To analyze the disease burden of acute lymphoid leukemia(ALL) and its changing trends in China and globally from 1990 to 2021, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for disease prevention, treatment, and policy formulation. Data on the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability adjusted life years(DALYs) of ALL in China and globally from 1990 to 2021 were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease(GBD) 2021 database. The Joinpoint regression model was used to calculate the average annual percentage change(AAPC) to assess the trends in disease burden. Decomposition analysis was employed to identify and quantify the contributions of different factors to the changes in ALL disease burden. The population attributable fraction(PAF) was used to compare the risk factors for ALL in China and globally in 1990 and 2021. Stratified by the sociodemographic index(SDI), the locally estimated scatterplot smoothing(LOESS) method was used to assess the association between age-standardized incidence rate(ASIR), age-standardized mortality rate(ASMR), and SDI. The incidence-mortality ratio(IMR) was calculated to evaluate the diagnostic level and current treatment status of ALL. From 1990 to 2021, ASIR of ALL in the Chinese population increased from 3.385/100 000 to 3.637/100 000(AAPC: 0.005), the age-standardized prevalence rate(ASPR) increased from 6.596/100 000 to 22.022/100 000(AAPC: 0.478), the ASMR decreased from 3.051/100 000 to 1.357/100 000(AAPC: -0.056), and the age-standardized DALYs rate(ASDR) decreased from 195.792/100 000 to 74.063/100 000(AAPC: -3.996). Globally, the corresponding figures were: ASIR decreased from 1.789/100 000 to 1.371/100 000(AAPC: -0.014), ASPR increased from 4.122/100 000 to 5.425/100 000(AAPC: 0.039), ASMR decreased from 1.551/100 000 to 0.898/100 000(AAPC: -0.021), and ASDR decreased from 94.894/100 000 to 48.858/100 000(AAPC: -1.494). During this period, the aforementioned disease burden indicators were generally higher in males than in females, both in China and globally.In 2021, the peak incidence of ALL in China and globally was primarily concentrated in the 0-19 years age group, with the highest rate observed in those under 5 years of age. The burden of prevalence and DALYs was also mainly concentrated in this age group. Regarding mortality, the death burden in China was predominantly observed in the older adult age group, particularly among those aged ≥60 years. Globally, the mortality burden was highest in the under-5 age group, while remaining at a relatively high level in the older adult population. SDI correlation analysis based on data from 204 countries/regions globally from 1990 to 2021 showed that ASIR gradually increased with increasing SDI, whereas ASMR showed an initial increase followed by a decreasing trend. The ASIR and ASMR for the overall Chinese population and by sex were higher than expected. PAF results indicated that smoking and high body mass index were the main attributable risk factors for ALL mortality and DALYs burden, with their contribution consistently increasing. Decomposition analysis revealed that population growth and epidemiological changes were the primary drivers behind the changes in ALL incidence and mortality burden. Compared with 1990, the IMR for ALL in both China and globally increased in 2021. Over the past three decades, the ASMR and ASDR for ALL in China and globally have generally declined. During the same period, the ASIR and ASPR for ALL increased in China, while globally, the ASIR decreased and the ASPR increased. However, the disease burden of ALL remains high in males, children, and the older adult population. Differentiated prevention and control measures should be implemented in accordance with changes in SDI. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening prevention and early diagnosis, and suggest the need for targeted screening and treatment strategies for different age and sex groups. Concurrently, attention should be paid to the role of weight management and tobacco control in comprehensive prevention and control efforts to further reduce the disease burden of ALL.

Objective:
To understand the changing trends and related factors of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) regarding the three major infectious diseases (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, tuberculosis, hepatitis B) among freshmen in Jiangsu from 2019 to 2022, so as to provide a reference basis for the health education of infectious diseases in schools.
Methods:
From 2019 to 2022, a total of 33 944 freshmen from 20 universities in Jiangsu Province were randomly selected for four consecutive years to investigate their KAP levels online through self designed questionnaires on three major infectious diseases. The multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the changing trends of students KAP levels of the three major infectious diseases, and to explore the influencing factors of KAP.
Results:
From 2019 to 2022, the knowledge scores(18.0±3.1,18.4±3.2,18.7±3.2,18.8±3.2), related to the three major infectious diseases showed an upward trend ( F=436.50, P <0.01), and the positive attitude reporting rates were 81.77%, 81.46%, 82.68% and 81.74%, respectively. The reporting rates of positive practice were 80.11%, 79.25%, 79.08 % and 79.04%, respectively. Multiple linear regression showed that school type, parental education level, mother s occupation, average income per person in family and living arrangements during high school all had an impact on the knowledge ( β = -1.510 -0.559), attitudes ( β =-0.043-0.065) and practice ( β =-0.028-0.027) of the three major infectious diseases ( P < 0.05 ). The family residence areas only affected the reporting rate of positive attitude scores ( β =0.002-0.065), and whether only children or not affected the reporting rate of positive practice scores ( β =0.009)( P <0.05). The knowledge score showed an upward trend ( β= 0.297, P <0.01), the positive attitude reporting rate showed no statistically significant change ( β=0.001, P =0.22), and the positive practice reporting rate showed a downward trend ( β=-0.005, P <0.01).
Conclusions
Freshman in Jiangsu Province from 2019 to 2022 have shown a separation in KAP scores regarding the three major infectious diseases. Targeted measures should be taken to improve their health practice level.

To analyze the disease burden and trends of motor neuron disease(MND) in China and globally from 1990 to 2021, providing evidence for the formulation of relevant health strategies inChina. Data on the incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years(DALYs) of MND in China and globally from 1990 to 2021 were extracted from the 2021 global burden of disease(GBD) database. The Joinpoint model was used to analyze trends through the average annual percentage change(AAPC). The disease burden differences were further analyzed by age and gender. From 1990 to 2021, the number of MND incident cases in China increased by 6.87%, while globally it increased by 74.54%.The number of prevalent cases in China rose by 29.78%, compared to a 68.43% increase globally. DALYs due to MND in China increased by 40.08%, while globally they increased by 105.59%. The age-standardized incidence rate(ASIR) of MND showed a declining trend both in China(AAPC=-0.006, 95% CI: -0.006 to -0.006, The overall disease burden of MND in China is lower than the global level, with ASIR and ASDR showing a declining trend. However, the annual number of incident cases, prevalent cases, and DALYs continues to increase. Furthermore, there are gender and age differences in the MND disease burden in China, with middle-aged and elderly males being the key targets for prevention and control.

This study analyzes the disease burden of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents in China and globally from 1990 to 2021, providing data support and strategic recommendations for public health policy and disease intervention. Data on the incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of ADHD in children and adolescents from 1990 to 2021 were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database. Joinpoint regression models were used to analyze the annual percentage change in disease burden, and socio-demographic index (SDI) was incorporated to analyze health inequality and frontier trends. From 1990 to 2021, the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR), and age-standardized DALYs rate (ASDR) for ADHD in China showed an upward trend, while they declined globally. China's ASIR increased from 280.61/100 000 to 356.80/100 000, ASPR rose from 3079.72/100 000 to 3653.25/100 000, and ASDR went up from 37.85/100 000 to 45.00/100 000.Globally, ASIR declined from 166.40/100 000 to 159.93/100 000, ASPR decreased from 1900.79/100 000 to 1730.67/100 000, and ASDR dropped from 23.28/100 000 to 21.22/100 000. ADHD disease burden was highest among the 5-14-year-old population, with males significantly higher than females. SDI showed a positive correlation with ADHD disease burden, and inequality among different socio-economic groups has somewhat alleviated, though there remains room for improvement in some countries. The increasing ADHD disease burden in China contrasts with the global trend, highlighting the need for enhanced early screening interventions and age- and gender-sensitive strategies. High SDI countries should also focus on the impact of social and psychological factors, optimize diagnostic and treatment pathways, and promote health equity.

Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a type of disease characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation,mainly including Crohn's disease,ulcerative colitis,and undifferentiated IBD. Its pathogenesis is very complex and involves multiple factors. In recent years,studies have shown that heat shock proteins(HSPs)and cell apoptosis play important roles in the occurrence and progression of IBD. HSPs not only participate in cellular stress response,but also play a crucial role in regulating cell apoptosis. The specific mechanism of the interaction between HSPs and apoptosis in IBD is currently unclear. This article reviews the relationship and mechanism between HSPs and apoptosis in the occurrence and development of IBD,explores the roles of HSPs and apoptosis in IBD,and proposes potential treatment strategies to provide more effective treatment options for IBD patients in the future.

"When warm evil is received,it first attacks the lungs and then spread to the pericardium reversely"is the general rule of warm diseases.Doctors of different dynasties have different views on the phrase"reverse spread to the pericardium",especially the word"reverse".Professor Tong Xiaolin proposed that the heart governs the mind,the pericardium and the heart are connected in qi,and when the heart is affected by evil,the pericardium instead suffers from the evil.The"reverse spread to the pericardium"proposed by Ye Tianshi is actually the spread of warm evil to the brain.Taking meningococcal meningitis as the basic disease,it can be matched one by one with the typical stages of the transmission of Wei-Qi-Ying-Xue.Combined with the theory of Dingjiao,it is believed that the function of"the heart governing the mind"focuses more on the brain in the modern anatomical sense.Combining traditional Chinese medicine's ideas on diagnosis and treatment of warm diseases with modern medicine,revealing the essence of the disease,grasping the core of the pathogenesis,analyzing the word"reverse"from a new perspective,and exploring its true meaning,is of great significance for clarifying its connotation,exploring the development laws of warm diseases,and guiding the diagnosis and treatment of warm disea-ses.

Immune dysregulation is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and numerous studies have focused on the impact of immune cell metabolic pathways. Immune system cells dynamically adapt to the microenvironment, regulating the body's response to external stimuli through intricate metabolic pathways. This review summarizes the mechanisms by which glycolysis, fatty acid and amino acid metabolisms influence immune metabolism and thereby modulate IBD progression, offering new perspectives for the diagnosis and treatment of IBD.
