Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of the coexistence of multiple frailty domains in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF),and to provide a reference for formulating targeted intervention measures.Methods The patients with CHF hospitalized in the cardiovascular department of a tertiary general hospital in Tianjin from November 2021 to December 2022 were conveniently selected as the study subjects.The self-designed general information questionnaire,FRAIL scale,Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)scale,HALFT Scale,Social Support Rating Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale were used to investigate the coexistence of physical,cognitive and social frailty in CHF patients,and single factor analysis and binary logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors.Results A total of 275 questionnaires were issued and 269 valid questionnaires were collected.Among 269 patients with CHF,12(4.5％),67(24.9％),122(45.4％)and 68(25.3％)patients had 0,1,2 and 3 frailty domains,respectively.According to the patients with CHF whether coexists physical,cognitive,social frailty,divided into coexistence and non-coexistence group.In univariate analysis,there were statistically significant differences in education,residence,family history of cardiovascular disease,NYHA cardiac function grade,atrial fibrillation,BMI,social support score and depression score(P＜0.05).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that high education level(OR=0.567,95％CI 0.397～0.810,P=0.002)was the protective factor for multiple frailty domains in CHF patients,and atrial fibrillation(OR=1.904,95％CI 1.054～3.442,P=0.033)and depression(OR=1.038,95％CI 1.006～1.071,P=0.018)were risk factors.Conclusion The prevalence of the coexistence of multiple frailty domains in CHF patients is high.Education level,atrial fibrillation and depression are potential intervention targets for multiple frailty domains in CHF patients.Targeted intervention measures should be carried out to reduce the incidence of multiple frailty domains and to improve quality of life for CHF patients.

Objective:To explore the effects of different titanium(Ti)surfaces on mitochondria metabolism and polarization of mac-rophages.Methods:The anodic oxidation method prepared nanotubes with distinct morphologies(NT5 and NT20 groups)on smooth titanium surfaces(P group)were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).After 24 hours of culturing RAW264.7 cells on the samples,SEM was employed to observe the morphology of the cells of all groups.Levels of mitochondria ATP and ROS,as well as the activity of hexokinase(HK),were measured by fluorescence probes and luciferase assays.The expression of iNOS,Arg-1,TNF-α and CD206 mRNA was evaluated by RT-qPCR.Changes in mitochondria metabolism and macrophage polarization were studied following inhibition of cellular glycolysis by using 2-deoxy-D-glucose(2-DG)in groups P*and NT20*.Results:Compared with the P group,the NT5 group showed no significant changes in mitochondria ATP,ROS levels and HK activity,but an upregula-tion in M2-associated gene expression was observed.In the NT20 group,mitochondria ATP and ROS levels were increased,HK ac-tivity was elevated,and M1-associated gene expression was upregulated.After glycolysis inhibition,there was no significant differ-ence in mitochondria ATP,ROS levels,HK activity and polarization-related gene expression levels between the P*and NT20*groups compared with the P group.Conclusion:Large-diameter nanotubes may promote macrophage M1 polarization by regulating the metabolic reprogramming that occurs in macrophage mitochondria.

Objective:To investigate the short-term efficacy of robotic versus laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy.Methods:The propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 99 patients of right colon cancer who were admitted to Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 were collected. There were 50 males and 49 females, aged 69(range, 26?89)years. Of the 99 patients, 41 patients undergoing robotic-assisted right hemicolectomy were divided into the robotic group, and 58 patients undergoing laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy were divided into the lapa-roscopic group. Patients received robotic-assisted or laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy operated by the same major surgeon. Observation indicators:(1) propensity score matching status and com-parison of clinical data of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) intraoperative and postoperative conditions.Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the nonparametic rank sum test. Propensity score matching was performed using the 1∶1 nearest neighbor matching method. The caliper value was set as 0.1. Results:(1) Propensity score matching status and comparison of clinical data of patients between the two groups after matching. Of the 99 patients, 82 patients were successfully matched, with 41 cases in each of the robotic group and the laparoscopic group. After propensity score matching, the elimination of history of abdominal operation confounding bias ensured comparability. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative conditions. After propensity score matching, the operation time of the robotic group was 215(range, 130?340)minutes, the volume of intraoperative blood loss was 50(range, 10?400)mL, the number of lymph node dissected was 21(range, 5?55), the number of intensive care unit stay was 15, time to postoperative first flatus was 3(range, 1?12)days, time to postoperative first food intake was 4(range, 2?14)days, duration of postoperative hospital stay was 8(range, 5?25)days. The above indicators of the laparoscopic group were 210(range, 140?370)minutes, 50(range, 5?150)mL, 19(range, 5?34),20, 3(range, 0?9)days, 5(range, 2?10)days, 8(range, 6?17)days, respectively. There was no significant difference in the above indicators between patients of the two groups ( Z=?0.94, ?1.87, ?1.32, χ2=1.25, Z=0.13, ?0.83, ?0.65, P>0.05). There was no patient converted to open operation in the robotic group, versus 1 patient converted to open operation in the laparoscopic group, showing no significant difference between patients of the two groups ( P>0.05). There were 6 cases in the robotic group and 4 cases in the laparoscopic group with complications, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.46, P>0.05). Both groups of patients achieved R 0 resection and had no readmission 30 days after surgery. The hospital expense was (11.0±1.8)×10 4 yuan of the robotic group, versus (9.0±1.7)×10 4 yuan of the laparoscopic group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( t=?5.27, P<0.05). Conclusion:Robot-assisted right hemicolectomy is non inferior to laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy in safety and efficacy, but with higher hospitalization costs.

Objective: To investigate the availability and use of child safety seats among children aged 0-3 years, so as to provide the basis for improving riding safety for children. Methods: Parents of children aged 0-3 years in Huangpu District, Shanghai Municipality, were recruited using the stratified multistage random sampling method from May to July 2024. Demographic information, family travel patterns, the use of child safety seat and related health beliefs were collected using questionnaire surveys. Factors affecting the use of child safety seats were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: Totally 514 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective rate of 96.98%. The respondents included 122 fathers (23.74%) and 392 mothers (76.26%), with a median age of 34.00 (interquartile range, 5.00) years. There were 446 families equipping with child safety seats, accounting for 86.77%; and 169 families using child safety seats, accounting for 32.88%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the parents who had children aged >1-2 years (OR=0.597, 95%CI: 0.366-0.973), travelled 2-4 times per month (OR=0.359, 95%CI: 0.213-0.607) or once per month or less (OR=0.384, 95%CI: 0.202-0.729), and scored high in perceived barrier (OR=0.634, 95%CI: 0.486-0.827) were less likely to use child safety seats; the parents who had children with local household registration (OR=2.506, 95%CI: 1.356-4.633), travelled 5-<10 km (OR=1.887, 95%CI: 1.148-3.101) or ≥10 km (OR=2.319, 95%CI: 1.355-3.967), always wore seat belts (OR=2.342, 95%CI: 1.212-4.524), scored high in perceived susceptibility (OR=1.392, 95%CI: 1.091-1.778) and self-efficacy (OR=1.413, 95%CI: 1.156-1.727) were more likely to use child safety seats. Conclusions Equipping family cars with child safety seats and using them can prevent and reduce traffic injuries among children aged 0-3 years. It is recommended to strengthen publicity to promote the use of child safety seats.

Objective: To investigate the trends in incidence and mortality of lung cancer in Huangpu District, Shanghai Municipality from 2002 to 2019, so as to provide the evidence for formulating lung cancer prevention and control measures. Methods: Data of lung cancer incidence and mortality among residents in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019 were collected through the Shanghai Cancer Registration and Reporting Management System. The crude incidence and mortality of lung cancer was calculated, and standardized by the data from the Chinese Fifth National Population Census in 2000 (Chinese-standardized rate) and the Segi's world standard population in 1960 (world-standardized rate). The trends in incidence and mortality of lung cancer among residents by age and gender were evaluated using annual percent change (APC). Results: A total of 12 965 cases of lung cancer were reported in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019, and the crude incidence rate was 80.66/105, the Chinese-standardized incidence rate was 34.54/105, and the world-standardized incidence rate was 31.30/105, all showing upward trends (APC=4.588%, 2.933% and 3.247%, all P<0.05). A total of 10 102 deaths of lung cancer were reported, and the crude mortality rate was 62.30/105, showing an upward trend (APC=0.959%, P<0.05); the Chinese-standardized mortality was 25.93/105, and the world-standardized mortality was 22.05/105, both showing downward trends (APC=-1.282% and -1.263%, both P<0.05). The crude incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer in males were higher than those in females (101.39/105 vs. 60.52/105, 85.45/105 vs. 39.87/105, both P<0.05). The crude incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer showed upward trends with age (both P<0.05), reaching their peaks in the age groups of 80-<85 years (341.37/105) and 85 years or above (355.97/105), respectively. Conclusions The incidence of lung cancer showed an upward trend, while the mortality showed a downward trend in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019. Elderly men were the high-risk group for lung cancer incidence and mortality.
