Objective To analyze the predictive value of different obesity indicators on acute cerebral infarction in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA). Methods A total of 310 patients with TIA admitted to Tangdu Hospital of Air Force Medical University from March 2022 to September 2025 were selected and classified into non-event group (276 cases) and cerebral infarction group (34 cases) based on acute cerebral infarction within 90 days. The basic data and obesity-related indicators [body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, body adiposity index (BAI), conicity index (C-index) and a body shape index (ABSI were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to screen the independent influencing factors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive efficiency. Results The age, proportions of concurrent hypertension and concurrent diabetes mellitus, ABCD2 score, waist-to-hip ratio, ABSI, C-index, BMI and BAI in the cerebral infarction group were older or higher than those in the non-event group, and the symptoms duration was longer (P<0.05). The above indicators were all related factors for acute cerebral infarction in patients with TIA within 90 days (P<0.05), and ABSI and ABCD2 score were independent influencing factors (P<0.05). The prediction model was manifested as Logit (P)=− 4.205 + 0.482 × ABCD2 score + 1.120 × ABSI × 100. ABSI and ABCD2 score had predictive value on the occurrence of acute cerebral infarction (P<0.05), and the predictive efficiency of combined model was higher than that of single indicator (P<0.05). Conclusion Among different obesity indicators, ABSI has the highest value on predicting recent acute cerebral infarction in TIA. The prediction model based on ABSI and ABCD2 score exhibits the best predictive efficiency.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Xinfeng capsules combined with chronic disease management of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on rapid disease control and short-term prognosis of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). MethodsA total of 80 RA patients hospitalized in the Department of Rheumatology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to March 2024 were enrolled and randomly divided into an observation group (40 cases) and a control group (40 cases). The control group was treated with conventional methotrexate combined with standard chronic disease management, while the observation group was additionally treated with Xinfeng Capsules combined with TCM chronic disease management. The treatment course lasted 24 weeks. The outcomes were compared between two groups, including disease activity [28-joint disease activity score (DAS28), clinical disease activity index (CDAI), simplified disease activity index (SDAI)], visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, TCM syndrome score, tender joint count (TJC), swollen joint count (SJC), morning stiffness duration, Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20%, 50% and 70% response rates (ACR20/50/70), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (CCP-Ab), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and serum immunoglobulin G (IgG). The Chronic Disease Self-Management Scale (CDSMS) was used to evaluate patients’ self-management ability, self-care ability, and nursing satisfaction. Patients were followed up for 12 weeks to assess prognosis, and COX regression analysis was performed to determine the impact on short-term prognosis. ResultsAfter treatment, TJC, SJC, morning stiffness duration, DAS28, CDAI, SDAI, VAS, TCM syndrome score, ESR, hs-CRP, RF, CCP-Ab, IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, IgG, HAQ, SAS, SDS, chronic disease self-management behavior, self-efficacy, and self-care ability all improved significantly in both groups compared with baseline (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed more significant improvements in TJC, SJC, morning stiffness duration, DAS28, CDAI, SDAI, VAS, TCM syndrome score, ESR, IL-1β, IgG, HAQ, SAS, SDS, self-care ability, chronic disease self-management behavior, and self-efficacy (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The ACR70 response rate and nursing satisfaction were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.01). COX regression analysis showed that Xinfeng capsules combined with TCM chronic disease management reduced the risk of poor short-term prognosis in RA patients. ConclusionXinfeng capsules combined with TCM chronic disease management facilitates rapid disease control in RA patients, effectively improves short-term prognosis, and plays an important role in the treatment of the disease.

Objective To investigate the association between lifestyle and risk of heart disease and diabetes in the elderly population in Xi'an City. Methods From January 2021 to January 2024, a staged cluster sampling method was used to investigate the lifestyle and the occurrence of heart disease and diabetes in elderly population aged 60 years and above in the communities of Xi'an. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between lifestyle and the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Results A total of 413 elderly people were investigated, of which 31.96% had heart disease, 27.12% had diabetes, and 10.90% had diabetes with heart disease. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age, BMI, family history, sweet food preference, smoking, and sitting and lying for a long time were risk factors for diabetes in the elderly population (P<0.05). Age, BMI, family history, history of diabetes, preference for salted products, smoking, drinking, and sitting and lying for a long time were risk factors for heart disease in the elderly population (P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence rates of heart disease and diabetes are high in the elderly population in Xi'an City. The risk of diabetes is related to unhealthy lifestyles such as sweet food preference, smoking, and sitting and lying for a long time, while heart disease is related to unhealthy lifestyles such as preference for salted products, smoking, drinking, and sitting and lying for a long time.
