Objective:
To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of dyslipidemia among residents in Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, so as to provide insights into improving prevention and control strategies of dyslipidemia.
Methods:
Permanent residents aged 35 to 75 years were recruited based on the Early Screening and Comprehensive Intervention Project for High-risk Populations of Cardiovascular Disease in Changzhou City from 2016 to 2023. Demographic information, body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were investigated through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests, and the prevalence of dyslipidemia were analyzed. Factors affecting dyslipidemia were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 22 447 residents were surveyed, including 9 142 males (40.73%) and 13 305 females (59.27%), and had a median age of 57.00 (interquartile range, 18.00) years. There were 7 535 cases of dyslipidemia, with a prevalence rate of 33.57%. The prevalence rates of low HDL-C, high TG, high TC, and high LDL-C were 22.27%, 15.89%, 4.06% and 2.27%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the residents who were male (OR=1.780, 95%CI: 1.645-1.924), had more than 50 000 yuan of annual household income (OR=1.215, 95%CI: 1.142-1.293), had higher educational level (junior high school/senior high school/technical secondary school, OR=1.138, 95%CI: 1.047-1.237; junior college and above, OR=1.232, 95%CI: 1.095-1.386), smoked frequently (OR=1.504, 95%CI: 1.369-1.653), were overweight (OR=1.763, 95%CI: 1.650-1.885) or obese (OR=2.351, 95%CI: 2.149-2.572), had hypertension (OR=1.478, 95%CI: 1.384-1.579) and diabetes (OR=1.706, 95%CI: 1.586-1.835) had a higher risk of dyslipidemia; while the residents who consumed alcohol at 4 times per week and more (OR=0.619, 95%CI: 0.557-0.688) had a lower risk of dyslipidemia.
Conclusions
The main types of dyslipidemia are low HDL-C and high TG among residents aged 35 years and above in Changzhou City. The prevalence of dyslipidemia is mainly associated with gender, annual household income, educational level, smoking, alcohol consumption, BMI, hypertension and diabetes.

Objective:To investigate the concern about pollen broadcasting in Chinese population from multiple dimensions and to understand the information about allergic rhinitis (AR) in China by analyzing related factors.Methods:From March 1 to September 30, 2022, a large-scale multi-center cross-sectional survey was conducted based on the Questionnaire Star platform in 21 Chinese hospitals. A total of 7 056 subjects from 7 regions in China: Northeast, North, East, Central, South, Southwest, and Northwest China were included. Basic characteristics (including social demographic characteristics and disease characteristics of AR patients), concern about pollen broadcasting, the willingness of pollen-induced AR (PiAR) patients to receive pollen broadcasting, and the treatment satisfaction rate of AR patients were collected. The chi-square test, multivariate linear regression model, and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the concern about pollen broadcasting in the Chinese population and related factors from multiple dimensions.Results:Among 7 056 subjects, 23.02% were concerned about pollen broadcasting. Among 3 176 self-reported AR and 1 019 PiAR patients, 25.60% and 39.16% were concerned about pollen broadcasting, respectively, which was higher than that of non-AR or non-PiAR subjects ( χ2 value was 21.74 and 175.11, respectively, both P<0.001). Among AR patients, the proportion of spring and autumn allergen-positive patients concerned about pollen broadcasting was higher than that in perennial allergen-positive patients ( χ2 value was 20.90 and 19.51, respectively, both P<0.001). The proportion of AR patients with asthma, sinusitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was higher than those without complications ( χ2 value was 50.83, 21.97, 56.78, 7.62, respectively, all P<0.05). The proportion of AR patients in North China who could find pollen broadcasting locally was 31.01%, significantly higher than those in other regions (all P<0.05). Multivariate linear regression model analysis showed that among PiAR patients, those with higher per capita household income and higher AR disease cognition levels had been concerned about pollen broadcasting in the past, and those complicated with allergic conjunctivitis had stronger intention to receive pollen broadcasting (B value was 0.24, 0.13, 0.66, 0.47, respectively, all P<0.05). The higher the disease cognition level of PiAR patients, the stronger their willingness to actively participate in treatment ( R2=0.72, P<0.001). Only 18.89% of AR patients felt satisfied with the treatment effect. Logistic regression analysis showed that in AR patients, the treatment satisfaction rate was significantly higher among those concerned about pollen broadcasting compared to those who were not ( OR=1.83, P<0.001). Conclusions:Currently, the dissemination of pollen broadcasting in China is hindered by various factors such as disease cognition level. The treatment satisfaction among AR patients remains unsatisfactory.

Objective To investigate the effect of self-made sickle-shaped small needle knife minimally invasive treatment on degree of pain and total cure rate in patients with stenosing tenosynovitis of flexor tendon of finger. Methods A total of 100 patients with stenosing tenosynovitis of flexor tendon of finger were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 50 cases in each group. The control group was treated with open surgery, while the observation group was treated with self-made sickle-shaped small needle knife minimally invasive treatment. The surgical indicators, degree of pain, inflammatory factors, incidence of complications, and total cure rate were compared between the two groups. Results The improvement of surgical indicators in the observation group was better than that in the control group; the score of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in both groups after surgery were lower than those before surgery, and the VAS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group at the time points of immediately after surgery, 7 days after surgery, and 6 months after surgery; the serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and tumor necrosis factor-

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of lipid ratios with diabetes and pre-diabetes in residents aged 35-75 years in Changzhou City. MethodsA multistage whole-group random sampling method was used to survey permanent residents aged 35-75 years in Tianning and Wujin districts of Changzhou City, and the study data were obtained by questionnaires, physical examination and laboratory tests. The relationship between lipid ratios and diabetes and pre-diabetes was analyzed by dichotomous logistic regression method. ResultsThe prevalence of diabetes in the surveyed population in Changzhou was 18.69%, and the prevalence of pre-diabetes was 10.53%. In the total population, the risk of pre-diabetes was significantly increased in the highest TC/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C groups, by 68%, 93% and 38%, respectively; the risk of diabetes was also significantly increased in the highest TC/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C groups, by 105%, 149% and 78%, respectively. The risk of diabetes was also significantly increased in the highest TC/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C groups, by 105%, 149% and 78%, respectively. All three lipid ratios increased in women compared to men, leading to a stronger association with increased risk of diabetes and pre-diabetes. ConclusionLipid ratios TC/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C, and LDL-C/HDL-C were correlated with the risk of diabetes and pre-diabetes in people aged 35-75 years, with TG/HDL-C having the strongest association with diabetes and pre-diabetes, and is expected to be a key predictor for assessing the development of diabetes.

Purpose:
Cavernous nerve injury induced erectile dysfunction (ED) is a refractory complication with high incidence in person under radical prostatectomy. Studies have shown that relaxin-2 (RLX-2) plays a vital role of endothelial protection, vasodilation, anti-fibrosis and neuroprotection in a variety of diseases. However, whether penile cavernous erection can benefit from RLX-2 remains unknown. The purpose of the experiment was to explore the effects of RLX-2 on ED in the rat suffering with bilateral cavernous nerve injury (BCNI).
Materials and Methods:
The rats were divided into three groups: Sham group was underwent sham operation, BCNI+RLX group or BCNI group was underwent bilateral cavernous nerve crush and then randomly treated with RLX-2 (0.4 mg/kg/d) or saline by continuous administration using a subcutaneously implanted micro pump for 4 weeks respectively. Then, erectile function was evaluated by electrical stimulation of cavernous nerves. Cavernous nerves and penile tissues and were collected for histological evaluation.
Results:
Erectile function of rats with BCNI was partially improved after RLX-2 treatment. The BCNI group had lower expression of relaxin family peptide receptor (RXFP) 1, p-AKT/AKT, p-eNOS/eNOS ratios than sham operation rats, but RLX-2 could partially reversed these changes. Histologically, the BCNI+RLX group had a significant effect on preservation of neurofilament, neuronal glial antigen 2 of penile tissue and nNOS of cavernous nerves when compared with BCNI group. RLX-2 could inhibited the lever of BCNI induced corporal fibrosis and apoptosis via regulating TGFβ1-Smad2/3-CTGF pathway and the expression of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, caspase3.
Conclusions
RLX-2 could improve erectile function of BCNI rats by protecting cavernous nerve and endothelial function and suppressing corporal fibrosis and apoptosis via RXFP1 and AKT/eNOS pathway. Our findings may provide a promising treatment for refractory BCNI induced ED.
