Objective To understand the characteristics and temporal trends of stroke incidence in the household population of Shanghai39;s Qingpu District and to provide a basis for the development of comprehensive prevention and control strategies. Methods The stroke case database for Qingpu District from 2017-2022 was obtained from the Shanghai Stroke and Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry and Reporting Information System. The average age of onset, incidence rate, standardised incidence rate, and constitutive ratio were calculated. Independent samples t-tests were used for comparisons between groups, 2-tests and 2-trend tests for comparisons of rates, and the Joinpoint regression model for calculating the annual percentage change (APC) to analyse the temporal trend of rates. Results Between 2017 and 2022, the average age of stroke onset in the household population of Shanghai39;s Qingpu District was 73.69±11.60 years. The average annual incidence rate was 556.62/100 000, with an average annual standardised incidence rate of 333.76/100000. There was an increasing trend in the incidence and standardised incidence of stroke in males (APC=7.06%, t=3.44, P=0.03, APC=5.32%, t=3.04, P=0.04). The incidence of stroke increases with age, with cases mainly concentrated in those aged 65 years and above, accounting for 79.47%. Ischemic stroke dominates the stroke typology, accounting for 91.08% of cases, while the incidence of hemorrhagic stroke shows an increasing trend (APC=4.64%, t=4.59, P=0.01). Conclusion The occurrence of stroke in the general population of Shanghai’s Qingpu District is concerning. The study indicates that males, individuals aged 65 years and above, and ischaemic stroke are significant factors that require attention for stroke prevention and control.

International Eye Science 2022;22(5):752-756
AIM:To investigate the factors associated with short-term elevation of intraocular pressure(IOP)after conbercept intravitreal injection.
METHODS:This study was a clinical prospective observational study. It enrolled in 269 eyes of 269 patients who were diagnosed retinopathy, and all patients receive conbercept intravitreal injection. Among them, 143 were males and 126 were females. There were 201 cases of age-related macular degeneration(ARMD)and 68 cases of other retinopathy patients. The mean age was 62.86±11.74 years. Non-contact pneumatic tonometer was used to measure the IOP of the patients before, 10, 30min, 2 and 4h after injection. The group was divided according to the IOP elevation 10min after injection. The IOP elevation 10 mmHg and above was defined as the IOP elevation group, and the IOP elevation less than 10 mmHg was defined as the IOP stable group. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the differences between the two groups.
RESULTS:The average IOP of patients at 10, 30min, 2 and 4h after injection was 24.1, 20.2, 19.5 and 16.9 mmHg, respectively. The average IOP at each time point after injection was 6.7, 3.1, 1.7 and 0.5 mmHg higher than that before injection. Among them, 56 cases of increased IOP, 213 cases of stable IOP. There were no significant differences in age, best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), gender, eye side and disease type between two groups(all P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the number of injection(Z=-4.389, P=0.012), IOP before injection and IOP at each time point after injection(t=-5.343, -10.467, -8.933, -6.124, -4.635, all P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that baseline IOP was positively correlated with IOP increase 10min after injection(B=-0.913, OR=0.521, 95%CI: 0.211-0.694, P=0.011).
CONCLUSION: The higher the baseline IOP, the higher risk of elevated IOP after injection. The factor associated with a short-term increase in IOP after intravitreal injection of conbercept was baseline IOP. The number of injection may be another risk factor.

Objective: To explore the protective effects of anthrahydroquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AH 2 QDS) on the kidneys of paraquat (PQ) poisoned rats via the apelin-APJ pathway. Methods: Male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four experimental groups: control, PQ, PQ+sivelestat, and PQ+AH 2 QDS. The PQ+sivelestat group served as the positive control group. The model of poisoning was established via intragastric treatment with a 20% PQ pesticide solution at 200 mg/kg. Two hours after poisoning, the PQ+sivelestat group was treated with sivelestat, while the PQ+AH 2 QDS group was given AH 2 QDS. Six rats were selected from each group on the first, third, and seventh days after poisoning and dissected after anesthesia. The PQ content of the kidneys was measured using the sodium disulfite method. Hematoxylin-eosin staining of renal tissues was performed to detect pathological changes. Apelin expression in the renal tissues was detected using immunofluorescence. Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of the following proteins in the kidney tissues: IL-6, TNF-α, apelin-APJ (the apelin-Angiotensin receptor), NF-κB p65, caspase-1, caspase-8, glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), and the C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). In in vitro study, a PQ toxicity model was established using human tubular epithelial cells treated with standard PQ. Twenty-four hours after poisoning, sivelestat and AH 2 QDS were administered. The levels of oxidative stress in human renal tubular epithelial cells were assessed using a reactive oxygen species fluorescence probe. Results: The PQ content in the kidney tissues of the PQ group was higher than that of the PQ+AH 2 QDS group. Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed extensive hemorrhage and congestion in the renal parenchyma of the PQ group. Vacuolar degeneration of the renal tubule epithelial cells, deposition of crescent-like red staining material in renal follicles, infiltration by a few inflammatory cells, and a small number of cast formation were also observed. However, these pathological changes were less severe in the PQ+sivelestat group and the PQ+AH 2 QDS group (P<0.05). On the third day after poisoning, immunofluorescence assay showed that the level of apelin in the renal tissues was significantly higher in the PQ+AH 2 QDS group than in the PQ group. Western blotting analysis results showed that IL-6, TNF-α, NF-κB p65, caspase-1, caspase-8, GRP78, and CHOP protein levels in the PQ group were higher than in the PQ+AH 2 QDS group (P<0.05). The expression of apelin-APJ proteins in the PQ+AH 2 QDS group was higher than in the PQ+sivelestat and PQ groups (P<0.05); this difference was significant on Day 3 and Day 7. The level of oxidative stress in the renal tubular epithelial cells of the PQ+AH 2 QDS group and the PQ+sivelestat group was significantly lower than in the PQ group (P<0.05). Conclusions: This study confirms that AH 2 QDS has a protective effect on PQ-poisoned kidneys and its positive effect is superior to that of sivelestat. The mechanism of the protective effects of AH 2 QDS may be linked to reduction in cellular oxidative stress, PQ content of renal tissue, inflammatory injury, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and apoptosis. AH 2 QDS may play a role in the treatment of PQ poisoning by upregulating the expression of the apelin-APJ.
