Objective To investigate the effect of diet and lifestyle on cardiovascular comorbidity in elderly diabetic patients in community. Methods A total of 437 elderly patients with diabetes mellitus in a community of Huai'an City were divided into comorbidity group and non-comorbidity group according to the presence or absence of cardiovascular comorbidity. Dietary and lifestyle data were collected by self-designed questionnaires. The differences between the two groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of comorbidity of diabetes mellitus with cardiovascular disease. Results Among the surveyed patients, 184 (42.11%) had at least one comorbidity of cardiovascular disease, with the most common diseases being hypertension in 93 patients (21.28%), coronary heart disease in 71 patients (16.25%), and stroke in 42 patients (9.61%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that: the risk of comorbidity in the male group was 1.528 times higher than that in the female group; the risk of comorbidity among individuals with inadequate carbohydrate intake was 1.520 times higher than that of individuals with adequate carbohydrate intake; the risk of comorbidity in the group with smoking history > 30 years was 1.299 times higher than that in the group ≤ 30 years; the risk of comorbidity was 49.80% lower in the group with tea preference than that in the group without tea preference; and the risk of comorbidity in the group not meeting the standard for exercise was 1.492 times higher than that in the group meeting the standard for exercise. All these differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The comorbidity of cardiovascular disease in elderly diabetic patients in community should not be ignored, and targeted dietary and lifestyle interventions are helpful for the prevention and control of comorbidity.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and influencing factors among vegetable greenhouse workers, so as to provide insights into relevant intervention measurements.
Methods:
Workers from 4 vegetable greenhouse villages were sampled in the suburbs of Xining City using a cluster sampling method from March to April 2023. Participants' demographic information, characteristics of greenhouse operation and prevalence of WMSDs were collected using questionnaire surveys. Factors affecting the prevalence of WMSDs among vegetable greenhouse workers were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 550 questionnaires were distributed, and 518 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective response rate of 94.18%. There were 264 males (50.97%) and 254 females (49.03%), and 269 participants (51.93%) aged 50 years and older. The prevalence of WMSDs among vegetable greenhouse workers was 40.93% (212 cases). Waist, neck and back were mainly affected, with 185 (35.71%), 157 (30.31%), and 153 (29.54%) cases, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that workers who smoke (OR=2.406, 95%CI: 1.133-5.110), worked 8 hours and longer per day (OR=6.618, 95%CI: 3.492-12.542) and lift heavy loads of about 20 kg (OR=1.770, 95%CI: 1.013-3.092) had a higher risk of WMSDs.
Conclusions
WMSDs occurred in 40.93% of vegetable greenhouse workers in Xining City, and waist, neck and back were mainly affected. Smoking, working duration and lifting heavy loads may influence the prevalence of WMSDs among vegetable greenhouse workers in Xining City.

Objective To investigate feasibility and preliminary oncological safety of surgical innovations in breast cancer patients who have undergone nipple-skin-sparing mastectomy (NSSM) for nipple discharge or central lesions and tumors that do not involve the nipple-areola skin. Methods Between May 2018 and November 2023, patients diagnosed with breast cancer presenting nipple discharge or lesions in the central area underwent NSSM. The imaging assessment revealed no involvement of the nipple-areola-skin by the tumor. We performed a surgical removal of the affected mammary duct and simultaneously made a circular incision measuring 3-4 mm in diameter at the apex of the nipple. The study also involved the collection of clinical data, early complications, oncological outcomes and conducting aesthetic analysis of the nipple using the BREAST-Q scale. Results The surgical procedure was conducted on a cohort of 39 female patients at age of 27-57(39.0±7.6) years. The postoperative pathological stages of breast cancer were distributed as follows: stage 0 in 2 patients (5.1%), stageⅠ in 1 patients (2.6%), ⅡA stage in 15 patients (38.5%), ⅡB stage in 21 patients (53.8%). Tumor type: simple carcinoma in situ in 5 patients (12.8%), invasive carcinoma in 14 patients (35.9%), including invasive carcinoma with carcinoma in situ in 20 patients (51.3%). During the median follow-up period of 15.0 (2-66) months, 3 patients (7.7%) developed decolorization caused by mild nipple ischemia; there was no nipple necrosis; 1 patient (2.6%) failed nipple reconstruction (no milk column, the milk column disappeared due to external dressing compression after operation). There were no incision complications, subcutaneous emphysema or intramammary hematoma in all patients. Two patients (5.1%) underwent prosthesis removal and nipple areola excess skin resection because of prosthesis cavity infection and final exposure caused by debridement, dressing change, redrainage and so on. As of April 2024, no tumor recurrence or metastasis was found during the follow-up period. The satisfaction of patients with nipple was 97.4% according to BREAST-Q score. Conclusion The satisfaction of breast cancer patients diagnosed with nipple discharge or lesions in the central area, but without involvement of the nipple areola skin, and who underwent subcutaneous mastectomy with immediate reconstruction is significantly enhanced. Furthermore, there is no increased risk of tumor recurrence or metastasis in short-term.

The study of children who experienced with febrile seizures(FS) as a result of COVID-19 infection to gain
insight into the clinical characteristics and prognosis of neurological damage, with the aim of improving
prevention, diagnosis, and the treatment of neurological complications. This study investigated the
clinical features of 53 children with FS who were admitted to Sanya Women and Children’s Hospital
from December 1, 2022, to January 31, 2023. The results indicated that the duration of convulsion in
the case and control group was 7.90±8.91 and 2.67±1.23 (minutes) respectively. The analysis reveals
that convulsions occurred within 24 hours in 39 cases (95.12%) of the case group, and in 8 cases
(66.7%) of the control group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Additionally, the case
group presented lower counts of WBC and NEU compared to the control group (p<0.05). The findings
indicate that convulsions manifest at earlier stages of COVID-19 in children and the last longer than
in the control group. It is therefore crucial for healthcare workers to remain attentive to patients with
COVID-19 who report fever within 24 hours, and act promptly to implement preventive measures,
particularly in cases of prolonged fever. It is essential to integrate the clinical manifestation, particularly
convulsions, and the continuous numerical changes of inflammatory factors to assess COVID-19 linked
with febrile seizures. In addition, larger-scale multi-center and systematic research are necessary to
aid clinicians in monitoring neuropathological signals and biological targets, enabling more equitable
diagnosis and treatment plans.

To expand the single-dose duration over which noninvasive clinical and preclinical cancer imaging can be conducted with high sensitivity, and well-defined spatial and temporal resolutions, a facile strategy to prepare ultrasmall nanoparticulate X-ray contrast media (nano-XRCM) as dual-modality imaging agents for positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) has been established. Synthesized from controlled copolymerization of triiodobenzoyl ethyl acrylate and oligo(ethylene oxide) acrylate monomers, the amphiphilic statistical iodocopolymers (ICPs) could directly dissolve in water to afford thermodynamically stable solutions with high aqueous iodine concentrations (>140 mg iodine/mL water) and comparable viscosities to conventional small molecule XRCM. The formation of ultrasmall iodinated nanoparticles with hydrodynamic diameters of ca. 10 nm in water was confirmed by dynamic and static light scattering techniques. In a breast cancer mouse model, in vivo biodistribution studies revealed that the 64Cu-chelator-functionalized iodinated nano-XRCM exhibited extended blood residency and higher tumor accumulation compared to typical small molecule imaging agents. PET/CT imaging of tumor over 3 days showed good correlation between PET and CT signals, while CT imaging allowed continuous observation of tumor retention even after 10 days post-injection, enabling longitudinal monitoring of tumor retention for imaging or potentially therapeutic effect after a single administration of nano-XRCM.

The mechanisms underlying autophagic defects in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remain largely unknown. We aimed to elucidate the roles of hepatic cyclooxygenase 1 (COX1) in autophagy and the pathogenesis of diet-induced steatohepatitis in mice. Human nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) liver samples were used to examine the protein expression of COX1 and the level of autophagy. Cox1Δhepa mice and their wildtype littermates were generated and fed with 3 different NASH models. We found that hepatic COX1 expression was increased in patients with NASH and diet-induced NASH mice models accompanied by impaired autophagy. COX1 was required for basal autophagy in hepatocytes and liver specific COX1 deletion exacerbated steatohepatitis by inhibiting autophagy. Mechanistically, COX1 directly interacted with WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 2 (WIPI2), which was crucial for autophagosome maturation. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated rescue of WIPI2 reversed the impaired autophagic flux and improved NASH phenotypes in Cox1Δhepa mice, indicating that COX1 deletion-mediated steatohepatitis was partially dependent on WIPI2-mediated autophagy. In conclusion, we demonstrated a novel role of COX1 in hepatic autophagy that protected against NASH by interacting with WIPI2. Targeting the COX1-WIPI2 axis may be a novel therapeutic strategy for NASH.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies and a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Surgery remains the primary and most successful therapy option for the treatment of early- and mid-stage HCCs, but the high heterogeneity of HCC renders prognostic prediction challenging. The construction of relevant prognostic models helps to stratify the prognosis of surgically treated patients and guide personalized clinical decision-making, thereby improving patient survival rates. Currently, the prognostic assessment of HCC is based on several commonly used staging systems, such as Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM), Cancer of the Liver Italian Program (CLIP), and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC). Given the insufficiency of these staging systems and the aim to improve the accuracy of prognostic prediction, researchers have incorporated further prognostic factors, such as microvascular infiltration, and proposed some new prognostic models for HCC. To provide insights into the prospects of clinical oncology research, this review describes the commonly used HCC staging systems and new models proposed in recent years.
