Objective:
The objective of this study is to analyze the trend of burden of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in China between 1990 and 2015.
Methods:
Data were collected from the results of 2015 Global Burden of Disease Study. We arranged and analyzed the mortality and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) for IHD by sexes, ages and provinces (excluding Taiwan, China) in China between 1990 and 2015. The age-standardized rates were determined using the average world population age structure in the period of 2010-2035 as a reference, and the changes of the related indicators were calculated.
Results:
In 2015, IHD caused 1 461 thousand deaths, and its age-standardized death rate was 114.8 per 100 000. Number of DALYs from IHD were 25 765 thousand in 2015, with the age-standardized DALY rate at 1 760.2 per 100 000. From 1990 to 2015, the age-standardized death rate for IHD in China increased by 13.3% but age-standardized DALY rate decreased by 3.9%. Number of IHD DALYs among male (16 664 thousand) was higher than it among female (9 101 thousand) in China in 2015, and 83.5% of total DALYs from IHD occurred among people aged over 50 years old. Province with highest age-standardized death rate was Heilongjiang, with rate at 187.4 per 100 000 in 2015. Qinghai (54.0%) increased most and Macao (-52.3%) decreased most from 1990 to 2015. Province with highest age-standardized DALY rate was Xinjiang, with rate at 3 040.8 per 100 000 in 2015. Qinghai (33.2%) increased most while Macao (-59.0%) decreased most between 1990 and 2015.
Conclusion
Burden of IHD in China increased remarkably from 1990 to 2015, especially among males and people aged over 50 years old. The differences among provinces were obvious.

At present, four operating modes have been explored for physical-medical integration in China: hospital health guidance center, sports club health guidance, community health monitoring center and industry-university-research cooperation on the integration of physical and medical services. However, physical-medical integration is still in its infancy, the cultivation of physical-medical integration talents has been a key to the deep development of "physical-medical integration". The researches show that the current training mode of integrative talents mainly focuses on on-the-job training, which is faced with many problems such as serious shortage of specialized talents, imperfect certification system and single talent training mode. It is suggested that the training system, the curriculum system, the public opinion system and the professional standards should be improved so as to realize the scientific and sustainable development of physical-medical talents.

Objective To investigate the effects of force on mechanical stability of FLNa-Ig21/αⅡbβ3-CT complex and the regulation mechanism.Methods The FLNa-Ig21/αⅡbβ3-CT crystal structures were taken from the PDB database.The stability of the complexes in a physiological environment as well as the unfolding path and mechanical stability induced by mechanical forces were analyzed using equilibrium and steered molecular dynamics simulations.Results During the equilibration,the survival rate of most salt bridge and hydrogen bonds was below 0.5,and the interactions between FLNa-Ig21 and αⅡbβ3-CT was relatively weak.During stretching at a constant velocity,the complex could withstand a tensile force of 70-380 pN,and its mechanical strength depended on the force-induced dissociation path.Under a constant force of 0-60 pN,the complexes exhibited a slipping-bond trend,and the force increase facilitated the breakage of the R995-D723 salt bridge and the activation of αⅡbβ3 integrin.Conclusions The force-induced allostery of αⅡbβ3-MP enhanced the complex mechanical strength and delayed FLNa-Ig21 dissociation from αⅡbβ3-CT.After breaking through the 20 pN threshold,force positively regulated the activation of αⅡbβ3 integrin.These results provide insights into the molecular mechanism of αⅡbβ3 activation and the development of related targeted drugs.
