Objective:To investigate the current status of subjective well-being among stroke patients, and to explore the pathways and effects of influencing factors using structural equation model, so as to provide reference for improving subjective well-being among stroke patients.Methods:From July to November 2024, the stroke patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University, Hefei First People′s Hospital were selected by convenience sampling method. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a general demographic questionnaire, General Well-Being Scale, Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale, Stroke Symptom Cluster Scale, and FRAIL Scale, and AMOS 26.0 was used to analyse the pathways and effects of influencing factors of subjective well-being.Results:A total of 435 questionnaires were collected, 410 were valid.Among 410 cases, 266 case were males, 144 were females, with an age of (65.96 ± 12.15) years. The subjective well-being scores of stroke patients were (72.58 ± 11.66) points. Cognitive reserve and social support were positively correlated with subjective well-being ( r = 0.517, 0.554, both P<0.01), while symptom burden and frailty were negatively correlated with subjective well-being ( r = -0.687, -0.670, both P<0.01). Path analysis showed that symptom burden, frailty, cognitive reserve, and social support had a direct impact on subjective well-being (path coefficients were -0.500, -0.266, 0.148, and 0.144, respectively, all P<0.05), while cognitive reserve, social support, and symptom burden had an indirect impact on subjective well-being (path coefficients were 0.287, 0.249, and 0.108, respectively, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The subjective well-being of stroke patients is influenced by multiple factors, with symptom burden being an important factor affecting subjective well-being. Intervention strategies such as improving cognitive reserve, strengthening social support systems, and preventing frailty can improve the subjective well-being of patients.

Objective To construct an XGBoost predictive model using clinical characteristic data from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and evaluate the efficacy of the predictive model in early risk prediction of lung cancer occurrence in COPD patients.Methods In this retrospective cross-sectional study,cluster sampling was used.We selected clinically diagnosed COPD patients admitted to The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 1,2018,to December 31,2022.A total of 4 008 patients with complete data were included.First,the baseline of each characteristic was analyzed,and then XGBoost was used to construct the lung cancer risk prediction model for COPD patients,and SHAP(SHapley Additive exPlanation)value was used to quantify and attribute the importance of each characteristic.DC A curve was used to evaluate the clinical application value.Results After constructing a lung cancer risk model for COPD patients using 28 variables,eight variables were selected according to the importance of the variables and clinical experience,and the prediction model was reconstructed.The model efficacy in the training set and the test set was 0.948(0.938,0.958)and 0.797(0.738,0.856),respectively.SHAP diagram showed that elevated CEA,CA125,FIB,eosinophils,PLT and D-dimer and reduced TT all contributed to an increased risk of lung cancer in COPD patients.DCA curve showed that the prediction model had clinical application value,which could help doctors make more accurate prognosis prediction and treatment decisions.Conclusion The successful establishment of an XGBoost predictive model,utilizing a subset of features,enables early prediction of lung cancer occurrence in COPD patients.

ObjectiveTo find out whether there is any difference in the monitoring results of mosq-ovitraps placed in different orientations in multi-storey residential areas, so as to provide a scientific basis for routine and emergency monitoring of Aedes albopictus with mosq-ovitraps in residential areas. MethodsFrom July 6th to October 26th 2023, one mosquito ovitrap was set up in each of the 4 orientations of east, south, west and north around the buildings in a multi-storey residential area in Jinhui Town, Fengxian District, Shanghai. Data was collected and recorded 72 hours after placement. The chi-square test was used to compare the mosquito ovitrap indices (MOIs) of two independent samples, and the Kruskal⁃Wallis H test was used to compare the MOIs of multiple independent samples. ResultsAfter 16 weeks of surveillance, 997 mosquito ovitraps were recovered, of which 211 were positive, with the mosquito ovitrap index (MOI) of 21.16% and the Aedes albopictus density index of 1.03 mosquitoes·ovitrap^-1. The MOIs were higher in September (24.22%) and October (23.96%), and the MOIs in the west, south and north within the two months were all above 20.00%. From July to October, the MOIs in the east, west, south and north were 20.70%, 22.20%, 25.50% and 16.20%, respectively, and the difference in MOIs among the 4 orientations was not statistically significant (χ²=6.647, P=0.084). Stratified analysis by month showed that in August, the south side of the multi-storey residential areas had the highest MOI (31.30%), the north side had the lowest MOI (1.30%), and there was a statistically significant difference in MOI in the east, west, south and north (χ²=25.986, P<0.001). In October, the MOI in the west was the highest (33.30%) and the MOI in the east was the lowest (6.30%), the difference in MOIs of the 4 orientations was statistically significant (χ²=12.007, P=0.007). The MOIs in the south side of the building in the outskirts of the residential area from the 1st week in July to the 4th week in October was lower (19.20%) than that in the south side of the inner building (31.70%), and the difference in MOI was statistically significant (χ²=5.118, P=0.024). ConclusionThe study of MOI in different orientations in a multi-storey residential area is a preliminary exploration based on field work, and the results show that there is a difference in MOIs in different orientations during the peak breeding period of mosquitoes. Further indicators such as temperature, humidity and wind speed in different orientations can be collected to explore the influencing factors of MOIs.

Objective:Mendelian randomization analysis (MR) was used to investigate the causal association between nine cathepsins and cholelithiasis.Methods:Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites closely associated and mutually independent with nine cathepsins and cholelithiasis were screened out from the Genome-Wide Association Study database and the FinnGen Biobank database, respectively. SNP corresponding to exposure factors were selected as instrumental variables. Two-sample bidirectional MR analysis was conducted with methods of inverse variance weighted (IVW), weighted median and MR-Egger regression. Additionally, multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR) was conducted to estimate the direct effect of cathepsins on cholelithiasis. Cochran's Q test, MR-PRESSO method and MR Egger regression were used to evaluate the levels of heterogeneity and pleiotropy. And the leave-one-out method was performed for the sensitivity analysis. Results:The univariable Mendelian randomization analysis results indicated that elevated cathepsin B levels increased the overall risk of cholelithiasis (IVW: OR=1.054, 95% CI: 1.025-1.083, P<0.001). The reverse MR analyses did not support a causal effect of cholelithiasis on cathepsin B (IVW: OR=0.998, 95% CI: 0.920-1.083, P=0.969). A multivariable analysis showed that elevated cathepsin B levels were still strongly associated with an increased risk of cholelithiasis (IVW: OR=1.038, 95% CI: 1.003-1.073, P=0.031). None evidence of significant pleiotropy and heterogeneity was observed, which was verified by sensitivity analysis. Conclusion:Cathepsin B may serve as a marker for cholelithiasis, and has important guiding significance in cholelithiasis treatment.
