This study utilized data from the non-communicable diseases (NCDs) Progress Monitor Reports (2015, 2017, 2020, 2022) released by World Health Organization (WHO) to analyze the implementation of NCDs prevention and control policies in China from 2014 to 2021 through descriptive statistical method, aiming to provide evidence for strengthening national NCDs strategies. The analysis focuses on WHO-recommended ‘best buys’ policies for NCDs prevention and control, covering 10 categories (18 interventions): national NCDs targets, mortality data, risk factor surveys, national integrated NCDs policies/strategies/action plans, tobacco demand-reduction measures, harmful use of alcohol reduction measures, unhealthy diet reduction policies, physical activity campaigns, national clinical guidelines for cancer/CVD/diabetes/CRD management, and drug therapy/counselling for cardiovascular diseases. In accordance with the WHO′s NCDs progress monitor scoring methodology, policies are assigned 1.0 point for full implementation, 0.5 points for partial implementation, and 0 points for non-implementation or missing data, with a maximum total score of 18.0 points. The analytical metrics encompass the policy implementation score, implementation rate, and period-on-period implementation growth rate. The results showed that China′s total policy implementation scores for NCDs prevention and control in 2014, 2016, 2019, and 2021 were consistently higher than the global average (8.5, 10.5, 9.5, 9.5 vs 6.7, 8.3, 8.6, 8.6). From 2014 to 2021, the total score increased by 1.0 point, and the implementation rate improved by 8.9%. From 2014 to 2016, China′s total policy implementation score rose from 8.5 to 10.5, primarily driven by improvements in tobacco tax increases and unhealthy diet reduction measures (salt reduction, restrictions on high-fat foods, and regulation of breast-milk substitute sales). However, this progress was partially offset by a decline in scores for physical activity campaigns. From 2016 to 2019, the total score decreased to 9.5, largely due to lower scores in harmful use of alcohol reduction measures (alcohol taxation and advertising bans). From 2019 to 2021, the total score remained stable, with increases in marketing to children restrictions balanced by declines in scores for drug therapy/counselling for cardiovascular diseases. In 2021, China′s total policy implementation score (9.5) exceeded the global average (8.6) but fell below the G20 average (11.2). Significant gaps remained compared to top-performing G20 countries such as Turkey (16.5), particularly in tobacco control and restrictions on harmful alcohol use. In conclusion, from 2014 to 2021, China′s total policy implementation score for NCDs prevention and control consistently exceeded the global average, demonstrating an upward trend, and various NCDs prevention and control policies have been continuously improved.

Objective:To explore the relationship between atherosclerotic index of plasma(AIP)and vulnerable plaque of coronary under computed tomography(CT)based on coronary CT angiography(CCTA).Methods:Data were retrospectively collected on 213 patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)who underwent CCTA examination from January 2021 to February 2024 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shenyang Medical College,and they were divided into a vulnerable plaque group(123 cases)and a non-vulnerable plaque group(90 cases)according to whether existed vulnerable plaque of coronary artery.General clinical data such as age,gender,history of smoking,history of alcohol consumption,history of diabetes,and serum indicators such as AIP were collected.The differences in AIP and other factors between the two groups were compared.The independent influencing factors of vulnerable plaque of coronary artery were determined by multifactorial logistic regression analysis,and the predictive value of AIP for vulnerable plaque was assessed by drawing a receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results:AIP of vulnerable plaque group was 0.22±0.31,which was higher than that 0.05±0.27 of the vulnerable plaque group,and the difference of AIP between two groups was significant(t=4.223,P<0.001).Multifactorial logistic analysis showed there was independent correlation between AIP and vulnerable plaque under CT(OR=7.556,95%CI:2.442～23.385,P=0.002).The ROC curve showed that the best cut-off value of AIP was 0.20 in predicting vulnerable plaque under CT,and the value of area under curve(AUC)was 0.665,and the sensitivity was 55.56%and the specificity was 73.98%.Conclusion:AIP is an independent influencing factor for CHD patients who complicate vulnerable plaques,and it has a certain of predictive value for vulnerable plaques.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided adductor canal approach to nerve block using one-puncture four-point technique for analgesia after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:Sixty patients of both sexes, aged 65-80 yr, with body mass index of 18-27 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱor Ⅲ, scheduled for elective unilateral TKA under general anesthesia, were enrolled in this study.Peripheral nerve block was performed for postoperative analgesia under ultrasound guidance.All the patients were allocated into 2 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: adductor canal block combined with posterior approach to sciatic nerve block group (group ASB) and adductor canal approach to nerve block using one-puncture four-point technique including sciatic nerve, medial vastus muscle nerve, saphenous nerve, anterior femoral cutaneous nerve at adductor canal level group (group ANSB). When visual analogue scale score ≥4 during postoperative movement, ketorolac tromethamine 0.6 mg/kg was intravenously injected as rescue analgesic. The muscle strength of quadriceps on the affected side, range of knee joint motion and rate of the ability to walk for 10 m using the walker were recorded at 2, 8, 24 and 48 h after surgery.The consumption of analgesics for rescue analgesia, manipulation completion time, length of hospital stay and patients′ satisfaction score were recorded within 48 h after surgery. Results:Compared with group ASB, the consumption of ketorolac tromethamine was significantly reduced, manipulation completion time and length of hospital stay were shortened, patients′ satisfaction scores were increased, and the range of knee joint motion and rate of the ability to walk for 10 m using the walker were increased at 2, 8, 24 and 48 h after surgery in group ANSB ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in muscle strength of quadriceps between two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided adductor canal approach to nerve block using one-puncture four-point technique provides better efficacy than adductor canal block combined with posterior approach to sciatic nerve block when used for analgesia after TKA.
