Cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a widely used biomarker for assessing cardiovascular risk, can provide a window for the evaluation of drug-induced myocardial injury. Label-free biosensors are promising candidates for detecting cell secretomes, since they do not require labor-intensive processes. In this work, a label-free electrochemical aptasensor is developed for in situ monitoring of cardiac cell secretomes in cell culture media based on target-induced strand displacement. The aptasensing system contains an aptamer-functionalized signal nanoprobe facing trimetallic metal-organic framework nanosheets and a gold nanoparticle-based detection working electrode modified with DNA nanotetrahedron-based complementary DNA for indirect target detection. The signal nanoprobes (termed CAHA) consisted of copper-based metal-organic frameworks, AuPt nanoparticles, horseradish peroxidase, and an aptamer. When the aptasensor is exposed to cardiac cell secretomes, cTnI competitively binds to the aptamer, resulting in the release of signal nanoprobes from the biorecognition interface and electrochemical signal changes. The aptasensor exhibited rapid response times, a low detection limit of 0.31 pg/mL, and a wide linear range of 0.001-100 ng/mL. We successfully used this aptasensor to measure cTnI concentrations among secreted cardiac markers during antitumor drug treatment. In general, aptasensors can be used to monitor a variety of cardiac biomarkers in the evaluation of cardiotoxicity.

Objective: To investigate sleep quality among patients with hypertension and diabetes, so as to provide the basis for improving the health of patients with chronic diseases. Methods: From May to August 2022, patients with hypertension and diabetes under the community management in 4 counties and cities (districts) of Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province were recruited using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method. Demographic information, disease history, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity and sleep quality were collected by questionnaire surveys, and blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were collected through physical examination and laboratory testing. The incidence of poor sleep quality symptoms (snoring/asphyxia/suffocation, difficulty falling asleep, night awakening, taking sleeping pills and early morning awakening) in patients with diabetes and hypertension was descriptively analyzed, and sleep quality was evaluated. Results: A total of 1 539 patients with hypertension and diabetes were surveyed, including 715 males (46.46%) and 824 females (53.54%). The patients had a mean age of (68.68±7.62) years. The proportions of night awakening, early morning awakening, snoring/asphyxia/suffocation, difficulty falling asleep and taking sleeping pills were 29.82%, 28.53%, 20.73%, 15.79% and 4.29%, respectively. The proportion of poor sleep quality was 66.54%. Employment status, smoking status, moderate/high intensity physical activity and blood pressure control were related to poor sleep quality (all P<0.05). Conclusion Poor sleep quality is common in patients with hypertension and diabetes, with the main symptoms being night awakening, early morning awakening, difficulty falling asleep and snoring/asphyxia/suffocation.

Objective: To investigate the situation of road traffic injuries (RTIs) among middle school students in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the basis for implementation of interventions against RTIs among students. Methods: From 2021 to 2023, a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 82 junior high school classes and 89 senior high school classes in Shaoxing City as the survey population. Data on basic information, commuting travel, road safety behaviors and road safety knowledge awareness were collected through questionnaires, and the prevalence of RTIs in the past year was analyzed. Results: A total of 6 287 middle school students were surveyed, and 971 cases of RTIs were reported, with a reporting rate of 15.44%. The reporting rate of RTIs was higher in males than in females (17.68% vs. 13.34%, P<0.05). The reporting rate of RTIs was higher in high school students than in junior high school students (17.70% vs. 12.66%, P<0.05). The students who mainly walked to school (18.00%), walked 5 days a week (17.82%) and traveled with classmates (17.58%) had higher reporting rates of RTIs. Among those who walked for ≥20 minutes, the reporting rate of RTIs was higher in males than in females (P<0.05). Among different road safety behaviors, the reporting rate of RTIs was higher in males than in females who used electronic devices (P<0.05). The reporting rates of RTIs were relatively high among students who played for ≥10 minutes on the way (32.92%), crossed traffic lights directly when being late for school (41.54%) and crossed traffic barriers directly (30.67%). The reporting rate of RTIs among middle school students decreased with the increase of road safety knowledge scores (P<0.05). Conclusions Male students, high school students, students with road risky behaviors and with low awareness of road safety knowledge have higher reporting rates of RTIs. It is necessary to strengthen road safety knowledge education for students.

Objective: To investigate the clustering of risk factors among populations at high risk of cardiovascular diseases in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the cardiovascular disease control measures among populations at high risk of cardiovascular diseases. Methods: The populations with hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and a history of cardio-cerebrovascular disease at ages of 35 to 70 years were sampled from 6 districts (counties) of Shaoxing City using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method from May to July 2021. Participants' demographics, history of disease, smoking, alcohol consumption and drug use were collected through questionnaires, and height, body weight and blood lipid were measured. The participants at high risk of cardiovascular diseases were enrolled, and the prevalence and clustering of five risk factors were investigated, including current smoking, current alcohol consumption, overweight/obesity, never exercise and daily sedentary duration of 3 hours and longer. Factors affecting the clustering of risk factors were identified with an ordinal logistic regression model. Results: Totally 1 695 participants were enrolled, including 940 men (55.46%) and 755 women (44.54%), with a mean age of (62.56±6.08) years old. There were 213 participants with a history of cardio-cerebrovascular disease (12.57%), and the prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia was 78.53%, 61.95% and 46.78%, respectively, and there were 32.63% of participants with current smoking, 35.99% with current alcohol consumption, 49.38% with overweight/obesity, 62.12% with never exercise and 61.24% with daily sedentary duration of 3 hours and longer, respectively. There were 28.85% of participants with two risk factors, and 46.90% with three to five risk factors. Ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that male (OR=5.430, 95%CI: 4.389-6.726), and development of hypertension (OR=1.655, 95%CI: 1.313-2.090) led to present more numbers of clustering of risk factors, and annual household income of 20 000 to 50 000 Yuan (OR=0.620, 95%CI: 0.473-0.812), a history of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (OR=0.430, 95%CI: 0.324-0.572), presence of diabetes (OR=0.592, 95%CI: 0.476-0.736) led to less numbers of clustering of risk factors among populations at high risk of cardiovascular diseases. Conclusions There is clustering of risk factors among populations at high risk of cardiovascular diseases in Shaoxing City. Men, income, history of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension and diabetes are factors affecting the clustering of risk factors.

Under the influence of the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the disadvantages of traditional blended teaching, which has been developed for 20 years, are gradually being revealed. With the help of modern network technology and under the guidance of minimalism, the new blended teaching model adheres to the principle of systematic, holistic, ecological, and collaborative reform and thus can not only efficiently realize the teaching goal of "improvement in self-learning ability and high-order thinking ability", but also achieve innovation and inheritance of "excellent teaching concepts and methods". On this basis, this study forms the "151 framework and BASIC mechanism", which will promote the reform and upgrading of blended teaching from point to surface and then to a three-dimensional structure and ensure that blended teaching has stronger vitality in the new era.

Course assessment is the important part of teaching and education.Double effects of improving the teaching and education quality can be achieved through emphasizing assessment methods,separating teaching and testing,building test bank and network exam,offering course of basic clinical skills as well as verified assessment methods,such as stage-based comprehensive exam,unified exam of the course,national entrance exam.The first pass rate of national medical practitioner qualification exam can be guaranteed through implementing these measures.
