Objective:To explore the development trajectory and influencing factors of self compassion in elderly patients with first stroke hemiplegia, in order to provide a theoretical basis for adopting more targeted intervention measures at different stages and early identification of elderly stroke hemiplegia patients with sustained low self compassion.Methods:This was a prospective longitudinal study. Convenience sampling method was used to select 247 elderly patients with first-episode stroke admitted to Sanya Central Hospital (Hainan Third People′s Hospital) from January to December 2022 and who were assessed as semi-disabled (Barthel index was 40-99 ) before discharge. The baseline data of patients were collected by general information questionnaire, self-compassion scale, simplified fear of disease progression scale and social support rating scale. The self-compassion level of patients was evaluated before discharge, 1 month after discharge, 3 months after discharge and 6 months after discharge.The latent class growth model (LCGM) was used to identify the development trajectory of self-compassion, and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the predictors of different development trajectory categories.Results:Ultimately, 219 patients completed the entire investigation and follow-up. There were 132 males and 87 females, aged (69.74 ± 4.05) years old. The self-compassion level of patients before discharge, 1 month after discharge, 3 months after discharge and 6 months after discharge were (72.37 ± 11.53), (74.65 ± 13.26), (76.84 ± 12.11), (79.45 ± 13.64) points, and there were positive correlation between scores ( r values were 0.29-0.55, all P<0.05). Three different trajectory change categories were identified by LCGM, namely high-level stable group (29%,63/219), low-level delayed decline group (23%, 51/219), and medium-level elevated group (48%, 105/219).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that per capita monthly income<2 000 yuan ( OR=2.857, 95% CI 1.093-7.464, P<0.05), high comorbidities ( OR=5.625, 95% CI 1.971-16.051, P<0.01), high fear of disease progression ( OR=1.167, 95% CI 1.080-1.261, P<0.01), and low social support ( OR=00.763, 95% CI 0.595-0.979, P<0.05) were more likely to enter the low-level delayed decline group, and high school education( OR=4.429, 95% CI 1.479-13.265, P<0.01) and high social support ( OR=1.120, 95% CI 1.043-1.202, P<0.01) were more likely to enter the middle-level rise group. Conclusions:The development trend of self-compassion in elderly stroke patients with semi-disability can be divided into three different trajectories: high-level stable group, low-level delayed decline group and medium-level elevated group. Low income level, more comorbidities and fear of disease progression are not conducive to the development of self-compassion after discharge, while high education level and social support are conducive to the improvement of self-compassion after discharge. Medical staff can formulate targeted intervention programs to improve patients′ self-compassion based on the above influencing factors.

Background::Heterotaxy (HTX) is a thoracoabdominal organ anomaly syndrome and commonly accompanied by congenital heart disease (CHD). The aim of this study was to analyze rare copy number variations (CNVs) in a HTX/CHD cohort and to examine the potential mechanisms contributing to HTX/CHD.Methods::Chromosome microarray analysis was used to identify rare CNVs in a cohort of 120 unrelated HTX/CHD patients, and available samples from parents were used to confirm the inheritance pattern. Potential candidate genes in CNVs region were prioritized via the DECIPHER database, and PNPLA4 was identified as the leading candidate gene. To validate, we generated PNPLA4-overexpressing human induced pluripotent stem cell lines as well as pnpla4-overexpressing zebrafish model, followed by a series of transcriptomic, biochemical and cellular analyses. Results::Seventeen rare CNVs were identified in 15 of the 120 HTX/CHD patients (12.5%). Xp22.31 duplication was one of the inherited CNVs identified in this HTX/CHD cohort, and PNPLA4 in the Xp22.31 was a candidate gene associated with HTX/CHD. PNPLA4 is expressed in the lateral plate mesoderm, which is known to be critical for left/right embryonic patterning as well as cardiomyocyte differentiation, and in the neural crest cell lineage. Through a series of in vivo and in vitro analyses at the molecular and cellular levels, we revealed that the biological function of PNPLA4 is importantly involved in the primary cilia formation and function via its regulation of energy metabolism and mitochondria-mediated ATP production. Conclusions::Our findings demonstrated a significant association between CNVs and HTX/CHD. Our data strongly suggested that an increased genetic dose of PNPLA4 due to Xp22.31 duplication is a disease-causing risk factor for HTX/CHD.

Objective:To explore the clinical application of the principle of priority of mechanics in open blepharoplasty.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 96 patients with bilateral single eyelid. For patients with condylar epidermis, the modified Park method for epidermal epidermal correction was performed; for patients with mild ptosis, levator aponeurosis or levator aponeurosis was performed. Methods such as loosening adhesions, reducing tissues, reducing load, and increasing the strength of the meibomian plate through surgery can weaken the mechanical factors that affect the formation of double eyelid folds. Therefore, with less or even the use of suture force, the patient achieves a more ideal shape of the double eyelid folds when the eyes are opened.Results:The morphology of upper eyelids and skin sagging in all 96 patients were significantly improved. Among them, 2 cases had poor curvature of the double eyelid after operation, 1 had narrow double eyelid due to insufficient peeling, and 2 had bilateral asymmetry. The upper and lower eyelids of the other patients had natural morphology with open and closed eyes, scars of incisions were not obvious, and the results were satisfactory.Conclusions:During mild blepharoptosis correction combined with double eyelid surgery, The use of the principle of priority of mechanics to open the double blepharoplasty can reduce the incidence of complications such as shallowing and disappearing of double eyelid folds to a certain extent, and it is worth popularizing.

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor characterized by high morbidity and mortality. With the development of molecular biol-ogy technology and the emergence of various new omics detection techniques in recent years, molecular epidemiologists of gastric cancer have conducted extensive studies on the genetic and host factors, as well as gene-environment interactions associated with ex-posure to environmental factors in gastric cancer. In addition, epidemiologists have studied the evolution of precancerous gastric le-sions, the development of gastric cancer, and explored relevant biomarkers to provide major evidence for the prevention and control of gastric cancer. This review summarizes the latest advances in the molecular epidemiology of gastric cancer, including existing evi-dence in studies for candidate-approach-based serum/plasma biomarkers, genome-wide association, whole-exome sequencing, tissue microarrays, as well as studies on metabolomics and microbiomes. We expect to provide insights into the future of molecular epidemi-ology studies in gastric cancer, promoting etiologic research, and the precise prevention and control of gastric cancer.
