Objective To develop an overall health risk model and to evaluate its convergent validity and reliability.Methods Health examination results of 230 adults from a public institution were collected by using Chinese Health Risk Appraisal Questionnaire V1.0 (CHRAQ V1.0).An CHRAQ V1.0-based overall health risk model was then developed,which included 34 items.Kolmogorov-Smirnov was used to test normal distribution of the data.Pearson correlation coefficient and Spearman correlation coefficient were used to evaluate parallel validity of the model.Crane Bach coefficient,Spearman-Brown coefficient and test-retest reliability were calculated to evaluated the reliability of the model.Results In this study,212 valid questionnaires (92.17%) were received.The average score of the newly developed overall health risk model was 41.96 ± 9.69,and its kurtosis coefficient and coefficient of skewness were 2.105 and 0.862,respectively.In Kolmogorov-Smirnov,the data were normally distributed (Z =1.073,P =0.199).The correlation coefficient of positive rate of all objective examinations with model scores was 0.774 (P < 0.05).The Cronbach's alpha coefficient,Spearman-Brown coefficient and test-retest reliability of the model were 0.652,0.784 and 0.841,respectively (P < 0.05).Conclusion In this investigation,our newly developed overall health risk model shows good validity and reliability and application prospect in the field of health management.

Objective To understand the vital signs on admission time and traumatic classification of the inpatients injured in Lushan Earthquake ,and provide a basis evidence for handling major disasters and treating masses of injured patients .Methods The information of patients injured in Lushan Earthquake who were admitted in Chengdu Military General Hospital was collected by“No .1 Military Medical Project” hospital information system and self-edited “Questionnaire for Hospitalized Patients Injured in 4 .20 Lushan Earthquake” .The data of the vital signs on admission time and traumatic classification of these patients were analyzed by SPSS 16 .0 .Results A total of 65 civilian patients were admitted in this hospital .Among these patients ,there were 30 men (46 .15% )and 35 women(53 .85% );with mean age of(45 .74 ± 20 .96)years old .On admission time ,the abnormal rates of tempera-ture ,pulse ,respiratory rate ,systolic pressure ,diastolic pressure of these patients were 18 .46% ,6 .15% ,21 .54% ,12 .31% and 23 .08% ,respectively .48(73 .85% )patients had closed injury .Traumatic condition:8(12 .31% )patients in mild degree ,17(26 .15% ) patients in moderate degree ,32 patients(49 .23% )patients in severe degree and 8(12 .31% )patients in critical degree .The top 4 traumatic parts were as follows :33(50 .77% )patients got waist(abdomen)division and pelvis(perineum);31(47 .69% )patients got lower limb injuries;18(27 .69% )patients got chest and back injuries and 10(15 .38% )patients got facial injuries .There were 39 skin and soft tissue injuries ,counting for 60 .00% ,and 38 fractures ,counting for 58 .46% .Conclusion The epidemiological characteris-tics of earthquake injuries are founded by analyzing the vital signs on admission time and traumatic classification of the inpatients in-jured in Lushan earthquake ,which suggests attention of the relevant scholars and departments .

Antipsychotic medications are commonly used to treat schizophrenia,but they can have negative effects on lipid metabolism,leading to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases,reduced life expectancy,and difficulties with treatment adherence.The specific mechanisms by which antipsychotics disrupt lipid metabolism are not well understood.Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins(SREBPs)are important transcriptional factors that regulate lipid metabolism.Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9(PCSK9),a gene regulated by SREBPs,plays a critical role in controlling levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)and has become a focus of research on lipid-lowering drugs.Recent studies have shown that antipsychotic drugs can affect lipid metabolism through the SREBP/PCSK9 pathway.A deep understanding of the mechanism for this pathway in antipsychotic drug-related metabolic abnormalities will promote the prevention of lipid metabolism disorders in patients with schizophrenia and the development and application of new drugs.
