In response to the current shift in the main content and research focus of life education， which is gradually shifting from the behavioural norms of “health and safety” to thinking about the essence of life and issues of life and death. Drawing on the theoretical resources of the political philosophy of life， it was pointed out that the internalization of “life” has led to the incidence of “burnout” and depression. Faced with the technological rationalism of contemporary society， how to deal with external technological training was the real problem that life education needs to solve. For life education， it was necessary to study how to reemphasize the practical dimension， as well as expand the theme of “health and safety” from simple behavioural norms to ways of dealing with modern society and showcasing life forms.

Objective:The aim of this study was to present an institution's experience with cochlear reimplantation（CRI）, to assess surgical challenges and post-operative outcomes and to increase the success rate of CRI. Methods:We retrospectively evaluated data from 76 reimplantation cases treated in a tertiary center between 2001 and 2022. Clinical features include caused of CRI, type of failure, surgical issues, and auditory speech performance were analyzed. Categorical Auditory Performance （CAP） and Speech Intelligibility Rating （SIR） scores were used to evaluate pre-and post-CRI outcomes. Our center's consecutive cohort of 1 126 patients had seven patients, while 69 patients were from other cochlear implant centers. Device failure was the most common cause of CRI（68/76）, with the remaining cases including flap complications（3/76）, magnet displacement（3/76）, secondary meningitis（1/76）, and foreign bodies around the implant（1/76）. Postoperative auditory and speech outcome improved in 31.6%（24/76） of patients, remained unchanged in 63.2%（48/76）, and decreased in CAP and SIR scores in 5.2%（4/76） of patients. Postoperatively, the seven patients with cochlear ossification and fibrosis scored lower on the overall CAP and SIR scale than non-ossification individuals, which is a significant factor in surgical success rates and auditory-speech outcomes. Conclusion:CRI surgery is a challenging but relatively safe procedure, and most reimplanted patients experience favorable postoperative outcomes. Medical complications and intracochlear damage are the main causes of poor postoperative results. Therefore, minimally invasive CI has a positive significance for reducing the difficulty of CRI surgery and improving the CI performance.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of autophagy on cardiac tissue injury following common bile duct ligation (CBDL) in rats. METHODS: Twenty-four SPF grade healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups, with 6 rats in each group. The sham-operated (Sham) group underwent only dissection of the common bile duct without ligation. The CBDL group underwent CBDL to simulate jaundice-induced myocardial injury. The autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA)+CBDL group was intraperitoneally injected with 15 mg/kg 3-MA 2 hours before modeling, and then injected once every other day. The CBDL+autophagy enhancer rapamycin (Rapa) group was intraperitoneally injected with Rapa 1 mg/kg 0.5 hour after modeling, and then injected once every other day. The rats in each group were sacrificed 2 weeks after surgery, and blood was taken from the inferior vena cava. Serum total bilirubin (TBil), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB) were detected by using a fully automated animal biochemical analyzer. Serum oxidative stress marker superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were detected by colorimetric assay. The heart tissues of rats were taken and pathological changes were observed under a light microscope after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Transmission electron microscope was used to observe autophagosomes after double staining with uranyl acetate and lead citrate. The expressions of autophagy-related proteins were detected using Western blotting. RESULTS: Compared with the Sham group, the serum SOD activity of rats in the CBDL group was significantly decreased, while the serum MDA, TBil, ALT, AST, LDH, and CK-MB were significantly increased; the expressions of autophagy-related proteins Beclin-1 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-II/I (LC3-II/I) were significantly increased, and p62 protein expression was significantly decreased. Autophagosomes were seen under electron microscopy in the CBDL group, and cardiac histopathological morphology showed focal necrosis in the myocardium as well as infiltration of inflammatory cells, dilatation of small interstitial blood vessels, and myocardial fiber degeneration. Compared with the CBDL group, cardiac tissue injury in rats was attenuated by pretreatment with the autophagy inhibitor 3-MA, with a decrease in inflammatory cell infiltration in myocardial tissue, a reduction in interstitial vasodilatation, and a decrease in the area of myocardial fibrosis; a decrease in the number of autophagosomes by electron microscopy; and a further rise in the viability of serum TBil, ALT, and AST [TBil (μmol/L): 184.40±6.74 vs. 120.70±16.93, ALT (U/L): 501.10±62.18 vs. 178.80±22.30, AST (U/L): 806.50±76.92 vs. 275.50±55.81, all P < 0.01], as well as a decrease in the levels of serum SOD, MDA, LDH, and CK-MB [SOD (kU/L): 85.00±5.29 vs. 107.50±7.86, MDA (μmol/L): 10.72±0.93 vs. 15.06±1.88, LDH (U/L): 387.40±119.50 vs. 831.30±84.35, CK-MB (U/L): 320.10±14.04 vs. 814.70±75.66, all P < 0.05]. The expressions of the autophagy-related proteins Beclin-1 and LC3-II/I in cardiac tissues were significantly decreased [Beclin-1 protein (Beclin-1/GAPDH): 0.67±0.04 vs. 0.89±0.01, LC3-II/I ratio: 0.93±0.03 vs. 1.09±0.01, both P < 0.01], and p62 protein expression was significantly increased (p62/GAPDH: 0.99±0.01 vs. 0.60±0.01, P < 0.01). In contrast, compared with the CBDL group, after administration of the autophagy enhancer Rapa, the rats showed increased cardiac tissue injury, increased inflammatory cell infiltration in myocardial tissues, increased interstitial vasodilatation, and increased area of myocardial fibrosis; an increase in autophagosomes was seen by electron microscopy; the change tendency of serum biochemical indicators and proteins in myocardial tissues were opposite with autophagy inhibition group with a decrease in serum TBil, ALT, and AST [TBil (μmol/L): 22.00±3.21 vs. 120.70±16.93, ALT (U/L): 72.13±5.97 vs. 178.80±22.30, AST (U/L): 135.20±12.95 vs. 275.50±55.81, all P < 0.05], as well as a increase in the levels of serum SOD, MDA, LDH, and CK-MB [SOD (kU/L): 208.00±2.65 vs. 107.50±7.86, MDA (μmol/L): 20.38±0.40 vs. 15.06±1.88, LDH (U/L): 1 268.00±210.90 vs. 831.30±84.35, CK-MB (U/L): 1 150.00±158.70 vs. 814.70±75.66, all P < 0.05]. The protein expressions of Beclin-1 and LC3-II/I in cardiac tissues were significantly increased [Beclin-1 protein (Beclin-1/GAPDH): 0.96±0.01 vs. 0.89±0.01, LC3-II/I ratio: 1.19±0.01 vs. 1.09±0.01, both P < 0.05], and p62 protein expression was significantly decreased (p62/GAPDH: 0.19±0.02 vs. 0.60±0.01, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Activation of autophagy in CBDL rats led to myocardial tissue injury and reduced cardiac function. Inhibition of autophagy improved cardiac tissue injury in CBDL rats, while increasing autophagy exacerbated myocardial tissue injury.

Objective:To investigate the safety of the tetravalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MPCV-ACYW) in combination with the inactivated poliomyelitis (IPV) vaccine and diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine for infants aged 3-5 months and provide real-world evidence for the immunization strategy of vaccine combination.Methods:From June to October 2023, a total of 600 3-month-old infants were selected and divided into three groups: control group, mono-vaccination group and combined vaccination group. They were simultaneously or individually vaccinated with MPCV-ACYW, IPV and DTaP vaccines at 3, 4, and 5 months of age, respectively. The incidence rate of adverse reactions within 30 days after each dose was observed.Results:All 600 infants completed at least one vaccination and entered the safety data analysis. The age of the control group (100 infants), the mono-vaccination group (250 infants), and the combination group (250 infants) was (101.20±7.88), (102.26±7.94), and (102.35±7.76) days, respectively. The body lengths were (63.00±3.02), (62.55±3.06), and (63.14±4.02) cm, respectively. The body weights were (6.90±0.77), (6.86±0.94), and (6.99±0.95) kg, respectively. Boys accounted for 49%, 50.4%, and 52.4%, respectively, with no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). The overall incidence rates of adverse reactions in the control group, mono-vaccination group, and combined vaccination group were 4.00%, 2.80%, and 3.20%, respectively, with systemic adverse reaction rates of 3.00%, 2.40%, and 2.00%. The incidence rates of local adverse reactions were 1.00%, 0.40%, and 1.20%, with no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). Adverse reactions were mainly grade 1, with incidence rates of grade 1 adverse reactions of 3.00%, 2.00%, and 1.60% in the three groups, and incidence rates of grade 2 adverse reactions of 1.00%, 0.80%, and 1.60%, respectively. No grade 3 or 4 serious adverse reactions occurred, and the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The adverse reaction symptoms of the three groups were mainly systemic reactions, among which fever and diarrhea symptoms were reported in individual cases in each group, with no statistically significant differences in the incidence rate (all P>0.05). The symptoms of adverse reactions were mostly transient and self-relieved, all of which were cured. Conclusion:The combination of MPCV-ACYW and IPV or DTaP vaccines is safe for infants aged 3-5 months.

OBJECTIVE To compare the predictive accuracy and clinical applicability of four vancomycin individualized dosing tools （SmartDose， ClinCalc， Gulou， Pharmado） and provide a basis for rational clinical medication use. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted， enrolling 479 adult patients who received vancomycin therapy and underwent steady-state trough concentration monitoring in Zhongshan Hospital， Fudan University （Xiamen Branch） from January 1， 2022， to June 30， 2024. The predictive accuracy of each tool was evaluated using indicators， such as mean error （ME）, mean absolute error （MAE）， mean percentage error （MPE）， mean absolute percentage error （MAPE）， the proportion of patients with an absolute percentage error （APE） of less than 30%， the 95% limits of agreement， and the overall relative percentage difference between predicted and measured values. Using indicators such as accessibility， patient management， and recommendation of multiple treatment options， the clinical panxso@163.com applicability of the tools for all patients was evaluated； using the discrepancy in accuracy between the predicted and actual measured blood drug concentrations as an indicator， the clinical applicability was assessed for patients in different renal function subgroups （hyperfunction， normal， mild impairment， moderate impairment， and severe impairment）. RESULTS In terms of accuracy， SmartDose demonstrated the best overall performance with an MAPE of 46.40% and a proportion of APE ＜30% （46.56%）. Bland-Altman analysis indicated that SmartDose had the smallest overall relative percentage difference （－7.25%）， although the 95% limits of agreement were broad for all tools， with differences between the upper and lower limits exceeding 200%. In terms of applicability， all four dosing tools were freely accessible and demonstrated good availability； SmartDose and Pharmado provided the most comprehensive solutions， offering features such as patient management， multiple regimen recommendations， and drug concentration-time curve plotting. Stratified analysis based on renal function revealed that Pharmado showed optimal prediction for hyperfiltration patients （mean difference： 0.11 mg/L）. SmartDose and ClinCalc showed relatively better performance in normal and mild renal impaiment （mean difference： 0.37， 0.51 mg/L and －1.13， －1.33 mg/L，respectively）. SmartDose performed best in moderate renal impairment （mean difference： －2.60 mg/L）. Pharmado and Gulou had smaller prediction biases in severe renal impairment （mean differences： 1.52 mg/L and －0.23 mg/L， respectively）. CONCLUSIONS The four individualized dosing tools demonstrated limited accuracy in the initial prediction of vancomycin concentrations. Among them， SmartDose demonstrates the highest overall prediction accuracy and possesses comprehensive clinical management features. It is recommended that Pharmado be preferred for patients with renal hyperfiltration； SmartDose or ClinCalc can be used for patients with normal or mildly impaired renal function； SmartDose is recommended for patients with moderately impaired renal function； Pharmado or Gulou may be considered for patients with severely impaired renal function.

Objective:To investigate the mediating effect of psychological flexibility between recurrence risk perception and health behavior in stroke patients.Methods:From July to December 2024, 233 stroke patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected using convenience sampling. Electronic questionnaires were used to collect patients' general information, perception of stroke recurrence risk, health behavior, and psychological flexibility.Results:The scores for recurrence risk perception, psychological flexibility, and health behavior of 233 stroke patients were (39.75±4.39), (47.45±4.19), and (54.04±3.78), respectively. Health behavior were positively correlated with recurrence risk perception ( r=0.495, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with psychological flexibility ( r=-0.367, P<0.01). Psychological flexibility partially mediated the relationship between recurrence risk perception and health behavior, with an effect value of 0.080 and an effect proportion of 17.5% (0.080/0.458) . Conclusions:Recurrence risk perception not only directly predicts health behavior in stroke patients but also indirectly influences their health behavior through psychological flexibility. Healthcare providers should enhance recurrence risk perception among stroke patients and incorporate the improvement of psychological flexibility as part of intervention strategies to improve patients' health behavior.

Objective:To explore the association between spicy food intake and the risk for cardio/cerebrovascular diseases.Methods:Data were collected from the China Kadoorie Biobank project conducted in Pengzhou, Sichuan Province. Using the Cox proportional hazards regression model, we analyzed the associations of the frequency of spicy food intake, spicy level, types of spicy food, and the age when regular intake of spicy food began (intake in 1 day/week), with the risk for cardio/cerebrovascular disease. Furthermore, the associations with the risks for ischemic heart disease (IHD) and cerebrovascular diseases, as well as the risk of ischemic stroke (IS) and hemorrhagic stroke (HS) were analyzed.Results:A total of 54 859 study participants were included in the study, in whom 49 320 had spicy food intake (89.90%). In these participants, 37 680 (68.69%) had spicy food intake in 6-7 days/week, 5 036 (9.18%) had spicy food intake in 1-5 days/week, and 6 604 (12.03%) had spicy food intake once a week; 5 539 (10.10%) had never/almost never had spicy food intake. After adjusting for multiple confounding factors, compared with those who never/almost never had spicy food intake, intake of spicy food was associated with reduced risks for IHD (intake in 6-7 days/week: HR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.78-0.95), cerebrovascular diseases (intake in 6-7 days/week: HR=0.88, 95% CI: 0.81-0.96), and IS (intak in 6-7 days/week: HR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.76-0.95). With the increase of spicy food intake frequency, the risk for cardio/cerebrovascular disease decreased (intake in 1-5 days/week: HR=0.91, 95% CI: 0.85-0.98; intake in 6-7 days/week: HR=0.89, 95% CI: 0.84-0.94) (trend test P<0.001). However, no statistical association was found between spicy food intake and the risk for HS. In terms of spicy level, after adjusting for multiple confounding factors, compared with those who never/almost never had spicy food intake, intake of spicy food was associated with reduced risk for cardio/cerebrovascular disease (moderate: HR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.82-0.90) and cerebrovascular disease (moderate: HR=0.90, 95% CI: 0.84-0.97). With the increase of spicy level, the risk for IHD decreased (moderate: HR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.79-0.93; strong: HR=0.84, 95% CI: 0.74-0.95) (trend test P<0.001). After adjusting for multiple confounding factors, compared with those who never/almost never had spicy food intake, intake of any type of spicy food was associated with reduced risk for cardio/cerebrovascular disease, IHD, and cerebrovascular disease. Regulat intake of spicy food from age 0-10 years was associated with reduced risk for cardio/cerebrovascular disease, IHD, and cerebrovascular disease. Regular intake of spicy food from age 11-20 years reduced the risk for cardio/cerebrovascular disease and IHD. There was no significant association between the regular intake of spicy food from age 21-79 years and the risks for cardio/cerebrovascular disease, IHD and cerebrovascular disease. Conclusion:The intake of spicy food could reduced the risk for cardio/cerebrovascular diseases, IHD, cerebrovascular diseases and IS in residents aged 30-79 years in Sichuan.

Objective:To investigate the effect of physical activity on mortality risk in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Sichuan Province.Methods:Based on baseline data from 2004 to 2008 from the China Kadoorie Biobank project site in Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province, a total of 8 501 COPD patients aged 30-79 years were enrolled and followed up for a long period to determine mortality outcomes. Quartiles were used to group physical activity levels. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the effect of physical activity level on mortality outcomes.Results:As of December 31, 2017, the cumulative follow-up of the participants totaled 85 600.58 person-years (mean follow-up duration: 10.07 years). During this period, a total of 2 000 deaths were recorded, yielding a cumulative mortality rate of 23.53%. Among these deaths, 665 were attributed to COPD, corresponding to a cumulative mortality rate of 7.82%; and 1 116 were attributed to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (CVD), corresponding to a cumulative mortality rate of 13.13%. The Cox proportional hazards regression model analysis revealed that, after adjusting for confounding factors, total physical activity was associated with a reduced risk of mortality from COPD, CVD, and all causes in patients with COPD. Compared with the low-level group of total physical activity, the medium-high-level group had the lowest risk of COPD mortality, with an HR of 0.39 (95% CI: 0.30-0.49). The high-level group had the lowest risk of CVD death and all-cause death, with HRs of 0.46 (95% CI: 0.37-0.56) and 0.55 (95% CI: 0.48-0.64), respectively. The lowest risk of COPD death and CVD death was found in the medium-high level of work-based physical activity group, with HRs of 0.36 (95% CI: 0.28-0.46) and 0.43 (95% CI: 0.36-0.51), respectively; the risk of all-cause mortality was lowest in the medium-high and high-level groups, with HRs values of 0.53 (95% CI: 0.46-0.61) and 0.53 (95% CI: 0.45-0.61). The risk of COPD death was lowest in the high-level transportation physical activity group, with an HR of 0.66 (95% CI: 0.53-0.83), and the risk of CVD and all-cause death was lowest in the medium-high level group, with HRs of 0.63 (95% CI: 0.53-0.76) and 0.73 (95% CI: 0.64-0.84), respectively. The risk of COPD death and CVD death was the lowest in the high-level domestic physical activity group, with HRs of 0.66 (95% CI: 0.49-0.89) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.61-0.95), respectively, and the risk of all-cause death was the lowest in the medium-high level group, with an HR of 0.82 (95% CI: 0.72-0.94). There is no statistical association between leisure physical activity and the risk of death from three types of diseases. Conclusions:Total physical activity, including work-based, transportation-based, and domestic physical activity, reduced the risk of COPD, CVD, and all-cause mortality in patients with COPD in Sichuan Province. The magnitude of mortality risk was influenced by the type and level of physical activity.
