Objective:
To analyze the trend in disease burden of stroke in Linping District, Hangzhou City from 2014 to 2023, so as to provide the basis for prevention and control of stroke.
Methods:
Data on incidence and mortality of stroke in Linping District from 2014 to 2023 were collected through the Chronic Disease and Death Cause Monitoring System of Hangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The disease burden was evaluated by calculating years of life lost (YLL), years lived with disability (YLD) and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) with reference to the methodology of the Global Burden of Disease Study, and standardized using the data of the seventh national population census in 2020. The trend was analyzed using average annual percent change (AAPC). The disease burden of stroke attributed to risk factors was calculated.
Results:
The crude incidence of stroke was 298.13/105 and the crude mortality was 62.72/105 in Linping District from 2014 to 2023. The YYL, YLD and DALY caused by stroke were 49 413.60, 8 197.68, and 57 611.28 person-years, respectively, with decreasing trends in YLL and DALY, and an increasing trend in YLD (AAPC=-12.663%, -10.427% and 3.035%, all P<0.05). The standardized YLL rate, standardized YLD rate and standardized DALY rate were 9.54‰, 1.53‰ and 11.07‰, respectively, showing decreasing trends (AAPC=-16.011%,-0.975% and -13.791%, all P<0.05). Higher standardized DALY rate (P<0.05) and slower decline were seen in men than in women (AAPC=-13.025% vs. -14.550%, both P<0.05). The highest DALY of stroke was attributed to combined risk factors (men, 18 754.05 person-years; women, 13 256.60 person-years), followed by hypertension (men, 12 231.23 person-years; women, 9 373.77 person-years). The DALY of stroke attributed to smoking was 15.67 times higher in men than in women, and the DALY of stroke attributed to a lack of exercise was 1.27 times higher in women than in men.
Conclusion
There was an overall decreasing trend in the disease burden of stroke in Lingping District from 2014 to 2023, with a higher disease burden in men. The coexistence of multiple risk factors had a greater impact on stroke.

In order to study the effects of Ca2+ in the biosynthesis of salvianolic acid B (Sal B) induced by salicylic acid (SA) in the young seedlings of Salvia miltiorrhiza, we used confocal laser scanning microscopy and high performance liquid chromatography to measure the change of relative fluorescence intensity of Ca2+ and the contents of Sal B induced by SA before and after the application of extracellular calcium channel inhibitors (VP and LaCl3), intracellular calcium channel inhibitor (LiCl), as well as intracellular calmodulin antagonist (TFP). SA could induce the calcium burst, and the Ca2+ peak could last to 2-3 min in the guard cells of S. miltiorrhiza, which prompted the biosynthesis of Sal B after the Ca2+ burst. Both Vp or LaCl3, and LiCl or TFP could inhibit the burst of Ca2+ and the biosynthesis of Sal B. The above results demonstrated that Ca2+ from the extracellular and the intracellular calcium store regulate the biosynthesis of Sal B elicited by salicylic acid in S. miltiorrhiz young seedlings.

Objective To investigate the effect of extract ofTangshen-HuazhuoRecipe(TSHZR) on the serum concentrations of transforming growth factorβ1(TGF-β1) and platelet derived growth factor(PDGF) in patients withⅣ stage of diabetic nephropathy(DN).Methods From June 2012 to December 2012, 98 patients ofⅣstage DN in our hospital outpatient were enrolled and randomly divided into treatment group(n=48) and control group(n=50) using random number table. All patients received conventional therapies of controlling blood sugar, lipid, blood pressure and anticoagulant therapy. On such basis, the control group was treated by irbesartan, 150 mg/d, and the treated group treated by TSHZR combined with irbesartan,150 mg/d, for 6 months. Serum TGF-β1 and PDGF were determined with ELISA before and after treatment,and urinary albumin excretion rate,HbA1c,serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen and lipid profiles were examined as well. ResultsIn the treated group, the TGF-β1 was(172.5±31.3), (123.6±21.2)pg/ml, the PDGF was(860.9± 131.2), (500.6±130.2)pg/ml before the treatment and after the treatment, respectively. The TGF-β1 and PDGF after the treatment were significantly decreased than those before the treatment(P<0.01). After the treatment, TGF-β1 and PDGF in the treated group were statistically significant compared to the control group[TGF-β1 is(157.4±39.6)pg/ml, PDGF is(765.7±161.8)]pg/ml,P<0.01). After the treatment, the treatment group was superior to the control group in TG(1.72±0.25)mmol/L,(2.09±0.27)mmol/L,(P<0.01), TC(4.56± 0.64)mmol/L,(6.11±0.93)mmol/L, (P<0.01), HDL-C(1.56±0.50)mmol/L,(1.36±0.44)mmol/L, (P<0.01), LDL-C(2.46±1.08)mmol/L(3.32±0.87)mmol/L,(P<0.05)and UAER(100.73±204.24)μg/min, (226.24±396.38)μg/min, (P<0.01).Conclusion TSHZR can inhibit the progressive of IV stage of diabetic nephropathy by suppressing TGF-β1 and PDGF expression level.
