Objective To explore the effects of air pressure, humidity, wind, and sunshine on the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) in Guiyang, and to provide reference for the prevention of CVD. Methods Using CVD incidence data from September 2021 to August 2022 in Guiyang City and meteorological data including average air pressure, average humidity, wind, and sunshine during the same period, the effects of meteorological factors on CVD incidence were explored and the importance of each factor was analyzed. Results When air pressure was below 868 hPa, above 887 hPa, or between 877 and 883 hPa, and when air pressure dropped less than 5.3 hPa within 24 hours, there was a higher risk of CVD. When the humidity was above 81%, the wind speed was small (<1.2 m/s) or high (>4m/s), and there was less sunlight (less than 3 hours), the risk of CVD was higher. Low humidity (<60%) was not conducive to the onset of CVD. There were highest risks at lag 5~10 days and 4-25 days for high pressure and low sunlight, respectively. When the relative humidity was saturated, there was an immediate effect. When the wind speed was low and high, the immediate effect and hysteresis effects were significant. Among the above meteorological factors, the impact of 24-hour variation of pressure and high or low atmospheric pressure on the incidence of CVD was the most significant, while the impact of sunlight and humidity was the weakest. The impact of diurnal variations in wind and atmospheric pressure was not clear. Conclusion The impact of air pressure on the incidence of CVD does not exhibit a simple linear relationship. The risk of CVD is high in high humidity, low light, and moderate or strong winds. It is necessary to fully consider changes in meteorological factors for CVD prevention and control.

Objective: To explore the association between mediterranean diet (MD) patterns and dental caries among children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), so as to provide a basis for developing scientific anti caries strategies related to diet. Methods: From December 2021 to June 2024, a questionnaire survey, a three day 24 hour dietary review survey, oral health examination, physical development measurement and Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) evaluation were conducted involving 147 children and adolescents aged 2-22 years with NDD from nine special education schools and rehabilitation institutions in Tianjin. Group comparisons were carried out using the Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test, or Fisher s exact probability method. The correlation between dietary quality and dental caries was analyzed by adopting multiple linear regression analysis and restricted cubic spline. Results: There were 46 children and adolescents (31.3%) in the non dental caries group and 101 children and adolescents (68.7%) in the dental caries group. The number of decayed missing and filled teeth (dmft) was 2.0 (4.0), and the MD score was 4.0 (2.0) points. There were 62 children and adolescents (42.2%) in the low MD scores group and 85 children and adolescents (57.8%) in the high MD scores group. There was no significant difference in MD scores between NDD children in the non dental caries group and those in the dental caries group [nondental caries group:4.0(2.0), dental caries group:4.0(2.0), Z= -0.14, P >0.05]. The MD scores and dmft exhibited increasing and then decreasing trend ( P total =0.02, P non lineary = 0.04 ). Children and adolescents with NDD in the MD high scores group had a lower number of dmft than those in the MD low scores group ( β= -2.00 , 95%CI =-3.39 to -0.62, P <0.05). However, in children and adolescents with NDD and CARS scores ≥30, the above association was insignificant ( β=-0.63, 95%CI=-0.29-0.15, P >0.05). Conclusion Children and adolescents with NDD who have dietary patterns similar to the Mediterranean diet, are found to have fewer dental caries, and this is observed among those with no or mild symptoms of autism spectrum disorder.

Objective:To analyze the association between the rs562556 polymorphism of the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9(PCSK9)gene and the degree of coronary artery stenosis in the patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods:A total of 200 patients diagnosed with AMI from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected as AMI group,and 200 healthy individuals during the same period were selected as control group.According to the Gensini scoring standard,the patients in AMI group were divided into low risk group(Gensini score≤40,n=78)and medium-high risk group(Gensini score>40,n=122).The levels of lipid metabolism indicators in serum of the patients in two groups were detected by fully automatic biochemical analyzer;enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)method was used to detect the PCSK9 levels in serum of the patients in two groups;ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to detect the single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)of PCSK9 gene of the patients in two groups;Spearman correlation analysis was used to detect the correlation between the rs562556 polymorphism of the PCSK9 gene and the degree of the disease and the levels of lipid metabolism indicators in serum of the patients.Results:Compared with control group,the percentage of smokers of the patients in AMI group was significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with control group,the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-c)and PCSK9 in serum of the patients in AMI group were significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with low risk group,the levels of LDL-c and PCSK9 in serum of the patients in medium-high risk group were significantly increased(P<0.05).The distribution of PCSK9 gene rs1800487 genotype in both control and AMI groups conformed to the Hardy-Weinberg(H-W)equilibrium(χ2=0.677,P=0.713;χ2=0.970,P=0.831).Compared with control group,the distribution frequencies of PCSK9 gene rs562556 genotype AA and allele A of the patients in AMI group were significantly increased(P<0.05).In the AMI patients,the distribution of PCSK9 gene rs562556 genotype in both low risk and medium-high risk groups conformed to the H-W equilibrium(χ2=0.045,P=0.978;χ2=1.290,P=0.525).Compared with low risk group,the distribution frequencies of genotype AA and allele A of PCSK9 gene rs562556 of the patients in medium-high risk group were significantly increased(P<0.05).The PCSK9 gene rs562556 genotype AA was positively correlated with the degree of AMI(r=0.193,P=0.006)and LDL-c level(r=0.301,P<0.01).Allele A was positively correlated with the LDL-c level(r=0.168,P=0.017).Conclusion:The PCSK9 gene rs562556 genotype AA is positively correlated with the degree of coronary artery stenosis of the AMI patients,and its polymorphism may promote the development of AMI by upregulating the LDL-c level.

TCM believes that spleen deficiency is the root cause of emotional abnormalities in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and clinical treatment often involves the heart, liver and kidney. TCM therapy has a significant efficacy in CFS emotional abnormalities. It is mostly treated with oral administration of TCM, acupuncture, moxibustion and massage therapy. It may play a therapeutic role by improving oxidative stress and immune inflammation, regulating nerve-endocrine, controlling energy metabolism and other ways. It is suggested to establish the syndrome differentiation standard of CFS emotional abnormality in the future, so as to improve the accuracy of syndrome differentiation and treatment; form a perfect treatment guide or expert consensus to guide the standardized application of various internal and external treatment methods; explore objective indicators based on the pathogenesis, and focus on the morphological and functional changes of disease target brain regions with the help of neuroimaging techniques, so as to improve the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of CFS; based on the guidance of TCM theory, improve the CFS emotional abnormal animal modeling method.

TCM functional exercises are the important means of TCM to prevent and cure diseases. By adjusting the bones and muscles externally, adjusting the heart and organs internally, promoting blood circulation, improving sleep disorders, enhancing metabolism and immune capacity, the aim of preventing and treating diseases, prolonging life span, and strengthening the body is achieved. TCM exercises have a significant effect on the treatment of various types of fatigue such as chronic fatigue syndrome, Exercise-induced fatigue, post-stroke fatigue, and cancer-related fatigue.

Objective To explore the diagnosis of clinically suspicious von Willebrand disease(vWD)in a family and its pathogene-sis.Methods The pedigree information and the biological specimen were collected from the clinically suspected VWD patient and her family members(4 persons in total)in Peking University First Hospital.The levels of platelet count(PLT),activated partial thrombo-plastin time(APTT),vWF antigen(vWF:Ag),vWF activity(vWF:Ac)and FⅧ activity(FⅧ:C)were detected,and vWF risto-cetin cofactor(vWF:RCo)assay,ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation assay(RIPA)and vWF collagen binding(vWF:CB)assay were performed for phenotype diagnosis.The peripheral blood genomic DNAs were extracted from the proband and her family members to perform whole-exome sequencing for identifying the mutation of vWF gene,The mutation site was analyzed by using bioinformation tools to explore the pathogenesis of the proband.Results The APTT of proband(m 1)was slightly prolonged and her vWF:Ag,vWF:Ac,vWF:RCo and vWF:CB were significantly decreased.There was no obvious aggregation in RIPA assay(1.0 mg/mL and 1.25 mg/mL).In her father(Ⅱ3),APTT,FⅧ:C,vWF:Ag,vWF:Ac and vWF:CB were normal,but vWF:RCo was slightly decreased.In her mother(Ⅱ4),APTT,FⅧ:C,vWF:Ag,vWF:RCo and vWF:CB were all normal,but vWF:Ac significantly decreased.In her brother(Ⅲ2),APTT and FⅧ:C were normal,but vWF:Ag,vWF:Ac,vWF:RCo and vWF:CB were reduced to varying degrees.In all the family members(father,mother and brpther),no apparent aggregation in RIPA(1.0 mg/mL)was shown.Genetic analysis showed that the proband(Ⅲ1)carried a compound heterozygous mutation of vWF gene c.7288-9T＞G and c.1117C＞T,her father(Ⅱ3)carried vWF gene c.7288-9T＞G heterozygous mutation,and vWF gene c.1117C＞T heterozygous mutation was presented in both mother(Ⅱ4)and brother(Ⅲ2).Conclusion According to the results of laboratory tests,the proband was diagnosed as type 2A vWD.The hetero-zygous mutation in vWF gene c.1117C＞T and c.7288-9T＞G may be the molecular mechanism leading to type 2A vWD in the proband.
