To investigate the prevalence and associated factors of fall risk among Chinese older adults, and to examine the roles of urban-rural differences, regional disparities, physical health status, and psychosocial factors in falls among this population, thereby providing evidence for tailored fall prevention strategies. Using data from the 2024 National Routine Physical Fitness Surveillance, a multi-stage stratified sampling method was employed to recruit community-dwelling older adults aged 60-79 years across China. High fall-risk individuals were identified using the Chinese version of the self-rated fall risk questionnaire, while demographic, physical health, and psychological indicators were collected via questionnaires and objective measurements. A generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) with province as a random effect was used to analyze fall risk factors. Among 7000 eligible participants (male: 44.2%, female: 55.8%), the sample comprised 2124 (60-64 years), 2014 (65-69 years), 1660 (70-74 years), and 1202 (75-79 years) individuals, with 58.4% from rural and 41.6% from urban areas. A total of 733(10.5%) were identified as high fall-risk, with higher prevalence among females (10.9%), urban residents (11.5%), and the oldest age group (75-79 years: 12.4%). GLMM random-intercept logistic regression revealed that advanced age ( The prevalence of high fall risk among Chinese community-dwelling older adults aged 60-79 years is 10.5%. Fall risk demonstrates significant associations with multiple factors including muscle strength, movement patterns, sleep quality, and social support. Strategies enhancing grip strength, promoting regular exercise and high-intensity leisure activities, improving sleep quality, fostering spousal support, and boosting life satisfaction may substantially reduce fall risk in this population.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect and mechanism of embryonic intervention with Zuogui pill on the glucose tolerance in offsprings of pregnant rats with gestational diabetes mellitus. METHODS Pregnant rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, positive control group (insulin glargine), Zuogui pill low-, medium- and high-dose groups (4.725, 9.45, 18.9 g/kg). In addition to the blank group, streptozotocin was injected intraperitoneally to establish a gestational diabetes mellitus rat model. From day 6 to day 18 of pregnancy, each group was given relevant medicine and distilled water intragastrically, once a day. After 21 days of birth, the body weight and body length of offsprings were recorded, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated through a glucose tolerance test. After 22 days of birth, fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS) levels in serum, insulin sensitivity index (ISI), and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were measured, and the morphological structure of pancreatic tissue was observed. The protein spectrum of pancreatic tissue was analyzed by tandem mass tag-based proteomics, and protein and mRNA expression levels of apolipoprotein A1(ApoA1), solute carrier family 27 member 1 (Slc27a1), kininogen 1(Kng1) and sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit alpha 2 (Atp1a2), solute carrier family 7 member 5 (Slc7a5), solute carrier family 3 member 2 (Slc3a2), bile acid-coenzyme A: amino acid N- acyltransferase (Baat), eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit gamma (Eif2s3) were detected. RESULTS Compared with the model group, the body weight, body length and ISI of offsprings in the positive control group and Zuogui pill medium-dose group were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the glucose tolerance and islet cell proliferation were significantly improved, and the AUC, FBG, FINS and HOMA-IR were significantly decreased (P<0.05). There were 88 potential target proteins for the embryonic intervention of Zuogui pill in offsprings of pregnant rats with gestational diabetes mellitus,involving multiple pathways such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), cyclic guanosine monophosphate-protein kinase G (cGMP-PKG), fat digestion and absorption, and bile secretion. The proteins closely related to glucose metabolism and insulin resistance mainly included ApoA1, Slc27a1, Kng1, Atp1a2, Slc7a5, Slc3a2, Baat, and Eif2s3. Among them, compared with the model group, protein and mRNA expressions of Slc7a5, Slc3a2, and Baat in the pancreatic tissues of pregnant rat offsprings in the Zuogui pill medium-dose group were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05); protein and mRNA expressions of ApoA1, Slc27a1, Kng1, Atp1a2 and Eif2s3 were all significantly down-regulated (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The intervention of Zuogui pill in the embryonic period on offsprings of pregnant rats with gestational diabetes mellitus can improve their blood glucose levels and pancreatic pathological morphology. The mechanism may be related to the upregulation of the expressions of Slc7a5, Slc3a2, and Baat and the down-regulation of ApoA1, Slc27a1, Kng1, Atp1a2 and Eif2s3 expressions in the PPAR, cGMP-PKG, fat digestion and absorption, and bile secretion pathways.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and prognostic survival of pembrolizumab combined with apatinib and chemotherapy in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative advanced gastric cancer.Methods:Patients with HER2-negative advanced gastric cancer were selected from December 2019 to December 2022 as the study subjects. Forty-five patients who received chemotherapy therapy (fluorouracil+cisplatin) were randomly collected and included in control group, and 52 patients who were treated with pembrolizumab combined with apatinib were randomly selected and enrolled as observation group. The difference in short-term efficacy was compared. The levels of serum tumor markers and immune function (CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +, CD4 +/CD8 +) were recorded. The long-term efficacy and adverse reactions of patients were compared. Measurement data conforming to the normal distribution were expressed as xˉ± s, and the mean comparison between groups was performed by independent sample t test. Chi-square test was used to compare the rate or composition ratio among enumeration data. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:At 6 months after treatment, the disease control rate in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (78.85% (41/52) vs 57.78% (26/45)) ( χ2=5.01, P=0.025), but there was no statistical significance in objective response rate between groups (36.54% (19/52) vs 24.45% (11/45)) ( χ2=1.65, P=0.199). The levels of pepsinogen I, tissue polypeptide specific antigen, carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 199 and CD8 + in both groups were reduced after treatment, and the levels were lower in observation group than those in control group ( t=6.06, 6.78, 4.68, 11.21, 3.45, all P<0.001). The levels of CD3 +, CD4 + and CD4 +/CD8 + were enhanced significantly in the two groups, and the observation group had higher levels after treatment ( t values were 2.10, 3.74, and 5.19; P values were 0.028, <0.001, and <0.001). After 1 year of follow-up, the survival rate in observation group with 59.62% (31/52) was significantly higher than 37.78% (17/45) in control group ( χ2=4.60, P=0.032). The progression-free survival time ((10.22±1.62) months vs (8.13±1.57) months, t=6.43, P<0.001) and overall survival time ((11.62±1.84) months vs (9.73±1.71) months, t=5.21, P<0.001) in observation group were significantly longer compared to control group. There were no statistical differences in the incidence rates of bone marrow suppression ( χ2=1.92, P=0.165), hand-foot syndrome ( χ2=3.47, P=0.062), gastrointestinal reaction ( χ2=0.32, P=0.574), hypertension ( χ2=0.94, P=0.333) and proteinuria ( χ2=2.39, P=0.122) between the two groups. Conclusion:Compared with chemotherapy, pembrolizumab combined with apatinib shows good short-term efficacy and long-term efficacy in patients with HER2-negative advanced gastric cancer.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of super-thin free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap at the junction plane of superficial and deep fat of superficial fascia to repair the soft tissue defects of the foot.Methods:The clinical data of patients with foot soft tissue defects admitted to Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University from June 2017 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. During the operation, the super-thin free ALT flap on the affected side was harvested at the junction of superficial and deep fat of superficial fascia to repair the foot wound. The donor site wound was sutured directly or repaired with full-thickness skin graft. The flap survival and complications were observed after the operation, and the operation effect was evaluated from the following five aspects. (1) The Maryland foot function score was used to evaluate the recovery of foot function. The full score was 100 points, of which 90-100 points were excellent, 75-89 points were good, 50-74 points were fair, and < 50 points were poor. (2) The Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used to evaluate the scar condition of the foot. The total score was 0-15 points. The higher the score, the more serious the scar. (3) The cold intolerance symptom severity (CISS) scale was used to evaluate the cold tolerance of the affected foot. The total score was 4-100 points. The higher the score, the more serious the symptoms. (4) Measuring static two-point discrimination to evaluate foot sensation, the smaller the measured value, the better the sensory recovery. (5) The satisfaction of patients with foot appearance was investigated, which was divided into five grades: very satisfied, satisfied, general, dissatisfied and very dissatisfied. Descriptive analysis of the data was performed using SPSS 26.0 software.Results:A total of 13 patients with foot soft tissue defects were enrolled, including 8 males and 5 females. The mean age was 54.7 years (range, 39-70 years). There were 10 cases of left foot and 3 cases of right foot. The wound area after thorough debridement ranged from 5.5 cm ×5.0 cm to 22.0 cm ×18.0 cm. The operation time was (145.1 ± 30.6) min. The area of the flap was 6.0 cm×5.5 cm to 23.5 cm×19.0 cm, and the thickness was (5.2 ± 1.1) mm (range, 3.0- 6.5 mm). The wound at the donor site was sutured directly in 9 cases, and coverd with the abdominal full-thickness skin graft in 4 cases. After the operation, 1 patient had partial epidermal necrosis at the distal end of the flap, 1 patient had venous crisis.The flaps survived after symptomatic treatment. The remaining 11 flaps survived smoothly. The patients were followed up for 12 to 20 months, with an average of 16 months. The foot flaps were soft and free of damage, and no secondary fat reduction or plastic surgery was required. There were no complications such as wound dehiscence, skin graft necrosis, muscle hernia, and quadriceps weakness in 13 cases of donor site except for hypoesthesia caused by scar hyperplasia in 4 cases with skin graft. At the last follow-up, the Maryland foot function score was (87.4±7.3) points, of which 7 cases were excellent, 4 cases were good, and 2 cases were fair. The excellent and good rate was 11/13. The foot scar was not obvious, the VSS score was (3.2±1.2) points. The foot was more tolerant to cold and the sensory recovery was better, the CISS score was (37.5±7.1) points and the static two-point discrimination was (13.9±1.0) mm. One month after the operation, the results of patients’ satisfaction with foot appearance were as follows: 11 cases were very satisfied and 2 cases were satisfied.Conclusion:The super-thin free ALT flap is obtained at the junction plane of superficial and deep fat of superficial fascia to repair the soft tissue defect of the foot, which can optimize the operation time. The appearance and function of the foot recover well after the operation, avoiding the secondary shaping operation, reducing the damage to the donor site, and the patients are satisfied.

Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI). WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 3 163 strains of Gram-positive pathogens were collected from 51 member units,and the top five bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus( n=1 147,36.3%),coagulase-negative Staphylococci( n=928,29.3%), Enterococcus faecalis( n=369,11.7%), Enterococcus faecium( n=296,9.4%)and alpha-hemolyticus Streptococci( n=192,6.1%). The detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci(MRCNS)were 26.4%(303/1 147)and 66.7%(619/928),respectively. No glycopeptide and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. The sensitivity rates of Staphylococcus aureus to cefpirome,rifampin,compound sulfamethoxazole,linezolid,minocycline and tigecycline were all >95.0%. Enterococcus faecium was more prevalent than Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin and teicoplanin were both 0.5%(2/369),and no vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was detected. The detection rate of MRSA in southern China was significantly lower than that in other regions( χ2=14.578, P=0.002),while the detection rate of MRCNS in northern China was significantly higher than that in other regions( χ2=15.195, P=0.002). The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in provincial hospitals were higher than those in municipal hospitals( χ2=13.519 and 12.136, P<0.001). The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in economically more advanced regions(per capita GDP≥92 059 Yuan in 2022)were higher than those in economically less advanced regions(per capita GDP<92 059 Yuan)( χ2=9.969 and 7.606, P=0.002和0.006). Conclusions:Among the Gram-positive pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China, Staphylococci is the most common while the MRSA incidence decreases continuously with time;the detection rate of Enterococcus faecium exceeds that of Enterococcus faecalis. The overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is still at a low level. The composition ratio of Gram-positive pathogens and resistant profiles varies slightly across regions of China,with the prevalence of MRSA and MRCNS being more pronounced in provincial hospitals and areas with a per capita GDP≥92 059 yuan.
