Objective:To compare the predictive values of the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk scores, the Controlled Abciximab and Device Investigation to Lower Late Angioplasty Complications (CADILLAC) trial scores, and the Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) scores for major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 80 STEMI patients diagnosed at the Affiliated People's Hospital of Ningbo University from January 2018 to January 2022, all of whom received percutaneous coronary intervention. The patients were followed up for 1-15 months with a median time of 7.5 months. MACEs, mainly including target vessel reconstruction, recurrent myocardial infarction, new heart failure, malignant arrhythmia, and cardiac death, were recorded.Results:Of the 80 patients, MACEs occurred in 18 cases (22.5%, 18/80) after percutaneous coronary intervention. Univariate analysis found that patients in the MACEs group had an increase in age, multiple vessel lesions, stent implantation length, peak and duration of troponin I, and total ischemia time > 6 hours, which were significantly different from those in the non-MACEs group ( P < 0.05). The MACEs group showed a significant increase in GRACE score [(136.5 ± 30.4) scores], modified CADILLAC score [(11.2 ± 3.4) score], and TIMI score [(5.7 ± 1.5) scores] at 7 days after surgery. The percentage of patients with GRACE score high-risk [12/18 (66.67%)], CADILLAC score high-risk [13/18 (72.22%)], and TIMI score high-risk [11/18 (61.11%)] increased significantly ( χ2 = 23.22, 21.35, 24.42, all P < 0.05). Increasing age, total ischemia time > 6 hours, GRACE score high-risk, CADILLAC score high-risk and TIMI score high-risk were all independent risk factors for MACEs at 1-year follow-up in STEMI patients ( HR values were 1.079, 2.037, 3.562, 3.421, and 3.236, respectively). The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the area under the curve of GRACE score high-risk, CADILLAC score high-risk, and TIMI score high-risk for predicting MACEs were 0.816, 0.823 and 0.803 respectively, with no statistically significant differences ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:The use of GRACE score, modified CADILLAC score, and TIMI score after percutaneous coronary intervention in STEMI patients has predictive value for major cardiac adverse events after percutaneous coronary intervention, and all three scores have good accuracy in predicting the risk of MACEs at 1-year follow-up.

Objective To analyze the relationship between dietary and lifestyle inflammatory scores and metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, tumor and other common metabolic diseases, and to explore the impact of dietary and lifestyle inflammatory potential on metabolic diseases, so as to provide new ideas for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of metabolic diseases. Methods Databases such as CNKI, Wanfang , and PubMed were searched, and literatures related to the dietary and lifestyle inflammatory scores (DLIS) and metabolic diseases were reviewed . Results Seven articles showed that dietary and lifestyle inflammation scores had a positive correlation with metabolic diseases, and two articles showed that only lifestyle inflammatory scores had a positive correlation with metabolic diseases. Conclusion Dietary and lifestyle inflammatory scores may be positively correlated with metabolic diseases, but some results are still controversial. Further studies are needed to prove the correlation between DLIS and metabolic diseases.

Globally, gynecological malignancies are common types of female cancer and the main cause of cancer death among women. Cervical cancer, endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer, which are the main types of gynecological cancers, pose a significant threat to women's health worldwide. Studies have shown that diet plays an important role in the occurrence and development of gynecological cancers such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer, for which added sugar may be an influencing factor due to its food source characteristic and related biological effect. However, this paper reviewed the research progress on the relationship between consumption of added sugar and gynecological cancers such as endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer and cervical cancer, with a view to providing a reference for the active prevention of gynecological cancer.

Ovarian cancer is characterized by insidious onset and poor prognosis, and among gynecological malignancies, its mortality rate ranks first, which poses a serious threat to women's health worldwide. In recent years, increasing evidence has suggested that modifiable lifestyle factors, particularly dietary factors, played important roles in the prognosis of ovarian cancer. As important nutrients, dietary fats and fatty acids can affect various vital physiological functions in human beings. However, the association of dietary fat and fatty acid intake with the prognosis of ovarian cancer remains unclear. Therefore, this review aims to analyze the existing epidemiological evidence between the two variables by searching the literature to provide dietary suggestions for ovarian cancer patients.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to develop a comprehensive instrument for evaluating and ranking clinical practice guidelines, named Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings tool (STAR), and test its reliability, validity, and usability. METHODS: This study set up a multidisciplinary working group including guideline methodologists, statisticians, journal editors, clinicians, and other experts. Scoping review, Delphi methods, and hierarchical analysis were used to develop the STAR tool. We evaluated the instrument's intrinsic and interrater reliability, content and criterion validity, and usability. RESULTS: STAR contained 39 items grouped into 11 domains. The mean intrinsic reliability of the domains, indicated by Cronbach's α coefficient, was 0.588 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.414, 0.762). Interrater reliability as assessed with Cohen's kappa coefficient was 0.774 (95% CI: 0.740, 0.807) for methodological evaluators and 0.618 (95% CI: 0.587, 0.648) for clinical evaluators. The overall content validity index was 0.905. Pearson's r correlation for criterion validity was 0.885 (95% CI: 0.804, 0.932). The mean usability score of the items was 4.6 and the median time spent to evaluate each guideline was 20 min. CONCLUSION The instrument performed well in terms of reliability, validity, and efficiency, and can be used for comprehensively evaluating and ranking guidelines.

In 2016, a national one million general population cohort project was set up in China for the first time in "Precision Medicine Research" Key Project, National Key Research and Development Program of China, which consists of general population cohorts in seven areas in China. As one of the seven major areas in China, northeastern China has unique climate and specific dietary patterns, and population aging is serious in this area. And the burden of chronic and non-communicable diseases ranks tops in China. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a large general population cohort in northeastern China to explore the area specific exposure factors related to pathogenesis and prognosis of chronic and non-communicable diseases, develop new prevention strategies to reduce the burden of the diseases and improve the population health in northeastern China. In July 2018, the general population cohort study in northeastern China was launched, the study includes questionnaire survey, health examination and blood, urine and stool sample collection and detection in recruited participants. By now, the cohort has covered all age groups, and the baseline data of 115 414 persons have been collected. This paper summarizes the design and practice of the general population cohort study in northeastern China to provide reference for related research in China.

At present, the incidence and mortality of cancers are increasing year by year, which has become a major global public health problem and the main cause of death of global population. In recent years, studies have shown that branched-chain amino acids levels play an important part in the incidence and prognosis of some malignant tumors, such as colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer and so on. Therefore, this article summarizes the studies on the relationship between the level of branched-chain amino acids and cancers, providing clues for further exploration of the correlation between the two.

Objective:To explore the association of DNA methylation with immune response to hepatitis B (HepB) vaccine in Han nationality children from Guangxi province.Methods:A total of 263 children aged 8-9 months who had completed HepB immunization program were recruited from three hospitals in Guangxi province by using unmatched case-control method. Children with the HepB surface antibody concentration(Anti -HBs)<100 mIU/ml was set as the case group and ≥100 mIU/ml as the control group. Multiplex PCR and heavy sulfite sequencing were used to treat the samples. Illumina platform was used for high-throughput DNA methylation sequencing of IFNG gene target regions and CpG sites. Unconditional logistic regression was used to analyze the association between cytosine-phospho-guanosine DNA methylation at 18 loci of IFNG gene and HepB immune response level. Results:There were 104 children in the case group and 159 in the control group. The median ( Q1, Q3) level of anti -HBs in two groups were 62.34 (30.06, 98.88) mIU/ml and 1 089.10 (710.35, 1 233.45) mIU/ml. The methylation levels of IFNG_1 gene 44 and 93 locus in the case group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The unconditional logistic regression model showed that the DNA methylation level of IFNG_1 gene at 44 ( OR=1.18, 95% CI: 1.03-1.35) and 93 ( OR=1.21, 95% CI: 1.07-1.38) locus was associated with the HepB response level. Conclusion:The changes of DNA methylation at locus 44 and 93 of IFNG_1 gene may be relevant factors affecting the response level of HepB in Han nationality children from Guangxi province.
