Objective To investigate the association between the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) and diabetes mellitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus or hypertension, and diabetes with hypertension among elderly people in Hebei Province. Methods In 2020, a stratified multi-stage random sampling was used to conduct questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory detection among permanent residents of 10 monitoring sites in Hebei Province. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between CVAI and diabetes mellitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus or hypertension, and diabetes with hypertension. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the predictive value of CVAI for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus or hypertension, and diabetes with hypertension. Results The detection rates of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus or hypertension, and diabetes with hypertension were 19.8%, 74.6%, 78.2%, and 16.2%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the lowest quartile of CVAI group Q1, the OR (95% CI) of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus or hypertension, and diabetes with hypertension in the highest quartile Q4 group were 3.55 (2.58~4.89), 2.52 (1.92~3.31), 3.09 (2.31~4.12), and 4.92 (3.40~7.12), respectively. The ROC curve results showed that CVAI had the best predictive value in the diagnosis of diabetes with hypertension, and the optimized critical values in males and females were 128.54 and 141.88, respectively. Conclusion The detection rates of diabetes mellitus and hypertension are high in the elderly population in Hebei Province. CVAI is positively associated with the risk of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus or hypertension, and diabetes with hypertension among the elderly in Hebei. CVAI has the strongest prediction ability for diabetes with hypertension.

[Objective] To investigate the functional differences and potential effects of chromatin spatial structure in patients with normal karyotype and complex karyotype multiple myeloma. [Methods] High-throughput chromosome conformational capture (Hi-C) analysis was performed on plasma cells of 1 case with 1q21 complex karyotype and 1 case with normal karyotype multiple myeloma, and the differences in three-dimensional genome structure between the two patients were analyzed, and the transcriptome characteristics of plasma cells were combined to investigate the differential features through gene functional enrichment. [Results] A/B switch occurred in 36% of the chromatin compartments in two cases, and 1 041 genes in patient with complex karyotype had B/A switch. About 3 500 topological association domains (TADs) were identified in each sample, and there was no significant difference. The number of loops identified in complex karyotype sample was 1 069, which was 1/6 of the normal sample, and there were significant differences in the number of three different types of loops, which to some extent reflected the loss of genome stability. Transcriptome analysis showed significant differences in expression profiles between the two patients, and a total of 6 150 differentially expressed genes (3 303 up-regulated genes and 2 847 down-regulated genes) were identified. [Conclusion] Compared with patient with normal karyotype, patient with 1q21 complex karyotype multiple myeloma exhibit significant changes in the spatial structure of plasma cell chromatin at different levels, which leads to changes in gene expression and activation of pathways related to cancer progression.

Objective To investigate the role of growth arrest-specific 6(Gas6)/Mer tyrosine kinase(MerTK)signaling pathway in ferroptosis in diabetes retinopathy(DR).Methods Human retinal pigment epithelial cells(ARPE-19)were divided into control group,HG group,HG+sh-Gas6 group,and HG+Gas6 group.Cells were exposed to 25 mmol/L D-glucose for simulating an in vitro hyperglycemic(HG)environment.The control group was exposed to a 20 mmol/L mannitol+5.5 mmol/L glucose environment.Rats were randomly divided into normal control group,DR group,and DR+Gas6 group,with 20 rats in each group.A DR model was established by intra-peritoneal injection of STZ solution.Cell proliferation was evaluated using the cell count kit 8(CCK-8)assay.Lip-id reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels were measured by flow cytometry,and levels of malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)were measured by biochemical assays to eval-uate iron death.The expression of Gas6 and MerTK proteins was analyzed by Western blot.Results Compared with HG group,the cell viability,SOD,GSH-Px levels in HG+Gas6 group increased significantly(P＜0.05),while the levels of lipid-ROS and MDA decreased significantly(P＜0.05).In HG+sh-Gas6 group,the cell via-bility,SOD and GSH-Px levels decreased significantly(P＜0.05),while the levels of lipid-ROS and MDA in-creased significantly(P＜0.05).In addition,the expression of GPX4 protein in HG+Gas6 group was significant-ly higher than that in HG group(P＜0.05),and the expression of GPX4 protein in HG+sh-Gas6 group was sig-nificantly lower than that in HG group(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the average thickness of reti-nal nerve fiber layer in DR group significantly decreased(P＜0.05),while that in DR+Gas6 group increased sig-nificantly(P＜0.05).In addition,the levels of MDA and iron in retinal pigment epithelium(RPE)tissues of DR+Gas6 group decreased significantly(P＜0.05),while the levels of GSH and the expressions of Gas6,MerTK and GPX4 proteins increased significantly(P＜0.05).Conclusion HG treatment accelerates the clearance of GPX4 by inhibiting the Gas6/MerTK signaling pathway,inducing ferroptosis and cell growth inhibition in ARPE-19 cells.In addition,up-regulating the expression of Gas6/MerTK signal in DR rat retina can alleviate ferroptosis and oxidative stress in RPE tissue,and help to restore the average retinal nerve fiber layer thickness.

Objective:Analyzing the epidemic trends and spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of condyloma acuminatum in China from 2018 to 2023.Methods:Data of condyloma acuminatum cases and incidence rate including 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) from 2018 to 2023 were collected through the National Notifiable Infectious Disease Reporting System of China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. Incidence trend analysis was conducted using Joinpoint 4.9.1 software, and spatial autocorrelation analysis using ArcGIS 10.5 software. Spatio-temporal scanning analysis was carried out with SaTScan 10.1.2 software.Results:The incidence rate of condyloma acuminatum declined from 7.26 per 100 000 in 2018 to 7.19 per 100 000 in 2023. The average annual percent change was -0.26%, which was no statistically significant downward trend ( t=-0.26, P=0.806). A significant positive global spatial autocorrelation was observed in the county-level incidence rate across the country, with the global Moran's I ranging from 0.55 to 0.60 (all P<0.001); the Getis-Ord General test statistic Z( G) was all >1.96, indicating a high-value clustering pattern in the reported incidence rate of condyloma acuminatum. The local spatial autocorrelation analysis detected 256, 244, 246, 284, 308, and 315 hotspots each year, which were mainly located in the provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guizhou, Yunnan and Chongqing. Spatio-temporal scanning analyses identified 76 statistically significant spatiotemporal clusters covering 25 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). Conclusions:From 2018 to 2023, the reported incidence rate of condyloma acuminata in China exhibited a mild decline. The distribution of hotspot areas and spatiotemporal clusters was largely consistent, primarily in the southeastern coastal and southwestern regions.

Endodontic diseases are a kind of chronic infectious oral disease.Common endodontic treatment concepts are based on the removal of inflamed or necrotic pulp tissue and the replacement by gutta-percha.However,it is very essential for endodontic treatment to debride the root canal system and prevent the root canal system from bacterial reinfection after root canal therapy(RCT).Recent research,encompassing bacterial etiology and advanced imaging techniques,contributes to our understanding of the root canal system's anatomy intricacies and the technique sensitivity of RCT.Success in RCT hinges on factors like patients,infection severity,root canal anatomy,and treatment techniques.Therefore,improving disease management is a key issue to combat endodontic diseases and cure periapical lesions.The clinical difficulty assessment system of RCT is established based on patient conditions,tooth conditions,root canal configuration,and root canal needing retreatment,and emphasizes pre-treatment risk assessment for optimal outcomes.The findings suggest that the presence of risk factors may correlate with the challenge of achieving the high standard required for RCT.These insights contribute not only to improve education but also aid practitioners in treatment planning and referral decision-making within the field of endodontics.
