Objective To understand the current status of blood pressure variability and dyslipidemia in young and middle-aged patients with ischemic stroke, and to explore their relationship with prognosis. Methods A total of 312 young and middle-aged patients with ischemic stroke who met the inclusion criteria in Beijing Pinggu District Hospital from January 2022 to January 2025 were selected. The prognosis status [modified Rankin scale (mRS)], blood pressure variability, and blood lipids [total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] were analyzed. The correlation of blood pressure variability and blood lipids levels with prognosis was explored by logistic regression analysis. Results There were 206 patients with good prognosis and 106 patients with poor prognosis. The number of patients who received diversified health education in the good prognosis group was more than that in the poor prognosis group (P<0.05). The systolic blood pressure successive variation (SV) and average real variability (ARV), and diastolic blood pressure SV and ARV were lower in the good prognosis group than those in the poor prognosis group (P<0.05). Furthermore, compared with the poor prognosis group, the good prognosis group had lower levels of TC, TG and LDL-C, while the number of patients receiving diversified health education and the level of HDL-C were higher (P<0.05). After logistic regression analysis, it was found that the levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, systolic blood pressure SV and ARV, and diastolic blood pressure SV and ARV were risk factors for poor prognosis. Conversely, receiving diversified health education and HDL-C level were protective factors for poor prognosis (P<0.05). Conclusion High blood pressure fluctuation, dyslipidemia, and lack of health education will increase the risk of poor prognosis in young and middle-aged stroke patients.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) represent a significant occupational health challenge among healthcare professionals globally, posing substantial threats to physical and mental well-being as well as work sustainability. Adopting preventive behaviors—including ergonomic postural adjustments, optimized work-rest scheduling, proper use of protective and assistive equipment, and regular physical activity—is essential for mitigating the risk of WMSDs. Guided by the social ecological model, the review synthesized current evidence on the determinants of WMSDs preventive behaviors across four levels: intrapersonal characteristics, work environment conditions, interpersonal support, and policy/institutional factors. The findings suggest that higher educational attainment, favorable health-related behavioral patterns, optimized ergonomic work environments, adoption of supportive collaborative systems, strong organizational support, as well as policy safeguards facilitate preventive behavior adoption. Conversely, limited prevention-related knowledge, low risk perception, insufficient physical activity, excessive workload, lack of appropriate protective equipment, inadequate ergonomic training, a prevailing culture of presenteeism, and inadequate policy implementation constitute significant barriers. Multi-dimensional intervention strategies targeting these determinants are warranted to enhance preventive behaviors, reduce the risk of WMSDs, and strengthen occupational health protection for healthcare professionals.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab plus chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma or adenocarcinoma of gastroesophageal junction (AEG) with intermediate, low, or no human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression. METHODS Patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma or AEG with intermediate, low, or no HER2 expression who were treated at Liaoning Cancer Hospital between October 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025 were retrospectively included. According to the treatment regimen received, the patients were divided into group A [cadonilimab plus oxaliplatin and capecitabine (XELOX), n =54 ] , group B (sintilimab plus XELOX, n =68), and group C (tislelizumab plus XELOX, n =49). Short-term efficacy after 4 cycles of treatment, survival outcomes, and adverse events were compared among the three groups. Cox regression and Logistic regression analyses were further performed to evaluate the effects of the treatment regimen and baseline data on survival outcomes and the risk of grade 3-4 treatment related adverse events (TRAEs). RESULTS No statistically significant differences in objective response rate or disease control rate were observed among the three groups ( P >0.05). The median progression-free survival was 7.56 (5.62, 8.11) months in group A, 7.23 (5.33, 8.23) months in group B, and 7.33 (5.42, 8.19) months in group C, with no statistically significant difference among the three groups ( P >0.05). The median overall survival (mOS) was 11.67 (8.82, 13.88) months in group A, 9.78 (6.82, 12.73) months in group B, and 9.69 (6.78, 12.66) months in group C. The mOS was significantly longer in group A than in group B and group C ( P <0.05), whereas no statistically significant difference was observed between group B and group C ( P >0.05). The correlation analysis indicated that treatment regimen, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS), number of metastatic organs, and peritoneal metastasis may be associated with overall survival (OS). No significant association was observed between treatment regimen and the risk of grade 3-4 TRAEs. The incidences of grade 1-2 or grade 3-4 TRAEs did not differ significantly among the three groups ( P >0.05). CONCLUSIONS In patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma or AEG with intermediate, low, or no HER2 expression, cadonilimab plus XELOX may provide a more significant OS benefit with a safety profile comparable to that of sintilimab or tislelizumab plus XELOX. Further studies with larger sample sizes are required to validate these findings.
