Abstract There is no reliable causal evidence for the effect of statins on diabetic nephropathy (DN) and diabetic retinopathy (DR), and the results of previous observational studies are contradictory. Genetic variants linked to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from a UK biobank genome-wide association study and located within a 100kb window around HMGCR were used to proxy statins, comparing with PCSK9 inhibitors (control). DN and DR genome-wide association study summary statistics were obtained from the FinnGen study. Secondary MR analyses and NHANES cross-sectional data were used for validation. Drug-target Mendelian randomization (MR) was applied to investigate the association between the genetically proxied inhibition of HMGCR and PCSK9 with DN and DR, p

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) should further reduce the platinum consumption to lower their manufacturing costs and life-cycle carbon emissions. However, the performance of the catalyst layers with low-Pt loading needs to be improved. Short-side-chain (SSC) ionomers have been proven to enhance the catalytic activity of conventional catalyst layers. In this work, the SSC ionomer was applied to the electrospun catalyst layer, and achieved a remarkable improvement in the performance. With the use of commercially available catalyst, the membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) prepared in this work exhibited a low total-Pt-consumption of 0.064 g kW−1 (stoichiometric ratios of 1.5/2.5 for H2/air, 80°C, 100 kPa) and achieved the 2025 target proposed by the US Department of Energy. Separating activation, ohmic, and concentration overpotentials, the performance enhancement of the electrospun catalyst layer mainly came from the decrease of ohmic overpotential and concentration overpotential. The electrospun ionomer membrane without catalyst was used as a research model to explore the proton transport properties inside the electrospun catalyst layer. The results showed that in the range of PEMFC operating temperature, the proton conductivity of the electrospun catalyst layer could be higher, but meanwhile the proton-conduction activation energy was also elevated. Compared with the conventional catalyst layer, the electrospun catalyst layer showed obviously better performance before and after accelerated stress test, thus verifying the practicality of the electrospun catalyst layers. This work provided a reference for the development of low platinum and high performance catalyst layers.

Abstract Nowadays, the depletion of non‐renewable energy sources has become a prominent issue, and environmental concerns such as air pollution stemming from vehicle emissions have reached a critical stage. In this manuscript, we introduce a novel approach for the fabrication of Pt/C catalysts on a large scale, utilizing a simple, rapid, and continuous pipeline microwave synthesis method. Moreover, we incorporate a heating treatment process in an N2−H2 (5 % H2) environment to enhance the activity and durability of the catalyst. The synthesized Pt/C‐400 catalyst demonstrates an impressive electrochemical active surface area of 103.2 m2/gpt and a mass‐specific activity of 315 mA/mg at a half‐wave potential of 0.9 V. Following 30000 cycles of Pt attenuation testing and 30000 cycles of carrier attenuation testing, the Pt/C‐400 catalyst exhibits a remarkable retention rate of 75 %. Furthermore, based on single‐cell testing, the Pt/C‐400 catalyst achieves a voltage of 0.606 V at a current density of 2000 mA/cm2, surpassing the performance of other Pt/C catalysts discussed in this article. This study presents an efficient and practical method for large‐scale synthesis of high‐performance and durable catalysts. The findings hold significant implications for the commercialization of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells and contribute to addressing the pressing need for sustainable energy solutions.

Abstact: Objective: To examine the joint association of healthy lifestyles and statin use with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in high-risk individuals, and evaluate the survival benefits by life expectancy. Methods: During 2015–2021, participants aged 35–75 years were recruited by the China Health Evaluation And risk Reduction through nationwide Teamwork. Based on number of healthy lifestyles related to smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity, and diet, we categorized them into: very healthy (3–4), healthy (2), and unhealthy (0–1). Statin use was determined by self-report taking statin in last two weeks. Results: Among the 265,209 included participants at high risk, 6979 deaths were observed, including 3236 CVD deaths during a median 3.6 years of follow-up. Individuals taking statin and with a very healthy lifestyle had the lowest risk of all-cause (HR: 0.70; 95 %CI: 0.57–0.87) and cardiovascular mortality (0.56; 0.40–0.79), compared with statin non-users with an unhealthy lifestyle. High-risk participants taking statin and with a very healthy lifestyle had the highest years of life gained (5.90 years at 35-year-old [4.14–7.67; P < 0.001]) compared with statin non-users with an unhealthy lifestyle among high-risk people. And their life expectancy was comparable with those without high risk but with a very healthy lifestyle (4.49 vs. 4.68 years). Conclusion: The combination of preventive medication and multiple healthy lifestyles was associated with lower risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and largest survival benefits. Integrated strategy to improve long-term health for high-risk people was urgently needed.

Background Knowledge gaps remain in how gender‐related socioeconomic inequality affects sex disparities in cardiovascular diseases (CVD) prevention and outcome. Methods and Results Based on a nationwide population cohort, we enrolled 3 737 036 residents aged 35 to 75 years (2014–2021). Age‐standardized sex differences and the effect of gender‐related socioeconomic inequality (Gender Inequality Index) on sex disparities were explored in 9 CVD prevention indicators. Compared with men, women had seemingly better primary prevention (aspirin usage: relative risk [RR], 1.24 [95% CI, 1.18–1.31] and statin usage: RR, 1.48 [95% CI, 1.39–1.57]); however, women's status became insignificant or even worse when adjusted for metabolic factors. In secondary prevention, the sex disparities in usage of aspirin (RR, 0.65 [95% CI, 0.63–0.68]) and statin (RR, 0.63 [95% CI, 0.61–0.66]) were explicitly larger than disparities in usage of angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (RR, 0.88 [95% CI, 0.84–0.91]) or β blockers (RR, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.63–0.71]). Nevertheless, women had better hypertension awareness (RR, 1.09 [95% CI, 1.09–1.10]), similar hypertension control (RR, 1.01 [95% CI, 1.00–1.02]), and lower CVD mortality (hazard ratio, 0.46 [95% CI, 0.45–0.47]). Heterogeneities of sex disparities existed across all subgroups. Significant correlations existed between regional Gender Inequality Index values and sex disparities in usage of angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (Spearman correlation coefficient, r=−0.57, P=0.0013), hypertension control (r=−0.62, P=0.0007), and CVD mortality (r=0.45, P=0.014), which remained significant after adjusting for economic factors. Conclusions Notable sex disparities remain in CVD prevention and outcomes, with large subgroup heterogeneities. Gendered socioeconomic factors could reinforce such disparities. A sex‐specific perspective factoring in socioeconomic disadvantages could facilitate more targeted prevention policy making.

Background The age‐related trends in the predictive ability of carotid intima‐media thickness (CIMT) for cardiovascular risk remain unclear. We aimed to identify the age‐related trends in the predictive value of CIMT for cardiovascular death. Methods and Results In a prospective cohort of adults aged 35 to 75 years without history of cardiovascular disease who were enrolled between 2014 and 2020, we measured CIMT at baseline and collected the vital status and cause of death. We divided the study population into 4 age groups (35–44, 45–54, 55–64, and 65–75 years). Competing risk models were fitted to estimate the associations between CIMT and cardiovascular death. The added values of CIMT in prediction were assessed by the differences of the Harrell's concordance index and the net reclassification improvement index. We included 369 478 adults and followed them for a median of 4.7 years. A total of 4723 (1.28%) cardiovascular deaths occurred. After adjusting for the traditional risk factors, the hazard ratios for CIMTmean per SD decreased with age, from 1.27 (95% CI, 1.17–1.37) in the 35 to 44 years age group to 1.14 (95% CI, 1.10–1.19) in the 65 to 75 years age group (P for interaction

Abstract Aims We aimed to demonstrate the distribution of alcohol use disorder (AUD) in China and assess its association with quality of life and mortality. Methods We studied 367 120 men aged 35–75 years from 31 provinces in the China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events (PEACE) Million Persons Project. At baseline, AUD was assessed by alcohol use disorders identification test score, and EQ-5D-3L questionnaire was used to measure the quality of life. Mortality data was collected via National Mortality Surveillance System and Vital Registration. Mixed models were fitted to assess the associations of AUD with quality of life, and Cox proportional hazard models were fitted for the associations with all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Results We identified 39 163 men with AUD, which accounted for 10.7% of male participants and 25.8% of male drinkers. In the multivariable analysis, male drinkers who were aged 45–54 years, with higher education level, currently smoking, obese, with diagnosed hypertension, and without diagnosed cardiovascular diseases had higher rates of AUD. Male drinkers with AUD were less likely to have optimal QOL compared with those without AUD (OR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.61–0.65, P

Abstract Background Healthy lifestyle behaviours are effective means to reduce the burden of diseases. This study was aimed to fill the knowledge gaps on the distribution, associated factors, and potential health benefits on mortality of four healthy lifestyle behaviours in China. Methods During 2015–2019, participants aged 35–75 years from 31 provinces were recruited by the China PEACE Million Persons Project. Four healthy lifestyle behaviours were investigated in our study, including non-smoking, none or moderate alcohol use, sufficient leisure time physical activity (LTPA), and healthy diet. Results Among 903,499 participants, 74.1% were non-smokers, 96.0% had none or moderate alcohol use, 23.6% had sufficient LTPA, 11.1% had healthy diet, and only 2.8% had all the four healthy lifestyle behaviours. The adherence varied across seven regions; the highest median of county-level adherence to all the four healthy lifestyle behaviours was in North China (3.3%) while the lowest in the Southwest (0.8%) (p

BackgroundElevated blood pressure (BP) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality in stroke survivors. China has the highest prevalence of stroke survivors and accounts for one-third of stroke-related deaths worldwide. We aimed to describe the prevalence and treatment of elevated BP across age, sex, and region, and assess the mortality attributable to elevated BP among stroke survivors in China.Materials and methodsBased on 3,820,651 participants aged 35–75 years from all 31 provinces in mainland China recruited from September 2014 to September 2020, we assessed the prevalence and treatment of elevated BP (systolic BP ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg) among those with self-reported stroke and stratified by age group, sex, and geographic region. We estimated the age- and sex-specific population attributable fractions of death from elevated BP.ResultsAmong 91,406 stroke survivors, the mean (SD) age was 62 (8) years, and 49.0% were male. The median interquartile range (IQR) stroke duration was 4 (2, 7) years. The prevalence of elevated BP was 61.3% overall, and increased with age (from 47.5% aged 35–44 years to 64.6% aged 65–75 years). The increment of prevalence was larger in female patients than male patients. Elevated BP was more prevalent in northeast (66.8%) and less in south (54.3%) China. Treatment rate among patients with elevated BP was 38.1%, and rates were low across all age groups, sexes, and regions. Elevated BP accounted for 33 and 21% of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality among stroke survivors, respectively. The proportion exceeded 50% for cardiovascular mortality among patients aged 35–54 years.ConclusionIn this nationwide cohort of stroke survivors from China, elevated BP and its non-treatment were highly prevalent across all age groups, sexes, and regions. Elevated BP accounted for nearly one-third cardiovascular mortality in stroke survivors, and particularly higher in young and middle-aged patients. National strategies targeting elevated BP are warranted to address the high stroke burden in China.

BackgroundIndividual non-cardiac comorbidities are prevalent in HF; however, few studies reported how the aggregate burden of non-cardiac comorbidities affects long-term outcomes, and it is unknown whether this burden is associated with changes in health status.AimsTo assess the association of the overall burden of non-cardiac comorbidities with clinical outcomes and quality of life (QoL) in patients hospitalized for heart failure (HF).MethodsWe prospectively enrolled patients hospitalized for HF from 52 hospitals in China. Eight key non-cardiac comorbidities [diabetes, chronic renal disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), anemia, stroke, cancer, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and liver cirrhosis] were included, and patients were categorized into four groups: none, one, two, and three or more comorbidities. We fitted Cox proportional hazards models to assess the burden of comorbidities on 1-year death and rehospitalization.ResultsOf the 4,866 patients, 25.3% had no non-cardiac comorbidity, 32.2% had one, 22.9% had two, and 19.6% had three or more in China. Compared with those without non-cardiac comorbidities, patients with three or more comorbidities had higher risks of 1-year all-cause death [heart rate, HR 1.89; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.48–2.39] and all-rehospitalization (HR 1.35; 95%CI 1.15–1.58) after adjustment. Although all patients with HF experienced a longitudinal improvement in QoL in the 180 days after discharge, those with three or more non-cardiac comorbidities had an unadjusted 11.4 (95%CI −13.4 to −9.4) lower Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) scores than patients without comorbidities. This difference decreased to −6.4 (95%CI −8.6 to −4.2) after adjustment for covariates.ConclusionAmong patients hospitalized with HF in this study, a higher burden of non-cardiac comorbidities was significantly associated with worse health-related QoL (HRQoL), increased risks of death, and rehospitalization post-discharge. The findings highlight the need to address the management of comorbidities effectively in standardized HF care.

BackgroundLipid-lowering therapy (LLT) is one of the key strategies for reducing the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) burden. However, little is known about the percentage of people in need of different LLT regimens to achieve optimal targets of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and the corresponding cost and benefit.MethodsWe conducted a simulation study based on the data from the nationwide China PEACE MPP population cohort (2015–2020), from which we included 2,904,914 participants aged 35–75 years from all the 31 provinces in mainland China. Participants were grouped based on their 10-year ASCVD risks, then entered into a Monte Carlo model which was used to perform LLT intensification simulation scenarios to achieve corresponding LDL-C goals in each risk stratification.ResultsAfter standardizing age and sex, the proportions of participants included at low, moderate, high, and very-high risk were 70.8%, 15.6%, 11.5%, and 2.1%, respectively. People who failed to achieve the corresponding LDL-C goals −8.1% at low risk, 19.6% at moderate risk, 53.2% at high risk, and 93.6% at very-high risk (either not achieving the goal or not receiving LLT)—would be in need of the LLT intensification simulation. After the use of atorvastatin 20 mg was simulated, over 99% of the population at low or moderate risk could achieve the LDL-C goals; while 11.3% at high and 24.5% at very-high risk would still require additional non-statin therapy. After the additional use of ezetimibe, there were still 4.8% at high risk and 11.3% at very-high risk in need of evolocumab; and 99% of these two groups could achieve the LDL-C goals after the use of evolocumab. Such LLT intensification with statin, ezetimibe, and evolocumab would annually cost $2.4 billion, $4.2 billion, and $24.5 billion, respectively, and prevent 264,170, 18,390, and 17,045 cardiovascular events, respectively.ConclusionsModerate-intensity statin therapy is pivotal for the attainment of optimal LDL-C goals in China, and around 10–25% of high- or very-high-risk patients would require additional non-statin agents. There is an opportunity to reduce the rising ASCVD burden in China by optimizing LLT.

ObjectivesWe aimed to assess the dose–response association between weight gain from young to middle adulthood and odds of metabolic syndrome, across body mass index (BMI) categories at young adulthood.MethodsBased on a national population-based screening project, middle-aged (35–64 years) participants who recalled weight at age 25 years and received standardized measurements were included. Multivariable adjusted restricted cubic splines and logistic regression models were applied.ResultsIn total, 437,849 participants were included (62.1% women, 52.0 ± 7.6 years). Larger weight gains from young to middle adulthood were associated with higher odds of metabolic syndrome at middle adulthood, with odds of 2.01 (1.98–2.05), 1.93 (1.92–1.94), and 1.67 (1.64–1.7) per 5-kg weight gain across participants who were underweight, normal-weight, and overweight/obese at young adulthood, respectively. After further adjusting for current BMI, larger weight gains still correlated with higher odds of metabolic syndrome among underweight and normal-weight participants, while an inverted U-shaped association was observed in overweight/obese participants.ConclusionsWeight maintenance from young to middle adulthood could be effective to mitigate metabolic syndrome burden, especially among underweight and normal-weight people. Historical weight gain confers varied information about metabolic syndrome risk independent of attained BMI across BMI categories at young adulthood.

Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasingly recognized as a major global public health burden and lacks effective risk stratification. We aimed to assess a multi-biomarker model in improving risk prediction in HFpEF.Methods: We analyzed 18 biomarkers from the main pathophysiological domains of HF in 380 patients hospitalized for HFpEF from a prospective cohort. The association between these biomarkers and 2-year risk of all-cause death was assessed by Cox proportional hazards model. Support vector machine (SVM), a supervised machine learning method, was used to develop a prediction model of 2-year all-cause and cardiovascular death using a combination of 18 biomarkers and clinical indicators. The improvement of this model was evaluated by c-statistics, net reclassification improvement (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI).Results: The median age of patients was 71-years, and 50.5% were female. Multiple biomarkers independently predicted the 2-year risk of death in Cox regression model, including N-terminal pro B-type brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-TnT), growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), endoglin, and 3 biomarkers of extracellular matrix turnover [tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, and MMP-9) (FDR < 0.05). The SVM model effectively predicted the 2-year risk of all-cause death in patients with acute HFpEF in training set (AUC 0.834, 95% CI: 0.771–0.895) and validation set (AUC 0.798, 95% CI: 0.719–0.877). The NRI and IDI indicated that the SVM model significantly improved patient classification compared to the reference model in both sets (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Multiple circulating biomarkers coupled with an appropriate machine-learning method could effectively predict the risk of long-term mortality in patients with acute HFpEF. It is a promising strategy for improving risk stratification in HFpEF.

Background: Although increased age is associated with higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) in general, there may be variation across individuals in how SBP changes over time. The goal of this paper is to identify heterogeneity in SBP trajectories among young adults with similar initial values and identify personal characteristics associated with different trajectory patterns. This may have important implications for prevention and prognosis. Methods: A cohort of 12,468 individuals aged 18–35 years in the Qingdao Port Cardiovascular Health Study in China was followed yearly during 2000–2011. Individuals were categorized into three strata according to their baseline SBP: ≤110 mmHg, 111–130 mmHg, and >130 mmHg. Within each stratum, group-based trajectory analyses were conducted to identify distinct SBP trajectory patterns, and their association with sociodemographic and baseline health characteristics was assessed by ordinal logistic regression. Results: Five distinct groups of individuals exhibiting divergent patterns of increasing, stable or decreasing SBP trends were identified within each stratum. This is a first report to identify a subgroup with decreasing trend in SBP. Individuals with more advanced age, having less than high school education, family history of cardiovascular diseases, greater body mass index, greater waist circumference, and hyperlipidemia at baseline were more likely to experience trajectories of higher SBP within each stratum. Conclusions: The diverging trajectories among young adults with similar initial SBP highlight the need for prevention and feasibility of effective blood pressure control, while the identified risk factors may inform targeted interventions.

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the value of copeptin in predicting mortality including both short-term and long-term mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).MethodsPotential studies were searched and selected through PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases up to December 2019. The predictive performance was evaluated by the pooled sensitivity and specificity, and summary receiver operating characteristic curves. Cochran's Q test and I2 index were used to assess between-study heterogeneity, and Deek's test and funnel plots were used to assess publication bias.ResultsTotal six studies comprising 2269 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of copeptin in predicting mortality in patients with ACS was 0.73 (95% CI: 0.69-0.77). The pooled sensitivity and specificity of copeptin were 0.77 (95% CI: 0.59-0.89) and 0.60 (95% CI: 0.47-0.71), respectively. Significant between-study heterogeneity was identified in both sensitivity (P = 0.01; I2 = 69.76%) and specificity (PConclusionsCopeptin has acceptable prognostic value for mortality in patients with ACS. Further studies based on multimarker strategy are needed to evaluate the prognostic value of copeptin for ACS in conjunction with other well-established biomarkers.

BackgroundThe reasons for China's high stroke prevalence are not well understood. The cardiovascular risk factor profiles of China and the United States have not been directly compared in nationally representative population samples. Methods and ResultsUsing data from the CHARLS (China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study) and the NHANES (US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey), we compared cardiovascular risk factors from 2011 to 2012 among people aged 45 to 75 years between the 2 countries (China, 12 654 people; United States, 2607 people): blood pressure, cholesterol, body mass index, waist circumference, fasting plasma glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein. Compared with the United States, China had a lower prevalence of hypertension but a higher mean blood pressure and a higher proportion of patients with severe hypertension (≥160/100 mm Hg) (10.5% versus 4.5%). China had substantially lower rates of hypertension treatment (46.8% versus 77.9%) and control (20.3% versus 54.7%). Dyslipidemia was less common in China, but lipid levels were not significantly different because dyslipidemia awareness and control rates in China were 3‐ and 7‐fold lower than US rates, respectively. High‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein, body mass index, and waist circumference were significantly lower in China than in the United States. Clustering of hypertension with other cardiovascular risk factors was more common in China. ConclusionsHypertension is more common in the United States, but blood pressure levels are higher in China, which may be responsible for China's high stroke prevalence. The low rates of awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension provide an exceptional opportunity for China to reduce risk in its population.

OBJECTIVES: To comprehensively evaluate the association of ERCC1 C8092A and ERCC2 Lys751Gln polymorphisms with the risk of glioma. METHODS: Potential studies were searched and selected through the Pubmed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) platforms, WanFang and VIP database up to June 2013. Two investigators independently reviewed full text and included studies met inclusion criteria. Combined odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated in a fixed-effects model or a random-effects model according to results of heterogeneity test. All analyses were performed by Revman 5.2 and Stata 10.0 software. RESULTS: A total of 10 studies were included in our meta-analysis, including 3,580 glioma patients and 4,728 controls. Overall, ERCC1 C8092A polymorphism was associated with the risk of glioma (AA vs. CC: OR = 1.29, 95%CI: 1.07-1.55, P = 0.01; recessive model: OR = 1.29; 95% CI: 1.07-1.55, P = 0.01). When stratified by ethnicity, significant association was only observed in the Chinese population (AA vs. CC: OR = 1.37, 95%CI: 1.03-1.81, P = 0.03; recessive model: OR = 1.34; 95% CI: 1.02-1.75, P = 0.04). For ERCC2 Lys751Gln polymorphism, no significant association was found between ERCC2 Lys751Gln polymorphism and the risk of glioma in different genetic models. A significant association of ERCC2 Lys751Gln polymorphism with the risk of glioma was identified in the Caucasian population under recessive model (OR = 0.87; 95% CI: 0.78-0.98, P = 0.02), but not in the Chinese population. CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis suggested that the AA genotype of ERCC1 C8092A polymorphism might increase the susceptibility of glioma in the Chinese population. And the TT genotype of ERCC2 Lys751Gln polymorphism may decrease the risk of glioma in the Caucasian population. But the small number of studies and moderate methodological quality require cautious interpretation of the study results.

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
Advancing age is associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and cancer, and shows significant inter-individual variability. To identify ageing-related biomarkers we performed a proteomic analysis on 1890 Chinese Han individuals, 1136 males and 754 females, aged 18 to 82 years, using weak cation exchange magnetic bead based MALDI-TOF-MS analysis. The study identified 44 peptides which varied in concentration in different age groups. In particular, apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA1) concentration gradually increased between 18 to 50 years of age, the levels of fibrinogen alpha (FGA) decreased over the same age span, while albumin (ALB) was significantly degraded in middle-aged individuals. In addition, the plasma peptide profiles of FGA and four other unidentified proteins were found to be gender-dependent. Plasma proteins such as FGA, ALB and ApoA1 are significantly correlated with age in the Chinese Han population and could be employed as indicative ageing-related biomarkers.

- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a major global public health problem, while effective risk stratification tools are still lacking. We sought to construct a multi-mRNA signature to predict 1-year all-cause death. METHODS: We selected 30 patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction who died during 1-year follow-up and 30 who survived in the discovery set. One hundred seventy-one and 120 patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction were randomly selected as a test set and a validation set, respectively. We performed mRNA microarrays in all patients. RESULTS: We constructed a 5-mRNA signature for predicting 1-year all-cause death. The scores of the 5-mRNA signature were significantly associated with the 1-year risk of all-cause death in both the test set (hazard ratio, 2.72 [95% CI, 1.98-3.74]; P<0.001) and the validation set (hazard ratio, 3.95 [95% CI, 2.40-6.48]; P<0.001). Compared with a reference model, which included sex, ASCEND-HF (Acute Study of Clinical Effectiveness of Nesiritide in Decompensated Heart Failure) score, history of HF and NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide), the 5-mRNA signature had a better discrimination capability, with an increased area under the curve from 0.696 to 0.813 in the test set and from 0.712 to 0.848 in the validation set. A composite model integrating the 5-mRNA risk score and variables in the reference model demonstrated an excellent discrimination capability, with an area under the curve of 0.861 (95% CI, 0.784-0.939) in the test set and an area under the curve of 0.859 (95% CI, 0.755-0.963) in the validation set. The net reclassification improvement and integrated discrimination improvement indicated that the composite model significantly improved patient classification compared with the reference model in both sets (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The 5-mRNA signature is a promising predictive tool for 1-year all-cause death and shows improved prognostic power over the established risk scores and NT-proBNP in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Since 2010, China has made vast financial investments and policy changes to the primary care system. We aimed to assess how hypertension awareness, treatment, and control might be used to assess quality of primary care systems, which reflect the outcomes of public health services and medical care.We used The China Patient-centred Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Million Persons Project, a government-funded public health project that focuses on cardiovascular disease risk in China. We linked primary care institution characteristics that were captured in the survey between 2016 and 2017 to the participant-level data gathered in baseline visits between 2014 and 2021. Participants were included if they had hypertension and lived in the towns or streets that took part in the primary care survey. Participants were excluded if they had missing data for blood pressure measurement, history of hypertension, sex, or age. Primary care institutions were excluded if the catchment area had fewer than 100 participants with hypertension. Hypertension awareness was defined as the proportion of participants with hypertension who self-reported a hypertension diagnosis. Hypertension treatment was defined as the proportion of participants who currently use antihypertensive medications among those who were aware. Hypertension control was defined as the proportion of participants with an average systolic blood pressure less than 140 mm Hg and an average diastolic blood pressure less than 90 mm Hg over two readings among those who were treated during the study. All patients were included in the analysis. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02536456.Between Sept 15, 2014, and March 16, 2021, we assessed 503 township-level primary care institutions for eligibility. 70 institutions were excluded as they could not be linked with individual data or because their catchment area had fewer than 100 participants with hypertension. We analysed 433 township-level primary care institutions across all 31 provinces of mainland China, including 660 565 individuals with hypertension in their catchment areas. Across townships, age-sex standardised hypertension awareness varied from 8·2% to 81·0%, treatment varied from 2·6% to 96·5%, and control proportions varied from 0% to 62·4%. Hypertension awareness, treatment, and control were significantly associated with the following institutional characteristics: government funding through balance allocation (ie, institutions have their human resources funded by local government, but need to be self-supporting in other aspects; awareness odds ratio 0·88, 95% CI 0·78-0·99; p=0·027), having financial problems that interrupted routine service delivery (awareness 0·81, 0·72-0·92; p=0·0007, control 0·84; 0·75-0·94, p=0·0034), setting performance-based bonus (treatment 1·39, 1·07-1·80; p=0·013), basic salary defined by number of patient visits (control 0·85, 0·76-0·95; p=0·0053), using electronic referrals (treatment 1·41, 1·14-1·73; p=0·0012, control 1·17; 1·03-1·33, p=0·014), implementing family physician contract services (awareness 1·13, 1·00-1·28; p=0·045, control 1·30; 1·15-1·46, p0·0001), and proportion of physicians who are formally licensed (awareness per 10% increase 1·04, 1·01-1·08; p=0·019, treatment 1·08; 1·02-1·14, p=0·0077; control per 10% increase 1·07, 1·03-1·10; p=0·0006).The role of primary care role in hypertension management might benefit from new strategies that promote best practices in institutional financing, performance appraisal, service delivery, and information technology.Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Innovation Fund for Medical Science, and the National High Level Hospital Clinical Research Funding.For the Chinese translation of the abstract see Supplementary Materials section.

China has been undergoing a rapid urbanisation. There are substantial disparities between old and new urban citizens in access to health care. We aimed to compare cardiovascular disease prevention and death risks among four distinct urban groups.Urban residents aged 35-75 years living in 96 prefecture-level cities from 31 provinces in mainland China were enrolled in the national population-based cohort China Patient-centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Million Persons Project. They were categorised into four groups by their former and current places of residence as follows: old-urban in situ residents (local residents in established urban areas since birth), new-urban in situ residents (local residents in newly urbanised areas established during urbanisation), urban-to-urban migrants (migrants from other urban areas), and rural-to-urban migrants (migrants from rural areas). We excluded participants with missing data for former and current places of residence, medical history, socioeconomic status, or lifestyle information. After adjusting for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, relative risks (RRs) of cardiovascular disease prevention indicators and hazard ratios (HRs) of cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality of the other three population groups were estimated by modified log-Poisson models with robust standard error and Cox proportional hazard models, with old-urban in situ residents as the reference group.From Sept 1, 2015, to Aug 17, 2020, 1 339 329 residents were enrolled, 270 606 were excluded for missing data in key variables, and 1 068 723 were subsequnetly included in the study. Compared with old-urban in situ residents, new-urban in situ residents were less likely to adhere to a healthy diet (RR 0·72 [95% CI 0·62-0·83]), while no significant results were observed in rural-to-urban migrants; new-urban in situ residents were less likely to use statins as primary prevention (RR 0·60 [0·46-0·79]), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs; RR 0·78 [0·65-0·93]) and β-blockers (RR 0·68 [0·53-0·88]) as secondary prevention; and rural-to-urban migrants were less likely to use aspirin as a primary (RR 0·67 [0·46-0·96]) and secondary (RR 0·71 [0·54-0·94]) prevention and statins (RR 0·70 [0·51-0·97]) and ACEIs or ARBs (RR 0·68 [0·50-0·93]) as secondary prevention. Furthermore, in people diagnosed with hypertension, new-urban in situ residents were less likely to have their blood pressure controlled (RR 0·79 [95% CI 0·72-0·87]), while no significant results were observed in rural-to-urban migrants. New-urban in situ residents had higher risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR 1·16 [95% CI 1·05-1·29]; p=0·005) than did old-urban in situ residents, after a median follow-up of 2·7 years (IQR 2·0-4·2).New-urban in situ residents and rural-to-urban migrants both showed poorer utilisation of primary and secondary prevention medications than did old-urban in situ residents, while new-urban in situ residents also had lower adherence to healthy lifestyles and higher death risks. Comprehensive measures should be taken to strengthen the primary health-care system in newly urbanised areas, and promote interprovincial medical insurance reimbursement.Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Innovation Fund for Medical Science and the National High Level Hospital Clinical Research Funding.For the Chinese translation of the abstract see Supplementary Materials section.

Long-term weight loss (LTWL) has been shown to be associated with lower metabolic risk in young adults with overweight/obesity. However, the dose-response association is uncertain.In a large-scale nationwide screening project in China, the participants aged 35 to 64 years who recalled overweight/obesity at age 25 years and experienced LTWL or maintained stable weight were included. The dose-response association between LTWL from age 25 to screening (35 to 64 years) and the odds of metabolic syndrome at screening were assessed using multivariable adjusted regression models with restricted cubic splines.A total of 40,150 participants (66.4% women) were included. The increment of LTWL was associated with continuously decreased odds of metabolic syndrome. The odds of metabolic syndrome were 0.64 (0.60 to 0.67), 0.42 (0.40 to 0.45), 0.27 (0.25 to 0.29), and 0.15 (0.13 to 0.17) for those with LTWL of 5% to 9.9%, 10% to 14.9%, 15% to 19.9%, and 20% or greater compared with5% LTWL, respectively. Moreover, the incremental pattern was observed across all population subgroups.An incremental association between LTWL from young adulthood and odds of later-life metabolic syndrome was observed. Our findings highlight the effective ways to achieve LTWL to improve lifetime metabolic health for young adults with overweight/obesity.

The fluorescent molecule N,N-bis(3',5'–bis(trifluoromethyl)-[1,1'–biphenyl]-4–yl)perylen-3-amine (TFPA) was designed and synthesized by introducing the strong electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group and the strong electron-donating diphenylamino group, with perylene as the core. The structure of the target product was identified by nuclear magnetic resonance, and its UV–vis absorption properties, fluorescence emission properties, quantum yield and lifetime were studied systematically. The results showed that the HOMO of TFPA was mainly localized in the perylene part with a small part localized in the triphenylamine structure. The LUMO was almost localized in the perylene part. Therefore, the ground-state absorption of TFPA is mainly attributed to the π–π* transition accompanied by with little the slight intramolecular charge transfer effect. The maximum emission peak (534 nm) of TFPA in the solid state was 18 nm redshifted compared to that of TFPA in solution (516 nm). TG results show that TFPA still does not decompose at 300 ℃, indicating good thermal stability. In addition, a yellow-light-emitting diode device based on the fluorescent molecule TFPA was constructed (CIE coordinates: 0.45, 0.54). The LED device showed good color purity (color purity: 97.8%). The results showed that TFPA was a luminescent material with excellent thermal stability and high color purity and had potential for use in fabricating yellow LEDs.

Inorganic Chemistry - Abstract
Transition metal complexes (TMCs) with strong and long-lived excited state absorption (ESA) usually exhibit high-performance optical power limiting (OPL) response. Several techniques, such as transmission vs. incident fluence curves and Z-scan have been widely used to assess the OPL performance of typical TMCs. The OPL performance of TMCs is highly molecular structure-dependent. Special emphasis is placed on the structure-OPL response relationships of Pt(II), Ir(III), Ru(II), and other metal complexes. This review concludes with perspectives on the current status of OPL field, as well as opportunities that lie just beyond its frontier.

Subtle ligand modifications on RuII -polypyridyl complexes may result in different excited-state characteristics, which provides the opportunity to tune their photo-physicochemical properties and subsequently change their biological functions. Here, a DNA-targeting RuII -polypyridyl complex (named Ru1) with highly photosensitizing 3 IL (intraligand) excited state was designed based on a classical DNA-intercalator [Ru(bpy)2 (dppz)]⋅2 PF6 by incorporation of the dppz (dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine) ligand tethered with a pyrenyl group, which has four orders of magnitude higher potency than the model complex [Ru(bpy)2 (dppz)]⋅2 PF6 upon light irradiation. This study provides a facile strategy for the design of organelle-targeting RuII -polypyridyl complexes with dramatically improved photobiological activity.

ObjectiveWe aimed to estimate the current use of secondary prevention drugs and identify its associated individual characteristics among those with established cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in the communities of China.MethodsWe studied 2 613 035 participants aged 35–75 years from 8577 communities in 31 provinces in the China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Million Persons Project, a government-funded public health programme conducted from 2014 to 2018. Participants self-reported their history of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) or ischaemic stroke (IS) and medication use in an interview. Multivariable mixed models with a logit link function and community-specific random intercepts were fitted to assess the associations of individual characteristics with the reported use of secondary prevention therapies.ResultsAmong 2 613 035 participants, 2.9% (74 830) reported a history of IHD and/or IS, among whom the reported use rate either antiplatelet drugs or statins was 34.2% (31.5% antiplatelet drugs, 11.0% statins and 8.3% both). Among the 1 530 408 population subgroups, which were defined by all possible permutations of 16 individual characteristics, reported use of secondary prevention drugs varied substantially (8.4%–60.6%). In the multivariable analysis, younger people, women, current smokers, current drinkers, people without hypertension or diabetes and those with established CVD for more than 2 years were less likely to report taking antiplatelet drugs or statins.ConclusionsThe current use of secondary prevention drugs in China is suboptimal and varies substantially across population subgroups. Our study identifies target populations for scalable, tailored interventions to improve secondary prevention of CVD.

ObjectivesWe aimed to assess the dose–response association between weight gain from young to middle adulthood and odds of metabolic syndrome, across body mass index (BMI) categories at young adulthood.MethodsBased on a national population-based screening project, middle-aged (35–64 years) participants who recalled weight at age 25 years and received standardized measurements were included. Multivariable adjusted restricted cubic splines and logistic regression models were applied.ResultsIn total, 437,849 participants were included (62.1% women, 52.0 ± 7.6 years). Larger weight gains from young to middle adulthood were associated with higher odds of metabolic syndrome at middle adulthood, with odds of 2.01 (1.98–2.05), 1.93 (1.92–1.94), and 1.67 (1.64–1.7) per 5-kg weight gain across participants who were underweight, normal-weight, and overweight/obese at young adulthood, respectively. After further adjusting for current BMI, larger weight gains still correlated with higher odds of metabolic syndrome among underweight and normal-weight participants, while an inverted U-shaped association was observed in overweight/obese participants.ConclusionsWeight maintenance from young to middle adulthood could be effective to mitigate metabolic syndrome burden, especially among underweight and normal-weight people. Historical weight gain confers varied information about metabolic syndrome risk independent of attained BMI across BMI categories at young adulthood.

A family of novel bis-tridentate Ir(III) complexes (Ir1-Ir5) incorporating both functional N∧C∧N-type ligands (L1-L5) and N∧N∧C-type ligand (L0) were synthesized attentively and characterized scientifically. The crystalline structures of Ir1, Ir3 and Ir4 were resoundingly confirmed by XRD. With the aid of experimental and theoretical methods, their photophysical properties at transient and steady states were scientifically investigated. The broadband charge-transfer absorption for these aforementioned Ir(III) complexes is up to 600 nm as shown in the UV-visible absorption spectrum. The emission lifetimes of their excited states are good. Between the visible and near-infrared regions, Ir1-Ir5 possessed powerful excited-state absorption. Hence, a remarkably robust reverse saturable absorption (RSA) process can occur once the complexes are irradiated by a 532 nm laser. The RSA effect follows the descending order: Ir3 > Ir5 > Ir4 ≈ Ir1 > Ir2. To sum up, modifying electron-donating units (-OCH3) and large π-conjugated units to the pyridyl N∧C∧N-type ligands is a systematic way to markedly raise the RSA effect. Therefore, these octahedral bis-tridentate Ir(III) complexes are potentially state-of-the-art optical limiting (OPL) materials.

With the development of E-bank, the use of credit cards gets an unprecedented improvement as well as the problem of credit card fraud. To overcome this problem, we need automatic systems to finish the fraud detection. The number of monitored account data is so large that our human resources are unable to detect the whole dataset. Also, since the number of fraudulent transactions is (fortunately) much smaller than the legitimate ones, the data distribution is unbalanced, skewed towards non-fraudulent observations. To solve the problem of unbalanced dataset, there exist many learning algorithms which are used to underperform this kind of problem; to improve the accuracy or predicting, there exist many methods like over or under sampling.

Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text., Background: China has seen a burgeoning epidemic of obesity in recent decades, but few studies reported nationally on obesity across socio-demographic subgroups. We sought to assess the prevalence and socio-demographic associations of obesity nationwide. Methods: We assessed the prevalence of overall obesity (body mass index ≥28 kg/m2) and abdominal obesity (waist circumference ≥85/90 cm for women/men) among 2.7 million community-dwelling adults aged 35 to 75 years in the China PEACE Million Persons Project from 2014 to 2018 and quantified the socio-demographic associations of obesity using multivariable mixed models. Results: Age-standardized rates of overall and abdominal obesity were 14.4% (95% CI, 14.3%–14.4%) and 32.7% (32.6%–32.8%) in women and 16.0% (15.9%–16.1%) and 36.6% (36.5%–36.8%) in men. Obesity varied considerably across socio-demographic subgroups. Older women were at higher risk for obesity (eg, adjusted relative risk [95% CI] of women aged 65–75 versus 35–44 years: 1.29 [1.27–1.31] for overall obesity, 1.76 [1.74–1.77] for abdominal obesity) while older men were not. Higher education was associated with lower risk in women (eg, adjusted relative risk [95% CI] of those with college or university education versus below primary school: 0.47 [0.46–0.48] for overall obesity, 0.61 [0.60–0.62] for abdominal obesity) but higher risk in men (1.07 [1.05–1.10], 1.17 [1.16–1.19]). Conclusions: In China, over 1 in 7 individuals meet criteria for overall obesity, and 1 in 3 for abdominal obesity. Wide variation exists across socio-demographic subgroups. The associations of age and education with obesity are significant and differ by sex. Understanding obesity in contemporary China has broad domestic policy implications and provides a valuable international reference.

Objective To examine the association of kidney stones with new-onset hypertension, diabetes and obesity. Participants and methods This prospective cohort study included participants in the Qingdao Port Cardiovascular Health Study who were aged ≥18 years and had abdominal ultrasonography results in 2013 that were negative for kidney stones. Multivariable Cox regression models with time-dependent covariates were used to estimate the effects of new-onset hypertension, diabetes and obesity on the incidence of kidney stones. Results There were 9667 participants without kidney stones in 2013 (mean age 46.2 years; 75.6% men). During a mean (range) follow-up of 33.5 (6-42) months, 676 (7.0%) incident cases of kidney stones were identified. Kidney stones were more frequent among those who had new-onset of a metabolic factor vs those who did not (hypertension: 7.7 vs 6.0%; diabetes: 8.4 vs 6.6%; obesity: 7.4 vs 6.8%). Adjusted Cox models identified that increased risk of kidney stones was associated with new-onset hypertension (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.25-2.27), new-onset diabetes (HR 1.78, 95% CI 1.07-2.96), and new-onset obesity (HR 1.78, 95% CI 1.15-2.74). Conclusions New-onset of hypertension, diabetes and obesity were all strongly associated with an increased risk of kidney stones in this prospective cohort study. Results suggest that a substantial proportion of kidney stones are potentially preventable by appropriate control of these metabolic risk factors.

Four D-π-A or D-π-D phenothiazine compounds bearing different substituents on central π-bridge (R = -H (PTZ-1), -Br (PTZ-2), -CN (PTZ-3) and -OC12H25 (PTZ-4)) were synthesized and characterized. The influence of the substituents on the photophysics of these compounds is systematically investigated by spectroscopic methods and simulated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. All compounds exhibit intense absorption bands in UV and visible region, which are influenced by the different substituents on the central π-bridge. Both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents cause bathochromic shifts of the low energy 1π-π*/1ICT (intramolecular charge transfer) absorption bands. Meanwhile, all compounds are emissive in solution at room temperature (λem = 400–800 nm, Φem = 0.01–0.74). Their fluorescent quantum yields decrease when the electron-withdrawing substituents attached on the central π-bridge, but increase when electron-donating substituents were introduced. In addition, PTZ-1–PTZ-4 all exhibit strong triplet transient absorption (TA) in visible region. When the electron-donating substituents attached, the triplet excited-state molar extinction coefficient (190200 L mol−1 cm−1) and triplet excited-state lifetime (53.2 μs) of PTZ-4 were significantly enhanced. Their luminescent and excited state absorption properties could provide us a basis for elucidating the structure-property correlations of phenothiazine compounds and developing novel optical functional materials.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder with a high burden of arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of heterozygous FH is currently 0.2%-0.5% in Europe, while no such data has yet been published about the general population in China. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of FH in a Chinese population aged 35-75 years.We used a nationwide general population from 31 provinces in mainland China (n = 1,059,936, age 35-75) based on the China PEACE (Patient-centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events) MPP (Million Persons Project). The diagnosis of FH was based on 2 (untreated LDL-C ≥4.7 mmol/L and first-degree relatives with premature ASCVD history) of the 3 diagnostic criteria from the Chinese expert consensus on diagnosis of FH (CEFH criteria). FH prevalence was estimated and clinical phenotypic characteristics were further analyzed.The overall FH prevalence was 0.13% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.12-0.14) by the CEFH criteria, and age and sex standardized FH prevalence was slightly lower (0.11%; 95%CI, 0.10-0.12). FH prevalence in female was twice as high as in male (0.16% vs. 0.08%, p 0.001). Across different age groups, the prevalence also varied and peaked among 55-to 64-year-olds. Regarding geographical areas, the prevalence ranged from 0.19% in Eastern, to 0.11% in Central, and 0.08% in Western China (p 0.001). Participants living in rural areas had a lower prevalence than urban participants (0.10% vs. 0.18%, p 0.001). The rate of coronary artery disease in FH patients was 5 folds higher than in the general population (10.5% vs. 2.1%, p 0.001). The rate of FH patients receiving lipid-lowering medications was 18.1%. None of the treated patients achieved guideline recommended LDL-C targets.The prevalence of FH in the Chinese population aged 35-75 years was 0.13% (about 1 in 769) defined by 2 of the CEFH criteria, and the patients were seriously undertreated and under-controlled. The screened FH prevalence varied by age, sex, geographical distributions, and urban/rural areas.

Background: China is undergoing the largest urbanization in history. The new urban population in rapid expanding cities were usually at a disadvantaged position in avoiding disease risk and accessing health care. Methods: During 2015-2020, urban population aged 35-75 years living in 96 cities in 31 provinces in mainland China were enrolled in a national population-based epidemiological project China PEACE (Patient-centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events) MPP (Million Persons Project). They were divided into four groups by their former and current place of residence as follows: old-urban in-situ residents, new-urban in-situ residents, urban-to-urban migrants, and rural-to-urban migrants. We assessed twelve indicators related to their vulnerability to cardiovascular disease (CVD) on adherence to healthy lifestyles, use of primary and secondary prevention of CVD, and outcomes of blood pressure risk management. Findings: Among 1 068 723 included participants, 48·3% were old-urban in-situ residents, 34·4% were new-urban in-situ residents, 11·9% were urban-to-urban migrants, and 5·4% were rural-to-urban migrants. In the four groups of urban population, after standardized by age and sex, new-urban in-situ residents had the lowest adherence to non-smoking (73·1% [95% CI 72·8-73·3]), none or moderate alcohol use (94·5% [94·4-94·6]), sufficient leisure-time activity (18·9% [18·7-19·1]), and healthy diet (10·2% [10·0-10·4]). New-urban in-situ residents and rural-to-urban migrants had the lowest use of statin in primary prevention of CVD (0·9% [0·8-1·0] and 1·2% [0·9-1·6], respectively). Rural-to-urban migrants had the lowest use of aspirin in secondary prevention of CVD (12·2% [10·3-14·3]). New-urban in-situ residents had the lowest rate of awareness of high blood pressure (44·8% [44·6-45·1]) and lowest rate of control of blood pressure among people diagnosed as hypertension (21·9% [21·6-22·3]). Odds ratios of the population type after adjusting potential confounding factors in the multivariable logistic model showed similar results. Interpretation: New-urban in-situ residents and rural-to-urban migrants were the most vulnerable groups of urban population to CVD. Focused intervention is urgently in need.

LiDAR sensing is a newly developed 3D acquisition technology which is widely applied in auto-driving area. Different from the human perception point cloud, the generated 3D data is machine perception point clouds which are designed for specific vision tasks in realistic life, such as point cloud detection, segmentation and recognition. Therefore, instead of traditional subjective quality estimation, the quality assessment of machine perception point cloud is a new challenge. In this paper, we propose a machine perception point cloud quality assessment via various vision tasks, evaluating the point cloud quality based on the performance in vision tasks of different level of distorted point cloud. Firstly, we utilize the state-of-the-art point cloud compression algorithm to obtain the distorted point cloud. Then, we explore the potentials of distorted point clouds in detection and segmentation precision, comparing the results in different testing conditions. Finally, we propose the machine perception ROI based point cloud compression framework achieves notable performance on vision tasks result while do insignificant influence on PSNR.The experimental results illustrate the correspondence between point cloud quality and the performance in vision tasks, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Key Points Question What are the characteristics of young and middle-aged adults with isolated systolic hypertension in China, and what is the prevalence and awareness of isolated systolic hypertension among this population? Findings In this cross-sectional study of young and middle-aged adults in China, isolated systolic hypertension was identified in 27% of participants with hypertension, 87% of whom had not received treatment; less than 7% of individuals with untreated isolated systolic hypertension were aware of having hypertension. Among individuals with isolated systolic hypertension, 16% had systolic blood pressure of 160 mm Hg or higher, but awareness rates remained low even in this group. Meaning In this study, a substantial proportion of young and middle-aged adults with hypertension had isolated systolic hypertension; there is an opportunity to improve awareness of isolated systolic hypertension among this population., Importance Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is increasing in prevalence among young and middle-aged adults. However, most studies of ISH are limited to older individuals, and a substantial knowledge gap exists regarding younger adults with ISH. Objective To assess the prevalence, awareness, and characteristics of ISH among younger and middle-aged adults in China. Design, Setting, and Participants This cross-sectional study was performed as part of the China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Million Persons Project, which enrolled 3.1 million community residents aged 35 to 75 years from all of the 31 provinces in China between December 15, 2014, and May 15, 2019. The present analysis included only participants younger than 50 years. Data were analyzed from May to November 2019. Main Outcomes and Measures Prevalence and awareness of ISH (defined as systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher and diastolic blood pressure of less than 90 mm Hg) and individual characteristics of participants with ISH. Results Among 898 929 participants aged 35 to 49 years, the mean (SD) age was 43.8 (3.9) years; 548 657 participants (61.0%) were women, and 235 138 participants (26.2%) had hypertension. Of those with hypertension, 62 819 participants (26.7%; 95% CI, 26.5%-26.9%) had ISH (mean [SD] age, 45.0 [3.5] years; 41 417 women [65.9%]), and 54 463 of those with ISH (86.7%; 95% CI, 86.4%-87.0%) had not received treatment. The prevalence of ISH was higher among individuals who were older, were female, were farmers, resided in the eastern region of China, and had an educational level of primary school or lower. Women and older individuals were more likely to have ISH than to be normotensive or to have other hypertension subtypes. Participants who were obese, currently used alcohol, had diabetes, and experienced previous cardiovascular events were more likely to have other types of hypertension and less likely to have normotension than to have ISH. Among the 54 463 participants with ISH who had not received treatment, only 3682 individuals (6.8%; 95% CI, 6.6%-7.0%) were aware of having hypertension, and awareness rates remained low even among those with systolic blood pressure of 160 mm Hg or higher (7135 individuals [13.1%; 95% CI, 12.4%-13.9%]). Conclusions and Relevance In this study, ISH was identified in 1 of 4 young and middle-aged adults with hypertension in China, most of whom remained unaware of having hypertension. These results highlight the increasing need for better guidance regarding the management of ISH in this population., This cross-sectional study includes younger and middle-aged adult participants from the China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Million Persons Project to assess the prevalence, awareness, and individual characteristics of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) among this population.

Introduction: Healthy lifestyles are effective means to reduce premature deaths. However, comprehensive knowledge about adherence to multiple healthy lifestyles in Chinese adults is still lacking. Methods: We interviewed 938,545 adults aged 35-75 years from 248 counties/districts of China in a national population-based epidemiological project, the China PEACE-MPP. We defined four healthy lifestyles as non-smoking, none or moderate alcohol use, sufficient leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), and healthy diet. We established multi-level logistic regression models to explore the factors associated with the adherence. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were fitted to assess the impact of adherence to healthy lifestyles on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Results: Among the participants, 78.6% were non-smokers, 98.0% had none or moderate alcohol use, 25.7% had sufficient LTPA, 19.7% had healthy diet, and only 5.8% adhered to all four heathy lifestyles. The overall adherence varied substantially across seven regions (P Conclusions: The adherence to healthy lifestyles in Chinese adults was far from ideal. Targeted health promotion strategies were urgently in need.

Background With demographic and epidemiologic transitions, China has become home to the greatest number of obese individuals in the world. Effective policy intervention requires a contemporary assessment of obesity across broad socio-demographic subgroups. Purpose We aim to assess the prevalence of overall and abdominal obesity by socio-demographic characteristics and the associations of these characteristics with obesity in China. Methods Using the data of 2.7-million community-dwelling participants aged 35–75 years in the China PEACE Million Persons Project, a nationwide cross-sectional screening project from 2014 to 2018, we calculated the prevalence of overall and abdominal obesity based on national guideline definitions (body mass index ≥28 kg/m2, waist circumference ≥85/90 cm for women/men). We examined 12 available socio-demographic variables that are potentially associated with obesity, in addition to self-reported co-morbidities, and quantified the associations of these socio-demographic characteristics with obesity using multivariable mixed models. Results The prevalence of overall and abdominal obesity were 15.8% and 37.6% in women and 15.0% and 36.3% in men (Figure). Compared to individuals with normal weight, those with overall obesity had a higher prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes (in women: by 30.4, 16.1, and 6.0 percent points; in men, by 29.9, 31.2, and 5.8 percent points). A similar pattern was observed with abdominal obesity. In women, those aged 55–64 years constituted the largest age group with overall and abdominal obesity (33.7% and 35.0%), while in men, those aged 45–54 and 55–64 years constituted the largest age group with overall obesity (30.4%) and abdominal obesity (30.5%), respectively. Older women were at substantially higher risk for obesity (e.g., adjusted relative risk [95% CI] of women aged 65–75 vs. 35–44 years: 1.29 [1.27–1.31] for overall obesity and 1.76 [1.74–1.77] for abdominal obesity) while older men were not. Higher education was associated with lower risk in women (e.g., those with college or university education vs. less than primary school: 0.47 [0.46–0.48] for overall obesity and 0.61 [0.60–0.62] for abdominal obesity) but higher risk in men (1.07 [1.05–1.10] and 1.17 [1.16–1.19]). In both women and men, current smoking was associated with lower risk for obesity, and current drinking was associated with higher risk, but the magnitude of associations was smaller in women than men. Conclusions In China, over one in seven individuals meet criteria for overall obesity, and one in three for abdominal obesity. Wide variation exists across socio-demographic subgroups. The associations of age and education with obesity are significant and differ by sex. Understanding obesity in contemporary China has broad domestic policy implications and provides a valuable international reference. Figure 1 Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: Other.

However, whether anticoagulation should be continued after pPCI has not been well investigated.Methods/design: The RIGHT trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in STEMI patients treated with pPCI evaluating the prolongation of anticoagulation after the procedure. Patients are randomized in a 1:1 fashion to receive either prolonged anticoagulant or matching placebo (no anticoagulation) for at least 48 hours after the procedure. When randomized to anticoagulation prolongation, the patient is assigned to intravenous unfractionated heparin (UFH) or subcutaneous enoxaparin or intravenous bivalirudin (same drug and same regimen at each center). The primary efficacy endpoint is the composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, stent thrombosis (definite) or urgent revascularization (any vessel) at 30 days. The primary safety endpoint is major bleeding (BARC 3-5) at 30 days. Based on a superiority design and assuming a 35% relative risk reduction (from 7% to 4.5%), 2856 patients will be enrolled, accounting for a 5% drop-out rate (α = 0.05 and power = 80%).Conclusion: The RIGHT trial tests the hypothesis that post-procedural anticoagulation is superior to no anticoagulation in reducing ischemic events in STEMI patients undergoing pPCI.
