Background The association between occupational physical activity (OPA) and cardiometabolic risk factors remains controversial, potentially due to differences in the associations between OPA and various cardiometabolic indicators, as well as the lack of a clearly defined optimal OPA range for multiple-indicator synergistic benefits. Objective To investigate the relationship between OPA and cardiometabolic risk factors in individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Hubei Province, and to explore an optimal OPA range for multi-indicator improvements. Methods Data were derived from the Hubei Province dataset of the China Health Evaluation And Risk Reduction Through Nationwide Teamwork from 2015 to 2023, including 19028 high-risk CVD individuals. OPA (metabolic equivalent·h·d⁻¹, MET·h·d⁻¹) was assessed using the China Kadoorie Biobank physical activity questionnaire, anthropometric measurements (height, weight, waist circumference) and cardiometabolic indicators (blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, lipid profiles) were measured. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between logOPA quartiles (Q1-Q4) and abnormal cardiometabolic indicators, while restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were employed to explore their dose-response relationships. Subgroup and interaction analyses were also conducted by gender. Results The median OPA of all participants was 12.86 MET·h·d⁻¹ (male: 14.40 MET·h·d⁻¹, female: 11.14 MET·h·d⁻¹). After adjusting for confounders, compared with the Q1 group, logOPA in the Q4 group was associated with 20% (OR=0.80, 95%CI: 0.72, 0.89), 14% (OR=0.86, 95%CI: 0.78, 0.96), and 13% (OR=0.87, 95%CI: 0.79, 0.95) reduction in the risk of abdominal obesity, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and metabolic syndrome (MS), respectively, and 33% (OR=1.33, 95%CI: 1.18, 1.49), 33% (OR=1.33, 95%CI: 1.18, 1.50), and 38% (OR=1.38, 95%CI: 1.21, 1.57) increase in the risk of high total cholesterol (TC), high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high non-HDL-C, respectively. Similar trends were observed in males and females, with significant positive associations of logOPA with high TC and high non-HDL-C in males (P_interaction<0.05). The risk of low HDL-C decreased rapidly when logOPA was more than 2.213 (OPA>9.14 MET·h·d⁻¹), showing an inverted L-shaped trend. The risk of high TC, high LDL-C, and high non-HDL-C increased beyond logOPA thresholds of 3.244, 2.476, and 3.377 (OPA >25.64, 11.89, and 29.28 MET·h·d⁻¹), respectively, showing a J-shaped trend. However, logOPA exhibited a U-shaped nonlinear dose-response relationship with blood pressure and fasting blood glucose abnormalities (P_non-linear<0.05) , with minimal risks at logOPA 2.969 and 2.372 (OPA of 19.47 and 10.72 MET·h·d⁻¹). Conclusion OPA exhibits heterogeneous dose-response patterns across cardiometabolic indicators. Integrating the inverted L-, J-, and U-shaped association patterns, we suggest an optimal OPA range of 9.14−25.64 MET·h·d⁻¹ for multiple cardiometabolic indicators in total individuals at high-risk of CVD, with ranges of 9.61−31.34 MET·h·d⁻¹ for males and 8.97−22.87 MET·h·d⁻¹ for females. These findings provide critical evidence for developing OPA interventions strategies targeting high-risk population for CVD.

[Objective] To compare the diagnostic accuracy of three imaging modalities, inlducing CT urography (CTU), contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI), and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the qualitative diagnosis of renal space-occupying lesions. [Methods] A retrospective analysis was performed on 542 patients with renal lesions confirmed by surgical pathology in our hospital during Jan.2019 and May 2024.The diagnostic results of CTU, CE-MRI and CEUS were compared and analyzed based on the patients' clinical and pathological data. [Results] The diagnostic accuracy rate of CTU, CE-MRI and CEUS were 84.50%, 83.14% and 86.14%, respectively.For the 161 patients who underwent all three examinations, CEUS was significantly more accurate than CTU (84.16% vs. 77.02%, P=0.018), while there was no significant difference between CTU or CEUS and CE-MRI (79.81%) (P>0.05). Further analysis found that for lesions ≤4 cm, the accuracy of the three examinations was as follows: CEUS=CTU 79.55%, CE-MRI 76.14%, with no significant difference (P>0.05). However, for lesions >4 cm, CEUS ranked the first, followed by CE-MRI and CTU (89.73% vs. 84.25% vs. 73.97%), and CEUS and CE-MRI were better than CTU (P<0.05). Additionally, for the diagnosis of clear cell renal carcinoma and benign renal space-occupying lesions, there was no statistically significant difference among the three imaging modalities (P>0.05), while for the qualitative diagnosis of non-clear cell renal carcinoma, CEUS ranked the first, followed by CE-MRI and CTU (83.87% vs. 74.19% vs. 56.45%), and CE-MRI and CEUS were better than CTU (P<0.05). [Conclusion] All of them have important diagnostic value, and the appropriate selection should be based on patients' specifc conditions.CEUS and CE-MRI are more accurate in the qualitative diagnosis of renal space-occupying lesions than CTU, especially for large lesions and non-clear cell carcinoma.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of prolonged cryopreservation duration of high-quality embryos on clinical outcomes.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted, analyzing 8 988 frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles performed from January 2016 to December 2023 at the Center for Reproductive Medicine, Chongqing Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital where patients underwent endometrial preparation with artificial cycles and subsequent transfer of high-quality embryos. Embryos were divided into four groups according to the length of time they had been cryopreserved: ≤3-month group ( n=3 030), 4-6-month group ( n=3 193), 7-12-month group ( n=1 465), and >12-month group ( n=1 300). High-quality cleavage-stage embryos and blastocysts were selected according to the Istanbul Consensus and Gardner grading system. High-quality cleavage-stage embryos were defined as those graded ≤2, while high-quality blastocysts were defined as those graded ≥4BB. Generalized estimating equations were employed for multivariate analysis. Primary outcome indicator was clinical pregnancy rate, with secondary outcome indicators comprising live birth rate, miscarriage rate and preterm birth rate. Results:Significant intergroup differences were observed in baseline characteristics, including age, body mass index, anti-Müllerian hormone levels, fertilization method, endometrial thickness on transfer day, infertility etiology, infertility type, number of embryos transferred, embryo culture duration, number of eggs obtained, and preimplantation genetic testing (all P<0.05). Clinical pregnancy rates for the ≤3-month, 4-6-month, 7-12-month, and >12-month groups were 69.04% (2 092/3 030), 70.15% (2 240/3 193), 61.16% (896/1 465), and 57.69% (750/1 300), respectively, and live birth rates were 58.58% (1 775/3 030), 60.04% (1 917/3 193), 51.40% (753/1 465), and 47.00% (611/1 300), with significantly differences (all P<0.001). After adjusting for confounders via multivariate analysis, the 4-6-month group showed no statistically significant difference in clinical pregnancy rate or live birth rate compared with the ≤3-month group (clinical pregnancy: OR=0.982, 95% CI: 0.874-1.103, P=0.754; live birth: OR=0.989, 95% CI: 0.887-1.102, P=0.835). However, both the 7-12-month group (clinical pregnancy: OR=0.772, 95% CI: 0.671-0.888, P<0.001; live birth: OR=0.805, 95% CI: 0.704-0.921, P=0.002) and >12-month group (clinical pregnancy: OR=0.765, 95% CI: 0.662-0.885, P<0.001; live birth: OR=0.772, 95% CI: 0.671-0.888, P<0.001) exhibited significant decreases in clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate. No significant differences were observed in miscarriage rate and preterm birth rate among the four groups (all P>0.05). Stratified by age, the results were consistent with the total population. Conclusion:The duration of high-quality embryo vitrification freezing exceeding 6 months is negatively correlated with clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate, and cryostorage time should be considered as a relevant factor in embryo selection.

Objective:To compare the short- and long-term outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods:Data from 321 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by robotic ( n=109) and laparoscopic ( n=212) radical gastrectomy at our center between May 2017 and Sep 2022 was collected. After 1∶1 propensity score matching, 106 patients from each group were included in the final analysis to compare short-term clinical outcomes and long-term prognostic indicators. Results:The robotic group had a significantly lower overall complication rate (13.2% vs. 28.3%, χ2=6.453, P=0.007) and surgery-related complication rate (8.5% vs. 17.9%, χ2=3.333, P=0.043) than the laparoscopic group. The robotic group also retrieved more total lymph nodes (35.3±4.9 vs. 31.4±6.3, t=4.863, P<0.001) and supra-pancreatic lymph nodes (13.1±3.4 vs. 10.1±2.1, t=5.258, P<0.001). Additionally, the robotic group had a shorter operative time [(218±47) min vs. (267±71) min, t=-6.001, P<0.001], less intraoperative blood loss [(47±12) ml vs. (71±17) ml, t=-5.424, P<0.001], and faster postoperative recovery. The 3-year recurrence-free survival rate was significantly higher in the robotic group compared to the laparoscopic group (75.5% vs. 62.3%, P=0.017). Conclusion:Compared with laparoscopic gastrectomy, robotic gastrectomy allows for a more lymph nodes harvest, significantly reduces intraoperative blood loss and complication rates and significantly improves recurrence-free survival.
