Objective To analyze the prevalence status of cardiometabolic risk factor (CMRF) and its aggregation among workers engaged in new forms of employment. Methods A total of 5 429 new employment workers (including couriers, online food delivery workers, and ride hailing drivers) who underwent health medical examinations at a tertiary hospital in Beijing City were selected as the research subjects using the judgment sampling method. Data on waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipid levels were collected to analyze their CMRF [central obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, elevated triglycerides, and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] and their aggregation (with ≥ 2 of the above 5 risk factors) status. Results The detection rates of central obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, elevated triglycerides, and reduced HDL-C were 61.2%, 38.2%, 29.5%, 40.9% and 22.6%, respectively. The detection rates of CMRF aggregation was 57.8%. The result of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that male, age ≥45 years, smoking, overweight, and obesity were risk factors for CMRF aggregation (all P<0.05). Conclusion The detection rate of CMRF and its aggregation among workers with new forms of employment in Beijing City is relatively high. Targeted prevention and control efforts should be strengthened for high-risk populations, especially males, workers aged ≥45 years, smokers, and those who are overweight or obese.

ObjectiveThe nucleolar protein PES1 (Pescadillo homolog 1) plays critical roles in ribosome biogenesis and cell cycle regulation, yet its involvement in cellular senescence remains poorly understood. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the functional consequences of PES1 suppression in cellular senescence and elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying its regulatory role. MethodsInitially, we assessed PES1 expression patterns in two distinct senescence models: replicative senescent mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and doxorubicin-induced senescent human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. Subsequently, PES1 expression was specifically downregulated using siRNA-mediated knockdown in these cell lines as well as additional relevant cell types. Cellular proliferation and senescence were assessed by EdU incorporation and SA-β-gal staining assays, respectively. The expression of senescence-associated proteins (p53, p21, and Rb) and SASP factors (IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-8) were analyzed by Western blot or qPCR. Furthermore, Northern blot and immunofluorescence were employed to evaluate pre-rRNA processing and nucleolar morphology. ResultsPES1 expression was significantly downregulated in senescent MEFs and HepG2 cells. PES1 knockdown resulted in decreased EdU-positive cells and increased SA‑β‑gal-positive cells, indicating proliferation inhibition and senescence induction. Mechanistically, PES1 suppression activated the p53-p21 pathway without affecting Rb expression, while upregulating IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-8 production. Notably, PES1 depletion impaired pre-rRNA maturation and induced nucleolar stress, as evidenced by aberrant nucleolar morphology. ConclusionOur findings demonstrate that PES1 deficiency triggers nucleolar stress and promotes p53-dependent (but Rb-independent) cellular senescence, highlighting its crucial role in maintaining nucleolar homeostasis and regulating senescence-associated pathways.

Objective To systematically review the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab and apatinib in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer.Methods PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Cochrane Library,CNKI,and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect clinical studies of carelizumab combined with apatinib(combination group)or it vs.carelizumab alone(single group)in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer from inception to June 14,2024.Two reviewers independently screened the literature,extracted data,and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies.Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.4.1 and STATA 15 softwares.Results A total of 6 studies were included,1 randomized controlled trial,2 cohort studies,and 3 single-arm trials,involving 366 patients.The results of the Meta-analysis indicated that the objective response rate(ORR)(OR=2.77,95％CI 1.60 to 4.81,P＜0.001),and disease control rate(DCR)(OR=2.27,95％CI 1.34 to 3.85,P=0.002)in the combination group were significantly higher than those of the single group.The results of the single-arm trial showed that after the treatment of camrelizumab combined with apatinib,the ORR and DCR of the patients were 28％(95％CI 0.04 to 0.52)and 65％(95％CI 0.37 to 0.92),respectively.The overall progression-free survival of the patients after the combined treatment was 5.66 months(95％CI 3.78 to 8.48).The incidences of leukopenia(OR=1.45,95％CI 0.50 to 4.17,P=0.49),rash(OR=1.11,95％CI 0.35 to 3.49,P=0.86),nausea and vomiting(OR=1.28,95％CI 0.36 to 4.61,P=0.70)were not statistically significantly between the combination group and the single group.Conclusion Current evidence shows that carilizumab combined with apatinib has synergistic efficacy in treating triple-negative breast cancer,improves cellular immune function,and has a controllable safety profile.Due to the limitations of the number and quality of studies included,the above conclusion still needs to be verified by more high-quality studies.

To explore the method of constructing the first-class undergraduate course of Treatise on Febrile Diseases. The undergraduates majoring in traditional Chinese medicine were selected as the teaching subjects. Three combinations (combination of theory and clinics, combination of science and education, and combination of ideological/political education and professional education) were adopted as the starting point. A variety of teaching methods were used. The combination of in-class and after-class and the combination of theory and clinics were implemented. Course construction was carried out from the aspects of course objectives, course resource construction, course content, organization and implementation, and course evaluation methods. Emphasis was placed on the process evaluation and formative evaluation. Questionnaire survey and final examination were used to evaluate the teaching effect. The results showed that a total of 10 first and second prizes were awarded in the provincial and municipal innovation competitions related to the theory of cold disease in the past three years. During the same time, more than 70 medical records were collected and collated, 82 research papers and 155 learning experiences were documented, five communities were visited along with the affiliated hospital and the school hospital for providing healthcare services in rural areas, and more than 20 traditional Chinese diagnosis and treatment activities were performed in these communities. The average score of students in overall course evaluation was 87. More than 94.00% (141/150) students highly evaluated the course construction. They believed that the course construction was very helpful to the theoretical study and clinical application of Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and improved their levels and abilities in classic reading, medical case evaluation and analysis, and syndrome differentiation and treatment. Students' recognition of this course has been improved and phased results have been achieved.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of selective cerebral mild hypothermia on the expression of histone deacetylase 1-3 (HDAC1-3) during focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods:Sixty clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 240-260 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=15 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (S group), focal cerebral I/R group (I/R group), selective cerebral mild hypothermia group (SCH group), and normothermia group (N group). Only the cervical vessels were isolated in S group. In the other three groups, sutures were inserted into the internal carotid artery to block the middle cerebral artery for 2 h, and then the sutures were pulled out to restore perfusion for 24 h. A focal cerebral I/R model was prepared. Normal saline at 20 ℃ and 37 ℃ was infused into the internal carotid artery at a rate of 0.6 ml/min for 10 min starting from the time point immediately after removal of the sutures in SCH group and N group respectively. Cerebral temperature and rectal temperature were continuously monitored during the operation. The modified neurological severity score (mNSS) was assessed at 24 h of reperfusion. The rats were then sacrificed under deep anesthesia and brains were obtained for determination of cerebral infarct size (by TTC staining). The tissues of the cerebral ischemic penumbra were taken for determination of the apoptosis rate of neurons (by TUNEL method) and lactylation modification and expression of HDAC1-3 (by Western blot) and for observation of the morphology of neurons (by HE staining). Results:Compared with S group, the mNSS, cerebral infarct size and apoptosis rate of neurons were significantly increased, HDAC1-3 expression was down-regulated, and the lactylation modification was increased in the other three groups ( P<0.05). Compared with I/R and N groups, the mNSS, cerebral infarct size and apoptosis rate of neurons were significantly decreased, HDAC1-3 expression was up-regulated, and the lactylation modification was decreased in SCH group ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the aforementioned parameters between I/R group and N group ( P>0.05). HE staining showed that the morphology of neurons was intact and well-defined in S group, a large number of cells with edema and irregularly solidified nuclei were found in I/R group and N group, and the nuclear shrinkage and morphological changes of neurons were alleviated in SCH group. Conclusions:The mechanism by which selective cerebral mild hypothermia alleviates cerebral I/R injury may be related to up-regulation of HDAC1-3 expression in rats.

Objective:To evaluate the detective effect of double inversion recovery (DIR) sequence on cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in patients with acute ischemic stroke, and compare with those of T2WI and FLAIR sequences.Methods:Seventy-three acute ischemic stroke patients with WMH within 14 d of onset, admitted to Department of Neurology, Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from November 2018 to March 2021, were chosen. MRI T2WI, FLAIR and DIR sequences were used to detect WMH. According to Fazekas scale, patients with periventricular white matter hyperintensities (PVWMH) or deep white matter hyperintensities (DWMH) were divided into mild group (score of 0-1) and moderate to severe group (scores≥2); the differences in WMH volume detected by T2WI, FLAIR and DIR sequences, and signal intensity, cross-sectional area and contrast of isolated lesions were compared.Results:(1) Seventy-three patients were with PVWMH (36 into the mild group and 37 into the moderate to severe group); in patients from the moderate to severe group, PVWMH volume detected by FLAIR sequence was statistically larger compared with that by DIR sequence, and PVWMH volume detected by T2WI sequence was significantly smaller compared with that by FLAIR sequence ( P<0.05). Fifty-seven patients were with DWMH (44 into the mild group and 13 into the moderate to severe group); the DWMH volume detected by FLAIR and T2WI sequences was significantly larger than that by DIR sequence ( P<0.05). (2) A total of 60 isolated lesions were detected, ranged 5.0-9.1 mm in length; isolated lesions enjoying significantly larger cross-sectional area, higher signal intensity, and lower contrast detected by FLAIR and T2WI sequences compared with those by DIR sequence ( P<0.05); isolated lesions enjoying significantly higher signal intensity and contrast detected by T2WI sequence compared with those by FLAIR sequence ( P<0.05). Conclusion:DIR sequence enjoys better effect in detecting WMH than FLAIR and T2WI sequences; the mismatch area of DIR sequence with FLAIR or T2WI sequences suggests WMH penumbra.

The establishment of an economic operating mechanisms for hospitals is a key factor in advancing the growth of public hospitals in the modern age.At present,the due value of key factors such as medical resources and labor value of medical personnel in public hospitals in China has not been fully reflected,which not only restricts the overall operation efficiency of hospitals,but also makes it difficult to realize the marginal value of hospital operation and management.The economic operating mechanisms of public hospitals is in urgent need of reform.Large public hospitals in Henan Province has established an economic operating mechanisms of public hospitals based on intelli-gent finance,comprehensive budget management as the core,and cost control and performance management as the major tools to realize the interconnection of various systems and promote the high-quality development of hospi-tals with the three major supports of industry and finance integration,financial integration and financial integration.
