Objective:To investigate the correlation and dose-response relationship of pulse pressure and pulse pressure index with metabolic syndrome in the elderly population.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study.A total of 114 212 subjects aged 65 years and over in Wujin District receiving health examination in 2019 were enrolled, including 40 388(35.4%)patients with metabolic syndrome.The survey contents included a questionnaire, physical examination and laboratory tests.Logistic regression and restricted cubic splines were used to analyze the correlation and dose-response relationship of pulse pressure and pulse pressure index with metabolic syndrome.Results:With increases in pulse pressure levels and pulse pressure index, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components increased accordingly( P<0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, the ORvalue of metabolic syndrome gradually increased along with increases in pulse pressure and pulse pressure index.Compared with the first quartile, pulse pressure and pulse pressure index in the second, third and fourth quartiles were correlated with metabolic syndrome(pulse pressure: OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.47~1.58, OR=1.89, 95% CI: 1.82~1.96 and OR=2.15, 95% CI: 2.07~2.23, respectively; pulse pressure index: OR=1.22, 95% CI: 1.18~1.26, OR=1.36, 95% CI: 1.31~1.41 and OR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.42~1.53, respectively). Restricted cubic spline analysis showed that pulse pressure and pulse pressure index had non-linear dose-response relationships with metabolic syndrome( χ2=309.23 and 57.14, P<0.01). Conclusions:Pulse pressure and pulse pressure index are correlated and show non-linear dose-response relationships with metabolic syndrome and its components in the elderly.

Objective To investigate the role of DWI in differentiating autoimmune pancreatitis ( AIP) from pancreatic cancer ( PC) , and in the therapeutic effect evaluation of AIP.Methods DWI data of 26 cases with AIP , 29 cases with PC and 30 cases with normal pancreas ( NP ) were analyzed retrospectively.The distribution type and signal feature of lesions in cases with AIP or PC were evaluated by Chi-squared test.ADC values were measured and compared among 3 groups by Kruskal-Wallis test.ADC values of AIP and PC were analyzed by using ROC curve to determine the optimal threshold and diagnostic efficiency.ADC values were compared in AIP ( n=15 ) before and after steroid therapy by paired t test.Results Diffuse lesions were detected in 21 cases with AIP and 3 cases with PC, while focal lesions in 5 cases with AIP and 26 cases with PC (χ2 =27.64, P<0.01).On DWI, most of AIP (n=19) and PC (n=24) showed hyper-intense signal, while a few of AIP (n=7) and PC (n =5) showed iso-intense signal (χ2 =0.75, P>0.05).The median ADC values of AIP, PC and NP were 1.15 ×10 -3,1.35 × 10 -3 ,1.59 ×10-3 mm2/s, respectively; and the difference was statistically significant ( H=45.60, P <0.01).ROC analysis yielded an optimal ADC cutoff value of 1.255 ×10 -3 mm2/s (80.8% sensitivity, 79.3%specificity and 0.871 area under curve for the diagnosis of AIP ).ADC values of AIP ( n=15) were markedly increased from the baseline (1.10 ±0.19) ×10 -3 to (1.57 ±0.12) ×10 -3 mm2/s after steroid therapy (t=-10.14, P<0.01).Conclusions DWI may be useful for diagnosing and evaluating the effect of steroid therapy in AIP.ADC values of AIP were significantly lower than those of pancreatic cancer and normal pancreas.After steroid therapy , ADC values were markedly increased in AIP.

Background:
Diabetic pain patients have increased pain at night. Exosomes can relieve neuropathic pain. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of exosome administration at different time points in relieving diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) in rats.
Methods:
M2 macrophages from bone marrow were induced in mice and exosomes were extracted. A diabetic rat model was induced using streptozotocin, with the mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) of the rats beingmeasured at ≤ 80% of the basal value after 14 days, indicating successful construction of the DNP rat model.Exosomes were administered on three consecutive days at ZT0 (zeitgeber time) and ZT12. Parameters including blood glucose levels, body weight, MWT, and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) were assessed in the rats. The lumbar spinal cord of rats was examined on days 21 and 28 to measure inflammatory factors and observe the expression of M1 and M2 microglia. Furthermore, microglia were exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and LPS + exosomes in a controlled in vitro setting to assess alterations in microglia phenotype involving the NF-kB p65 andIKBα inflammatory signaling pathways.
Results:
The findings revealed that administration of exosomes during the rat resting period at ZT12 resulted in increased MWT and TWL, as well as a shift in microglia polarization towards the M2 phenotype. In vitro analysis indicated that exosomes influenced microglia polarization and suppressed the phosphorylation of NF-kB p65 andIKBα.
Conclusions
Temporal therapy with exosomes effectively reduces pain in DNP rats by polarizing microglia andaffecting NF-kB p65 and IKBα signaling pathways.
