Background and purpose:The Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention provides annual updates on cancer statistics in Shanghai.Breast cancer is one of the common malignant tumors among women.In recent years,the incidence of female breast cancer was increasing,while its trend of mortality showed declining.This study aimed to investigate the survival rates of new female breast cancer cases in Shanghai from 2002 to 2017.Methods:Data of new cases and deaths of female breast cancer patients with follow-up information from 2002 to 2017 were obtained from the Population-based Cancer Registry and Vital Statistics System of Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention.Numbers,proportions,and survival rates were stratified by year of diagnosis,age,histological type and stage at diagnosis for analysis.The 5-year observed survival rates were calculated based on the life table method.The probabilities of surviving from 0 to 99 years were estimated with the Elandt-Johnson model,and then cumulative expected survival rates were calculated using the Ederer Ⅱ method.Finally,the 5-year relative survival rates were calculated.The annual percent change(APC)of survival rates was estimated by Joinpoint Regression Program.Results:A total of 73 600 new female breast cancer cases were diagnosed from 2002 to 2017 in Shanghai.Among them,67 681 cases were morphological verification,accounting for 91.96%.By December 31,2022,23 745(32.26%)cases had died,and 19 466(26.45%)cases had died of cancer.A total of 68 332(92.84%)cases,who were either dead or followed for over 5 years,were considered to have complete follow-up.The remaining 5 268(7.16%)cases were lost to follow-up.73 538(99.92%)cases were included in the observed cohort for survival analysis.The number of observed cases nearly doubled from 3330 in 2002 to 6095 in 2017.The 5-year observed survival rate changed from 78.77%in 2002 to 84.55%in 2017 dynamically,showed a low increasing trend with an average rate of 0.50%per year(APC=0.50%,t=8.75,P＜0.001).The 5-year relative survival rate also increased from 83.46%to 89.24%slowly,with an average rate of 0.47%(APC=0.47%,t=9.80,P＜0.001).The overall 5-year observation survival rate of female cancer was 83.24%(82.96%-83.52%),and the 5-year relative survival rate was 87.58%(87.29%-87.87%)in Shanghai from 2002 to 2017.It was increasing over time,decreasing with aging and advanced stage at diagnosis continuously.There was no significant difference in the 5-year relative survival rates between the groups aged 15 to 64(P＞0.05).The group with an unknown stage had the highest number of cases,followed by the stage Ⅱ group,and then the stage Ⅰ group.The 5-year relative survival rate of cases with stage Ⅰ disease reached 99.10%(98.78%-99.42%),but these cases only accounted for 25.51%of the total.The 5-year relative survival rate of cases with stage Ⅳ disease was 52.54%(50.98%-54.11%),and these cases accounted for 6.13%of the total.The 5-year relative survival rate of cases with s unknown stage was 82.04%(81.42%-82.65%),and these cases accounted for 31.05%of the total.Conclusion:The diagnostic levels and survival rates of female breast cancer in Shanghai were relatively high and continue to improve.However,the proportions of cases with unknown histological type and unknown stage remain relatively high,and the proportion of stage Ⅰ cases is not very large.The survival rates of stage Ⅳ cases are relatively low.This study provides evidence for further research,prevention and control efforts for female breast cancer.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension(CTEPH)is a severe form of pulmonary hypertension(PH),and is classified as the fourth major category of pulmonary arterial hypertension.CTEPH is primarily caused by chronic thrombosis,leading to the obstruction of blood flow in the pulmonary arteries and result ing in a sustained increase in pulmonary artery pressure.The unclear pathogenesis of CTEPH,however,means that its early diagnosis is challenging,treatment options are limited,and prognosis assessment is often inaccurate.In-depth research into these mechanisms will thus improve our understanding of the pathophysiological processes of CTEPH,and also provide a theoretical basis for developing new therapeutic strategies.This review focuses on the current method of establishing CTEPH rat models and their advantages and disadvantages,offering researchers a reference for selecting and constructing CTEPH rat models.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of digital management platform led by outpatient specialist nurses among patients with type 2 diabetes in outpatient settings.Methods:From March 2024 to March 2025, adult patients with type 2 diabetes who visited the Endocrinology Clinic at Peking Union Medical College Hospital were selected using convenience sampling. Patients were randomly assigned to the control group and intervention group using the random number table method. Patients in control group received routine education on type 2 diabetes during their clinic visits after enrollment. Intervention group was managed by nurses through a digital management platform, establishing long-term connections with patients. Based on the platform, nurses regularly provided patients with knowledge updates, promptly responded to patient inquiries, reviewed daily dietary records, monitored blood glucose data, conducted weekly telephone follow-ups, and scheduled regular clinic visits to precisely intervene in patients' lifestyles. The glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and self-management behavior scores were compared between two groups of patients before and after three months of intervention.Results:A total of 46 patients were enrolled and completed the 3-month follow-up, including 25 in control group and 21 in intervention group. There were no statistically significant differences in HbA1c or self-management behavior scores between the two groups of patients before intervention ( P>0.05). At three months of intervention, the HbA1c reduction in intervention group was greater than that in control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Scale scores between the two groups ( P>0.05). The difference in changes in diabetic foot self-screening scores between intervention group and control group was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Specialist nurse-led precision health care management utilizing digital platforms can improve HbA1c and enhance self-management behaviors for diabetic foot in patients with type 2 diabetes, which is expected to be promoted and applied in the outpatient management of diabetes patients.

Objective To study the economic burden caused by healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP),and provide theoretical basis for formulating HAI prevention and control measures.Methods Patients with SAP discharged from a tertiary first-class hospital in Jiangxi Province from July 1,2023 to June 30,2024 were selected as the study subjects.Information including demographic characteristics,clinical data,and hospitalization expense were collected.Patients were divided into a HAI group and a non-HAI group according to HAI occurrence.A propensity score matching(PSM)method was used to conduct a 1∶2 ma-tching,and differences in the length of hospital stay and hospitalization expense between the two groups of patients after PSM were compared.Results A total of 709 patients were included in the analysis,out of which 65 cases ex-perienced HAI,with a HAI incidence of 9.17％.After PSM,all 65 patients in the HAI group were successfully matched.The length of hospital stay,total hospitalization expense,expenses of medication and hygiene product of patients in the HAI group were all higher than those in the non-HAI group,and differences were all statistically sig-nificant(all P＜0.001).Patients who experienced≥2 episodes of HAI had a higher economic burden than those who experienced only once(P＜0.05).HAI of bloodstream,abdomen,digestive system,and respiratory system significantly increased the economic burden of patients(all P＜0.05).Conclusion HAI in SAP patients can extend the length of hospital stay and increase economic burden of patients.Targeted infection prevention and control mea-sures should be formulated to reduce the incidence of HAI and save medical resources.

Objective To evaluate the potential of the BIBP-H fluorescent probe in the detection of the oxidative stress levels after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(CIRI).Methods In vitro,the potential of BIBP-H probe was in detection of oxidative stress was first assessed with fluorescence imaging in rat neuroblastoma(B104)cells after L-glutamic acid stimulation.And then,the effects of edaravone and dexborneol(EDA)and glutathione(GSH)pretreatment on the fluorescence intensity were evaluated.Later,a totally of 28 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned into four groups:transient middle cerebral artery occlusion(tMCAO)group,EDA+tMCAO group,GSH+tMCAO group,and sham group.After 1.5 h ischemia and 12 h reperfusion,the mice were treated with BIBP-H via tail vein injection.In vivo,ex vivo,and tissue fluorescence imaging were utilized to evaluate the probe's cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury(CIRI).Results ① BIBP-H probe did not exhibit fluorescence signals in cultured B104 cells,but showed red fluorescence in B104 cells treated with L-glutamic acid.The signals significantly decreased when pretreated with EDA or GSH.② Both the sham-operated mice intravenously injected with the BIBP-H probe and the tMCAO mice without injection of the probe showed negative results in in vivo fluorescence imaging.③ tMCAO mice treated with BIBP-H exhibited red fluorescence signals in the ischemic hemisphere in vivo,with significantly reduced fluorescence intensity after EDA or GSH infusion during reperfusion ④ The fluorescence area examined with BIBP-H was consistent the cerebral infarction area detected with triphenyltertrazolium.Conclusions The BIBP-H probe effectively monitored oxidative stress levels both in vivo and in vitro,demonstrating its potential in CIRI detection.

BACKGROUND:The relationship between rheumatoid arthritis and coronary atherosclerosis has received extensive attention.Inflammation is related to rheumatoid arthritis and coronary atherosclerosis,indicating that there may be a common pathophysiological pathway between the two diseases.However,observational studies have not yet clarified the causal relationship.OBJECTIVE:To explore whether there is a causal relationship between rheumatoid arthritis and coronary atherosclerosis,as well as the potential causal relationship with 1 400 serum metabolites and 91 inflammatory factors through a Mendelian randomization analysis.METHODS:Coronary atherosclerosis data are from Finngen database,rheumatoid arthritis data are from IEU OpenGWAS database,serum metabolites data are from Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging,Augsburg Cooperative Health Research and British Twin Project Research,and data of 91 inflammatory proteins are from research published in Nature Immunology in 2023.Mendelian randomization analysis was performed using data from genome-wide association studies,and causal effects were evaluated using inverse variance weighting,MR-Egger regression,weighted median,weighted model,and simple model methods,with inverse variance weighting being the primary analysis method.To enhance robustness,Cochran's Q-test MR-Egger intercept was used for sensitivity analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Inverse variance weighting results showed that rheumatoid arthritis was positively correlated with the increased relative risk of coronary atherosclerosis(odds ratio=1.002,95％confidence interval=1.001-1.003,P=0.003).There was no reverse causal relationship between coronary atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.In addition,96 serum metabolites and 9 inflammatory factors were found to have causal relationships with coronary atherosclerosis.There was a causal relationship between 51 serum metabolites and 7 inflammatory factors and rheumatoid arthritis.(2)This study provided epidemiological evidence between rheumatoid arthritis and coronary atherosclerosis,and emphasized the potential role of serum metabolites and inflammatory factors in the pathogenesis of these diseases.These findings may contribute to the development of new treatment strategies.Due to the limited inclusion of data from Asian populations,most contemporary studies used international databases and European population analyses.By collecting and analyzing the health data of European populations,it is conducive to a better understanding of the effects and potential role of Chinese medicine in Europe,and to further promote the practice of modern integration of Western and Chinese medicine.Meanwhile,through the comparative study with the European databases,it is possible to reveal the genetic differences and susceptibility to diseases among different populations,providing more dimensions and perspectives for global health research.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
