Objective To investigate the correlation of dietary lipid intake and apolipoprotein with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection combined with gastric mucosal lesions. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 320 patients diagnosed with Hp infection during physical examinations from March 2024 to March 2025. The daily dietary lipid intake of all patients was statistically analyzed. The levels of apolipoprotein A1‌ (Apo-A1) and apolipoprotein B‌ (Apo B) were detected. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors influencing Hp infection combined with gastric mucosal lesions. Results Compared with the non-gastric mucosal lesion group, patients in the gastric mucosal lesion group had higher daily dietary lipid intake, lower Apo-A1, higher Apo B, and higher proportion of family history of gastric cancer (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that daily dietary lipid intake, low level of Apo-A1, and high level of Apo B were independent risk factors of Hp infection with gastric mucosal lesion (P<0.05). Conclusion Daily dietary lipid intake, Apo-A1, and Apo B are closely related to Hp infection with gastric mucosal lesion. For patients with high daily dietary lipid intake, decreased Apo-A1 level, increased Apo B level, and complicated Hp infection, it is necessary to further screen gastroscopy to determine whether gastric mucosal lesion occurs.

Objective: To analyze the mortality trend of chronic respiratory diseases in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province from 2011 to 2024, and predict the mortality from 2025 to 2029, so as to provide the evidence for developing forward-looking prevention and control strategies and targeted intervention measures. Methods: Chronic respiratory disease death surveillance data in Lianyungang City from 2011 to 2024 were collected through the Jiangsu Chronic Disease Management Information Platform. The crude mortality was calculated and standardized using the data of the Sixth National Population Census in 2010. Average annual percent change (AAPC) was used to analyze the mortality trends of chronic respiratory diseases by gender, region, and age in Lianyungang City from 2011 to 2024. The GM (1,1) grey model was established using the crude mortality of chronic respiratory diseases from 2011 to 2024 to predict the crude mortality of chronic respiratory diseases from 2025 to 2029. Results: From 2011 to 2024, the crude mortality and standardized mortality of chronic respiratory diseases in Lianyungang City were 52.20/105 and 36.57/105, respectively. The crude mortality and standardized mortality were 53.14/105 and 43.79/105 in males, respectively, which were higher than 51.17/105 and 30.14/105 in females (both P<0.05). The crude mortality and standardized mortality were 55.62/105 and 39.85/105 in rural areas, respectively, which were higher than 38.11/105 and 24.15/105 in urban areas (both P<0.05). From 2011 to 2024, the standardized mortality of chronic respiratory diseases showed downward trends in the total population, males, females, urban areas, and rural areas (AAPC=-6.956%, -5.175%, -8.659%, -4.290%, and -7.369%, all P<0.05). The crude mortality of chronic respiratory diseases in the total population showed an upward trend with increasing age (P<0.05), reaching a peak of 1 371.20/105 in the ≥80 years group. The top two causes of chronic respiratory disease deaths were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma, with 31 792 cases and 3 254 cases, accounting for 82.40% and 8.43%, respectively. The GM (1,1) grey model prediction results showed that the crude mortality of chronic respiratory diseases in the total population from 2025 to 2029 would be 37.91/105, 36.32/105, 34.80/105, 33.34/105, and 31.95/105, respectively (average relative error=8.76%). Conclusions From 2011 to 2024, the mortality of chronic respiratory diseases in Lianyungang City showed a downward trend. The risk of death from chronic respiratory diseases was higher in males, rural areas, and the elderly. It is predicted that the mortality of chronic respiratory diseases will decrease year by year from 2025 to 2029.

Neuroinflammation secondary to traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a key factor affecting the prognosis and neural repair of patients. In recent years, nanomedicine and nano delivery system (NDDS) has shown great potential in neuroinflammation after TBI due to their controlled release, good biocompatibility, and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. This article reviews the recent advance in mechanism of neuroinflammation after TBI and regulatory role of various NDDS in neuroinflammation after TBI, with the aim of providing references for treatment of neuroinflammation after TBI.

Objective:To observe and assess the clinical value of electrophysiology of ocular surface in the diagnosis and treatment of blepharospasm in Meige syndrome (MS).Methods:A single-center, cross-sectional study. A total of 413 patients diagnosed with MS and undergoing surgical treatment at the Henan Provincial Meige Syndrome Diagnosis and Treatment Center of the Henan Provincial Third People′s Hospital from May 2022 to December 2023 were included as the MS group. A total of 110 age- and gender-matched spouses of patients and community volunteers were selected as the control group. The bioelectricity detection program of the electrooculogram was used; the frequency bandwidth was set at 0.3 to 300.0 Hz. Surface electrodes were employed to record the surface electrophysiological manifestations of the corrugator supercilii muscle and the lower orbicularis oculi muscle, as well as the conditions and temporal characteristics of spasm waves. Based on the amplitude and waveform of the electrophysiology of ocular surface signals, it can be classified into 0-4 grades. The blepharospasm was divided into conditionally induced type, spastic type, reverse spastic type, and oro-ocular elicited type. All patients were treated with neural circuit occlusion, and the postoperative follow-up time was 4.1 (0.5-19.0) months. The distribution of different grades of electrophysiology of ocular surface in the MS and control group at baseline were observed, as well as within the MS group at the last follow-up visit. Additionally, the blepharospasm grades in the MS group were also assessed. The comparison of the distribution of the number of eyes with different grades of electrophysiology of ocular surface between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results:At baseline, in the MS group, the number of cases with corrugator supercilii muscle amplitudes and morphologies graded from 0 to 4 were as follows: 15 (3.60%, 15/413) for grade 0, 95 (23.00%, 95/413) for grade 1, 142 (34.38%, 142/413) for grade 2, 127 (30.75%, 127/413) for grade 3, and 34 (8.24%, 34/413) for grade 4. In the control group, the corresponding numbers of individuals were 82 (74.54%, 82/110) for grade 0, 24 (21.82%, 24/110) for grade 1, 4 (3.64%, 4/110) for grade 2, 0 (0.00%, 0/110) for grade 3, and 0 (0.00%, 0/110) for grade 4. For the orbicularis oculi muscle, there were 35 cases (8.47%) in grade 0, 124 cases (30.03%) in grade 1, 150 cases (36.32%) in grade 2, 90 cases (21.79%) in grade 3, and 14 cases (3.39%) in grade 4 in the MS group. In the control group, there were 86 cases (78.18%) in grade 0, 24 cases (21.82%) in grade 1, and 0 cases in grades 2, 3, and 4. There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of the number of eyes with different electrophysiology of ocular surface grading of the corrugator supercilii muscle and the orbicularis oculi muscle between the MS and control group ( Z=-14.51, -13.86; P<0.001). Meanwhile, there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of the number of eyes with different electrophysiology of ocular surface grading of the corrugator supercilii muscle and the orbicularis oculi muscle between preoperation and at the last follow-up in the MS group ( Z=-16.52, -17.36; P<0.001). In the MS group, there were 61 (14.77%, 61/413), 306 (74.09%, 306/413), 27 (6.54%, 27/413) and 19 (4.60%, 19/413) cases of blepharospasm conditionally induced type, spasm type, reverse spasm type and oro-ocular elicited type, respectively. Conclusion:The electrophysiology of the ocular surface can objectively reflect the activity of periocular neuromuscular.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the pain-location interaction between pressure-sensitive points on the body surface and traditional acupoints in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP) under different disease courses, using Euclidean distance and multivariate statistical analysis. METHODS: A pressure-sensitive point detection was performed on 30 CNLBP patients with varying disease courses. A constant pressure was applied using an FDK20 algometer within a designated lumbar area, a total of 50 points were tested, and the tested points were numbered; the visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score was recorded simultaneously. MatlabR2022a9.12. software was used to extract the positions of pressure-sensitive points, and preprocessing and normalization of point location and VAS scores data were conducted. Under constraint conditions (VAS≥8.0 ∩ Euclidean distance to acupoint≤0.5), the proportion of pressure-sensitive points within the Euclidean distance threshold to each acupoint (PVD_acupoint) was calculated, followed by multivariate statistical analysis. RESULTS: ①Constrained analysis of PVD_acupoint showed that PVD_{Qihaishu (BL24)} and PVD_{Dachangshu (BL25)} were positively correlated with disease course (r=0.55, P<0.01). ②Factor analysis and silhouette analysis revealed that PVD_{Shenshu (BL23)} and PVD_{Dachangshu (BL25)} exhibited trends consistent with disease course progression (P>0.05), with different degree (P<0.01). CONCLUSION The PVD_acupoint value based on Euclidean distance can characterize the pressure sensitivity features of traditional acupoints associated with disease. Multivariate statistical analysis of PVD_acupoint confirms that selecting the acupoint combination of Shenshu (BL23) and Dachangshu (BL25) for CNLBP is associated with the distribution of surrounding pressure-sensitive points and the pathological characteristics of the condition.
