Objective:To evaluate the effect of stratified management of cardiovascular diseases risk in community population based on China-PAR.Methods:It was a single arm study. Beijing Jiaotong University faculty and staff who participated in annual health check-up from 2019 to 2021 and met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. The general data, physical examination and laboratory test results, including age, residence region, waist circumference, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),blood pressure (BP), taking antihypertensive drugs,diabetes, family history of cardiovascular diseases,were collected. Participants were stratified according to China-PAR assessment model and then stratified management was carried out. For low-risk populations, family doctors provided online guidance or outpatient follow-up if necessary after their first interview. For middle and high-risk groups, outpatient and telephone follow-up were arranged in addition to online guidance. Relevant examinations were completed and drug treatment or adjustment were given by doctors when necessary. Frequency of outpatient follow-up for middle and high-risk groups was different and patients in these two groups were scored again at the end of 2-year follow-up.Results:A total 284 participants were enrolled,197 participants (69.4%) were males with a age of (46.9±8.8) years. Among them, 205 participants (72.2%) were in low-risk group, including 136 males (66.3%), and their 10-year risk of cardiovascular diseases was (2.5±0.1)%; 59 participants (20.8%) were in middle-risk group, including 43 males (72.9%), and their 10-year risk of cardiovascular diseases was (7.1±0.2)%;20 participants (7.0%) were in high-risk group,including 18 males (90.0%) and their 10-year risk of cardiovascular diseases was (14.0±1.1)%. After 2 years follow-up, the proportion of dietary imbalances and alcohol drinking, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting glucose levels and risk score decreased significantly in high risk group ( P<0.05). The proportion of dietary imbalances, waist circumference, blood pressure, total cholesterol, and LDL-C levels decreased significantly in medium risk group ( P<0.05). In high-risk group, 2 participants (10.0%) converted to low-risk, 8 participants (40.0%) converted to middle-risk. In middle-risk group, 5 participants (8.5%) converted to low-risk and 7 participants (11.9%) converted to high-risk. Conclusion:The risk factors and risk stratification of cardiovascular disease in community population can be improved by stratified management based on China-PAR risk assessment model.

This paper aims to investigate the effects and mechanisms of adipose-derived stem cells-exosomes(ADSCs-exos) toge-ther with aucubin in protecting human-derived nucleus pulposus cells(NPCs) from inflammatory injury, senescence, and apoptosis. The tert-butyl hydroperoxide(TBHP)-induced NPCs were assigned into normal, model, aucubin, ADSCs-exos, and aucubin+ADSCs-exos groups. The cell viability was examined by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8), cell proliferation by EdU staining, cell senescence by senescence-associated-β-galactosidase(SA-β-Gal), and cell cycle and apoptosis by flow cytometry. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to examine the expression of interleukin-1β(IL-1β), IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α). Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot were employed to determine the mRNA and protein levels of aggregated proteoglycan(aggrecan), type Ⅱ collagen alpha 1(COL2A1), Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4), and nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB). The results showed that compared with the model group, the aucubin or ADSCs-exos group showed enhanced viability and proliferation of NPCs, decreased proportion of G_0/G_1 phase cells, increased proportion of S phase cells, reduced apoptosis and proportion of cells in senescence, lowered IL-1β and TNF-α levels, elevated IL-10 level, down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of TLR4 and NF-κB, and up-regulated mRNA and protein levels of aggrecan and COL2A1. Compared with the aucubin or ADSCs-exos group, the aucubin+ADSCs-exos combination further increased the viability and proliferation of NPCs, decreased the proportion of G_0/G_1 phase cells, increased the proportion of S phase cells, reduced the apoptosis and proportion of cells in senescence, lowered the IL-1β and TNF-α levels, elevated the IL-10 level, down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of TLR4 and NF-κB, and up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of aggrecan and COL2A1. In summary, both aucubin and ADSCs-exos could exert protective effects by inhibiting inflammatory responses, reducing apoptosis and senescence of NPCs, improving cell viability and proliferation as well as extracellular matrix synthesis, which may be associated with the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway activation. The combination of both plays a synergistic role in the protective effects.

Objective To compare the bispectral index score ( BIS) correlationbetween standard frontal sensor position and an alternative zygomatic position under general anesthesia with propofol combined with remifentanil during neurosurgery. Methods Twenty patients undergoing neurosurgery were enrolled. Everyone received total intravenous anesthesia by target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil. Two BISTM Quatro sensors mounted on the frontal and zygomatic regions were connected to BIS VistaTM monitors on each patient during general anesthesia.Data from each position were collected and analyzed at the time of awakening ( t1 ) , intubation ( t2 ) , incision ( t3 ) , the end of surgery ( t4 ) , and extubation ( t5 ) . Results At t1 , zygomatic BIS(88.95±6.42) was significantly lower than frontal BIS (84.85±9.64,P0.05). Scatter plot analysis revealed a significant correlation between BIS of frontal positionand that of zygomatic position( R2=0.892,P=0.000) . Conclusion During the anesthesia maintenance period,the zygomatic position can be availably used as an alternative position for monitoring if the operative field renders the standard frontal position unavailable.

Objective:To explore the causes of the maintenance of smoking behaviors in male patient with chronic schizophrenia.Methods:Totally 188 male,smoking patients with chronic schizophrenia,meeting with the criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition (DSM-IV),above 5-year course of disease,taken a steady dosage of antipsychotics for 3 months,and 61 healthy smoking men were collected according to the voluntary principles.The psychopathologic symptoms and the dependence of cigarette of all patients were as- sessed with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS)and the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND),the Russell's Smoking Motivation Questionnaire (SMQ)was used to investigate the causes for maintai-ning behaviors of smoking in patients and healthy controls respectively.Results:The sedative item scores of SMQ were lower in patient group than in the controls [3 (0,9)vs.6 (0,9),P <0.001],and other scores of subscales had no significant difference compared with control.Heavy dependence happened in patient group slightly less than health controls (2.7%vs.8.2%,P <0.05).The total scores of FTND were positively correlated with the doses of antipsychotics (chlorpromazine equivalent)(r =0.22,P <0.01).The scores of total (β=0.22),automatic (β=0.27)and sedative (β=0.37)items in patient group were less than controls (Ps <0.001)by multi-factors step-wise Linear regression analysis.Conclusion:Compared with general smokers,lower need for sedation,less heavy dependence and motivation in smoking patients might be correlated with the strict management for inpatients smok-ing,social-psychological factors and culture background in China.
