ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence of stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the community of Shanghai, and to explore its influencing factors. MethodsA two-way cohort study was used to observe the incidence of stroke in a dynamic cohort of14 743 community-based T2DM patients who were enrolled for management from January 2016 to December 2018 in Hongkou District, Shanghai. All the research subjects were followed up for 3 years to observe the stroke occurrence. Outcome events were retrospectively collected from the Shanghai Stroke and Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry Reporting Information System and the Cause of Death Registry System, and information on stroke onset and verification of past medical history were collected by family physicians through clinic follow-up, home follow-up, and telephone follow-up. Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify the risk factors of stroke in TDM2 patients, and the hazard ratio (HR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. ResultsAfter a mean follow up of 3.5 years, the standardized incidence of stroke in patients with T2DM was 8.65‰, and the risk of standardized incidence was 3.50 (95%CI: 3.26‒3.77) compared with that of the total national population. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that age (HR=1.18, 95%CI: 1.13‒1.23), being female (HR=1.14, 95%CI: 1.01‒1.29), physical activity <600 metabolic equivalent (MET)·min·week^-1 (HR=1.24, 95%CI: 1.06‒1.44), substandard of HbA1c control (HR=1.16, 95%CI: 1.03‒1.30), occasional smoker(HR=1.23, 95%CI: 1.04‒1.45), and those who took insulin therapy (HR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.11‒1.66) were associated with an increased risk of stroke, while those received contracted services from family doctors were associated with a decreased risk of stroke(HR=0.78, 95%CI: 0.71‒0.88). ConclusionCommunity T2DM population in Shanghai has a high risk of stroke. It is necessary to continue to explore the positive role of family doctor contract service management model, strengthen individualized exercise, smoking cessation and other lifestyle interventions, and strictly control blood glucose as soon as one can to delay or avoid the occurrence of complications.

OBJECTIVE: To review the role and research progress of mechanotransduction signaling pathway in distraction osteogenesis, so as to provide theoretical basis and reference for clinical treatment. METHODS: The role and research progress of mechanotransduction signaling pathway in distraction osteogenesis were summarized by extensive review of relevant literature at home and abroad. RESULTS: The mechanotransduction signaling pathway plays a central role of "sensation-transformation-execution" in distraction osteogenesis, and activates a series of molecular mechanisms to promote the regeneration and remodeling of bone tissue by integrating external mechanical signals. Mechanical stimuli are converted into mechanotransduction signals through the perception of integrins, Piezo1 ion channels and bone cell networks. Activate downstream molecules are transduce through signal pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin, transforming growth factor β/bone morphogenetic protein-Smad, mitogen-activated protein kinase, protein kinase Hippo-Yes-associated protein/transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/ protein kinase B, so as to achieve the effects of promoting osteoblasts proliferation, accelerating endochondral ossification, regulating bone resorption and the like, thereby promoting the regeneration of new bone in the distraction area. The study of mechanotransduction signaling pathways in distraction osteogenesis is expected to optimize the mechanical parameters of distraction osteogenesis and provide targeted intervention strategies for accelerating new bone regeneration and mineralization in the distraction zone. However, the specific mechanism of mechanotransduction signaling pathway in distraction osteogenesis remains to be further elucidated, and artificial intelligence and multi-omics analysis may be the future development direction of mechanotransduction signaling pathway. CONCLUSION In distraction osteogenesis, mechanotransduction signal transduction is the core mechanism of bone regeneration in the distraction zone, which regulates cell behavior and tissue regeneration by converting mechanical stimulation into biochemical signals.

ObjectiveTo analyze the incidence， recovery rate and associated factors of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） among residents aged 65 years old and above in Xinqiao Community of Songjiang， Shanghai， and to provide basic data for further efficient community management. MethodsData of annual geriatric physical examination program for residents aged 65 and above were collected in Xinqiao Community， Songjiang from 2016 to 2022. Those residents who participated twice or more were included in this analysis. Data were collated into longitudinal form. For each participant， data of the first physical examination was used as baseline， and each subsequent examination was taken as follow-up. Incidence and recovery rate of NAFLD were calculated. Cox proportional hazard models were used to explore the associated factors and their changes with the onset and recovery of NAFLD. ResultsDuring the study period， a total of 11 983 residents participated in physical examinations， of which 8 644 participated twice or more， and 8 154 had no history of excessive alcohol consumption. B-ultrasound showed that there were 5 267 residents without NAFLD and 2 887 with NAFLD at baseline. After a median follow-up of 3.3 years， the incidence density of NAFLD in this population was estimated to be 11.5 per 100 person-years， and the recovery density was 23.4 per 100 person-years. The incidence density of NAFLD was negatively associated with age， and positively associated with baseline BMI， abdominal obesity， high fasting blood glucose， and high triglycerides. The recovery density was negatively associated with baseline BMI and abdominal obesity. Compared with those with normal BMI at both baseline and follow-up， those with persistent obesity showed the highest risk of NAFLD （males： HR： 3.19， 95%CI： 2.16-4.70； females： HR： 3.34， 95%CI： 2.46-4.54） and the lowest potential of recovery （males： HR： 0.58， 95%CI： 0.42-0.82； females： HR： 0.58， 95%CI： 0.44-0.77）. Persistently high triglycerides were also associated with a higher risk of developing the disease. ConclusionResidents aged 65 years old and above in Xinqiao， Shanghai had a higher incidence and recovery rate of NAFLD. Women， being obese and having hyperlipidemia are at a higher risk for the development and persistence of NAFLD.

Objective To investigate the effects of prolonged low-dose neutron-γ radiation on peripheral blood lymphocytes of logging workers. Methods The health information of workers in a logging company was collected by on-site blood sample collection and questionnaire survey. Individual doses of γ and neutron radiation were recorded using LiF elements and CR-39, respectively. Lymphocyte count in peripheral blood was measured by blood cytometer. Cell cycle and cyclins were detected by flow cytometry. Results The annual dose of some logging workers exceeded 5 mSv. Lymphocyte counts showed a difference of 15% between the group exposed to the lowest annual dose of 0–1 mSv (mean: 2.45 × 10⁹/L) and the group exposed to the highest annual dose of 5–25 mSv (mean: 2.08 × 10⁹/L). In comparison to pre-shift workers, logging workers exhibited a G1-phase arrest in the lymphocyte cycle, along with increased expression of cyclins p21 and CDK2. Conclusion Prolonged exposure to low-dose neutron-γ radiation leads to reduced lymphocyte counts as well as changes in lymphocyte cycle and cyclin expression.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and mortality of dementia and assess the impact of geriatric syndromes (GS) on the risk for dementia and death in elderly population in Beijing.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the elderly population aged ≥65 years and selected by a multi-stage sampling in Beijing during 2013-2015. Cognitive function was screened using the Chinese Revised Version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Then, neurological examination and psychiatric assessment were performed for those with the MMSE score lower than the cut-off value. The information about GS prevalence was also collected. The study also collected death records for all individuals from baseline until December 31, 2019. Based on the age and gender distribution from Beijing data of the 2010 Six th National Population Census, the dementia prevalence in the study population was directly standardized. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association of different forms of dementia with GS, and Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate the hazard ratio ( HR) and 95% CI of death. Results:During 2013-2015, a total of 2 935 individuals completed dementia assessments, of which 167 were diagnosed with dementia. The standardized prevalence of dementia was 5.9% (95% CI: 5.0%-17.4%). The individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) accounted for 58.7% and 28.1% of total individuals with dementia, respectively. Aging, lower education level, urinary incontinence, and fall were risk factors for AD, while disability of activity of daily life dependence, hypertension, and stroke were found to be risk factors for VaD. After a median follow-up of 5.44 person-years, 399 deaths were recorded. The 5-year mortality risk was 2.87 (95% CI: 1.92-4.17) times and 4.93 (95% CI: 3.23-7.53) times higher for the elderly individuals with AD and VaD, respectively, compared to non-demented individuals. After adjusting for demographic, GS, and cardiovascular risk factors, the mortality risk in the elderly individuals with AD showed no significant difference compared with non-demented individuals ( HR=1.32, 95% CI: 0.89-1.97), while the mortality risk in those with VaD was 2.46 (95% CI: 1.49-4.05) times higher than that in non-demented individuals. Conclusions:The prevalence of dementia in Beijing increased significantly in the context of population aging, especially the prevalence of AD. The presence of GS increased the risks for AD and VaD, as well as the risk for death. Close attention needs to be paid to GS management in dementia prevention in elderly population.

bstract: Objective To elucidate the distribution characteristics of mosquito species and the population genetic diversity of important mosquito species in the Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve, with the aim of providing a scientific basis for the prevention and control of mosquito-borne diseases in the region. Methods Within Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve 2022- 2023, 16 sampling sites were selected, where larvae were collected using the pipette method and adult mosquitoes were collected using the mosquito trap lamp method. Mosquito species identification was accomplished by integrating morphological characteristics and molecular identification techniques based on CO Ⅰ and CO Ⅱ gene sequences. Software tools such as ClustalX, DnaSP v5.0, and Network v4.6.1.0 were utilized to analyze the genetic differentiation (Fst), gene flow (Nm) among populations of Aedes japonicus, Aedes albopictus and Armigeres subalbatus. Results The mosquito specimens collected from the Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve were identified as 30 species belonging to 8 genera within the Culicidae family. Among them, there were 10 species of Aedes, 13 species of Culex, 1 species each of Armigeres, Orthopodomyia, Uranotaenia, Tripyeroides, and Anopheles, and 2 species of Toxorhynchites. Analysis of the genetic structure of important mosquito populations showed that the haplotype diversity index (Hd) of Ae. japonicus was 0.994 7, with a generally moderate degree of differentiation between populations and a higher degree of genetic differentiation between populations 6 and 12; Aedeslbopictus had a haplotype diversity index of 0.634 0, with significant genetic differentiation between populations 1 and 2 compared to other groups; Armigeres subalbatus had a haplotype diversity index of 0.703 3, with substantial genetic differentiation and limited gene flow between population 2 and populations 3, 4, 6, and 7. Conclusions The mosquito species are rich in Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve. A comprehensive survey of the composition and distribution of mosquito populations was carried out, and the characteristics of the population genetic structure of the important species of Ae. japonicus, Ae. Albopictus, and Ar. subalbatus populations were analyzed, providing valuable scientific data reference for local mosquito-borne ecological research and disease prevention and control.

Objective:To explore the impact of early and late antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) on treatment options and allograft outcomes after kidney transplantation (KT).Methods:From January 2013 to December 2022, the study retrospectively enrolled 141 KT allograft recipients receiving allograft biopsy and diagnosed as AMR according to the Banff 2019 criteria. Recipients with a diagnosis of AMR within 30 days post-KT were classified into early AMR group (n=19) while the remainders assigned as late AMR group (n=122). The outcome endpoints included recipient survival rate, death-censored graft survival rate, follow-up estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and immunodominant donor-specific antibody (DSA) intensity. Wilcoxon's test was utilized for assessing the differences in eGFR and DSA intensity while Kaplan-Meier curve and Log-rank test were employed for evaluating graft survival impact. Treatment regimens for AMR were collected and categorized.Results:The median follow-up duration was 2.6(1.2, 5.2) year. No graft failure was noted in early AMR group while 44 recipients in late AMR group experienced graft failure, with 34 cases (77.2%) due to AMR progression. The 5-year death-censored graft survival rate was significantly better in early AMR group than that in late AMR group [100% vs 60.1%(50.5%, 71.6%), P=0.002]. The one-year change in eGFR for early AMR group was significantly superior to that of late AMR group [19.3(-2.6, 38.1) vs -3.3(-14.0, 5.4), P=0.001]. One-year mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of early AMR group was 1 158(401.5, 3 126.5). It was significantly lower than that when diagnosed with early AMR [3 120.5(2 392.8, 9 340.0)] and one-year MFI of late AMR group [8 094(2 251.5, 13 560.5)] ( P=0.005, P<0.001). Early AMR group primarily received standard treatment (3/19, 15.8%) and regimens centered on rituximab and/or bortezomib (7/19, 43.8%). Late AMR group mainly received standard (16/122, 13.1%) or intensified regimens (9/122, 7.4%) and regimens focused upon rituximab and/or bortezomib (32/122, 26.2%) and MP monotherapy (21/122, 17.2%). Conclusion:The outcome for early AMR is significantly better than that for late AMR. For early AMR, early and robust immunosuppression is recommended. For late AMR, early detection and timely treatment are crucial and individualized strategies should be implemented.
