Objective:To provide evidence-based support and policy recommendations for improving the prevention and management of stable angina pectoris(SAP)within the current government chronic disease control system,based on the theory of Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions(ACSCs).Methods:A total of 104 066 hospitalized cases of angina pectoris were included.Using the SHA 2011 framework for total health expenditure analysis,factors influencing avoidable hospitalization for SAP were identified.Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the associations between these factors and hospitalization costs for SAP.Results:Avoidable hospitalizations were predominantly concentrated in tertiary hospitals(82.01％),where hospitalization costs were significantly higher than those in primary healthcare institutions.Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that insurance type had a significant effect on hospitalization costs,and patients treated in tertiary hospitals were more likely to incur high medical expenses.Conclusions:The current SAP prevention and treatment system faces challenges such as insufficient capacity of primary healthcare,resource concentration in tertiary hospitals,and the impact of medical insurance policies on hospital choice.It is recommended to strengthen primary healthcare services and include SAP in chronic disease management programs to reduce unnecessary hospitalizations.Additionally,expanding insurance coverage could help reduce the risk of catastrophic health expenditure among self-paying patients.

Innate immune system serves as the primary defense mechanism against pathogen infections,recognition of structural components of pathogens is referred to as pathogen-associated molecular patterns(PAMPs).Toll-like receptors(TLRs)are a family of transmembrane receptors that can identify PAMPs,which interact with myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88)and activate NF-κB dimerization,leading to the release of downstream inflammatory factors and ultimately triggering the adaptive immune system.Conse-quently,TLRs are regarded as adapters that regulate the transition from innate immunity to adaptive immunity.TLR/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway plays a crucial role in inflammatory diseases,infectious diseases and tumor immunity.This review article aims to explore the regulatory function of TLR/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway in host responses to viral,bacterial,and other microbial in-fections,providing novel insights into the immune response during the process of infection control.

Objective:To analyze the registration status of clinical trials related to contraceptives based on the data of World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP), so as to understand the situation of contraceptives development, and provide reference for improving the quality of clinical trials.Methods:All records in the database of ICTRP before January 1, 2025 was researched to screen out contraceptives clinical trials, and the registration time, registration platform, regional distribution, trial design and research content were analyzed.Results:A total of 206 clinical trials related to contraceptives were included. The projects were mainly carried out in the United States, Germany, and India. About 95.63% (197/206) of the study subjects were women of reproductive age. The　main　type　of　study　was　intervention [89.32% (184/206)], among which random trials accounted for 53.26% (98/184), and parallel group trials were the most common [82.65% (81/98)]. Over 64.56% (133/206) of the trials were indicated with open-label. Most of the clinical trials were in phase Ⅲ [47.57% (98/206)] and phase Ⅳ [16.50% (34/206)]. The interventions in female studies were mainly in three aspects: oral contraceptive [42.64% (84/197)], intrauterine delivery [15.23% (30/197)], and vaginal delivery [15.23% (30/197)], and the primary outcome included pregnancy rate [54.82% (108/197)], adverse drug reactions [13.20% (26/197)], ovulation inhibition [8.63% (17/197)], and vaginal infection [4.06% (8/197)].Conclusion:The　clinical　trials　of contraceptives were unevenly distributed, the research types were mainly randomized interventional trials, the included participants were mainly women of reproductive age, the intervention measures were mostly oral contraceptive, intrauterine delivery and vaginal delivery.

Objective To screen specific antibodies to Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)in serum,and establish antibody panels and discrimination models for different infection status,which are non-invasive and suitable for gastric cancer screening in Chinese population.Methods A total of 300 subjects with different H.pylori statuses were enrolled depending on an endoscopy screening cohort in a high-risk area of gastric cancer,including current,past,and negative infections.The recomLine Helicobacter IgG 2.0 immunoblotting assay was used to analyze and screen 10 H.pylori specific antibodies in serum samples.Results A total of nine antibody reactivity against CagA,VacA,GroEL,FliD,HpaA,gGT,HtrA,NapA,and CtkA showed significant differences among different H.pylori infection status groups(all P＜0.05).A panel comprising the nine antibodies distinguished exposure subjects to H.pylori(current and past infections)from negatives,with an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.935(95%CI:0.907-0.963).The combination of four antibodies(CagA,GroEL,FliD,and gGT)may help to discriminate current and past infection subjects,with an AUC of 0.927(95%CI:0.891-0.964).Conclusion The antibody panels and discriminant models for H.pylori infection status established in the present study may provide a potential and non-invasive screening method for the development of precise gastric cancer prevention strategies.

Objective To translate the Context Assessment for Community Health(COACH)scale into Chinese,thereby providing a standardized measurement tool for context assessment in clinical evidence-based practice.Methods The scale was translated following the Brislin translation model,ultimately forming the Chinese version of the COACH scale.Using convenience sampling,584 healthcare professionals were recruited from 3 tertiary hospitals in Jiangxi,Henan,and Liaoning provinces and 2 community hospitals in Liaoning province from May to September 2024 to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale.In October 2024,the Chinese version of COACH was applied to 44 healthcare professionals in a hypertension specialist ward of a provincial tertiary hospital.Results Of the 584 distributed questionnaires,519 valid questionnaires were collected(the effective response rate of 88.87％).The Chinese version consists of 7 dimensions with 42 items.The overall Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.975;the McDonald's omega coefficient was 0.979;split-half reliability was 0.808,and the test-retest reliability was 0.917.The scale-content validity index/average was 0.950,and the scale-content validity index/universal agreement was 0.980,with item-content validity index ranging from 0.775 to 1.000.Exploratory factor analysis extracted 7 factors,accounting for 79.260％of the cumulative variance,with factor loadings ranging from 0.569 to 0.954.Confirmatory factor analysis showed good model fit.The preliminary application results showed that the total score of the scale was 185.18±17.82.The correlation coefficients between dimensions and total score ranged from 0.116 to 0.905.Conclusion The Chinese version of the COACH scale demonstrates good reliability and validity,making it suitable as a context measurement tool for implementation research at different stages in clinical and public health settings.

Objective:To carry out a scoping review on eHealth literacy in patients with cardiovascular disease to sort out eHealth literacy from four aspects of concepts, assessment tools, influencing factors and interventions, with a view to informing future research and practice.Methods:Based on Arksey and O'Malley's framework for reporting scoping reviews, the literature on eHealth literacy in patients with cardiovascular disease was systematically searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, Wanfang Data, and China Biomedical Database. The search period was from database establishment to May 3, 2024. Literature was screened, summarized and analyzed.Results:A total of 23 papers were included. The concepts and theoretical frameworks on eHealth literacy had their own focus, but no consensus was reached. The most commonly used tool to assess eHealth literacy in patients with cardiovascular disease was the eHealth Literacy Scale. The influencing factors included four aspects of demographic sociological and disease-related factors, psycho-cognitive factors, eHealth literacy knowledge and skills, and other factors. Interventions to improve eHealth literacy among patients with cardiovascular disease primarily included eHealth literacy training and use of portal-related digital toolkit.Conclusions:Currently there is no specific assessment tool for eHealth literacy for cardiovascular disease patients. In the future, eHealth literacy assessment tools need to be revised and improved according to the population characteristics and cultural background of cardiovascular disease patients. E-health literacy among patients with cardiovascular disease is at a moderately low level and is influenced by multiple factors. The influencing factors can be analyzed in depth through large-sample cross-sectional studies or longitudinal studies, and then a variety of intervention programs can be constructed at home or in the community with the help of multimedia and apps, with a view to improving the e-health literacy of patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Objective:To investigate the effect of intradialytic cerebral blood flow (CBF) fluctuation on cognitive decline in middle-aged and elderly maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:It was a prospective cohort study. MHD patients aged ≥50 years from Beijing Shijitan Hospital were enrolled from January 2023 to June 2023. Middle cerebral artery mean flow velocity (MFV) was serially monitored via transcranial Doppler (TCD) during dialysis sessions. Cognitive function was assessed at baseline and after 12-month follow-up using standardized neuropsychological tests: montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), auditory verbal learning test (AVLT 5), complex figure test (CFT), trail making test-B (TMT-B), Stroop color and word test (SCWT), and symbol digit modalities test (SDMT). ΔMFV was calculated as pre-to-post dialysis MFV difference. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyze the association of ΔMFV and cognition.Results:A total of 121 MHD patients were recruited with an age of (63.63±8.44) years. There were 97 males (80.2%), and the dialysis vintage was (55.08±54.73) months. Significant intradialytic MFV reductions were observed ( P<0.05). At 12 months, cognitive decline manifested in global cognition (MoCA), memory (CFT-memory), executive function (TMT-B, SCWT-C, SCWT-T), attention (SDMT), visuospatial ability (CFT-copy)(all P<0.05). Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed ΔMFV independently predicted declines in: MoCA ( B=0.066, 95% CI 0.018-0.113, P=0.007), AVLT5 ( B=0.050, 95% CI 0.004-0.097, P=0.035), TMT-B ( B=-1.955, 95% CI -3.453--0.457, P=0.011), SCWT-C ( B=0.298, 95% CI 0.112-0.484, P=0.002), SCWT-T ( B=-1.371, 95% CI -2.303--0.439, P=0.004). Conclusions:Hemodialysis induces acute CBF reductions detectable by TCD. Cumulative intradialytic CBF fluctuations may accelerate cognitive deterioration in middle-aged and elderly MHD populations, particularly affecting memory and executive domains.

Objective:To identify proteins associated with the risk of gastric cancer (GC) and build a protein risk score for risk prediction of GC based on proteomic analysis.Methods:Gastric mucosal proteomics data were used to construct Dataset One, comprising 94 GC cases and 230 individuals with different stages of gastric mucosal lesions. The GC cases were recruited from the National Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Early Detection (UGCED) Program in Linqu, Shandong Province, as well as clinical patients from the Fifth Medical Center, General Hospital of PLA, and Peking University Cancer Hospital. Non-cancer individuals were enrolled from the National UGCED Program in Linqu and community screening programs at the Dongfang Hospital. All participants were pathologically confirmed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to identify gastric mucosal proteins significantly associated with GC risk. Subsequently, plasma proteomics data from the UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project (UKB-PPP) were used to construct Dataset Two, including 40 baseline GC cases and 47 933 non-cancer individuals, and Dataset Three, comprising 138 incident GC cases and 47 933 non-cancer individuals during a prospective follow-up period. In Dataset Two, multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess associations between plasma protein levels and baseline GC risk. In Dataset Three, multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to examine associations with the risk of incident GC. A poly-protein risk score (PRS) was developed using a weighted summation method based on protein effect sizes from Dataset Two. Its associations with GC risk and the progression of gastric mucosal lesions were evaluated using linear regression trend tests.Results:A total of 324, 47 973 and 48 071 participants were included in Datasets One, Two, and Three, respectively. Across the three datasets, the proportions of males and individuals aged>60 years were higher in the GC group than in the non-GC group (all P values<0.05). The follow-up period in Dataset Three had a M ( P 25, P 75) of 14.47 (13.7, 15.2) years, with a median of 7.4 (4.6, 11.3) years for those who progressed to GC. Based on Dataset One, 2 524 tissue-differential proteins associated with GC risk were identified through multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age and sex. Among these, seven proteins were consistently associated with GC risk across tissue and plasma levels in Datasets Two and Three, with consistent directions of association. Five proteins (MRC1, APOL1, BST2, PON2, and GGH) were positively associated with GC risk, while two (GSN and CLEC3B) were negatively associated. Analysis of the PRS based on these seven proteins showed that for each standard deviation increase in the tissue-derived PRS, the risk of GC increased by 6.26 times (95% CI: 4.02-9.75). In Dataset Two, each standard deviation increase in the plasma-derived PRS was associated with a 2.13-fold increase in GC risk (95% CI: 1.68-2.69). In the prospective cohort of Dataset Three, individuals in the high PRS group had a 2.27-fold higher risk of GC compared to the low PRS group (95% CI: 1.50-3.45). Moreover, each standard deviation increase in the plasma PRS was associated with a 57% higher risk of GC ( HR=1.57, 95% CI: 1.34-1.84). Additionally, the tissue-derived PRS showed an increasing trend with the progression of gastric mucosal lesions. Conclusion:The tissue and plasma proteomics identified seven individual proteins that may indicate the risk of developing gastric cancer, showing the potential as biomarkers for aiding in the screening of gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of Sintilimab combined with Endostar injection in the treatment of programmed cell death ligand-1(PD-L1)positive lung squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC)in elderly patients.Methods A total of 94 elderly patients with PD-L1 positive LSCC diagnosed and treated from November 2019 to November 2021 were selected as the research subjects,and they were divided into the observation group(n=47)and the control group(n=47)by random number table method.The observation group was treated with Sintilimab combined with Endostar injection,and the control group was treated with Sintilimab.Twenty-one days constituted one treatment cycle,and they were treated for 3 consecutive cycles.The clinical efficacy and improvement rate of Karnofsky performance status(KPS)score in the two groups were statistically analyzed,as well as the tumor markers[carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),cancer antigen 125(CA125),cytokeratin 19 fragment(CYFRA21-1)],angiogenesis factors[endostatin,insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF),and platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF)],apoptosis factor[B-cell lymphoma-2 gene(Bcl-2),Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax),Livin protein,programmed cell death 5(PDCD5)]before and after treatment.The toxic and side effects during treatment,progression-free survival(PFS)and median survival time at 2-year follow-up were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the objective remission rate and disease control rate of the observation group were higher than those of the control group(P<0.01);after treatment,the improvement rate of KPS score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.01).After treatment,the levels of serum CEA,CA125,and CYFRA21-1 in both groups decreased,and which were lower in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).After treatment,the levels of endostatin increased in both groups,while IGF-1,VEGF,bFGF,and PDGF decreased;the levels of endostatin in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,while the levels of IGF-1,VEGF,bFGF,and PDGF were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).After treatment,the levels of Bcl-2 and Livin decreased in both groups,while Bax and PDCD5 increased;the levels of Bcl-2 and Livin in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,while the levels of Bax and PDCD5 were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).There was no significant difference in toxic and side effects between the two groups during treatment(P>0.05).The 2-year survival rate and median survival time of the observation group were higher or longer than those of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The treatment of PD-L1 positive LSCC in elderly patients with Sintilimab combined with Endostar injection can improve the therapeutic effect and the survival status of patients,inhibit tumor angiogenesis,induce tumor apoptosis,prolong the survival time of patients,and has good safety.
