		                        			Objective:
		                        			To establish a prediction model for high-risk cardiovascular disease (CVD) among residents aged 35 to 75 years, so as to provide the basis for improving CVD prevention and control measures.
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			Permanent residents aged 35 to 75 years were selected from Dongcheng District, Beijing Municipality using the stratified random sampling method from 2018 to 2023. Demographic information, lifestyle, waist circumference and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests. Influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model, and a prediction model for high-risk CVD was established. The predictive effect was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			A total of 6 968 individuals were surveyed, including 2 821 males (40.49%) and 4 147 females (59.51%), and had a mean age of (59.92±9.33) years. There were 1 155 high-risk CVD population, with a detection rate of 16.58%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, central obesity, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the established prediction model was 0.849 (95%CI: 0.834-0.863), with a sensitivity of 0.693 and a specificity of 0.863, indicating good discrimination.
		                        		
		                        			Conclusion
		                        			The model constructed by eight factors including demographic characteristics, lifestyle and blood biochemical indicators has good predictive value for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years.

		                        			Immobilized enzyme-based enzyme electrode biosensors, characterized by high sensitivity and efficiency, strong specificity, and compact size, demonstrate broad application prospects in life science research, disease diagnosis and monitoring, etc. Immobilization of enzyme is a critical step in determining the performance (stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility) of the biosensors. Random immobilization (physical adsorption, covalent cross-linking, etc.) can easily bring about problems, such as decreased enzyme activity and relatively unstable immobilization. Whereas, directional immobilization utilizing amino acid residue mutation, affinity peptide fusion, or nucleotide-specific binding to restrict the orientation of the enzymes provides new possibilities to solve the problems caused by random immobilization. In this paper, the principles, advantages and disadvantages and the application progress of enzyme electrode biosensors of different directional immobilization strategies for enzyme molecular sensing elements by specific amino acids (lysine, histidine, cysteine, unnatural amino acid) with functional groups introduced based on site-specific mutation, affinity peptides (gold binding peptides, carbon binding peptides, carbohydrate binding domains) fused through genetic engineering, and specific binding between nucleotides and target enzymes (proteins) were reviewed, and the application fields, advantages and limitations of various immobilized enzyme interface characterization techniques were discussed, hoping to provide theoretical and technical guidance for the creation of high-performance enzyme sensing elements and the manufacture of enzyme electrode sensors.

		                        			Objective To establish a Nomogram model for assessing the risk of intestinal colonization by Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)to determine the specific probability of colonization and adopt individualized prevention strategies for the purpose of reducing the occurrence of colonization and secondary infection of neonatal CRKP.Methods A total of 187 neonates hospitalized between January 2021 and October 2022 and diagnosed with CRKP colonization by rectal swab/fecal culture as well drug sensitivity identification 48 h after admission were assigned to the CRKP group.Another 187 neonates without non-CRKP colonization during the same period were set as the non-CRKP group.All the data of the two groups were used for a retrospective analysis.The caret package in R 4.2.1 was used to randomly divide the 374 cases into the model group and validation group at a ratio of 3∶1.Then the glmnet package in R 4.2.1 was used to conduct a LASSO regression analysis over the data from the model group to determine the predictive factors for modeling and the rms software package was used to build a Nomogram model.The pROC and rms packages in R 4.2.1 were used to examine the data,analyzing the consistency indexes(Cindex),receiver operating characteristic curves(ROC),and area under the curves(AUC)and performing the internal and external validation of the efficacy of the Nomogram model via the calibration curves.Results LASSO regression analysis determined eight predictors from the 35 factors probably affecting neonatal CRKP colonization:gender,cesarean section,breastfeeding,nasogastric tube,enema,carbapenems,probiotics,and hospital stay.The Nomogram model constructed using these eight predictors as variables could predict CRKP colonization to a moderate extent,with the area under the ROC curve of 0.835 and 0.800 in the model and validation group,respectively.The Hos-mer-Lemeshow test showed that the predicted probability was highly consistent with the actual probability(the modeling group:P = 0.678>0.05;the validation group:P = 0.208>0.05),presenting a higher degree of fitting.Conclusion The Nomogram model containing such variables as gender,cesarean section,breastfeeding,nasogastric tube,enema,carbapenems,probiotics,and hospital stay is more effective in predicting the risk of neonatal CRKP colonization.Therefore,preventive measures should be individualized based on the colonization probability predicted by the Nomogram model in order to keep neonates from CRKP colonization and reduce the incidence of secondary CRKP infections among them.

		                        			Objective To investigate the immunotoxicity effect of triphenyl phosphate (TPHP) on thymus tissue of mice, and analyze the related mechanism. Methods Specific pathogen free BALB/c mice were randomly divided into control group, low-, medium- and high-dose groups, with 12 mice per group (equal gender distribution). Mice in these four groups were orally administered doses of 0, 1, 10, and 150 mg/kg body weight of TPHP daily for 60 days. After the exposure, the complete blood count of mice was detected, thymus tissue was collected, coefficient of thymus organs was calculated, and the histopathology changes of thymus were observed. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to assess the expression of genes related to inflammation, oxidative stress, cellular autophagy, and apoptosis in thymic tissues. Results During the exposure period, male mice in the high-dose group had poor fur condition, whisker loss, and increased irritability, while these phenomena were not observed in female mice. At the end of the exposure period, there were no significant changes in mice body weight or thymus organ coefficients among the groups. However, male mice in the high-dose group showed cellular apoptotic changes in the thymic tissue. The amount of white blood cell, lymphocyte, neutrophil granulocyte, red blood cell distribution width, platelet and the plateletcrit of male mice was lower in the high-dose group than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The relative mRNA expression of interleukin (Il)-1β, Il-6, catalase (Cat), P62, as well as the ratio of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) associated X protein (Bax)/Bcl-2 in thymic tissue of male mice were higher in the low-dose group than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The relative mRNA expression of nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2), superoxide dismutase 1 (Sod1), glutathione peroxidase 1 (Gpx1), P62, as well as the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 in the thymic tissue of male mice were higher in the medium-dose group than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The relative mRNA expression of Nrf2, Cat, Sod1, Gpx1, P62, cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3, as well as the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 in the thymic tissue of male mice were higher in the high-dose group than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The relative mRNA expression of Il-1β and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 in thymic tissue of female mice were higher in the low- and medium-dose group (all P<0.05), while the relative mRNA expression of interferon-γ, Nrf2, Cat, P62, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3, as well as the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 in thymic tissue of female mice were higher in the high-dose group than that in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion Although TPHP exposure had not significantly affected the body weight, thymus organ coefficient and histopathology of mice, it induced changes in oxidative stress-related indicators in thymic tissue, promoted cellular autophagy, apoptosis, and inflammation in the thymic tissue, with observed gender difference.

		                        			Objective:To analyze and predict the future trend of the premature mortality of major chronic and non-communicable diseases in Anhui Province, evaluate the implementation of the "Healthy China 2030" Plan, and explore its influencing factors.Methods:Using data from death-cause surveillance and statistical yearbooks in Anhui, the trend prediction and analysis on influencing factors were conducted by using methods such as time series accumulation and logarithmic linear Joinpoint regression, principal component regression.Results:In Anhui, 28.10% of the deaths were premature ones, of which 84.40% were attributed to chronic and non-communicable diseases. In premature deaths attributed to chronic and non-communicable diseases, the deaths caused by malignant tumor and cardiovascular disease accounted for 45.88% and 41.65% respectively. The prediction results showed that the premature mortality of major chronic and non-communicable diseases would decrease in Anhui in the future, and by 2030, the goal in the "Healthy China 2030" Plan would be reached only in rural area. To reduce premature death, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention and control of malignant tumor and cardiovascular disease. Men in urban area are the key population. Factors that reflect urban infrastructure had a significant impact on premature mortality of major chronic non-communicable diseases, such as garden and green space area per capita. Factors such as concentration of PM 2.5 had a negative impact on premature mortality of chronic non-communicable diseases, while factors such as garden and green space area per capita had a positive impact. Conclusions:Disease burden caused by chronic and non-communicable diseases, such as malignant tumor, exits in Anhui. Men in urban area are key population in the prevention and control of chronic and non-communicable diseases in the future.

		                        			Objective:To explore the prognostic value of BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) expression loss in patients with malignant mesothelioma (MM) .Methods:A total of 82 MM patients from January 1998 to December 2017 in Zhejiang Province were selected to detect the expression of BAP1 protein by immunohistochemical analysis. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve, and multivariate Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the factors affecting the survival rate.Results:Among 82 MM patients, 61 (74.4%) were female, aged (57±11) years. BAP1 protein expression was deficient in 39 patients (47.6%). The survival rate was correlated with the loss of BAP1 protein expression and age (χ 2=5.27, 5.66, P=0.022, 0.017). Subgroup analysis showed that loss of BAP1 protein expression was associated with better prognosis in MM patients <57 years of age, female, pleural MM, epithelial MM, and treated with drugs or surgery ( P<0.05). Multivariate model results showed that positive expression of BAP1 protein ( HR=3.75, 95% CI: 2.23-6.30, P<0.001) and age ≥57 years ( HR=1.66, 95% CI: 1.01-2.72, P=0.049) were risk factors for survival in patients with MM. Conclusion:Loss of BAP1 protein expression may be an independent prognostic factor in patients with MM, which is associated with longer survival.
