Objective:To analyze the characteristics and changes in incidence and mortality of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke among Chinese residents from 2015 to 2019.Methods:The incidence and mortality data of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke from 2015 to 2019 were collected from the China Registry of Cardiovascular Events (China RACE), which was established in 2014 and covered 100 counties (cities and districts) in 31 provinces in China. The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) was calculated using the Seventh National Census data as the standard population. The ratio of the incidence rate of ischemic stroke to hemorrhagic stroke was calculated. The subtype-specific mortality-to-incidence ratio (M/I) was calculated by the ratio of the number of deaths to the reported incidence cases. The relative ratio (RR) of M/I for ischemic to hemorrhagic stroke was calculated. The Joinpoint model was used to analyze the annual percentage change (APC) and trend of the incidence rate of stroke.Results:From 2015 to 2019, a total of 1 354 614 new stroke cases were reported, including 1 077 244 (79.52%) ischemic stroke and 277 370 (20.48%) hemorrhagic stroke cases, respectively. A total of 248 620 stroke deaths were reported, including 119 819 (48.19%) ischemic stroke deaths and 128 801 (51.81%) hemorrhagic stroke deaths. The incidence ratio of ischemic/hemorrhagic stroke from 2015 to 2019 was 3.50∶1, 3.76∶1, 3.63∶1, 4.23∶1, and 4.35∶1, respectively. From 2015 to 2019, there was no statistically significant annual trend of ASIR of ischemic stroke in overall, urban and rural areas and males ( Ptrend>0.05), while there was a downward trend in females (APC=-1.02%, Ptrend=0.042). The incidence of hemorrhagic stroke in the whole population, rural areas, males and females showed a downward trend ( Ptrend<0.05). Patients aged 45-49 years had an upward trend in the incidence rate of ischemic stroke (APC=3.82%, Ptrend=0.011), while those aged 70-74 years (APC=-7.37%, Ptrend=0.034), 80-84 years (APC=-9.75%, Ptrend=0.001) and 85 years and over (APC=-11.22%, Ptrend=0.017) presented a downward trend in the incidence of hemorrhagic stroke. During the period, the overall relative ratio of M/I (RR) for ischemic to hemorrhagic stroke was 4.2∶1, which was lower in urban than in rural areas (3.8 vs. 4.3). The largest gap between urban and rural areas was in the 55-59 age group (6.8 vs. 9.3). Conclusion:The incidence and mortality of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke among Chinese residents are severe from 2015 to 2019, and there are regional and population differences.

Objective:To present the epidemiological characteristics of ≤28 days case fatality in both hemorrhagic stroke (HS) and ischemic stroke (IS) patients in national cardiovascular disease surveillance areas from 2015 to 2019.Methods:Data on all new patients with stroke and ≤28 days outcomes from 2015 to 2019 were from the China Registry of Cardiovascular Events, which was established in 2014, covering 100 counties (cities, districts) in 31 provinces in China. Poisson regression was used to analyze the annual trend of ≤28 days case fatality. The age-standardized case fatality was directly calculated based on all new stroke onset.Results:In total, 112 069 deaths in HS patients ≤28 days after the onset, as well as 94 373 in IS patients, were identified during the study period. In 2019, the ≤28 days case fatality rate in HS patients was 4.75 times that of IS patients (37.08% vs. 7.80%), as well as that 4.06 times in urban areas (30.13% vs. 7.43%) and 5.30 times in rural areas (42.63% vs. 8.05%), respectively. Thus, in rural areas, HS patients showed 41.49% higher ≤28 days case fatality rate than that in urban areas, as well as 8.34% higher in IS patients. Those ≤28 days case fatality in both stroke subtypes onset increased with age and reached the highest level in those aged 85 years and over. During the study period, HS and IS patients in each age group displayed significant decrease trend in ≤28 days case fatality rate (trend P<0.001). Compared with that in 2015, the age-standardized ≤28 days case-fatality in HS patients in 2019 decreased by 28.52%, which was more in urban areas (-34.27%) than that in rural areas (-23.19%). Meanwhile, IS patients experienced a 39.90% reduction in ≤28 days case fatality, which was much lower in urban areas (-31.62%) than in rural areas (-45.10%, all trend P<0.001). Conclusions:From 2015 to 2019, ≤28 days case fatality in both HS and IS patients decreased in China. Wide variations of ≤28 days case-fatality were evident in the level and trend in stroke subtype, age of patients, as well as urban and rural areas. More precise and comprehensive strategies for stroke prevention, treatment, and post-stroke management are urgently required in China.

Objective:To investigate the application and effect of a competency-oriented teaching model in standardized nutritional diagnosis and treatment training for clinical physicians.Methods:A blended teaching method combining online and offline lectures was used to teach core knowledge and skills of clinical nutrition among clinical physicians by implementing a step-by-step "popularization-strengthening-deepening" strategy. The number of nutritional consultations, the improvement in nutritional diagnosis and treatment among clinical physicians, and the degree of satisfaction after training were used as assessment indices.Results:Compared with the data in 2021, the number of annual nutritional consultations was increased by 21.41% in 2022 and 53.18% in 2023. A total of 281 clinical physicians received online deepening course training, among whom 237 (84.34%) completed the online clinical nutrition knowledge test, with a mean score of (86.17±5.48) points and a pass rate of 81.86% (194/237). The online training received a satisfaction rate of 80.39%.Conclusions:The training program designed with competency-based objectives, systematic content, and diverse methodologies can significantly enhance the standardized thinking and capabilities of clinical physicians in nutritional diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the potential value of saccade and antisaccade parameters in early identification of Parkinson′s disease (PD) and its motor subtypes.Methods:A total of 111 PD patients [tremor dominant (TD) type in 45, postural instability/gait difficulty (PIGD) type in 54 and indeterminate type in 12)] and 54 healthy controls were recruited from Department of Neurology, Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital from July 2022 to July 2023. All subjects underwent oculomotor test including visually guided saccades and volitional antisaccades by the Eyeknow-M10-B Eye tracker. For PD patients, TD and PIGD scores were measured using the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson′s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part Ⅱ and Part Ⅲ. Oculomotor parameters among TD, PIGD patients and healthy controls were firstly compared. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to assess the relationship between ocular parameters with differences and TD/PIGD score. Then receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was made between PD patients and healthy controls, as well as between PIGD and TD subtypes.Results:Compared to healthy controls, PD patients showed significantly decreased saccadic accuracy [100.0%(90.0%, 100.0%) vs 100.0%(100.0%, 100.0%), U=1 732.500, P<0.001], prolonged latency [252.2(228.5, 300.1) ms vs 227.7(214.2, 241.8) ms, U=1 401.000, P<0.001], minimum duration [233.6(211.2, 278.8) ms vs 211.0(200.0, 222.5) ms, U=1 534.500, P<0.001], average duration [356.6(313.8, 427.8) ms vs 279.4(267.4, 312.9) ms, U=881.000, P<0.001],as well as decreased peak [444.4(335.0, 593.7) °/s vs 526.7(412.6, 696.2) °/s, U=1 971.000, P=0.007] and average velocity [196.3(144.4, 240.5) °/s vs 256.7(226.7, 312.0) °/s, U=1 330.000, P<0.001] in saccades. And in antisaccades, PD patients also showed prolonged latency [432.0(362.9, 599.8) ms vs 352.9(309.8, 407.6) ms, U=1 553.000, P<0.001], minimum duration [333.4(299.8, 377.6) ms vs 290.1(263.9, 332.9) ms, U=1 608.000, P<0.001], average duration [518.2(462.7, 603.5) ms vs 424.2(377.1, 473.5) ms, U=1 181.000, P<0.001], decreased peak [458.5(327.9, 604.3) °/s vs 560.4(440.3, 698.5) °/s, U=1 838.500, P=0.001] and average velocity [186.6(143.1, 228.1) °/s vs 263.2(217.2, 301.5) °/s, U=1 131.000, P<0.001]. There was no statistically significant difference in antisaccadic accuracy [55.0%(15.0%, 80.0%) vs 66.7%(39.4%, 86.9%), U=2 167.500, P=0.053]. Compared with TD subtype, PIGD patients showed significantly decreased antisaccadic peak velocity [416.2(300.3, 534.3) °/s vs 527.1(402.3, 636.4) °/s, U=-26.474, P=0.009]. After adjusting for age, gender and education, antisaccadic peak velocity was negatively correlated with PIGD score in PD patients (β=-0.296, P=0.001), and no correlation with TD score was found. The ROC analysis was performed on combined saccadic and antisaccade metrics between PD patients and healthy controls, with area under the curve (AUC) as 0.918. For antisaccadic peak velocity between PIGD and TD subtypes, the AUC was 0.690. Conclusions:Eye movement metrics have potential value in distinguishing PD patients from healthy controls. The antisaccadic peak velocity is related to the severity of motor symptoms in PIGD patients, which is helpful for distinguishing the motor subtypes of PD patients.
