BACKGROUND: The global rise in diabetes prevalence is a pressing concern. Despite initiatives like "The Healthy Beijing Action 2020-2030" advocating for increased awareness, treatment, and control, the specific situation in Beijing remains unexplored. This study aimed to analyze the trends in diabetes prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control among Beijing adults. METHODS: Through a stratified multistage probability cluster sampling method, a series of representative cross-sectional surveys were conducted in Beijing from 2005 to 2022, targeting adults aged 18-79 years. A face-to-face questionnaire, along with body measurements and laboratory tests, were administered to 111,943 participants. Data from all survey were age- and/or gender-standardized based on the 2020 Beijing census population. Annual percentage rate change (APC) or average annual percentage rate change (AAPC) was calculated to determine prevalence trends over time. Complex sampling logistic regression models were employed to explore the relationship between various characteristics and diabetes. RESULTS: From 2005 to 2022, the total prevalence of diabetes among Beijing adults aged 18-79 years increased from 9.6% (95% CI: 8.8-10.4%) to 13.9% (95% CI: 13.1-14.7%), with an APC/AAPC of 2.1% (95% CI: 1.1-3.2%, P <0.05). Significant increases were observed among adults aged 18-39 years and rural residents. Undiagnosed diabetes rose from 3.5% (95% CI: 3.2-4.0%) to 7.2% (95% CI: 6.6-7.9%) with an APC/AAPC of 4.1% (95% CI: 0.5-7.3%, P <0.05). However, diabetes awareness and treatment rates showed annual declines of 1.4% (95% CI: -3.0% to -0.2%, P <0.05) and 1.3% (95% CI: -2.6% to -0.2%, P <0.05), respectively. The diabetes control rate decreased from 21.5% to 19.1%, although not statistically significant (APC/AAPC = -1.5%, 95% CI: -5.6% to 1.9%). Overweight and obesity were identified as risk factors for diabetes, with ORs of 1.65 (95% CI: 1.38-1.98) and 2.48 (95% CI: 2.07-2.99), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of diabetes in Beijing has significantly increased between 2005 and 2022, particularly among young adults and rural residents. Meanwhile, there has been a concerning decrease in diabetes awareness and treatment rates, while control rates have remained stagnant. Regular blood glucose testing, especially among adults aged 18-59 years, should be warranted. Furthermore, being male, elderly, overweight, or obese was associated with higher diabetes risk, suggesting the needs for targeted management strategies.

This study aims to investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of polysaccharide extract PCP1 from Polygonatum cyrtonema in ameliorating cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(I/R) injury in rats through modulation of the Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3) signaling pathway. In vivo, SD rats were randomly divided into the sham group, model group, PCP1 group, nimodipine(NMDP) group, and TLR4 signaling inhibitor(TAK-242) group. A middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion(MCAO/R) model was established, and neurological deficit scores and infarct size were evaluated 24 hours after reperfusion. Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) and Nissl staining were used to observe pathological changes in ischemic brain tissue. Transmission electron microscopy(TEM) assessed ultrastructural damage in cortical neurons. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to measure the levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β), interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-18(IL-18), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-10(IL-10), and nitric oxide(NO) in serum. Immunofluorescence was used to analyze the expression of TLR4 and NLRP3 proteins. In vitro, a BV2 microglial cell oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion(OGD/R) model was established, and cells were divided into the control, OGD/R, PCP1, TAK-242, and PCP1 + TLR4 activator lipopolysaccharide(LPS) groups. The CCK-8 assay evaluated BV2 cell viability, and ELISA determined NO release. Western blot was used to analyze the expression of TLR4, NLRP3, and downstream pathway-related proteins. The results indicated that, compared with the model group, PCP1 significantly reduced neurological deficit scores, infarct size, ischemic tissue pathology, cortical cell damage, and the levels of inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, TNF-α, and NO(P<0.01). It also elevated IL-10 levels(P<0.01) and decreased the expression of TLR4 and NLRP3 proteins(P<0.05, P<0.01). Moreover, in vitro results showed that, compared with the OGD/R group, PCP1 significantly improved BV2 cell viability(P<0.05, P<0.01), reduced cell NO levels induced by OGD/R(P<0.01), and inhibited the expression of TLR4-related inflammatory pathway proteins, including TLR4, myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88), tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6(TRAF6), phosphorylated nuclear factor-kappaB dimer RelA(p-p65)/nuclear factor-kappaB dimer RelA(p65), NLRP3, cleaved-caspase-1, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein(ASC), GSDMD-N, IL-1β, and IL-18(P<0.05, P<0.01). The protective effects of PCP1 were reversed by LPS stimulation. In conclusion, PCP1 ameliorates cerebral I/R injury by modulating the TLR4/NLRP3 signaling pathway, exerting anti-inflammatory and anti-pyroptotic effects.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical utility and translational potential of a remote jaundice monitoring system for home-based screening of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. METHODS: A prospective self-controlled study was conducted, enrolling 538 newborns with gestational age ≥35 weeks, birth weight ≥2 000 g, and postnatal age ≤14 days at the Women's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March to October 2023. Four screening protocols with different predictive indicators were developed based on the Chinese Neonatal Transcutaneous Hourly Bilirubin Nomogram. The effectiveness of the system was evaluated, and the feasibility of using the remote jaundice monitoring system in actual home settings was analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 538 paired transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) and total serum bilirubin (TSB) measurements showed a strong correlation (r=0.85, P<0.001), with 95.0% (511/538) of samples within the 95% limits of agreement. Using TcB ≥ the 95th percentile as the predictive indicator, the system achieved 100% sensitivity, 46.2% specificity, and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.731 (95%CI: 0.682-0.780). This approach could reduce unnecessary hospital visits by 41.4% (221/538). CONCLUSIONS The system integrates the QBH-801 transcutaneous bilirubinometer, intelligent early warning, and remote guidance services, establishing a closed-loop "hospital-to-home" management model. It demonstrates high safety and feasibility, with significant clinical translational value.

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the changes in the mandibular canal following the treatment of large odontogenic keratocysts through decompression and curettage, providing a theoretical basis for sequential treatment. METHODS: Twenty patients were selected for each decompression and curettage treatment of large odontogenic keratocysts in the mandible. Postoperative follow-up with was conducted every three months, during which cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were performed. Then, the data were imported into MIMICS software to observe 3D changes in the position and structure of the mandibular nerve canal, followed by a comparative analysis. RESULTS: The total displacement of the mandibular canal was (1.89±0.21) mm on the decompression side and (0.80±0.19) mm on the curettage side. Vertically, the displacement range of the mandibular canal on the decompression side (M=1.03, SD=0.17) was larger than on the curettage side (M=0.52, SD=0.010) within nine months post-operation. In the buccal-lingual direction, the ratio of the thickness of the buccal plate to the lingual plate gradually increased with time. The amount of bone reconstruction at the part of the mandibular nerve canal closest to the cyst was (1.75±0.15) mm on the decompression side and (1.45±0.09) mm on the curettage side after nine months. CONCLUSIONS The mandibular nerve canal showed varying degrees of recovery and "relocation" after two surgical procedures. Osteogenesis around the mandibular nerve canal was more remarkable after decompression than after curettage. Therefore, for large odontogenic keratocyst, decompression is recommended as the initial treatment, followed by secondary curettage nine months later.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human anti-severe acute respiratory syn-drome coronavirus 2(anti-SARS-CoV-2)monoclonal antibody injection(F61 injection)in the treatment of patients with coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)combined with renal damage.Methods Patients with COVID-19 and renal damage who visited the PLA General Hospital from January to February 2023 were selected.Subjects were randomly divided into two groups.Control group was treated with conventional anti-COVID-19 therapy,while trial group was treated with conventional anti-COVID-19 therapy combined with F61 injection.A 15-day follow-up was conducted after drug administration.Clinical symptoms,laboratory tests,electrocardiogram,and chest CT of pa-tients were performed to analyze the efficacy and safety of F61 injection.Results Twelve subjects(7 in trial group and 5 in control group)were included in study.Neither group had any clinical progression or death cases.The ave-rage time for negative conversion of nucleic acid of SARS-CoV-2 in control group and trial group were 3.2 days and 1.57 days(P=0.046),respectively.The scores of COVID-19 related target symptom in the trial group on the 3rd and 5th day after medication were both lower than those of the control group(both P＜0.05).According to the clinical staging and World Health Organization 10-point graded disease progression scale,both groups of subjects improved but didn't show statistical differences(P＞0.05).For safety,trial group didn't present any infusion-re-lated adverse event.Subjects in both groups demonstrated varying degrees of elevated blood glucose,elevated urine glucose,elevated urobilinogen,positive urine casts,and cardiac arrhythmia,but the differences were not statistica-lly significant(all P＞0.05).Conclusion F61 injection has initially demonstrated safety and clinical benefit in trea-ting patients with COVID-19 combined with renal damage.As the domestically produced drug,it has good clinical accessibility and may provide more options for clinical practice.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that chronic apical periodontitis is one of the common inflammatory bone destruction diseases.Icariin can promote osteogenic differentiation,inhibit bone resorption,and may play a protective role in bone destruction caused by chronic apical periodontitis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of icariin on the proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in the inflammatory environment stimulated by lipopolysaccharides. METHODS:Lipopolysaccharides were used to stimulate MC3T3-E1 cells to establish an inflammatory environment in vitro,and cell counting kit-8 was used to detect the best concentration and optimal action time of lipopolysaccharides.Cell counting kit-8 was used to detect the optimal concentration of icariin under the stimulation of lipopolysaccharides at a concentration of 1 μg/mL.Alkaline phosphatase detection,Real-time PCR and western blot assay were used to detect the effect of icariin on osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in the inflammatory environment.Real-time PCR and western blot were used to detect the effects of icariin on the expression of interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 in MC3T3-E1 cells in the lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inflammatory environment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Cell counting kit-8 results showed that the optimal concentration of icariin was 0.1 μg/mL.In the inflammatory environment,icariin enhanced the expression of alkaline phosphatase and promoted osteoblast differentiation.Compared with the lipopolysaccharide group,the expression of osteogenesis-related factors alkaline phosphatase and Runx2 was increased in the lipopolysaccharide+icariin group.Compared with the lipopolysaccharide group,the expression levels of inflammation-related factors interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 decreased in the lipopolysaccharide+icariin group.To conclude,lipopolysaccharides weaken the osteogenic ability of MC3T3-E1 cells and aggravate the inflammatory response,but icariin has a protective effect on them.

With the increasing proportion of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection in the pathogenic factors of oro-pharyngeal cancer,a series of changes have occurred in the surgical treatment.While the treatment mode has been im-proved,there are still many problems,including the inconsistency between diagnosis and treatment modes,the lack of popularization of reconstruction technology,the imperfect post-treatment rehabilitation system,and the lack of effective preventive measures.Especially in terms of treatment mode for early oropharyngeal cancer,there is no unified conclu-sion whether it is surgery alone or radiotherapy alone,and whether robotic minimally invasive surgery has better func-tional protection than radiotherapy.For advanced oropharyngeal cancer,there is greater controversy over the treatment mode.It is still unclear whether to adopt a non-surgical treatment mode of synchronous chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy,or a treatment mode of surgery combined with postopera-tive chemoradiotherapy.In order to standardize the surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer in China and clarify the indications for surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,this expert consensus,based on the characteristics and treat-ment status of oropharyngeal cancer in China and combined with the international latest theories and practices,forms consensus opinions in multiple aspects of preoperative evaluation,surgical indication determination,primary tumor re-section,neck lymph node dissection,postoperative defect repair,postoperative complication management prognosis and follow-up of oropharyngeal cancer patients.The key points include:① Before the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,the expression of P16 protein should be detected to clarify HPV status;② Perform enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial region before surgery to evaluate the invasion of oropharyngeal cancer and guide precise surgical resec-tion of oropharyngeal cancer.Evaluating mouth opening and airway status is crucial for surgical approach decisions and postoperative risk prediction;③ For oropharyngeal cancer patients who have to undergo major surgery and cannot eat for one to two months,it is recommended to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before surgery to effectively improve their nutritional intake during treatment;④ Early-stage oropharyngeal cancer patients may opt for either sur-gery alone or radiation therapy alone.For intermediate and advanced stages,HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer general-ly prioritizes radiation therapy,with concurrent chemotherapy considered based on tumor staging.Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for HPV unrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(including primary and re-current)and recurrent HPV related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy;⑤ For primary exogenous T1-2 oropharyngeal cancer,direct surgery through the oral approach or da Vinci robotic sur-gery is preferred.For T3-4 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer,it is recommended to use temporary mandibu-lectomy approach and lateral pharyngotomy approach for surgery as appropriate;⑥ For cT1-2N0 oropharyngeal cancer patients with tumor invasion depth＞3 mm and cT3-4N0 HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,selective neck dissection of levels ⅠB to Ⅳ is recommended.For cN+HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,therapeutic neck dissection in regions Ⅰ-Ⅴ is advised;⑦ If PET-CT scan at 12 or more weeks after completion of radiation shows intense FDG uptake in any node,or imaging suggests continuous enlargement of lymph nodes,the patient should undergo neck dissection;⑧ For patients with suspected extracapsular invasion preoperatively,lymph node dissection should include removal of surrounding muscle and adipose connective tissue;⑨ The reconstruction of oropharyngeal cancer defects should follow the principle of reconstruction steps,with priority given to adjacent flaps,followed by distal pedicled flaps,and finally free flaps.The anterolateral thigh flap with abundant tissue can be used as the preferred flap for large-scale postoperative defects.

177Lu-prostate specific membrane antigen(PSMA)radio-ligand therapy has been approved abroad for advanced prostate cancer and has been in several clinical trials in China.Based on domestic clinical practice and experimental data and referred to international experience and viewpoints,the expert group forms a consensus on the clinical application of 177Lu-PSMA radio-ligand therapy in prostate cancer to guide clinical practice.

This study was aimed at analyzing the molecular characteristics of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli(E.coli)strains isolated from domestic animals at a surveillance site in Jiangsu province and evaluating their potential pathogenicity,to provide evidence supporting the surveillance,prevention,and control of infectious diarrhea.Thirty-seven EPEC strains isolated from domestic animals at this surveillance site were characterized by whole genome sequencing.All EPEC strains isolated from local livestock were aEPEC,which has a variety of serotypes and carries a variety of virulence genes associated with diarrhea.Nine ST types with regional epidemic characteristics were identified.Five eae gene subtypes were found,among which β1 was dominant and was also the most common strain in patients with diarrhea.According to analysis of the characteristics of 37 EPEC strains,all EPEC strains from local livestock were aEPEC,thus posing a potential threat to public health.Monitoring of livestock feces and the breeding environment must be strengthened in the surveillance of infectious diarrhea.
