Objective:
To investigate cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention status among residents with intra-urban migration in Central China, so as to provide insights into targeted prevention and control of CVD.
Methods:
Basic data of residents aged 35 to 75 years who participated in Early Screening and Comprehensive Intervention Project for CVD high-risk populations in Central China from September 2015 to August 2020 were collected. According to birth place, type of registered residence and current residence, residents were divided into four groups: local residents in old urban area, local residents in new urban area, other urban migrants and other rural migrants. The status of CVD primary and secondary prevention, were analysed by using a robust Poisson regression model.
Results:
A total of 76 513 residents were recruited, including 29 420 males (38.45%) and 47 093 females (61.55%), and had a mean age of (56.36±9.84) years. There were 45 087 (58.93%) local residents in old urban area, 23 868 (31.19%) local residents in new urban area, 5 668 (7.41%) other urban migrants and 1 890 (2.47%) other rural migrants. After adjusting for variables such as age, gender and educational level, the results of robust Poisson regression analysis showed that compared with local residents in old urban area, local residents in new urban area had lower compliance rates of non- or moderate-drinking (RR=0.987, 95%CI: 0.975-1.000) and healthy diet (RR=0.535, 95%CI: 0.365-0.782), lower proportion of using aspirin as primary prevention in CVD high-risk population (RR=0.616, 95%CI: 0.511-0.741), lower awareness (RR=0.873, 95%CI: 0.782-0.974) and control rates (RR=0.730, 95%CI: 0.627-0.849) of hypertension; other urban migrants had higher compliance rate of non-smoking (RR=1.045, 95%CI: 1.017-1.075); other rural migrants had lower proportion of using aspirin as primary prevention in CVD high-risk population (RR=0.826, 95%CI: 0.707-0.966).
Conclusion
The CVD primaryprevention among local residents in new urban area is relatively poor among four groups of residents in Central China, and key interventions are needed.

Objective:To investigate the level of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), one of gut metabolites, in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) accompanied by congestive heart failure (HF) and its influencing factors.Methods:Those patients of 18-75 years old who received three or more times of hemodialysis sessions per week for three months or longer during Nov 2018 and Mar 2019 were enrolled. Those attended health checkup at the same time without obvious kidney abnormality served as non-kidney disease controls. Serum TMAO concentrations were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS). The levels of TMAO were compared between patients on hemodialysis and controls, between those with heart failure and without heart failure using logrithmically transformed TMAO (lnTMAO). Linear regression analysis was performed to investigate factors influencing TMAO levels.Results:A total of 195 patients undergoing MHD and 40 controls were enrolled. Among them, 30 hemodialysis cases (15.4%) manifested as heart failure symptoms and/or left ventricular ejection fraction less than 50%. Males accounted for 67.2% in patients on hemodialysis and 37.5% in controls ( χ2=12.426, P<0.001) respectively, while the median ages in both groups were 62.0(48.0, 71.0), 45.0(33.3, 55.0) years old respectively ( Z=5.685, P<0.001). TMAO concentrations were significantly higher in patients on hemodialysis than controls [5.54(3.84, 8.91) mg/L vs 0.17(0.11, 0.30) mg/L, after log transformed, t=21.687, P<0.001]. However, there was no statistically significant difference between those with heat failure and those without in male [63.3% vs 67.9%, χ2=0.238, P=0.626], age [64.5(56.8, 71.0) years old vs 61.0(47.0, 72.0) years old, Z=0.894, P=0.372] and TMAO [5.17(3.30, 9.46) mg/L vs 5.57(3.87, 8.95) mg/L, after log transformed, t=-1.537, P=0.135]. Multivariate linear regression analysis demonstrated that in all the participants, serum urea was the main risk factor for TMAO [standardized coefficient ( SB)=0.483]. lnTMAO=0.078×[serum urea(mmol/L)]+0.001×[serum creatinine (μmol/L)]-0.002×[serum uric acid (μmol/L)]-0.003×[platelet (×10 9/L)]+0.014×[age (years old)]+0.344 (if diabetic)-1.266. While in those undergoing MHD, ultrafiltration volume had the most significant effect on TMAO levels ( SB=0.279). lnTMAO=0.249×[ultrafiltration volume(L)]+0.059×[serum albumin (g/L)]+0.008×[age (years old)-0.526 (if heart failure existed)-1.865. Conclusions:MHD patients have gut dysbiosis, while those hemodialysis patients accompanied by heart failure may have peculiar gut microbiota which induces lower serum TMAO levels than those without heart failure after adjusting for multiple related factors. Serum TMAO levels may be associated with ultrafiltration volume and nutrition status etc.

BACKGROUND: Development of bone tissue engineering provides a new method to solve bone defect repair. Scaffold material and structure construction are issues of concern. OBJECTIVE: To fabricate a silk fibroin and hydroxyapatite scaffold with biomimetic interconnected macropores structure using the paraffin-sphere leaching technology and to evaluate its possibility of cytocompatibility. METHODS: The scaffold with biomimetic interconnected macropores structure was made by the paraffin-sphere leaching technology. The structure of scaffold was observed by the stereomicroscope and scanning electron microscope. The pore size and elasticity modulus were calculated. Passage 3 rabbit adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were seeded into the scaffold. The cell viability was detected by live/dead staining at 48 hours after culture. The cell adhesion was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining at 1 week of culture. The scaffold-cell composite was observed under scanning electron microscope at 3 days of culture. The cell proliferation was detected by the cell counting-kit 8 assay at 1, 3, 5 and 7 days of culture. Those cells cultured alone were considered as control group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Stereomicroscope showed the ivory silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite scaffold. Scanning electron microscope revealed pore structures in cross-section and longitudinal-section with good connectivity. The scaffold pore size was (362.23±26.52) μm and the elasticity modulus was (54.93±5.44) kPa. (2) Scanning electron microscope showed that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells adhered and stretched well in the pore wall and connected pore, secreted abundant extracellular matrix, and filled in the pores of silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite scaffold. (3) Hematoxylin-eosin staining results found that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells evenly adhered onto the inner wall of silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite scaffold, and proliferated well. (4) Live/dead staining revealed a good viability of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. (5) Cell counting-kit 8 assay results showed the good proliferation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells on the scaffold. (6) To conclude, the silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite scaffold possesses good pore size and cytocompatibility.
