OBJECTIVE To study the correlation between SLCO1B1 (521T>C and 388A>G) gene polymorphisms and the efficacy and safety of rosuvastatin. METHODS Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, PharmGKB, CNKI database and Wanfang database, the studies about the effects of 521T>C and 388A>G gene polymorphisms on the efficacy and safety of rosuvastatin were collected during the inception to Dec. 2023. The included data were analyzed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 16 studies were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that 521T>C gene polymorphism was significantly correlated with the efficacy of rosuvastatin. In the dominant gene model, compared with TT genotype, CC+TC genotype significantly improved the efficacy of rosuvastatin in raising high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) [MD=2.38, 95%CI(0.61,4.16), P=0.009 0]. In the homozygous gene model, compared with TT genotype, CC genotype significantly improved the efficacy of rosuvastatin in reducing total cholesterol [MD=-7.50,95%CI(-13.05, -1.95), P=0.008 0]. In heterozygous gene model, compared with TT genotype, TC genotype significantly improved rosuvastatin in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) [MD=-5.14, 95%CI(-9.74, -0.53), P=0.03] and increasing HDL-C [MD=5.67, 95%CI 232102311200) (2.61, 8.73), P=0.000 3]. 388A>G gene polymorphism was also significantly correlated with the efficacy of rosuvastatin. In dominant or homozygous gene models, compared with AA E-mail:dushuzhang911@163.com genotype, GG+AG genotype [MD=-6.88, 95%CI (-7.46,-6.30),P<0.000 1] or GG genotype [MD=-9.23, 95%CI(-9.41, 9.04), P<0.000 1] significantly improved the efficacy of rosuvastatin in lowering LDL-C. In the heterozygous gene model, compared with AA genotype, AG genotype significantly improved the efficacy of rosuvastatin in lowering LDL-C [MD=-3.00, 95%CI(-3.19, -2.82), P<0.000 1], total cholesterol [MD=-5.80, 95%CI(-6.00, -5.59), P<0.000 1] and triglyceride [MD=-11.79, 95%CI(-19.57, -4.02), P=0.003 0]. In the recessive gene model, compared with AA+AG genotype, GG genotype significantly improved the therapeutic efficacy of rosuvastatin in reducing LDL-C[MD=-4.31, 95%CI(-8.47, -0.14), P=0.040 0] and elevating HDL-C [MD=4.49, 95%CI (2.20, 6.77), P=0.000 1]. Under 4 gene models, there was a significant correlation between 521T>C gene polymorphism and rosuvastatin-related ADR probability (P<0.05), but no significant correlation was found in 388A>G gene polymorphism (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The polymorphism of 521T>C gene is significantly related to the efficacy and safety of rosuvastatin in lowering lipid, and the C allele may be one of the factors leading to the increase of rosuvastatin in lipid-lowering efficacy and ADR. 388A> G gene polymorphism is significantly associated with the lipid-lowering efficacy of rosuvastatin, but not with its safety.

OBJECTIVE To construct an evaluation index system for the effectiveness of cough and wheeze pharmaceutical care clinic (CWPC) among asthma patients, and to provide assessment tools and a theoretical basis for improving the control level of asthma patients and standardizing pharmaceutical care. METHODS Literature analysis and semi-structured interviews were used to establish the evaluation index system for the effectiveness of CWPC among asthma patients. Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of expert correspondence consultation, and the index weights were determined by the analytic hierarchy process. The reliability and validity of the constructed index system were analyzed by questionnaire. RESULTS Totally 29 experts from three disciplines of medicine, pharmacy and nursing were selected from the third-grade class A hospitals in Henan province. After two rounds of expert correspondence consultation, the effectiveness evaluation index system of CWPC asthma patients (including 9 sub- dimensions, such as lung function, symptoms; 35 measurement items, such as wheezing and respiratory rate) was finally determined from three core dimensions of structure level, function level and literacy management level, and the weight value of each dimension index was determined. The results of the reliability and validity analysis confirmed the scientific rationality of the index system. CONCLUSIONS The constructed CWPC effectiveness evaluation index system for asthma patients has a high degree of recognition, reliability and validity, and can be used as a measurement tool for the effectiveness evaluation of asthma patients.

Background As a complex organic pollutant, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure shares the common exposure characteristics of multiple hydroxyl metabolites. Most studies have analyzed independent effect of each PAHs metabolite and have adjusted for the potential confounding effects induced by other metabolites concomitantly, without considering possible interactions among them. Proper statistical methods are needed to study their toxic effects. Objective To explore the applicability of logistic regression, weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression, and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) in evaluating the correlation between mixed exposures to exogenous chemicals and health outcomes, compare the advantages and limitations of the three models, and propose analytical strategies for evaluating the health effects of mixed chemical exposure for application in the analysis of the association between PAHs exposure and cognition. Methods Urine samples were collected of workers from a coke oven plant and a water treatment plant in Shanxi Province, who participated in their routine employee healthexamination. Mono-hydroxylated PAHs were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). A cut-off value of MoCA less than 26 was considered mild cognitive impairment (MCI). According to a predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 1 051 cases were included in the final data analysis. Logistic regression, WQS regression, and BKMR were used to analyze the relationship between PAHs metabolites and MCI. Results The prevalence rate of reporting MCI among the 1 051 workers was 21.7% (228/1 051). The concentration of 2-hydroxynathalene (2-OHNAP) was the highest among the 11 PAHs metabolites with a median concentration of 0.30 μg·L−1, followed by 9-hydroxyphenanthrene (9-OHPHE) (0.26 μg·L−1). There were significant differences between the two groups in 2-OHNAP, 1-hydroxynaphthalene (1-OHNAP), 2-hydroxyfluorene (2-OHFLU), 9-OHPHE, 1-hydroxyphenanthrene (1-OHPHE), and 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHPYR) (all Ps<0.05). In the logistic regression, 2-OHNAP and 2-OHPHE were associated with MCI, and the OR (95%CI) for reporting MCI was 1.28 (1.01-1.67) and 1.27 (1.00-1.72) for each 10-fold increase in 2-OHNAP and 2-OHPHE concentrations, respectively. In the WQS regression analysis, the WQS index was positively correlated with the prevalence rate of reporting MCI (OR=1.37, 95%CI: 1.10-1.72). In the BKMR analysis, compared with the median exposure levels of all chemicals, the overall effect was statistically significant when all PAHs metabolites concentrations were at or above their 30th percentile; when all exposures were at the 75th percentile, the risk of reporting MCI increased by 6%. Conclusion Based on the results of these three models, 2-OHNAP and 2-OHPHE are the most important factors related to cognitive. It is recommended to use a combination of traditional logistic regression and either WQS or BKMR to study the association between PAHs and MCI.

Background::Although existing mycological tests (bronchoalveolar lavage [BAL] galactomannan [GM], serum GM, serum (1,3)-β-D-glucan [BDG], and fungal culture) are widely used for diagnosing invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in non-hematological patients with respiratory diseases, their clinical utility in this large population is actually unclear. We aimed to resolve this clinical uncertainty by evaluating the diagnostic accuracy and utility of existing tests and explore the efficacy of novel sputum-based Aspergillus assays. Methods::Existing tests were assessed in a prospective and consecutive cohort of patients with respiratory diseases in West China Hospital between 2016 and 2019 while novel sputum assays (especially sputum GM and Aspergillus-specific lateral-flow device [LFD]) in a case-controlled subcohort. IPA was defined according to the modified European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Mycoses Study Group criteria. Sensitivity and specificity were computed for each test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed. Results::The entire cohort included 3530 admissions (proven/probable IPA = 66, no IPA = 3464) and the subcohort included 127 admissions (proven/probable IPA = 38, no IPA = 89). Sensitivity of BAL GM (≥1.0 optical density index [ODI]: 86% [24/28]) was substantially higher than that of serum GM (≥0.5 ODI: 38% [39/102]) ( χ2 = 19.83, P < 0.001), serum BDG (≥70 pg/mL: 33% [31/95]) ( χ2 = 24.65, P < 0.001), and fungal culture (33% [84/253]) ( χ2 = 29.38, P < 0.001). Specificity varied between BAL GM (≥1.0 ODI: 94% [377/402]), serum GM (≥0.5 ODI: 95% [2130/2248]), BDG (89% [1878/2106]), and culture (98% [4936/5055]). Sputum GM (≥2.0 ODI) had similar sensitivity (84% [32/38]) (Fisher’s exact P = 1.000) to and slightly lower specificity (87% [77/89]) ( χ2 = 5.52, P = 0.019) than BAL GM (≥1.0 ODI). Area under the ROC curve values were comparable between sputum GM (0.883 [0.812-0.953]) and BAL GM (0.901 [0.824-0.977]) ( P = 0.734). Sputum LFD had similar specificity (91% [81/89]) ( χ2 = 0.89, P = 0.345) to and lower sensitivity (63% [24/38]) ( χ2 = 4.14, P = 0.042) than BAL GM (≥1.0 ODI), but significantly higher sensitivity than serum GM (≥0.5 ODI) ( χ2 = 6.95, P = 0.008), BDG ( χ2 = 10.43, P = 0.001), and fungal culture ( χ2 = 12.70, P < 0.001). Conclusions::Serum GM, serum BDG, and fungal culture lack sufficient sensitivity for diagnosing IPA in respiratory patients. Sputum GM and LFD assays hold promise as rapid, sensitive, and non-invasive alternatives to the BAL GM test.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of HBsAg on the expression of interferon-α (IFN-α) in peripheral blood plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) induced by the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway activated by cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP). MethodPeripheral venous blood was collected from healthy adults and the patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection who attended the outpatient service or were hospitalized in Department of Infectious Diseases, The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, from February to December 2016, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated and extracted. After the STING agonist cGAMP was added to PBMCs, ELISA was used to measure the levels of IFN-α, interferon-β, and tumor necrosis factor-α in supernatant. PBMCs from healthy adults were pre-incubated with HBsAg and then stimulated by cGAMP, and supernatant was collected to measure IFN-α. The magnetic-activated cell sorting method was used to remove pDCs from PBMCs, and after culture with cGAMP, ELISA was used to measure the level of IFN-α in supernatant. PBMCs from healthy adults were stimulated by HBsAg and/or cGAMP, and then flow cytometry was used to measure the frequency of pDCs. The independent samples t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups. ResultsPBMCs from the patients with chronic HBV infection stimulated by cGAMP in vitro had a significantly lower level of IFN-α than healthy controls (469.72±18.95 vs 599.90±84.06, t=4.868, P=0.001). PBMCs from healthy adults co-cultured with HBsAg and stimulated by cGAMP had a significantly lower level of IFN-α than those in the non-HBsAg group (448.5±52.0 vs 571.0±30.8, t=4.500, P=0.011). Compared with PBMCs containing pDCs, PBMCs without pDCs stimulated by cGAMP had a significant reduction in the level of IFN-α (164.50±40.73 vs 339.50±35.33, t=6.482, P=0.001). Compared with PBMCs from healthy adults stimulated by cGAMP, PBMCs pre-incubated with HBsAg and then stimulated by cGAMP had a significant reduction in the frequency of pDCs (0.12%±0.04% vs 0.24%±0.04%, t=5.176, P=0.014). ConclusionHBsAg can inhibit the expression of IFN-α induced by the STING pathway in pDCs activated by cGAMP.

Abstract
Nowadays, sports APPs are gradually diversifying based on the rapid development of the Internet and artificial intelligence. Various sports apps are active in the public s field of vision. This article reviewed the research progress of college students used of sports APP on their training habits. The result found that proper use of sports APP could promote college students sports behavior and sports habits. The use of such apps could help college students improve their body shape physical function, but it was difficult to maintain the effect after the end of the athletic behavior. It is recommended that schools use APPs to form teacher and student sports communication communities and conduct different types of sports challenges. At the same time, the government enacts college and personal reward systems to encourage sport participation among students, thereby increasing the intention to continue using sports APPs. More longitudinal follow up researches are expected to evaluate effectiveness of different sports APPs on sport habit formulation.

Objective:To explore the effect of sports training guidance based on Internet platform on the limb function and quality of life in home rehabilitation of stroke hemiplegic patients.Methods:Eighty patients with stroke and hemiplegia admitted to Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from June 2018 to December 2019 were selected and divided into observation group and control group with 40 cases in each group by random digits table method. The control group was given routine rehabilitation training. In addition to the regular rehabilitation training, the observation group was supplemented with home rehabilitation based on the WeChat platform for modified constraint-induced movement therapy. The limb motor function Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) score, Upper Extremity Function Test (UEFT) score, Stroke-Specific Quality of Life scale (SS-QOL) score before and after intervention, and patients′ satisfaction and cares′ satisfaction score were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the score of FMA, UEFT, SS-QOL before intervention between the two groups( P>0.05). After discharge, the FMA score, UEFT score and physical function, physiological function, mental health, social function of SS-QOL score were (68.87±6.64),(72.38±7.33), (35.28±4.13), (36.55±4.23), (37.22±3.84), (38.23±3.44) points in the observation group and (55.25±6.20), (61.24±6.47), (28.72±4.56), (30.85±5.30), (31.28±4.63), (31.02±5.16) points in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant between the two groups( t values were 5.316-9.482, P<0.01). During the nursing period, the patients′ satisfaction and cares′ satisfaction score were 92.50%(37/40), 87.50%(35/40) in the observation group and 72.50%(29/40), 67.50%(27/40) in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant between the two groups( χ 2 values were 5.541, 4.588, P<0.05). Conclusions:The home rehabilitation based on the Internet platform for modified constraint-induced movement therapy helps to promote the recovery of limb motor function in stroke hemiplegic patients, improve the nursing satisfaction of patients and their families, and has a positive effect on improving the quality of life of patients.
