ObjectiveTo analyze the trend and influencing factors of low birth weight (LBW) among newborns in Chongming District of Shanghai from 2008 to 2022, so as to provide references for the development of intervention measures reducing the rate of LBW. MethodsBirth surveillance data of Chongming District of Shanghai from 2008 to 2022 were collected and organized, and the annual percentage change (APC) of LBW was calculated by using Joinpoint 5.0.2 software for trend change analysis. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of LBW. ResultsThe overall incidence of LBW was 3.71% in Chongming District, Shanghai from 2008 to 2022. Joinpoint trend analysis showed that the incidence of LBW in Chongming District had an upward trend (APC=5.49%, 95%CI: 3.31%‒7.72%, P<0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preterm birth, multiple births, female infants, birth defects, first pregnancy, primiparity, and a young father age (<20 years) were risk factors for LBW in Chongming District. Among the term infants, female infants, birth defects, and first pregnancy were risk factors for LBW (P<0.05). Female infants, birth defects, first pregnancy, primiparity, advanced maternal age (≥35 years), and a young father age (<20 years) were risk factors in singleton neonates. ConclusionThe incidence of LBW among newborns is on the rise in Chongming District of Shanghai. Therefore, high risk groups need to be identified, and prenatal check-ups and pregnancy care should be strengthened to reduce the risk of neonatal LBW.

ObjectiveTo investigate the reversal effect of Cordyceps sinensis extract on immunotherapy resistance of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MethodsELISA, flow cytometry, and co-culture assays were performed to evaluate the effects of Cordyceps sinensis extract on cytokine secretion, proliferation, and tumor cell killing activity of Jurkat (JKT) cells. Furthermore, the therapeutic effect of Cordyceps sinensis extract on programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) resistant lung cancer was evaluated through in vivo experiments both alone and in combination with anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody. ResultsCordyceps sinensis extract enhanced the secretion of cytokines interferon gamma(IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α) and interleukin-2 (IL-2)in JKT cells, promoted cell proliferation (P=0.006), and boosted their killing function against tumors (P<0.001). Compared with the control group, in vivo study demonstrated that Cordyceps sinensis extract monotherapy effectively inhibited the growth of PD-L1-resistant tumors [tumor growth inhibition value (TGI)=26.1%, P=0.090], while its combination with anti-PD-L1 antibody significantly reversed PD-L1 resistance (TGI=50.6%, P<0.001). ConclusionThis study provides certain data support for the activation of anti-tumor immunity by Cordyceps sinensis extract, and offers a new treatment strategy for enhancing anti-tumor immunity and reversing immune resistance in lung cancer.

Objective Accurate speed perception is crucial for tasks such as man-controlled rendezvous and docking,and teleoperation of space manipulator.Therefore,it is necessary to conduct in-orbit experiments to explore the influence of long-term spaceflight on human speed perception characteristics.Methods The Time-to-Collision(TTC)paradigm was selected to develop experimental software,using a tablet computer for stimulus presentation.Human speed perception characteristics were evaluated based on the subjects'keystroke response data on the keyboard.Through ground-based experiments,the usability and reliability of the paradigm were explored,and the gravity internal model effect was quantitatively analyzed.Through in-orbit experiments on space station tasks,the influence of long-term spaceflight on human speed perception characteristics was further investigated.Results Under the 1G environment on the ground,the TTC paradigm has a high test-retest reliability(r>0.8),and indicators such as average deviation rate and absolute value of average deviation rate show no practice effect.In addition,ground experiments found that compared to vertical upward movement,vertical downward movement is estimated to be faster(i.e.,keystroke time is advanced),showing the existence of the gravity internal model effect.In the microgravity environment of spaceflight,there are no significant differences in average deviation rate and absolute value of average deviation rate among three stages(pre-flight,in-flight,post-flight)and seven tests,indicating that no obvious changes in astronauts'speed perception ability were found at the existing test time points and paradigms.However,the gravity internal model effect(difference between vertical downward and vertical upward)showed a trend of fading in the early stage of astronauts entering orbit.Conclusion Based on the computer screen TTC estimation paradigm,no significant changes in human speed perception ability were found during long-term spaceflight,but microgravity may weaken the human brain's gravity internal model.

This study was conducted as a prospective cluster-randomized controlled trial. From January 25 to June 25, 2024, clinicians in the coronary heartdisease ward of Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were selected as the research object. Using the method of cluster-randomized allocation, the four wards were randomly assigned 1∶1, with physicians and their medical records assigned to the corresponding group based on the ward. The experimental group utilized the intelligent medical record writing assistant, with 46 physicians included and 4105 medical records collected. The control group used traditional writing methods, with 41 physicians included and 4680 medical records collected. Primary outcome measures included quantitative analysis of medical record writing efficiency and medical record writing quality. Secondary outcomes assessed physicians' satisfaction with the use of the intelligent medical record writing assistant. The average writing time for discharge records in the experimental group was significantly shorter than that in the control group(5.73 min The intelligent medical record writing assistant can significantly enhance the writing efficiency and optimize medical record quality concurrently, and physicians are highly satisfied with it. This study validates the effectiveness of the new model of intelligent medical record writing applied to clinical practice, and provides a paradigm for the in-depth application and promotion of this model in the future.

Upon penetration into the host organism,the decapsulated larvae(intestinal infective stage 1 larvae)of Trichinella spiralis(T.spiralis)proceed to invade the host's small intestinal epithelial cells to continue their development,which is a critical step for T.spiralis infection and pathogenesis.Based on our prior research,the Ts-DNase Ⅱ-7 protein,which is present in the adult stage of T.spiralis,has a role in promoting the parasite's invasion of the intestinal epithelium.This is achieved by disrupting the integrity of the intestinal barrier,consequently promoting the parasitization of these cells in the host organism.Ts-DNase Ⅱ-7 can induce differential expression of various miRNAs,among which miR-142-5p has been reported to be involved in disrupting the intestinal barrier.Therefore,in this study,we investigated the mechanism by which Ts-DNase Ⅱ-7-induced miR-142-5p regulates intestinal epithelial cell barrier function by affecting target genes.The experiment was divided into Ts-DNase Ⅱ-7-treated group,miR-142-5p overexpression group(OE),miR-142-5p inhibition group(Inhibition),negative control group(NC)and control group(Control),lentiviral vectors for overexpression and suppression of miR-142-5p expression were used to infect human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells Caco-2 at an MOI of 80,and puromycin(8 mg/L)was used to screen cells to obtain cell lines that stably suppressed the expression of miR-142-5p and cell lines that miR-142-5p was overexpressed,cell transfection efficiency was assessed by fluorescence microscopy,and the relative expression of miR-142-5p was detected by RT-qPCR in each group of cells.The target gene Claudin-1(CLDN1)was predicted and validated using miR target prediction database,RT-qPCR,Western blot and dual luciferase assay.HE staining,Western blot and quantitative analysis of monolayer transmembrane electrical resistance(TEER)and FITC permeability were then applied to elucidate the mechanism of action of miR-142-5p.Caco-2 cells were lentivirally infected and successful transfection was verified by fluorescence microscopy and RT-qPCR.Dual luciferase and Western blot results showed that CLDN1 was a direct target gene of miR-142-5p(P<0.001).Compared to the Ts-DNaseⅡ-7 alone treatment group and the OE+Ts-DNase Ⅱ-7 group,the miR-142-5p inhibited expression group and alleviated Ts-DNase Ⅱ-7-induced down-regulation of CLDN1 mRNA and protein levels(P<0.01 and P<0.05,respectively)and re-versed the decrease in TEER and elevated permeability(P<0.01).Ts-DNase Ⅱ-7 up-regulates miR-142-5p expression,causing reduced CLDN1 expression and impaired intestinal barrier function in Caco-2 monolayer cells,which in turn promotes T.spiralis invasion of the intestinal epithelium to achieve further development.

ObjectiveTo investigate the status, characteristics of population distribution and trends of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) deaths among the registered residents in Chongming District, Shanghai from 2002 to 2022, and to provide a scientific basis for precise prevention and control of COPD. MethodsCOPD death data were obtained from the Shanghai Chongming District Death Surveillance System, and indicators such as crude mortality rate, standardized mortality rate, mortality rate by age group, and probability of premature death were calculated for the registered residents with COPD. Joinpoint 5.0.2 software was adopted to analyze the annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC), followed by an analysis of trend changes. ResultsFrom 2002 to 2022, the average annual crude mortality rate and average annual standardized mortality rate of COPD among the residents of Chongming District were 73.49/100 000 and 34.00/100 000, respectively, and both were higher in males than those in females. The crude mortality rate of COPD among the residents aged ≤69 years in Chongming District was 6.78/100 000, followed by 218.28/100 000 in the age group of ≥70 years and 1 042.77/100 000 in the age group of ≥80 years, respectively. The standardized mortality rates for the whole population (AAPC=-9.75%), males (AAPC=-9.06%) , and females (AAPC=-12.25%) all showed a downward trend (all P<0.001). In addition, there was a decreasing trend in the crude mortality rates for the residents aged ≤69 years (AAPC=-7.51%), aged ≥70 years (AAPC=-9.89%), and aged ≥80 years (AAPC=-8.85%) (all P<0.001). Furthermore, the probability of premature death of COPD decreased from 1.45% in 2002 to 0.08% in 2022. ConclusionThe mortality rate and probability of early premature death of COPD among the registered residents in Chongming District, Shanghai from 2002 to 2022 show a downward trend, and the mortality rate of declining in males is slower than that in females. The elderly with advanced age account for the highest number of deaths. Therefore, targeted intervention measures should be taken for key groups to reduce the mortality rate of COPD.

Purpose To investigate the difference of cerebral blood flow between sleep deprivation and rest wakefulness.Materials and Methods Fifty subjects were recruited from universities in Xi'an from October 2020 to December 2021.The psychomotor vigilance test(PVT)task was used to measure sustained attention.Arterial spin labeling technique was used to analyze and compare the relative cerebral blood flow(rCBF)between sleep deprivation and rest wakefulness.The correlation between altered rCBF of specific brain regions and PVT task performance after sleep deprivation was analyzed.Results Compared with rest wakefulness,rCBF in bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal lobe,bilateral parietal lobule,left orbital middle frontal gyrus,bilateral middle temporal gyrus,right posterior central gyrus,and bilateral angular gyrus was significantly decreased after sleep deprivation.The rCBF of bilateral thalamus,left precuneus,right medial prefrontal lobe,left posterior cingulate gyrus,and left inferior temporal gyrus was significantly increased(FDR corrected,P<0.05,cluster size≥20 voxels).The changes of rCBF in left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe and right parietal lobule were significantly negatively correlated with the PVT task performance(r=-0.56,P<0.001;r=-0.64,P<0.001),and the change of rCBF of left precuneus was significantly positively correlated with the PVT task performance(r=0.72,P<0.001).Conclusion The abnormal changes of CBF in default mode network,frontoparietal network-related brain regions and thalamic may be the important neural mechanism of sustained attentional decline after sleep deprivation.
