To investigate the prevalence and associated factors of fall risk among Chinese older adults, and to examine the roles of urban-rural differences, regional disparities, physical health status, and psychosocial factors in falls among this population, thereby providing evidence for tailored fall prevention strategies. Using data from the 2024 National Routine Physical Fitness Surveillance, a multi-stage stratified sampling method was employed to recruit community-dwelling older adults aged 60-79 years across China. High fall-risk individuals were identified using the Chinese version of the self-rated fall risk questionnaire, while demographic, physical health, and psychological indicators were collected via questionnaires and objective measurements. A generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) with province as a random effect was used to analyze fall risk factors. Among 7000 eligible participants (male: 44.2%, female: 55.8%), the sample comprised 2124 (60-64 years), 2014 (65-69 years), 1660 (70-74 years), and 1202 (75-79 years) individuals, with 58.4% from rural and 41.6% from urban areas. A total of 733(10.5%) were identified as high fall-risk, with higher prevalence among females (10.9%), urban residents (11.5%), and the oldest age group (75-79 years: 12.4%). GLMM random-intercept logistic regression revealed that advanced age ( The prevalence of high fall risk among Chinese community-dwelling older adults aged 60-79 years is 10.5%. Fall risk demonstrates significant associations with multiple factors including muscle strength, movement patterns, sleep quality, and social support. Strategies enhancing grip strength, promoting regular exercise and high-intensity leisure activities, improving sleep quality, fostering spousal support, and boosting life satisfaction may substantially reduce fall risk in this population.

Based on the data from the 5th National Physical Fitness Surveillance in China, this study aimed to explore the relationship between abnormal body weight and physical fitness levels in older adults. The study included adults aged 60-79 years from the 5th National Physical Fitness Surveillance database. Body weight was categorized into four groups—underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity—based on body mass index (BMI), with underweight, overweight, and obesity classified as abnormal weight. Physical fitness indicators such as cardiorespiratory endurance (number of 2-minute high-knee steps), lower limb muscle strength (number of 30-second chair stands), flexibility (sit-and-reach test), balance ability (eyes-closed single-leg stance time), and reaction ability (choice reaction time) were collected. Each physical fitness indicator was divided into four levels (excellent, good, pass, and fail) based on quartile cutoffs. After adjusting for demographic factors (including age, sex, urban/rural residence, education level, pre-retirement occupation, marital status, exercise habits, smoking, sleep quality, and self-rated fitness), binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between physical fitness indicators and abnormal weight. A total of 39 927 older adults aged 60-79 years were included, comprising 19 777 men (49.5%) and 20 150 women (50.5%), with a mean age of 69.2±5.6 years. The prevalence rates of underweight, overweight, and obesity were 2.3%, 41.8%, and 16.7%, respectively, with underweight prevalence significantly increasing with age ( Chinese older adults aged 60-79 years face a dual burden of underweight and overweight/obesity. Poor cardiorespiratory endurance and muscle strength (in women) are significantly associated with abnormal weight. Maintaining good cardiorespiratory endurance and muscle strength may help improve abnormal weight status in older adults.

To explore the dose-response correlation between appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI) and muscle strength in older adults. This study included adults aged 60-79 years from the 2024 National Routine Physical Fitness Surveillance database. ASMI was used to assess muscle mass, while handgrip strength and 30-second chair stand test (30-s CST) repetitions were employed to evaluate muscle strength. Linear regression analyses, adjusted for age and body mass index (BMI), were performed to examine the associations between ASMI and handgrip strength/30-s CST. Additionally, restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were applied for dose-response analysis. A total of 68 038 older adults (56.3% female, mean age 68.0±5.4 years) were included. Males exhibited significantly higher handgrip strength(33.6± 7.8 kg s Muscle mass and strength are significantly positively correlated in older adults. Personalized muscle health interventions should be considered to reduce the rate of decline in muscle strength, when ASMI falls below 13.55 kg/m2 in men or 11.25 kg/m2 in women.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect and mechanism of embryonic intervention with Zuogui pill on the glucose tolerance in offsprings of pregnant rats with gestational diabetes mellitus. METHODS Pregnant rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, positive control group (insulin glargine), Zuogui pill low-, medium- and high-dose groups (4.725, 9.45, 18.9 g/kg). In addition to the blank group, streptozotocin was injected intraperitoneally to establish a gestational diabetes mellitus rat model. From day 6 to day 18 of pregnancy, each group was given relevant medicine and distilled water intragastrically, once a day. After 21 days of birth, the body weight and body length of offsprings were recorded, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated through a glucose tolerance test. After 22 days of birth, fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS) levels in serum, insulin sensitivity index (ISI), and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were measured, and the morphological structure of pancreatic tissue was observed. The protein spectrum of pancreatic tissue was analyzed by tandem mass tag-based proteomics, and protein and mRNA expression levels of apolipoprotein A1(ApoA1), solute carrier family 27 member 1 (Slc27a1), kininogen 1(Kng1) and sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit alpha 2 (Atp1a2), solute carrier family 7 member 5 (Slc7a5), solute carrier family 3 member 2 (Slc3a2), bile acid-coenzyme A: amino acid N- acyltransferase (Baat), eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit gamma (Eif2s3) were detected. RESULTS Compared with the model group, the body weight, body length and ISI of offsprings in the positive control group and Zuogui pill medium-dose group were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the glucose tolerance and islet cell proliferation were significantly improved, and the AUC, FBG, FINS and HOMA-IR were significantly decreased (P<0.05). There were 88 potential target proteins for the embryonic intervention of Zuogui pill in offsprings of pregnant rats with gestational diabetes mellitus,involving multiple pathways such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), cyclic guanosine monophosphate-protein kinase G (cGMP-PKG), fat digestion and absorption, and bile secretion. The proteins closely related to glucose metabolism and insulin resistance mainly included ApoA1, Slc27a1, Kng1, Atp1a2, Slc7a5, Slc3a2, Baat, and Eif2s3. Among them, compared with the model group, protein and mRNA expressions of Slc7a5, Slc3a2, and Baat in the pancreatic tissues of pregnant rat offsprings in the Zuogui pill medium-dose group were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05); protein and mRNA expressions of ApoA1, Slc27a1, Kng1, Atp1a2 and Eif2s3 were all significantly down-regulated (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The intervention of Zuogui pill in the embryonic period on offsprings of pregnant rats with gestational diabetes mellitus can improve their blood glucose levels and pancreatic pathological morphology. The mechanism may be related to the upregulation of the expressions of Slc7a5, Slc3a2, and Baat and the down-regulation of ApoA1, Slc27a1, Kng1, Atp1a2 and Eif2s3 expressions in the PPAR, cGMP-PKG, fat digestion and absorption, and bile secretion pathways.

Objective:To explore the developmental characteristics of event-related potential(ERP) in cognitive function of recognition memory in children aged 6-12.Methods:A total of 130 normal children were divided into seven age groups (6 ( n=20), 7 ( n=17), 8 ( n=23), 9 ( n=24), 10 ( n=19), 11 ( n=15), and 12 years old ( n=12)) to perform a picture study-recognition task and record the reaction time, accuracy, and ERP components of all participants. SPSS 22.0 software was used for data analysis. Single factor analysis of variance and trend of variance were used to compare the response time and accuracy of 7 groups of children during the recognition stage. Pearson correlation analysis was used to study the correlation between the amplitude of the central midline N2 component and age. Paired t-test was used to examine the old/new effects of the amplitude of midfrontal N2 and midparietal P3 waves. Results:(1) The differences of recognition ability ( F(6, 123)=2.476, P<0.05), old picture reaction time ( F(6, 123)=6.461, P<0.001), and new picture reaction time ( F(6, 123)=4.163, P<0.001) among 7 age groups of children were statistically significant. Recognition ability of children aged 6 (0.61±0.24) was lower than those of 8-12 years old children((0.76±0.27), (0.76±0.10), (0.73±0.11), (0.75±0.10), (0.70±0.17) respectively)(all P<0.05). The reaction time of the old picture showed no difference among the children aged 6-9 (all P>0.05), and the reaction time of old picture of children aged 12 was shorter than those of 6-10 years old children (all P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the reaction time of new pictures among the children aged 6-10 (all P>0.05), and which in children aged 12 was shorter than those in 6-10 years old children(all P<0.01). (2) Age was positively correlated with the amplitude of the N2 component in the central region under the new ( r=0.488, P<0.001) and old picture( r=0.452, P<0.001) conditions. (3)At 6 years old, children showed old/new effects on the mid-frontal electrodes. At 7 years old, there were no old/new effects in either the mid-frontal or mid-parietal regions. From 8 to 9 years old, old/new effects appeared in the mid-parietal lobe. At 10 years old, old/new effects were present in both the mid-frontal and mid-parietal regions. At 11 years old, the mid-parietal lobe showed old/new effects. Finally, at 12 years old, negative old/new effects could be observed in both the mid-frontal and mid-parietal regions. Conclusion:There are three periods of changes in the behavior of picture recognition memory in school-age children. At ages 6-7, the accuracy rate is relatively low; at ages 8-9, it improves; and between ages 10-12, the accuracy rate stabilizes while also enabling faster judgments.Children's recognition memory retrieval process is more complex than their behavioral performance. Children have different tendencies toward strategies, but strategic transitions in recognition processing are not always beneficial for performance.

BACKGROUND:As a unique structure of the cervical spine,the occurrence,development and progression of the uncovertebral joint directly affect the stability and range of motion of the cervical spine,and are also closely related to the pathogenesis of cervical spondylosis.A thorough understanding of the developmental characteristics of the uncovertebral joint is of great significance for the pathogenesis,diagnosis,and treatment of cervical spondylosis. OBJECTIVE:By using imaging and three-dimensional reconstruction technology to measure and observe the cervical uncinate process-related angle in a large sample of different age groups,the aim is to reveal the characteristics of its changes with age and vertebral growth,as well as its relationship with cervical spine stability. METHODS:Using a retrospective research design,we collected 1 447 cases of raw CT imaging data that meet the study requirements for complete cervical spine segments.The raw data were imported into Mimics 21.0 software in DICOM format for post-processing and measurement of angle of uncinate process and sagittal angle of uncinate process.The data were grouped based on gender,age,and side. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the increase of vertebral sequence,the angle of uncinate process increased in a V-shaped shape,and the lowest peak was at C5.The overall population showed a sharp peak with the increase of age,and the peak value mostly occurred in the age range of 30-39 years.(2)The sagittal angle of the uncinate process increased like a fishhook with the increase of the vertebral sequence,and the overall angle of the uncinate process increased with age,and the peak value mostly occurred in the age range of 20-29 years.The uncinate process angle and sagittal angle showed only partial significant differences between sides and genders(P<0.05).(3)It is concluded that the angle of the uncinate process increased with the increase of vertebral sequence in a V-shaped manner.The sagittal angle of the uncinate process increases like a fish hook with increasing vertebral order,while the two angles generally peak with increasing age.The angle of the uncinate process is about 131°,which may be closely related to the stability of the cervical spine,while the sagittal angle of the uncinate process is about 14°,and its function may play a certain role in limiting the excessive rotation of the cervical spine.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of national bloodstream infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System(BRICS)were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI). WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period,9 035 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 51 hospitals,of which 7 895(87.4%)were Enterobacteriaceae and 1 140(12.6%)were non-fermenting bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli( n=4 510,49.9%), Klebsiella pneumoniae( n=2 340,25.9%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa( n=534,5.9%), Acinetobacter baumannii complex( n=405,4.5%)and Enterobacter cloacae( n=327,3.6%). The ESBLs-producing rates in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus spp. were 47.1%(2 095/4 452),21.0%(427/2 033)and 41.1%(58/141),respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli(CREC)and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)were 1.3%(58/4 510)and 13.1%(307/2 340);62.1%(36/58)and 9.8%(30/307)of CREC and CRKP were resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination,respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)complex was 59.5%(241/405),while less than 5% of Acinetobacter baumannii complex was resistant to tigecycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPA)was 18.4%(98/534). There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of main Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions,with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CRKP and CRPA( χ2=20.489 and 20.252, P<0.001). The prevalence of CREC,CRKP,CRPA,CRAB,ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were higher in provinicial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals( χ2=11.953,81.183,10.404,5.915,12.415 and 6.459, P<0.01 or <0.05),while the prevalence of CRPA was higher in economically developed regions(per capita GDP ≥ 92 059 Yuan)than that in economically less-developed regions(per capita GDP <92 059 Yuan)( χ2=6.240, P=0.012). Conclusions:The proportion of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections shows an increasing trend,and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top,while the trend of CRKP decreases continuously with time. Decreasing trends are noted in ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Low prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Escherichia coli and high prevalence in CRAB complex have been observed. The composition ratio and antibacterial spectrum of bloodstream infections in different regions of China are slightly different,and the proportion of main drug resistant bacteria in provincial hospitals is higher than those in municipal hospitals.
