Objective: To analyze the disease burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and changes in its risk factors among residents in Zhejiang Province from 1990 to 2021, so as to identify key priorities for COPD prevention and control. Methods: Data on COPD mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) for residents in Zhejiang Province from 1990 to 2021 were collected from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database. Standardized mortality and standardized DALY rate were calculated using the GBD 2021 world population standard structure. Premature mortality was computed via the life table method. The average annual percent change (AAPC) was applied to analyze trends in COPD mortality, DALY rate, and premature mortality. Changes in deaths of COPD risk factors were evaluated using population attributable fraction (PAF). Results: From 1990 to 2021, the standardized COPD mortality in Zhejiang Province decreased from 272.40/100 000 to 70.56/100 000 (AAPC=-4.395%), and the standardized DALY rate declined from 4 167.37/100 000 to 1 071.89/100 000 (AAPC=-4.396%). Similar downward trends were observed in both males (AAPC=-3.933%, -4.173%) and females (AAPC=-4.785%, -4.480%), all P<0.05. Crude mortality and DALY rates increased with age, and the crude mortality and DALY rates of various age groups in Zhejiang Province showed decreasing trends from 1990 to 2021 (all P<0.05). The premature mortality declined from 4.37% to 0.60% from 1990 to 2021 (AAPC=- 6.206%), with consistent trends across males and females (AAPC=- 6.144%, - 6.379%, all P<0.05). From 1990 to 2021, particulate matter pollution showed the largest reduction in PAF (- 56.76%), while ambient ozone pollution had the largest increase (103.07%) in Zhejiang Province. By 2021, smoking became the leading risk factor for deaths of COPD (PAF=43.32%). Conclusions The standardized mortality, standardized DALY rate, and premature mortality for COPD show consistent declining trends in Zhejiang Province from 1990 to 2021. However, risk factors such as smoking and ambient ozone pollution require intensified focus to further reduce disease burden of COPD.

BACKGROUND:Although traditional therapies,including drugs and surgery,cannot repair the damaged myocardial tissue,the mortality rate of myocardial infarction remains high.Stem cells provide the possibility to solve this problem due to their self-renewal and multi-directional differentiation potential. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the research progress of stem cell therapy for myocardial infarction in recent ten years by bibliometric analysis. METHODS:The related articles on stem cells and myocardial infarction published in SCI-E and SSCI from January 1,2012 to December 1,2022 in the Web of Science database were searched.EXCEL,CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were used to make statistical and visualization analyses of the data such as the number of publications,authors,institutions,journals,countries and keywords. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 3 210 core articles were published,and the total number increased year by year.hausenloy,derek j.is the author with the largest number of publications,China is the country with the largest number of publications,and the Fourth Military Medical University is the institution with the largest number of publications.The research hotspots in this field are changing from cell experiments and animal experiments to clinical trials.In the past ten years,research in this field has been highly popular and still has great development prospects.It is necessary to promote international and inter-agency exchange and learning,and further explore the role of stem cells in the treatment of myocardial infarction.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and dosimetric parameters associated with acute hematologic toxicity (AHT) resulting from radiation-induced damage to hematopoietic organs in patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer and to provide a reference for establishing dose constraints in relevant regions of interest (ROIs) and predicting adverse tissue reactions during the development of clinical treatment plans. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 556 patients with cervical cancer who underwent chemoradiotherapy at our hospital. Univariate (χ² and t-test) and multivariate (binary logistic regression analyses) methods were employed to investigate the association of clinical factors and pelvic dose-volume parameters with grade ≥ 3 AHT in patients with cervical cancer. Clinical factors comprised patients’ age, clinical stage, pathologic stage, whether the patient had received chemotherapy in the radiotherapy cycle of interest, and dose-volume dosimetric parameters V_x and D_mean for pelvic bone marrow (BM) and femoral head (FH) structures. Results The incidence of AHT among the included cases was 30.4% (169/556). Chi-square analysis of the clinical factors revealed that whether the patient had received chemotherapy, patient’s age, and pathologic stage had a significant impact on AHT. Univariate analysis showed that the factors associated with AHT were mean dose, V₅, V₁₀, V₁₅, V₂₀, and V₂₅ of BM and FH; dosimetric parameters such as V₃₅ of FH had a significant impact on the development of AHT. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified V₁₅ of pelvic BM as an independent risk factor for AHT (P=0.041), with a threshold value of 84.29% as determined by a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Conclusion Whether a patient had received chemotherapy in the radiotherapy cycle of interest, and patient’s age and pathologic stage can serve as predictors of AHT. V₁₅ of BM is an independent risk factor for AHT development. Therefore, when formulating a treatment plan, it is crucial to ensure that pelvic V₁₅ remains below 84.29% to effectively reduce the incidence of grade ≥ 3 acute bone marrow depression.

Objective:To investigate the correlation factors of complete clinical response in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies(IIMs)patients receiving conventional treatment.Methods:Patients diagnosed with IIMs hospitalized in Peking University People's Hospital from January 2000 to June 2023 were in-cluded.The correlation factors of complete clinical response to conventional treatment were identified by analyzing the clinical characteristics,laboratory features,peripheral blood lymphocytes,immunological indicators,and therapeutic drugs.Results:Among the 635 patients included,518 patients finished the follow-up,with an average time of 36.8 months.The total complete clinical response rate of IIMs was 50.0％(259/518).The complete clinical response rate of dermatomyositis(DM),anti-synthetase syn-drome(ASS)and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy(IMNM)were 53.5％,48.9％and 39.0％,respectively.Fever(P=0.002)and rapid progressive interstitial lung disease(RP-ILD)(P=0.014)were observed much more frequently in non-complete clinical response group than in complete clinical re-sponse group.The aspartate transaminase(AST),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),D-dimer,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),C-reaction protein(CRP)and serum ferritin were significantly higher in non-complete clinical response group as compared with complete clinical response group.As for the treat-ment,the percentage of glucocorticoid received and intravenous immunoglobin(IVIG)were significantly higher in non-complete clinical response group than in complete clinical response group.Risk factor analysis showed that IMNM subtype(P=0.007),interstitial lung disease(ILD)(P=0.001),eleva-ted AST(P=0.012),elevated serum ferritin(P=0.016)and decreased count of CD4+T cells in peripheral blood(P=0.004)might be the risk factors for IIMs non-complete clinical response.Conclu-sion:The total complete clinical response rate of IIMs is low,especially for IMNM subtype.More effec-tive intervention should be administered to patients with ILD,elevated AST,elevated serum ferritin or decreased count of CD4+T cells at disease onset.

Objective:To screen the interacting protein of ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2S(UBE2S)and construct the hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)based on UBE2S interacting protein prognosis model(UIPM),and to discuss the value of UIPM in assessing the prognosis of the HCC patients.Methods:Co-immunoprecipitation(Co-IP)was used to screen the protein complexes binding to Flag-UBE2S.After validation by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE)and Western blotting methods;liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer(LC-MS)was used to identify the UBE2S interacting proteins;Gene Ontology(GO)functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)signaling pathway enrichment analysis were conducted on these proteins;the prognosis-related proteins from The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)were cross-referenced with UBE2S interacting proteins by survival package of R software;the key proteins were extracted through LASSO regression analysis to build the UIPM;the prognostic model risk scoring formula was established.The HCC patients in TCGA were divided into high risk group and low risk group based on median value of the risk scores.The predictive accuracy of UIPM was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC),and the predictive accuracy was further validated by International Cancer Genome Consortium(ICGC)Database;univariate regression analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to detect whether the UIPM risk score was an independent prognostic factor for HCC.Furthermore,the nomogram model was built.Results:A total of 97 UBE2S interacting proteins were identified through Co-IP combined with LC-MS analysis.The GO functional enrichment analysis and KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis results showed that the interacting proteins were closely associated with cysteine-type endopeptidase activity,oxidative stress,and cell death.The TCGA revealed 5 163 HCC prognosis-related proteins;after intersecting with UBE2S interacting proteins,40 prognosis-related interacting proteins were found.Seven key proteins were determined through LASSO regression analysis,including UBE2S,heat shock protein family A member 8(HSPA8),heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H1(HNRNPH1),chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 3(CCT3),eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit 1(EIF2S1),receptor for activated C kinase 1(RACK1),and actin related protein 2/3 complex subunit 4(ARPC4),and the UIPM was constructed.There was significant difference in survival rate of the patients between high risk group and low risk group(P<0.05).The ROC curve analysis results showed the area under ROC curve(AUC)values of UIPM for predicting 1-year,2-year,and 3-year survival risk scores of the HCC patients were all greater than 0.7,indicating the model had high predictive accuracy.This was also confirmed by ICGC Database data.The univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis results showed that the UIPM risk score was an independent prognostic risk factor for the HCC patients(P<0.05).The nomogram results showed good consistency between predicted survival rate and actual survival rate of the patient.Conclusion:A total of 97 interacting proteins that interact with UBE2S may promote the occurence and devolopment of HCC through oxidative stress and dysregulation of ferroptosis pathways.The UIPM risk score is an independent risk factor for the prognosis of HCC and can be used to predict the outcomes of the patients.UBE2S,HSPA8,HNRNPH1,CCT3,EIF2S1,RACK1,and ARPC4 could be regarded as the new biomarkers and therapeutic targets for HCC.

In 2019, the top ten risk factors for colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province were diet low in milk, diet low in whole grains, diet low in calcium, alcohol use, diet high in red meat, high body mass index, high fasting plasma glucose, low physical activity, diet low in fiber and diet high in processed meat. Conclusions The disease burden of colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province showed an upward trend from 1990 to 2019. The top ten risk factors for colorectal cancer remained between 1990 and 2019, while there was a slight change in ranking.

Objective To observe the morphological changes of levator hiatus in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)after spontaneous delivery with ultrasonography.Methods A total of 302 pregnant women in the first trimester(6-8 weeks)were prospectively observed,and the parameters of pelvic floor muscle hiatus were measured with ultrasound during the first trimester,also 12 weeks,6 months and 1 year after delivery at resting-state(resting period),anal contraction state(systole period)and Valsalva maneuver(tension period),respectively.Blood glucose was measured at 28 weeks of gestation,GDM was diagnosed,and the pregnant women enrolled were divided into GDM group and non-GDM group.The ultrasonic parameters and postpartum pelvic floor muscle tension were compared between groups.Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlations of pelvic floor muscle tension grade and anal levator hiatus parameters in GDM group.Results Totally 153 pregnant women were enrolled and assigned into GDM group(n=51)and non-GDM group(n=102).Transversal diameter of levator hiatus(LH-TD),anteroposterior diameter of levator hiatus(LH-APD)and levator hiatus area(LHA)in different periods 12 weeks postpartum in both groups were higher than those in early pregnancy(all P＜0.05).Six months and 1 year postpartum,in GDM group,LH-APD and LHA in systole period,also LH-TD,LH-APD and LHA in tension period were higher than those in early pregnancy(all P＜0.05),while in non-GDM group,LH-APD and LHA in tension period were higher than those of early pregnancy(all P＜0.05).One year after delivery,LH-APD and LHA in systolic period,as well as LH-TD and LHA in tension period in GDM group were all higher than those in non-GDM group(all P＜0.05),whereas the proportion of pelvic floor muscle tension of grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ was higher,of grade Ⅳ-Ⅴ was lower in GDM group than those in non-GDM group(P＜0.05).One year after delivery,pelvic floor muscle tone grade in GDM group was negatively correlated with LH-TD,LH-APD and LHA in resting,systole and tension period(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The morphology of levator hiatus changed greatly in GDM patients after spontaneous delivery,and rehabilitation training should be carried out early.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between blood uric acid level and body composition, exercise capacity, and cardiopulmonary function in medical examination population.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 83 individuals who underwent physical examinations at Peking University Third Hospital from June 1, 2023, to October 1, 2023, and met the inclusion criteria were included. According to whether they had hyperuricemia (HUA), the participants were divided into HUA group (53 cases) and non-HUA group (30 cases). Body composition parameters, such as body mass index and visceral fat area, were measured with a body composition analyzer. Exercise capacity indicators, including grip strength, vertical jump, back strength, and sit-and-reach test, were measured using specific monitoring devices. Cardiopulmonary function was assessed using the stair index test. The clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared with t-tests or chi-square tests, and the correlation between uric acid levels and body composition, exercise capacity, and cardiopulmonary function was analyzed. Results:The HUA group had significantly higher skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass, body mass index, and visceral fat area when compared with the non-HUA group [(31.92±5.60) vs (26.11±6.19) kg, (23.66±9.33) vs (17.19±5.00) kg, (26.53±3.68) vs (23.27±3.59) kg/m2, 91.20 (74.25, 123.90) vs 68.25 (56.25, 90.48) cm 2, respectively] (all P<0.05). The grip strength, vertical jump, and back pull strength were all lower in the HUA group [32.70 (25.25, 40.30) vs 42.35 (35.95, 48.10) kg, 30.30 (24.10, 36.48) vs 40.55 (33.06, 45.10) kg, 24.20(20.60, 32.23) vs 29.90 (25.20, 35.50) cm, 65.60 (51.75, 78.00) vs 91.00 (67.25, 111.50) kg, respectivley] (all P<0.05). The increased step index was positively correlated with reduced risk of hyperuricemia ( OR=0.875, 95% CI: 0.793-0.966) ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Blood uric acid level is correlated with cardiopulmonary function in medical examination population. Individuals with better cardiopulmonary function have a lower risk of developing HUA. However, the relationship between blood uric acid level and body composition and exercise capacity is not clear.
