Objective: To understand the current situation and related factors of tobacco use among high school students in Shannan City, so as to provide reference for tobacco control strategies for high school students. Methods: A self administered questionnaire survey was conducted among 10 052 high school students from 6 high schools in Shannan City, Tibetan Autonomous Region by census methods from April to July in 2023. The comparison of rates was conducted by using Chi square test, and the influencing factors of tobacco use among high school students were analyzed using binomial classification Logistic regression. Results: The rate of high school students in Shannan City trying cigarettes was 17.63%, and the current smoking rate was 10.07%, both of which were higher in boys than girls, and higher in urban areas than in rural areas ( χ 2 gender = 1 262.35 , 869.79; χ 2 area =35.90, 29.16, P <0.01). The smoking rate of students with parents and good friends smoking was higher than that of students with parents and good friends not smoking( χ 2= 190.50 ,1 741.44), and the current smoking rate showed an upward trend with age and age ( χ 2 trend =74.87, 122.86)( P <0.01). The tobacco dependence rate was 41.80%; 75.30% wanted to quit smoking, 83.99% had received smoking cessation assistance, but had received less professional smoking cessation assistance ( 13.41 %). Logistic regression analysis showed that vocational high school students, senior students (second and third grade), parents smoking (both smoking, mother smoking), and good friends smoking (some smoking, most smoking, all smoking) were positively correlated with smoking cigarettes among high school students ( OR=1.51, 1.54, 2.17, 2.22, 1.69, 5.30, 13.28, 8.59, P <0.05). Conclusions The smoking rate of high school students in Shannan City is high and second hand smoke exposure is common. Vocational high schools are the key to prevention and control. Effective cooperation between families, schools, and society should be strengthened to create a smoke free environment and protect students from tobacco hazards.

Objective:To examine the risk factors and predictive value of depression following mild acute ischemic stroke in elderly individuals.The aim is to enhance early identification and intervention, ultimately leading to improved prognosis.Methods:A case-control study was conducted on 988 elderly patients with mild acute ischemic stroke.The study collected general population and social data, as well as clinical laboratory data such as blood glucose, blood lipids, and AD7C-NTP in urine.Additionally, the patients underwent assessments using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale(MoCA), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NHISS), Barthel index(BI), Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA), and Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD).Based on the HAMD depression scale score, the patients were divided into a nopost-stooke depression(NPSD)group and a post-stooke depression(PSD)group.The study then analyzed the related risk factors and predictive value of PSD.Results:A total of 988 patients were eligible for inclusion, with 132 being excluded and 856 being included.The NPSD and PSD groups showed significant differences in age, hypertension, smoking history, education level, and stroke history(all P<0.05).Regarding clinical data, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in total cholesterol(TC), triacylglycerol(TG), HDL, urinary AD7C-NTP, MoCA, and HAMA scores(all P<0.05).The results of the multi-factor logistic regression analysis revealed that gender( OR=1.975, 95% CI: 1.223-3.190, P=0.005), stroke history( OR=1.352, 95% CI: 0.877-2.086, P=0.042), and HAMA score( OR=1.216, 95% CI: 0.932-1.526, P=0.043)were identified as independent risk factors for post-stroke depression in the elderly.Conversely, MoCA score( OR=0.873, 95% CI: 0.814-0.937, P<0.001)was found to be an independent protective factor.Furthermore, the ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the HAMA score(AUC=0.892, sensitivity: 0.721, specificity: 0.854, cut-off value: 9.5)exhibited significant predictive value, while the other indexes had limited predictive value. Conclusions:Gender, stroke history, and HAMA score have been identified as potential independent risk factors for post-stroke depression(PSD)in the elderly, while MoCA score may serve as an independent protective factor.Notably, HAMA score demonstrates a strong predictive ability for PSD.Early identification of these factors and timely intervention could significantly contribute to improving prognosis.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the level of N-terminal pro-Brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)and cardiorespiratory fitness following acute exposure to high altitude.Methods Forty-six subjects were recruited from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University in June 2022,including 19 males and 27 females.After completing cardiopulmonary exercise test(CPET),serological detection of myocardial cell-related markers,and multiple metabolites at a plain altitude(300 meters above sea level),all subjects flew to a high-altitude location(3900 meters above sea level).Biomarker testing and CPET were repeated on the second and third days after arrival at high altitude.Changes in serum biomarker and key CPET indicators before and after rapid ascent to high altitude were compared,and the correlation between serum levels of various myocardial cell-related markers and metabolites and high altitude cardiorespiratory fitness was analyzed.Results Compared with the plain altitude,there was a significant decrease in maximal oxygen uptake after rapid ascent to high altitude[(25.41±6.20)ml/(kg.min)vs.(30.17±5.01)ml/(kg.min),P<0.001].Serum levels of NT-proBNP,Epinephrine(E),plasma renin activity(PRA),angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ),angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2)and leptin(LEP)significantly increased,with all differences being statistically significant(P<0.05)after acute high altitude exposure.In contrast,no statistically significant differences were observed for creatine kinase MB(CK-MB),cardiac troponin I(cTnI),myoglobin(Myo)and norepinephrine(NE)(P>0.05).Correlation analysis showed a significant negative correlation between NT-proBNP at plain altitude(r=-0.768,P<0.001)and at high altitude(r=-0.791,P<0.001)with maximal oxygen uptake at high altitude.Multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that maximal oxygen uptake at plain altitude(t=2.069,P=0.045),NT-proBNP at plain altitude(t=-2.436,P=0.020)and at high altitude(t=-3.578,P=0.001)were independent influencing factors of cardiorespiratory fitness at high altitude.Conclusion Cardiorespiratory fitness significantly decreases after rapid ascent to high altitude,and the baseline NT-proBNP level at plain altitude is closely related to cardiorespiratory fitness at high altitude,making it a potential predictor indicator for high altitude cardiorespiratory fitness.

Objectives:To investigate the effect of cardiac rehabilitation exercise guided by cardiopulmonary exercise test on cardiopulmonary function, cardiopulmonary endurance and activities of daily living in patients who had coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:Seventy patients who had coronary heart disease after PCI treated in the Wenzhou Central Hospital from July 2022 to May 2023 were enrolled perspectively (3 cases eventually dropped out of the study), and they were divided into the control group (33 cases) and the rehabilitation group (34 cases) by random number table method. The control group was given conventional medication after PCI, while the rehabilitation group was additionally provided with exercise rehabilitation for 12 weeks on the basis of the control group. The patient′s cardiopulmonary function indicators, cardiopulmonary endurance indicators and ability of daily living(ADL) score of the two groups were compared before and after treatment.Results:After treatment for 12 weeks, the cardiopulmonary function indicators left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), left atrial inner diameter (LAD), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV 1), ratio of FEV 1 to forced expiratory volume (FVC) (FEV 1/FVC), maximum ventilation quantity (MVV) in the rehabilitation group were obviously improved compared with the control group: (102.8 ± 14.4) ml vs. (114.8 ± 20.4) ml, (39.9 ± 13.7) ml vs. (48.4 ± 16.9) ml, (37.1 ± 3.4) mm vs. (38.9 ± 3.6) mm, (50.3 ± 3.6) mm vs. (52.5 ± 4.7) mm, (64.0 ± 6.8)% vs. (59.6 ± 6.5)%, (2.39 ± 0.38) L vs. (2.10 ± 0.26) L, (77.7 ± 4.0)% vs. (73.8 ± 4.3)%, (101.6 ± 18.7) L/min vs. (89.6 ± 11.1) L/min, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment for 12 weeks, the cardiopulmonary endurance indicators peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak), peak oxygen uptake per kilogram of body weight (VO 2peak/kg), anaerobic threshold (AT), peak metabolic equivalent (METspeak), maximum working load (MWL) in the rehabilitation group were obviously improved compared with the control group: (1 441.8 ± 251.9) ml/min vs. (1 272.5 ± 207.0) ml/min, (20.7 ± 3.6) ml/(min·kg) vs. (18.2 ± 2.5) ml/(min·kg), (1 346.8 ± 201.3) ml/min vs. (1 075.4 ± 176.7) ml/min, (5.9 ± 1.1) Met vs. (5.2 ± 0.7) Met, (107.3 ± 29.1) Watt vs. (88.4 ± 17.8)Watt, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment for 12 weeks, the ADL scores in the rehabilitation group was higher than that in the control group: (90.9 ± 8.1) scores vs. (85.6 ± 11.6) scores, there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Carrying out cardiac rehabilitation exercise guided by cardiopulmonary exercise test can significantly enhance the cardiopulmonary function, cardiopulmonary endurance and self-care ability in patients who had accepted PCI for coronary heart disease.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Qingxuan Zhike granules in improving cough symptoms and shortening the course of influenza (wind-heat invading lung) in children.Methods:In this multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial, a total of 240 outpatient influenza patients from 7 hospitals, including the First Affiliated Hospital of Yunnan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, from April 2023 to December 2023 were collected.The subjects were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group via SAS software using the block randomization method.The differences between two groups were compared with t test, corrected t test and χ2 test.Subjects in the control group were given Oseltamivir phosphate granules, orally, twice a day (weight ≤15 kg, 30 mg/time; weight >15-23 kg, 45 mg/time; weight >23-40 kg, 60 mg/time; weight >40 kg, 75 mg/time; age≥13 years, 75 mg/time).In addition to Oseltamivir phosphate granules, subjects in the experimental group were also given Qingxuan Zhike granules, orally, 3 times a day (1-3 years old, 1/2 bag each time; >3-6 years old, 3/4 bag each time; >6-14 years old, 1 bag each time).After 5 days of treatment, the medication was suspended for 2 days.The effect of cough, antipyretic effect, clinical recovery rate, clinical recovery time, Canadian Acute Respiratory Illness and Flu Scale (CARIFS) score, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome effect, complication rate, and adverse reactions were evaluated between the two groups. Results:Finally, 232 cases were included in the study, including 115 cases in the experimental group and 117 cases in the control group.Before and after treatment, there were no significant difference in CARIFS cough score between the experimental group and the control group (all P>0.05).After treatment, the change in CARIFS cough score in the experimental group [(-1.00±0.91) scores]was significantly higher than that in the control group [(-0.75±0.98) scores] ( t=-1.995, P=0.047).After treatment, the change in TCM syndrome cough score in the experimental group [(-1.69±1.51) scores] was significantly higher than that in the control group [(-0.97±1.63) scores] ( t′=-0.035, P=0.001).The time of complete regression of fever in the experimental group [(44.82±22.72) h] was shorter than that in the control group [(51.35±27.07) h], and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=-1.966, P=0.050).The fever score showed that the area under the curve between the CARIFS symptom fever score and time in the experimental group was 4.40±2.42, while that in the control group was 5.12±2.44, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=-2.252, P=0.025).The clinical recovery rate was 93.91%(108/115) in the experimental group and 92.31%(108/117) in the control group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.233, P>0.05).The clinical recovery time in the experimental group [(2.93±1.21) d] was shorter than that in the control group [(3.29±1.15) d], and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=-2.279, P=0.024).After treatment, there was a significant difference in TCM syndrome score variation between the experimental group [(-12.00±4.13) scores] and the control group [(-10.85±4.31) scores] ( t′=-2.067, P=0.040).No complication occurred in both groups, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups ( χ2=1.299, P>0.05). Conclusions:Qingxuan Zhike granules combined with Oseltamivir phosphate can effectively improve the cough symptoms associated with influenza in children, shorten the time and course of fever, and improve the TCM syndrome score; thus, they are safe in clinical application.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of thromboelastography(TEG)parameters in conjunction with platelet count(PLT)for guiding platelet transfusion in critically ill patients with fever associated with thrombocytopenia syndrome(SFTS).Methods Sixty-two critically ill patients with fever and thrombocytopenia syndrome were selected from the infection department of a hospital.They were divided into two groups:the bleeding group(n=30)and non-bleeding group(n=32).Changes in relevant indices,such as PLT and TEG,were com-pared between the two groups using t-test,chi-square test or non-parametric test.Binary logistic regression was employed to analyze factors predicting bleeding in critically ill patients.The efficacy of these indices in predicting bleeding was assessed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve,determining opti-mal cut-off values,and comparing PLT levels with mortality rates using chi-square test after grouping based on MA cut-off value.Results First of all,the MA value and PLT were significantly lower in bleeding patients compared to non-bleeding patients(P<0.05),while the K value and PT were significantly higher in bleeding patients(P<0.05).Second of all,logistic regression analysis revealed that both MA value and PLT were significant influencing factors for hemorrhage in patients(P<0.05).Third of all,ROC analysis demonstrated that the area under the curve for PLT was 0.884,while for MA it was 0.890(P<0.05).Among these,PLT exhibited the highest specificity and MA value had the highest sensitivity,with a best cut-off value of 48.85 mm for MA.The combined index of K,MA,and PLT yielded an area under the curve of 0.941 and a Youden index of 0.77,which were higher than those obtained from individual indices.Finally,Rank sum test and Fisher exact test indicated that individuals with an MA value<48.85 mm had lower PLT levels and higher mortality rates(P<0.05).Conclusion The integration of TEG and PLT demonstrates significant potential in predicting bleeding events among critically ill patients with SFTS,thereby offering valuable clinical implications for guiding prophylactic platelet transfusion in this patient population.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for cognitive impairment 3 months after an ischemic stroke and their predictive value.Methods:A retrospective case-control study considered the records of 856 elderly patients who had survived an ischemic stroke. All had been evaluated using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale (MoCA). They were divided according to their MoCA scores into a group without cognitive impairment (the PSNCI group) and an impaired (PSCI) group. The subjects′ demographic and clinical laboratory data were compiled. All had been assessed using the National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS), the Barthel Index (BI), and the Hamilton depression scale (HAMD). Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were evaluated and a receiver operator characteristics (ROC) curve was computed.Results:There were significant differences between the two groups in terms of gender distribution, age, hypertension and heart disease history, family history of dementia and education level. Moreover, significant differences were observed in the groups′ average total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), urinary neurofilament protein (AD7c-NTP), NIHSS scores, BIs and ADL scores. Logistic regression showed that a history of heart disease, urinary AD7C-NTP level and HAMD score were significant independent predictors of cognitive impairment 3 months after a stroke. A high BI was an independent protective factor. The area under the ROC curve for urinary AD7C-NTP was the largest (0.875) and had significant predictive value with a cut-off value of 2.43, sensitivity of 0.94 and specificity of 0.75.Conclusion:Age, sex, education, smoking, drinking, body mass index, a history of heart disease or stroke, a family history of dementia and elevated AD7C-NTP, TC or TG are risk factors for cognitive impairment after a stroke. A high BI suggests a better prognosis. Urinary AD7c-NTP is a useful predictor of PSCI 3 months after a stroke.

Objective    To evaluate the safety and efficacy of peripheral cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in patients with reoperation of congenital heart disease. Methods    The perioperative data of patients with congenital heart disease who underwent reoperation in Fuwai Hospital from 2019 to 2020 were retrospectively collected. They were divided into two groups according to the cannulation methods: a central group and a peripheral group. The prognosis of the patients was analyzed. Results     A total of 80 patients were collected, including 43 patients in the central group, and 37 pateints in the peripheral group. In the central group, the median age was 18 (14, 32) years, and 21 patients were male. The median age of the peripheral group was 16 (10, 27 ) years, and 18 patients were male. The CPB time in the peripheral group was 201 (164, 230) min, which was longer than that in the central group [143 (97, 188 ) min, P<0.001]. The lactate after CPB in the peripheral group was statistically higher than that in the central group [2 (1, 2 ) mmol/L vs. 1 (1, 1) mmol/L, P=0.002]. The dosage of albumin use during CPB in the peripheral group was statistically higher than that in the central group [10 (0, 20) g vs. 0 (0, 0) g, P=0.004]. There was no statistical difference in the postoperative dosage of red blood cells use [0 (0, 2) U vs. 0 (0, 0) U, P=0.117], mechanical ventilation time [14 (11, 19) h vs. 13 (10, 15) h, P=0.296], ICU stay time [43 (23, 80) h vs. 40 (20, 67) h, P=0.237] or postoperative hospital stay time [10 (7, 12) d vs. 8 (7, 10) d, P=778] between the two groups. Conclusion    It’s safe and efficient to establish CPB through peripheral cannulation in patients with complex congenital heart disease undergoing reoperation.
