Objective To analyze the prevalence status of cardiometabolic risk factor (CMRF) and its aggregation among workers engaged in new forms of employment. Methods A total of 5 429 new employment workers (including couriers, online food delivery workers, and ride hailing drivers) who underwent health medical examinations at a tertiary hospital in Beijing City were selected as the research subjects using the judgment sampling method. Data on waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipid levels were collected to analyze their CMRF [central obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, elevated triglycerides, and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] and their aggregation (with ≥ 2 of the above 5 risk factors) status. Results The detection rates of central obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, elevated triglycerides, and reduced HDL-C were 61.2%, 38.2%, 29.5%, 40.9% and 22.6%, respectively. The detection rates of CMRF aggregation was 57.8%. The result of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that male, age ≥45 years, smoking, overweight, and obesity were risk factors for CMRF aggregation (all P<0.05). Conclusion The detection rate of CMRF and its aggregation among workers with new forms of employment in Beijing City is relatively high. Targeted prevention and control efforts should be strengthened for high-risk populations, especially males, workers aged ≥45 years, smokers, and those who are overweight or obese.

This article reported a patient who initially presented with insomnia complaints and was subsequently diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on polysomnography (PSG). The patient tried continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)but gave up because wear the ventilator made it more difficult to fall asleep. Then the patient only received group cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which not only alleviated insomnia severity but also promoted severe OSA into mild status. Such case suggested that, firstly, due to the high comorbidity of insomnia and OSA, evaluation of OSA should be considered a part worth enough attention of the clinical diagnosis and treatment of insomnia patients. Secondly, by relieving insomnia, CBT-I can alleviate both nocturnal apnea and daytime somnolence in patients with comorbid insomnia and sleep apnoea (COMISA), so the application of CBT-I should be emphasized in the treatment of such patients.

Objective This study aimed to explore the relationships between residential greenness and cardiometabolic risk factors among rural adults in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region(Xinjiang)and thus provide a theoretical basis and data support for improving the health of residents in this region. Methods We recruited 9,723 adult rural residents from the 51st Regiment of the Third Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in September 2016.The normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)was used to estimate residential greenness.The generalized linear mixed model(GLMM)was used to examine the association between residential greenness and cardiometabolic risk factors. Results Higher residential greenness was associated with lower cardiometabolic risk factor prevalence.After adjustments were made for age,sex,education,and marital status,for each interquartile range(IQR)increase of NDVI500-m,the risk of hypertension was reduced by 10.3%(OR=0.897,95%CI=0.836-0.962),the risk of obesity by 20.5%(OR=0.795,95%CI=0.695-0.910),the risk of type 2 diabetes by 15.1%(OR=0.849,95%CI=0.740-0.974),and the risk of dyslipidemia by 10.5%(OR=0.895,95%CI=0.825-0.971).Risk factor aggregation was reduced by 20.4%(OR=0.796,95%CI=0.716-0.885)for the same.Stratified analysis showed that NDVI500-m was associated more strongly with hypertension,dyslipidemia,and risk factor aggregation among male participants.The association of NDVI500-m with type 2 diabetes was stronger among participants with a higher education level.PM10 and physical activity mediated 1.9%-9.2%of the associations between NDVI500-m and obesity,dyslipidemia,and risk factor aggregation. Conclusion Higher residential greenness has a protective effect against cardiometabolic risk factors among rural residents in Xinjiang.Increasing the area of green space around residences is an effective measure to reduce the burden of cardiometabolic-related diseases among rural residents in Xinjiang.

Objective:To establish a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) humanized mouse model for hepatoblastoma in children. In addition, compare the biological consistency between successfully modeled PDX tumors and primary tumors in children while comparing and analyzing the influence of PDX model modeling success as a key factor.Methods:A PDX tumor model was constructed from fresh tumor tissue samples from 39 children with hepatoblastoma. The tumor growth time and volume size were recorded in detail. Simultaneously, 39 children’s data were collected for experimental and clinical analysis. The difference in tumorigenesis rate between different parameters was analyzed by χ2 test (categorical variable). Continuous variables with a normal distribution were compared using the t-test. Results:After cell passage and pathological diagnosis, 21 cases of hepatoblastoma PDX models were successfully constructed, with a success rate of 53.8% (21/39). Tumor samples from each generation of successfully modeled PDX models had pathology results that were consistent with those of the corresponding primary tumors. The analysis of the key factors affecting the tumor formation rate of PDX revealed that the metastasis rate was more successful in primary tumors than in liver in situ tumors (7/8 vs. 14/31, P = 0.049). However, there was no significant difference between tumor formation rates and pathological subtypes. According to the PDX tumor formation group comparison between the primary tumor and the metastatic tumor, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of tumor formation time and tumor volume. Hematoxylin-eosin staining in hepatoblastoma’s PDX mouse was consistent with the primary tumor. Immunohistochemistry positivity rates of four proteins, namely hepatocyte antigen (Hepatocyte), phosphatidylinositol glycan 3, β-catenin, and alpha-fetoprotein, in primary tumor tissues and PDX mouse models were 100% vs. 100%, 100% vs. 95.24%, 100% vs. 100%, and 95.24% vs. 85.71%, respectively. Conclusion:A PDX mouse model for hepatoblastoma has been successfully established in children. The tumor formation rate is high, with metastatic tumors having a higher tumor formation rate than primary tumors and transplanted tumors retaining the biological characteristics of primary tumors.

Objective:
To identify the independent risk factors of esophageal varices (EV) in cirrhosis by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), and further to establish a risk assessment model for predicting EV occurrence and evaluate the clinical predictive value of the model.
Methods:
A retrospective cohort study was used in this study. Data of patients with cirrhosis without varicosity, who were hospitalized in Tianjin Second People's Hospital from September 2014 to March 2017 were collected. The location, diameter, and number of esophageal collateral circulation were measured by EUS. The non-selective beta blocker (NSBB) medication history and antiviral therapy were recorded. The time of the first EUS examination was taken as the starting point and the follow-up period was set up as 18 months. The end point was the occurrence of EV or the end of follow-up. The independent risk factors of EV occurrence were determined by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis, and the risk assessment model of EV occurrence was constructed. The predictive value of evaluation model for disease was studied by ROC analysis. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit was used to test the fitting efficiency of the evaluation model.
Results:
A total of 638 subjects were recruited initially, 13 of them were lost in the course of the study. Finally, 625 cases were included in the study. Among them, 369 cases did not develop EV (the non-progress group) and 256 cases developed EV (the progress group). (1) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that 7 independent risk factors were selected into the risk assessment model of EV occurrence, and were assigned corresponding scores: no NSBB (3 points), no antiviral treatment (2 points), Child-Pugh stage B (1 point), the diameter of peri-ECV>2 mm (1 point), the number of peri-ECV≥5 (3 points), the diameter of para-ECV≥5 mm (4 points), and the number of para-ECV≥5 (4 points). (2) In the risk assessment model, the risk factor scores ranged from 1 to 4 with a total score of 0-18. The predicted incidence of EV increased from 0.003 to 1.000 with the increase of the score. (3) In the risk assessment model, the total risk score ≤2 was assigned into low-risk group, 3-5 into medium-risk group, and ≥6 into high-risk group. The actual EV incidence of each risk stratification was 2.78% in the low-risk group, 36.36% in the medium-risk group and 93.91% in the high-risk group, respectively. (4) The ROC analysis showed that area under curve (AUC) was 0.947 (

Objective To explore the regulation and effect factors of arsenic expose and arsenic methylation level, then to provide a reference for study the function of arsenic metabolism in a arsenic poisoning process. Methods A meta-analysis was performed by two researchers. Twenty-five papers satisfying our priori eligibility criteria were included by searching Cochrane library, Pubmed, Springer, Embase and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Based on the results of heterogeneity, a random or fixed effects model was chosen for the meta-analysis. Results The results showed that the following arsenic metabolites increased (all P<0.01) following arsenic exposure: inorganic arsenic [iAs; standardized mean difference (SMD): 1.07; 95% confidence interval (CI):0.61 - 1.53)], monomethyl arsenic (MMA; SMD: 1.10; 95% CI: 0.81 - 1.40), dimethyl arsenic (DMA; SMD: 2.50;95%CI:1.50-3.69), and total arsenic (TAs, SMD:3.10;95%CI:2.13-4.07). Additionally, the percentages of iAs (iAs%; SMD: 1.00; 95% CI: 0.60 - 1.40) and MMA (MMA%; SMD: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.21 - 0.77) also increased, while the percentage of DMA (DMA%; SMD: - 0.55; 95% CI: - 0.80 - - 0.31) decreased (P<0.01). The primary methylation index (PMI; SMD: - 0.57; 95% CI: - 0.94 - - 0.20), and secondary methylation index (SMI;SMD: - 0.27; 95% CI: - 0.46 - - 0.09) decreased (all P< 0.01). Compared to female, male had higher MMA%(SMD:0.44;95%CI:0.35-0.52), lower DMA%(SMD:-0.33;95%CI:-0.38--0.28) and SMI (SMD:-0.36;95%CI:-0.53--0.19). The smoker had higher MMA%(SMD: 0.22; 95%CI: 0.07 - 0.37) and lower DMA%(SMD:-0.16;95%CI: - 0.26 - - 0.05). The drinker had higher MMA% (SMD: 0.17; 95% CI: 0.07 - 0.27) and lower DMA%(SMD:-0.24;95%CI:-0.39--0.10). The older people had higher MMA%(SMD:-0.23;95%CI:-0.40--0.06). In addition, the body mass index may influence the percentages of MMA (SMD: - 0.18; 95% CI: - 0.31 - - 0.04, P < 0.01). Conclusion Arsenic exposure, smoking, drinking, and older age can reduce the capacity of arsenic methylation. Arsenic methylation is more efficient in women than in men.
