Background::Although overnight fasting is recommended prior to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the benefits and safety of high-carbohydrate fluid diet (CFD) intake 2 h before ERCP remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze whether high-CFD intake 2 h before ERCP can be safe and accelerate patients’ recovery.Methods::This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial involved 15 tertiary ERCP centers. A total of 1330 patients were randomized into CFD group ( n = 665) and fasting group ( n = 665). The CFD group received 400 mL of maltodextrin orally 2 h before ERCP, while the control group abstained from food/water overnight (>6 h) before ERCP. All ERCP procedures were performed using deep sedation with intravenous propofol. The investigators were blinded but not the patients. The primary outcomes included postoperative fatigue and abdominal pain score, and the secondary outcomes included complications and changes in metabolic indicators. The outcomes were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat principle. Results::The post-ERCP fatigue scores were significantly lower at 4 h (4.1 ± 2.6 vs. 4.8 ± 2.8, t = 4.23, P <0.001) and 20 h (2.4 ± 2.1 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4, t= 7.94, P <0.001) in the CFD group, with least-squares mean differences of 0.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.71, P <0.001) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.57–0.95, P <0.001), respectively. The 4-h pain scores (2.1 ± 1.7 vs. 2.2 ± 1.7, t = 2.60, P = 0.009, with a least-squares mean difference of 0.21 [95% CI: 0.05–0.37]) and positive urine ketone levels (7.7% [39/509] vs. 15.4% [82/533], χ2 = 15.13, P <0.001) were lower in the CFD group. The CFD group had significantly less cholangitis (2.1% [13/634] vs. 4.0% [26/658], χ2 = 3.99, P = 0.046) but not pancreatitis (5.5% [35/634] vs. 6.5% [43/658], χ2 = 0.59, P = 0.444). Subgroup analysis revealed that CFD reduced the incidence of complications in patients with native papilla (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39–0.95, P = 0.028) in the multivariable models. Conclusion::Ingesting 400 mL of CFD 2 h before ERCP is safe, with a reduction in post-ERCP fatigue, abdominal pain, and cholangitis during recovery.Trail Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT03075280.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect and mechanism of electroacupuncture at Jiaji(EX-B2)points for lumbar disc degeneration in rats.Methods Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into the sham-operation group,model group and electroacupuncture group,with 10 rats in each group.The rats in the model group and electroacupuncture group were constructed a lumbar disc degeneration model by annulus fibrosus puncture method,and the sham-operation group was only given separation of intervertebral discs without other treatments.After successful modeling,the electroacupuncture group was treated with electroacupuncture at the L4 and L5 bilateral Jiaji points.No treatment was given to the sham-operation group and the model group.At the end of the intervention,the paw withdrawal mechanical threshold(PMWT)was detected by electronic Von Frey filaments,the changes of the structure of lumbar disc in rats were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,the levels of interleukin 1β(IL-1β)and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)in the supernatant of lumbar intervertebral disc tissues were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and the ratio of nucleus pulposus cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry,real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)method was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of Fas-associated death domain protein(FADD),cysteinyl aspartate specific protease 8(Caspase-8),B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 2(Bcl-2)-associated X protein(Bax)and Bcl-2 in the nucleus pulposus of lumbar intervertebral disc,the protein expression levels of FADD,Caspase-8,Bax,and Bcl-2 in the nucleus pulposus of lumbar intervertebral disc were detected by Western Blot.Results The overall structure of the intervertebral disc in rats of the model group was abnormal and obvious degeneration was seen;the degeneration of intervertebral disc tissue in the electroacupuncture group was significantly improved compared with that of the model group.Compared with the sham-operation group,the model group showed lower PWMT,and the higher levels of IL-1β and TNF-α,the increased proportion of G0/G1 nucleus pulposus cells and decreased proportion of G2/M nucleus pulposus cells,and the increased mRNA and protein expression levels of FADD,Caspase-8 and Bax and the decreased mRNA and protein levels of Bcl-2,the differences being statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the electroacupuncture group showed higher PWMT,the lower levels of IL-1β and TNF-α,the decreased proportion of G0/G1 nucleus pulposus cells and the increased proportion of G2/M nucleus pulposus cells,and the decreased mRNA and protein expression levels of FADD,Caspase-8 and Bax and the increased mRNA and protein levels of Bcl-2,the differences being statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture at the Jiaji points can alleviate inflammatory reaction,regulate nucleus pulposus cell cycle to improve the structural changes of lumbar disc through regulating the FADD/Caspase-8 signaling pathway to inhibit apoptosis,thereby slowing down rat lumbar disc degeneration.

Objective:Assisted traction technology is effective in increasing the rate of super minimally invasive surgery (SMIS) in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC), and shortening the operator′s learning curve. We adopt the variable angle traction technique of tissue clamp dental floss as a traction technique in this research.Methods:Patients with early gastric cancer who were treated with SMIS - non full layer resection of EGC were enrolled in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2022 to June 2023. This research was carried out by experts at the same level. It was divided into two groups: traction and non-traction. Submucosal detachment time (SDT), submucosal detachment rate (SDS), lamina propria exposure, muscularis propria defect (MPD), bleeding during operation, block resection, surgical resection, hand operation expenses, and surgical instruments were recorded.Results:Nine patients adopted variable angle traction, and 9 patients did not. The overall resection rate and curative resection rate of both groups were 100%. The mean SDT time was 28.00 (21.00, 34.00) min in traction group and 56.00 (40.00, 85.00) min in non traction group. And it had statistical significance ( P = 0.005). The SDS was (0.58 ± 0.21) cm 2/min in traction group and (0.23 ± 0.10) cm 2/min in non-traction group. And it had statistical significance ( P<0.05). Exposure of intrinsic muscle layer (IML): 8 cases in the traction group and 6 cases in the non-traction group. Intraoperative IML injury: in the traction group, 8 cases were MPD-0 and 1 case was MPD-Ft; in the non-traction group, 4 cases were MPD-0, 1 case was MPD-Pt, and 4 cases were MPD-Ft. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of intraoperative bleeding, hospitalization expenses, surgical expenses, and the total hospitalization time. There were no serious adverse reactions or outcomes. Conclusions:The variable angle traction method accelerates SDT and SDS for SMIS-non full layer resection of EGC. It has the advantages of the sufficient separation of IML and mucosal layer, the deeper dissection depth, the low injury of IML, low intraoperative bleeding, and no additional medical costs. Therefore, this method can become an auxiliary treatment technology for SMIS.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between spread through air spaces(STAS) of peripheral stage ⅠA small adenocarcinoma of the lung(≤2 cm) and related factors such as clinical and CT morphological features, and to construct a nomogram model.Methods:Relevant clinical, pathological and imaging data of patients who underwent lung surgery and were diagnosed as peripheral stage ⅠA small lung adenocarcinoma by postoperative pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from 2017 to 2022 were collected, of which cases that met the inclusion criteria from 2017 to 2021 served as the training group, and those that met the inclusion criteria in 2022 served as the validation group. The independent risk factors for the occurrence of STAS in peripheral stage ⅠA lung small adenocarcinoma were investigated by using univariate analysis and multifactorial logistic regression analysis, based on which a nomogram prediction model was constructed, and the subjects were analyzed by using the receiver operating characteristic curve( ROC), correction model, etc. were used to evaluate the model. Results:A total of 430 patients who met the criteria were included, including 351 patients in the training group(109 STAS-positive and 242 STAS-negative) and 79 patients in the validation group(23 STAS-positive and 56 STAS-negative). Univariate analysis showed that the patients in the two groups showed a significant difference in age(>58 years old), gender, smoking history, tumor location(subpleural, non-subpleural), pleural pull, nodule type, nodule maximal diameter, solid component maximal diameter, consolidation tumor ratio(CTR), lobulation sign, burr sign, bronchial truncation sign, vascular sign(includes thickening and distortion of blood vessels in/around the nodes), satellite lesions, and ground-glass band sign were statistically significant( P<0.05). The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that CTR( OR=4.98, P<0.001), lobulation sign( OR=4.07, P=0.013), burr sign( OR=3.66, P<0.001), and satellite lesions( OR=3.56, P=0.009) were the independent risk factors for the occurrence of STAS. Applying the above factors to construct the nomogram model and validate the model, the results showed that the ROC curve was plotted by the nomogram prediction model, and the area under the ROC curve( AUC) of the training set was 0.840(sensitivity 0.835, specificity 0.734), and the validation set had an AUC value of 0.852(sensitivity 0.786, specificity 0.783), and the training set and validation set calibration curves have good overlap with the ideal curve. Conclusion:CTR, lobular sign, burr sign, and satellite lesions are independent risk factors for STAS, and the nomogram model constructed in this study has good predictive value.

Objective:To investigate distribution and drug resistance of pathogens of bloodstream infection in patients with hematological malignancies,in order to provide reference for clinical infection control and treatment.Methods:The clinical information of blood culture patients in the hematology department of our hospital from January 2016 to December 2021 was reviewed.They were divided into transplantation group and non-transplantation group according to whether they had undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.The types of pathogens and their drug resistance were analyzed.Results:Two hundred and ninety-nine positive strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected.In the transplantation group,Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 68.5％(50/73),Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 6.8％(5/73),and fungi accounted for 24.7％(18/73).The resistance rate of Escherichia coli to the third-generation cephalosporins was 77.8％,and 11.5％to carbapenems.The resistance rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae to the third-generation cephalosporins was 50.0％,and 56.2％to carbapenems.In the non-transplantation group,Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 64.1％(145/226),Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 31.0％(70/226),and fungi accounted for 4.9％(11/226).Gram-positive bacteria were mainly Enterococcus faecium(6.6％,15/226)and Coagulase-negative Staphylococci(6.2％,14/226).The fungi were all Candida tropicalis.The resistance rate of Escherichia coli to the third-generation cephalosporins was 63.8％,and 10.3％to carbapenems.The resistance rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae to the third-generation cephalosporins was 46.3％,and 26.8％to carbapenems.Conclusion:The types of pathogenic bacteria in bloodstream infection in patients with hematological malignancies are varied.Gram-negative bacteria is the main pathogenic bacteria.The resistance of pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics is severe.Antibiotics should be used scientifically and reasonably according to the detection and resistance of pathogenic bacteria.

Objective: Data for 2016 from cancer registries were used to estimate cancer incidence and mortality in China in 2016. Methods: According to the quality control process of the National Central Cancer Registry, the data from 683 cancer registries submitted by each province were evaluated, and the data of 487 cancer registries were qualified and included in the final analysis. Age-specific incidence and mortality rates were calculated by area (urban/rural), sex, age and cancer site, combined with national population data to estimate cancer incidence and mortality in China in 2016. Chinese population census in 2000 and Segi's population were used for age-standardized incidence and mortality rates. Results: Total population covered by 487 cancer registries was 381 565 422 (192 628 370 in urban and 188 937 052 in rural areas). The percentages of morphologically verified (MV%) and death certificate-only cases (DCO%) accounted for 68.31% and 1.40%, respectively, and the mortality to incidence ratio was 0.61. It was estimated about 4 064 000 new cases occurred in China in 2016, with the crude incidence rate being 293.91/100 000 (the rates of males and females were 315.52/100 000 and 271.23/100 000), age-standardized incidence rates by Chinese standard population (ASIRC) and by world standard population (ASIRW) were 190.76/100 000 and 186.46/100 000, with the cumulative incidence rate (0-74 years old) being 21.42%. The crude incidence and ASIRC were 314.74/100 000 and 196.38/100 000 in urban areas, whereas in rural areas, they were 265.90/100 000 and 182.21/100 000, respectively. It was estimated about 2 413 500 cancer deaths occurred in China in 2016, the crude mortality rate was 174.55/100 000 (216.16/100 000 in males and 130.88/100 000 in females), the age-standardized mortality rates by Chinese standard population (ASMRC) and by world standard population (ASMRW) were 106.00/100 000 and 105.19/100 000, and the cumulative mortality rate (0-74 years old) was 11.85%. The crude mortality and ASMRC were 180.31/100 000 and 104.44/100 000 in urban areas, whereas in rural areas, they were 166.81/100 000 and 108.01/100 000, respectively. The most common cancer cases include lung, colorectal, stomach, liver and female breast cancers. The top five cancers accounted for about 57.27% of all cancer cases. The most common cancer deaths included lung, liver, stomach, colorectal and esophageal cancers. The top five cancers accounted for about 69.25% of all cancer deaths. Conclusions: The burden of cancer shows a continuous increasing trend in China. Regional and gender differences in cancer burden are obvious. The cancer patterns still show the coexistence of cancer patterns in developed countries and developing countries. The situation of cancer prevention and control is still serious in China.

During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of choledocholithiasis com-bined with periampullary diverticulum and influencing factor for difficult cannulation of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 1 920 patients who underwent ERCP for choledocholithiasis in 15 medical centers, including the First Hospital of Lanzhou University, et al, from July 2015 to December 2017 were collected. There were 915 males and 1 005 females, aged (63±16)years. Of 1 920 patients, there were 228 cases with periampullary diverticulum and 1 692 cases without periampullary diverticulum. Observation indicators: (1) clinical characteristics of patients with choledocholithiasis; (2) intraoperative and postoperative situations of patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis; (3) influencing factor analysis for difficult cannulation in patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range) or M( Q1, Q3), and com-parison between groups was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. The Logistic regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:(1) Clinical characteristics of patients with choledocholithiasis. Age, body mass index, cases with complications as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diameter of common bile duct, cases with diameter of common bile duct as <8 mm, 8?12 mm, >12 mm, diameter of stone, cases with number of stones as single and multiple were (69±12)years, (23.3±3.0)kg/m 2, 16, (14±4)mm, 11, 95, 122, (12±4)mm, 89, 139 in patients with choledocholithiasis combined with periampullary diverticulum, versus (62±16)years, (23.8±2.8)kg/m 2, 67, (12±4)mm, 159, 892, 641, (10±4)mm, 817, 875 in patients with choledocholithiasis not combined with periampullary diver-ticulum, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=?7.55, 2.45, χ2=4.54, t=?4.92, Z=4.66, t=?7.31, χ2=6.90, P<0.05). (2) Intraoperative and postoperative situations of patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis. The balloon expansion diameter, cases with intraoperative bleeding, cases with hemorrhage management of submucosal injection, hemostatic clip, spray hemostasis, electrocoagulation hemostasis and other treatment, cases with endoscopic plastic stent placement, cases with endoscopic nasal bile duct drainage, cases with mechanical lithotripsy, cases with stone complete clearing, cases with difficult cannulation, cases with delayed intubation, cases undergoing >5 times of cannulation attempts, cannulation time, X-ray exposure time, operation time were 10.0(range, 8.5?12.0)mm, 56, 6, 5, 43, 1, 1, 52, 177, 67, 201, 74, 38, 74, (7.4±3.1)minutes, (6±3)minutes, (46±19)minutes in patients with choledocholithiasis combined with periampullary diverticulum, versus 9.0(range, 8.0?11.0)mm, 243, 35, 14, 109, 73, 12, 230, 1 457, 167, 1 565, 395, 171, 395, (6.6±2.9)minutes, (6±5)minutes, (41±17)minutes in patients with choledocholithiasis not combined with periampullary diverticulum, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=6.31, χ2=15.90, 26.02, 13.61, 11.40, 71.51, 5.12, 9.04, 8.92, 9.04, t=?3.89, 2.67, ?3.61, P<0.05). (3) Influencing factor analysis for difficult cannulation in patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis. Results of multivariate analysis showed total bilirubin >30 umol/L, number of stones >1, combined with periampullary diverticulum were indepen-dent risk factors for difficult cannulation in patients with periampullary diverticulum who underwent ERCP for choledocholithiasis ( odds ratio=1.31, 1.48, 1.44, 95% confidence interval as 1.06?1.61, 1.20?1.84, 1.06?1.95, P<0.05). Results of further analysis showed that, of 1 920 patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis, the incidence of postoperative pancreatitis was 17.271%(81/469) and 8.132%(118/1 451) in the 469 cases with difficult cannulation and 1 451 cases without difficult cannula-tion, respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=31.86, P<0.05). In the 1 692 patients with choledocholithiasis not combined with periampullary diverticulum, the incidence of postopera-tive pancreatitis was 17.722%(70/395) and 8.250%(107/1 297) in 395 cases with difficult cannula-tion and 1 297 cases without difficult cannulation, respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=29.00, P<0.05). In the 228 patients with choledocholithiasis combined with peri-ampullary diverticulum, the incidence of postoperative pancreatitis was 14.865%(11/74) and 7.143%(11/154) in 74 cases with difficult cannulation and 154 cases without difficult cannulation, respectively, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=3.42, P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with patients with choledocholithiasis not combined with periampullary divertioulum, periampullary divertioulum often occurs in choledocholithiasis patients of elderly and low body mass index. The proportion of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is high in choledocholithiasis patients with periampullary diverticulum, and the diameter of stone is large, the number of stone is more in these patients. Combined with periampullary diverticulum will increase the difficult of cannulation and the ratio of patient with mechanical lithotripsy, and reduce the ratio of patient with stone complete clearing without increasing postoperative complications of choledocholithiasis patients undergoing ERCP. Total bilirubin >30 μmol/L, number of stones >1, combined with periampullary diverticulum are independent risk factors for difficult cannulation in patients of periampullary diverticulum who underwent ERCP for choledocholithiasis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the significance of anti-histidyl tRNA synthetase (Jo-1) antibody in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and its diseases spectrum. METHODS: We enrolled all the patients who were tested positive for anti-Jo-1 antibody by immunoblotting in Peking University People's Hospital between 2016 and 2022. And the patients diagnosed with anti-synthetase antibody syndrome (ASS) with negative serum anti-Jo-1 antibody were enrolled as controls. We analyzed the basic information, clinical characteristics, and various inflammatory and immunological indicators of the patients at the onset of illness. RESULTS: A total of 165 patients with positive anti-Jo-1 antibody were enrolled in this study. Among them, 80.5% were diagnosed with connective tissue disease. And 57.6% (95/165) were diagnosed with IIM, including ASS (84/165, 50.9%), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (7/165, 4.2%) and dermatomyositis (4/165, 2.4%). There were 23.0% (38/165) diagnosed with other connective tissue disease, mainly including rheumatoid arthritis (11/165, 6.7%), undifferentiated connective tissue disease (5/165, 3.0%), interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (5/165, 3.0%), undifferentiated arthritis (4/165, 2.4%), Sjögren's syndrome (3/165, 1.8%), systemic lupus erythematosus (3/165, 1.8%), systemic vasculitis (3/165, 1.8%), and so on. Other cases included 3 (1.8%) malignant tumor patients, 4 (2.4%) infectious cases and so on. The diagnoses were not clear in 9.1% (15 /165) of the cohort. In the analysis of ASS subgroups, the group with positive serum anti-Jo-1 antibody had a younger age of onset than those with negative serum anti-Jo-1 antibody (49.9 years vs. 55.0 years, P=0.026). Clinical manifestations of arthritis (60.7% vs. 33.3%, P=0.002) and myalgia (47.1% vs. 22.2%, P=0.004) were more common in the ASS patients with positive anti-Jo-1 antibody. With the increase of anti-Jo-1 antibody titer, the incidence of the manifestations of arthritis, mechanic hands, Gottron sign and Raynaud phenomenon increased, and the proportion of abnormal creatine kinase and α-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase index increased in the ASS patients. The incidence of myalgia and myasthenia were significantly more common in this cohort when anti-Jo-1 antibody-positive ASS patients were positive for one and more myositis specific antibodies/myositis associated autoantibodies (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The disease spectrum in patients with positive serum anti-Jo-1 antibody includes a variety of diseases, mainly ASS. And anti-Jo-1 antibody can also be found in many connective tissue diseases, malignant tumor, infection and so on.

Objective:To explore the differences of physical activity levels between Chinese and British patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its influencing factors.Methods:Based on the baseline survey of China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) and United Kingdom Biobank (UKB), we identified the case and control group according to the self-reported disease history in the questionnaire. Metabolic equivalent of task, as the assessment of physical activity level, was graded according to the tertiles of specific ages and genders. Multiple logistic regression models were used to analyze the correlation between CVD status and physical activity levels.Results:We included 509 170 Chinese adults and 360 360 British adults in the analysis. After adjusting for multiple factors, we found a positive correlation between CVD patients and low physical activity levels in both CKB and UKB populations (CKB: OR=1.21, 95% CI:1.17-1.25; UKB: OR=1.24, 95% CI:1.20-1.28). There was a high correlation between the prevalence of CVD and low physical activity levels in males with CKB ( OR=1.33, 95% CI:1.27-1.40).Unlike the UKB population, as the length of CVD increased, the physical activity levels of CKB patients gradually approached that of the non-CVD population, and stroke was positively correlated with low physical activity levels ( OR=1.46, 95% CI:1.38-1.53). The decline in physical activity was more pronounced among CKB and UKB CVD patients with lower educational levels, current or former smokers or drinkers, and those with other chronic diseases. In CKB, there showed a high correlation between CVD disease and low physical activity levels in rural areas and non-retired populations. In UKB, there appeared a higher correlation between CVD disease and low physical activity levels in urban and non-working populations. Conclusions:The physical activity levels of CVD patients in both China and the UK were lower than that in non-CVD population. In addition to low-educated individuals, current or former smokers or drinkers, and those with other chronic diseases, it is critical to pay attention to the physical activity levels of rural, male, and non-retirees among Chinese patients.
