Objective:
To investigate the mortality of malignant tumors, diabetes, cardio-cerebrovascular diseases and chronic respiratory diseases and trends in probability of premature mortality due to these four chronic diseases in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province from 2012 to 2021, so as to provide the evidence for perfecting the chronic disease control strategy.
Methods:
The mortality of malignant tumors, diabetes, cardio-cerebrovascular diseases and chronic respiratory diseases among household registered residents in Jiangmen City from 2012 to 2021 were collected from the Guangdong Provincial Population Death Information Registration Management System, and the crude mortality, standardized mortality by the population of the Fifth National Population Census in China in 2000 and probability of premature mortality were calculated. The trends in mortality and probability of premature mortality were analyzed using average annual percent change (AAPC), and whether achieving the targets for the probability of premature mortality due to four chronic diseases in 2025 and 2030 were evaluated.
Results:
A total of 226 012 deaths occurred due to four chronic diseases in Jiangmen City from 2012 to 2021, and the overall crude mortality and standardized mortality rates were 569.22/105 and 283.29/105, with a reduction in the probability of premature mortality from 15.04% to 12.05% (AAPC=-2.403%, Z=-7.603, P<0.001). The probability of premature mortality due to four chronic diseases decreased from 19.21% to 16.38% in males, and from 10.42% to 7.58% in females (AAPC=-1.893% and -3.085%, Z=-5.262 and -9.811, both P<0.001). The probability of premature mortality due to diabetes appeared a tendency towards a rise (AAPC=2.317%, Z=2.548, P=0.034), and the probability of premature mortality due to cardio-cerebrovascular diseases showed a tendency towards a decline (AAPC=-4.826%, Z=-13.590, P<0.001), while no significant changing trend was seen in the probability of premature mortality due to malignant tumors or chronic respiratory diseases (AAPC=-0.751% and -2.461%, Z=-1.532 and -1.730, P=0.125 and 0.122). The predicted probability of premature mortality due to four chronic diseases was 10.92% in 2025 and 9.66% in 2030 in Jiangmen City, which were both lower than the target (11.21% and 9.81%).
Conclusions
The probability of premature mortality due to four chronic diseases appeared a tendency towards a decline in Jiangmen City from 2012 to 2021, which can reach the target in 2025 and 2030. Males should be given a high priority for interventions of chronic diseases, and diabetes control should be reinforced.

Background Retinal microvascular pericytes (RMPs) have been played increasing attention as an emerging key in pathogenesis of various retinal angiogenic diseases including diabetic retinopathy,and RMPs are thought to be a potential target for treatment.Yet the study has been hindered by the difficulty of obtaining source of tissue and isolating pure population.Objective This study was to establish a simple method of isolation,purification and cultivation of primary RMPs for rat.Methods Eyeballs were extracted from clean male Sprague Dawley rats and immersed by 75% alcohol for 1 minute.The retinas were isolated and mechanical morcel.Trypsin (2.5 g/L) was firstly used and followed by type Ⅰ collagenase (2 g/L) for the digestion of the retina for 15 minutes,respectively.Retinal microvascular fragments were screened by 100 μm and 55 μm filter screen.DMEM containing 20% fetal bovine serum was added for the cultivation and passaged of the cells.The cells were purified by exchanging medium and partial enzymatic digestion.The morphology and growth status were monitored under the phase contrast microscope,and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFR-β),yon Willebrand factor (vWF),glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibodies were used for the identification of RMPs.Results RMPs migrated out of fragments after 24-48 hours of plating.On day 7,RMPs appeared in primary cultures as loose colonies.The cells reached confluence to about 80%-90% on day 14-16.The subcultures grew faster than the primary and reached confluence on day 12-14.The culture showed typical morphology of pericyte with large irregular triangular cell body and multiple long processes,and they could be repeatedly passaged 9 times without obvious loss of characteristic phenotype.Fluorescence assay exhibited that 96% of the cells showed positive immunofluorescence for α-SMA and PDGFR-β,confirming the purity of RMPs in culture.However,only a few of them were positive for GFAP and the cells response for vWF was absent.Conclusions High purity of rat RMPs can be obtained easily by our method without high cost-consuming.Hcrc wc cstablished a simple mcthod for the primary culture of rat RMPs.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and adverse effect of valproic acid (VPA) in combination with low dose chemotherapy on intermediate and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. Methods A total of 41 patients with intermediate (34) and high-risk (7) myelodysplastic syndrome were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 19 patients received low dose chemotherapy regimen and 22 received low dose chemotherapy plus VPA.Low dose chemotherapy regimen included: homoharringtonine,1-2 mg·m-2·d-1 intravenously,14-28 d; clarubicin,5-7 mg·m-2·-1 intravenously,1-8 d,15-23 d;cytarabine 15 mg/m2 subcutaneously once every 12 h, 14-21 d; and subcutaneously use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor 200 μg·m-2·d -1 when neutrophil deficiency.The outcome and adverse effect were recorded after the treatment. Results The overall response rate in the low dose chemotherapy regimen group was 47.4% (9/19), 6 patients (31.6%) achieved complete response (CR). The overall response rate in the VPA group was 77.2% (17/22), 9 patients (40.9%) achieved CR. The overall response rate of the low dose chemotherapy in combination with VPA group was significantly higher than that in the low dose chemotherapy group (P<0.05) while no difference was found in CR rate. The adverse effect of the low dose chemotherapy in combination with VPA regimen was tolerated. Conclusion With acceptable adverse effect, the low dose chemotherapy in combination with VPA regimen is effective for the treatment of intermediate and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. Long-term outcome needs further investigation.

Objective: To evaluate the elastic modulus of Beagle's periodontal ligament(PDL) by means of nanoindentation, and to help build constitutive model of PDL precisely. Methods: 24 cross sections were obtained from the tooth root of lower first molars of beagle dog. With nanoindentation, intrusion and unloading to PDL sites on different planes of long axial and in different directions on the same plane of tooth root were achieved, and the load-displacement curves were obtained, from which the elastic modulus was calculated and analyzed. Results: The elastic modulus of the beagle's periodontal ligament varied from 0. 452-1. 542 Mpa. There was no significant difference in elastic modulus of the beagle's lower first premolar PDL in relation to different planes of long axial, while significant difference was found in different directions (buccal/lingual sides and mesial/distal sides) on the same plane of tooth root(P< 0. 05). Conclusion: There was a difference in the elastic modulus of periodontal ligament in buccal/lingual sides and mesial/distal sides of the same tooth root.

Objective? To understand the self-management status among elderly chronic heart failure (CHF) patients and to compare the regional differences of self-management. Methods? By random cluster sampling, we investigated 6 124 elderly CHF patients from 102 hospitals in five regions, East China (Jiangxi Province, Shanghai Municipality, Zhejiang Province), West China (Qinghai Province, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Shaanxi Province, Gansu Province, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Yunnan Province), South China (Hainan Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region), North China (Heilongjiang Province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), Central China (Henan Province, Hubei Province, Hunan Province). The investigation result statistics were carried out and regional differences were compared. Results? The self-management of elderly CHF patients had a low to medium level with 61.25% (49/80) <80% for the scoring rate. The scores of East China and Central China were higher and the score of West China was low; the regional differences were statistical (H=59.07, P<0.01). The score of diet management was highest with 66.67% for the scoring rate (8/12); East China had the highest score, and West China had the lowest score; the regional differences were statistical (H=92.49, P<0.01). The scoring rate of medication management was 65.00% (13/20) with the highest in East China and low in North China and West China; the regional differences were statistical (H=351.10, P<0.01). Mental/social adjustment management was poor with 60.00% (12/20) for the scoring rate; the scores of Ease China were higher than those of North and West China; the regional differences were statistical (H=8.84, P<0.01). Symptom management was the worst with 57.14% (16/28) for the scoring rate; the scores of East and Central China were high;the regional differences were also statistical (H=17.62,P<0.01). Conclusions? Self-management of elderly CHF patients needs to be improved. Systematic and targeted health education for different regions should be carried out to improve patients' self-management and to reduce the disease burden.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of lower extremity three dimensional CT venography (CTV) and lower extremity ascending phlebography in evaluating recurrent varicose veins.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 235 patients with unilateral recurrent varicose veins who were treated at the Department of Vascular Surgery,Beijing Shijitan Hospital,Capital Medical University, between January 2015 and December 2020.There were 112 males and 123 females, with an age of (62.5±11.4)years (range:24 to 75 years).Patients were stratified into two groups based on preoperative imaging examination:the CTV group (utilizing lower extremity venous ultrasound+lower extremity CTV) and the control group (employing lower extremity venous ultrasound+lower extremity ascending phlebography).The two groups were matched in a 1∶1 ratio using propensity score matching, resulting in 43 cases per group.Comparative analyses between the groups at the one-year postoperative follow-up were performed using independent sample t tests, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, χ2 tests, and linear regression analysis. Results:One year post-surgery,the CTV group exhibited a lower venous clinical severity score (VCSS) compared to the control group( M(IQR),3.0(4.3) vs.4.0(5.8), Z=-2.038, P=0.040).Additionally, the chronic venous insufficiency patients′ quality of life questionnaire (CIVIQ-20) scores were significantly higher in the CTV group than in the control group (89.0(8.0) vs.82.5(17.0), Z=-2.627, P=0.010).Patients in the CTV group also experienced a shorter ulcer healing time compared to the control group (4.0(4.0) weeks vs.12.0(7.0) weeks, Z=-3.217, P<0.01).Both groups showed no clinically symptomatic recurrent varicose veins or ulcers.However, they exhibited ultrasound-detectable varicose vein recurrence, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.453, P=0.500).The number of diseased vessels requiring management based on ultrasound supplemented by CTV was 16, while the number supplemented by ascending phlebography was 7,with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=4.800, P=0.030).Linear regression analysis demonstrated that clinical-etiology-anatomy-pathology clinical grading and the preoperative imaging examination method exerted independent influences on VCSS and CIVIQ-20 during the one-year postoperative assessment. Conclusions:CTV-assisted ultrasound enables a direct and comprehensive evaluation and localization of diseased veins in patients with recurrent varicose veins.The utilization of lower extremity vein ultrasound combined with CTV-guided management of lower extremity vessels in minimally invasive treatment significantly improves patient prognosis, surpassing the assessment provided by ascending phlebography.
