Objective To explore the relationship between triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index and hypertension in patients with cerebral hemorrhage.Methods A total of 1718 patients with cere-bral hemorrhage admitted to our hospital from January,2013 to May,2023 were enrolled in this study.According to the TyG index quartile,437 cases were assigned into Q1 group(≤8.375),424 cases into Q2 group(TyG index 8.376～8.737),429 cases into Q3 group(TyG index 8.738～9.087),and 428 cases into Q4 group(≥9.088).The general clinical data were compared in the four groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to study the correlation between TyG index and hy-pertension.Results There were significant differences among the four groups in terms of age,hy-pertension,diabetes,SBP,DBP,TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C,FBG,glycated hemoglobin and TyG in-dex(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that when the TyG index was a con-tinuous variable,it was significantly correlated with the risk of hypertension(OR=1.999,95％CI:1.393-2.869,P=0.001).When the index was used as a categorical variable,with Q1as a ref-erence,TyG index in Q3 and Q4 was associated with an increase in OR of hypertension(OR=1.869,95％CI:1.220-2.865,P=0.004;OR=1.844,95％CI:1.125-3.020,P=0.015).After ad-justing cofounders,the association of TyG index and risk of hypertension was stronger in the fe-males(OR=2.618,95％CI:1.312-5.221,P=0.006)than the males(OR=1.783,95％CI:1.151-2.761,P=0.010),and in the patients ≥65 years old(OR=3.277,95％CI:1.600-6.741,P=0.001)than those＜65 years old(OR=1.782,95％CI:1.076-2.949,P=0.025).Conclusion TyG index is closely associated with hypertension in patients with cerebral hemorrhage,especially in women and elderly.

Objective To explore the effect of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T(hs-cTnT)and frailty on all-cause mortality risk in elderly inpatients without acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted on 613 non-ACS inpatients admitted to our department from June 2015 to December 2019.According to the tertile fo hs-cTnT level,the patients were divided into the low hs-cTnT group(＜13 ng/L,n=184),median hs-cTnT group(13-19 ng/L,n=226),high hs-cTnT group(＞19 ng/L,n=203).Based on the results of Fried frailty scale,they were also assigned into a non-frail group(n=410)and a frail group(n=203).So,there were six groups,that is,low hs-cTnT and non-frail group(n=139),low hs-cTnT with frailty group(n=45),median hs-cTnT and non-frail group(n=172),median hs-cTnT with frail-ty group(n=54),high hs-cTnT and non-frail group(n=99),and high hs-cTnT with frailty group(n=104).Baseline clinical data were collected in all the patients.All of them were followed for 2 years to observe all-cause mortality.The effects of hs-cTnT and frailty on mortality risk were analyzed.The predictive value of hs-cTnT combined with Fried frailty classification for mortality was evaluated.Results During the 2-year follow-up,83(13.5％)all-cause deaths occurred.Cox regression analysis revealed that after adjustment for confounders,the high hs-cTnT and non-frail group had increased mortality risk than the low hs-cTnT and non-frail group(HR=3.005,95％CI:1.171-7.711,P=0.022),while the high hs-cTnT with frailty group had the high-est risk(HR=4.470,95％CI:1.775-11.255,P=0.001).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that an AUC value of hs-cTnT,Fried frailty score and their combination in predicting mortality was 0.694(95％CI:0.656-0.730,P＜0.01),0.669(95％CI:0.631-0.707,P＜0.01),and 0.723(95％CI:0.686-0.758,P＜0.01),respectively.Conclusion For the elderly non-ACS inpatients,those with hs-cTnT elevation and frailty are at the highest risk for all-cause mortality.The combination of hs-cTnT and Fried frailty score demonstrates higher predictive value than either indicator alone.

Objective To investigate the value of hs-cTnT in predicting all-cause death in the elderly with SCAD.Methods A prospective cohort observation study was conducted on 274 old adults with SCAD hospitalized in our department from January 2016 to January 2019.Their hs-cTnT level was measured,and according to the results,they were divided into lower(≤13.0 ng/L,94 cases),middle(14.0-22.0 ng/L,94 cases)and upper(≥23.0 ng/L,86 cases)tertile groups.The general clinical data were compared among the three groups.Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn to analyze the survival differences among groups.Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was applied to identify risk factors for mortality.ROC curve analysis was applied to evaluate the predictive value of hs-cTnT for all-cause mortality.Results During a me-dian follow-up period of 32 months,62(22.63％)patients died among the 274 patients,account-ing for 75.8％dying of non-cardiovascular diseases.There were statistically differences in the three tertile groups in terms of age,male ratio,proportions of hypertension,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic kidney disease,number of comorbidities,estimated glomerular fil-tration rate,albumin and hemoglobin levels,left ventricular ejection fraction,left ventricular mass index,and mortality rate(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).COX proportional hazards regression model showed the upper tertile group had significantly lower cumulative survival rate than the middle and lower tertile groups(Plog rank＜0.01).Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis indicated that hs-cTnT≥23.0 ng/L level was still a risk factor for death in both model 2(HR=3.749,95％CI:1.703-8.256,P=0.001)and model 3(HR=2.990,95％CI:1.358-6.581,P=0.007).ROC curve analysis revealed that the AUC value of hs-cTnT level in predicting death was 0.736,with a cut-off value of 25 ng/L.Conclusion For elderly SCAD patients,despite the existence of multiple comorbidities and the priority of non-cardiovascular death,hs-cTnT,a marker reflecting myocar-dial injury,is still a predictor for risk of death in the population.

Cashmere, also known as soft gold, is produced from the secondary hair follicles (SHFs) of cashmere goats. The number of SHFs determines the yield and quality of cashmere; therefore, it is of interest to investigate the transcriptional profiles present during cashmere goat hair follicle development. However, mechanisms underlying this development process remain largely unexplored, and studies regarding hair follicle development mostly use a murine research model. In this study, to provide a comprehensive understanding of cellular heterogeneity and cell fate decisions, single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on 19,705 single cells of the dorsal skin from cashmere goat fetuses at induction (embryonic day 60; E60), organogenesis (E90), and cytodifferentiation (E120) stages. For the first time, unsupervised clustering analysis identified 16 cell clusters, and their corresponding cell types were also characterized. Based on lineage inference, a detailed molecular landscape was revealed along the dermal and epidermal cell lineage developmental pathways. Notably, our current data also confirmed the heterogeneity of dermal papillae from different hair follicle types, which was further validated by immunofluorescence analysis. The current study identifies different biomarkers during cashmere goat hair follicle development and has implications for cashmere goat breeding in the future.

【Objective】 To retrospectively analyze the transfusion records of COVID-19 patients from Feb to Mar 2020 in the Optical Valley Branch of Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, and summarize the clinical features and blood use of those patients. 【Methods】 1) The utilization of blood components in 81 blood recipients were collected and retrospectively analyzed; 2) Propensity score matching (PSM, by the clinical classification of COVID-19) was used to match the transfused and non-transfused patients according to the ratio of 1∶2, and the clinical features of the two groups were compared. 【Results】 The total transfusion rate in our hospital was 5.5%(81/1 463), among which 88.9%(72/81)transfused red blood cell (RBC). Ten patients received RBC transfusion > 20 U, consumed 48.3%(330/680)RBC, 57.5%(53 500/93 100)plasma, 36.2%(42/116)platelets, and 62.3%(114.25/183.25)cryoprecipitates due to ECMO or gastrointestinal bleeding. Compared to non-transfused patients, transfused patients showed worse lab-indexes related to inflammation, infection, and coagulation at admission, higher incidences of acute liver, kidney and cardiac injury, admission to the ICU and mortality(P<0.01). 【Conclusion】 The related functional indexes and prognosis of transfused COVID-19 patients were significantly worse than non-transfused ones. RBC transfusions were dominant, and massive blood transfusions were seldom.

Objective:To investigate the cognitive level of wearing and removing personal protective equipment in COVID-19 isolation wards of Wuhan Fangcang shelter hospital, and provide the scientific basis for the training of hospital protection. Methods:Cognitive level of wearing and removing personal protective equipment in Wuhan Fangcang shelter hospital were investigated by using a questionnaire which included 14 related scales, including putting on and off protective equipment, hand hygiene disinfection and so on.Results:The total scale score of non-medical workers was 48.82±9.65, which was lower than the total scale score of doctors (55.46±1.29) and nurses (55.0±2.36), P<0.05. The each score of 14 items in the scale of non-medical workers was all lower than those of doctors and nurses ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in scale scores among doctors, nurses and medical technicians. The total score of the scale of non-medical workers in later period was 55.23±3.26, which was significantly higher than the total score of 44.50±10.14 in previous period, P<0.001. The total score of nurses and medical technicians in the later period was higher than those in the previous period, and the difference was statistically significant. There was no significant difference between the total score of the scale in the later period and that in the previous period. Conclusions:The cognition level of non-medical workers on wearing and removing personal protective devices was lower than those of doctors and nurses, strengthening the practice could improve cognition.
