ObjectiveTo investigate the association of SH2B1 rs7359397 (C>T) polymorphism with the progression to hepatic fibrosis in the elderly patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in Beijing, China, and to provide an important genetic basis for the precise subtyping, prognostic evaluation, and individualized treatment of elderly MASLD patients in China. MethodsA total of 505 elderly patients (aged ≥65 years) who participated in regular physical examination in Mentougou Kuangshan Hospital of Beijing Jingmei Group General Hospital from November 2020 to September 2021 and were diagnosed with MASLD by abdominal ultrasound were enrolled as MASLD group, and 381 elderly population who underwent physical examination in the same community hospital during the same period of time and were not found to have MASLD by abdominal ultrasound were enrolled as control group. FibroScan was used to measure liver fat content and determine fibrosis stage. The 96-well microfluidic chip technique was used to identify SH2B1 rs7359397 polymorphism. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between the two groups, and the chi-square test or the adjusted chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the independent predictive factors for MASLD and its comorbidities. ResultsCompared with the control group, the MASLD group had a significantly younger age and significantly higher levels of waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-hip ratio, body mass index (BMI), alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, triglyceride, platelet count, and fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index, as well as a significantly lower level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (all P<0.05). Among the 381 patients in the control group, 264 (69.29%) had genotype CC and 117 (30.71%) had genotype CT+TT, while among the 505 patients in the MASLD group, 317 (62.77%) had genotype CC and 188 (37.23%) had genotype CT+TT, suggesting that the MASLD group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with genotype CT+TT compared with the control group (χ2=4.09, P=0.043). In the MASLD group, compared with the genotype CC group, the genotype CT+TT group had a significantly lower proportion of patients with FIB-4 ≥2 or atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (P<0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjustment for age, sex, and BMI, carrying T allele was a protective factor against progressive hepatic fibrosis (odds ratio [OR]=0.481, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.249 — 0.929, P=0.029). In the subgroups of comorbidities with hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and obesity, genotype CT+TT was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of progressive hepatic fibrosis (hypertension: OR=0.27, 95%CI:0.09 — 0.77, P=0.014; metabolic syndrome: OR=0.30, 95%CI: 0.11 — 0.79, P=0.015; obesity: OR=0.11, 95%CI: 0.03 — 0.48, P=0.003). After adjustment for age, sex, and BMI, in the patients with MASLD, the patients with genotype CT+TT had a significant reduction in the prevalence rate of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases compared with those with genotype CC (OR=0.506, 95%CI:0.336 — 0.761, P=0.001). ConclusionSH2B1 rs7359397 (C>T) polymorphism is associated with the reduction in the risk of hepatic fibrosis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases in MASLD patients.

Objective:
In order to understand and supervise the current situation of school health in Shanghai, the feasibility of internet-technology (IT) based school health management model is exarnined.
Methods:
Questionnaire survey, The feasibility analysis of IT based school health management model is discussed.
Results:
Principal directors from educational departments and health supervision centers more optimistic about the school health supervision model than school teachers(80.0%, 95.5%, 52.0%;73.3%, 90.9%, 55.1%). However, the three departments all in the publishing the information of school health(0, 13.9%, 6.3%).
Conclusion
IT based school health management model will become one of the most important supervision methods in the future. School Health management model based on IT is feasible.

Objective To evaluate the effect of different anticoagulant therapy regimens in patients with atrial fibrillation and stable coronary artery disease.Methods This was a retrospective cohort study.Patients with coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) in our hospital from January 2014 to January 2017 were involved.Based on the anticoagulant regimen,all patients were divided into two groups.:dual antiplatelet anticoagulant group(treated with aspirin and clopidogrel,as DT group),warfarin and one antiplatelet drug group (treated with warfarin and aspirin,or warfarin and clopidogrel,as WS group).We compared the safety (risk of bleeding)and efficacy(major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event)between groups after 12-month follow-up.Results 329 patients were included,with 173 males and mean age of(70.1± 9.3)years.There were 82 patients in the DT group,and 247 patients in the WS group.Patients in the WS group were older,and with significantly higher rates of diabetes,higher levels of creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB)and thrombosis risk compared with WS group(all P<0.05),though the anticoagulant duration,bleeding risk,data about coronary artery and peak value of CK-MB 24 h post-PCI were similar between groups.After(11.7 ± 1.5) months follow-up,the rates of bleeding was comparable between the two groups (P > 0.05).The rates of major adverse cardiacand cerebrovascular events (MACCE)were similar between groups(P >0.05),though there was a trend of increased risk of ischemic stroke in the DT group.Conclusions For patients with coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation undergoing PCI,dual antiplatelet therapy is a safe and effective anticoagulant regimen.However,there is a trend of increased rate of ischemic stroke,which is needed to explore.
