Objective To construct a predictive model for the survival of transplant kidneys after kidney transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 366 kidney transplant recipients and donors were retrospectively analyzed, and the recipients were divided into low-risk group (n=101), medium-risk group (n=189), and high-risk group (n=76) based on the kidney donor profile index (KDPI). Each group was further divided into Remuzzi score ≤3 group and Remuzzi score >3 group based on time-zero biopsy Remuzzi scores. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival of transplant kidneys. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors affecting long-term survival after kidney transplantation. A predictive model for transplant kidney survival was established and a nomogram was drawn. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC). Results The median KDPI was 65%, and the median Remuzzi score was 3. The 5-year survival rate of transplant kidneys was 83.5%. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that in the KDPI medium-risk and KDPI high-risk groups, the subgroup with lower Remuzzi score had a higher survival rates of transplant kidneys than the subgroup with higher Remuzzi score. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that KDPI, Remuzzi score, and donor’s age were independent risk factors for transplant kidney loss (all P<0.05). The ROC curve showed that the AUC of the nomogram prediction model established based on independent risk factors for the 1, 3 and 5-year survival rates of transplant kidneys were 0.91, 0.93 and 0.94 for the training set, and 0.89, 0.85 and 0.88 for the validation set. Calibration curves shows good consistency between the training and validation sets of the model. Conclusions The nomogram predictive model based on KDPI, time-zero biopsy Remuzzi score and donor’s age has good predictive value for transplant kidney survival.

ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of health information dissemination and its influencing factors using the "Shanghai CDC" WeChat public account as a case study, providing references for public health institutions to optimize the use of official new media platforms for effective publicity. MethodsA total of 1 030 headline articles published on the "Shanghai CDC" WeChat public account between 2016 and 2019 were analyzed using content analysis and non-parametric tests to examine the impact of factors such as titles and content categories. ResultsFrom 2016 to 2019, the number of WeChat public account followers increased by 280 000, with the articles accumulating over 8.8 million views. The median (P25, P75) open rate of articles was 5.90% (3.69%, 10.31%), and the median (P25, P75) sharing and forwarding rate was 6.60% (4.25%, 9.17%). Factors such as the use of first- and second-person pronouns, degree adverbs, negative adverbs, explicit viewpoints, and title length all significantly affected the open rate of articles, with OR (95%CI) values of 0.175 (0.041‒0.756), 32.606 (2.350‒452.432), 4.079 (1.093‒15.230), 0.106 (0.028‒0.409), and 1.184 (1.063‒1.319),respectively (all P<0.05). In terms of content, statistical significant differences in dissemination effectiveness were observed across article categories and themes (P<0.05). In terms of article categories, articles related to news hotspots and service information had higher open rates of 9.58% and 14.00%, respectively. These two types of articles also obtained higher sharing and forwarding rates of 7.65% and 9.16%, respectively. In terms of article topics, compared with healthy life and health products, among the top four topics in terms of publication volume, the open rates of articles about infectious diseases and disease-causing biology and immunization programs were higher, accounting for 7.88% and 6.88%, respectively, with no significant difference in sharing and forwarding rates. ConclusionThe "Shanghai CDC" WeChat public account demonstrated good dissemination effectiveness. Enhancing article titles by increasing informational content and degree adverbs (e.g., "highly," "most," and "extremely") and negative adverbs (e.g., "no") can improve dissemination reach. Public health WeChat accounts should incorporate news hotspots or service information in their articles. While maintaining their strengths in disseminating knowledge on infectious diseases and immunization programs, they should also enhance public education in other professional fields within their scope of responsibility to improve the overall dissemination impact of health information.

Objective:
To investigate the knowledge, attitudes and practice related to salt reduction among residents in Xicheng District, Beijing Municipality, and to analyze the influencing factors of salt reduction practice, so as to provide the evidence for formulating salt reduction strategies.
Methods:
In July 2023, permanent residents aged 18-79 years in Xicheng District were selected using the multistage stratified random sampling method and probability proportionate to size sampling method. Data on demographic information, history of chronic diseases, salt intake, as well as knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding salt reduction were collected through questionnaire surveys. The residents' salt intake excess rate, salt reduction awareness rate, salt reduction attitudes support rate, and salt reduction practice rate were analyzed. The influencing factors of salt reduction practice were analyzed by a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
Totally 6 360 questionnaires were allocated, and 6 211 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.66%. Among the respondents, 3 022 (48.66%) were males and 3 189 (51.34%) were females, with a mean age of (46.80±15.10) years. Excessive salt intake was identified in 2 111 individuals, with an excess rate of 33.99%. Knowledge awareness of salt reduction was observed in 4 187 participants, with an awareness rate of 67.41%. Supportive attitudes were reported by 5 636 participants, with a support rate of 90.74%. And salt reduction practices were adopted by 3 152 participants, with a practice rate of 50.75%. The multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that female (OR=1.397, 95%CI: 1.257-1.553), aged 40-79 years (40-<60 years, OR=1.290, 95%CI: 1.141-1.459; 60-79 years, OR=1.301, 95%CI: 1.114-1.519, having chronic diseases (OR=1.826, 95%CI: 1.582-2.108), awareness of salt reduction (OR=1.695, 95%CI: 1.511-1.901), and a supportive attitude towards salt reduction (OR=6.235, 95%CI: 4.900-7.933) were promoting factors for residents' salt reduction practice.
Conclusions
Residents in Xicheng District demonstrated high awareness and supportive attitudes regarding salt reduction, yet the actual practice rate was relatively low. Factors influencing salt reduction practice included gender, age, chronic disease, salt reduction knowledge and attitude.

Mitochondria are the main site of energy metabolism in cardiomyocytes, and at the same time mediate apoptosis and immune response, so mitochondrial dysfunction is closely related to the development of heart failure. Combined with the pathogenesis of mitochondrial dysfunction and heart failure, it is proposed that the mitochondrial function is similar to "sweat pore - collaterals - zang and fu organs", according to which the treatment of heart failure is based on the theory of "sweat pore - collaterals - zang and fu organs". It is believed that the core mechanism of heart failure is qi deficiency, and qi deficiency leads to the weakness of the sweat pore opening and closing, or even the sweat pore closure, then resulting in qi deficiency and blood stasis, collaterals stagnation fail to flourish, and qi, blood, and body fluids can not infiltrate and nourish zang-fu organs, so that the heart fail to be nourished, and the disease will develop. The treatment should be based on the method of boosting qi and opening sweat pore, using acridity to unblock the collaterals, and invigorating blood and draining water, with medicinal of boosting qi, invigorating blood, and draining water as treatment.
