Objective To investigate the exposure-response relationships and lag effects between air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, O3, and NO2) and mortality in Jiading District, Shanghai, and to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of environmental health policies. Methods Using an individual-level time-stratified case-crossover design, conditional logistic regression models in conjunction with a distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) were employed to analyze the exposure-response relationship and temporal lag patterns of ambient air pollution on resident mortality in Jiading District (1994–2024). Results A total of 59 048 death cases were collected, including 18,701 deaths from cardiovascular diseases and 11 731 deaths from respiratory diseases. PM2.5 and NO2 had a significant impact on all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease mortality, and respiratory disease mortality, with the most significant effects observed within a lag of 0–3 days. PM10 also had some impact on these three types of mortality, but its effect was generally weaker than that of PM2.5 and NO2. The exposure-response curves showed that the risk of death increased rapidly with increasing concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10, while the effect of NO2 plateaued at higher levels. No significant differences were found across age or gender subgroups. Conclusion Short-term exposure to PM2.5, PM10, and NO2 significantly increases all-cause mortality risk in Jiading District, with effects persisting up to 7 days, highlighting the need for enhanced air pollution control measures, particularly targeting fine particulate matter.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between adverse events and antiplatelet drug resistance after neurovascular intervention for cerebrovascular stenosis.Methods:A total of 148 patients with cerebrovascular stenosis who underwent neurovascular intervention at Wenzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from January 2020 to December 2020 were included in this study. The platelet function of patients before and 24 hours after antiplatelet drug treatment was recorded. Platelet drug resistance was analyzed. At 3, 6 months, and 1 year after neurovascular intervention, adverse events were recorded through follow-up. The patients were divided into the occurrence group and the non-occurrence group according to whether adverse events occurred or not using the case-control study method. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between adverse events and antiplatelet drug resistance after neurovascular intervention for cerebrovascular stenosis.Results:After 1 year of follow-up, among the 148 patients, 29 patients lost their follow-up, and 119 were included in the final analysis. Of the 119 patients, 41 patients had adverse events and 78 patients had no adverse events. In the occurrence group, the expression levels of platelet membrane glycoprotein P-selectin and platelet activating complex were (20.22 ± 6.33)% and (68.80 ± 11.52)%, respectively, before drug treatment, and they were (15.77 ± 4.12)% and (43.19 ± 5.90%)%, respectively, after drug treatment, all of which were significantly higher than those in the non-occurrence group [before drug treatment: (16.85 ± 3.24)%, (62.34 ± 10.77)%, after drug treatment: (8.31 ± 2.97)%, (35.85 ± 5.14)%] (before drug treatment: t = 3.20, 2.97, both P < 0.05; after drug treatment: t = 10.28, 6.74, both P < 0.05). The incidences of aspirin resistance and clopidogrel resistance in the occurrence group were 51.2% (21/41) and 43.9% (20/41), respectively, which were significantly higher than 26.9% (8/78) and 19.2% (9/78) in the non-occurrence group ( χ2 = 24.47, 20.23, both P < 0.001). Spearman correlation analysis showed that both aspirin resistance and clopidogrel resistance were moderately positively correlated with adverse events after neurovascular intervention ( r = 0.45, 0.41, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:Adverse events after neurovascular intervention are moderately positively correlated with resistance to the antiplatelet drugs aspirin and clopidogrel.
