ObjectiveTo analyze the trend and influencing factors of low birth weight (LBW) among newborns in Chongming District of Shanghai from 2008 to 2022, so as to provide references for the development of intervention measures reducing the rate of LBW. MethodsBirth surveillance data of Chongming District of Shanghai from 2008 to 2022 were collected and organized, and the annual percentage change (APC) of LBW was calculated by using Joinpoint 5.0.2 software for trend change analysis. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of LBW. ResultsThe overall incidence of LBW was 3.71% in Chongming District, Shanghai from 2008 to 2022. Joinpoint trend analysis showed that the incidence of LBW in Chongming District had an upward trend (APC=5.49%, 95%CI: 3.31%‒7.72%, P<0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preterm birth, multiple births, female infants, birth defects, first pregnancy, primiparity, and a young father age (<20 years) were risk factors for LBW in Chongming District. Among the term infants, female infants, birth defects, and first pregnancy were risk factors for LBW (P<0.05). Female infants, birth defects, first pregnancy, primiparity, advanced maternal age (≥35 years), and a young father age (<20 years) were risk factors in singleton neonates. ConclusionThe incidence of LBW among newborns is on the rise in Chongming District of Shanghai. Therefore, high risk groups need to be identified, and prenatal check-ups and pregnancy care should be strengthened to reduce the risk of neonatal LBW.

ObjectiveTo investigate the reversal effect of Cordyceps sinensis extract on immunotherapy resistance of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MethodsELISA, flow cytometry, and co-culture assays were performed to evaluate the effects of Cordyceps sinensis extract on cytokine secretion, proliferation, and tumor cell killing activity of Jurkat (JKT) cells. Furthermore, the therapeutic effect of Cordyceps sinensis extract on programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) resistant lung cancer was evaluated through in vivo experiments both alone and in combination with anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody. ResultsCordyceps sinensis extract enhanced the secretion of cytokines interferon gamma(IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α) and interleukin-2 (IL-2)in JKT cells, promoted cell proliferation (P=0.006), and boosted their killing function against tumors (P<0.001). Compared with the control group, in vivo study demonstrated that Cordyceps sinensis extract monotherapy effectively inhibited the growth of PD-L1-resistant tumors [tumor growth inhibition value (TGI)=26.1%, P=0.090], while its combination with anti-PD-L1 antibody significantly reversed PD-L1 resistance (TGI=50.6%, P<0.001). ConclusionThis study provides certain data support for the activation of anti-tumor immunity by Cordyceps sinensis extract, and offers a new treatment strategy for enhancing anti-tumor immunity and reversing immune resistance in lung cancer.

Objective Accurate speed perception is crucial for tasks such as man-controlled rendezvous and docking,and teleoperation of space manipulator.Therefore,it is necessary to conduct in-orbit experiments to explore the influence of long-term spaceflight on human speed perception characteristics.Methods The Time-to-Collision(TTC)paradigm was selected to develop experimental software,using a tablet computer for stimulus presentation.Human speed perception characteristics were evaluated based on the subjects'keystroke response data on the keyboard.Through ground-based experiments,the usability and reliability of the paradigm were explored,and the gravity internal model effect was quantitatively analyzed.Through in-orbit experiments on space station tasks,the influence of long-term spaceflight on human speed perception characteristics was further investigated.Results Under the 1G environment on the ground,the TTC paradigm has a high test-retest reliability(r>0.8),and indicators such as average deviation rate and absolute value of average deviation rate show no practice effect.In addition,ground experiments found that compared to vertical upward movement,vertical downward movement is estimated to be faster(i.e.,keystroke time is advanced),showing the existence of the gravity internal model effect.In the microgravity environment of spaceflight,there are no significant differences in average deviation rate and absolute value of average deviation rate among three stages(pre-flight,in-flight,post-flight)and seven tests,indicating that no obvious changes in astronauts'speed perception ability were found at the existing test time points and paradigms.However,the gravity internal model effect(difference between vertical downward and vertical upward)showed a trend of fading in the early stage of astronauts entering orbit.Conclusion Based on the computer screen TTC estimation paradigm,no significant changes in human speed perception ability were found during long-term spaceflight,but microgravity may weaken the human brain's gravity internal model.

ObjectiveTo investigate the status, characteristics of population distribution and trends of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) deaths among the registered residents in Chongming District, Shanghai from 2002 to 2022, and to provide a scientific basis for precise prevention and control of COPD. MethodsCOPD death data were obtained from the Shanghai Chongming District Death Surveillance System, and indicators such as crude mortality rate, standardized mortality rate, mortality rate by age group, and probability of premature death were calculated for the registered residents with COPD. Joinpoint 5.0.2 software was adopted to analyze the annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC), followed by an analysis of trend changes. ResultsFrom 2002 to 2022, the average annual crude mortality rate and average annual standardized mortality rate of COPD among the residents of Chongming District were 73.49/100 000 and 34.00/100 000, respectively, and both were higher in males than those in females. The crude mortality rate of COPD among the residents aged ≤69 years in Chongming District was 6.78/100 000, followed by 218.28/100 000 in the age group of ≥70 years and 1 042.77/100 000 in the age group of ≥80 years, respectively. The standardized mortality rates for the whole population (AAPC=-9.75%), males (AAPC=-9.06%) , and females (AAPC=-12.25%) all showed a downward trend (all P<0.001). In addition, there was a decreasing trend in the crude mortality rates for the residents aged ≤69 years (AAPC=-7.51%), aged ≥70 years (AAPC=-9.89%), and aged ≥80 years (AAPC=-8.85%) (all P<0.001). Furthermore, the probability of premature death of COPD decreased from 1.45% in 2002 to 0.08% in 2022. ConclusionThe mortality rate and probability of early premature death of COPD among the registered residents in Chongming District, Shanghai from 2002 to 2022 show a downward trend, and the mortality rate of declining in males is slower than that in females. The elderly with advanced age account for the highest number of deaths. Therefore, targeted intervention measures should be taken for key groups to reduce the mortality rate of COPD.

Objective:To gain a deeper understanding of the comorbidity status of elderly patients with coronary heart disease and the effect of comorbidity on their hospitalization costs.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 8 334 elderly hospitalized patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease in Beijing Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects. General Inforamtion Questionnaire and Charson comorbidity index (CCI) were used to investigate the comorbidity of patients.Results:Among the 8 334 elderly patients with coronary heart disease included, 88.18% (7 349/8 334) had comorbidity, and there was a statistically significant difference in hospital costs among patients with different CCI scores ( P<0.01). Elderly patients with coronary heart disease with comorbidity had higher hospital costs. The results of the binomial logistic regression analysis showed that comorbidities increased the hospitalization costs of elderly coronary heart disease patients in both the unadjusted model and the gradually adjusted model for age, gender, occupation, education level, admission department, admission status, admission year, admission mode length of stay and disease classification ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The comorbidity in elderly patients with coronary heart disease is serious, which is an important factor affecting hospitalization costs. In medical practice, it is necessary to strengthen the comprehensive management of elderly patients with coronary heart disease, pay attention to the influencing factors of hospitalization costs, optimize prevention and treatment strategies, control the occurrence and progression of comorbidities among patients, deepen the reform of medical insurance payment methods such as grouping payments based on disease diagnosis, so as to accurately reduce hospitalization costs and promote the sustainable and healthy development of the medical and health system.
