Objective:
To establish a prediction model for high-risk cardiovascular disease (CVD) among residents aged 35 to 75 years, so as to provide the basis for improving CVD prevention and control measures.
Methods:
Permanent residents aged 35 to 75 years were selected from Dongcheng District, Beijing Municipality using the stratified random sampling method from 2018 to 2023. Demographic information, lifestyle, waist circumference and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests. Influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model, and a prediction model for high-risk CVD was established. The predictive effect was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results:
A total of 6 968 individuals were surveyed, including 2 821 males (40.49%) and 4 147 females (59.51%), and had a mean age of (59.92±9.33) years. There were 1 155 high-risk CVD population, with a detection rate of 16.58%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, central obesity, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the established prediction model was 0.849 (95%CI: 0.834-0.863), with a sensitivity of 0.693 and a specificity of 0.863, indicating good discrimination.
Conclusion
The model constructed by eight factors including demographic characteristics, lifestyle and blood biochemical indicators has good predictive value for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years.

Peyronie's disease (PD) is a disorder characterized by fibrous plaque formation in the penile tissue that leads to curvature and complications in advanced stages. In this study, we aimed to compare four injectable induction agents for the establishment of a robust rat model of PD: transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), fibrin, sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) combined with TGF-β1, and polidocanol (POL) combined with TGF-β1. The results showed that injection of TGF-β1 or fibrin into the tunica albuginea induced pathological endpoints without causing penile curvature. The STS + TGF-β1 combination resulted in both histological and morphological alterations, but with a high incidence of localized necrosis that led to animal death. The POL + TGF-β1 combination produced pathological changes and curvature comparable to STS + TGF-β1 and led to fewer complications. In conclusion, fibrin, STS + TGF-β1, and POL + TGF-β1 all induced PD with a certain degree of penile curvature and histological fibrosis in rats. The POL + TGF-β1 combination offered comparatively greater safety and clinical relevance and may have the greatest potential for PD research using model rats.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between azimuth direction,angular intervals,and the accuracy of azimuthal sound source localization.METHODS Fifteen young subjects with normal hearing were tested using nine azimuth settings.The test results were presented as root mean square error and percentage confusion.RESULTS The confusion rate under high-frequency narrowband noise was significantly higher than that under broadband noise and three-syllable words.In the frontal direction,statistically significant differences were observed between the 20° and 10° intervals,as well as between the 20° and 15° intervals(P<0.05),but no significant difference was found between the 10° and 15° intervals(P>0.05).In the lateral and rear directions,statistically significant differences were found between the 30° and 15° intervals,as well as between the 30° and 20° intervals(P<0.05),but no significant difference was found between the 15° and 20° intervals(P>0.05).Statistically significant differences were observed between the frontal direction and both the lateral and rear directions(P<0.05),but no significant difference was found between the lateral and rear directions(P>0.05).CONCLUSION Using stimuli that contain broader bandwidth cues can more accurately reflect the subject's horizontal localization ability.For source azimuth identification tests using broadband noise and three-syllable words,it is recommended to use a 15° interval in the frontal direction,and a 20° interval in the lateral and rear directions.The frontal and lateral directions can be preferred for testing.

OBJECTIVE:
To examine the therapeutic effect of Fangji Fuling Decoction (FFD) on sepsis through network pharmacological analysis combined with in vitro and in vivo experiments.
METHODS:
A sepsis mouse model was constructed through intraperitoneal injection of 20 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS). RAW264.7 cells were stimulated by 250 ng/mL LPS to establish an in vitro cell model. Network pharmacology analysis identified the key molecular pathway associated with FFD in sepsis. Through ectopic expression and depletion experiments, the effect of FFD on multiple organ damage in septic mice, as well as on cell proliferation and apoptosis in relation to the mitogen-activated protein kinase 14/Forkhead Box O 3A (MAPK14/FOXO3A) signaling pathway, was analyzed.
RESULTS:
FFD reduced organ damage and inflammation in LPS-induced septic mice and suppressed LPS-induced macrophage apoptosis and inflammation in vitro (P<0.05). Network pharmacology analysis showed that FFD could regulate the MAPK14/FOXO signaling pathway during sepsis. As confirmed by in vitro cell experiments, FFD inhibited the MAPK14 signaling pathway or FOXO3A expression to relieve LPS-induced macrophage apoptosis and inflammation (P<0.05). Furthermore, FFD inhibited the MAPK14/FOXO3A signaling pathway to inhibit LPS-induced macrophage apoptosis in the lung tissue of septic mice (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
FFD could ameliorate the LPS-induced inflammatory response in septic mice by inhibiting the MAPK14/FOXO3A signaling pathway.

ObjectiveBy analyzing the current situation of drug selection and evaluation in medical institutions in the world,we aim to understand the development of relevant selection methods and tools,provide reference basis for drug selection in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) medical institutions,and promote the optimization of drug catalogs in TCM medical institutions. MethodBased on the method of scoping review,the eight databases were systematically searched,the included documents were screened,extracted and analyzed,and the research results were graphically displayed. ResultA total of 23 articles were included in this study,including 13 in Chinese and 10 in English,involving 23 methods or tools related to drug selection. Of the 14 methods or tools from Chinese medical institutions,the earliest one was published in 2012,and five were published in 2022. The published methods or tools involved different levels of hospitals,different drug varieties,different evaluation angles,etc.,such as the drug selection methods of one county hospital and one township hospital, methods and tools for different types of drugs such as antibacterial drugs,ibuprofen preparations,proton pump inhibitors and hypoglycemic drugs used in pediatric intensive care units, Chinese patent medicine selection tools, tools for evaluation from the perspective of pharmacoeconomics, and universal tools for selecting domestic medical institutions. The nine drug selection tools of foreign medical institutions were from the European,American,Asian and African countries. It was first published in 1955. The contents included the formulation standards that medical institutions should follow for drug prescription sets,the management formulation and update of hospital prescription sets,and drug evaluation tools. ConclusionOn the whole,the drug selection methods and institutional methods of foreign medical institutions developed earlier than those in China. In recent years,Chinese medical institutions have paid high attention to drug selection and released various types of drug selection tools. However,the standardization should be further improved in the future.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of Huangqi injection combined with Buzhong Yiqi acupuncture in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) with Qi deficiency and its effects on TCM syndromes, fatigue symptoms, serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) levels. MethodA total of 200 patients with CFS of Qi deficiency were randomly divided into a control group (100 cases) and an observation group (100 cases). The control group was treated with vitamin B compounds, and the observation group was treated with Huangqi injection combined with Buzhong Yiqi acupuncture for two weeks. The scores of TCM syndromes, fatigue symptoms, levels of serum SOD, MDA, and ox-LDL and the incidence of adverse reactions were observed and compared before and after treatment in two groups. ResultAfter treatment, the total effective rate of the control group was 54.34% (50/92), while that of the observation group was 88.54% (85/96). The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (χ2=27.13,P<0.05). Compared with those in the two groups before treatment, scores of fatigue self-assessment scale (FSAS), physical fatigue and mental fatigue, and sleep/rest response scores of fatigue in the two groups after treatment were significantly decreased (P<0.05). After treatment, scores of FSAS, physical fatigue and mental fatigue, and sleep/rest response scores of fatigue in the observation group were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with those in the two groups before treatment, TCM syndrome scores in the two groups after treatment were significantly decreased (P<0.05). After treatment, TCM syndrome scores in the observation group were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with those in the two groups before treatment, MDA levels in the two groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05), ox-LDL levels in the observation group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and SOD levels were significantly increased (P<0.05). After treatment, compared with those in the control group, the serum MDA and ox-LDL levels in the observation group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the serum SOD was significantly increased (P<0.05). No serious adverse events or adverse reactions occurred during this clinical trial. ConclusionHuangqi injection combined with Buzhong Yiqi acupuncture has a good clinical curative effect in the treatment of CFS with Qi deficiency, which can effectively improve the fatigue symptoms of patients, increase the level of SOD, and reduce the level of serum MDA and ox-LDL. It is related to the production of antioxidants, inhibiting the production of lipid peroxides, and improving the body's ability to resist oxidative stress.
