Objective: To investigate the trend of gastric cancer disease burden in Wenzhou City, Zhijiang Province from 2014 to 2023, so as to providing evidence for prevention and control strategies. Methods: Data on incidence and mortality of gastric cancer among household registered residents in Wenzhou City from 2014 to 2023 were collected through the Wenzhou Chronic Disease Monitoring and Management Information System, and the crude incidence and crude mortality were calculated. The disease burden of gastric cancer was evaluated by calculating years of life lost (YLL), years lived with disability (YLD), and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) using the World Health Organization's disease burden methodology. Trends in YLL rate, YLD rate and DALY rate of gastric cancer from 2014 to 2023 were analyzed using the average annual percent change (AAPC). Results: A total of 28 122 cases of gastric cancer and 17 080 deaths were reported in Wenzhou City from 2014 to 2023. The crude incidence and crude mortality were 34.13/105 and 20.73/105, respectively. The YYL, YLD and DALY caused by gastric cancer were 181 816.78, 53 198.41, and 235 015.198 person-years, and the YLL rate, YLD rate and DALY rate were 2.21, 0.64 and 2.85 person-years per 1 000 people, respectively. The YLL rate and DALY rate showed a downward trend (AAPC=-4.608% and -2.552%,both P<0.05), while the YLD rate showed an upward trend (AAPC=4.657%, P<0.05). The DALY rate of gastric cancer in men was 3.82 person-years per 1 000 people, and that in women was 1.83 person-years per 1 000 people, with a downward trend (AAPC=-2.924% and -1.647%, both P<0.05). The DALY rate of gastric cancer was relatively low in the 15 to <45 years age group, increased starting from the age of 45 years, and peaked in the ≥70 years age group, reaching 14.09 person-years per 1 000 peoples. The DALY rate of gastric cancer among residents aged 15 to <45 years, 45 to <70 years and ≥70 years showed a downward trend (AAPC=-3.626%, -5.450% and -4.404%, all P<0.05). Conclusions From 2014 to 2023, the DALY rate of gastric cancer in Wenzhou City demonstrated a sustained decline, primarily driven by a the loss of life years due to premature death. Males and older people continue had a heavier disease burden. It is recommended to implement targeted prevention and control measures to reduce the disease burden of gastric canceron among residents.

In order to provide basic information for the utilization and development of famous classical formulas containing Bletillae Rhizoma， this article systematically analyzes the historical evolution of the name， origin， harvesting and processing of Bletillae Rhizoma by reviewing the ancient materia medica， prescription books， medical books and modern literature. The research results showed that Baiji（白及） was the main name， some scholars took Baiji（白芨） as its main name， and there were many other names such as Baiji（白给）， Baigen（白根）， Baiji（白苙）. The mainstream source of Bletillae Rhizoma was the tubers of Bletilla striata， and drying， large， white， solid， root-free and skin removed completely were the good quality standards. With the promotion of wild to cultivated medicinal materials， there were certain differences between their traits， and the quality evaluation indexes should be adjusted accordingly. The origin of records in the past dynasties was widely distributed， with Guizhou and Sichuan having high production and good quality in modern times. The harvesting period is mostly in spring and autumn， and harvested in autumn was better. The processing and processing technology is relatively simple， and it was used fresh or powdered in past dynasties， while it is mainly sliced for raw use in modern times. Based on the results， it is suggested that the tubers of Bletilla striata of Orchidaceae should be used in the famous classical formulas， and it should be uniformly written as Baiji（白及）. And if the original formula indicates the requirement of processing， it should be operated according to the requirement， if the requirement of processing is not indicated， it can be used in raw form as medicine.

BACKGROUND:Satisfactory clinical results have been achieved in the treatment of Sanders Ⅲ calcaneal fractures by percutaneous compression fixation with three-dimensional frame screws.However,whether the stability of minimally invasive plate internal fixation can be achieved in terms of biomechanics,and the advantages and disadvantages after comparison are still unknown. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the fixation effect of different internal fixation devices on Sanders Ⅲ calcaneal fractures by finite element analysis. METHODS:A finite element model of Sanders Ⅲ calcaneal fracture was made based on CT data of a 26-year-old healthy male volunteer.The calcaneal fracture models were fixed by minimally invasive three-dimensional frame screws and minimally invasive Y-plate.The longitudinal loads of 350 and 700 N were applied respectively.The displacement and stress distribution of the two models were analyzed,and the stability of each model was compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The peak stress of bone block and implant in the minimally invasive three-dimensional frame screw model was significantly lower than that in the minimally invasive minimally invasive plate model.The average stress of bone block and implant in the three-dimensional frame screw model was also significantly lower than that in the minimally invasive plate model.(2)The maximum displacement of the two models was located at the medial side of the articular surface of the posterior talus,and the maximum displacement of the three-dimensional frame screw model was smaller than that of the minimally invasive plate model.(3)The longitudinal displacement between the anterior fragment and the medial fragment of the minimally invasive plate model was smaller,and the transverse and vertical displacement between the medial fragment and the middle fragment of the three-dimensional group screw model was smaller.(4)It is concluded that both of the two internal fixation models can provide satisfactory fixation effect.The three-dimensional frame screw model can provide better transverse and vertical stability with more uniform stress distribution and smaller comprehensive displacement of bone fragments,while the minimally invasive plate has more advantages in maintaining longitudinal stability.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and gestational hypertension using two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis.Methods:The summary level data for BMI and gestational hypertension were obtained from the genome-wide association study (the deadline for data inclusion was October 31, 2023). All data were analyzed by inverse variance weighting, MR-Egger regression, weighted median, simple model and weighted model methods. Cochrane Q test was used to evaluate heterogeneity, MR-Egger regression intercept test and funnel plot were used to assess horizontal pleiotropy. Results:Inverse variance weighting result under fixed effects and random effects models showed that the risk of gestational hypertension increased with the increase of BMI ( OR = 1.62 and 1.62, 95% CI 1.39 to 1.88 and 1.39 to 1.88, P<0.01). Sensitivity analysis results including MR-Egger regression, weighted median and weighted model methods showed that BMI increased the risk of gestational hypertension ( OR = 1.51, 1.56 and 1.71; 95% CI 1.01 to 2.26, 1.23 to 1.99 and 1.09 to 2.69; P<0.05 or <0.01). Although Cochrane Q test result showed evidence of heterogeneity ( P = 0.04), inverse variance weighting under a random model suggested that BMI increased the risk of gestational hypertension. Horizontal pleiotropy was not observed in the above analysis ( P = 0.73). Conclusions:Obesity may increase the risk of gestational hypertension. Pregnant women should pay attention to weight control to decrease the risk of gestational hypertension.

Objective To analyze the differential expressed genes(DEGs)in the lung tissues of rat model of high altitude pulmonary edema(HAPE)by using microarray analysis in order to provide new clues for molecular mechanism of HAPE.Methods Healthy male SD rats(8 weeks old,weighing 200±20 g)were randomized into normoxia control(NC)group,lipopolysaccharide(LPS)group,hypoxia group and hypoxia+low-dose LPS(HL)group.The rats of the LPS group and HL group were injected with 0.1 mL 0.05％LPS per 100 g body weight,and those of the NC group and the hypoxia group were administered with an equivalent volume of normal saline.The rats of the hypoxia group and the HL group were housed in a hypobaric chamber simulating an altitude of 5 000 m,and those of the NC group and the LPS group were raised simultaneously outside of the chamber.The wet/dry mass ratio(WDR)of lung tissue and total protein content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were measured,and the histopathological changes of lung tissue was observed using HE staining.The total RNA was extracted from the lung tissues,and the mRNA expression profile was obtained with Affymetrix microarray followed by Gene Ontology(GO)analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)pathway analysis with Metascape(http://metascape.org).Results The rats of the HL group showed significant congestion,edema,and widened alveolar septa.Compared with the NC group,the HL group had significantly increased lung WDR(P＜0.01)and total protein content in BALF(P＜0.05).Gene expression analysis revealed that there were 79 genes up-regulated and 59 genes down-regulated in the hypoxia group,473 genes up-regulated and 695 genes down-regulated in the LPS group,and especially,669 genes up-regulated and 1 253 genes down-regulated in the HL group.GO and KEGG pathway analyses revealed that the upregulated genes in the HL group were mainly enriched in biological processes,such as cytokine mediated signaling pathways,response to IL-1,regulation of inflammatory response,as well as signaling pathways,including cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions,TNF,NF-κB,IL-17,complement and coagulation cascades,etc.The down-regulated genes were mainly enriched in biological processes,such as extracellular matrix organization,regulation of endothelial cell migration,cell substrate adhesion,as well as signaling pathways,such as focal adhesion,Wnt,cGMP-PKG,PI3K-Akt,Rap1,etc.The mRNA expression of NF-κB,TNF-α,IL-1βand IL-6 was significantly up-regulated in the lung tissue of the HL group(P＜0.01).Conclusion Hypoxia+low-dose LPS is an effective procedure to establish a reliable model for HAPE in rats.Hypoxia can significantly aggravate LPS-induced inflammation and immune response,enhance the expression of inflammatory mediators,and thus promote the pathogenesis of HAPE.

Objective To investigate the changes in serum levels of the found in inflammatory zone 2(FIZZ2)and interleukin-33(IL-33)in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)and their correlation with prognosis.Methods A total of 102 AECOPD patients admitted to Hefei Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Sciences from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected as AECOPD group,and were divided into survival group(n=30)and death group(n=72)according to the prognosis.Meanwhile,60 stable COPD patients diagnosed and treated were selected as the stable period group,and 60 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations at the same time were selected as the control group.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect serum levels of FIZZ2 and IL-33.Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between serum FIZZ2 and IL-33 with lung function indicators.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors affecting the prognosis of AECOPD patients.The predictive value of serum FIZZ2 and IL-33 in predicting the prognosis of AECOPD patients was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results In AECOPD group,serum FIZZ2(212.19±48.47 ng/L)and IL-33(66.19±13.41 μg/L)were higher than those in the stable phase group(101.11±31.03ng/L,40.69±9.94μg/L)and the control group(42.33±7.65ng/L,26.17±8.10μg/L),and the differences were significant(t=15.925,26.915;12.799,20.961,all P＜0.05).The serum levels of FIZZ2 and IL-33 were negatively correlated with the forced expiratory volume in one second/predicted value ratio(FEV1％pred),forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity(FEV1/FVC),and arterial partial pressure of oxygen(r=-0.676,-0.707,-0.715;-0.662,-0.711,0.630,all P＜0.05),but were positively correlated with arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide(r-0.712,0.689,all P＜0.05).The serum FIZZ2(254.30±53.22 ng/L)and IL-33(75.18±15.62 μg/L)in the death group were higher than those in the survival group(194.64±47.16 ng/L,62.50±12.37 μg/L),and the differences were significant(t=5.604,4.354,all P＜0.05).Serum FIZZ2(OR=1.445,95％CI:1.094～1.909)and IL-33(OR=1.701,95％CI:1.111～2.602)were independent risk factors for the prognosis of AECOPD patients.The area under the curve(95％confidence interval)of the combination of serum FIZZ2 and IL-33 in the prognosis evaluation of AECOPD patients was 0.886(0.842～0.927),which was higher than 0.834(0.798～0.890)and 0.806(0.779～0.846)of single index detection,and the differences were significant(Z=4.255,4.697,all P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of FIZZ2 and IL-33 are elevated in AECOPD patients,which are related to lung function.The combination of the two may have high predictive value for the survival prognosis of AECOPD patients.

Objective:To assess the safety and efficiency of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) combined delayed anticoagulant therapy in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients combined with cardiogenic stroke during anticoagulant therapy.Methods:Using prospective research methods, 35 AF patients combined with cardiogenic stroke during anticoagulant therapy from September 2020 to June 2022 in Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University were selected. All patients were treated with LAAC and delayed anticoagulant therapy. The endpoints were the safety and efficacy of LAAC combined with delayed anticoagulant therapy. The primary endpoint of efficacy was the composite endpoint of postoperative death, myocardial infarction, hemorrhagic stroke and systemic embolism. The safety endpoint was major bleeding as defined by the International Society for Thrombosis and Hemostasis and clinically relevant non-major bleeding.Results:Among 35 patients, 21 were males and 14 were females; the age was (68.5 ± 9.3) years old; the CHA 2DS 2-VASc score was 5 (4, 6) scores; the time to the last stroke was 95 (42, 98) d; the National Institutes of Health stroke scale score at the time of stroke was 3 (1, 6) scores. All patients successfully completed LAAC without perioperative instrument-surface thrombosis, death, new stroke or bleeding events. Thirty-two patients continued oral anticoagulant therapy 45 d after LAAC. The patients were followed up for (12.6 ± 4.3) months, 1 patient experienced recurrent ischemic stroke, 2 patients endured mucosal bleeding, there were no adverse events such as all-cause death, cardiovascular death, systemic embolism and hemorrhagic stroke. Conclusions:The LAAC combined delayed anticoagulant therapy is efficient and safe in patients with AF. For AF patients combined with cardiogenic stroke during anticoagulant therapy, LAAC combined with delayed anticoagulation therapy may be considered to further prevent ischemic stroke events.

Objective:To explore the incidence and risk factors of postoperative cardiovascular events in older orthopedic patients.Methods:The clinical data of 316 older patients undergoing orthopedic surgery from May 2018 to December 2021 in Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The independent risk factors of postoperative cardiovascular events in elderly orthopedic surgery patients were analyzed.Results:Among the 316 elderly orthopedic surgery patients, 10 patients experienced postoperative cardiovascular events (event group), and 306 patients did not experience postoperative cardiovascular events (non-event group). There were no statistical differences in gender composition, age, operation method, American Association of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, operation time, postoperative hospital stay, nutritional status, weakness degree, ability of daily life (ADL) and the proportions of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) + coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) + old myocardial infarction (OMI), hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, old cerebral infarction, peripheral artery stenosis between two groups ( P>0.05). The proportion of coronary heart disease in event group was significantly higher than that in non-event group: 6/10 vs. 19.93% (61/306), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that coronary heart disease was the independent risk factor of postoperative cardiovascular complications in older orthopedic patients ( OR = 4.63, 95% CI 1.22 to 17.56, P<0.05). Conclusions:Accompanying coronary heart disease can increase the incidence of postoperative cardiovascular events in older orthopedic patients, but cardiovascular events do not prolong the length of hospital stay.

Objective:To explore the role of SUMOylaiton of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in diabetes mellitus prompted inflammation and atherosclerosis in vascular and endothelial cells.Methods:From September 2014 to January 2017, 32 Sprague-Dawley rats in 14 weeks-old were divided into sham operated group, artery injured without diabetes group, artery injured with diabetes group and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme 9 (UBC9) transfection group (Group D) by random digits table method with 8 rats each. Model of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and rat carotid artery balloon injury was made in the assigned group. One rat was excluded because of model failure in each group. Systolic and diastolic common carotid artery diameter and intimal thickness of injured and healthy common carotid artery were evaluated by vascular ultrasound, and the standardized common carotid artery diastolic diameter (sCADD) was calculated. Histological tests and immunohistochemical staining were performed to evaluate intimal hyperplasia, and the ratio of intimal area to media area was calculated when the media area was equal. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were cultured 24 h in high glucose medium with different duration and concentration, and the expression levels of interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-1β mRNA were determined by real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the expression level of UBC9 was determined by Western blot method, SUMOylation assay kit was used to evaluate SUMOylation of PPARγ. HUVEC was cultured in vitro and PPAR was stimulated by high glucose at different concentrations and different times PPARγ SUMOylation level. UBC9 was overexpressed by lentivirus in vivo and in vitro, and the PPARγ SUMOylation level was detected.Results:The intimal thickness, intimal area and ratio of intimal area to media area 8 weeks after carotid artery injuring in sham operated group, artery injured without diabetes group and artery injured with diabetes group were increased respectively: (0.026 ± 0.018), (0.084 ± 0.007) and (0.264 ± 0.022) mm; (0.18 ± 0.09) × 10 6, (0.32 ± 0.06) × 10 6 and (1.64 ± 0.22)×10 6 μm 2; 0.345 ± 0.073, 0.570 ± 0.080 and 2.710 ± 0.220, the sCADD was decreased respectively: 0.903 ± 0.084, 0.800 ± 0.071 and 0.330 ± 0.036, and there were statistical differences ( F = 10.40, 9.40, 8.20 and 8.60; P<0.05). After HUVEC was cultured in high glucose for 24 h, the IL-8 mRNA at sugar concentrations of 10, 20 and 40 mmol/L was 1.00 ± 0.11, 3.57 ± 0.22 and 4.07 ± 0.40, the IL-1β mRNA was 1.00 ± 0.07, 3.32 ± 0.29 and 5.13 ± 0.19, and there were statistical differences ( F = 73.05 and 205.80, P<0.05). The level of PPARγ SUMOylation and UBC9 in artery injured with diabetes group were significantly lower than those in artery injured without diabetes group (0.46 ± 0.25 vs. 1.00 ± 0.21 and 0.45 ± 0.02 vs. 1.00 ± 0.07), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); there was no statistical difference in PPARγ between 2 groups (0.94 ± 0.07 vs. 1.00 ± 0.04, P>0.05). The UBC9 and PPARγ SUMOylation at sugar concentrations of 0, 10, 20 and 40 mmol/L were decreased respectively (0.99 ± 0.05, 0.80 ± 0.06 and 0.62 ± 0.05; 1.00 ± 0.05, 0.57 ± 0.13 and 0.55 ± 0.08), and there were statistical differences ( F = 21.02 and 14.31, P<0.05); there was no statistical difference in PPARγ (1.00 ± 0.03, 0.90 ± 0.04 and 0.91 ± 0.05; F = 3.11, P>0.05). In HUVEC cultured in high glucose medium (20 mmol/L) for 6, 12, 24 and 48 h, the UBC9 and PPARγ SUMOylation were downregulated progressively (1.00 ± 0.09, 0.75 ± 0.05, 0.70 ± 0.08, 0.38 ± 0.04 and 0.35 ± 0.03; 1.00 ± 0.03, 0.86 ± 0.01, 0.59 ± 0.01, 0.51 ± 0.11 and 0.35 ± 0.08), and there were statistical differences ( F = 36.06 and 33.13, P<0.05); but there was no statistical difference in PPARγ (1.00 ± 0.03, 1.14 ± 0.02, 1.18 ± 0.17, 0.98 ± 0.01 and 1.04 ± 0.05; F = 1.90, P>0.05). After overexpression of UBC9 in rats with diabetes, histological analysis showed that UBC9 in artery injured without diabetes group, artery injured with diabetes group and UBC9 transfection group was 1.53 ± 0.18, 1.00 ± 0.22 and 3.62 ± 0.35, there was statistical difference ( F = 5.64, P<0.05). Ultrasonic test results show that in artery injured without diabetes group, artery injured with diabetes group and UBC9 transfection group intimal thickness was increased respectively: (0.077 ± 0.015), (0.216 ± 0.007) and (0.125 ± 0.014) mm, and there was statistical difference ( F = 27.18, P<0.05). Histological analysis showed that intimal area in artery injured without diabetes group, artery injured with diabetes group and UBC9 transfection group was (0.335 ± 0.066) ×10 6, (1.053 ± 0.103) ×10 6 and (0.544 ± 0.040) ×10 6 μm 2, the ratio of intimal area to media area was 0.63 ± 0.063, 2.03 ± 0.052 and 0.93 ± 0.100, there were statistical differences ( F = 13.58 and 53.96, P<0.05). Conclusions:Diabetes mellitus could inhibit the PPARγ SUMOylaiton and prompt inflammation and atherosclerosis in vascular and endothelial cells. Upregulation of PPARγ SUMOylaiton though UBC9 overexpressioncould play a protecting role in diabetes mellitus prompted atherosclerosis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of flap combined with 3D printed microporous titanium(tantalum)prosthesis in the treatment of lower extremity soft tissue defect with large bone defect.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2020, 2 patients with large soft tissue defects on dorsal foot together with large metatarsal bone defect and 4 patients with soft tissue defects of calf with large tibial bone defect were treated. The areas of soft tissue defect were 5.0 cm×8.0 cm-15.0 cm×10.0 cm. The length of the bone defect were 3.8 cm to 7.0 cm, 5.75 cm in average. In the first stage, metatarsal bone defect or tibial bone defect was filled with vancomycin blended bone cement, meanwhile, soft tissue defect was repaired with anterolateral femoral flap(ALTF) with vascular anastomosis in 2 cases of feet, and local fascia flap was trans-positioned in 4 cases of lower extremity defects. The sizes of repairing flap were 6.0 cm×8.5 cm-16.0 cm×11.0 cm. Two to 7 months after the initial surgery, the customer designed microporous titanium prostheses were used(5 cases with microporous titanium and 1 with microporous tantalum) to repair the bone defects. The wound healing, the integration of metatarsal and tibial fractures with 3D printed microporous titanium(tantalum) prostheses, and the walking condition were observed after surgery. The follow-up lasted from 6 to 25 months, with an average of 12.7 months.Results:The wound healing in 5 patients was good. The patients stood on the foot in 2 months after surgery, started to walk with the assistance of crutch in 3 months after surgery, and took walk without assistance in 5-6 months after surgery. Good osseous integration were achieved. One diabetic patient had infection of foot wound 3 months after surgery. After removal of microporous titanium prosthesis and replacement of vancomycin blended interstitial substance of bone cement, the wound healed and the patient resumed walking.Conclusion:It is an effective method to encourage the patients to take early ambulation after the surgery for lower extremity soft tissue defect with large bone defect that was repaired by a flap and 3D printed microporous titanium(tantalum)prosthesis. Further observations are required to investigate the long-term efficacy, and the reduction of prosthesis infection rate requires further exploration.
