ACC oxidase (ACO) is one of the key enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of ethylene. Ethylene is involved in salt stress response in plants, and salt stress seriously affects the yield of peanut. In this study, AhACO genes were cloned and their functions were investigated with the aim to explore the biological function of AhACOs in salt stress response, and to provide genetic resources for the breeding of salt-tolerant varieties of peanut. AhACO1 and AhACO2 were amplified from the cDNA of salt-tolerant peanut mutant M29, respectively, and cloned into the plant expression vector pCAMBIA super1300. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into Huayu22 by pollen tube injection mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. After harvest, the small slice cotyledon was separated from the kernel, and the positive seeds were screened by PCR. The expression of AhACO genes was analyzed by qRT-PCR, and the ethylene release was detected by capillary column gas chromatography. Transgenic seeds were sowed and then irrigated with NaCl solution, and the phenotypic changes of 21-day-seedings were recorded. The results showed that the growth of transgenic plants were better than that of the control group Huayu 22 upon salt stress, and the relative content of chlorophyll SPAD value and net photosynthetic rate (Pn) of transgenic peanuts were higher than those of the control group. In addition, the ethylene production of AhACO1 and AhACO2 transgenic plants were 2.79 and 1.87 times higher than that of control peanut, respectively. These results showed that AhACO1 and AhACO2 could significantly improve the salt stress tolerance of transgenic peanut.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of senile dementia death in Jing’an District from 2016 to 2020, as well as the trends of mortality, standardized mortality, years of life lost (YLL) due to early death, years lived with disability (YLD), and disability-adjusted life year (DALY), and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of senile dementia. MethodsThe distribution of senile dementia in terms of gender, age, marital status and education level was investigated in the senile dementia death cases from 2016 to 2020 in Jing’an District. The YLL, YLD, DALY and their rates of the residents of Jing’an District from 2016 to 2020 were calculated by using Global Burden of Disease (GBD 2019) research method and results in combination with the corresponding population data. ResultsCompared to those without dementia, deaths with dementia were more likely to be female, more likely to be over 80 years old, less likely to be married, and more likely to have education level under middle school. Among the deaths with dementia, only 27.70% of the primary cause of death was dementia, and the other main causes were cerebrovascular disease, coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus, which accounted for 25.54%, 17.81% and 7.28%, respectively. There was a significant gender difference in the burden of disease on senile dementia in Jing’an District. Mortality, standardized mortality, YLL, YLD and DALY rates of females were higher than those of males. The burden of disease on senile dementia increased with age. The change trend of mortality and YLL rate from 2016 to 2020 was not statistically significant, while the YLD rate and DALY rate showed an upward trend, which was statistically significant. ConclusionAs the life span of residents in Jing’an District increases and the population aging deepens, the burden of disease on senile dementia is still heavy. This requires extensive attention of the whole society, and active exploration of prevention and control strategies and measures for senile dementia, so as to improve the life quality of patients and reduce the burden of disease.

To present the clinical characteristics and the misdiagnosis rate of acute coronary syndrome manifested primarily as throat discomfort, we conducted a multicentric and retrospective study in the cardiology and otorhinolaryngology departments. Records of patients with primary complaint of throat discomfort, absence of chest pain at onset, and an ultimate diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, as well as patients with pharyngitis (as controls) were collected from May 2015 to April 2016. The patients' main manifestations were compared. Logistic regression results showed that chest tightness, dyspnea, perspiring, and exertional throat symptoms were significantly associated with acute coronary syndrome, with odds ratios of 8.3 (95% CI 2.2-31.5), 10.9 (95% CI 1.8-66.9), 25.4 (95% CI 3.6-179.9), and 81.2 (95% CI 13.0-506.7). A total of 25 (56.82%) out of 44 acute coronary syndrome patients, who were first admitted to the otorhinolaryngology department, were misdiagnosed, with a 12% (3/25) mortality rate. Throat discomfort can be the principal manifestation of acute coronary syndrome. Such patients exhibit high misdiagnosis and mortality rates. Exertional throat symptoms, chest tightness, perspiring, and dyspnea were important indicators of acute coronary syndrome in patients whose main complaint was throat discomfort. The awareness of this condition will result in prompt diagnosis and reduce morbidity and mortality.

Objective:To estimate the healthy life expectancy (HALE) of registered residents in Jing′an District, Shanghai City.Methods:From June to August in 2017, 14 districts (towns) were selected as the research sites, and 4 159 registered residents were selected as the subjects. The health status data of subjects were collected by using the self-rated health scale, and the health rate of subjects was obtained by using the CHOPIT model. The health rate of residents under 18 years old was replaced by the parameters of 18-year-old group, and Sullivan method was used to calculate the HALE of registered residents in Jing′an District, Shanghai City.Results:The age of 4 159 subjects was (56.46±15.19) years old, ranging from 18 to 98 years old. There were 1 768 males (42.5%). The overall health rate of subjects was 74.96%, of which the health rates of male and female were 76.87% and 72.45% respectively. With the increase of age, the health rate decreased ( Z=265.51, P<0.001), and the health rate of male was higher than that of female (χ2=2 154.54, P<0.001). The HALE of the 0-year-old group was 64.29 years old, in which the male and female were 66.25 and 63.57 years old respectively. Among the 18-year-old group, the HALE was 48.18 years old, with 49.07 years old for male and 47.46 years old for female. The HALE of male was higher than that of female in all age groups. With the increase of age, the HALE decreased gradually. Conclusion:There are significant sex and age differences in HALE in Jing′an District, Shanghai City. The health issue of female and older people should be given more attention.
