Objective: To investigate the trends in mortality and life loss of gastric cancer in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province from 2014 to 2023, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the prevention and control strategy for gastric cancer. Methods: The surveillance on causes of death data of permanent residents in Wenzhou City were collected through the Wenzhou Chronic Disease Monitoring and Management Information System from 2014 to 2023. The crude mortality of gastric cancer was calculated, and standardized by the data from the Sixth Chinese National Population Census in 2010. The life loss were measured using potential years of life lost (PYLL) and rate of potential years of life lost (PYLLR). The characteristics of mortality and life loss of gastric cancer in different genders and age groups were described. The trends in mortality and PYLLR of gastric cancer were analyzed using the average annual percent change (AAPC). Results: Totally 17 080 deaths were reported due to gastric cancer in Wenzhou City from 2014 to 2023, accounting for 12.58% and ranking third in the order of malignant tumor deaths. The crude mortality of gastric cancer was 20.73/105, and the standardized mortality was 15.22/105, showing decreasing trends (AAPC=-3.311%, -6.470%, both P<0.05). The crude mortality of gastric cancer was 29.22/105 in men and 11.61/105 in women, with standardized mortality rates of 20.81/105 and 8.74/105 (both P<0.05). The crude mortality of gastric cancer appeared a tendency towards a rise with increasing age (P<0.05), reaching the highest rate of 225.88/105 in the group aged 80 to <85 years. The PYLL and PYLLR of gastric cancer were 107 607.50 person-years and 1.37‰. The PYLLR appeared a tendency towards a decline from 2014 to 2023, with AAPC of -6.667% (P<0.05). Conclusions The mortality and PYLLR of gastric cancer in Wenzhou City appeared a tendency towards a decline from 2014 to 2023. Men and the elderly populations were the key groups for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer.

Objective: To investigate the trends in mortality and life loss due to falls among the elderly in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the basis for formulating prevention and control measures for falls among the elderly. Methods: The data on fall-related deaths among the elderly aged 60 and above in Wenzhou City were collected through the Wenzhou Chronic Disease Monitoring and Management Information System from 2015 to 2023. The crude mortality was calculated and standardized using the data from the Sixth National Population Census in 2010. The life loss were measured using potential years of life lost (PYLL), average years of life lost (AYLL), and potential years of life lost rate (PYLLR). The trends in mortality and life loss among the elderly were analyzed using the annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC). Results: There were 11 378 deaths due to falls among the elderly in Wenzhou City from 2015 to 2023, with a crude mortality of 82.67/100 000 and a standardized mortality of 65.32/105, which appeared no significant changing trend (AAPC=3.401%、2.995%,both P>0.05). There was a tendency towards a rise from 2019 to 2023 (APC=12.592%、11.507%, both P<0.05). The majority of falls occurred at home, with 6 312 cases accounting for 55.48%. The primary types of fall-related deaths were slips, trips, and falls on the same level, with 8 541 cases representing 75.07%. The crude mortality and standardized mortality of falls in males were 76.63/105 and 60.86/105, which were lower than that in females at 88.72/100 000 and 70.33/100 000 (both P<0.05), and the trends were consistent with the overall population. The crude mortality of falls among the elderly increased with age (P<0.05). From 2015 to 2023, the crude mortality of falls among the elderly aged 60 to <65 years showed an upward trend (AAPC=4.860%, P<0.05), while no significant trend was observed in other age groups (all P>0.05). The PYLL was 5 123 person-years, the AYLL was 0.45 years per person, and the PYLLR was 0.37‰. From 2015 to 2023, PYLL showed an upward trend (AAPC=5.477%, P<0.05). The PYLL, AYLL, and PYLLR for males were 3.08 times, 3.48 times, and 2.67 times those of females, respectively. Conclusions From 2015 to 2023, the mortality of falls among the elderly in Wenzhou City had remained relatively stable. However, PYLL showed an upward trend. Males and older seniors were key groups for falls prevention. It is recommended to enhance health education and promote age-friendly home modifications to prevent falls among the elderly.

Objective: To investigate the association between overweight, obesity, central obesity and hypertension, so as to provide the basis for formulating targeted hypertension prevention and control strategies. Methods: Permanent residents aged ≥18 years were selected in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province from June 2023 to August 2024 by a multistage cluster random sampling method. Data on demographic information, lifestyle, height, weight, waist circumference (WC), blood pressure, and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations, and laboratory tests. The prevalence of hypertension was calculated and standardized using the data of the Sixth National Population Census in 2010. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated to determine overweight and obesity, while WC was used to identify central obesity. The association between overweight, obesity, central obesity and hypertension were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression models. Results: A total of 38 593 residents were surveyed, including 19 481 (50.48%) males and 19 112 (49.52%) females. The median age was 46.00 (interquartile range, 26.00) years. The rates of overweight, obesity, and central obesity were 32.74% (12 634 individuals), 10.27% (3 963 individuals), and 27.87% (10 755 individuals), respectively. There were 11 813 cases of hypertension, with a prevalence and standardized prevalence of 30.61% and 24.41%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for demographic information, lifestyle, diabetes and dyslipidemia, the likelihood of hypertension in the overweight and obesity groups was 1.927 (95%CI: 1.815-2.045) times and 3.724 (95%CI: 3.404-4.073) times that of the normal BMI group, respectively. The likelihood of hypertension in the central obesity group was 2.346 (95%CI: 2.214-2.486) times that of the normal WC group. The likelihood of hypertension in the central obesity only, overweight only, overweight with central obesity, obesity only and obesity with central obesity groups was 1.586 (95%CI: 1.391-1.809), 1.704 (95%CI: 1.582-1.835), 2.433 (95%CI: 2.254-2.626), 1.768 (95%CI: 1.424-2.194), and 4.466 (95%CI: 4.053-4.921) times that of the normal BMI and WC group, respectively. Conclusions Overweight, obesity and central obesity were all associated with hypertension among adult residents. The highest likelihood of hypertension was observed among adult residents with both general obesity and central obesity.

Objective To assess the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy(CIN)in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension(CTEPH)after receiving balloon pulmonary angioplasty(BPA),and to evaluate the effect of the contrast agents on renal function.Methods A total of 143 CTEPH patients,who received BPA at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital of China from December 2018 to May 2022,were enrolled in this study.The clinical data,hemodynamic indicators,and serum creatinine(SC)concentrations within one week before and 48-72 h after BPA were collected.The estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)was calculated according to the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease(MDRD)formula.The SC concentration and eGFR changes before and after each BPA procedure were compared.The incidence of CIN and its risk factors were evaluated,and the changes in hemodynamics,SC and eGFR after the initial and last time of BPA treatment were analyzed.Results A total of 192 BPA procedures were performed in 115 CTEPH patients,including 88 BPA procedures in males and 103 BPA procedures in females.The mean amount of contrast agent used for each BPA was(145.58±47.26)mL.After BPA,12 patients developed 13 times of CIN,with an incidence of 6.8％.There was no significant differences(P＞0.05)in the baseline characteristics and SC concentration before BPA between CIN patients and non-CIN patients.In terms of the hemodynamic indexes,the mixed venous oxygen saturation(SvO2)in CIN patients was significantly lower than that in non-CIN patients(58.58％±10.38％vs.66.15％±8.02％,P=0.002),and no statistically significant differences(P＞0.05)in the other hemodynamic indexes existed between CIN group and non-CIN group.No statistically significant differences in SC concentration and eGFR existed before and after each BPA procedure.In patients who had received several BPA procedures,significant improvements in the SC[(78.09±18.760)μmol/L vs.(82.26±21.37)μmol/L,P＜0.001]and eGFR[(86.08±21.22)mL/(min·1.73 m2)vs.(82.07±22.05)mL/(min·1.73 m2),P=0.007]was achieved when compared with their baseline values.Conclusion CTEPH patients may develop CIN after receiving BPA treatment.After receiving several BPA treatments the patient's clinical symptoms and hemodynamics can be improved,and the patient's renal function is also significantly improved.

Objective:To investigate the role and possible mechanism of tripartite motif-containing protein 72 (Trim72) in acute viral myocarditis (AVMC) in mice.Methods:A mouse model of AVMC was established by intraperitoneal injection of Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3, 2.0 × 10 5 PFU/mouse). Forty mice were randomly divided into the negative control (NC) + phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) group (NC+PBS group), Trim72 overexpression + PBS group (Trim72 + PBS group), NC + CVB3 group, and Trim72 + CVB3 group ( n = 10). Fourteen days before modeling, mice in each group were injected with adeno-associated virus type 9 vector (AAV9) encoding either negative control or Trim72 overexpression (5.0 × 10 11 VG/mouse) via tail vein. Subsequently, PBS or CVB3 was injected intraperitoneally in the PBS and CVB3 groups, respectively. After seven days, the surviving mice were euthanized, and the heart and serum samples were collected. HE and TUNEL staining were used to observe the cardiac pathological changes and cardiomyocyte apoptosis, respectively. The mRNA expression levels of Trim72 and pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in myocardial tissues of each group were detected by RT-qPCR. The protein levels of cTnI, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in serum were detected by ELISA. The expression levels of Trim72, apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, Bcl-2, Cleaved caspase-3, Caspase-3), TLR4, p-p65, and p65 were detected by Western blot. Results:The protein and mRNA expression levels of Trim72 in myocardial tissues of mice in the NC+CVB3 group were significantly downregulated compared with those in the NC + PBS group ( P<0.05). Compared with the NC + CVB3 group, Trim72 overexpression significantly increased the protein and mRNA expression of Trim72 in myocardial tissues ( P<0.05), ameliorated myocardial inflammatory injury, decreased the apoptotic index of cardiomyocytes ( P<0.05), and reduced the levels of pro-inflammation cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in the myocardium and serum ( P<0.05). Additionally, Trim72 overexpression also downregulated the protein expression of Bax, Cleaved caspase-3/Caspase-3, TLR4, and p-p65, and upregulated the protein expression of Bcl-2 in myocardial tissues ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the indexes of mice between the NC + PBS and Trim72 + PBS groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Trim72 overexpression attenuates AVMC in mice by inhibiting myocardial inflammatory injury and apoptotic imbalance, and the mechanism may be related to the negative regulation of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

The standardized mortality of liver cancer were higher in men than in women (36.66/105 vs. 11.21/105, P<0.05), both showing decreasing trends (AAPC=-5.702% and -5.521%, both P<0.05). The crude mortality of liver cancer appeared a tendency towards a rise with age (P<0.05), with the highest crude mortality in the group aged 80 to 84 years, reaching 145.12/105. The crude mortality of liver cancer showed a tendency towards a decline among residents aged under 15 years, 15 to 44 years, 45 to 64 years and 65 years and above (AAPC=-20.311%, -6.569%, -7.408% and -3.177%, all P<0.05). Conclusions The mortality of liver cancer showed a tendency towards a decline in Wenzhou City from 2014 to 2022. Men and the elderly were high-risk groups for liver cancer deaths, and prevention should be strengthened based on risk factors.

Objective: To investigate the mortality and life loss of female breast cancer in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province from 2014 to 2022, so as to provide the evidence for prevention and control of breast cancer. Methods: Data of female breast cancer deaths in Wenzhou City were collected through the Wenzhou Chronic Disease Monitoring and Management information System from 2014 to 2012. The mortality of breast cancer was calculated, and standardized by the data from the Sixth Chinese National Population Census in 2010 (Chinese-standardized rate) and the world standard population first introduced by Segi (world-standardized rate). The life loss were measured using potential years of life lost (PYLL), rate of potential years of life lost (PYLLR) and average years of life lost (AYLL). The trends in mortality, PYLLR and AYLL were analyzed using the average annual percent change (AAPC). Results: Totally 2 523 deaths were reported due to breast cancer from 2014 to 2022, ranking fifth in the order of female malignant tumor deaths. The crude mortality of female breast cancer was 7.13/105, showing an increasing trend with AAPC of 2.186% (P<0.05). The Chinese population-standardized mortality and global population-standardized mortality were 5.93/105 and 4.39/105, showing no significant trend with AAPC of -0.617% and -0.602% (both P>0.05), respectively. The crude mortality of female breast cancer appeared a tendency towards a rise with age (P<0.05). The crude mortality of breast cancer in females aged 65 years and older showed an increasing trend (AAPC=3.283%, P<0.05), but there were no significant tendency aged 15 to <45 years and 45 to <65 years (AAPC=-1.011% and -1.850%, both P>0.05). The PYLL, PYLLR and AYLL of breast cancer were 41 227.50 person-years, 1.23‰ and 19.44 years per person, respectively. AYLL showed a decreasing trend (AAPC=-1.969%, P<0.05), and PYLLR showed no significant trend (AAPC=-0.527%, P>0.05). Conclusions The mortality of female breast cancer in Wenzhou City appeared a tendency towards a rise from 2014 to 2022, and AYLL appeared a downward trend. Females aged 65 years and older were the key groups for the prevention and control of breast cancer.

Objective:To retrospectively evaluate the clinical outcomes of autonomous dental implant robot(ADIR)assisted implant surgery in 1-year follow-up.Methods:20 patients with tooth missing underwent implantation surgery by ADIR were incuded.The plat-form deviation,apex deviation and angular deviation of the implants were analyzed.The marginal bone height and peri-implant soft tis-sue health were measured and observed immediately,6 months and 12 months after the restoration.Results:The platform deviation,apex deviation and angular deviation of 20 implants at the 3 follow-up examinations were(0.34±0.11)mm,(0.34±0.15)mm and(0.82°±0.38°),respectively.There was no significant difference in the accuracy of different implant diameter and length(P＞0.05).During the follow-up period,all implants had successful osseointegration,stable marginal bone height,and acceptable peri-implant soft tissue condition.Conclusion:The 1-year follow-up indicates that ADIR can achieve promising clinical performance.Long-term follow-up studies are still necessary for verification.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics and first aid measures of children with drowning，and to provide scientific basis for the treatment and prevention of drowning in children.Methods:The clinical data of drowning children admitted to the Children's Medical Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan Normal University（Hunan Provincial People's Hospital）from January 2011 to December 2021 were retrospectively summarized. Baseline characteristics，prehospital emergency care and prognosis of the included children were analyzed.According to the time span, drowning children were divided into two stages, the first stage (2011-2016) and the second stage (2017-2021). According to cerebral performance category assessment scale,drowning children with cardiac arrest were divided into two groups: a group with good neurological prognosis and a group with poor neurological prognosis. The baseline characteristics,pre-hospital emergency care, and prognosis of drowning children during different periods and with different prognosis were analyzed.Results:A total of 53 children were enrolled during the study period，with 24 cases in the first phase（2011-2016）and 29 cases in the second phase（2017-2021）.Boys accounted for 73.6%（39/53）of the cases, the age ranged from 1 month and 24 days to 14 years old，with 1-4 years old being the most common，accounting for 58.5%（31/53）, and the season in which drowning occurred was more common in the summer（39.6%, 21/53）.Six cases (11.3%) had significant neurological sequelae, and the mortality rate was 3.8%（2/53）.There was a decrease in the proportion of drowning with water control in the second stage compared to the first stage（37.5% vs. 13.79%, P=0.046）.Thirty-two（60.4%）children experienced on-site cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) after drowning，with 24 cases in the group with good neurological prognosis and 8 cases in the group with poor neurological prognosis.Children in the poor neurological prognosis group required CPR for a long duration [10.00（1.50, 25.00）min]，had lower body temperature，Glasgow Coma Score，pH and higher blood glucose levels on admission（all P < 0.05）. Conclusion:Drowning is most common in preschool children，common in boys，and drowning prevention measures for young children deserve focused attention. Children found to be in cardiac arrest at the time of drowning have a long duration of drowning and CPR，which predicts a poor neurological prognosis，and timely and effective on-site CPR is the key to reducing the drowning rate.
