Background/aims The reciprocal promotion of cancer and stroke occurs due to changes in shared risk factors, such as metabolic pathways and molecular targets, creating a “vicious cycle.” Cancer plays a direct or indirect role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke (IS), along with the reactive medical approach used in the treatment and clinical management of IS patients, resulting in clinical challenges associated with occult cancer in these patients. The lack of reliable and simple tools hinders the effectiveness of the predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM/3PM) approach. Therefore, we conducted a multicenter study that focused on multiparametric analysis to facilitate early diagnosis of occult cancer and personalized treatment for stroke associated with cancer. Methods Admission routine clinical examination indicators of IS patients were retrospectively collated from the electronic medical records. The training dataset comprised 136 IS patients with concurrent cancer, matched at a 1:1 ratio with a control group. The risk of occult cancer in IS patients was assessed through logistic regression and five alternative machine-learning models. Subsequently, select the model with the highest predictive efficacy to create a nomogram, which is a quantitative tool for predicting diagnosis in clinical practice. Internal validation employed a ten-fold cross-validation, while external validation involved 239 IS patients from six centers. Validation encompassed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, decision curve analysis (DCA), and comparison with models from prior research. Results The ultimate prediction model was based on logistic regression and incorporated the following variables: regions of ischemic lesions, multiple vascular territories, hypertension, D-dimer, fibrinogen (FIB), and hemoglobin (Hb). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the nomogram was 0.871 in the training dataset and 0.834 in the external test dataset. Both calibration curves and DCA underscored the nomogram’s strong performance. Conclusions The nomogram enables early occult cancer diagnosis in hospitalized IS patients and helps to accurately identify the cause of IS, while the promotion of IS stratification makes personalized treatment feasible. The online nomogram based on routine clinical examination indicators of IS patients offered a cost-effective platform for secondary care in the framework of PPPM.
AIM:The carotid sinuses and aortic arch are baroreceptor-resident arteries (BRAs) and atherosclerosis-susceptible sites of brain-supplying arteries, which would impair baroreflex-mediated blood pressure (BP) regulation and prompt coronary atherosclerosis. We sought to determine the relationship between total atherosclerosis burden (TAB) of BRAs and coronary atherosclerosis burden (AB) in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) and explore the potential contribution of BP profiles to this relationship.METHODS:In this cross-sectional analysis of patients with ICVD who simultaneously undertook computed tomography angiography and 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring, TAB of BRAs was scored based on the atherosclerotic vessel circumference ratio of the carotid sinuses and aortic arch, while the ABs of the intracranial, cervical, aortic, and coronary arteries were scored based on stenosis severity and plaque complexity as routine.RESULTS:Among the 230 patients analyzed, coronary AB was significantly correlated with TAB of BRAs, independently of, and more tightly than the ABs of the intracranial, cervical, and aortic arteries, and the stenosis- and complexity-based AB of BRA-located arteries (bilateral common and extracranial internal carotid arteries and aortic arch). Both coronary AB and TAB of BRAs were negatively associated with the night-to-day BP dipping ratios, which was quite different from the relationship between intracranial AB and 24-hour BP characteristics. These findings were also true for patients with ICVD without a history of coronary artery disease.CONCLUSION:Evaluating TAB of BRAs might provide a new link between atherosclerosis of brain- and heart-supplying arteries, connected partially by BP circadian rhythm. It might facilitate identifying patients with ICVD with heavy coronary AB and comprehensively managing vascular risk.

BackgroundAtherosclerosis of brain- and heart-supplying arteries (BHAs) are risk indicators for patients with ischemic stroke, but the atherosclerosis burden (AB) of intracranial, cervical, aortic, and coronary arteries in each and in total have not been simultaneously evaluated, and the associations with vascular risk remain unknown. Methods and ResultsWith computed tomography angiography, single-territory AB was triple ranked on the basis of the number of arterial segments with a significant atherosclerotic lesion. The total AB (TAB) of BHAs was triple ranked on the basis of the number of arterial territories with a significant atherosclerotic lesion, or according to the sum of 4 single-territory AB rank-scores. After a 12-month follow-up of 395 patients with ischemic stroke, a composite outcome of ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death occurred in 10.9%. The single-territory AB of intracranial, cervical, aortic, and coronary arteries showed distinct strata patterns and different associations with vascular risk. The score-based TAB of BHAs predicted vascular risk (crude hazard ratios [95% CIs]: per level increase, 2.35 [1.54-3.58]; median versus low, 3.37 [1.45-7.82]; high versus low, 6.00 [2.36-15.24]) independently of vascular risk factors and single-territory AB, providing more prognostic information than the TAB of BHAs measured by the number of significantly atherosclerotic territories. Vascular events occurred in 3.0%, 13.6%, and 22.6% of patients in the low (41.8%), median (44.8%), and high (13.4%) strata of the score-based TAB of BHAs, respectively. ConclusionsThe single-territory AB of intracranial, cervical, aortic, or coronary arteries might be not reliable for vascular risk stratification in patients with ischemic stroke, and evaluating the TAB of BHAs by quantitatively integrating the single-territory AB is advisable.

Background. The burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is increasing substantially due to population growth and aging. Determining effective prevention and understanding the underlying mechanisms remain desirable pursuits for increasing the quality of life. As centenarians and their offspring may have genetic advantages, they may present with healthier cardiovascular-related profiles. Methods. We launched a cross-sectional household-based survey of centenarian families, including 253 centenarians, 217 centenarian offspring, and 116 offspring spouses without centenarian parents from county-level Chinese longevity city Rugao. Among offspring and offspring spouses were the following arrangements: 101 paired offspring and offspring spouses who lived together, 116 unpaired offspring, and 16 unpaired spouses. We investigated their cardiovascular-related health status including waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and plasma lipids and compared results among centenarians, centenarian offspring, and offspring spouses. Results. Centenarians ranged from 99 to 109 years with a median age of 100 years. Centenarian offspring, with a median age of 70 years, and offspring spouses, with a median age of 69 years, shared similar age. Results of blood pressure, plasma lipid levels, and BMI displayed no significant difference between centenarian offspring and offspring spouses. However, centenarians appeared to have lower waist circumference, BMI, TC, LDL-C, TG, and diastolic blood pressure but higher levels of systolic blood pressure (p<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed the prevalence of obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia was similar between centenarian offspring and offspring spouses, while centenarians appeared to have a lower prevalence of obesity and a higher prevalence of hypertension (p<0.05). Conclusions. Centenarians and centenarian offspring did not present healthier BMI, blood pressure, or plasma lipids than offspring spouses. Further research on longevity and cardiovascular diseases are desirable.
Objective . The aim of the study is to analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with H-type hypertension complicated with other chronic diseases in a community in Beijing and to explore the influencing factors related to the occurrence of the disease by means of a case-control study. Methods . A questionnaire was designed. 362 residents with H-type hypertension in a community in Beijing were randomly enrolled from January 2020 to December 2021. The general data and clinical indexes of the patients were collected and their clinical characteristics were analyzed. According to the complications of other chronic diseases, they were divided into the simple hypertension group ( n = 65) and the other chronic disease group ( n = 297). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to analyze the influencing factors for H-type hypertension patients with other chronic diseases. Results . Among the 362 H-type hypertension patients, 21 cases were aged 35–45 years, 35 cases were aged 45–55 years, and 127 cases were aged 55–65 years. The number of patients aged ≥65 years was 179, and the number of patients aged ≥55 years accounted for the highest proportion with a constituent ratio of 85.00%. Only 65 patients were patients with simple hypertension. The remaining 297 patients were complicated with different kinds of chronic diseases. The types of chronic diseases include malignant tumors, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, coronary heart disease, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and stroke. The proportion of H-type hypertension complicated with coronary heart disease, diabetes, and stroke is higher. Among the 297 patients, most of them were local, resident, and nonagricultural patients with a constituent ratio of 89.90%, 95.96%, and 98.98%, respectively. The prevalence rate of the male was 59.60% higher than that of the female at 40.40%. The blood types B and AB were more common. 90.57% of patients were married and the proportion of body mass index (BMI) was 45.79%. 60.61% of patients had a history of smoking, 55.56% had a history of drinking, 35.02% had a regular physical examination, 14.81% had regular exercise, and 37.71% had a light diet. There were significant differences in marital status, smoking, alcohol consumption, regular exercise, and light diet between the simple hypertension group and the chronic disease group ( P < 0.05). The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that smoking, drinking, little exercise, and not eating lightly were the independent risk factors for other chronic diseases ( P < 0.05). Conclusion . The incidence of H-type hypertension is higher in people ≥55 years old. Most of them are accompanied by three other chronic diseases: smoking, drinking, little exercise, and no light diet are also risk factors for chronic diseases.

Objective To evaluate the safety of initiating and maintaining propranolol therapy for infantile hemangioma (IH) and the safety of different doses. Methods The retrospective analysis included 336 consecutive cases of infants with IH treated between January 2016 and October 2017. The patients were assessed in the hospital at the initiation of the therapy and later in outpatient settings during the therapy. The monitoring included blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), blood glucose, hepatic and renal function, myocardial enzymes and serum lipids. Cardiac examinations in the outpatient follow-up included electrocardiography, ultrasound echocardiography, height, weight and head circumference. Results Propranolol decreased BP and HR at the initiation of treatment. The incidences of sinus bradycardia and hypoglycemia increased with the time of administration. Mean height, weight and head circumference were not affected during the treatment. The incidence of PR prolongation was 0%-5.7%. The effect of propranolol on the cardiovascular system, metabolism and physical development was not affected by its dose. Conclusion Oral propranolol is a safe treatment for IH. Serious side effects were not observed. Attention should be paid to the side effects during clinical treatment.
With the full implementation of the separation policy of medicine in China, the circulation of drugs in hospitals no longer produces direct economic value, but turns into the operating cost in the process of providing medical services. The research on the cost calculation of hospital pharmaceutical service can not only help the hospital to strengthen the internal cost management, but also provide the basis for the government policy compensation. This paper constructed a model of pharmaceutical service cost calculation based on job analysis, and produced basic pharmaceutical and advanced pharmaceutical service cost based on the data of a sample hospital.

Background: Instable blood pressure (BP) increased vascular risk independently of high BP level, which might be partially attributed to impaired arterial baroreflex. The receptors of baroreflex mainly distributed at carotid sinuses and aortic arch, where atherosclerosis (AS) is common in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) and potentially blunts the baroreflex. We aimed to test whether AS conditions of carotid sinuses and aortic arch would equally indicate BP instability in IS patients. Methods: The daytime and nighttime standard derivations (SDs) of systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) were recorded by ambulatory BP monitoring on the sixth day after IS to measure BP stability (higher SD indicates less stability). Using computed tomography angiography, AS conditions of carotid sinuses (6 segments) and aortic arch (4 segments) were scored based on AS percentage of each segment circumference (0, none; 1, <25%; 2, 25%~49%; 3, 50%~74%; 4, ≥75%) and summed into “carotid sinuses AS burden (CSAB)” and “aortic arch AS burden (AAAB)”. AS conditions of cervicocephalic arteries were also scored. Results: Of the 245 patients with IS, 65.7% had carotid sinuses AS and 69.4% had aortic arch AS. Daytime SBP SD was positively correlated with CSAB ( r =0.230; P <0.001) rather than AAAB ( P =0.103). Patients with CSAB above the median had significantly higher daytime SBP SD than those with less CSAB (median 14 mmHg vs. 12 mmHg, P =0.001). CSAB remained related to ln- transformed daytime SBP SD after adjusting for age, sex, vascular risk factors, weighted 24-hour means of SBP and DBP, and cervicocephalic AS score (adjusted B =0.012; 95% CI, 0.004-0.020). In contrast, DBP SD and nighttime SBP SD had no statistically significant association with both CSAB and AAAB. Conclusions: Higher CSAB was independently associated with SBP instability during the daytime, while AAAB was less relevant to BP stability. Compared with AAAB, evaluating CSAB might be more important in the prediction of BP instability.

A total of 207 general practitioners who participated in the "Beijing-Hong Kong Community Health Service Training Demonstration Center Project" training from 2013 to 2017 were selected for this questionnaire survey. A self-designed questionnaire was used, which contained the basic information of the trainees, the training purpose, the shortcomings of training, the satisfaction and suggestions for training. Total 192 valid questionnaires were retrieved with a recovery rate of 92.8%. The in-depth personal interviews were conducted among 8 trainees who served as key trainers in community health service centers and 4 managers from their institutions, to investigate the subsequent application of the learning results after they returning to work. The survey showed that the reasons of participating in training were knowledge updates (165, 85.94%), competence requirements (128, 66.67%), and due to administration decision (127, 66.15%). The highest comprehensive scores of training needs were improvement of general practice thinking ability (4.63), followed by clinical diagnosis and treatment ability (4.44), and general practice skills (3.97). For teaching contents, participants were most interested in diagnosis ability (4.03) and clinical operative techniques (3.20). For the training form, the participants more favored the case discussion method (80.73%, 155/192), clinical practice (52.08%, 100/192) and community practice (38.02%,73/192). The trainees were highly satisfied with the overall training organization, training time, training form, and training teachers of the Beijing-Hong Kong training project, and had a good grasp of the training content. Half of trainees (97, 50.52%) thought that the main shortcomings of training was the discrepancy between training content and practical work. Interviewees showed that after the training, the team management, communication skills and disease management ability for some minor specialties had been significantly improved; the enthusiasm for scientific research had been stimulated; they had a certain managerial thinking; and were able to apply what they leant in community health service. In summary, the training project has reached the initial training goals to promote the comprehensive ability of trainees.
By comparing the proportion of hospital pharmaceutical functions and work contents of different levels of pharmaceutical professionals at home and abroad, the authors divided pharmaceutical care in medical institutions into basic pharmaceutical care based on drug management and advanced pharmaceutical care based on drug treatment. Different pharmaceutical service levels created different pharmaceutical service values. Pharmaceutical classification service can stimulate the work potential of pharmaceutical professionals at all levels, improve the service level of pharmacists, and provide basis for the better distribution of medical costs in China.

Objective We aimed to investigate the involvement of the endocytosis of occludin, a key component of tight junction (TJ), in the ethanol-induced disassembly of TJ in a model of alcoholic steatohepatitis. Methods Wild-type mice were fed an ethanol-containing or isocaloric liquid diet for 8 weeks and then assessed for liver injury (histopathology and measurement of serum enzymes), gut permeability (in vivo lactulose/mannitol and ex vivo dye leakage assays), intestinal epithelium ultrastructure (transmission electron microscopy), and intestinal occludin localization (immunofluorescence microscopy). The human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2 was also analyzed in vitro for the effects of ethanol on the barrier function (transepithelial electrical resistance), occludin localization (immunofluorescence microscopy and Western blotting), and endocytosis pathways (double-labeling immunofluorescence microscopy with selective pathway inhibitors). Results The ethanol-fed mice developed steatohepatitis and displayed intestinal barrier dysfunction, the disruption of intestinal TJ, and enhanced intestinal endocytosis of occluding compared with the control mice. In the Caco-2 monolayers, ethanol treatment decreased transepithelial electrical resistance, disrupted TJ formation, and enhanced occludin endocytosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner. These deleterious events were reversed by pretreating the Caco-2 cells with a selective pharmacological inhibitor of macropinocytosis, but not with the inhibitors of clathrin or caveolin-mediated endocytic pathways. Conclusion Chronic ethanol exposure may increase intestinal permeability by inducing the micropinocytosis of occludin, resulting in the disruption of intestinal TJ.
Aim Spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) caused by ruptured cerebral aneurysm is a severe subtype of haemorrhagic stroke. Although the incidence of SAH is relatively low among all cerebrovascular diseases, the mortality is the highest. The critical management of SAH is challenging. We provide this evidence-based guideline to present current and comprehensive recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of non-trauma SAH. Methods A formal literature search of MEDLINE (1 January 1990-30 June 2019) was performed. Data were synthesised with the use of evidence tables. Writing group members met by teleconference to discuss data-derived recommendations. The Chinese Stroke Association's levels of evidence grading algorithm was used to grade each recommendation. The guideline draft was reviewed by Chinese Stroke Association's Stroke Fellow Committees. It is intended that this guideline be fully updated every 3 years. Results Evidence-based guidelines are presented for the care of patients presenting with non-trauma SAH. The focus of the guideline was subdivided into transfer and systems of care, diagnosis flowchart, aetiology and differentiation, prevention of rebleeding, surgical and endovascular repair of ruptured aneurysms, management of vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischaemia, management of hydrocephalus, management of seizures and management of medical complications. Conclusions The guideline offers a framework for SAH management. Early professional and aggressive care of SAH might help dramatically.
With the constant growth of national investment in science and technology,biomedical scientific and technological achievements keep mushrooming.Hospitals,as a powerful force in high-tech research and development,experimental translation and industrialization of biomedicine research,play an important role in the transfer and translation of scientific and technological achievements.This paper analyzed the conflicts of interest in the achievements translation in hospitals,and considered that conflicts of interest are widespread in practice.Under the background of encouraging innovation and promoting the achievements translation,projects with conflicts of interest should be carried out in hospitals conditionally.While reducing the conflicts of interest,the achievements translation should be done properly.
