Background The global number of type 2 diabetes (T2D) cases has been steadily increasing over the past few decades, becoming a major public health issue. Available toxicological research has indicated that ozone (O₃) can lead to oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, thereby causing metabolic changes and the development of T2D. Existing cohort studies on the impact of long-term O₃ exposure on the risk of developing T2D have reached contradictory conclusions, and the results have shown significant heterogeneity. Objective To summarize cohort studies on long-term O₃ exposure and T2D risk, and investigate heterogeneity sources in the association between O₃ and T2D. Methods Cohort studies on O₃ and T2D were searched through PubMed, Embase, and the Web of Science, with the search deadline set for 25 April, 2025. After two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of the included studies, meta-analysis was conducted using Stata 18.0 software. We used a random effects model to calculate the overall relative risk (RR) of the standardized risk estimates and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Additionally, sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, meta-regression, and publication bias testing were performed to explore the sources of heterogeneity in the association between O₃ and T2D. Results In the 8 articles meeting predetermined inclusion criteria, a total of 11 cohort studies involving 54887070 participants were finally included. The results of the meta-analysis indicated that long-term exposure to O₃ was associated with a higher incidence of type 2 diabetes [standardized RR=1.04 (95%CI: 1.01, 1.07), P<0.001, I²=97.3%], and significant heterogeneity existed. The subgroup analysis showed that females (standardized RR=1.08, 95%CI: 1.03, 1.13) and the Asian population (standardized RR=1.09, 95%CI: 1.06, 1.11) were are more susceptible to O₃. The meta-regression model that included study region and average O₃ concentration variables explained 60.33% of the heterogeneity between studies. No significant evidence of publication bias was observed after the funnel plot test, Egger's test (P=0.437), Begg's test (P=0.640), and the trim-and-fill method. Conclusion Long-term exposure to O₃ could increase the risk of developing T2D, with females and Asian populations being particularly sensitive. The heterogeneity in the association between O₃ and T2D can be partly explained by factors such as average O₃ concentration and geographic location.

Currently,antipsychotics work through dopamine or serotonin system,and had limited effect on cognitive function.The hypothesis that the defects in the glutamate transmission and N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor(NMDAR)cause cognitive impairment has received attention,potentially serving as a promising target for improving cognitive function.Relevant pharmacotherapeutic approaches mainly include NMDAR co-agonists,glycine transporter 1(GlyT1)inhibitors,D-amino acid oxidase(DAAO)inhibitors and NMDAR antagonist.Current evidence from research suggests that GlyT1 inhibitors and DAAO inhibitors may be safe and more effective.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of bone metabolism parameters on cardiac autonomic nervous system function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 328 patients with T2DM hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology of Gansu Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled in this study from October 2022 to October 2023.According to the serum 25(OH)D level,all the participants were divided into<10 ng/ml group(n=80),10～20 ng/ml group(n=173),and 20～30 ng/ml group(n=75).Biochemical indicators,bone metabolic parameters,left ventricular mass(LVM)and left ventricular mass index(LVMI)were compared.Time domain indicators ofheart rate variability(HRV)in 24 h holter electrocardiogram,including the global standard deviation of normal sinus RR interval(SDNN),sinus RR interval mean standard deviation(SDANN),and normal continuous sinus RR interval difference root mean square(RMSSD).Meanwhile,adjacent RR interval difference>50 ms as a percentage of the total inter-period(PNN50),HRV triangle index,standard deviation of the difference between the length of the entire adjacent NN interperiod(SDSD),and 24 h holter electrocardiogram HRV time-domain relevant indicators were compared among the three groups.The influence of bone metabolism parameters on cardiac autonomic nervous function and their correlation were analyzed,and the optimal cutting point of cardiac autonomic nervous function was predicted by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results SBP,heart rate(HR),FPG,PWV,PTH and β-CTX in groups of 10 ng/ml,10～20 ng/ml and 20～30 ng/ml decreased in turn(P<0.05),while HDL-C,ABI,25(OH)D,Ca2+and PNN50 decreased.Correlation analysis between Spearman and Pearson showed that 25(OH)D was positively correlated with SDNN,HRV triangle index,PNN50 and rMSSD(P<0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that 25(OH)D,Ca2+and HR were the influencing factors of cardiac autonomic nervous dysfunction in patients with T2DM.The ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the ROC curve of 25(OH)D,Ca2+and HR were 0.791,0.607 and 0.629,respectively,with sensitivity of 73.4%,53.2%and 38.7%,and specificity of 74.0%,93.6%and 81.4%,respectively.Conclusions 25(OH)D is the influencing factor of cardiac autonomic nervous dysfunction in patients with T2DM,and patients with high degree of deficiency are more prone to cardiac autonomic nervous dysfunction.

Objective To investigate the effects of obesity-related indexes on cardiovascular autonomic nervous function in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients.Methods A total of 421 T2DM patients treated in the Department of Endocrinology of Gansu Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled in this study from October 2020 to October 2023.All the patients were divided into simple T2DM group with VFA<100 cm2(n=193)and obese group with VFA≥100 cm2(OB,n=228)according to visceral fat area(VFA).BMI,waist-to-height ratio(WHtR),waist-to-hip ratio(WHR),lipid accumulation index(LAP),visceral fat index(VAI),Chinese visceral fat index(CVAI),tapeness index(CI),body shape index(ABSI),and body roundness index(BRI)were calculated.Time domain parameters of heart rate variability(HRV)in 24 h holter electrocardiogram were recorded,including the global standard deviation(SDNN)of normal sinus RR interval,standard deviation of mean value of sinus RR interval(SDANN),root mean square difference(RMSSD)of normal continuous sinus RR interval.The percentage of adjacent RR interval difference>50 ms in total interval(PNN50),the HRV triangle index,the standard deviation of the difference of the entire adjacent NN interval length(SDSD).Results Compared with T2DM group,the OB group showed an increase in age,weight,BMI,WC,hip circumference(HC),neck circumference(NC),SBP,HbA1c,TG,SUA,CI,WHtR,WHR,VFA,SFA,VAI,LAP,CVAI,and BRI(P<0.05 or P<0.01),while a decrease in HDL-C(P<0.05).The SDNN,SDANN,SDSD,RMSSD,HRV trigonometric index,and PNN50 were lower in OB group than in T2DM group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Spearman correlation analysis showed that SDNN and HRV trigonometric index was negatively correlated with age,DM duration,HR,SBP,PWV,WHtR,TG,SUA,VAI,LAP,BRI,VFA,LAP,and CVAI(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Logistic regression analysis shows that age,VFA,and LAP are influencing factors for cardiac autonomic dysfunction.The analysis of the working characteristic curve of the subjects showed that the area under the curve of VFA,age,and LAP in predicting cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction was 0.680,0.614,and 0.577,with sensitivity of 87.5%,41.7%,and 61.8%,and specificity of 47.3%,73.6%,and 55.6%respectively.Conclusions BMI,HC,NC,WC,TG,SFA,CI,WHtR,WHR,LAP,BRI,VAI,CVAI and VFA are closely related to cardiovascular autonomic nervous function in T2DM patients.As VFA,Ageand LAP increase,the risk of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction increases.

Objective To study the effects of different clearance conditions(equal upper and lower axial clearance,change of upper/lower axial clearance,axial displacement of blades)on efficiency and hemolysis performance of blood pump.Methods The blood pumps under three kinds of clearance conditions were numerically simulated by computational fluid dynamics.Results For efficiency,when the upper and lower axial clearance was equal,the lower axial clearance was unchanged and the upper axial clearance was reduced,the efficiency of blood pump could be improved by 0.85%,1.71%and 2.90%,respectively.While the upper shaft clearance remained unchanged,the lower shaft clearance was decreased by 1.18%.For hemolysis,the increase of the clearance could reduce the hemolysis index(HI)under the first two clearance conditions,while the axial migration of the blade wheel would increase the HI.When the upper axial clearance was unchanged and the lower axial clearance was 0.3 mm,the HI was the largest,which was 8.65×10-4.When the upper and lower axial clearance was 0.7 mm,the HI was the smallest,which was 4.51×10-4.Conclusions Improving blood pump clearance is helpful to optimize the performance of blood pump.This study can provide some references for the design and optimization of interstitial structure of blood pump.

To date, most studies support the combination therapy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) compared to monotherapy in adolescents, adults, and older adults with major depressive disorder. However, the results were inconsistent. This article reviews the efficacy and influencing factors of CBT combined with SSRIs in the treatment of adolescents, adults, and elderly patients with major depressive disorder. It is suggested that the efficacy of this combination therapy is related to the severity of depression, cognitive function, education level, responsiveness to treatment, duration of treatment and end time of treatment, and the shortcomings and prospects of the previous research are put forward.

Objective To investigate the impact of variations in volute cross-sectional area on the flow characteristics and hemolytic performance of centrifugal blood pumps by designing six volute structures.Methods Computational fluid dynamics and the Lagrangian method were used to analyze flow characteristics and predict hemolysis in blood pumps with different volute designs.Results The annular volute pump showed the poorest hydraulic performance,while the hydraulic performance of the S-shaped volute was the best,which was improved by 35.29％compared to that of the annular volute.Some volutes experienced stagnation zones at the helical inlet(0°-90°)and significant backflow at the outlet(270°-360°).The downward concave-shaped volute had the highest hemolysis index(HI),i.e.,9.59×10-4.Meanwhile,the HI of the annular volute was the lowest,which was 71.85％less than the concave-shaped volute.Conclusions Reducing the gradient of the area variation at the helical inlet and outlet can prevent flow stagnation and backflow.A higher HI arises due to the prolonged exposure of red blood cells to high shear stress.This study provides a theoretical basis for designing and optimizing volute structures of centrifugal blood pumps.
