among children with tuberculosis, reduce caregivers’ care burden and disease management difficulties, and improve caregiver’s disease management competence.
