Objective To explore the correlation between the recurrence rate of the elderly patients with lacunar infarction and the risk factors including blood pressure, blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides,low density lipoprotein cholesterol values, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and other. Methods 207 over 60 years old patients with lacunar infarction occurred the first time were included in the study. All patients were followed up two years to assess the relapse rate and the risk factors of the patients with lacunar infarction. Results 207 cases of elderly patients with lacunar infarction complicated with hypertension,type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia were 148 cases,22 cases,7 cases respectively, and the recurrence rates of three groups were 8.78%, 18.18%, 14.29% respectively;The patients complicated with hypertension and 2 type diabetes were 6 cases,and the recurrence rate was 34.62%;The patients without hypertension,type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia were 4 cases,and the recurrence rate was 0%. In two years,27 cases of lacunar infarction recurred,and the recurrence rate was 13.04%. Conclusion Hypertension,type 2 diabetes,hyperlipidemia could also be considered as the high-risk predictor factors for the recurrence rate of the elderly patients with lacunar infarction.

Objective:To analyze the changes in the management methods of large medical equipment in China, evaluate the equity of large medical equipment allocation planning from the 13th Five-Year Plan to the 14th Five-Year Plan.Methods:The literature research was used to sort out the characteristics and changes of the management of large medical equipment in China. The database was established to quantitatively analyze the existing number of large medical equipment at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan and the planned number of large medical equipment at the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, and then the fairness evaluation was carried out based on the Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient.Results:Since the 1980s, the management measures of large-scale medical equipment in China have been introduced and updated iteratively to meet the needs of social development and medical services. In addition to conventional radiotherapy equipment, the number of large medical equipment per million population in China at the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan at least doubled compared with the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan, among which the heavy ion radiotherapy system and the laparoscopic surgery system increased by more than two times. Lorenz curve analysis showed that the fairness of large medical equipment based on population distribution at the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan was better than that at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan, especially for heavy ion proton radiotherapy system, high-end radiotherapy equipment and PET/MR. The Gini coefficient of large medical equipment planning based on population distribution during the 14th Five-Year Plan was generally smaller than that of the 13th Five-Year Plan. Except for the heavy ion proton radiotherapy system and PET/MR in North China, the Gini coefficient of the planned number of all kinds of equipment in the six regions of the country during the 14th Five-Year Plan was less than 0.4 based on population distribution, which was in a relatively fair state.Conclusions:The management of large medical equipment in China keeps pace with the times and constantly adapts to the new development stage of health care. The fairness of large medical equipment allocation planning based on population distribution in six regions of China has been steadily improved, and it is suggested that the fairness based on population distribution and the clinical application of existing equipment should be taken into account in the allocation planning.

The negative effects of low temperature can readily induce a variety of diseases. We sought to understand the reasons why cold stress induces disease by studying the mechanisms of fine-tuning in macrophages following cold exposure. We found that cold stress triggers increased macrophage activation accompanied by metabolic reprogramming of aerobic glycolysis. The discovery, by genome-wide RNA sequencing, of defective mitochondria in mice macrophages following cold exposure indicated that mitochondrial defects may contribute to this process. In addition, changes in metabolism drive the differentiation of macrophages by affecting histone modifications. Finally, we showed that histone acetylation and lactylation are modulators of macrophage differentiation following cold exposure. Collectively, metabolism-related epigenetic modifications are essential for the differentiation of macrophages in cold-stressed mice, and the regulation of metabolism may be crucial for alleviating the harm induced by cold stress.
