To analyze the disease burden of hypertension in the elderly population from 1990 to 2021 and to predict future trends in China and globally, thereby providing insights for public health decision-making regarding older adults with hypertension in China. Data on hypertension-related deaths and disability adjusted life years (DALYs) for individuals aged ≥60 years was extracted from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD)2021 database for the world, China, and five sociodemographic index (SDI) regions. Age-standardized mortality and DALYs rates for hypertension in the elderly population were calculated, and Joinpoint regression was used to assess trend changes of disease burden, with results reported as average annual percentage change (AAPC). Additionally, subgroup analyses were conducted based on age and sex. The relative impact of aging, population growth, and epidemiological changes on disease burden was analyzed using a three-factor decomposition method. Future projections for the disease burden from 2022 to 2040 were performed using a Bayesian model. From 1990 to 2021, both age-standardized mortality and DALYs rates for hypertension in the elderly population demonstrated a significant downward trend globally and in China (both AAPC values were negative, all Although age-standardized mortality and DALYs rates for hypertension among the elderly in China have shown a downward trend over the past three decades, the absolute burden remains substantial. There is an urgent need for the formulation and implementation of more effective public health policies and clinical interventions to address this critical public health challenge.

OBJECTIVE To enhance the training quality of anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists, address the resource limitations of a single training base, and promote homogenization of training quality. METHODS A multi-base joint training system for anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists in the Beijing area was established. A mixed research method was employed, collecting data through performance comparisons, questionnaires, and qualitative interviews to compare the differences between the joint training model (experimental group, n=16) and traditional teaching model (the control group, n=17). RESULTS The established joint training system encompassed a unified joint training teaching plan, the formation of a joint training teaching team, the establishment of joint theoretical teaching courses, the implementation of joint case discussions and literature presentations, as well as strengthening the assessment throughout the joint training process. Compared to the control group [theoretical assessment of (76.44±3.66) points, case assessment of (84.31±3.27) points], the experimental group students achieved higher scores in theoretical assessment ([ 79.85±4.64) points] and case assessment ([ 88.70±5.51) points] (P<0.05). Through questionnaires and qualitative interviews, the trainees in experimental group were highly satisfied with the joint training model in terms of theoretical learning, communication skills, and teaching interaction. CONCLUSIONS The multi-base collaborative training system for anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists can integrate advantageous resources and significantly enhance the training effectiveness of anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists, offering value for wider promotion.

Objective:To investigate the value of CT radiomic model based on analysis of primary gastric cancer and the adipose tissue outside the gastric wall beside cancer in differentiating stage T1-2 from stage T3-4 gastric cancer.Methods:This study was a case-control study. Totally 465 patients with gastric cancer treated in Affiliated People′s Hospital of Jiangsu University from December 2011 to December 2019 were retrospectively collected. According to postoperative pathology, they were divided into 2 groups, one with 150 cases of T1-2 tumors and another with 315 cases of T3-4 tumors. The cases were divided into a training set (326 cases) and a test set (139 cases) by stratified sampling method at 7∶3. There were 104 cases of T1-2 stage and 222 cases of T3-4 stage in the training set, 46 cases of T1-2 stage and 93 cases of T3-4 stage in the test set. The axial CT images in the venous phase during one week before surgery were selected to delineate the region of interest (ROI) at the primary lesion and the extramural gastric adipose tissue adjacent to the cancer areas. The radiomic features of the ROIs were extracted by Pyradiomics software. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was used to screen features related to T stage to establish the radiomic models of primary gastric cancer and the adipose tissue outside the gastric wall beside cancer. Independent sample t test or χ2 test were used to compare the differences in clinical features between T1-2 and T3-4 patients in the training set, and the features with statistical significance were combined to establish a clinical model. Two radiomic signatures and clinical features were combined to construct a clinical-radiomics model and generate a nomogram. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the efficacy of each model in differentiating stage T1-2 from stage T3-4 gastric cancer. The calibration curve was used to evaluate the consistency between the T stage predicted by the nomogram and the actual T stage of gastric cancer. And the decision curve analysis was used to evaluate the clinical net benefit of treatment guided by the nomogram and by the clinical model. Results:There were significant differences in CT-T stage and CT-N stage between T1-2 and T3-4 patients in the training set ( χ2=10.59, 15.92, P=0.014, 0.001) and the clinical model was established. After screening and dimensionality reduction, the 5 features from primary gastric cancer and the 6 features from the adipose tissue outside the gastric wall beside cancer established the radiomic models respectively. In the training set and the test set, the AUC values of the primary gastric cancer radiomic model were 0.864 (95% CI 0.820-0.908) and 0.836 (95% CI 0.762-0.910), and the adipose tissue outside the gastric wall beside cancer radiomic model were 0.782 (95% CI 0.731-0.833) and 0.784 (95% CI 0.702-0.866). The AUC values of the clinical model were 0.761 (95% CI 0.705-0.817) and 0.758 (95% CI 0.671-0.845), and the nomogram were 0.876 (95% CI 0.835-0.917) and 0.851 (95% CI 0.781-0.921). The calibration curve reflected that there was a high consistency between the T stage predicted by the nomogram and the actual T stage in the training set ( χ2=1.70, P=0.989). And the decision curve showed that at the risk threshold 0.01-0.74, a higher clinical net benefit could be obtained by using a nomogram to guide treatment. Conclusions:The CT radiomics features of primary gastric cancer lesions and the adipose tissue outside the gastric wall beside cancer can effectively distinguish T1-2 from T3-4 gastric cancer, and the combination of CT radiomic features and clinical features can further improve the prediction accuracy.

Objective:To explore the relationship between stress coping styles and disability levels in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) .Methods:Totally 300 SCI patients who were hospitalized in the Spinal Surgery Department of three Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Anhui Province from March 2021 to February 2022 were selected by convenience sampling. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Spinal Cord Lesion-related Coping Strategies Questionnaire (SCL-CSQ), and the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0). Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between stress coping styles and disability levels, and multiple linear regression analysis was employed to identify factors influencing disability levels in these patients.Results:A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed, with 269 valid responses received, yielding an effective response rate of 89.67% (269/300). The total score of WHODAS 2.0 for the 269 patients was [91.00 (72.50, 104.00) ], with an item mean score of [2.53 (2.01, 2.89) ], and an average score rate of 59.86%, indicating a moderate to high level of disability. The average score rate for positive stress coping (facing, seeking support, rationalization) was 67.30%, while for negative stress coping (rejection and denial, fantasy, dependency and compromise), it was 64.48%. Negative stress coping was positively correlated with disability levels ( P<0.05), while positive stress coping was negatively correlated with disability levels ( P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that occupation, American Spinal Injury Association classification, facing, rejection and denial, and dependency and compromise were factors influencing disability levels in SCI patients ( P<0.05), explaining 50.4% of the total variance in disability levels. Conclusions:The disability level of SCI patients is moderate to high, and stress coping style is an influencing factor. Healthcare professionals should help patients avoid controllable stressors, cultivate effective stress coping strategies, prevent helplessness, to shorten the time window for disability development, and improve patients' quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) on neuronal injury and its potential molecular mechanism.Methods:Cortical neurons were dissected from brain tissues of newborn SD rats and seeded on Poly-L-Lysine coated plates. These neurons were then divided into control group, myelin group and myelin+FGF10 group; after 4 h of culture, neurons in the myelin group were added with a certain content of myelin solution (final concentration: 10 μg/mL), while neurons in the myelin+FGF10 group were added with myelin and FGF10 solution (final concentration: 4.3 nmol/L). One week after culturing, the neuronal apoptosis was detected by TUNEL and flow cytometry; neuronal survival was evaluated by live/dead assay and CCK-8 assay; expressions of apoptosis-related proteins, microtubule related proteins and RAS homologous gene family member A (Rho A)/Rho a-related protein kinase (ROCK) signaling pathway related proteins were detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescent double-label staining.Results:Compared with the control group, the myelin group had significantly increased neuronal apoptosis rate by TUNEL, early neuronal apoptosis rate by flow cytometry, activated cysteine proteinase-3 (caspase-3) protein expression and neuronal mortality rate by live/dead assay, and significantly decreased Bcl-2/Bax value, neuronal survival rate by CCK-8 method, value of acetylated tubulin/Tyr-tubulin (Ace/Tyr-tubulin), Tau protein expression and Ace/Tyr-tubulin fluorescent intensity ratio, and statistically increased Rho A and ROCK protein expressions and Rho A fluorescent intensity ( P<0.05). Compared with the myelin group, the myelin+FGF10 group had significantly decreased neuronal apoptosis rate by TUNEL, early neuronal apoptosis rate by flow cytometry and activated caspase-3 protein expression, significantly increased Bcl-2/Bax value, neuronal survival rate by CCK-8 method, Ace/Tyr-tubulin value, Tau protein expression and Ace/Tyr-tubulin fluorescent intensity ratio, and statistically decreased Rho A and ROCK protein expressions and Rho A fluorescent intensity ( P<0.05). Conclusion:FGF10 maintains microtubule stability in neurons likely through inhibiting Rho A/ROCK axis to antagonize myelin-induced apoptosis and improve the neuronal survival.

Objective:To explore the effect of early activity based on action research method in severely ill children.Methods:From February 2020 to January 2022, 101 children with severe illness admitted to the Henan Provincial People's Hospital were selected as the study subjects by convenient sampling. The 51 children with severe illness included from February 2020 to January 2021 were set as the control group, and the 50 children with severe illness included from February 2021 to January 2022 were set as the experimental group. The children in the control group were treated with routine rehabilitation in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) , and the experimental group was treated with early activity based on action research method on the basis of the control group. Before and after the intervention, the effect was evaluated by the Medical Research Council Scale (MRC) , the Intensive Care Unit Mobility Scale (IMS) , the length of stay in PICU and hospitalization time, and the incidence of ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) when transferring out of PICU.Results:When transferring out of PICU, the MRC muscle strength score of children in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group, and the incidence of ICU-AW was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After intervention, the IMS score of children in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The length of stay in PICU and hospitalization time of children in the experimental group were shorter than those in the control group with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Early activity based on action research method can effectively prevent the occurrence of ICU-AW in severely ill children, improve the activity of children, and shorten the hospitalization time, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
