Objective:
To establish a prediction model for high-risk cardiovascular disease (CVD) among residents aged 35 to 75 years, so as to provide the basis for improving CVD prevention and control measures.
Methods:
Permanent residents aged 35 to 75 years were selected from Dongcheng District, Beijing Municipality using the stratified random sampling method from 2018 to 2023. Demographic information, lifestyle, waist circumference and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests. Influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model, and a prediction model for high-risk CVD was established. The predictive effect was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results:
A total of 6 968 individuals were surveyed, including 2 821 males (40.49%) and 4 147 females (59.51%), and had a mean age of (59.92±9.33) years. There were 1 155 high-risk CVD population, with a detection rate of 16.58%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, central obesity, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the established prediction model was 0.849 (95%CI: 0.834-0.863), with a sensitivity of 0.693 and a specificity of 0.863, indicating good discrimination.
Conclusion
The model constructed by eight factors including demographic characteristics, lifestyle and blood biochemical indicators has good predictive value for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years.

BACKGROUND:During healing process of chronic wounds,excessive production of reactive oxygen species can impair the function of L929 fibroblasts,thereby delaying wound repair.Therefore,protecting fibroblasts from oxidative stress is important to promote wound healing. OBJECTIVE:To assess the protective effects of carboxymethyl chitosan-oxidized chondroitin sulfate/platelet-rich plasma(CMC-OCS/PRP)hydrogel on L929 cells under H2O2 stimulation. METHODS:CMC-OCS/PRP hydrogels were prepared,and the micromorphology,degradation performance,scavenging ability of H2O2 and hydroxyl radical and biocompatibility of the hydrogels were characterized.L929 cells with good growth state were taken and cultured in five groups.The control group was cultured conventionally.H2O2 was added to the H2O2 group.Carboxymethyl chitosan-oxidized chondroitin sulfate hydrogel extract+H2O2 was added to the CMC-OCS group.Platelet-rich plasma gel extract+H2O2 was added to the PRP group.The CMC-OCS/PRP group was treated with carboxymethyl chitosan-oxidized chondroitin sulfate/platelet-rich plasma hydrogel extract+H2O2.Each group was treated with hydrogel extract for 6 hours,and then H2O2 for 24 hours.After culture,the levels of active oxygen and malondialdehyde,apoptosis and expression of collagen fiber I protein were detected.In the presence of H2O2,the above hydrogel extracts were directly or indirectly co-cultured with L929 fibroblasts for 36 hours,respectively.Migration ability of the cells was detected by scratch test and Transwell chamber test. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)CMC-OCS/PRP hydrogels had uniform and interrelated porous structure and good degradation ability,could effectively remove H2O2 and hydroxyl radicals in vitro,and had good biocompatibility.(2)Compared with the control group,the apoptosis rate,reactive oxygen species,and malondialdehyde levels were increased(P<0.05);the spread area of cells was decreased(P<0.05),and the expression of collagen fiber I protein had no significant changes(P>0.05)in the H2O2 group.Compared with the H2O2 group,reactive oxygen species level was decreased in the CMC-OCS group(P<0.05),malondialdehyde level was decreased(P<0.05),and cell spread area was increased(P<0.05)in the PRP group,CMC-OCS group,and CMC-OCS/PRP group;apoptosis rate was decreased in the CMC-OCS/PRP group(P<0.05),and collagen fiber I protein expression was increased in the PRP group,CMC-OCS group,and CMC-OCS/PRP group(P<0.05).(3)Compared with the control group,the number of cell migration was decreased(P<0.05),and the migration area had no significant change(P>0.05)in the H2O2 group.Compared with the H2O2 group,the number and area of cell migration were increased in the PRP group,CMC-OCS group,and CMC-OCS/PRP group(P<0.05),and the increase was most significant in the CMC-OCS/PRP group.(4)Under oxidative stress,CMC-OCS/PRP hydrogel can improve the migration ability of fibroblasts,resist cell apoptosis,and preserve cell extension function.

Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and changing trends of non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behaviors among middle school students in Jiading District of Shanghai, from 2015 to 2023, so as to provide a basis for the development of NSSI prevention and control measures among students.
Methods:
Using a stratified cluster random sampling method, a total of five times for Shanghai Adolescent Health Risk Behavior Surveys were conducted for every two years in Jiading District of Shanghai from 2015 to 2023. A total of 5 231 middle school students from junior high schools and senior high schools were selected for questionnaire surveys. Intergroup comparisons were performed using the x 2 test or the χ 2 trend test, and the JointPoint 5.0 software was used to analyze the changing trends, with the annual percent change (APC) used for evaluation. A binary Logistic regression model was employed to analyze the related factors of NSSI behavior among middle school students.
Results:
In 2023, the reported NSSI rate among middle school students in Jiading District was 14.2%. The rate was significantly higher among junior high school students (17.1%) than that among senior high school students (11.1%), and higher among females (19.2%) than that among males (10.0%) ( χ 2=10.04, 23.21, both P <0.01). From 2015 to 2023, the overall reported NSSI rate showed an increasing trend, rising from 8.6% in 2015 to 14.2% in 2023 ( χ 2 trend =22.25), with an APC of 6.64% ( t =3.49), and the APC for girls was 9.79 % ( t =3.20) (all P <0.05). Among students reporting NSSI, the proportion experiencing ≥6 episodes increased from 10.8% in 2015 to 19.2% in 2023 ( χ 2 trend =6.57, P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that girls, junior high school students, those with insomnia, depressive emotion and drinkers had higher risks of NSSI, compared to boys, senior high school students, those without insomnia, non depressive emotion students and non drinkers ( OR =1.71, 1.96, 3.44, 4.76, 1.77, all P < 0.05 ).
Conclusions
The reported rate of NSSI among middle school students in Jiading District of Shanghai, increased annually from 2015 to 2023, and the proportion of repeated NSSI also showed an upward trend. Early intervention measures targeting middle school students, especially junior high school students and females, should be implemented to prevent and control its occurrence and development.

ObjectiveTo characterize the seasonal patterns of influenza in Kunming City, Yunnan Province before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, and provide scientific evidence for optimizing influenza prevention and control strategies. MethodsInfluenza-like illness (ILI) and etiological surveillance data for influenza from the 14th week of 2010 to the 13th week of 2024 in Kunming City of Yunnan Province were collected. Harmonic regression models were constructed to analyze the epidemic characteristics and seasonal patterns of influenza before (2010/2011‒2019/2020 influenza seasons), during (2020/2021‒2022/2023 influenza seasons), and after (2023/2024 influenza season) the COVID-19 pandemic. ResultsBefore the COVID-19 pandemic, influenza in Kunming City mainly exhibited an annual cyclic pattern without a significant semi-annual periodicity, peaking from December to February of the next year, with an epidemic duration of 20‒30 weeks. During the pandemic, influenza seasonality shifted, with an increase in semi-annual periodicity and an approximate one month delay in annual peaks. However, after the pandemic, the annual amplitude of influenza increased compared with that before the pandemic, and the epidemic duration extended by about one month. Although the annual peak largely reverted to the pre-pandemic levels, the annual peaks for different influenza subtypes/lineages had not fully recovered. ConclusionInfluenza seasonality in Kunming City underwent substantial alterations following the COVID-19 pandemic and has not yet fully reverted to pre-pandemic levels. Continuous surveillance on different subtypes/lineages of influenza viruses remains essential, and prevention and control strategies should be adjusted and optimized in a timely manner based on current epidemic trends.

Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor in the digestive system, ranking third in incidence and second in the cause of death worldwide. In recent years, the incidence of colorectal cancer is on the rise, and the age of patients with colorectal cancer tends to be younger, with a heavy cancer burden. It is of great significance to prevent the occurrence, development, recurrence, and metastasis of colorectal cancer to reduce the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer. Patriniae Herba has the effects of clearing heat, removing toxins, eliminating carbuncle, and discharging pus and shows good therapeutic efficacy on inflammatory bowel disease, digestive tract tumors, pelvic inflammation, gynecological tumor, and so on. Patriniae Herba is often used in the clinical treatment of colorectal cancer, but its mechanism of action is not clear. Modern studies have found that Patriniae Herba contains triterpenoids, saponins, iridoids, flavonoids, and other chemical components, with antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-bacterial, and other pharmacological effects. The main anti-tumor components of Patriniae Herba are flavonoids. The analysis of network pharmacology and the spectrum-effect relationship has suggested that quercetin, luteolin, apigenin, isoorientin, and isovitexin play a major role in inhibiting the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer. In vivo and in vitro studies have shown that flavonoids in Patriniae Herba can play an anti-tumor role in various ways, such as preventing precancerous lesions of colorectal cancer, inhibiting the growth and proliferation of cancer cells, blocking cancer cell cycle, promoting cancer cell apoptosis, and reversing drug resistance of colorectal cancer. The oral availability of flavonoids is low. The gut is the main metabolic site of flavonoids in the body, its metabolic pathway is closely related to gut microbiota. This paper reviewed the anti-tumor mechanism of flavonoids and their influence on gut microbiota to provide a reference for further research on the mechanism of Patriniae Herba against colorectal cancer and its clinical application.

Objective To analyze micronucleus abnormalities in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of industrial radiation workers and the influencing factors, and to provide a reference for radiation protection. Methods The occupational health monitoring data of 661 industrial radiation workers were collected from the occupational health examination system of Gansu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The abnormalities in the micronucleus of peripheral blood lymphocytes were analyzed. The influencing factors were identified by logistic regression. Results The micronucleus abnormality rate was 6.05% for the 661 industrial radiation workers. There was no significant difference in micronucleus abnormality rate between sexes (P > 0.05). Comparison of age groups showed that the rate of micronucleus abnormality increased with age, and workers over 50 years of age has the highest rate of micronucleus abnormalities (17.81%); there was a significant difference between age groups (P < 0.05). There was a significant difference in micronucleus abnormality rate between occupational categories (P < 0.05). There was a significant difference in micronucleus abnormality rate between groups with different years of work (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age and years of work were the risk factors for micronucleus abnormality rate (P < 0.05); age was an independent risk factor for micronucleus abnormality rate (P < 0.05). Conclusion The effect of low-dose ionizing radiation on micronucleus abnormality rate of industrial radiation workers is related to age and working years. Attention should be paid to occupational health monitoring of radiation workers, especially those with advanced age.

BACKGROUND:Diabetic wounds have complicated conditions such as infection,ischemia,peripheral neuropathy,and vascular disease.Ordinary hydrogel dressings with single structure and function cannot meet the needs of diabetic wound healing. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of a hydrogel loaded with platelet-rich plasma on wound healing of full-thickness skin defects in diabetic rats. METHODS:The blood of SD rats was extracted to prepare platelet-rich plasma.Carboxymethyl chitosan/oxychondroitin sulfate hydrogel and carboxymethyl chitosan/oxychondroitin sulfate hydrogel loaded with platelet-rich plasma were prepared separately.Streptozotocin was used to induce diabetes model in adult male SD rats.A round full-thickness skin wound with a diameter of 2 cm was made on the back of diabetic rats.The rats were randomly divided into four groups(n=10 per group).The blank group was applied with gauze on the wound.The hydrogel group,platelet-rich plasma group,and composite hydrogel group were respectively applied with the corresponding hydrogel,platelet-rich plasma and hydrogel loaded with platelet-rich plasma.The wound healing was observed within 20 days after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)On day 20 after treatment,the wound healing rate of the hydrogel group,platelet-rich plasma group and composite hydrogel group was significantly higher than that of the blank group(P<0.05).The wound healing rate of the composite hydrogel group was significantly higher than that of the platelet-rich plasma group(P<0.05).(2)The results of hematoxylin-eosin staining on day 5 after treatment showed that compared with the blank group,hydrogel group and platelet-rich plasma group,there were a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration,new granulation tissue and capillary formation in the wound tissue of the composite hydrogel group.(3)On day 5 after treatment,the results of immunohistochemical staining and western blot assay showed that the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 1β in wound tissue in the composite hydrogel group were significantly lower than those in the blank group,hydrogel group and platelet-rich plasma group(P<0.05).(4)Masson staining results on day 15 after treatment showed that compared with the blank group,hydrogel group and platelet-rich plasma group,there were more collagen fibers in the wound tissue of the composite hydrogel group,which were orderly,evenly distributed and dense.(5)CD31 immunofluorescence staining showed that on day 15 after treatment,the expression of CD31 in wound tissue of the composite hydrogel group was significantly higher than that of the blank group,hydrogel group and platelet-rich plasma group(P<0.05).(6)These results suggest that the hydrogel loaded with platelet-rich plasma can promote the healing of full-thickness skin defect wounds in diabetic rats by promoting granulation tissue,collagen fiber and angiogenesis,and reducing the inflammatory response.

ObjectiveBased on non-targeted metabolomics, to analyze the regulation of endogenous differential metabolites in serum of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) rats by Fuling Yunhua granules, and to clarify the metabolic pathways through which this granules exerted its effect on improving T2DM. MethodSeventy SD rats, half male and half female, were randomly divided into the control group, model group, and high, medium, low dose groups of Fuling Yunhua granules(20.70, 10.35, 5.18 g·kg-1 in raw drug amount) and the positive drug group(pioglitazone hydrochloride tablets, 8.1 mg·kg-1). Except for the control group, other groups were fed with high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ) to establish a T2DM rat model. After successful modeling, the treatment groups were administered the corresponding drugs by gavage, and the control group and model group were treated with an equal volume of saline by gavage, once/d, for 28 d. Fasting blood glucose(FBG) and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c(GHbA1c) levels were measured in all groups of rats during the administration period, and hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the pathomorphological changes in the pancreatic tissues of rats at the end of the administration period. The endogenous metabolite levels in rat serum were detected by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry(UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS), and the data were processed using principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA). Differential metabolites were identified by the Human Metabolome Database(HMDB) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG), and screened for differential metabolites with variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1, P<0.05, and fold change(FC)<0.6 or FC>1. And the metabolic pathway enrichment analysis of the screened differential metabolites was performed by MetaboAnalyst 5.0, then the screened differential metabolites were diagnosed and evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves. ResultCompared with the control group, the FBG level of rats in the model group increased significantly(P<0.01), the GHbA1c content tended to increase, but the difference was not statistically significant, and the pancreatic tissue of rats was obviously damaged, the number of pancreatic islets decreased, and the pancreatic β-cells were obviously reduced, atrophied and enlarged. Compared with the model group, the FBG levels of rats in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules and the positive drug group were significantly reduced after 2 weeks of administration(P<0.05, P<0.01), the GHbA1c content of rats in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules was significantly reduced(P<0.05), and the pancreatic tissue lesions of rats in the different dose groups of Fuling Yunhua granules were reduced. The results of non-targeted metabolomics showed that 46 differential metabolites were significantly changed in the model group compared with the blank group. Pathway enrichment analysis found that T2DM mainly affected biological processes including biosynthesis of primary bile acid, D-amino acid metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and glycerophospholipid metabolism in rats. Compared with the model group, the levels of 8 differential metabolites in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules were significantly adjusted, and the pathway enrichment analysis found that D-amino acid metabolism, retinol metabolism, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, tryptophan metabolism and other metabolic pathways were mainly involved. ROC curves further analysis revealed that the four characteristic differential markers of 11-cis-retinol, D-piperidinic acid, D-serine, and p-cresol sulfate had high diagnostic value for the treatment of T2DM with Fuling Yunhua granules. ConclusionFuling Yunhua granules can improve the symptoms of T2DM rats by regulating the amino acid metabolic and retinol metabolic pathways through the modulation of endogenous differential metabolites.

ObjectiveTo adapt the Stanford Expectations of Treatment Scale(SETS) into Chinese(C-SETS) and test the feasibility, validity and reliability of its application in patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome(IBS-D) with liver-constraint and spleen-deficiency syndrome treated with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). MethodsWe obtained authorisation from the developer of the SETS, and followed the principle of "two-way translation" to translate the SETS by literal translation and back translation to form the C-SETS. Ninety-six IBS-D patients with liver-constraint and spleen-deficiency syndrome were enrolled as respondents and filled out C-SETS before receiving treatment; the feasibility was assessed by the recall rate, completion rate and the duration of filling out the scale; the reliability was assessed by Cronbach's α; the structural validity was assessed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and the content validity was assessed by correlation analysis. ResultsThe C-SETS consists of 10 items, with the 1st, 3rd, and 5th rating items constituting the Positive Expectations subscale, and the 2nd, 4th, and 6th rating items constituting the Negative Expectations subscale, each of which is rated on a 7-point Likert Scale. The recall of C-SETS was 100%(96/96), the completion rate was 89.58%(86/96); Cronbach's α for the Positive and Negative Treatment Expectations subscales were 0.845 and 0.854, respectively; exploratory factor analysis showed that the coefficient of commonality for all six entries was larger than 0.4, and that the six entries could be used by both factors to explain 77.092% of the total variance; validation factor analysis showed that the goodness-of-fit index, comparative fit index, root mean square of approximation error, canonical fit coefficient, and chi-square degrees of freedom ratio took the values of 0.943, 1.003, 0, 0.943, and 0.626, respectively; and the results of Spearman's analysis suggested that the C-SETS had good content validity. ConclusionThe C-SETS has well feasibility, reliability, and validity, which initially proves that it can be used as a tool to assess the treatment expectation of patients with IBS-D with liver-constraint and spleen-deficiency syndrome before receiving TCM treatment.
