Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of lymphoma mortality and potential years of life lost among Wuhan residents, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of lymphoma. Methods Data on lymphoma deaths among residents in Wuhan from 2010 to 2019 were collected from the population-based Wuhan Mortality Surveillance System. Joinpoint regression model was used to evaluate the trends in age-standardized mortality rates and potential years of life lost due to lymphoma among the residents of different ages and genders. Potential years of life lost rate was used to assess the disease burden. Results There were 4 055 deaths (2481in male and 1 574 in female) from major kidney diseases in Wuhan residents between 2010 to 2019, with an age-standardized mortality rate of 5.11/100 000. The mortality rate of major kidney diseases showed an upward trend with increasing age. Between 2010 and 2019, the age-standardized mortality rates of the multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma were significantly increased (APC=6.924%, APC=1.407%, P<0.05), and the potential years of life lost rate of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in female were significantly increased (APC=7.935%,P<0.05). Conclusion From 2010 to 2019, the mortality rate of lymphoma among residents of Wuhan City shows an upward trend, especially for multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The disease burden of multiple myeloma shows an increasing trend in the female population, suggesting the need to take corresponding preventive and control measures.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of combined magnetic and electrical stimulation with an"intelligent exercise prescription"and novel matrix radiofrequency therapy in patients with pelvic organ prolapse(POP).Methods A total of 158 patients with POP who received treatment at the Gynecological Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Center of the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University between October 2022 and July 2025 were retrospectively enrolled and divided into an observation group(n=64)and a control group(n=94)based on their treatment plans.The control group underwent magnetic and electrical stimulation combined with an"intelligent exercise prescription"regimen.Specifically,patients received 10 sessions of electrical stimulation,5 sessions of magnetic stimulation,and performed 15~20 minutes of daily home exercise training guided by the"intelligent exercise prescription."The observation group received,in addition to the aforementioned treatments,four sessions of novel matrix radiofrequency therapy.Changes in the muscle strength grades of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ pelvic floor muscles,Glazer surface electromyography(EMG)values,and POP-Q staging were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results After treatment,both groups demonstrated significant improvements in type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ muscle fiber strength compared to baseline(all P<0.05),with the observation group showing greater improvement in type Ⅰ muscle fiber strength than the control group(P<0.05).The muscle potential values of the observation group during rapid contraction,tense contraction,and endurance contraction stages were markedly increased compared to pre-treatment levels.Moreover,the muscle potential values during the pre-resting stage were significantly reduced after treatment(P<0.05).In the observation group,POP-Q grades of the anterior vaginal wall,uterus,and posterior vaginal wall were all significantly lower post-treatment than pre-treatment(all P<0.05).However,no statistically significant differences were observed between the observation group and the control group in these parameters(P>0.05).Both groups exhibited relatively high compliance rates(both≥75.0%),with no significant difference between them(P>0.05).The treatment cost for the observation group was significantly higher than that for the control group(P<0.05).Conclusions The combination of magneto-electrical stimulation,an"intelligent exercise prescription,"and novel matrix radiofrequency therapy can significantly improve pelvic floor muscle strength and muscle potential values in the short term,compared to pre-treatment levels.This integrated approach also effectively alleviates the prolapse of the anterior vaginal wall,uterus,and posterior vaginal wall.Furthermore,the combination of magnetic and electrical stimulation,"intelligent exercise prescription,"and matrix radiofrequency therapy demonstrates superior efficacy in enhancing type Ⅰ pelvic floor muscle fiber strength when compared to the combination of magnetic and electrical stimulation with"intelligent exercise prescription"alone.However,this treatment protocol entails a relatively high economic burden,and its clinical application should be carefully evaluated in consideration of patients'functional needs and financial conditions.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of cervical length(CL)measured at 16-24 weeks of ges-tation for spontaneous preterm birth in twin pregnancies.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 1001 twin pregnancy cases,including 569 cases in the spontaneous preterm birth group and 432 cases in the term birth group.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with spon-taneous preterm birth.The predictive value of CL for spontaneous preterm birth was analyzed by the receiver op-erating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results:At 16-24 weeks of pregnancy,the CL in the spontaneous preterm birth group(3.460±0.866 cm)was significantly shorter than that in the term birth group(3.711±0.589 cm),and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.005).There were statistically significant differences in the cervical fun-neling and its morphology between the term birth group and the spontaneous preterm birth group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that monochorionicity(aOR 0.161,95% CI 0.074-0.351) and CL at 16-24 weeks of pregnancy(aOR 0.655,95% CI 0.496-0.864) were influencing factors for spontaneous preterm birth(P <0.05).ROC curve analysis indicated that a CL cutoff of 3.045 cm at 16-24 weeks of pregnancy predicted spontaneous preterm birth before 34 weeks,with a sensitivity of 90.2% ,specificity of 64.9% ,and an area under the curve of 0.650.Conclusions:Measurement of CL at 16-24 weeks of pregnancy is a potential predictor of spontaneous preterm birth in twin pregnancies.In addition,when establishing a prediction model for spontaneous preterm birth,future research should also consider cervical funnel morphology.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors associated with future exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have no history of exacerbation in the past year.Methods:COPD patients with no exacerbation history in the past year, registered in the RealDTC study from January 2018 to December 2023, were enrolled. Demographic data, COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores, modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea questionnaire scores, forced expiratory volume in the first second predicted of percentage (FEV 1%pred), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1) to forced vital capacity (FVC), Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) classification, GOLD groups, and inhaled medication regimens were collected. All patients were followed up for one year, and the number of exacerbations was recorded. Patients were divided into an exacerbation group and a non-exacerbation group based on the occurrence of exacerbations during the follow-up period. Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the influencing factors for exacerbations in COPD patients. Results:A total of 2 901 COPD patients were included, among which 633 patients (21.8%) experienced exacerbations during the follow-up period. Compared with the non-exacerbation group, patients in the exacerbation group were older, with higher CAT and mMRC scores, lower body mass index (BMI), FEV 1%pred, and FEV 1/FVC. The proportions of patients with high school education or above and those using long-acting β 2-agonist (LABA) + long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) medications were also lower (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=1.010, 95% CI: 1.000-1.021), CAT score ≥20 ( OR=1.415, 95% CI: 1.074-1.865), education level of junior high school or below ( OR=1.243, 95% CI: 1.003-1.540), LABA + LAMA inhalation ( OR=0.605, 95% CI: 0.432-0.848), and BMI ( OR=0.969, 95% CI: 0.943-0.995) were independent risk factors for future exacerbations in COPD patients with no exacerbation history in the past year (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The risk of future exacerbations remains high in COPD patients with no exacerbation history in the past year. High CAT scores, low education levels, and low BMI are associated with future exacerbations. Clinicians should pay close attention to the management of such patients and implement appropriate interventions.
