Background Diurnal temperature range (DTR) is closely associated with cardiovascular health in the elderly, but there is a lack of research on the relationship between DTR and ischemic heart disease (IHD) in the elderly. Objective To investigate the effect of DTR on daily hospital admissions for IHD in people 65 years and older in Wuhan. Methods The study obtained data on elderly inpatients with IHD from all secondary and tertiary hospitals in Wuhan between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2018, along with synchronous meteorological and air pollution data. Daily DTR was calculated as the difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures in a day. We employed distributed lag nonlinear models based on quasi-Poisson distribution to analyze the association between DTR and hospitalization risk in individuals aged 60 years and above. We assessed the extreme effects of DTR by selected DTR percentiles (the 1st percentile, P1: 1.8 ℃; the 5th percentile, P5: 2.9 ℃; the 95th percentile, P95: 14.3 ℃; and the 99th percentile, P99: 16.2 ℃) on hospitalization for IHD in the elderly population. Additionally, we conducted stratified analyses by gender, age (60-74 years and ≥75 years) and different subtypes (acute IHD and chronic IHD) to investigate the effects of DTR on hospitalizations for IHD across different genders, ages, and subtypes. Results This study included a total of

Objective To explore the association of (cardiometabolic index , CMI ) and ( lipid accumulation product , LAP ) with the prevalence of hypertension in adults in Pingshan District, Shenzhen, and to evaluate the predictive value of CMI and LAP for the prevalence of hypertension. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted, in which 1000 permanent residents aged 18-69 years in Pingshan District, Shenzhen were randomly selected as survey subjects. The data were collected using questionnaires, physical measurements and blood tests, and the relationship between CMI, LAP and hypertension prevalence was analyzed using logistic regression models. Results A total of 987 subjects were included in the analysis, including 471 (47.72%) males and 516 (52.28%) females, with an average age of 40.9 ± 11.1 years. Subjects of different genders were divided into groups Q1 to Q4 according to quartiles of CMI and LAP, and the prevalence of hypertension increased with increasing levels of CMI and LAP in both men and women (P for trend < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjusting for variables such as age and occupation, the OR for hypertension was 1.251 (1.025-1.526) and 1.685 (1.001-2.836) for men and women, respectively, for each standard deviation increase in CMI; the OR for hypertension was 3.519 (1.343-9.222) for men in the Q4 group, compared to the CMI subgroup Q1. For each standard deviation increase in LAP, the ORs for hypertension were 1.355 (1.089-1.686) and 1.825 (1.023-3.254) for men and women, respectively; compared to LAP subgroup Q1, the ORs for hypertension in the male Q3 and Q4 groups were 2.554 (1.103-5.909) and 5.322 (2.393-11.834), while the OR for hypertension in the female Q4 group was 2.906 (1.096-7.703). ROC analysis revealed that the area under the curve (AUC) for CMI, LAP, and BMI was 0.671, 0.704, and 0.702 for males, and 0.660, 0.722, and 0.697 for females, respectively. The AUC for LAP was greater than that for CMI for different genders (P < 0.01). Conclusion The greater the CMI and LAP values in adults in Pingshan District, Shenzhen , the higher the prevalence of hypertension. CMI and LAP have certain values in predicting the prevalence of hypertension.

【Objective】 To investigate the molecular mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) TDRG1 in facilitating the malignant progression and poor prognosis of patients with cervical cancer. 【Methods】 Cervical cancer cell lines and normal cervical cell Ect1/E6E7 were collected. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of TDRG1. Cervical cancer cell lines were transfected with TDRG1-siRNA, and the proliferation of cancer cells was detected by CCK-8 method and cell plate cloning experiment. The invasion and migration of cancer cells were measured by Transwell experiment. The apoptosis of cancer cells was examined by flow cytometry, and the expressions of relevant proteins were tested by Western blot. 【Results】 Compared with Ect1/E6E7, cervical cancer cell lines showed relatively increased expression of TDRG1. Downregulation of TDRG1 expression inhibited the proliferation and colony formation (162±21 vs. 411±33, P<0.05), as well as the invasion and migration (invasion: 86±13 vs. 315±38, P<0.01; migration: 177±22 vs. 406±41, P<0.01) of Hela cells. Meanwhile, the apoptosis of Hela cells increased [(28±1.5)% vs. (16±1.2)%, P<0.05] and the expression of Bcl-2 protein reduced. In addition, TDRG1 knockdown also decreased the activity of autophagy in Hela cells. 【Conclusion】 TDRG1 facilitates the malignant biological progression of cervical cancer by inhibiting the apoptosis and providing a protective autophagy in cervical cells.

Journal of China Medical University 2018;47(1):27-31,35
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of double-balloon dilation in percutaneous kyphoplasty for severe osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) in the elderly. Methods Sixty patients with severe OVCF were randomly divided into two groups, a double- and a single-balloon dilatation group,with 30 cases in each group. Regular follow-up was conducted at 3,6,and 12 months after operation. The operation time,blood loss volume,bone cement injection rate,and bone cement leakage rate were recorded. The visual analog score (VAS),Oswestry disability index (ODI),vertebral anterior height,and kyphosis Cobb angle were used to evaluate efficacy. Results No significant differences in operation time and bleeding volume were found between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). The amount of bone cement injection in the double-balloon dilatation group was more than that in the single-balloon dilatation group (P < 0.05). The bone cement leakage rate was lower in the double-balloon dilatation group,but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). No significant differences in VAS score and ODI were found between the 2 groups at 1 day and 3,6,and 12 months after operation (P >0.05),but with significant differences in the anterior vertebral height and kyphosis Cobb angle (P < 0.05). During the follow-up,2 cases of complication occurred in the double-balloon dilatation group,but 6 cases of complication occurred in the single-balloon dilatation group. Conclusion Double-balloon dilation in percutaneous kyphoplasty for elderly patients with severe OVCF can effectively alleviate clinical symptoms and reduce complications,which is an effective method for the treatment of severe OVCF.
