ObjectiveTo investigate the high-risk detection rate and aggregation of cardiovascular diseases(CVD) in 8 districts of Shanghai and influencing factors, and to provide scientific references for prevention and control of CVD. MethodsBased on the Cardiovascular Disease Screening and Management Program in Shanghai from 2016 to 2021, 104 685 participants aged 35 to 75 in 8 districts of Shanghai were selected for analysis. χ2 test and multivariate logistic regression were used for statistical analysis of the influencing factors of CVD and aggregation of CVD. ResultsThe proportion of high-risk CVD individuals in the population was 19.17%, including the high-risk individuals with hypertension (8.65%), dyslipidemia (6.33%), CVD history (5.58%), and WHO assessed risk ≥20% types (2.69%), respectively. Old age, overweight and obesity, central obesity, smoking, drinking, farmers, unmarried, and low family income were the risk factors of CVD, while high education level was the protective factor. In the participants, 16 323 people (81.34%) were classified as CVD high-risk groups; The number of aggregation of 1, 2 and ≥3 high risk types of CVD were 16 323(81.34%), 3 236(16.13%), 509(2.54%), respectively. Old age, low education level, low annual family income, farmers, unmarried, smoking, drinking, overweight, obesity and central obesity were associated with the risk of aggregation of high risk types of CVD, and the correlation strength increased with the increase of aggregation types. ConclusionThe prevention and control of CVD in Shanghai should focus on the hypertension, elderly, overweight, obesity, central obesity, smoking, drinking, low educated, low family income, farmers and unmarried people, and targeted intervention measures should be taken to reduce the risk of CVD among residents.

Objective:
To examine the association of hypertension onset age with diabetes, so as to provide insights into reducing the the risk of cardiovascular events.
Methods:
Permanent residents aged 35 to 75 years were selected through the program of early screening and comprehensive intervention for the high-risk cardiovascular disease population in Changning District and Baoshan District, Shanghai Municipality from 2016 to 2020. Demographic information, disease history, hypertension onset age, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examination and laboratory tests. The residents were divided into four groups based on the onset age of hypertension: <45, 45-<55, 55-<65 and ≥65 years old, and the residents with normal blood pressure were selected as control. The association of hypertension onset age with prediabetes and diabetes were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 25 228 residents were recruited, including 8 753 males (34.70%) and 16 475 females (65.30%). The prevalence of hypertension was 43.80%. There were 1 779, 3 274, 3 781 and 2 217 cases with hypertension onset age of <45, 45-<55, 55-<65 and ≥65 years old, respectively, and 14 177 residents with normal blood pressure. The prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes were 24.01% and 11.29%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, marital status and educational level, compared with the normal blood pressure group, the risk of prediabetes was higher in the hypertension onset age groups of <45 (OR=1.345, 95%CI: 1.164-1.553), 45-<55 (OR=1.365, 95%CI: 1.212-1.536) and 55-<65 years old (OR=1.376, 95%CI: 1.239-1.527), and the risk of diabetes was higher in the hypertension onset age groups of <45 (OR=2.302, 95%CI: 1.906-2.775), 45-<55 (OR=2.349, 95%CI: 2.016-2.734), 55-<65 (OR=1.909, 95%CI: 1.667-2.184) and ≥65 years old (OR=1.315, 95%CI: 1.131-1.526).
Conclusion
There are statistically significant associations between hypertension onset age with prediabetes and diabetes.

Objective To compare the differences in lipid metabolism between platinum-resistant and platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer patients at stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ,to analyze the differential intestinal flora using 16S rRNA sequen-cing,and to explore the associations among intestinal flora,lipid metabolism characteristics and platinum resistance in ovarian cancer.Methods Patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer at stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ through surgical pathology were selected,including a platinum-resistant group(11 cases)and a platinum-sensitive group(11 cases).The differences in lipid metabolism between the two groups were compared.The differences in gut microbiota between the two groups were investigated using fecal 16S rRNA sequencing.The association among gut microbiota,lipid metabolism characteristics,and platinum resistance in ovarian cancer was analyzed.Results Significant differ-ences were observed in lipid metabolism-related indicators[total cholesterol(TC),high-density lipoprotein choles-terol(HDL-C),non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(n-HDL),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),apolipoprotein(B)]between the two groups,with higher levels in the platinum-resistant group.The Shannon in-dex(P=0.008 3)and Simpson index(P=0.008 2)both showed higher diversity of gut microbiota in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients compared to the platinum-sensitive group.However,based on OTUs species clus-tering and relative abundance statistics,certain bacterial abundances differed significantly between the groups.Spe-cies such as Parabacteroides,Akkermansia,Blautia,Lachnoclostridium,Fusicatenibacter,and Megamonas had sig-nificantly higher abundances in the platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer group,and Akkermansia(a lipid metabolism-related bacterial group)was the most prevalent.Conclusion The platinum-resistant group of ovarian cancer ex-hibits significantly higher levels of lipid metabolism and gut microbiota diversity compared to the platinum-sensitive group.This suggests that the increase in lipid metabolism levels and fecal microbiota diversity may be associated with the development of platinum resistance.However,certain microbial taxa are reduced in abundance in the plat-inum-resistant group,such as the distinct Akkermansia genus(a lipid metabolism-related microbial community),which may serve as one of the factors inducing platinum-resistance in ovarian cancer.

Objective :
To investigate the effect and mechanism of ARRB1 on Armillariella tabescens polysaccharides reversal of 5-fluorouracil ( 5-FU ) -induced chemotherapeutic intestinal mucosal injury.
Methods :
Twelve ARRB1 knockout ( ARRB1 -/ - ) and wild-type ( WT) C57BL /6 mice were randomly divided into Control,Model and ATPS groups (200 mg / kg) ,respectively.5-FU (50 mg / kg) was injected intraperitoneally for 7 days to establish a model of chemotherapeutic intestinal mucosal injury.The histopathological damage of jejunum was evaluated by HE staining ; the activity of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and diamine oxidase (DAO) was measured by kits ; the expression of tight junction protein (TJ) markers ZO-1,Occludin,Claudin-1 and proliferation-associated protein Ki-67 was detected by immunohistochemistry.Crypt isolation and organoid culture were used to detect the growth status of small intestinal organoids.
Results :
5-FU chemotherapy reduced body weight,aggravated histopathological damage in small intestine,decreased SOD level,TJ protein and Ki-67 protein expression,increased serum DAO level,decreased spherical structure formation rate and organoid formation rate ; compared with the model group,after ATPS treatment,WT mice recovered body weight,decreased pathological damage,increased serum SOD level,TJ protein and Ki-67 protein expression,DAO levels decreased,and the rates of spherical structure for- mation and organoid formation were significantly higher.However,ARRB1 -/ - mice failed to reverse the effect of 5- FU after ATPS treatment.
Conclusion
ATPS reverses 5-FU-induced intestinal mucositis through the protective effects of ARRB1 on intestinal barrier and organoid growth.

Objective:
To investigate the reversal effect of cinobufagin ( CINO) combined with 5-fluorouracil (5- FU) on human colorectal cancer ( CRC) drug-resistant cell line HCT15 /5-FU,and to clarify the regulatory role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1 α) / vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway in reversing chemoresistance of colorectal cancer.
Methods :
MTT assay was used to detect the changes of drug resistance and drug resistance index,flow cytometry was used to evaluate the apoptosis of cells ,scratch test and Transwell assay were used to detect the changes of cell migration and invasion ability.Western blot was used to detect the expressions of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related proteins and HIF-1 α/ VEGF pathway-related proteins.
Results:
Compared with HCT15 cells,the resistance index of HCT15 /5-FU was about 8. 720. CINO combined with 5-FU could significantly enhance the drug sensitivity of HCT15 /5-FU cells,reduce drug resistance index,up-regulate the level of apoptosis,and inhibit cell migration and invasion in a dose-dependent manner.Western blot results showed that CINO combined with 5-FU could inhibit the activity of EMT and HIF-1 α/ VEGF pathway.
Conclusion
CINO can reverse 5-FU resistance of colorectal cancer in vitro,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the HIF-1 α/ VEGF pathway and the inhibition of EMT and angiogenesis.

10.Correlation of platelet activation and inflammatory factor to vascular restenosis following intravascular stent implantation
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(39):7739-7742
OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation among platelet activation, inflammatory factor changes and vascular restenosis following intravascular stent implantation.METHODS: Chinese Journal Full-Text Database and Pubmed were retrieved using search terms of intracranial arterial, stents,stenosis, elevated platelet activation, and inflammatory factors from January 1999 to June 2009. The language was restricted within Chinese and English. Simultaneously, platelet activation and inflammatory factor changes were acted as evaluation indexes. Accordingly, clinical research regarding treating intracranial artery stenosis with intravascular stent implantation was included. The animal experiment or other treatment methods were excluded.RESULTS: A total of 650 papers were obtained by initial search with computer. According to inclusion criteria, the related papers were analyzed. Platelet activation, inflammatory reaction and inflammatory factor were the focuses of research concerning restenosis following intravascular stent implantation. Platelet thrombus was the main factor to cause acute vascular occlusion, and the activated platelet aggravated the damage of endothelial cells, which induced over proliferation of smooth muscle cell. As a kind of foreign body, the stent implantation was closely associated with complication, such as formation of thrombosis, acute vascular occlusion, vasovagal reflex and immune reaction, which lead to reconstruction of vessel wall and in-stent restenosis.CONCLUSION: It is effective to cure vascular restenosis by undergoing antiplatelet therapy prior to implantation, controlling inflammatory reaction, as well as inhibiting vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation following intravascular stent implantation.
