Objective To explore the therapeutic effect and mechanism of electroacupuncture on depressive model mice based on the phosphatase and tensin homolog-induced kinase 1(PINK1)/Parkin pathway.Methods Specific pathogen-free grade male C57BL/6J mice were used.For experiment 1,60 mice were randomly divided into blank,model,sham electroacupuncture,and electroacupuncture groups using the random number table method,with 15 rats per group.For experiment 2,30 mice were randomly divided into normal,cyclosporine A(CsA),and electroacupuncture+CsA groups using the same method,with 10 rats per group.The chronic restraint stress(CRS)was used to establish a depression model.After successful modeling,CRS was continued to maintain model stability.After modeling,1 h before daily CRS stimulation,the electroacupuncture and electroacupuncture+CsA groups received electroacupuncture interventions at the"Baihui"(GV20)and"Zusanli"(ST36)acupoints,using continuous wave stimulation at a frequency of 2 Hz and an intensity of 1 mA for 20 min,once daily for 7 consecutive days.Mice in the sham electroacupuncture group received superficial needling at non-meridian,non-acupoint locations under the axilla 1 h before CRS,with the electroacupuncture device connected but not powered on once a day for 7 consecutive days.Mice in the CsA and electroacupuncture+CsA groups received an intraperitoneal injection of CsA solution(0.2 mg/g)30 min before electroacupuncture intervention,once daily for 7 consecutive days.In experiment 1,depressive-like behavior was assessed using the open field,tail suspension,and sucrose preference tests.The spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents(sEPSC)and spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents(sIPSC)parameters of hippocampal neurons were evaluated using brain slice patch clamp techniques.Western blotting was conducted to measure the expression levels of mitochondrial autophagy-related proteins PINK 1,phosphorylated PINK1(p-PINK1),Parkin,microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ(LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ),ubiquitin-binding protein(p62),and mitochondrial markers,including translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20(TOMM20),heat shock protein 60(HSP 60),and cytochrome c oxidase Ⅳ(COX Ⅳ).Immunofluorescence was used to detect PINK1 protein expression in the CA3 region of the hippocampus.Transmission electron microscopy was used to examine the ultrastructure of mitochondria in hippocampal neurons.On the basis of experiment 1,experiment 2 evaluated depressive-like behavior in mice using sucrose preference,open field,and tail suspension tests;Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of PINK1,p-PINK1,Parkin,LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ,p62,TOMM20,HSP 60,and COX Ⅳ proteins of hippocampus in mice.The mitochondrial ultrastructure was observed in hippocampal neurons using transmission electron microscopy.Results In experiment 1,compared with the blank group,the model and sham electroacupuncture groups exhibited a decrease in sucrose consumption rate,a decrease in the time spent in the center area,a reduced proportion of distance moved in the center area,and an increase in immobility time of tail suspension(P＜0.05).The sEPSC and sIPSC in hippocampal neurons decreased in both amplitude and frequency(P＜0.05).p-PINK1,Parkin,LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ,TOMM20,HSP 60,and COXⅣ expression levels in the hippocampus were reduced,whereas the p62 expression level was increased(P＜0.05).The average fluorescence intensity of PINK1 in the CA3 region of the hippocampus decreased(P＜0.05).The number of healthy mitochondria in hippocampal neurons was reduced,with numerous damaged mitochondrial structures observed.Compared to the model and sham electroacupuncture groups,the electroacupuncture group showed an increased in the time spent in the center area,a higher proportion of distance moved in the center area,and an elevated sucrose consumption rate.In contrast,the immobility time in the tail suspension test decreased(P＜0.05),whereas the amplitude and frequency of sEPSC and sIPSC in hippocampal neurons increased(P＜0.05).p-PINK1,Parkin,LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ,TOMM20,HSP 60,and COXⅣ expression levels in the hippocampus increased,whereas the p62 expression level decreased(P＜0.05).The average fluorescence intensity of PINK1 in the CA3 region of the hippocampus increased(P＜0.05).Additionally,mitochondrial damage in hippocampal neurons was alleviated,and a notable presence of autophagosomes mitophagy lysosomes was observed.In experiment 2,compared with the normal group,the mice in the CsA and electroacupuncture+CsA groups showed a decrease in the time spent in the center area and the proportion of distance moved in the center area,a decrease in sucrose consumption rate,and an increase in the immobility time in the tail suspension test(P＜0.05).p-PINK1,Parkin,LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ,TOMM20,HSP 60,and COX Ⅳ expression levels in the hippocampus decreased,whereas p62 expression increased(P＜0.05).Many damaged mitochondria were observed in hippocampal neurons.Conclusion Electroacupuncture may exert its antidepressant effects by promoting PINK1/Parkin pathway-mediated mitophagy to eliminate damaged mitochondria,thereby restoring the function of hippocampal neurons in depressive model mice.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between serum uric acid-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) and risk of all-cause death or cardiovascular disease (CVD) death among urban and rural elderly in Beijing.Methods:Based on the Beijing Healthy Aging Cohort Study, 9 022 participants with complete baseline data were enrolled, and their survival and death outcomes were followed up. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression model were used to analyze the associations between the UHR level and the risks of all-cause mortality and CVD mortality.Results:As of March 31, 2021, the median follow-up time M( Q1, Q3) was 6.18 (5.36, 6.75) years. There were 1 166 all-deaths, with a death density of 19.26 per 1 000 person-years, and 562 CVD deaths, with a death density of 9.28 per 1 000 person-years. After adjusting sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle factors, multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that the risk of all-cause mortality increased by 3% ( HR=1.03, 95% CI: 1.02-1.04) and the risk of CVD mortality increased by 4% ( HR=1.04, 95% CI: 1.02-1.06) for every 1% increase in UHR. Compared with the T1 group of UHR tertiles, the T3 group had a 42% increase in the risk of all-cause death ( HR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.22-1.66) and a 53% increase in the risk of CVD death ( HR=1.53, 95% CI: 1.21-1.94). Conclusions:The UHR level is significantly associated with the risks of all-cause mortality and CVD mortality among urban and rural older adults in Beijing. The UHR level may be one of the potential predictors of death risk in community-dwelling older adults.

Objective:To compare minimally invasive surgery with traditional open surgery, analyze the current application status of health economic evaluations in the treatment of digestive tract cancers, such as esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer by minimally invasive surgery and provide evidence for the rational selection of clinical treatment, alleviation of disease-related economic burdens, and rational allocation of healthcare resources.Methods:By using five databases, i.e. China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang data, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, and Embase, a database was established to retrieve all the papers about health economic studies of minimally invasive surgery for esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer published until December 31, 2023. Literature was analyzed by using software NoteExpress 3.8, and data were processed using Excel 2021. The quality of included papers was evaluated using the CHEERS 2022 checklist, and Meta-analysis was conducted by using software Stata 17.0.Results:A total of 10 919 relevant papers were retrieved, and 59 studies were included. Only 14 studies (23.7%) used standard health economic evaluation methods. Meta-analysis results revealed no significant differences in direct medical expenditure and total expenditure between minimally invasive surgery and open surgery. However, the expenditure for minimally invasive surgery exhibited a significant increase [mean difference ( MD)=5 973.12 yuan, P<0.001], while hospital stay and indirect expenditure significantly decreased ( MD: -4.85 days and -733.79 yuan, P<0.001). In China, for gastric cancer, the direct medical expenditure of endoscopic surgery was lower than that of open surgery ( MD=-33 000.00 yuan) with no significant difference ( P<0.001). In colorectal cancer cases, the direct medical and surgical expenditures for laparoscopic surgery were higher than those for open surgery ( MD: 4 277.94 yuan and 4 267.80 yuan, P<0.001), while the indirect and total medical expenditures decreased ( MD: -768.34 yuan and -159.10 yuan). Hospital stays in patients who had minimally invasive surgery for all three types of cancer were shorter than those who had open surgery ( P<0.001). Conclusions:In the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, compared with open surgery, minimally invasive surgery shows higher expenditure, but has advantages, such as shorter hospital stay and lower indirect expenditure, and there were no significant differences in direct medical and total expenditures between the two approaches. When conducting health economic evaluation, factors such as postoperative complications, hospital stay, and patient's economic status should be considered for their impact on total medical expenditure. It is necessary to pay attention to the application of health economic evaluations in healthcare decision-making.

Objective:To study the association between subtypes of hypertension and risk for all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular mortalities in the elderly in communities of Beijing.Methods:The data were collected from the Beijing Healthy Aging Cohort Study. The elderly in 5 urban areas (former Xicheng, former Xuanwu, Fangshan, Haidian and Tongzhou) and 4 rural areas (Yanqing, Miyun, Huairou and Daxing) in Beijing were selected as the study subjects by multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling. The baseline survey was conducted from July 2009 to September 2015. The follow-up was conducted until March 31, 2021, and a total of 6 326 participants were enrolled. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the association of SBP, DBP, normal blood pressure, high normal blood pressure, simple systolic hypertension, simple diastolic hypertension and systolic diastolic hypertension with all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality.Results:By March 31, 2021, the median follow-up time was 6.30 years, the all-cause mortality density was 201.67/10 000 person-years, and the cardio-cerebrovascular mortality density was 90.20/10 000 person-years. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model analysis showed that the risk for all-cause mortality increased by 5.6% ( HR=1.056, 95% CI: 1.020-1.092), and the risk for cardio-cerebrovasculvar mortality increased by 12.5% ( HR=1.125, 95% CI: 1.071-1.182) for every 10 mmHg increase in SBP. The risk for all-cause mortality increased by 8.6% ( HR=1.086, 95% CI: 1.023-1.152), and the risk for cardio-cerebrovascular mortality increased by 19.9% ( HR=1.199, 95% CI: 1.101-1.306) for every 10 mmHg increase in DBP. Compared with the normal blood pressure group, the risk for all-cause mortality increased by 64.8% ( HR=1.648, 95% CI: 1.049-2.591) and the risk for cardio- cerebrovascular mortality increased by 112.8% ( HR=2.128, 95% CI: 1.069-4.233) in the simple diastolic hypertension group. The risk for all-cause mortality increased by 34.4% ( HR=1.344, 95% CI: 1.023-1.467) and the risk for cardio-cerebrovascular mortality increased by 111.3% ( HR=2.113, 95% CI: 1.384-3.225) in the systolic-diastolic hypertension group. Conclusions:In the elderly in communities of Beijing, beside systolic-diastolic hypertension. It is necessary to pay close attention to the simple diastolic hypertension, which has lower prevalence, and give targeted prevention and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the association of urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in normal range and cardiovascular health (CVH) score with cardio-cerebroascular and all-cause mortality in urban elderly residents in Beijing.Methods:Based on Beijing Healthy Aging Cohort Study, data from 1 817 elderly participants with normal UACR were analyzed, and UACR was used as both continuous and categorical variable. "Life's Essential 8" was used to develop a CVH score. Statistical analysis was performed by using software SPSS 26.0 and R 4.2.1, including two independent samples t-test, χ2 test and non-parametric test. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models stratified by CVH score and the restricted cubic spline were used to analyse the association of UACR with the risk for cardio-cerebrovascular and all-cause mortality. Results:By March 31, 2021, the median follow-up time M ( Q1, Q3) was 11.28 (10.84, 11.36) years, a total of 308 deaths were recorded during follow-up, and the mortality density was 163.87/10 000 person-years. The age of the participants was (71.4±6.6) years, and 1 070 participants were women. The results showed that the risk for both cardio-cerebrovascular disease and all-cause mortality decreased with the decrease of UACR in the low CVH score group ( HR=0.500, 95% CI: 0.341-0.734; HR=0.793, 95% CI: 0.647-0.971), and in the high CVH score group, there was a decreasing trend in the risk for cardio-cerebrovascular mortality with the decrease of UACR ( HR=0.665, 95% CI: 0.447-0.990). Compared with the participants with low CVH score and higher UACR, the risk for cardio-cerebrovascular and all-cause mortality decreased by 68.9% and 45.6%, respectively, in the participants with high CVH score and lower UACR ( HR=0.311, 95% CI: 0.131-0.739; HR=0.544, 95% CI: 0.360-0.822), and the risk for all-cause mortality decreased by 26.7% in the participants with high CVH score and higher UACR ( HR=0.733, 95% CI: 0.542-0.993). Conclusions:In urban elderly residents in Beijing, higher UACR were associated with a significantly increased risk for cardio-cerebrovascular and all-cause mortality, and in the low-CVH score group, decreased UACR was protective factor against cardio-cerebrovascular and all-cause mortality. The combined effect of cardiovascular health status and normal UACR had a greater protection against the risk for cardio-cerebrovascular and all-cause mortality.
