Objective:To explore the knowledge and attitude of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in community residents in Shanghai and analyze the influencing factors.Methods:The residents in 16 communities in Shanghai were selected by convenient sampling and investigated from November 2018 to June 2019, and a total of 714 valid questionnaires were recovered. The residents' CPR knowledge and attitude were analyzed descriptively, and multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors.Results:The total score of CPR knowledge among the 714 community residents in Shanghai was (24.58±7.80) , with a passing rate of 36.13% (258/714) , and the passing rate of "artificial respiration knowledge" was the lowest, which was 38.66% (276/714) . The total score of the residents' CPR attitude was (40.95±5.18) , and the average scores of "attitude to learning CPR" and "attitude to implementing CPR" were (3.60±0.45) and (3.22±0.50) , respectively. Analysis of the influencing factors showed that gender, age, education level, conscious health status, whether they have heard of CPR, whether they have received CPR training, and whether they have encountered emergency rescue communities were the influencing factors to the community residents' CPR knowledge and attitude ( P < 0.05) . Conclusions:The overall CPR knowledge level of the community residents in Shanghai is relatively low, and the residents prefer to learn CPR and implement CPR for their relatives and friends, rather than strangers. Younger, better conscious health status, and having heard of CPR can help the residents improve their CPR knowledge and attitude, while women, higher education level, and residents who have encountered emergency rescue communities have better CPR knowledge. The CPR training has a positive effect on the residents' attitude to learning and implementing CPR. Future CPR training needs to increase the training intensity and duration, and help the residents to improve the level of CPR knowledge and attitude.

TCP (teosinte branched1/cincinnata/proliferating cell factor) is a group of plant-specific transcription factors that play important roles in plant growth and development. To date, there are no report about TCP transcription factors in eggplant (Solanum melongena L). In this study, twenty-nine eggplant TCP (SmTCP) family genes distributed on 11 chromosomes were identified from the genome database of eggplant using bioinformatics methods. The results showed that all members of the family contained sequences encoding TCP conserved domains with length of amino acids ranging from 201 to 538 and exon numbers of 1 or 2. Subcellular localization revealed that three SmTCP proteins (SmTCP02/03/21) were located in the cytoplasm and the other SmTCP proteins were located in the nucleus. The 29 TCP transcription factors were divided into ClassⅠ (PCF) and ClassⅡ (CIN and CYC/TB1) by phylogenetic tree and sequence analysis. Collinearity analysis showed that 17 pairs (21) of SmTCP genes had collinearity, and these collinearity genes belonged to segmental duplication. Analysis of gene expression patterns showed that all 29 members of SmTCP gene family were expressed in 15 tissues or organs, but the expression patterns were different. Among them, four gene (SmTCP18/19/20/25) of CIN subfamily were highly expressed in leaves at different growth stages. Analysis of cis-acting elements in the promoter region of SmTCP showed that there were four types of cis-acting elements, which were light response related cis-acting elements, growth and development related cis-acting elements, hormone response related cis-acting elements and stress related cis-acting elements. In summary, the molecular basis of SmTCP genes in eggplant and the influence of TCP gene on the growth and development of eggplant provided a theoretical basis for molecular breeding of eggplant.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value and related factors of heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) in patients with heart failure.Methods:A total of 877 consecutive patients who were admitted to heart failure care unit of Fuwai hospital and diagnosed as heart failure from July 2015 to July 2017 were enrolled in this study. Baseline serum H-FABP concentration was measured by fluorescence lateral flow immunoassay. According to serum H-FABP levels, patients were divided into three groups: low H-FABP group (H-FABP≤4.04 ng/ml, n=292), middle H-FABP group (H-FABP 4.04-7.02 ng/ml, n=292) and high H-FABP group (H-FABP≥7.02 ng/ml, n=293). The general clinical characteristics were collected and compared among the three groups. According to whether heart failure was caused by coronary artery disease or not, patients with heart failure were divided into ischemic heart failure and non-ischemic heart failure. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to explore the independent risk factors of H-FABP. The primary endpoint events were the composite of all-cause death or heart transplantation. Multivariate Cox regression analyses, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, risk prediction tests with multivariate Cox regression model and Kaplan-Meier analyses were conducted to investigate the relationship between H-FABP and the prognosis of heart failure. Results:Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that age, coronary artery disease, alanine aminotransferase, uric acid and N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were positively associated with H-FABP (β=0.012, 0.238, 0.001, 0.345 and 0.063 respectively,all P<0.05), while female, hemoglobin, albumin, sodium, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were negatively associated with H-FABP (β=-0.184, -0.006, -0.016, -0.034 and -0.006 respectively, all P<0.05). One hundred and nineteen patients (13.6%) lost to follow-up, and 246 patients (32.5%) suffered from all-cause death or heart transplantation during the median follow-up duration of 931 (412-1 185) days. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that baseline H-FABP (log 2H-FABP) level was the independent predictor of all-cause death or heart transplantation in patients with heart failure ( HR=1.39, P<0.001). ROC curves showed that baseline H-FABP was a predictor of all-cause death or heart transplantation in patients with heart failure within 3 months, 1 year and 2 years (areas under the curves were 0.69, 0.69 and 0.71 respectively), and the best cut-off values were 5.85 ng/ml, 6.54 ng/ml and 6.54 ng/ml respectively. Risk prediction test with multivariate Cox regression model showed that baseline H-FABP could provide additional prognostic value in predicting all-cause death or heart transplantation for patients with heart failure on top of basic model and baseline NT-proBNP ( P<0.001). Taking 6.54 ng/ml and trisected levels of H-FABP as cut-off values respectively, Kaplan-Meier analyses showed that the survival rates were significantly different among the two or three groups ( P<0.001). Subgroup analyses showed that baseline H-FABP (log 2H-FABP) level was an independent predictor of all-cause death or heart transplantation in patients with ischemic heart failure ( HR=1.74, P<0.001), as well as in patients with non-ischemic heart failure ( HR=1.28, P=0.027). Conclusions:Age, sex, coronary artery disease, hemoglobin, albumin, alanine aminotransferase, sodium, eGFR, uric acid and NT-proBNP are associated with H-FABP level. Baseline H-FABP level is an independent predictor of all-cause death or heart transplantation in patients with heart failure. On top of basic model and baseline NT-proBNP, baseline H-FABP could provide additional prognostic value in predicting adverse events for patients with heart failure.
