Objective:To evaluate the cumulative relationship between individual cardiometabolic diseases(CMDs)and the incidence of cataract in the elderly.Methods:This study was a prospective cohort study based on the UK Biobank, including 165 222 participants without cataract at baseline, aged 60.0 to 74.0 years, with an average age of(64.9±2.9)years, including 76 712 males(46.4%)and 88 510 females(53.6%). The exposure in this study was CMDs(including coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and hypertension), and the outcome was the incidence of cataract.The Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the cumulative hazard ratio( HR)and 95% confidence interval( CI)of the number of CMDs and cataract occurrence in the elderly. Results:After a median follow-up of 13.65 years, 35, 933 cataract events were observed.After adjusting for various factors, the HRs of cataract incidence in elderly patients with 1, 2, and 3 or more CMDs compared with those without CMDs were 1.11( HR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.08~1.14, P<0.001), 1.38( HR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.33~1.43, P<0.001), and 1.80( HR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.68-1.93, P<0.001), respectively.There was a significant dose-cumulative effect between the number of CMDs and the risk of cataract( HR=1.17, 95% CI: 1.15~1.19, P<0.001). Conclusions:The coexistence of CMDs in the elderly is an important risk factor for cataract development, and the risk of cataract increases in a dose-cumulative manner with the increase in the number of CMDs, suggesting that emphasizing health management of CMDs in the elderly population may help reduce the incidence of cataract.

Hepatoma is one of the most common malignant tumors of digestive system worldwide, and a main factor leading to cancer-related deaths. Its incidence is increasing year by year, posing a serious threat to human health. Currently, hepatoma is mainly treated by surgical resection, liver transplantation, radiation and drugs, but there are certain adverse reactions and problems of high recurrence rate and low survival rate. Chinese medicine has unique advantages in improving the comprehensive curative effect of hepatoma and reducing adverse reactions. With a variety of active ingredients, Chinese medicine can induce hepatoma cell apoptosis, inhibit the proliferation, migration and reverse multidrug resistance through multiple targets, thus exerting anti-hepatoma effect. It has become an important means for the prevention and treatment of hepatoma as well as a rich resource for anti-hepatoma drug research and development. Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, one of the most classical pathways in cancer, is involved in tumor cell proliferation, cell cycle, migration, invasion and tumor angiogenesis. Recently, many studies have reported that the active ingredients of Chinese medicine can play an anti-hepatoma role through this pathway. Therefore, this paper summarized the domestic and foreign literature in recent years, analyzed the relationship between wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and the specific mechanism of hepatoma occurrence and development, and combed the literature on the effect of flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, polysaccharides and other active ingredients of Chinese medicine on inducing hepatoma cell apoptosis, regulating cell cycle and inhibiting the invasion and metastasis through Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In addition, the paper summarized the research progress of relevant active ingredients of Chinese medicine against hepatoma, to explore their specific mechanism against hepatoma through Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, so as to provide theoretical reference for further development of anti-hepatoma drugs.

Background:
Microsporum canis is a zoonotic disease that can cause dermatophytosis in animals and humans.
Objectives:
In clinical practice, ketoconazole (KTZ) and other imidazole drugs are commonly used to treat M. canis infection, but its molecular mechanism is not completely understood.The antifungal mechanism of KTZ needs to be studied in detail.
Methods:
In this study, one strain of fungi was isolated from a canine suffering with clinical dermatosis and confirmed as M. canis by morphological observation and sequencing analysis.The clinically isolated M. canis was treated with KTZ and transcriptome sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed genes in M. canis exposed to KTZ compared with those unexposed thereto.
Results:
At half-inhibitory concentration (½MIC), compared with the control group, 453 genes were significantly up-regulated and 326 genes were significantly down-regulated (p < 0.05). Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis verified the transcriptome results of RNA sequencing. Gene ontology enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis revealed that the 3 pathways of RNA polymerase, steroid biosynthesis, and ribosome biogenesis in eukaryotes are closely related to the antifungal mechanism of KTZ.
Conclusions
The results indicated that KTZ may change cell membrane permeability, destroy the cell wall, and inhibit mitosis and transcriptional regulation through CYP51, SQL, ERG6, ATM, ABCB1, SC, KER33, RPA1, and RNP genes in the 3 pathways. This study provides a new theoretical basis for the effective control of M. canis infection and the effect of KTZ on fungi.

Objective:To explore the effect of follow-up information platform combined with full-course health education on compliance and cardiac function in patients with chronic heart failure.Methods:A total of 150 patients with chronic heart failure treated in He′nan People′s Hospital between November 2018 and November 2019 were selected for study. Patients were divided into observation group and control group by random number table method, and each group had 75 cases. The control group received routine health education intervention, and the observation group implemented follow-up information platform combined with full-course health education intervention. The intervention time was 6 months, and then the compliance behavior, cardiac function and quality of life of the two groups of patients were compared.Results:The overall compliance rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( Z value was -5.634, P<0.01), and the total compliance rate of the observation group was 92.00% (69/75), which was significantly higher than 74.67% (56/75) of the control group ( χ2 value was 8.112, P<0.01). After the intervention, both the 6-minute walking test and the left ventricular ejection fraction in the observation group were (482.75±81.45) m, (48.34±6.10)%], which were significantly higher than (406.92±68.20) m, (39.61±5.73) % of the control group ( t values were 6.182, 9.034, P<0.01). After the intervention, the physical limitation, psychological mood, disease symptoms, and social relationship scores of the observation group patients were (11.00±1.58), (10.06±1.55), (6.06±1.29), and (5.09± 1.14) points, which were significantly lower than (17.15±1.90), (11.79±1.55), (9.52±1.23), and (8.09±1.02) points of the control group ( t values were 6.835-21.533, P<0.01). Conclusion:Compared with conventional health education, the whole course of health education combined with the follow-up information platform is beneficial to improve the compliance rate, quality of life and cardiac function of patients with chronic heart failure.
