Objective: To explore the impact of donor reentry experience, specifically among those with a single reactive serological result who completed the reentry process, on their willingness to return for future blood donation, and to examine the mediating roles of blood donation knowledge and trait anxiety. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between November and December 2025. A total of 386 blood donors from the Changsha Blood Center were categorized into a reentry group (n=123) and a control group (n=263). Data on demographic characteristics, blood donation knowledge (BDKQ), trait anxiety (STAI-T), and blood donation return intention (BDRIS) were collected via questionnaires. SPSS 27.0 and AMOS 28.0 were used for statistical analyses, including independent-samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, multiple linear regression, and path analysis for mediating effect testing. Results: There were statistically significant differences in age, occupation, education level, monthly income and donation frequency between the reentry group and the control group (all P<0.05). The reentry group scored significantly higher in blood donation knowledge and blood donation return intention than the control group (both P<0.05). The mean BDRIS score was 11.51±3.62, indicating a relatively high intention to return. Blood donation knowledge was significantly negatively correlated with trait anxiety (r=-0.15, P<0.05) and positively correlated with blood donation return intention (r=0.19, P<0.05); trait anxiety was significantly negatively correlated with blood donation return intention (r=-0.33, P<0.05). Significant differences in BDRIS scores were found based on group (reentry vs control), age, and number of previous donations (all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression showed that BDKQ positively predicted BDRIS (β=0.11, P<0.05), while STAI-T negatively predicted BDRIS (β=-0.27, P<0.05). Path analysis further revealed that the reentry experience had no direct effect on the intention to return. However, it exerted a positive influence through two indirect pathways: 1) a simple mediating effect via increased blood donation knowledge (β=0.17, accounting for 25.0% of the total effect), and 2) a chain mediating effect through "increased blood donation knowledge → decreased trait anxiety" (β=0.05, accounting for 8.1% of the total effect). The model fit indices reached the ideal fitting criteria. Conclusion: The donor reentry experience does not directly enhance the intention to return for blood donation. Rather, it may exert an indirect positive influence by increasing blood donation knowledge and through the sequential pathway of "increased knowledge → decreased trait anxiety". Blood collection institutions should leverage the reentry process as an opportunity for education and psychological support to improve donor retention rate.

Work serves as a critical means of obtaining resources, facilitating personal growth, realizing self-worth, and engaging in social interactions. However, work-related diseases pose significant threats to workers’ health and productivity, and impose considerable economic burdens. This article categorized work-related diseases into six major types, including musculoskeletal disorders, mental and behavioral disorders, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, digestive system diseases, reproductive system diseases, and non-specific respiratory diseases, and summarized their risk factors, assessment methods, policy regulation, and prevention and control measures. Current research in this field predominantly relies on cross-sectional studies, which present limitations in causal inference and potential risks of bias. Future studies should expand sample sizes, optimize research designs, and establish multidimensional evaluation systems to comprehensively assess the health and economic impacts of work-related diseases. It is recommended to enhance the translation of research findings into practice, thereby providing a scientific basis for the occupational health protection system and promoting the well-being and sustainable development of the working population.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence levels and trends of overweight and obesity among adult residents in Zhejiang Province from 2015 to 2023, so as to provide a basis for developing regional weight management strategies. Methods: Permanent residents aged ≥18 years from Zhejiang Province who participated in the China Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance Project in 2015, 2018, and 2023 were selected as survey subjects. Data on sociodemographic information, height, weight and waist circumference were collected through questionnaire surveys and physical examinations. The prevalence of overweight, obesity, and central obesity were calculated and standardized using data from the Seventh National Population Census of Zhejiang Province in 2020. The Cochran-Armitage trend test was employed to analyze the trends in prevalence of overweight, obesity, and central obesity across different genders, ages and regions. Results: A total of 23 902 individuals were surveyed, comprising 10 985 males (45.96%) and 12 917 females (54.04%). Participants were aged ≥60 years, with 13 088 individuals accounting for 54.76%. There were 9 388 urban residents (39.28%) and 14 514 rural residents (60.72%). The standardized prevalence of overweight among residents increased from 30.05% in 2015 to 33.98% in 2023, the standardized prevalence of obesity increased from 7.67% to 15.22%, and the standardized prevalence of central obesity increased from 22.81% to 33.82%, all showed upward trends (all P<0.05). In 2015, 2018, and 2023, the standardized prevalence of overweight was higher in males than in females. In 2018 and 2023, the standardized prevalence of obesity and central obesity were higher in males than in females (all P<0.05). From 2015 to 2023, the standardized prevalence of overweight, obesity, and central obesity among both males and females showed upward trends (all P<0.05). In 2015, 2018 and 2023, the prevalence of central obesity showed an increasing trend with age (all P<0.05). From 2015 to 2023, upward trends were observed in the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and central obesity among residents aged 18-<45 years and aged ≥60 years, as well as in the prevalence of obesity and central obesity among residents aged 45-<60 years (all P<0.05). In 2015, 2018 and 2023, the standardized prevalence of overweight obesity were higher in urban areas than in rural areas, while the standardized prevalence of central obesity was lower in urban areas (all P<0.05). From 2015 to 2023, the standardized prevalence of overweight, obesity, and central obesity among both urban and rural areas showed upward trends (all P<0.05). Conclusion From 2015 to 2023, the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and central obesity among adult residents in Zhejiang Province showed increasing trends, with variations in prevalence levels and trends observed across genders, ages, and urban / rural areas.

Neurodegenerative diseases(NDs)are a series of disorders characterized by varying degrees of cognitive and mobility impairment,with increasing incidence in recent years.Currently,the treatment of these diseases is mainly based on drug therapy,and there are no effective methods for reversing the course of the diseases.Corni Fructus has the efficacy of tonifying the liver and kidney,and astringency and arresting,which is effective to various types of NDs.This article summarized the pharmacological effects of Corni Fructus,including anti-inflammatory,anti-oxidative stress,regulation of mitochondrial function,modulation of autophagy,inhibition of neuronal apoptosis,and epigenetic modulation,and sorted out the research progress of Corni Fructus and its active components in the treatment of NDs,such as Alzheimer disease,Parkinson disease,multiple sclerosis,and so on,with a view to providing a reference for further research and clinical application of Corni Fructus in NDs.

Objective To construct a predictive model for patients with verte-brobasilar dolichoectasia(VBD)complicated by posterior circulation acute cerebral infarction(ACI)based on the characteristics of verte-brobasilar artery magnetic resonance vascular wall imaging(MR-VWI),thereby providing a reference for clinical prevention.Methods A total of 102 patients with VBD complicated by posterior circulation ACI who were admitted to our hospital between March 2016 and January 2023 were selected as the concurrent group.An addi-tional 102 patients with VBD without concurrent posterior circulation ACI were selected as the non-concurrent group at a 1∶1 ratio.The MR-VWI characteristics(basilar artery[BA]diameter,BA length,vertebral artery[VA]intracranial segment length,BA deviation grade,and BA bifurcation height grade)and clinical data of the two groups were compared,and the factors influencing posterior circulation ACI in patients with VBD were analyzed.Based on the MR-VWI features and related influencing factors,a nomogram prediction model of pos-terior circulation ACI in patients with VBD was constructed,and the clinical significance of the nomogram prediction model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)and calibration curves.Results A significant difference were observed in the D-dimer levels between the two groups(P＜0.05).BA diameter,BA length,and VA intracranial length were greater in the concurrent group than in the non-concurrent group.The proportion of BA bifurcation height grade ≥ 2 and BA deviation grade≥2 in the concurrent group was higher than that in the non-concurrent group(P＜0.05).BA diameter,BA length,BA bifurcation height classification,BA deviation classi-fication,and D-dimer level were all independent risk factors for posterior circulation ACI in patients with VBD(P＜0.05).The area under the curve of the posterior circulation ACI predicted using the nomogram model was 0.900(95％CI:0.858-0.943),and good calibration was noted.Conclusion BA diameter,BA length,BA bifurcation height classification,BA offset classification,and D-dimer level were inde-pendent influencing factors of posterior circulation ACI in patients with VBD.Based on these factors,a nomogram prediction model was constructed with high prediction efficiency and good calibration.

Objective To investigate the effects of Jinfukang on the growth of human lung cancer H358 cell xenografts in nude mice and its regulatory role in the TRIM52-mediated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.Methods Human lung cancer H358 cells were cultured,and a subcutaneous xenograft model was established in nude mice.The mice were randomly divided into four groups:0.9％sodium chloride solution,cisplatin(3 mg·kg-1,intraperitoneal injection every 3 days),Jinfukang(0.4 mL,daily oral administration),and Jinfukang combined with cisplatin.Each group included 6 mice.After 15 days of continuous treatment,the tumor growth inhibition rate was calculated.Hematoxylin and eosin(H&E)staining was performed to observe tumor histopathological changes.TUNEL assay was used to evaluate apoptosis and calculate the apoptotic index.The relative mRNA expression levels and protein expression of TRIM52,PCNA,c-Myc,β-catenin,and Cyclin D1 were assessed by Real-time PCR and western blot,respectively.Results Compared with the saline group,Jinfukang,cisplatin,and Jinfukang combined with cisplatin treatments significantly inhibited tumor growth(P＜0.05).The combination group exhibited the most pronounced anti-tumor effect,slightly better than cisplatin alone,although the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Histopathological analysis and apoptosis indices revealed that the combination group showed the most severe necrosis and the highest level of apoptosis compared to other groups(P＜0.05).Furthermore,the combination group significantly downregulated the mRNA(P＜0.05)and protein(P＜0.05)expression levels of Cyclin D1,PCNA,TRIM52,β-catenin and c-Myc.Conclusion Jinfukang effectively inhibits the growth of human lung cancer H358 xenografts,disrupts tumor cell structure,and promotes apoptosis.Its anti-tumor effect is further enhanced when combined with cisplatin.The underlying mechanism may involve the downregulation of TRIM52 expression,leading to the suppression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activity and augmentation of anti-tumor efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors and perinatal outcomes associated with monozygotic twins (MZT) following elective single embryo transfer (eSET) via in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET). Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 12 079 patients who achieved pregnancy after undergoing IVF/ICSI-eSET at Reproductive Health Hospital of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between January 2015 and September 2023. Patients were stratified into two groups based on ultrasound findings 30 d post-transfer: singleton pregnancy group and MZT pregnancy group. Finally, 300 MZT and 1 500 single pregnancies, which were randomly matched according to 1∶5 were included by study period. General patients' characteristics, embryo-related factors, and perinatal outcomes were compared between the two groups. A multivariate logistic regression model was employed to identify risk factors for MZT after single embryo transfer, adjusting for potential confounding variables.Results:The incidence of twin pregnancy following single embryo transfer was 2.48% (300/12 079), which was higher than that of naturally conceived monozygotic twin pregnancy. No significant difference was found in baseline characteristics between the two groups (all P>0.05). The blastocyst transfer rate was higher in the MZT pregnancy group [93.3% (280/300)] than in the singleton pregnancy group [88.8% (1 332/1 500), P=0.022]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis also showed that blastocyst transfer was associated with an increased risk of MZT ( OR=0.552, P=0.016, 95% CI: 0.341-0.894). Analysis of blastocyst cycles showed that the risk of MZT was higher when transferring high-quality blastocysts [79.6% (223/280) vs. 67.8% (903/1 332), P<0.001], where as a trophectoderm (TE) grading of C [20.4% (57/280) vs. 32.2% (429/1 332), P<0.001] had a lower risk of MZT. After adjusting for confounding factors, the risk of MZT was found to increase with the transfer of blastocysts with a B-grade inner cell mass (ICM) ( OR=0.601, P=0.001, 95% CI: 0.442-0.819) and A/B grade TE (grade A: OR=2.951, P<0.001, 95% CI: 1.980-4.399; grade B: OR=1.840, P<0.001, 95% CI: 1.315-2.576). The risk of complications during pregnancy [47.7% (143/300) vs. 19.3% (289/1 500), P<0.001], preterm labor [55.1% (140/254) vs. 7.4% (101/1 368), P<0.001], and the risk of stillbirth [3.7% (11/300) vs. 1.5% (22/1 500), P=0.016] were significantly higher in the MZT pregnancy group than in the singleton pregnancy group. Conclusion:Assisted reproductive technology may contribute to the risk of MZT. Transfer of blastocysts, particularly those with loose ICM arrangement and dense TE arrangement, appears to increase the risk of MZT in patients undergoing eSET.

Objective:To observe the safety and short-term efficacy of using an autologous fascia lata sling (AFLS) for tension-free mid-urethral sling (MUS) in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).Methods:Between February 2022 and December 2023, 11 patients with SUI underwent AFLS-MUS. Preoperative data were recorded, including basic patient information and completion of urinary distress inventory 6 (UDI-6). During surgery, AFLS was harvested through a small incision using a tendon extractor, and used as a sling for transobturator or retropubic MUS. Perioperative indicators were recorded, including surgical approach, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, duration of catheterization, perioperative complications (Clavien-Dindo classification), and surgical costs. Follow-ups included outpatient physical examination at 2 months postoperatively, and telephone follow-up at 6 months, 1 year, and annually thereafter. Follow-up content included the presence or absence of urinary leakage symptoms, UDI-6, satisfaction, patient global impression of improvement (PGI-I), and complications.Results:The age of the 11 patients was (54.8±10.9) years (range: 41-72 years), with body mass index of (23.9±1.8) kg/m2 (range: 21.4-27.3 kg/m2). All patients experienced urinary leakage after coughing, sneezing and physical activity, with positive SUI provocation tests. The preoperative UDI-6 was 50.0±21.6 (range: 16.7-79.2), the result of 1-hour pad test was (18.9±12.0) g (range: 2.5-71.2 g). Four cases underwent MUS only, with operation time of (98.0±13.3) minutes (range: 86-117 minutes), and intraoperative blood loss of (17.5±5.0) ml (range: 10-20 ml); 7 cases also underwent pelvic floor repair simultaneously. The postoperative hospital stay was (3.5±2.0) days (range: 2-9 days). The duration of catheterization was (4.5±3.8) days (range: 2-11 days), with postoperative urinary retention in three cases, one of which underwent sling release surgery due to severe postoperative voiding difficulty 1 week after MUS, with no other complications of Clavien-Dindo grade 2 or above. The cost of AFLS harvest plus MUS was (2 762±293) yuan. At the 2-month outpatient follow-up, all patients were free of urinary leakage symptoms, with UDI-6 of 2.3±1.9 (range: 0-8.3); satisfaction was "very satisfied" in 10 cases and "fairly satisfied" in 1 case, with PGI-I all being "much better", and pelvic examinations were normal. Telephone follow-up showed one case lost to follow-up, and the remaining 10 cases had follow-up time of (18.6±4.9) months (range: 7-26 months), all without urinary leakage, with UDI-6 of 2.7±2.6, satisfaction rated as "very satisfied", and PGI-I all "much better".Conclusion:This modified AFLS-MUS for the treatment of SUI shows good short-term efficacy and high safety in harvest site, with the need for more data accumulation and long-term follow-up.

Objectives:QT interval prolongation during treadmill test exercise is one of the clinical feature of patients with long QT syndrome(LQTS).This study aimed to explore the feasibility and efficacy of treadmill exercise testing as an auxiliary diagnosis tool for LQTS in clinical practice.Methods:We enrolled normal healthy individuals,common cardiovascular disease patients,and clinically diagnosed or suspected LQTS patients,who underwent treadmill exercise test from July 2023 to July 2024 at Fuwai Hospital.A special treadmill exercise testing procedure was designed to record the QT interval correction(QTc)intervals of the twelve lead electrocardiogram at 6 time points when performing the exercise tablet,including supine,sitting,standing,peak exercise,and recovery at 1-minute and 4-minute.The differences in QTc intervals among healthy group,cardiovascular diseases group,and suspected LQTS group were compared.Results:A total of 80 cases were consecutively enrolled,including 37 normal healthy controls,25 patients with common cardiovascular disease,and 18 patients with suspected LQTS.The QTc intervals at 6 points did not differ significantly between normal healthy controls and patients with cardiovascular disease,with QTc intervals less than 480 ms at all measurement.For patients with suspected LQTS,67.7%(12/18)of these patients presented a QTc interval≥480 ms at the 4-minute during recovery period.Among them,5 cases were confirmed to have pathogenic gene mutations of LQTS by genetic testing(including 1 case with a lying electrocardiogram QTc interval of 489 ms diagnosed with LQTS 1 type and a QTc interval of 636 ms during the 4-minute recovery period after exercise);5 clinically diagnosed patients(negative or undetectable in genetic testing)with a Schwartz score≥4,and the remaining 2 patients had a Schwartz score of 3.The remaining 5/18 patients,include 2 patients with clinical Schwartz scores≥4 and 3 patients with clinical suspicion(Schwartz scores 2-3)had a 4 min QTc interval of 445-480 ms during exercise recovery.Another patient with clinical suspicion(Schwartz score 3)had a 4 min QTc interval of<445 ms during exercise recovery and a negative genetic test at a later stage.Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed a sensitivity of 83.3%and specificity of 98.4%for QTc interval≥482 ms during the 4-minute recovery period of exercise as the LQTS diagnostic cutoff.Conclusions:This study results suggest that this special treadmill exercise testing protocol is effective in identifying LQTS and has strong feasibility and generalizability for clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate, for multi-sensitized allergic rhinitis (AR) patients allergic to dust mites combined with other allergens (pollen, mold, animal dander, etc.), whether the single dust mite subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) can improve the specific symptoms caused by other allergens in the patients, and to analyze the relationship between the effectiveness of symptom improvement in these patients and the type, quantity and severity of the allergens.Methods:A multicenter retrospective study was conducted to collect mul-sensitized AR patients from allergy or respiratory departments of 5 hospitals who received house dust mite allergen preparation SCIT for 12 to 36 months and met other inclusion and exclusion criteria from February to July 2024. General clinical data were collected and the perennial or seasonal symptoms before and after treatment were evaluated with visual analogue scale (VAS) to assess whether there was an perennial or allergen-specific symptom improvement (VAS score decrease ≥30%), by which the patients were divided into effective group and ineffective. R software was used to analyze the differences between groups by using Fisher′s exact test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results:A total of 62 patients were enrolled, and the treatment were effective in 39 of them, with an effective rate of 62.9%. For allergen-specific symptoms, the median age of the effective group was higher than that of the ineffective group (12 years old vs. 8 years old, P=0.039), and the effective rate in dust mite specific immunoglobin E (sIgE) grade ≤5 group was higher than that in sIgE grade >5 group (81.6% vs. 45.5%, P=0.008), and the effective rate of mold sIgE grade ≤2 group was higher than that of sIgE grade >2 group (83.3% vs. 28.6%, P=0.045), and there was no statistically significant correlation between the other allergen grades and the effective rate ( P>0.05). For perennial symptoms, the effective rate in the mold grade ≤2 group was higher than that in the sIgE grade >2 group (91.3% vs. 28.6%, P=0.010), and there was no statistically significant correlation between the other allergen grades and the effective rate ( P>0.05). There was no significant correlation between the treatment effectiveness of perennial or allergen-specific symptoms and the number of combined allergens, the grade of skin test, and the difference between the grade of combined allergens and that of dust mites ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Among the patients with multi-sensitized AR allergic to dust mites included in this study, single dust mite SCIT is effective in some of them, and for allergen-specific symptoms, the effective group was elder, and dust mite sIgE grade 6 and mold sIgE grade ≥2 was related to the low effective rate of SCIT. The present results are insufficient for selecting single or multiple AIT in any type of multi-sensitized patients.
