Objective To explore the risk prediction model of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in community patients with hypertension based on remote ambulatory blood pressure parameters. Methods From November 2023 to October 2024, 486 community patients with hypertension who received standardized management in Nanjing Medical University Affiliated to Suzhou Hospital were retrospectively selected. All patients wore remote ambulatory blood pressure monitor to obtain 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure data. Clinical data were collected and remote ambulatory blood pressure parameters [24-hour systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV), 24-hour diastolic blood pressure variability (DBPV), nighttime SBPV, nighttime DBPV, daytime SBPV, daytime DBPV] were extracted. The patients were followed up for 12 months, and were classified into MACE group (n=42) and non-MACE group (n=444) according to whether MACE occurred during follow-up. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was adopted to screen the influencing factors for MACE. Based on the above factors, a risk prediction model was constructed and verified by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results MACE occurred in 42 cases among 486 patients, with an incidence rate of 8.64%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis suggested that nighttime DBPV (OR=1.119, 95%CI: 1.030-1.214), 24h-SBPV (OR=1.115, 95%CI: 1.007-1.235), nighttime SBPV (OR=1.116, 95%CI: 1.016-1.226) and diabetes mellitus (OR=2.762, 95%CI: 1.059-7.203) were independent factors for MACE (P<0.05). The model validation results revealed that the area under the ROC curve was 0.905 (95%CI: 0.854-0.956 ), and the model had a good discrimination degree. Conclusion Nighttime DBPV, 24h-SBPV, nighttime SBPV and diabetes mellitus are independent risk factors for MACE in community patients with hypertension. The clinical prediction model based on these variables exhibits certain predictive value on MACE risk.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of cognitive frailty and its associated factors among middle-aged and elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Gusu District, Suzhou City, to provide a basis for intervention measures. Methods COPD patients managed at Pingjiang New Town Community Health Service Center in Gusu District from January to December 2024 were selected. Data were collected using the Fried Frailty Phenotype, Mini-Mental State Examination, and a general information questionnaire. Chi-square tests, one-way analysis of variance, and multivariate Logistic regression were used for data analysis. Results A total of 1 388 patients were included, with 916 males (65.99%) and 472 females (34.01%). Cognitive frailty was observed in 554 cases (prevalence: 39.91%). Univariate analysis showed significant differences in gender, education, visual impairment, hearing impairment, sleep disorders, and disease duration between the cognitive frailty and non-cognitive frailty groups (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression indicated that education was negatively associated with cognitive frailty (illiteracy OR=6.969, P<0.001; primary school OR=1.499, P=0.005), while visual impairment (OR=2.347, P<0.001), hearing impairment (OR=1.705, P<0.001), sleep disorders (OR=2.488, P<0.001), and disease duration (≤5 years OR=0.329, P<0.001; 6-10 years OR=0.487, P<0.001) were positively associated with cognitive frailty. Conclusion The prevalence of cognitive frailty among middle-aged and elderly COPD patients in Gusu District, Suzhou City, is high (39.91%). Epositively associated with cognitive frailtyducation, sensory impairments, sleep disorders, and disease duration are associated factors. Clinical attention to high-risk groups and implementation of early screening and targeted interventions are recommended.

Objective To investigate the impact of Naples prognostic score(NPS)and prognostic nutritional index(PNI)on postoperative recurrence and survival in patients with endometrial cancer(EC).Methods A total of 258 EC patients were selected for surgical treatment.Clinical data such as the patients' age at admission,pathological grade,depth of myometrial invasion,lymphovascular space invasion(LVSI),lymph node metastasis and clinical stage of the International Society of Gynecological Oncology(FIGO)were collected.One week before the operation,the laboratory indicators were detected in patients,and NPS and PNI were calculated.The patients were followed up and divided into the recurrence group(n=72)and the non-recurrence group(n=186)according to whether there was recurrence after the operation.The recurrence curves were plotted using Kaplan-Meier method,and the Log-rank test was used to compare the differences in recurrence curves between patients with different NPS and PNI.The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative recurrence in patients with EC.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of PNI and NPS scores for postoperative recurrence in patients with EC.Results The proportion of patients with high-risk NPS scores was significantly higher in the recurrence group than that in the non-recurrence group(41.7%vs.19.4%,P＜0.05).The PNI was significantly lower in the recurrence group than that in the non-recurrence group(42.1±7.6 vs.47.2±8.9,P＜0.01).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that advanced age,elevated serum carbohydrate antigen 125(CA125),pathological grades G2 and G3,myometrial invasion depth>1/2,positive LVSI,FIGO stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ and medium-high risk patients with NPS score were independent risk factors for recurrence.Postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy and elevated PNI were independent protective factors for recurrence in patients.ROC curve analysis showed that the combined predictive value of NPS score and PNI for postoperative recurrence in patients with EC was superior to that of individual predictions.Conclusion Both NPS and PNI can be used as potential indicators to predict the prognosis of patients with endometrial cancer.

AIM: To delineate the specific mutation responsible for retinitis pigmentosa(RP)in a Yi pedigree, and to analyze the correlation of RHO gene mutation with clinical phenotype.METHODS:A comprehensive clinical evaluation was conducted on the proband diagnosed with RP and other familial members, complemented by a thorough ophthalmic examination. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from the proband and familial members, from which genomic DNA was extracte. Subsequent whole exome sequencing(WES)was employed to identify the variant genes in the proband. The identified variant gene was validated through Sanger sequencing, then an in-depth analysis of the mutation genes was carried out using genetic databases to ascertain the pathogenic mutation sites. Furthermore, an exhaustive analysis was performed to delineate the genotype and phenotype characteristics.RESULTS:The RP pedigree encompasses 5 generations with 42 members, including 19 males and 23 females. A total of 13 cases of RP were identified, consisting of 4 males and 9 females, which conforms to the autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. The clinical features of this family include an early onset age, rapid progression, and a more severe condition. The patients were found to have night blindness around 6 years old, representing the earliest reported case of night blindness in RP families. The retina was manifested by progressive osteocytoid pigmentation of the fundus, a reduced visual field, and significantly decreased or even vanished a and b amplitudes of ERG. The combined results of WES and Sanger sequencing indicated that the proband had a heterozygous missense mutation of the RHO gene c.1040C>T:p.P347L, where the 1 040 base C of cDNA was replaced by T, causing codon 347 to encode leucine instead of proline. Interestingly, this mutation has not been reported in the Chinese population.CONCLUSION:This study confirmed that the mutant gene of RP in a Yi nationality pedigree was RHO(c.1040C>T). This variant leads to the change of codon 347 from encoding proline to encoding leucine, resulting in a severe clinical phenotype among family members. This study provides a certain molecular, clinical, and genetic basis for genetic counseling and gene diagnosis of RHO.

Objective:This study aims to determine the risk perception, evacuation decision-making, and influencing factors related to typhoon disasters among public.Methods:A cross-sectional study will be conducted in residents of Hainan from September 2024 to January 2025. The study will employ chi-square tests, t-tests, and binary logistic regression analysis to examine factors influencing evacuation behavior decisions. Furthermore, structural equation modeling based on ordered choice model will be constructed to validate the mechanisms through which risk perception affects evacuation decision-making processes.Results:Among 517 respondents from 11 administrative districts (counties) in Hainan Province, 62.09% of the residents were willing to evacuate. The decision of public evacuation behavior was significantly related to disaster knowledge, official trust, risk perception, source of warning information and some demographic characteristics. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that warning information sources positively correlated with disaster knowledge and official trust (path coefficients: 0.363, 0.315, both P < 0.001). Both disaster knowledge and official trust showed positive correlations with risk perception (path coefficients: 0.157, 0.165, both P < 0.001), while risk perception positively influenced evacuation decisions (path coefficient: 0.137, P = 0.003). Moreover, source of warning information, disaster knowledge and official trust further positively affect evacuation behavior decision through risk perception, a key mediating variable. Conclusions:Disaster knowledge, official trust, risk perception and other factors can directly or indirectly affect the evacuation behavior of the public following the typhoon disaster. In typhoon-prone areas, it is recommended to enhance public risk perception through strategies such as authoritative training, diversified early warning channels, and improving government credibility, thereby promoting disaster preparedness and evacuation behaviors.
