BACKGROUND:A large number of cell and animal tests have confirmed the effect of mesenchymal stem cells on improving ovarian function,and some clinical trials have been completed and their effectiveness has been preliminarily confirmed,bringing hope to women with premature ovarian failure.OBJECTIVE:To summarize and analyze the mechanism,research progress,and related clinical trials of mesenchymal stem cells from different sources in the treatment of premature ovarian failure in recent years,so as to provide a theoretical basis for further research and clinical application of mesenchymal stem cell therapy for premature ovarian failure.METHODS:Using "mesenchymal stem cells,premature ovarian failure" as keywords in Chinese and English,the relevant literature was searched in CNKI,WanFang Data,Chinese Medical Database,and PubMed database,and finally 72 articles that met the requirements were included for review.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Currently,there are seven types of commonly used mesenchymal stem cells for premature ovarian failure,which are umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,placental mesenchymal stem cells,menstrual blood mesenchymal stem cells,amniotic mesenchymal stem cells,amniotic fluid mesenchymal stem cells,and adipose mesenchymal stem cells.The mechanisms include inhibiting apoptosis and promoting proliferation,anti-inflammatory and inhibiting oxidative stress,homing,promoting angiogenesis,anti-fibrosis,parasecretory,immune regulation,autophagy,and improving microenvironment.Cell and animal experiments have proven that different sources of mesenchymal stem cells can have better intervention effect on premature ovarian failure through various mechanisms,and delay the progress of premature ovarian failure to a certain extent.If it can be successfully applied to the clinic in the future,it can alleviate the psychological and physical pain of patients to a great extent.However,due to the lack of comprehensive and accurate evidence in clinical studies such as stem cell source,administration mode and dose,adverse reactions,etc.,further studies are still needed to confirm it in the future,and its long-term safety needs to be further observed.

Objective:To explore the latent categories of nurses' perception of high-performance work systems (HPWS) through latent profile analysis and analyze the differences in characteristics and influencing factors among different categories.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 3 450 clinical nurses from ClassⅡ、Ⅲ hospitals in 12 regions of China between June and July 2024. General information questionnaires, the Perceived High-Performance Work System Scale, and the Nurse Voice Behavior Scale were used for data collection. Latent profile analysis was conducted to analyze nurses' perception of HPWS, and multi-class logistic regression was used to examine the influencing factors for different categories.Results:A total of 3 450 questionnaires were collected, with 3 385 valid responses, yielding an effective response rate of 98.12%. Nurses' perception of HPWS had an average score of (70.46±12.21), which could be divided into three latent categories: low perception (17%, 559/3 385), moderate perception (42%, 1 433/3 385), and high perception (41%, 1 393/3 385). The multi-class logistic regression analysis showed that job nature, title, position, years of service, monthly income, health impact on work, work duration, and monthly night shifts were significant factors influencing nurses' perception of HPWS ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:There is heterogeneity in the nurses' perception of HPWS. Nursing managers should focus on nurses with low perception of HPWS and provide interventions and support based on the characteristics and influencing factors of each category to improve nurses' voice behaviors.

Objective:To investigate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of falls among the elderly community population in Beijing.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted using stratified multistage random sampling to select urban and rural residents aged 65 years and older in Beijing. Mortality data was collected after the baseline survey for 5 years. The incidence of falls was weighted based on the composition ratios of age and gender from the 2010 Nation-wide Population Census of Beijing. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the impacts of demographic sociology of common chronic diseases on fall occurrence. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the fall and 5-year survival association.Results:A total of 2 968 participants completed the questionnaire, at cross-sectional survey, with an average age of (73.2±6.0) years, and 1 581 (53.8%) participants were female. Three hundred and sixty-one individuals experienced a fall within the past year. Among those who fell, 64 (17.7%) fell twice, and 95 (26.6%) fell three or more times. Of them, 14.4% (52) had post-fall fractures, with the wrist, knee, and hip being the most common fracture sites, accounting for 25.0%, 17.3%, and 15.4%, respectively. The weighted fall incidence was 12.4% (95% CI: 11.2%-13.5%). Aging, being female, and living in rural areas were more likely to fall. Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, and urban-rural status, the risk of falls for those living alone ( OR=1.48, 95% CI: 1.08-2.04) or living with children/grandchildren ( OR=1.51, 95% CI: 1.15-1.97) were significantly higher than those living with their spouse. In addition, the risk of falls was elevated significantly among the elderly with hypertension, diabetes, stroke, dementia, depression status, urinary incontinence, arthritis, insomnia, vision, and hearing loss, dependence on activities of daily living (ADL), general and poor self-rated health (SRH). The Cox proportional hazard regression model revealed that the 5-year risk of death increased by 65% ( HR=1.65, 95% CI: 1.29-2.11) for those who experienced a fall, which increased with fall frequency. This elevated risk persisted after adjusting for chronic conditions, ADL, and SRH. Conclusions:Ageing, female, living in rural regions, having common chronic diseases, dependence on ADL, general and poor SRH, living alone or living with children/grandchildren were associated with the elevated fall risk. The occurrence of fall was seasonal. The most common short-term adverse consequence after a fall was fractures, while the long-term effect was an increased risk of death.

Objective:To compare the effects of different appointment regimens on the daily waiting time, fixedness of treatment time and lateness rate of radiotherapy patients.Methods:Medical records of 5488 radiotherapy from 332 patients on the same linear accelerator in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from March to June 2022 were selected. Based on the radiotherapy information integration platform of MOSAIQ, all patients were randomly assigned to the morning class, afternoon class and evening class. Traditional manual appointment regimen was adopted for the morning class, 30 min appointment regimen for the afternoon class, and 15 min appointment regimen for the evening class, respectively. The differences in patient waiting time for treatment, fixedness of treatment time, and lateness rate under different appointment regimens were compared. The fixedness of treatment time and waiting time was determined by one-way ANOVA, and the 2×3 Chi-square test was adopted for the lateness rate. Results:The waiting time in the 15 min appointment, the 30 min appointment and manual appointment groups were (27.08 ± 17.21), (34.57± 19.12) and (41.50 ±20.94) min, respectively. There was statistical significance among three appointment regimens ( F=254.97, P<0.001). The waiting time was the shortest in the 15 min appointment group, followed by the 30 min appointment group, and the manual appointment group (all P<0.001 for two-group comparison). The fixedness of treatment time in the 15 min appointment, the 30 min appointment and the manual appointment groups were (15.60±7.87), (18.69±8.94) and (24.30±15.10) min, respectively. There was statistical significance among three groups ( F=25.23, P<0.001). Among them, the fixedness of treatment time in the 15 min appointment group was the highest, followed by the 30 min appointment group, and the manual appointment group (all P<0.001). The lateness rates in the 15 min appointment, the 30 min appointment and the manual appointment groups were 5.7%, 6.2% and 9.6%, respectively. The lateness rate in the manual appointment group was higher than those in the 15 min appointment and the 30 min appointment groups ( χ2=19.24、14.90, both P<0.001), but there was no statistical significance in the lateness rate between the 15 min appointment and 30min appointment groups ( χ2=0.39, P=0.535). Conclusion:In the clinical practice of conventional intensity-modulated radiotherapy technology carried out by conventional linear accelerator, the 15 min appointment regimen can shorten the waiting time for radiotherapy and improve the fixedness of daily radiotherapy time, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Mitochondria are abundant in hepatocytes and play an important role in the normal operation of the liver. Mitochondrial division/fusion is two biological processes that maintain the dynamic balance of mitochondria， and it is closely associated with the change of cell function and the development and progression of diseases. Balance of mitochondrial division/fusion is of key significance in the treatment of many diseases. Recent studies have shown that abnormal mitochondrial division/fusion plays a significant role in fatty liver disease， hepatitis， liver fibrosis， and liver cancer， which are the four stages of the progression of liver diseases， and the therapeutic targets based on the regulation of such abnormalities are constantly being identified. By reviewing the role of mitochondrial division/fusion in different stages of liver disease， this article further demonstrates the role of mitochondrial division/fusion mechanism in chronic liver diseases and also provides a scientific basis for more ideas on the treatment， remission or even reversal of liver disease progression based on mitochondrial division/fusion.

Objective:To study the association between subtypes of hypertension and risk for all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular mortalities in the elderly in communities of Beijing.Methods:The data were collected from the Beijing Healthy Aging Cohort Study. The elderly in 5 urban areas (former Xicheng, former Xuanwu, Fangshan, Haidian and Tongzhou) and 4 rural areas (Yanqing, Miyun, Huairou and Daxing) in Beijing were selected as the study subjects by multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling. The baseline survey was conducted from July 2009 to September 2015. The follow-up was conducted until March 31, 2021, and a total of 6 326 participants were enrolled. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the association of SBP, DBP, normal blood pressure, high normal blood pressure, simple systolic hypertension, simple diastolic hypertension and systolic diastolic hypertension with all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality.Results:By March 31, 2021, the median follow-up time was 6.30 years, the all-cause mortality density was 201.67/10 000 person-years, and the cardio-cerebrovascular mortality density was 90.20/10 000 person-years. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model analysis showed that the risk for all-cause mortality increased by 5.6% ( HR=1.056, 95% CI: 1.020-1.092), and the risk for cardio-cerebrovasculvar mortality increased by 12.5% ( HR=1.125, 95% CI: 1.071-1.182) for every 10 mmHg increase in SBP. The risk for all-cause mortality increased by 8.6% ( HR=1.086, 95% CI: 1.023-1.152), and the risk for cardio-cerebrovascular mortality increased by 19.9% ( HR=1.199, 95% CI: 1.101-1.306) for every 10 mmHg increase in DBP. Compared with the normal blood pressure group, the risk for all-cause mortality increased by 64.8% ( HR=1.648, 95% CI: 1.049-2.591) and the risk for cardio- cerebrovascular mortality increased by 112.8% ( HR=2.128, 95% CI: 1.069-4.233) in the simple diastolic hypertension group. The risk for all-cause mortality increased by 34.4% ( HR=1.344, 95% CI: 1.023-1.467) and the risk for cardio-cerebrovascular mortality increased by 111.3% ( HR=2.113, 95% CI: 1.384-3.225) in the systolic-diastolic hypertension group. Conclusions:In the elderly in communities of Beijing, beside systolic-diastolic hypertension. It is necessary to pay close attention to the simple diastolic hypertension, which has lower prevalence, and give targeted prevention and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the association of urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in normal range and cardiovascular health (CVH) score with cardio-cerebroascular and all-cause mortality in urban elderly residents in Beijing.Methods:Based on Beijing Healthy Aging Cohort Study, data from 1 817 elderly participants with normal UACR were analyzed, and UACR was used as both continuous and categorical variable. "Life's Essential 8" was used to develop a CVH score. Statistical analysis was performed by using software SPSS 26.0 and R 4.2.1, including two independent samples t-test, χ2 test and non-parametric test. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models stratified by CVH score and the restricted cubic spline were used to analyse the association of UACR with the risk for cardio-cerebrovascular and all-cause mortality. Results:By March 31, 2021, the median follow-up time M ( Q1, Q3) was 11.28 (10.84, 11.36) years, a total of 308 deaths were recorded during follow-up, and the mortality density was 163.87/10 000 person-years. The age of the participants was (71.4±6.6) years, and 1 070 participants were women. The results showed that the risk for both cardio-cerebrovascular disease and all-cause mortality decreased with the decrease of UACR in the low CVH score group ( HR=0.500, 95% CI: 0.341-0.734; HR=0.793, 95% CI: 0.647-0.971), and in the high CVH score group, there was a decreasing trend in the risk for cardio-cerebrovascular mortality with the decrease of UACR ( HR=0.665, 95% CI: 0.447-0.990). Compared with the participants with low CVH score and higher UACR, the risk for cardio-cerebrovascular and all-cause mortality decreased by 68.9% and 45.6%, respectively, in the participants with high CVH score and lower UACR ( HR=0.311, 95% CI: 0.131-0.739; HR=0.544, 95% CI: 0.360-0.822), and the risk for all-cause mortality decreased by 26.7% in the participants with high CVH score and higher UACR ( HR=0.733, 95% CI: 0.542-0.993). Conclusions:In urban elderly residents in Beijing, higher UACR were associated with a significantly increased risk for cardio-cerebrovascular and all-cause mortality, and in the low-CVH score group, decreased UACR was protective factor against cardio-cerebrovascular and all-cause mortality. The combined effect of cardiovascular health status and normal UACR had a greater protection against the risk for cardio-cerebrovascular and all-cause mortality.

Objective:To describe and analyze the distribution characteristics of a body shape index (ABSI) and its association with all-cause mortality in the elderly in communities of Beijing.Methods:The baseline and follow-up data of 10 423 subjects in Beijing Healthy Aging Cohort Study were used. The endpoint outcome was all-cause mortality in follow-up. The associations of ABSI, BMI and waist circumference with all-cause mortality were analyzed with a Cox proportional hazard regression model.Results:The mean follow-up time in this cohort was 6.36 years and the all-cause mortality was 15.27%. The restricted cubic spline results showed that ABSI showed a "U" association with all-cause mortality in the total population. After adjustment for confounding factors, compared with the normal ABSI group, the risk for all-cause mortality was higher in the low ABSI group ( HR=1.69, 95% CI: 1.32-2.17) and high ABSI group ( HR=1.75, 95% CI: 1.40-2.18). Compared with the normal BMI group, low BMI was associated with an increased risk for all-cause mortality ( HR=1.70, 95% CI: 1.40-2.08). Compared with the normal waist circumference group, central obesity was associated with a decreased risk for all-cause mortality ( HR=0.89, 95% CI: 0.80-0.99). The results of gender specific analysis on ABSI association with all-cause mortality were similar to that in total population, but the strength of association varied among different age groups. Cross-grouping results showed that older people with normal BMI and waist circumference and abnormal ABSI had an increased risk of all-cause mortality ( HR=1.91, 95% CI: 1.22-2.99). Conclusions:In Beijing, ABSI is correlated with the risk for all-cause mortality in the elderly population, which is more sensitive and specific than the traditional indicators (BMI and waist circumference). They can be used as one of the physical measurement indicators for all-cause mortality risk prediction in the health risk assessment and management in the elderly.

Objective:To explore the association between physical activity (PA) level and all-cause mortality in the elderly with different obesity status in Beijing.Methods:The study subjects were from the Cardiovascular and Cognitive Healthy Study in Middle-Aged and Elderly Residents of Beijing, a total of 3 746 individuals aged ≥60 years in the baseline survey between 2013 and 2015 were included in the study. Questionnaire survey and physical examination were conducted to collect the basic information of the individuals. The metabolic equivalent of the elderly was used to calculate the PA level, and an international PA questionnaire was used to determine the PA intensity. BMI, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and a body shape index (ABSI) were used to evaluate individuals' obesity status. The distribution of different PA levels under different obesity states was described by using bar chart and cumulative percentage bar chart. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the correlation between the level of PA and all-cause mortality risk in different types of obesity status.Results:By December 31, 2019, the median follow-up time was 5.46 years, and the mortality density was 244.55/10 000 person-years. Compared with the individuals in high-PA intensity group, the all-cause mortality risk increased by 41% ( HR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.14-1.76) and 122% ( HR=2.22, 95% CI: 1.76-2.81), respectively, in moderate and low PA intensity groups. Compared with the individuals in high-PA intensity-high-obesity group, based on the BMI, the all-cause mortality risk increased by 85% ( HR=1.85, 95% CI: 1.08-3.16) and 250% ( HR=3.50, 95% CI: 2.01-6.10) in those in moderate-PA intensity-high-obesity group and in low-intensity-high-obesity group. Based on the WHtR, the all-cause mortality risk increased by 53% ( HR=1.53, 95% CI: 1.02-2.29) and 218% ( HR=3.18, 95% CI: 2.09-4.86), respectively, in those with moderate-PA intensity-high-obesity and those with low-PA intensity-high-obesity. According to the ABSI, the all-cause mortality risk increased by 120% in those in low-PA intensity-high-obesity group ( HR=2.20, 95% CI: 1.53-3.18). Based on any one of the indicators BMI, WHtR, or ABSI, there was no significant difference in all-cause mortality risk between high-intensity-moderate-obesity group and high-intensity-low-obesity group (all P>0.05). Conclusions:PA level is closely associated with the all-cause mortality risk in the elderly in communities of Beijing. Increasing PA level can not only reduce the all-cause mortality risk but also reduce even eliminate the excess all-cause mortality risk associated with obesity.
