OBJECTIVES: To report the development, validation, and findings of the Multi-dimensional Attention Rating Scale (MARS), a self-report tool crafted to evaluate six-dimension attention levels. METHODS: The MARS was developed based on Classical Test Theory (CTT). Totally 202 highly educated healthy adult participants were recruited for reliability and validity tests. Reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha and test-retest reliability. Structural validity was explored using principal component analysis. Criterion validity was analyzed by correlating MARS scores with the Toronto Hospital Alertness Test (THAT), the Attentional Control Scale (ACS), and the Attention Network Test (ANT). RESULTS: The MARS comprises 12 items spanning six distinct dimensions of attention: focused attention, sustained attention, shifting attention, selective attention, divided attention, and response inhibition.As assessed by six experts, the content validation index (CVI) was 0.95, the Cronbach's alpha for the MARS was 0.78, and the test-retest reliability was 0.81. Four factors were identified (cumulative variance contribution rate 68.79%). The total score of MARS was correlated positively with THAT (r = 0.60, P < 0.01) and ACS (r = 0.78, P < 0.01) and negatively with ANT's reaction time for alerting (r = -0.31, P = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS The MARS can reliably and validly assess six-dimension attention levels in real-world settings and is expected to be a new tool for assessing multi-dimensional attention impairments in different mental disorders.

Objective:To explore the impact of National Metabolic Management Center (MMC) mode on the metabolic indexes in different age patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM).Methods:A prospective study method was used. A total of 798 T2DM patients underwent the MMC mode management in Shanghai Punan Hospital of Pudong New District from May 2021 to August 2024 were selected. The patients followed the MMC one-stop diagnosis and treatment management service standards to enter the registration, treatment, examination and follow-up processes. The average follow-up time was 12.0 months. The glucose and lipid metabolism indexes, blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) before intervention and after receiving the intervention by MMC were measured. The glucose and lipid metabolism indexes included triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin. The control rates of blood glucose, blood lipid, blood pressure and BMI were calculated after intervention.Results:The triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, LDL-C, fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin after intervention in patients with T2DM were significantly lower than those before intervention: (1.75 ± 1.63) mmol/L vs. (2.08 ± 1.74) mmol/L, (4.37 ± 1.11) mmol/L vs. (4.88 ± 1.24) mmol/L, (2.47 ± 0.92) mmol/L vs. (2.92 ± 0.98) mmol/L, (6.54 ± 1.71) mmol/L vs. (8.12 ± 3.05) mmol/L, (9.04 ± 3.49) mmol/L vs. (12.10 ± 5.28) mmol/L and (6.89 ± 1.23)% vs. (8.85 ± 2.31)%, the HDL-C after intervention was significantly higher than that before intervention: (1.21 ± 0.31) mmol/L vs. (1.13 ± 0.29) mmol/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The control rates of blood lipid and blood glucose after intervention in patients with T2DM were significantly higher than those before intervention: 54.6% (436/798) vs. 37.3% (298/798) and 62.0% (495/798) vs. 26.1% (208/798), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); there were no statistical differences in the control rates of BMI and blood pressure before intervention and after intervention ( P>0.05). In T2DM patients with age <50 years and from 50 to 59 years, the triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, LDL-C, fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin after intervention were significantly lower than those before intervention, the HDL-C after intervention was significantly higher than that before intervention, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or <0.01); the control rates of blood lipid and blood glucose after intervention were significantly higher than those before intervention, the patients with <50 years: 44.5% (114/256) vs. 27.7% (71/256) and 76.6% (196/256) vs. 28.9% (74/256), the patients with 50 to 59 years: 54.8% (86/157) vs. 28.0% (44/157) and 66.9% (105/157) vs. 24.8% (39/157), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); there were no statistical differences in the control rates of BMI and blood pressure between before intervention and after intervention ( P>0.05). In T2DM patients with age from 60 to 69 years, the triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, LDL-C, fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin after intervention were significantly lower than those before intervention, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or <0.01); there was no statistical differences in HDL-C before intervention and after intervention ( P>0.05); the control rates of blood lipid and blood glucose after intervention were significantly higher than those before intervention: 59.0% (177/300) vs. 47.3% (142/300) and 53.3% (160/300) vs. 25.7% (77/300), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); there were no statistical differences in the control rates of BMI and blood pressure before intervention and after intervention ( P>0.05). In T2DM patients with aged ≥70 years, the total cholesterol, LDL-C, 2 h postprandial blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin after intervention were significantly lower than those before intervention, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or <0.01); there were no statistical difference in triacylglycerol, HDL-C and fasting blood glucose between before intervention and after intervention ( P>0.05); the control rate of blood glucose after intervention was significantly higher than that before intervention: 48.2% (41/85) vs. 22.4% (19/85), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.01); there were no statistical differences in the control rates of BMI, blood pressure and blood lipid between before intervention and after intervention ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The intervention based on MMC mode management could effectively improve the glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with T2DM, especially for patients with aged <70 years. However, additional health guidance is needed for patients with aged ≥ 70 years to further enhance their health benefits.

Objective To investigate necroptosis-related diagnostic biomarkers of bronchopulmo-nary dysplasia(BPD)and their relationships with the immune microenvironment through the analysis of necroptosis-related genes(NRGs)in BPD.Methods The dataset GSE32472 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database,and NRGs were obtained from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway and Gene Cards databases.Differentially expressed necroptosis-related genes(DE-NRGs)were screened,and their biological functions and pathways were explored through functional enrichment analysis.Machine learning algorithms,inclu-ding least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination(SVM-RFE),were applied to screen feature genes.The Cell-type Ⅰdentification By Estimating Relative Subsets of RNA Transcripts(CIBERSORT)algorithm and the Estimation of Stromal and Immune Cells in Malignant Tumor Tissues using Expression Data(ESTIMATE)algo-rithm were used to explore the immune infiltration characteristics of BPD.Spearman correlation anal-ysis between feature genes and immune cells was performed using the"corrplot"package in R lan-guage.Results A total of 19 DE-NRGs were identified.The main biological functions and path-ways of DE-NRGs included the regulation of necroptosis and inflammatory responses.Three feature genes,namely flotillin-2(FLOT2),CASP8 and FADD-like apoptosis regulators(CFLAR),and charged multivesicular body protein 7(CHMP7),were further screened to construct a nomogram.In the validation sets GSE8586 and GSE188944,the area under the curve(AUC)values were all greater than 0.7.CIBERSORT analysis revealed that BPD group presented a higher proportion of naive B cells,neutrophils,eosinophils and resting mast cells compared to control group(P＜0.05).Meanwhile,the proportion of CD8+T cells,CD4+naive T cells,CD4+resting memory T cells,regulatory T cells,resting natural killer(NK)cells,M0 macrophages,M2 macrophages and activated dendritic cells was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).ESTIMATE analysis showed that the stromal score in the BPD group was higher than that in the control group,while the immune score was lower,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Correlation analysis between the three feature genes and ESTIMATE scores indicated that FLOT2 and CFLAR were posi-tively correlated with the stromal score and negatively correlated with the immune score,whereas CHMP7 was positively correlated with the immune score and negatively correlated with the stromal score.Conclusion The three necroptosis-related feature genes can serve as diagnostic biomarkers for BPD-related necroptosis,with high diagnostic efficacy.They may play an important roles through immune mechanisms,providing new insights and theoretical references for the early diagnosis and immune intervention of BPD.
