Objective To explore the risk prediction model of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in community patients with hypertension based on remote ambulatory blood pressure parameters. Methods From November 2023 to October 2024, 486 community patients with hypertension who received standardized management in Nanjing Medical University Affiliated to Suzhou Hospital were retrospectively selected. All patients wore remote ambulatory blood pressure monitor to obtain 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure data. Clinical data were collected and remote ambulatory blood pressure parameters [24-hour systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV), 24-hour diastolic blood pressure variability (DBPV), nighttime SBPV, nighttime DBPV, daytime SBPV, daytime DBPV] were extracted. The patients were followed up for 12 months, and were classified into MACE group (n=42) and non-MACE group (n=444) according to whether MACE occurred during follow-up. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was adopted to screen the influencing factors for MACE. Based on the above factors, a risk prediction model was constructed and verified by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results MACE occurred in 42 cases among 486 patients, with an incidence rate of 8.64%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis suggested that nighttime DBPV (OR=1.119, 95%CI: 1.030-1.214), 24h-SBPV (OR=1.115, 95%CI: 1.007-1.235), nighttime SBPV (OR=1.116, 95%CI: 1.016-1.226) and diabetes mellitus (OR=2.762, 95%CI: 1.059-7.203) were independent factors for MACE (P<0.05). The model validation results revealed that the area under the ROC curve was 0.905 (95%CI: 0.854-0.956 ), and the model had a good discrimination degree. Conclusion Nighttime DBPV, 24h-SBPV, nighttime SBPV and diabetes mellitus are independent risk factors for MACE in community patients with hypertension. The clinical prediction model based on these variables exhibits certain predictive value on MACE risk.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of cognitive frailty and its associated factors among middle-aged and elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Gusu District, Suzhou City, to provide a basis for intervention measures. Methods COPD patients managed at Pingjiang New Town Community Health Service Center in Gusu District from January to December 2024 were selected. Data were collected using the Fried Frailty Phenotype, Mini-Mental State Examination, and a general information questionnaire. Chi-square tests, one-way analysis of variance, and multivariate Logistic regression were used for data analysis. Results A total of 1 388 patients were included, with 916 males (65.99%) and 472 females (34.01%). Cognitive frailty was observed in 554 cases (prevalence: 39.91%). Univariate analysis showed significant differences in gender, education, visual impairment, hearing impairment, sleep disorders, and disease duration between the cognitive frailty and non-cognitive frailty groups (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression indicated that education was negatively associated with cognitive frailty (illiteracy OR=6.969, P<0.001; primary school OR=1.499, P=0.005), while visual impairment (OR=2.347, P<0.001), hearing impairment (OR=1.705, P<0.001), sleep disorders (OR=2.488, P<0.001), and disease duration (≤5 years OR=0.329, P<0.001; 6-10 years OR=0.487, P<0.001) were positively associated with cognitive frailty. Conclusion The prevalence of cognitive frailty among middle-aged and elderly COPD patients in Gusu District, Suzhou City, is high (39.91%). Epositively associated with cognitive frailtyducation, sensory impairments, sleep disorders, and disease duration are associated factors. Clinical attention to high-risk groups and implementation of early screening and targeted interventions are recommended.

Background The high work intensity and possible subsequently increased susceptibility to occupational hazards of calcium carbide plants may lead to hypertension in workers, but there are few studies on the relationship between occupational hazard exposure and hypertension in workers involving the production process of calcium carbide. Objective To explore the influence of occupational hazards on the incidence of hypertension in calcium carbide plants. Methods Using historical cohort design, the employees of a calcium carbide factory in the western part of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region were selected as research subjects. According to the pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria, the study population comprised an exposure group of 377 employees (including furnace workers, inspection workers, and maintenance workers) exposed to dust, noise & carbon monoxide, and a control group of 388 employees (including central control workers, electricians, and administrative personnel) without above-mentioned exposure. The total sample size was 765 participants. The follow-up period was from April 2011 to October 2022, and the study endpoint was defined as the conclusion of the follow-up period or diagnosed hypertension in annual occupational health examination. Information on general demographic characteristics, living habits, and work status was collected from all study subjects. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the association between occupational hazard exposure and the risk of hypertension among the calcium carbide plant employees. Results The average age, mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure, proportion of males, smoking rate, and alcohol consumption rate in the exposure group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Compared to baseline, both systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels increased in the exposure group and the control group at the end of the follow-up (P<0.05). At the end of the follow-up, the average differences between systolic/ diastolic blood pressure and baseline values in the exposure group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). During the follow-up period, a total of 223 cases of hypertension occurred, with a total follow-up of 2785 person-years, resulting in an incidence density of 8007.18 per 100000 person-years, an average age of onset of (35.90±8.22) years, and an average working age of onset of (2.69±1.97) years. The incidence density in the exposure group was 128.71% higher than that in the control group, and the risk of hypertension in the exposure group was 2.115 times that of the control group. The risk of hypertension was 2.199 times higher for men than for women, 1.344 times higher for those aged 30 and above than for those under 30, 1.546 times higher for smokers than for non-smokers, and 1.750 times higher for drinking workers than for non-drinking ones. The results of Cox proportional hazards regression modeling indicated that the hazard ratio (95%CI) of hypertension among the employees exposed to dust, noise, and carbon monoxide was 2.254 (1.703, 2.982), 1.594 (1.107, 2.295), and 1.567 (1.079, 2.274), respectively, when different covariates (gender, age, smoking, and alcohol consumption) were included. The results of Log-rank test showed that there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of disease-free survival between the exposure group and the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Occupational exposures to dust, noise, and carbon monoxide may increase the risk of hypertension among calcium carbide plant workers.

Objective: To investigate the impact of extracurricular physical activity on heart rate variability (HRV) among primary and secondary school students in Chengdu City, so ao to provide references for scientific exercise prescription. Methods: Using a convenient sampling method, 1 323 primary and secondary students were enrolled from central Chengdu who underwent physical fitness assessments at Sichuan Provincial Institute of Sports Science from September 2020 to January 2022. According to the standards of the National Physical Fitness Monitoring Center, boys and girls were divided into groups with and without extracurricular physical exercise habits. HRV was monitored using the SA-3000P device. Key HRV parameters were evaluated separately by gender, including standard deviation of normal to normal intervals (SDNN), root mean square of successive differences (rMSSD), total power (TP), low frequency power (LF) and high frequency power (HF). Statistical analyses were employed by t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test and Chi square test. Results: lgSDNN, lgrMSSD, TP, LF and HF in the group without extracurricular physical exercise habit [boys:(1.67±0.13)ms, (1.59±0.20)ms, (7.34±0.73)ms 2, (6.11±0.74)ms 2, (6.05±0.87)ms 2; girls:(1.67± 0.13)ms , (1.59±0.19)ms, (7.35±0.60)ms 2, (6.06±0.69)ms 2, (6.12±0.87)ms 2] were lower than those in the group with extracurricular physical exercise habit [boys:(1.75±0.13)ms, (1.72±0.18)ms, (7.69±0.62)ms 2, (6.41±0.76)ms 2, (6.44±0.79)ms 2；girls:(1.73±0.13)ms, (1.68±0.20)ms, (7.60±0.65)ms 2, (6.26±0.86)ms 2, (6.36±0.90)ms 2] ( t =-8.24, -8.75, -6.54, -5.35 , -6.33；-5.10，-4.90，-4.47，-2.71，-2.93, all P ＜0.01). Only the group of boys without extracurricular physical exercise habits showed a decrease in lgLF/HF [0.04(-0.19,0.27)] compared to the group with extracurricular physical exercise habits [ -0.03 (-0.25,0.20)] ( Z=-2.01, P <0.05). When the score classes of autonomic nerve activity, stress index and fatigue index were compared between boys and girls groups without and with extracurricular physical exercise habits, the proportion of boys normal and above scores increased from 79.3%, 84.1%, 71.8% to 91.4%, 95.7%, 87.3%, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=47.42, 63.66, 38.28); the proportion of girls normal score and above increased from 79.8%, 85.7%, 75.0% to 85.4%, 92.1%, 79.4%, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=48.31, 22.18, 22.22) (all P <0.01). Conclusion The primary and secondary school students who have the habit of extracurricular physical exercise have enhanced compliance in indicators related to HRV, showing more complex heart rate variability.

Objective:To investigate the differences in cross-frequency coupling (CFC) characteristics of electroencephalography (EEG) between narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) and narcolepsy type 2 (NT2).Methods:A total of 23 NT1 and 31 NT2 patients were included from the Chinese Clinical Sleep Database (CCSD) between October 2022 and September 2023. All participants underwent overnight polysomnography and a multiple sleep latency test. CFC features were extracted from EEG signals during polysomnography, encompassing various combinations of sleep stages, electrode pairs, frequency bands, and coupling types. Feature selection was performed using elastic net regularization. The Spearman correlation between key CFC features and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores was analyzed. Finally, a support vector classification (SVC) model was constructed to distinguish NT1 from NT2, and leave-one-out cross-validation was used to assess the generalization performance.Results:Among all coupling features during non-rapid eye movement sleep stage 1 (N1), the fronto-occipital θ-α1 and central δ-α1 couplings showed the highest absolute coefficients, reaching 1.13 and 1.10, respectively. In the NT1 group, the α1-β2 imaginary part of phase-locking value (iPLV) of the F3-C3 pair during N1 was significantly positively correlated with ESS scores ( r=0.52, P=0.012). In the machine learning classification task, the SVC model achieved an accuracy of 85% using leave-one-out cross-validation. Conclusion:The CFC features during the sleep-wake transition stage play an important role in distinguishing NT1 from NT2 and show a significant correlation with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in NT1. CFC may serve as a potential biomarker for differentiating narcolepsy subtypes and provide new insights into the mechanisms and clinical evaluation of EDS.
