Background The impact of atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) and ozone (O₃) on the mortality of circulatory system diseases cannot be ignored. However, whether the interaction between PM_2.5 and O₃ can affect population health is rarely reported and requires study. Objective To investigate the individual and interactive impacts of atmospheric PM_2.5 and O₃ on the mortality of circulatory system diseases in the population of Ningxia region. Methods The data of 119647 deaths due to circulatory system diseases, daily average concentrations of atmospheric pollutants, and meteorological data in Ningxia from 2013 to 2020 were retrieved. PM_2.5 was divided into low, medium, and high concentrations according to the primary and secondary national limits (35 and 75 μg·m⁻³) of the Ambient air quality standards. Similarly, O₃ was divided into low, medium, and high concentrations according to the national limits (100 and 160 μg·m⁻³). Using a generalized additive mixed model based on quasi Poisson distribution, the impacts of atmospheric PM_2.5 and O₃ as well as their interaction on the mortality of circulatory system diseases were analyzed using the population data of Ningxia region. Results During the target period, males and the ≥ 65 year group accounted for larger proportions of deaths due to circulatory system diseases (55.47% and 79.87% respectively). The daily average concentration of PM_2.5 (40.25 μg·m⁻³) exceeded the national primary limit. In the single pollution model, the highest cumulative lag effects for mortality from circulatory system diseases were PM_2.5 exposure over previous 1 d (lag01) and O₃ exposure for previous 2 d (lag02), and their excess risk (ER) values were 1.03% (95%CI: 0.67%, 1.40%) and 1.02% (95%CI: 0.57%, 1.50%), respectively. The results of concentration stratification analysis showed that the most significant risks of death from circulatory system diseases [ER (95%CI): 1.12% (0.32%, 1.92%) and 0.95% (0.13%, 1.79%) respectively] were found at medium PM_2.5 and O₃ concentrations. The interaction analysis revealed that under, a synergistic effect on the risk of death from circulatory system diseases was identified (relative excess risk due to interaction=3.08%, attributable proportion of interaction=2.90%, synergy index=1.89) when considering the coexistence of PM_2.5 and O₃ above the primary limit. As the concentrations of PM_2.5 and O₃ increased, the synergistic effect increased the risk of death from circulatory system diseases in the general population, men, women, and the ≥ 65 years group. Conclusion Both atmospheric PM_2.5 and O₃ can increase the risk of death from circulatory system diseases, and the two pollutants have a synergistic effect on the risk of death from circulatory system diseases.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of bone marrow megakaryocytes in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) complicated with positive for antinuclear antibody (ANA) but cannot be diagnosed as rheumatic immune diseases. Methods Newly diagnosed ITP patients in the First Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University were retrospectively selected and divided into ITP1 group (ITP patients with positive ANA) and ITP2 group (ITP patients with negative rheumatic indicators). Degree of thrombocytopenia, the total number of bone marrow megakaryocytes, and the ratios of various types of megakaryocytes at the initial diagnosis were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 42 newly diagnosed ITP patients were included, with 20 cases in the ITP1 group and 22 cases in the ITP2 group. There were no significant differences in general information such as gender and age between the two groups (P>0.05). The platelet (PLT) count was (7.55±0.96)×10⁹/L in the ITP1 group, which was lower than (10.23±1.21)×10⁹/L in the ITP2 group, but there was no significant between-group difference (t=1.697, P=0.097). Compared with the ITP2 group, the total number of megakaryocytes in the ITP1 group was significantly decreased (t=3.071, P < 0.01), and the ratio of granular megakaryocytes was significantly increased while the ratio of naked nuclear megakaryocytes was significantly decreased (P < 0.05); there were no significant differences in the ratios of immature and platelet-producing megakaryocytes between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Patients with ITP and positive ANA have a tendency of decreased PLT, and a more significant maturation disorder of bone marrow megakaryocytes, with a lower degree of megakaryocyte proliferation compared to patients without positive ANA. ANA may exacerbate the severity of ITP by aggravating the developmental disorder of bone marrow megakaryocytes.

Background Long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) may increase the risk of diabetes, and a healthy diet can effectively control fasting blood glucose levels. However, it is unclear whether dietary factors have a moderating effect on the risk of diabetes associated with atmospheric PM_2.5 exposure. Objective To investigate the association between long-term exposure to PM_2.5 and diabetes in rural areas of Ningxia, and potential interaction of long-term exposure to atmospheric PM_2.5 and diet on diabetes. Methods The study subjects were selected from the baseline survey data of the China Northwest Cohort-Ningxia (CNC-NX) , a natural population cohort. A total of 13917 subjects were included, excluding participants with missing covariate information. We utilized the annual average ambient PM_2.5 concentration from 2014 to 2018 as the long-term exposure level. Logistic regression and multiple linear regression were employed to analyze the associations of long-term atmospheric PM_2.5 exposure with diabetes and fasting blood glucose levels. Stratification by frequency of vegetable consumption, frequency of fruit consumption, and salty taste was used to examine moderating effects on the diabetes risk associated with atmospheric PM_2.5 exposure. Results The mean age of the 13917 subjects was (56.8±10.0) years, and the prevalence of diabetes was 9.8%. Between 2014 and 2018, the average annual concentration of PM_2.5 was (38.10±4.67) μg·m⁻³. The risk (OR) of diabetes was 1.018 (95%CI: 1.005, 1.032) and the fasting blood glucose was increased by 0.011 (95%CI: 0.004, 0.017) mmol·L⁻¹ for each 1 μg·m⁻³ increase in PM_2.5 concentration. Compared to those who consumed vegetables < 1 time per week, individuals who consume vegetables 1-3 times per week and ≥4 times per week had a reduced risk of developing diabetes by 27.1% (OR=0.729, 95%CI: 0.594, 0.893) and 16.8% (OR=0.832, 95%CI: 0.715, 0.971) respectively. Similarly, when compared to those who consumed fruits <1 time per week, individuals who consumed fruits 1-3 times per week and ≥4 times per week exhibited a reduced risk of diabetes by 16.4% (OR=0.836, 95%CI: 0.702, 0.998) and 18.2% (OR=0.818, 95%CI: 0.700, 0.959) respectively. Fasting blood glucose decreased by 0.202 (95%CI: -0.304, -0.101) mmol·L⁻¹ in participants who ate vegetables 1-3 times per week. The effect of salty taste on diabetes and fasting blood glucose was not significant. The results of stratified analysis by dietary factors and PM_2.5 concentration showed that the risks of diabetes were increased in the low PM_2.5 pollution-low vegetable intake frequency group and the high PM_2.5 pollution-low vegetable intake frequency group compared with the low PM_2.5 pollution-high vegetable intake frequency group, with OR values of 3.987 (95%CI: 2.943, 5.371) and 1.433 (95%CI: 1.143, 1.796) respectively. The risk of diabetes was 50.1% higher in participants with high PM_2.5 pollution and low fruit intake frequency than in participants with low PM_2.5 pollution and high fruit intake frequency (OR=1.501, 95%CI: 1.171, 1.926). No interaction was found between salty taste and PM_2.5 on diabetes. Conclusion Long-term exposure to ambient PM_2.5 is associated with an increased fasting blood glucose and an elevated risk of diabetes in rural Ningxia population. Increasing the frequency of weekly consumption of vegetables or fruits may have a certain protective effect against diabetes occurrence, as well as a moderating effect on diabetes and fasting blood glucose levels associated with long-term exposure to atmospheric PM_2.5.

Background The contribution of long-term ambient PM_2.5 exposure to hypertension should not be ignored. However, the conclusions of whether dietary factors play a role in regulating PM_2.5-related hypertension are still inconsistent. Objective To explore the correlation between long-term exposure to ambient PM_2.5 and blood pressure indicators (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and pulse pressure) in adults in Ningxia and a potential moderating effect of dietary factors. Methods A set of cross-sectional survey data from March, 2013 to May, 2018 was retrieved from the China Northwest Cohort-Ningxia, and the average ambient PM_2.5 concentration in the previous three years was also collected to estimate the long-term exposure of the participants. Binary logistic regression model was used to validate the correlation between long-term exposure to ambient PM_2.5 and hypertension in Ningxia, and linear model was used to study the correlation between long-term exposure to ambient PM_2.5 and blood pressure indicators (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure), and to explore the influence of dietary factors on ambient PM_2.5-related hypertension. Results A total of 11470 participants were included in the study, 42.2% male and 57.8% female. The three-year average ambient PM_2.5 concentration before the baseline survey was 37.0 μg·m⁻³. Each 1 μg·m⁻³ increase in ambient PM_2.5 was associated with an increased risk of hypertension (OR=1.111, 95%CI: 1.097, 1.125), and increased systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and pulse pressure by 0.886 (95%CI: 0.783, 0.990), 0.570 (95%CI: 0.500, 0.641), 0.676 (95%CI: 0.600, 0.751), and 0.316 (95%CI: 0.243, 0.389) mmHg, respectively. The stratified analysis showed that the OR and 95%CI of hypertension were 1.171 (1.097, 1.254), 1.117 (1.064, 1.174), and 1.160 (1.116, 1.207) respectively for each 1 μg·m⁻³ increased in PM_2.5 with low frequency of vegetable and fruit consumption and salty taste respectively. The OR and 95%CI of hypertension were decreased when the moderate and high frequency of vegetable and fruit intake and moderate and light taste applied, the values were 1.091 (1.062, 1.121) and 1.114 (1.097, 1.131), 1.105 (1.082, 1.129) and 1.111 (1.092, 1.13), 1.115 (1.090, 1.140) and 1.102 (1.083, 1.121) respectively. Compared with low frequency of vegetable and fruit intake and salty taste, the increase degree of ambient PM_2.5 related systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure also decreased in middle and high frequency of vegetable and fruit intake and moderate and light taste. Conclusion Long-term exposure to ambient PM_2.5 is significantly associated with increased risks of hypertension and blood pressure in Ningxia area. Increasing the frequency of vegetable and fruit intake and decreasing salty taste may reduce the effect of ambient PM_2.5 on hypertension and blood pressure.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often has an insidious onset, and most patients are in the advanced stage and have lost the best opportunity for treatment at the time of diagnosis, resulting in a poor prognosis. As a multifunctional transcription factor, Yin Yang 1 (YY1) regulates the transcription of a variety of important genes and plays a key role in various tumors. Previous studies have shown that YY1 affects many biological behaviors such as proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and angiogenesis and is closely associated with drug resistance and poor prognosis of HCC. This article reviews the research advances in the role of YY1 in the development and progression of HCC, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of HCC.

Objective:To investigate the awareness rate of " 1+ 1+ 1" contracted residents in the outer suburbs of Shanghai on the extended prescription policy of the family doctor contract service, and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:From March to May, 2021, the cluster random sampling method was used to select one community health service center in Fengxian district, Shanghai, and a smart voice telephone assistant survey was conducted among the contracted residents aged 18 and above in the area, to understand their awareness of the extended prescription policy. χ2 Test was used for single factor analysis on the influence of different factors on the policy awareness of the contracted residents, while a multivariate analysis was performed by binary logistic regression, presenting P<0.05 as statistically significant. Results:A total of 13 495 " 1+ 1+ 1" contracted residents were surveyed via phone calls. Their awareness rate of extended prescription policy was 67.5% (9 115/13 495), while those with higher awareness rates were patients with ≥2 chronic diseases (92.3%), patients with 1 chronic disease (88.5%) and those aged 81 and above (88.4%). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, marital status, the number of chronic diseases and signing duration were all independent factors influencing the awareness of extended prescription policy (all P<0.05), while whether the residents were key population groups presented no significant influence on the awareness of extended prescription policy ( P=0.431). Conclusions:The awareness rate of " 1+ 1+ 1" contracted residents in the outer suburbs of Shanghai to the extended prescription policy needs to be further improved and publicity should also be strengthened to extend the policy benefit coverage.

Aim To explore the protective effect of lo-ganin ( an active component in Cornus officinalis ) on podocyte injury induced by advanced glycation end products ( AGEs) and its possible mechanism. Meth-ods Mouse podocytes were cultured in vitro and di-vided into Normal group, model group ( AGEs group) , loganin group and aminoguanidine group ( set as posi-tive control) . After being incubated with loganin( final concentrations are 0. 1, 1, 10 μmol · L-1 ) for 1 h, podocytes were stimulated by AGEs of 100 mg · L-1 for 24 h. Then, the cell viability was measured by u-sing MTT method. Podocytes apoptosis was evaluated by Hoechst33342/PI staining and flow cytometry. Re-ceptors of advanced glycation end products ( RAGE ) ,desmin and apoptosis-related protein like Bax, Bcl-2, cleaved caspase-3 in podocytes were detected by Western blot. Results Loganin ameliorated podocyte injury induced by AGEs, down-regulated the expression of desmin and RAGE. Loganin also reduced the apoptotic rate of podocytes and decreased the ratio of Bax/ Bcl-2 and the expression of pro-apoptotic protein cleaved caspase-3 in podocytes. Conclusion Loganin could ameliorate podocyte injury, and its mechanism may be related to the decrease of the expression of RAGE and inhibition of the apoptotic pathway.
