ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors for long-term cardiovascular events in patients undergoing long-term peritoneal dialysis （PD）， and to construct and validate a visual nomogram prediction model based on multiple parameters. MethodsA prospective cohort study was conducted， consecutively enrolling 248 maintenance PD patients （dialysis duration ≥ 3 months）. Demographic characteristics， clinical indicators， laboratory parameters， and echocardiographic indices （including left ventricular ejection fraction ［LVEF］， ratio of early diastolic mitral inflow velocity to early diastolic mitral annular velocity （E/e’）， etc.） were collected. The composite endpoint was defined as the occurrence of cardiovascular events or cardiovascular death， with non-cardiovascular death as the competing risk and loss to follow-up or the end of follow-up as censoring events. Fine-Gray competing risks model was used to screen independent predictors， based on which a nomogram model was constructed. Internal validation was performed using the Bootstrap method （1 000 resamplings）， and the concordance index （C-index） and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic （time-dependent ROC） curve were calculated to evaluate the model performance. ResultsWith a median follow-up of 29 months （interquartile range： 24–35 months）， 88 patients （35.48%） reached the composite endpoint， including 80 cases of cardiovascular events and 8 cases of cardiovascular death， and 4 patients died of non-cardiovascular causes. Multivariate Fine-Gray analysis revealed that age， diabetes mellitus， hemoglobin （HGB） level and E/e' ratio were independent influencing factors of the composite endpoint. Specifically， each 1-year increase in age was associated with a 3.0% increase in the risk of the composite endpoint （HR=1.030， P=0.006）； patients with diabetes mellitus had a 167.9% higher risk compared with non-diabetic patients （HR=2.679， P=0.007）； each 1g/L increase in HGB level contributed to a 1.5% reduction in the risk （HR=0.985， P=0.003）； and each 0.1 increase in E/e' ratio led to a 7.2% increase in the risk （HR=1.072， P=0.045）. The nomogram model had a C-index of 0.76 （95% CI： 0.698–0.820）， and the AUC of the time-dependent ROC curve reached 0.849 at 23 months of follow-up. ConclusionIncreased age， complicated with diabetes mellitus， decreased HGB， and elevated E/e' ratio are independent risk factors of long-term occurrence of cardiovascular events and cardiovascular death in patients undergoing long-term PD. The nomogram model constructed based on the above variables has good predictive value and clinical applicability， which can provide a reference for cardiovascular risk stratification and individualized intervention in long-term PD patients.

Abstract Children s emotional and behavioral problems are characterized by a relatively high incidence, concealed manifestations, and a potential correlation with an increased risk of subsequent mental disorders. These problems have a sustained impact on children s social-emotional development, learning adaptation, and peer relationships. The study reviews the main influencing factors and their mechanisms of action regarding children s emotional and behavioral problems from three levels:individual, family, and social. Under a multi-level integrated perspective, it deepens the understanding of these mechanisms and proposes that future efforts should focus on factors such as improving physical fitness, enhancing sleep, and reducing sedentary behavior. Furthermore, it suggests strengthening collaborative interventions among schools, families, and communities to promote the early prevention of childrens emotional and behavioral problems and support their healthy development.

Infectious diseases continue to pose a threat to global public health. Successive global shocks caused by emerging and re-emerging pathogens have continuously challenged existing surveillance systems, highlighting the urgent need to build efficient and precise pathogen surveillance networks. Pathogen genomic databases have been developed rapidly in recent two decades, significantly improving the molecular identification, evolutionary analysis, and transmission tracking of pathogens, and changing disease surveillance strategies and patterns. This paper summarizes the developmental history and current state of pathogen genomic databases, and discusses their applications in public health, including pathogen variation surveillance, emerging or suspected pathogen identification, and epidemiological tracing. Furthermore, this paper systematically analyzes the limitations and key challenges faced by current global health prevention and control system, and suggests the focus of the development of online pathogen databases to address existing shortcomings, ultimately improve global infectious disease surveillance and early warning

Objective To study the hemodynamic characteristics of autologous arteriovenous fistula(AVF)and provide a theoretical basis for reducing its stenosis rate.Methods Bidirectional fluid-structure interaction(FSI)simulations were conducted on a modified AVF model.Flow field and wall shear stress(WSS)distributions in the internal fistula at different periods and angles in a cardiac cycle were analyzed for retrograde flow(confluence)and anterograde flow(shunt)modes in models with varying anastomosis angles.Results Under confluence modes,the WSS＜1 Pa area in the 60° anastomosis angle model was the smallest(7.027 mm2),while the 45°,60°,and 90° models showed no significant differences in eddy current size and intensity.Under shunt modes,the 45° anastomosis angle model had the smallest WSS＜1 Pa area(9.079 mm2),but the 60° model exhibited the lowest eddy current intensity and distribution area.In addition,the difference in the WSS＜1 Pa area between the 60° and 45° models was only 2.661 mm2.Conclusions Under both confluence and shunt flow modes,establishing an AVF with 60° anastomosis angle is conducive to reducing the risk of vascular stenosis in arteriovenous fistula.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum thrombospondin-1(THBS-1),D-dimer(D-D)and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1)levels in late pregnancy for postpartum hemorrhage(PPH)in re-pregnant women with scarred uterus.Methods Totally 108 re-pregnant women with scarred uterus admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from June 2020 to August 2022 were selected and divided into the PPH group(n=21)and the non-PPH group(n=87)according to whether PPH occurred after delivery.On the day of admission,5 mL elbow venous blood was collected from re-pregnant women in the two groups,and the levels of serum THBS-1,D-D and TIMP-1 of pregnant women in the two groups were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The serum THBS-1,D-D TIMP-1 levels and clinical data of pregnant women between the two groups were compared.The influencing factors on the occurrence of PPH in re-pregnant women with scarred uterus were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression,and the predictive value of serum THBS-1,D-D and TIMP-1 levels on the occurrence of PPH in re-pregnant women with scarred uterus was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve.Results The percentage of patients with ≥ 2 induced abortions,placental abruption,uterine incision laceration,uterine inertia or scar thickness＜0.3 cm,as well as serum THBS-1 and D-D levels in late pregnancy in the PPH group were significantly higher than those in the non-PPH group,and serum TIMP-1 level in late pregnancy were significantly lower than that in the non-PPH group(P＜0.05).The uterine inertia,as well as high D-D and THBS-1 levels,were independent risk factors for PPH in re-pregnant women with scarred uterus(P＜0.05),and low TIMP-1 level was a protective factor(P＜0.05).The area under the curve of combined serum THBS-1,D-D and TIMP-1 levels to predict PPH in re-pregnant women with scarred uterus was greater than that predicted by the three factors alone(P＜0.05).Conclusion Serum THBS-1,D-D and TIMP-1 levels in late pregnancy can be used as reference indicators for predicting the occurrence of PPH in re-pregnant women with scarred uterus,and the combination of the three indexes is more effective in predicting the occurrence of PPH.
