Objective This study aimed to investigate the potential relationship between urinary metals copper (Cu), arsenic (As), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), iron (Fe), lead (Pb) and manganese (Mn) and grip strength. Methods We used linear regression models, quantile g-computation and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) to assess the relationship between metals and grip strength.Results In the multimetal linear regression, Cu (β=-2.119), As (β=-1.318), Sr (β=-2.480), Ba (β=0.781), Fe (β= 1.130) and Mn (β=-0.404) were significantly correlated with grip strength (P < 0.05). The results of the quantile g-computation showed that the risk of occurrence of grip strength reduction was -1.007 (95% confidence interval:-1.362, -0.652; P < 0.001) when each quartile of the mixture of the seven metals was increased. Bayesian kernel function regression model analysis showed that mixtures of the seven metals had a negative overall effect on grip strength, with Cu, As and Sr being negatively associated with grip strength levels. In the total population, potential interactions were observed between As and Mn and between Cu and Mn (Pinteractions of 0.003 and 0.018, respectively).Conclusion In summary, this study suggests that combined exposure to metal mixtures is negatively associated with grip strength. Cu, Sr and As were negatively correlated with grip strength levels, and there were potential interactions between As and Mn and between Cu and Mn.

Objective:Based on the forgetting curve principle to construct a model for the popularization of cardiopulmonary resuscitation among college students and validate its effectiveness, providing reference for the promotion of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted. In October 2021, a multistage random sampling method was used to select 262 freshmen and sophomores from the School of Mathematics and Physics at Leshan Normal University as the control group, and 262 freshmen and sophomores from the School of Electronic Information and Artificial Intelligence as the experimental group.The control group received conventional training, while the experimental group, in addition to conventional training, received cardiopulmonary resuscitation retraining based on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve at three time intervals: within 1 week, within 1 month, and within 1 to 6 months after training. The retraining included online self-learning, on-site observation reinforcement, and social practice sublimation. The cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge awareness rate and cardiopulmonary resuscitation skill assessment of the two groups were compared before training, immediately after training, and 6 months after training.Results:The final number of participants was 256 in the control group (126 males and 130 females) and 224 in the experimental group (110 males and 114 females). There were no statistically significant differences in cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge awareness rate and cardiopulmonary resuscitation skill scores between the two groups before and immediately after training (both P>0.05). Immediately after training, the average cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge awareness rate in the experimental and control groups were 91% (1 626/1 792) and 88% (1 806/2 048), respectively, which were significantly higher than the pre-training rates of 55% (989/1 792) and 55% (1 129/2 048) ( χ2=8.46, 7.30, both P<0.01). The cardiopulmonary resuscitation skill scores were (42.00 ± 3.55) and (41.68 ± 3.40), respectively, higher than the pre-training scores of (15.41 ± 4.85) and (15.92 ± 4.66) ( t=84.47, 45.56, both P<0.05). Six months after training, the awareness rates of determination of consciousness and cardiac arrest judgment, cardiopulmonary resuscitation steps, chest compression location, frequency, depth, and the ratio of chest compressions to artificial ventilation in the experimental group in college students were 90% (201/224), 93% (208/224), 92% (206/224), 93% (208/224), 89% (200/224), and 94% (210/224), respectively, higher than those in the control group, which were 62% (158/256), 71% (182/256), 77% (198/256), 73% (186/256), 70% (178/256), and 69% (176/256) ( χ2 values were 4.21-7.03, all P<0.01). The cardiopulmonary resuscitation skill score in the experimental group was (49.77 ± 3.68), higher than the control group′s (34.95 ± 4.79) ( t=38.25, P<0.01). The proportion of students confident in using cardiopulmonary resuscitation to save others was 92% (206/224) in the experimental group, higher than 58% (148/256) in the control group ( χ2=7.68, P<0.01). Six months after training, the cardiopulmonary resuscitation skill score in the experimental group was (49.77 ± 3.68), higher than the immediate post-training score of (42.00 ± 3.55), whereas the control group's cardiopulmonary resuscitation skill score was (34.95 ± 4.79), lower than the immediate post-training score of (41.68 ± 3.40) ( t=22.74, 18.33, both P<0.01). Conclusions:The cardiopulmonary resuscitation popularization model for college students based on the forgetting curve is conducive to mastering cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge and skills among trained college students, enhancing their confidence in using cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques to rescue others. Moreover, it helps save the human, financial, and material resources required for cardiopulmonary resuscitation training to a certain extent and is worthy of promotion.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the regulatory effects of biofilm associated non-coding small RNA(sRNA)00085 on the survival and environmental fitness of Listeria monocytogenes.Homologous recombination technology was used to construct a deletion mutant strain(△sRNA 00085)and a complementary strain(C △sRNA 00085)of the sRNA00085 target gene.The differences in biological characteristics were compared among the standard strain,△sRNA 00085,and C△sRNA 00085.The deletion of sRNA00085 led to a significant decrease in biofilm formation capacity and sensitivity to several antibiotics,including penicillin,piperacillin,doxycycline,tetracycline,vancomycin,and cotrimoxazole.However,only the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of tetracycline exhibited a significant decrease in △sRNA00085.Meanwhile,the decreased biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance of the sRNA00085 mutant were restored in the C△sRNA00085 strain.Furthermore,we investigated the transcription levels of tetracycline resistance-related genes in L.monocytogenes.Down-regu-lated transcription of the tetS gene but no significant difference in transcription of the tetA gene were observed in △sRNA 00085 compared with the standard strain and C△sRNA00085.Moreover,the elimination of sRNA00085 did not affect bacterial growth ability or sensitivity to disinfectants.These findings highlight that sRNA00085 plays an important role in the environ-mental adaptability of L.monocytogenes by affecting bacterial biofilm formation and resistance.

Objective:To investigate the early predictive value of halving time(HT)of BCR-ABLIS for deep molecular response(DMR)in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia(CML)treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI).Methods:The continuous data of newly diagnosed CML patients with complete case data and first-line imatinib treatment admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from January 2014 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Combined with the clinical characteristics of the patients and the efficacy analysis at each time point,a logistic regression model was used to explore the independent influencing factors of DMR,and combined HT of BCR-ABLIS with BCR-ABLIS level at 3 months to predict DMR of the patients.Results:Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that HT and 3-month BCR-ABLIS levels were independent influencing factors for MR4,MR4.5,and stable MR4.5(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis determined that the best cut-off value of HT was 28 days.Compared with patients with HT>28 d,patients with HT ≤28 d were more likely to obtain DMR at 2,3,and 5 years,respectively(74.2%vs 27.3%,71.2%vs 22.7%,and 63.6%vs 25.0%,all P<0.001).The patients were divided into 4 groups according to BCR-ABLIS levels at 3 months and HT.Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the patients in the BCR-ABLIS ≤10%and HT≤28 d group had a higher probability of obtaining cumulative MR4 and MR4.5 than those in the BCR-ABLIS≤10%and HT>28 d group(P<0.05);Patients in the BCR-ABLIS>10%and HT≤28 d group had a higher probability of obtaining cumulative MR4 and MR4.5 than those in the BCR-ABLIS>10%and HT>28 d group(P<0.05).Conclusion:In addition to BCR-ABLIS level,HT of BCR-ABLIS can be used as another important predictor of treatment efficacy in CML patients.The combination of BCR-ABLIS level and HT has a more accurate predictive value for long-term molecular response of CML patients after TKI treatment.
