Objective To understand the equity and influencing factors of maternal health service utilization in Changning District, Shanghai. Methods A convenience sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among mothers of children aged 1 to 1.5 years old who received health services from the child health care clinics and EPI clinics of 10 community health service centers in Changning District, Shanghai from March to April 2022. Count data was expressed by frequency and percentage. Chi-square analysis, binomial logistic regression analysis, and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze fairness-related factors. Rate difference, rate ratio and concentration index were used to represent fairness. Results A total of 696 subjects were investigated, with an average age of (33.35±4.76) years. There were statistically significant differences in service utilization among women with different household registrations only in early pregnancy registration (χ²=11.026, P=0.001) and postpartum visits (χ²=4.989, P=0.026). Women with a career showed differently in folic acid supplement (χ²=6.247, P=0.012), early pregnancy registration (χ²=12.989, P=0.002), physical examination in 42 days postpartum (χ²=4.446, P=0.035) and postpartum contraception (χ²=4.061, P=0.044), and the differences were statistically significant. Women with different monthly family income had a statistically significant difference in pre-pregnancy examination (χ²=8.977, P=0.030) and postpartum visit (χ²=16.114, P=0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between women with maternity insurance or not in the early pregnancy registration (χ²=10.576, P=0.001) and physical examination in 42 days postpartum (χ²=8.166, P=0.004). The results of the multivariate analysis showed that occupation (OR=2.616, 95% CI: 1.142-5.990) and maternity insurance (OR=4.490, 95% CI: 1.992~10.120) affected the utilization of service in early pregnancy registration. The monthly household income (OR=0.278, 95% CI: 0.124-0.625) affected the utilization of services in postpartum visit. At the same time, the monthly household income (10,000-19,999: OR=0.286, 95% CI: 0.090-0.907; ≥30,000: OR=0.180, 95% CI: 0.041-0.801) also affected the utilization of service in physical examination in 42 days postpartum. Conclusion The equity of maternal health care service utilization overall is good in central area in Shanghai, but there is still room for improvement. It is necessary to strengthen community mobilization, propagandize maternal health services, and expand the coverage of maternity insurance to improve the equity of maternal health service utilization and provide equal access to maternity health services.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of frailty between stress perception and kinesiophobia in elderly patients after temporary cardiac pacemaker implantation.Methods:A total of 129 elderly patients who underwent temporary cardiac pacemaker implantation surgery in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from February 2023 to April 2024 were selected by convenience sampling method, and were surveyed by the general information questionnaire, the exercise fear scale, the perceived stress scale and the Chinese Tilburg frailty scale.The t test, one-way ANOVA and non parametric test were used to analyze the data by SPSS 29.0 software.The macro program PROCESS was used to construct and test the mediation model. Results:The total score of kinesiophobia was (41.08±2.77), the total score of stress perception was (36.22±3.07), and the total score of frailty was (11.19±1.53) in elderly patients after temporary cardiac pacemaker implantation. The total score of kinesiophobia was positively correlated with the total score of stress perception ( r=0.383, P<0.01), the total score of kinesiophobia was positively correlated with the total score of frailty ( r=0.451, P<0.01), and the total score of stress perception was positively correlated with the total score of frailty ( r=0.289, P<0.01).The total effect of stress perception on motor fear was 0.359 ( P<0.01) and the direct effect was 0.226 ( P<0.01).Frailty played a partial mediating role between stress perception and kinesiophbia in elderly patients after temporary pacemaker implantation, with an indirect effect of 0.133 (95% CI=0.062-0.243), accounting for 37.05% of the total effect. Conclusion:Stress perception not only directly affects kinesiophobia in elderly patients with temporary cardiac pacemaker implantation, but also indirectly affects kinesiophobia through frailty.

Type Ⅵ secretion system(T6SS)is a lethal weapon that releases effectors in direct contact to kill eukaryotic predators or prokaryotic competitors.T6SS is of great significance in bacterial environmental adaptability,pathogenicity,and gene horizontal transfer.T6SS has been identified in about 25％of Gram-negative bacteria.Because of its widespread existence,T6SS is considered the key factor of ecological competition.T6SS effectors exerting biological functions have high diversity and do not have conserved sequences,and the regulatory mechanisms involved are complex.Therefore,it is a hot and difficult topic in T6SS research.Vibrio fluvialis(V.fluvialis)as a newly emerging foodborne pathogen,has unique characteristics in the quantity,composition,and physiological function of T6SS,which is related to its wide environmental adaptability and pathoge-nicity.This article mainly reviews the research progress of V.fluvialis T6SS,including its composition,structure,functional activity,and regulatory mechanism.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the level of N-terminal pro-Brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)and cardiorespiratory fitness following acute exposure to high altitude.Methods Forty-six subjects were recruited from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University in June 2022,including 19 males and 27 females.After completing cardiopulmonary exercise test(CPET),serological detection of myocardial cell-related markers,and multiple metabolites at a plain altitude(300 meters above sea level),all subjects flew to a high-altitude location(3900 meters above sea level).Biomarker testing and CPET were repeated on the second and third days after arrival at high altitude.Changes in serum biomarker and key CPET indicators before and after rapid ascent to high altitude were compared,and the correlation between serum levels of various myocardial cell-related markers and metabolites and high altitude cardiorespiratory fitness was analyzed.Results Compared with the plain altitude,there was a significant decrease in maximal oxygen uptake after rapid ascent to high altitude[(25.41±6.20)ml/(kg.min)vs.(30.17±5.01)ml/(kg.min),P<0.001].Serum levels of NT-proBNP,Epinephrine(E),plasma renin activity(PRA),angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ),angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2)and leptin(LEP)significantly increased,with all differences being statistically significant(P<0.05)after acute high altitude exposure.In contrast,no statistically significant differences were observed for creatine kinase MB(CK-MB),cardiac troponin I(cTnI),myoglobin(Myo)and norepinephrine(NE)(P>0.05).Correlation analysis showed a significant negative correlation between NT-proBNP at plain altitude(r=-0.768,P<0.001)and at high altitude(r=-0.791,P<0.001)with maximal oxygen uptake at high altitude.Multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that maximal oxygen uptake at plain altitude(t=2.069,P=0.045),NT-proBNP at plain altitude(t=-2.436,P=0.020)and at high altitude(t=-3.578,P=0.001)were independent influencing factors of cardiorespiratory fitness at high altitude.Conclusion Cardiorespiratory fitness significantly decreases after rapid ascent to high altitude,and the baseline NT-proBNP level at plain altitude is closely related to cardiorespiratory fitness at high altitude,making it a potential predictor indicator for high altitude cardiorespiratory fitness.

Objective:To study the application of conicity index (CI),body mass index (BMI),waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and body fat ratio (BFR) in abdominal obesity in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods The patients who received dialysis treatment in the hemodialysis center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from September to December 2023 were selected by fixed-point cluster sampling,and the age,dialysis age,height,weight,biochemical examination indexes and other information of the study subjects were collected,and the body composition analysis was performed using InBody S10 and the visceral fat area was used as the basis for the determination of abdominal obesity. The applications of body mass index,body fat ratio,waist-to-hip ratio and conicity index in predicting abdominal obesity in MHD patients were compared. Results A total of 151 patients were enrolled,including 65 patients with abdominal obesity MHD and 86 patients with non-abdominal obesity MHD. The results showed that there were significant differences in gender,weight,BMI,visceral fat area,body fat ratio,waist-to-hip ratio,conicity index and the prevalence of diabetes between patients with abdominal obesity and non-abdominal obesity (all P<0.05). The consistency test results showed that the consistency between using BMI,body fat percentage,and waist hip ratio to determine abdominal obesity with visceral fat area method was weak,with the conicity index Kappa coefficient having the largest value (P<0.05).The analysis of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the area under the ROC curve of conicity index was the highest,0.765,indicating the highest diagnostic efficacy (P<0.05) in MHD patients. Conclusion Conicity index,body mass index,waist-to-hip ratio and body fat ratio can be used in the diagnosis of abdominal obesity in MHD patients,among which the conicity index is more effective.

Objective:To explore the regulation mechanism of the quorum sensing regulator AphA on the functional activity of type Ⅵ secretion system VflT6SS2 in Vibrio fluvialis. Methods:Western Blot analysis was used to detect the relative expression and secretion of VflT6SS2 signature component hemolysin-coregulated protein (Hcp) in wild type (WT), Δ aphA, and corresponding complementary strains. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR and luminescence activity assay of the promoter- lux fusion system was used to measure the mRNA expression levels and promoter activity of the VflT6SS2 core and accessory gene-cluster representative genes tssB2, hcp ( tssD2) and vgrG ( tssI2), and the quorum sensing regulator HapR in WT and Δ aphA strains. A point mutation experiment combined with a luminescence activity assay was used to verify the regulatory binding site of AphA in the tssD2b promoter region. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was used to determine AphA binding to the hapR promoter. Results:The mRNA expression levels of tssB2, hcp( tssD2), vgrG ( tssI2), and hapR as well as the protein expression and secretion levels of Hcp in Δ aphA strain, were significantly higher than those in the WT strain. The promoter activities of the VflT6SS2 core cluster, tssD2a, tssI2a, and hapR were higher in Δ aphA strain than in the WT strain, while the promoter activity of tssD2b showed the opposite trend. The promoter sequence analysis of tssD2a and tssD2b found significant differences in the region from -335 bp to -229 bp, and two potential AphA binding sites on tssD2b. The promoter activity of tssD2b decreased significantly after the point mutation of the two potential AphA binding sites. EMSA results showed that AphA binds directly to the promoter region of hapR. Conclusions:AphA indirectly inhibits the regulation of the VflT6SS2 core and accessory gene clusters at the promoter level by directly repressing the expression of hapR. AphA showed opposite regulation patterns for tssD2a and tssD2b, and AphA could positively regulate the expression of tssD2b by directly binding to the tssD2b promoter region (-335 bp to -229 bp).
