Objective:To collect the Internet news about "sudden death", analyze its characteristics and resuscitation effects, so as to provide reference for formulating intervention strategies.Methods:The Internet was used to search for "sudden death" and "cardiac arrest" on "Baidu" and "360" websites. Reports of sudden death events were collected from January 2013 to December 2022. The age, gender, characteristics of sudden death, implementation characteristics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and pre-hospital and final clinical outcomes of sudden death patients were recorded and analyzed. Subgroup analyses were performed for pre-hospital and final clinical outcomes. Unconditional multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the related factors affecting the pre-hospital and final clinical outcomes in patients with sudden death.Results:177 news reports were finally confirmed, involving 177 sudden death patients, including 152 males (85.9%) and 25 females (14.1%), aged (37.27±16.82) years old, and 53.1% in the 16-45 years old group. Triggering factors included strenuous exercise (29.9%), heart disease history (7.9%), overwork (6.2%), staying up late and insomnia (4.0%), activation of emotion (2.8%), and no obvious inducement (48.0%). After on-site first aid, 104 cases (58.8%) achieved restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) before hospital admission, and 18 cases (10.2%) recovered consciousness. After clinical treatment, 109 cases (61.6%) achieved ROSC, 86 cases (48.6%) recovered consciousness, and 22 cases (12.4%) did not report the final outcome. Subgroup analysis showed that compared with patients who achieved pre-hospital ROSC ( n = 104), sudden death in non-ROSC patients ( n = 73) mainly occurred during sleep, in residence and without immediate CPR, full CPR, or automated external defibrillator (AED); and patients who ultimately did not recover consciousness clinically ( n = 91) showed similar characteristics compared with patients who recovered consciousness ( n = 86). Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis showed that immediate CPR [pre-hospital ROSC: odds ratio ( OR) = 8.06, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 2.36-27.46; final recovery of consciousness: OR = 9.10, 95% CI was 2.46-33.68] and AED defibrillation (pre-hospital ROSC: OR = 36.31, 95% CI was 4.53-291.19; final recovery of consciousness: OR = 3.53, 95% CI was 1.45-8.61) facilitated pre-hospital achievement of sudden death patients ROSC and final recovery of consciousness. Conclusions:Out-of-hospital sudden death mainly occurs in young people, and vigorous exercise is one of the potential factors for out-of-hospital sudden death, with nearly half having no obvious cause. Immediate and rapid CPR and defibrillation are the simplest and most effective on-site first aid methods. Strengthening public CPR and defibrillation education and training, and advocating healthy lifestyle are effective ways to improve the survival rate of sudden death and reduce the occurrence of sudden death. Based on practical clinical rescue experience, the implementation of bystander CPR by medical personnel is also a factor that cannot be ignored in affecting the clinical outcomes of sudden death patients.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(3):385-388
Objective:
To investigate the sleep quality and influencing factors of the first batch of college students returning to school during COVID-19 epidemic, so as to provide scientific basis for taking corresponding measures.
Methods:
An anonymous self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted among the first batch of college students returning from a certain university by cluster sampling, which included general demographic characteristics, Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI).
Results:
The detection rate of sleep disorders was 19.33%(522/2 701). The mother s education level was high school or technical secondary school or below(OR=2.24, 95%CI=1.47-3.41), never eat breakfast(OR=3.25, 95%CI=1.86-5.68), families were damaged during the outbreak (OR=1.48, 95%CI=1.17-1.87) and negative coping (OR=1.15, 95%CI=1.12-1.17) were risk factors for sleep disorders(P<0.05). Compared to having a very poor relationship with parents, the relationship between parents was average(OR=0.23, 95%CI=0.06-0.89), better(OR=0.23, 95%CI=0.06-0.87), very good (OR=0.19, 95%CI=0.05-0.74) were protective factors for sleep disorders(P<0.05). Exercise once or twice a week during the epidemic(OR=0.76, 95%CI=0.58-1.00), positive coping (OR=0.93, 95%CI=0.91-0.96) were protective factors for sleep disorders(P<0.05).
Conclusion
In this COVID-19 epidemic, the sleep quality of returning college students was affected to different extent, and the relationship between parents, sports, mother s education, breakfast habits, and family damage during the COVID-19 were factors affecting their sleep quality. Targeted psychological intervention measures should be given to returning college students in the early stage.

Objective:To explore the effects of scutellarein on the cell proliferation and migration of cervical cancer cell line HCC94 through miRNA-496 (miR-496) and stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1).Methods:HCC94 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were taken as objects, and 20 μmol/L scutellarin solution (scutellarin group) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (control group) were added respectively. The CCK-8 method and Transwell experiment were used to detect the proliferation and migration ability of the two groups of HCC94 cells. The relative expression levels of miR-496 and SDF-1 mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The target gene of miR-496 was predicted by the bioinformatics software TarBase and verified by the dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Western blot was used to detect the expression of related proteins.Results:Compared with the control group, the proliferation ability of HCC94 cells in the scutellarin group was decreased on the 3rd, 4th and 5th day of culture (all P < 0.05). The number of HCC94 cells in the scutellarin group and the control group were 25±5 and 134±19, respectively, and the cell migration ability of the scutellarin group was lower than that of the control group ( t = 5.61, P < 0.01). The relative expressions of miR-496 in the control group and the scutellarin group were 1.07±0.12 and 11.24±2.75, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 3.68, P < 0.01). The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that SDF-1 was the downstream targeted gene of miR-496. The relative expressions of SDF-1 mRNA in the scutellarin group and the control group were 0.29±0.05 and 1.01±0.07, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 7.22, P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, after scutellarin promoted the expression of miR-496, the expressions of SDF-1 protein, the cell proliferation protein cyclin-dependent kinase 3 (CDK3) and the cell migration proteins Slug and Zeb-2 were decreased. Conclusions:Scutellarin could inhibit the proliferation and migration of cervical cancer HCC94 cells through the miR-496-SDF-1 axis.
