Background With China's socioeconomic development, significant lifestyle changes have occurred among occupational groups, leading to alterations in cardiovascular metabolic risk factors. However, few studies have examined the secular trends of these risk factors in China's working population. Objective To analyze the trends in cardiovascular metabolic risk factors among the occupational population in nine provinces of China from 2009 to 2018, and to explore the associations between different occupational types and these risk factors, along with their clustering patterns, thereby providing evidence for targeted interventions. Methods This study utilized data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) in 2009, 2015, and 2018. The dataset covered 13274 employed individuals aged 18-59 years. Only participants with complete blood test results and physical measurement data were included in the final analysis. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) in the positive rates of risk factors was calculated using Joinpoint regression to analyze temporal trends. Multinomial logistic regression and binary logistic regression models were employed to examine the cross-sectional associations between occupational types (categorized as white-collar workers, agricultural workers, blue-collar workers, service workers, and others) and nine cardiovascular metabolic risk factors and their clustering (defined as having ≥2 risk factors) in 2018. Results A total of 8451 participants were included. From 2009 to 2018, significant increasing trends (AAPC>0, P<0.05) were observed for overweight, obesity, central obesity, borderline elevated triglycerides (TG), borderline elevated to elevated total cholesterol (TC), borderline elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), elevated blood pressure and hypertension, diabetes. The most rapid increases were found for obesity (AAPC=6.07%, 95%CI: 3.42%, 8.88%), hypertension (AAPC=4.10%, 95%CI: 0.62%, 7.77%), and central obesity (AAPC=3.27%, 95%CI: 1.24%, 5.36%). The clustering rate of risk factors increased from 62.3% in 2009 to 73.2% in 2018 (AAPC=1.87%, 95%CI: 1.02%, 2.73%). The cross-sectional analysis in 2018, after adjusting for confounders, showed that compared with white-collar workers, blue-collar workers had a significantly lower risk of overweight (OR=0.67, 95%CI: 0.48, 0.95), central obesity (OR=0.65, 95%CI: 0.45, 0.92), and borderline high TG (OR=0.54, 95%CI: 0.35, 0.82). In contrast, agricultural workers had a higher risk of hypertension (OR=1.76, 95%CI: 1.14, 2.72). Conclusion Between 2009 and 2015, the burden of most cardiometabolic risk factors increases significantly among the Chinese occupational population, with the rate of increase slowing by 2018. Risks vary across occupational types, among which blue- collar workers report lower target outcomes. Targeted interventions focusing on the rapidly increasing risk factors and high-risk occupational groups are recommended.

BACKGROUND:Promoting skin wound healing is a huge challenge facing global public health.To promote faster and higher-quality wound healing,it is necessary to explore more advantageous dressings to address this problem.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the hemostatic properties of acellular dermal matrix hydrogel and its effect on skin wound healing.METHODS:(1)Acellular dermal matrix hydrogel was prepared,and the differences in microscopic morphology and main components between it and acellular dermal matrix were analyzed.(2)Acellular dermal matrix hydrogel and chitosan hydrogel were used to cover the femoral artery puncture site of rats,and the bleeding quality and coagulation time were recorded.Acellular dermal matrix hydrogel and chitosan hydrogel were mixed with rat anticoagulated blood,and the coagulation index within 30 minutes was detected.(3)A full-thickness skin defect model with a diameter of 12 mm was made on the back of 18 SD rats,and they were randomly divided into 3 groups,with 6 rats in each group:the model group used PBS to clean the wound,and the control group and the experimental group used chitosan hydrogel and acellular dermal matrix hydrogel to cover the wound,respectively.The hydrogel dressing was changed every day,and the treatment was continued for 14 days,and the wound healing was observed.On day 3 after modeling,immunofluorescence staining of inducible nitric oxide synthase(M1 macrophages)and CD206(M2 macrophages)was performed on the wound surface.On day 14 after modeling,hematoxylin-eosin staining,Masson staining,and CD31 immunohistochemical staining were performed on the wound surface.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the acellular dermal matrix hydrogel had a porous structure,and the Fourier transform infrared spectrum showed that it had the same main components as the acellular dermal matrix.(2)Both acellular dermal matrix hydrogel and chitosan hydrogel had obvious hemostatic ability in vivo.In the in vitro coagulation experiments,the coagulation index of acellular dermal matrix hydrogel was significantly higher than that of chitosan hydrogel.(3)In the rat skin full-thickness defect model,both acellular dermal matrix hydrogel and chitosan hydrogel could improve the wound healing rate.Hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining results showed that acellular dermal matrix hydrogel could reduce the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the center of the wound.Both acellular dermal matrix hydrogel and chitosan hydrogel could decrease scar width and increase collagen deposition rate.CD31 immunohistochemical staining results showed that both hydrogels could promote angiogenesis in the wound site.Immunofluorescence staining results showed that both hydrogels could reduce the proportion of M1 macrophages and increase the proportion of M2 macrophages,and the effect of acellular dermal matrix hydrogel was stronger than that of chitosan hydrogel.(4)The results show that the acellular dermal matrix hydrogel has good hemostatic properties and the ability to promote wound healing.

Objective: To investigate the urban and rural differences in adverse outcomes of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis-diabetes mellitus comorbidity (PTB-DM), so as to provide insights into improving the prevention and treatment measures for PTB-DM. Methods: Patients with PTB-DM who were admitted and discharged from 14 designated tuberculosis hospitals in Hangzhou City from 2018 to 2022 were selected. Basic information, and history of diagnosis and treatment were collected through hospital information systems. The adverse outcomes of PTB were defined as endpoints, and the proportions of adverse outcomes of PTB in urban and rural patients with PTB-DM were analyzed. Factors affecting the adverse outcomes of PTB were identified using a multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression model. Results: A total of 823 patients with PTB-DM were enrolled, including 354 (43.01%) urban and 469 (56.99%) rural patients. There were 112 (13.61%) patients with adverse outcomes of PTB. The proportions of adverse outcomes of PTB in urban and rural patients were 14.41% and 13.01%, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis identified first diagnosed in county-level hospitals or above (HR=2.107, 95%CI: 1.181-3.758) and drug resistance (HR=3.303, 95%CI: 1.653-6.600) as the risk factors for adverse outcomes of PTB in urban patients with PTB-DM, while the treatment/observed management throughout the process (HR=0.470, 95%CI: 0.274-0.803) and fixed-dose combinations throughout the process (HR=0.331, 95%CI: 0.151-0.729) as the protective factors for adverse outcomes in rural patients with PTB-DM. Conclusions There are differences in influencing factors for adverse outcomes of PTB in urban and rural patients with PTB-DM. The adverse outcomes of PTB are associated with first diagnosed hospitals and drug resistance in urban patients, and are associated with the treatment/observed management and fixed-dose combinations throughout the process in rural patients.

Background: The transvenous approach to the treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is difficult and requires strict blood pressure and blood flow control; however, the cure rate is very high. Appropriate blood pressure control techniques can greatly benefit these patients.Case: A 55-year-old male patient was found to have an aneurysm complicated with a cerebral AVM (length: 2.0 cm, width: 1.6 cm, height: 1.2 cm). Aneurysm embolization was considered for the first-stage surgery and transvenous AVM embolization for the second-stage surgery. Rapid ventricular pacing (RVP) provided a stable blood flow environment for the surgery, which was completed successfully. Conclusion RVP can thus provide an ideal condition for the embolization of cerebral AVM through the transvenous approach and can be a viable surgical option.

This review aims to analyze the current applications of open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and robotic surgery in the treatment of colorectal cancer, particularly in elderly patients.It compares the differences among these three surgical methods in terms of surgical indicators, as well as short-term and long-term outcomes.Studies have shown that laparoscopic surgery has become the standard treatment for colorectal cancer, resulting in fewer postoperative complications and faster recovery times.While robotic surgery offers advantages in surgical precision and maneuverability, it is associated with longer surgical times and higher costs.For elderly patients, laparoscopic surgery has demonstrated fewer surgical complications and shorter hospital stays, with no significant difference in long-term survival rates compared to open surgery.However, there is limited research on the application of robotic surgery in elderly patients.Future studies should involve larger-scale, multi-centre randomized controlled trials to provide higher-level evidence and scientific guidance for the individualized treatment of elderly colorectal cancer patients.

Objective:To adapt and validate the Chinese version of the Supervisory Relationship Questionnaire(SRQ)and evaluate its psychometric properties among supervisees.Methods:Item analysis,exploratory factor anal-ysis(EFA)and confirmatory factor analysis(CFA)were conducted on data from 888 supervisees recruited via on-line platform.Test-retest reliability over a four-week interval was examined in a randomly selected subset of 70 su-pervisees.An additional sample of 367 supervisees completed the Supervisory Relationship Scale(SRS)to evaluate criterion validity.Results:The revised SRQ contained 65 items and 6 factors.Both exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis supported six-factor structure(safe base,structure,commitment,reflective education,role model and formative feedback),explaining 66.52％of the variance,with factor loadings of the items ranging from 0.58 to 0.83.The revised SRQ had six factors with good fit indices(x2/df=1.31,GFI=0.81,NFI=0.87,CFI=0.97,TLI=0.90,IFI=0.91,RMSEA=0.03,SRMR=0.05).The scores of the revised SRQ were positively correlated with the scores of SRS(ICC=0.96,P＜0.01).The Cronbach α coefficient of the revised SRQ was 0.97,and the test-retest reliability coefficient(ICC)was 0.74.Conclusion:The SRQ-C demonstrates sound psy-chometric properties,including structural validity,criterion-related validity,internal consistency,and temporal stabil-ity.It is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing supervisory relationships from the supervisee perspective.

Objective To explore the objective facial appearance characteristics of patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods From April 7,2019 to December 1,2022,313 patients with CHD were recruited from Dongzhimen Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,Dongfang Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,and the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine,together with 293 healthy controls.Standardized facial images were obtained using the tongue-face diagnostic instrument.The face was divided into six regions:the forehead,left cheek,right cheek,nose,lips,and chin.Nine color parameters were extracted from each region,including red(R),green(G),blue(B),hue(H),saturation(S),value(V),lightness(L),red-green axis(a),and yellow-blue axis(b).Comparisons between groups were performed.Results Compared with the healthy group,in the forehead region,values of R,S,V,a,and b were higher in the coronary heart disease group,whereas B was lower(P<0.05);in the left cheek,nose,and chin regions,R,G,B,V,and L decreased,whereas S,a,and b increased(P<0.05);in the right cheek region,R,G,B,H,V,and L decreased,while S,a,and b increased(P<0.05);in the lips region,R,G,B,H,V,L,and a decreased,whereas S and b increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with healthy individuals,patients with CHD present with a darker,more saturated facial complexion with reduced brightness,overall manifesting as"dark red complexion"and"dense but not bright color,"suggesting the pathogenesis of qi and blood circulation stagnation and internal blood stasis retention.The objective expression of facial features may have greater application value in syndrome differentiation and auxiliary diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine.
