Objective:Based on data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021), this study aims to analyze the epidemiological trends of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in China from 1990 to 2021 and to assess the projected disease burden.Methods:Data on incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) for IBD in China from 1990 to 2021 were extracted from the GBD 2021 database. Annual percent change (EAPC) and Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) analyses were employed to evaluate these trends. Additionally, predictions for the disease burden over the next 25 years were made.Results:The age-standardized incidence rate of IBD in China rose from 0.74 per 100 000 in 1990 to 1.40 per 100 000 in 2021, an 89.19% increase. The age-standardized prevalence rate increased from 5.59 per 100 000 in 1990 to 9.16 per 100 000 in 2021, marking a 63.86% rise. Conversely, the age-standardized case fatality rate decreased from 0.75 per 100 000 in 1990 to 0.33 per 100 000 in 2021, a reduction of 56.00%. The total DALYs decreased from 162 186 in 1990 to 136 932 in 2021, a decline of 15.57%, while the age-standardized DALY rate fell from 18.38 per 100 000 in 1990 to 7.68 per 100 000 in 2021, a decrease of 58.22%. Analysis by age group revealed that the age-standardized incidence rate for the 35-39 years cohort increased most significantly, with an EAPC of 3.23%. The age-standardized prevalence rate for the 50-54 years cohort increased most significantly, with an EAPC of 2.85%. Gender analysis indicated that from 1990 to 2021, the age-standardized prevalence rate was higher among females than males, but the age-standardized case fatality rate rate was higher among males. From 2004 to 2021, the age-standardized DALY rate declined for both sexes, though it remained higher in males. By 2046, the number of new cases is projected to be slightly higher in males, while case fatality rate and DALYs are expected to remain low for both genders.Conclusions:Over the past three decades, the disease burden of IBD in China has increased significantly, particularly in terms of incidence and prevalence. Despite a general decrease in case fatality rates, the burden of IBD may increase in the elderly population due to aging demographics. Therefore, effective preventive measures, early screening, and aggressive treatment are crucial, especially for the elderly.

Objective To investigate sodium hydrogen sulfide(NaHS)with function of regulating glutathione(GSH)synthesis to reduce reactive oxygen species(ROS)production in type 2 diabetic cardiomyopathy(DCM).Methods Mouse cardiomyocyte cell line HL-1 was incubated with high concentration of glucose(HG:40 mmol/L)and palmitate(Pal:500 μmol/L)as a cell model of type 2 DCM.HL-1 cells were incubated with NaHS(100 μmol/L),DL-propargylglycin(PPG,1 mmol/L)and N-acetyl-l-cysteine(NAC,5 mmol/L),respectively for 72 hours.The expression of cystathionine-γ-lyase(CSE)and the key enzymes of glutathione production was tested by Western blot.Dihydroethidium(DHE)and dichlorofluoromethane(DCFH)were used to detect the content of ROS in HL-1 cells.Cell viability was detected by CCK8 kit.The content of total GSH was detected.The interaction between muscle specific ring finger protein 1(Murf1)and nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)and Nrf2 ubiquitylation was determined by co-immunoprecipitation(co-IP).Results Compared with control group,the expression level of CSE,solute carrier family 7 members 11(SLC7A11),glutamate cysteine ligase C(GCLC),glutamate cysteine ligase M(GCLM)and glutathione synthetase(GSS)in HL-1 cells treated incubated with high glucose and palmitate was decreased,however,NaHS was found to restore it.NaHS reduced the content of ROS in HL-1 cells treated with high glucose and palmitate.The interaction between murf1 and Nrf2 was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation(Co-IP).Compared with NaHS group,the ubiquitylation level of Nrf2 was enhanced in high glucose and palmitate group.Conclusions Sodium hydrosulfide may reduce the ubiquitylation level of Nrf2 and promote the expression of key enzymes of GSH synthesis.

Objective To investigate the function of sodium hydrosulfide(NaHS)to regulate mitochondrial fusion/fission in diabetic cardiomyopathy and underlying mechanism.Methods Db/db mice as type 2 diabetes animal model were treated by NaHS.H9C2 cells incubated with glucose(40 mmol/L),palmitic acid(200 μmol/L,Pal)and oleate(200 μmol/L,Ole)were intervened by NaHS(100 μmol/L).H2C9 cellswere divided into control,HG+Pal+Ole,HG+Pal+Ole+NaHS and Pal+Ole+DJ-1 siRNA+NaHS groups.The protein level of Mfn2,Fis1,CSE,and DJ-1 was determined by Western blot.Mitotracker staining was used to observe the morphology of mitochondria.The ultra-structural alteration of cardiac tissues was detected by transmission electron microscopy.The cardiac functions were detected by echocardiography.Results Expression of Fis1 was increased(P＜0.05)and expression of Mfn2 was decreased(P＜0.05)in db/db and H9C2 treated by HG+Pal+Ole compared to control group.NaHS could upregulate the expression DJ-1,enhance the expression of Mfn2,and reduce the expression of Fis1.In db/db mice,cardiac systolic function was reduced.Disordered arrangement of myofilament,loss of cristae and mitochondrial fission were observed.NaHS could ameliorate these alterations.Conclusions NaHS may alleviate mitochondria injury by promoting mitochondrial fusion.
