Objective: To analyze the impact of premature death due to four major chronic diseases on life expectancy in Yangpu District, Shanghai Municipality from 2010 to 2021, so as to provide the evidence for formulating chronic disease prevention and control strategies. Methods : Mortality data of registered residents in Yangpu District from 2010 to 2021 were collected through the Death Information Registration and Management System of the Shanghai Municipal Disease Control and Prevention Information Management Platform. The premature death probability of malignant tumors, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and chronic respiratory diseases, and life expectancy of residents were calculated using the abridged life table method. Trends in premature death probability for four types of chronic diseases were analyzed using the average annual percent change (AAPC). The impact of premature death probability due to four chronic diseases on life expectancy was assessed by Arriaga's decomposition method. Results : The premature death probability due to four major chronic diseases in Yangpu District decreased from 9.88% in 2010 to 9.22% in 2021, showing an overall declining trend (AAPC=-0.540%, P<0.05). Among females, the premature death probability declined from 6.71% to 4.90% (AAPC=-2.715%, P<0.05), whereas no statistically significant trend was observed in males (P>0.05). Life expectancy increased from 82.52 years in 2010 to 84.50 years in 2021, with an overall upward trend (AAPC=0.244%, P<0.05). Life expectancy rose by 1.71 years for males and 2.34 years for females (AAPC=0.197% and 0.303%,both P<0.05). Declines in premature death probability from malignant tumors (AAPC=-0.967%, P< 0.05) and chronic respiratory diseases (AAPC=-3.071%, P<0.05) contributed to gains in life expectancy of 0.30 years and 0.03 years, with contribution rates of 12.18% and 1.29%, respectively. Changes in premature death probability due to diabetes as well as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were not statistically significant (both P>0.05), resulting in reductions in life expectancy of 0.05 years and 0.10 years, with contribution rates of -2.40% and -5.05%, respectively. Notably, an increase in premature death probability due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases among males (AAPC=1.673%) contributed to a decrease of 0.22 years in male life expectancy, whereas a decrease among females (AAPC=-3.824%) contributed to an increase of 0.03 years in female life expectancy, with contribution rates of -13.03% and 1.14%, respectively. Conclusions From 2010 to 2021, Yangpu District experienced an overall decline in premature death probability due to four major chronic diseases and an increase in life expectancy. Greater attention should be paid to the negative impacts of premature death probability from diabetes as well as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases among males on life expectancy.

Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is fundamentally driven by an imbalance in hepatic fatty-acid flux: the influx of fatty acids exceeds the liver’s capacity for disposal, resulting in excessive hepatic lipid accumulation, predominantly in the form of triglycerides (TGs). The occurrence and progression of MAFLD depend on disordered regulation across multiple metabolic steps, including fatty-acid uptake, de novo lipogenesis (DNL), fatty-acid oxidation (FAO), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) export. Forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1) is a key transcriptional regulator within the hepatic network coordinating glucose and lipid metabolism. Under metabolic stress and insulin resistance (IR), FOXO1 expression is frequently increased, whereas its inhibitory phosphorylation is reduced. These changes enhance FOXO1 nuclear localization and transcriptional activity, thereby reprogramming the expression of genes related to metabolism in the liver. Because hepatic lipid deposition is the central pathological feature of MAFLD, the functional status of FOXO1 directly influences hepatic lipid homeostasis. Growing evidence suggests that FOXO1 can exert bidirectional, environment-dependent effects on hepatic lipid accumulation; however, the molecular basis for this functional switch remains incompletely understood. This review systematically summarizes the biological functions and regulatory mechanisms of FOXO1 and its roles in hepatic lipid metabolism, with a particular focus on its crosstalk with insulin signaling. FOXO1 expression is shaped by RNA modifications and epigenetic regulation mediated by non-coding RNAs. Its transcriptional output is precisely governed by post-translational modifications—such as phosphorylation and acetylation—as well as by coordinated nucleocytoplasmic shuttling. Notably, these regulatory patterns vary markedly across nutritional states, degrees of insulin resistance, and stages of disease. In the fed state, insulin/IGF-1 signaling activates the PI3K-AKT pathway, promoting the inhibitory phosphorylation of FOXO1 and facilitating additional modifications, including acetylation, methylation, and ubiquitination. Together, these events drive FOXO1 export from the nucleus and dampen its transcriptional activity, suppressing gluconeogenesis and constraining lipogenic programs. Conversely, during fasting or when insulin signaling is weakened, FOXO1 inhibition is relieved. FOXO1 accumulates in the nucleus, binds to DNA, and regulates the transcription of downstream target genes. Mechanistically, FOXO1 can aggravate hepatic lipid accumulation by activating genes involved in TG synthesis while repressing FAO-related pathways, thereby favoring storage over oxidation. However, under specific conditions, FOXO1 may also alleviate the hepatic lipid burden by promoting TG hydrolysis and enhancing VLDL secretion, thereby reducing the net hepatic lipid load. In addition, lipotoxic signals mediated by ceramides and diacylglycerols (Cer/DAG) activate atypical protein kinase C (aPKC), further exacerbating the disruption of the AKT-FOXO1 axis. This vicious cycle ultimately produces a metabolic paradox in which increased hepatic glucose output coexists with persistent, insulin-independent lipogenesis, accelerating MAFLD progression. Importantly, FOXO1 regulation is not uniform: during early metabolic overload, insulin-mediated suppression may remain effective, whereas in advanced insulin resistance, the loss of AKT control permits sustained FOXO1 activity. Such stage-dependent dynamics may help explain why FOXO1 can either promote steatosis or, in certain contexts, support programs that facilitate lipid turnover. Accordingly, interventions should be liver-specific and tuned to the disease stage, aiming to curb maladaptive FOXO1 signaling while preserving its capacity to promote triglyceride hydrolysis and VLDL secretion when advantageous. Overall, this review offers an important perspective on MAFLD pathogenesis, emphasizing FOXO1 as a potential therapeutic target and providing a theoretical basis for developing liver-specific, disease-course-dependent precision interventions.

Objective:To analyze the effect of high serum ferritin(SF)before transplantation on erythrocyte,granulocyte and platelet implantation in unrelated cord blood transplantation(UCBT)patients with myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS)and acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Methods:The medical records of 60 patients with MDS and AML who underwent UCBT in the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively collected.According to the SF level before transplantation,they were divided into high SF group(SF ≥ 1 000 μg/L,n=20)and non-high SF group(SF＜1 000 μg/L,n=40).The red blood cell(RBC)infusion volume before transplantation,implantation time of RBC,granulocyte and platelet,implantation risk and prognosis were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results:There was no correlation between the level of SF before transplantation and RBC infusion.After transplantation,the median implantation time of RBC in the high SF group was 28.5(14-149)d,which was longer than 21(10-83)d in the non-high SF group(P＜0.05).The median time of granulocyte engraftment in the high SF group was 16.5(12-63)d,while that in the non-high SF group was 16(12-49)d,with no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The median platelet engraftment time in the high SF group was 45(12-206)d,while that in the non-high SF group was 35.5(14-149)d,with no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).Kaplan-Meier cumulative implantation probability analysis showed that the rate of erythroid implantation in the non-high SF group was higher than that in the high SF group(P＜0.05),while there was no significant difference in the rates of granulocyte and platelet implantation between the two groups(P＞0.05).The 1-year overall survival rates of the non-high SF group and high SF group were 95％and 90％,respectively,with no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion:SF levels before cord blood transplantation in MDS and AML patients have an impact on post transplant erythroid implantation.Detecting and intervening of iron load in patients before transplant may be beneficial for improving implantation and prognosis.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of lifestyle interventions based on mobile health technolo-gy on gestational weight gain among overweight or obese pregnant women,to explore the influencing fac-tors of the intervention effect,and to provide scientific evidence for weight management during pregnan-cy.Methods:The randomized controlled trial(RCT)design was used.From April 2024 to August 2024,200 singleton overweight or obese pregnant women aged 18-40 years in early pregnancy were re-cruited and stratified block-randomized according to body mass index(BMI)categories,age,and parity.The control group received routine prenatal care,while the intervention group received lifestyle interven-tions based on mobile health technology,which included biweekly face-to-face or telephone sessions;weekly recording of dietary behavior goals with personalized feedback on WeChat public account;6 000 steps per day and 150 minutes of brisk walking per week;and weekly weight recording with personalized feedback.Based on the intention-to-treat principle,generalized linear mixed models were used to analyze the effects on weight gain and weight gain rate up to 24-28 gestational weeks,gestational diabetes melli-tus(GDM),and dietary and physical activity behaviors.Additionally,subgroup analysis and interaction analysis were conducted to explore whether intervention effects on weight gain varied by different maternal characteristics.Results:The mean age of the women in the intervention and control groups was(30.49±3.99)years and(29.83±3.95)years,respectively,with gestational weeks at enrollment being(11.35±1.61)weeks and(11.26±1.52)weeks.No statistically significant differences were observed in the baseline characteristics between the two groups(P＞0.05).In the study,10 and 12 participants were lost to the follow-up in the intervention and control groups,respectively,with 178 women comple-ting the midterm follow-up.At the midterm follow-up(24-28 weeks),the weight gain in the interven-tion and control groups was(5.00±3.72)kg and(6.57±4.28)kg,respectively.After adjusting for age,parity,gravidity,region,pre-pregnancy BMI categories,and socioeconomic status,the between-group difference was-1.63 kg(95％CI:-2.80 to-0.46;P=0.007).The adjusted between-group difference in weight gain rate was-0.07 kg/week(95％CI:-0.11 to-0.02;P=0.005).Com-pared with the control group,the intervention group had lower fasting blood glucose at the oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)by 0.19 mmol/L(95％CI:0.04 to0.33;P=0.013).No significant difference was observed in GDM incidence between the two groups.Among different subgroups based on characteris-tics,such as age,region,socioeconomic status,and parity,there was no statistically significant dif-ference in the effect on weight gain.Conclusion:The lifestyle interventions based on mobile health tech-nology effectively controlled weight gain up to 24-28 gestational weeks among overweight or obese women and improved fasting blood glucose level.This has significant public health implications for impro-ving the health of overweight or obese pregnant women in China.

Aim To explore the mechanism of Gano-derma lucidum polysaccharides(GLPS)promoting my-elin repair and regeneration in mice with chronic demy-elination induced by cuprizone(CPZ).Methods A total of 40 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups:Normal+NS,Normal+GLPS,CPZ+NS and CPZ+GLPS.A chronic demyelination model was established using 0.2％CPZ.Open field and elevated plus maze tests were performed to observe the behavior-al changes in the mice.Immunofluorescence staining and Western blot were used to detect changes in myelin basic protein expression in the corpus callosum.ELISA was performed to measure the levels of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β and IL-10 in brain homogenates.Immunofluo-rescence staining was also used to observe the expres-sion of ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1(Iba1)and neural-glial antigen 2(NG2).RT-qPCR and Western blot were conducted to assess the mRNA and protein expression levels of MBP,iNOS,COX-2,JAK2 and STAT3.Results Mice in the CPZ+NS group showed a significant decrease in body weight,cognitive behavior abnormalities,and impaired myelin regeneration.The expression of pro-inflammatory fac-tors increased,while anti-inflammatory factors de-creased.Additionally,Iba1 and NG2 expression in-creased,and the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway was activated.After GLPS intervention,the mouse body weight increased,myelin regeneration occurred,cogni-tive behavior was improved,the expression of inflamma-tory factors decreased,anti-inflammatory factors in-creased,NG2 expression was further elevated,and the proliferation of microglia as well as the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway was inhibited.Conclu-sions GLPS can improve cognitive behavior abnormali-ties and inflammatory responses in chronic demyelinated mice by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway,thereby promoting myelin repair and regeneration.

Background and Aims:Portal hypertensive colopathy(PHC)is a common complication of portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis.It may lead to gastrointestinal bleeding,yet its underlying pathogenesis remains unclear,and systematic research in China is limited.This study aimed to analyze the colonoscopic features in cirrhotic patients and to explore their associations with relevant clinical factors.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 99 cirrhotic patients who underwent colonoscopy at Xingtai People's Hospital between July 2020 and December 2024.Colonoscopy,gastroscopy,and clinical data were reviewed.Differences between patients with PHC and those without were compared in terms of sex,Child-Pugh classification,platelet count,presence of ascites,and hepatic encephalopathy.Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors for PHC.Additionally,colorectal lesion detection rates were compared with those of a contemporaneous cohort of 444 participants undergoing national colorectal cancer(CRC)screening at the same center.Results:Among the 105 patients with cirrhosis,the detection rates of PHC,adenomatous polyps,and CRC were 32.32%,28.28%,and 3.03%,respectively,while only 37.37%had no abnormal findings.No serious colonoscopy-related complications were observed.The proportion of males in the PHC group was significantly higher than in the non-PHC group(78.13%vs.50.75%,P=0.009).The PHC group also showed significantly higher rates of Child-Pugh class B/C,and lower platelet count(all P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of ascites and hepatic encephalopathy between the two groups(P>0.05).Multivariate analysis identified that male gender(OR=3.307,95%CI=1.219-8.971)and Child-Pugh class B/C(OR=2.867,95%CI=1.046-7.861)were independent risk factors for PHC.Compared to the CRC screening cohort,cirrhotic patients had a similar adenoma detection rate(28.28%vs.25.00%,P=0.499),and a slightly higher colorectal cancer detection rate that did not reach statistical significance(3.03%vs.0.68%,P=0.135).Conclusion:Colonoscopy revealed a high rate of abnormalities in cirrhotic patients,with PHC and adenomatous polyps being the most common findings.Routine colonoscopy is recommended for cirrhotic patients without contraindications,especially males,and patients with Child-Pugh class B/C,to facilitate early detection of PHC and precancerous lesions,thereby reducing the risk of lower gastrointestinal bleeding and missed diagnoses of malignancy.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy of the combination therapy of pembrolizumab,a programmed death receptor-1(PD-1)inhibitor,and chemotherapy in the treatment of cervical cancer.Methods:A total of 60 patients with cervical cancer who visited our hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected and divided into two groups:30 patients were treated with first-line chemotherapy,and 30 patients were treated with pembrolizumab combined with first-line chemotherapy.Compare the recent efficacy of two groups,including immune related indicators[CD4+/CD8+ratio,interleukin-6(IL-6),interferon-γ(IFN-γ)],serum tumor markers[Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen(SCC Ag),Carbohydrate Antigen 125(CA125)],incidence of adverse reactions,and survival status[Progression Free Survival(PFS),Overall Survival(OS)]before and after treatment.Results:The objective response rate(ORR)of the combination group was 73.33％,while that of the chemotherapy group was 40.00％.The combination group was higher than the chemotherapy group(P＜0.05);There was no significant difference in the levels of CD4+/CD8+,IL-6,and IFN-γ between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,the levels of CD4+/CD8+,IL-6,and IFN-γ decreased in the combination group,which was lower than those in the chemotherapy group(P＜0.05);There was no significant difference in the levels of SCC Ag and CA125 between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,the levels of SCC Ag and CA125 in both groups decreased,with the combination group lower than the chemotherapy group(P＜0.05);There was no significant difference in the incidence of hematological toxicity(anemia,thrombocytopenia),immune related toxicity(hypothyroidism,immune pneumonia,elevated transaminase),skin/mucosal reactions(rash,oral mucosal inflammation),and other adverse reactions(diarrhea,fatigue)between the two groups(P＞0.05).The incidence of grade 3 or above neutropenia was higher in the chemotherapy group than in the combination group(P＜0.05);The PFS and OS time of the combined group were higher than those of the chemotherapy group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The combination therapy of PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab and chemotherapy is significantly effective in treating cervical cancer,which can improve the immune environment,reduce serum marker levels,and has high safety.At the same time,through long-term follow-up,it was found that the combination therapy can further improve patients'long-term progression free survival and overall survival.

Objective To analyze the hotspots and frontiers of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for allergic rhinitis(AR)in China,aiming to provide reference for the treatment of AR patients in China.Methods Literatures related to traditional Chinese medicine treatment of AR published by CNKI,Wanfang Data and VIP database from January 2004 to December 2023 were searched,and CiteSpace software was used for visual analysis of the number of literatures,key words,research institutions and authors.Results A total of 1604 literatures were included,and the annual number of literatures generally showed an upward trend.The research frontiers in the last 5 years include medication patterns,immune function,quality of life,data mining,and thumbtack needle.The top five institutions in terms of publications were Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,the First Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,and Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.The core authors were Yuan Weiling,Yan Daonan,Zhao Jiping,Zhang Qinxiu,and Feng Weiyun.Conclusion The application of traditional Chinese medicine in treatment of AR has always been in a high research heat,and giving full play to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine can be the development direction of AR research in the future.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of hemodynamic instability after carotid artery stenting by meta-analysis.Methods Ten databases were searched:PubMed,ProQuest,ScienceDirect,Embase,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,China Knowledge Network,Wanfang Data,VIP Information Database,and China Biomedical Database.The search date was from inception until 2 February 2024,and meta-analysis was performed using Stata 16.0 statistical software.Results A total of 27 studies with 4199 subjects and 22 influencing factors were included.The studies showed a 37.4％(95％CI 30.3％-44.8％)incidence of haemodynamic instability after carotid stenting,Meta-analysis determined that age＞60 years(P＜0.001),hypertension(P＜0.001),calcified plaque(P＜0.001),stenosis＞70％(P=0.008),eccentric plaque(P=0.002),distance from the largest stenosis to the carotid bifurcation≤ 10 mm(P＜0.001),stenosis involvement of the balloon or bifurcation(P＜0.001),balloon post-dilation(P=0.003),open-loop stenting(P＜0.001),dilated balloon diameter≥5 mm(P=0.002),repeat balloon dilation(P=0.011)and balloon dilation pressure≥8 atm(P＜0.001)are risk factors for intraoperative and postoperative haemodynamic instability in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting surgery.Statin use was a protective factor(P＜0.001).Conclusions Medical staff working in the clinic should assess the patient's condition preoperatively,identify risk factors that may lead to haemodynamic instability,and avoid unnecessary intraoperative stimulation of patients who are already in a high-risk state.Reduce postoperative clinical complications in patients with carotid artery stenosis and improve patient recovery.

Objective To investigate whether successful percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)could improve symptoms and quality of life(QOL)in left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease patients with diabetes.Methods Patients with left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease who underwent PCI in the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from April 2018 to May 2021 were consecutively enrolled and subdivided into 2 groups:diabetes and no diabetes.Detailed baseline characteristics,symptoms,including dyspnea and angina,assessed with the Rose dyspnea scale(RDS),Seattle angina questionnaire(SAQ),the European quality of life-5 dimensions(EQ-5D)and 12-item short-form health survey(SF-12)questionnaire respectively,procedural details,and 1 month and 1 year follow-up data were collected.Results Among 440 left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease patients,disease was present in 176(40.00％),who had more hypertension,peripheral artery disease,and LCX lesion(all P＜0.05).The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)and all-cause mortality were similar between the two groups(both P＞0.05)at 1 month follow-up,while all-cause mortality in diabetes patients was significantly higher than those without diabetes at 1 year follow-up(P=0.013).Low left ventricular ejection fraction was an independent risk factor for MACE and all-cause mortality at 1 month and 1 year follow-up after successful revascularization(all P＜0.05).Most importantly,symptoms,including dyspnea and angina,and QOL were markedly improved regardless of diabetes both at 1 month and 1 year follow-up(all P＜0.05).Diabetes patients showed improved dyspnea and QOL at similar degree to the non-diabetes patients(all P＞0.05)and a more significantly relieved angina(P=0.013).Additionally,the number of chronic total occlusion(CTO)per patient was identified as an independent risk factor of dyspnea(OR 0.723,95％CI 0.525～0.997,P=0.048)and angina relief(OR 0.686,95％CI 0.473～0.995,P=0.047),and the contrast volume(OR 0.995,95％CI 0.992～0.999,P=0.008)as an independent risk factor of QOL improvement in diabetic patients.Conclusions Successful PCI is beneficial for relieving symptoms and improving quality of life in patients with diabetes who have left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease.
