    Abstract Epidemiological evidence suggests associations between exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), while diabetes is a common risk factor for CVD. The present study aims to clarify the effect of high PAH exposure on diabetes and stroke in general population. A total of 7849 individuals aged 20 years or older from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2016 were included in the study. The logistic regression analysis modeled the association between PAH exposure and diabetes as well as stroke. The analysis yielded odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The study also evaluated the potential mediating role of diabetes in the relation between PAH exposure and stroke via mediating effect analyses. Of the 7849 eligible participants, 1424 cases of diabetes and 243 cases of stroke were recorded. After adjusting for covariates including age, gender, smoking status, drinking status, education level, marital status, physical activity, hypertension, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and BMI, the ORs for stroke in the highest quartile (Q4) of total urinary PAHs were 1.97 (95% CI 1.11-3.52, P = 0.022) as compared to the lowest quartile (Q1) of total urinary PAHs. The ORs for diabetes in the Q4 of total urinary PAHs were 1.56 (95% CI 1.15-2.12, P = 0.005), while the ORs between Q4 and Q1 for stroke and diabetes concerning exposure to 2-hydroxynaphthalene were 2.23 (95% CI 1.17-4.25, P = 0.016) and 1.40 (95% CI 1.07-1.82, P = 0.015), respectively. The mediation analysis found that diabetes accounted for 5.00% of the associations between urinary PAHs and the prevalence of stroke. Urinary metabolites of PAH have been linked to stroke and diabetes. Increasing the risk of diabetes may play a significant role in mediating the association between exposure to PAHs and increased risk of stroke. Monitoring and improving glucose metabolism in individuals with high exposure to PAHs may aid in reducing the prevalence of stroke.

    Abstract Aims: We aimed to evaluate the effects of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) and the factors influencing mortality after RFCA in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and atrial flutter (AFL).
    Methods and results: Fifty-eight consecutive PH patients with AFL who underwent an electrophysiological study and RFCA between April 2013 and August 2021 were selected for this study. In the study population, pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD) was the most common type of PH (n = 34, 59%), followed by idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) (n = 19, 33%). Typical atrial flutter was the most common type of atrial flutter (n = 50, 86.2%). Sinus rhythm was restored in 53 (91.4%) patients during RFCA. After a mean follow-up of 33.8 months, AFL recurred in a total of 22 patients. Nine of them underwent repeat RFCA, and the site of the repeat ablation was not exactly the same as the first. At a median follow-up of 34.6 months after the last ablation, none of the patients who underwent repeat RFCA experienced AFL recurrence, and all of these patients survived. There were no procedure-related complications during hospitalization or follow-up. Univariate Cox regression analysis suggested that AFL recurrence after the last ablation was not associated with all-cause mortality. NT-proBNP (HR: 1.00024, 95% CI: 1.00008-1.00041, P = 0.004), pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) (HR: 1.048, 95% CI: 1.020-1.076, P = 0.001), and IPAH (vs.
    Pah-chd, hr: 7.720, 95% CI: 1.437-41.483, P = 0.017) were independent predictors of all-cause mortality in PH patients with AFL after RFCA. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that the area under the curve (AUC) of PASP for predicting all-cause mortality was 0.708. There was no significant difference in the Kaplan-Meier curves for all-cause mortality between patients with AFL recurrence after the last ablation and those without recurrence (P = 0.851). Patients with higher PASP (≥110 mmHg) and IPAH showed the lower survival rate in Kaplan-Meier curves.
    Conclusion: Repeat ablation was safe and feasible in patients with recurrent AFL and can maintain sinus rhythm. AFL recurrence was not associated with all-cause mortality, and patients with high PASP or IPAH were at higher risk for adverse outcomes.

    Abstract Objective: A two-electron reductase known as NQO1 [NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1] is regarded as an excellent anticancer target. Studies have found that rs1800566 polymorphism of NQO1 is linked to different cancers, but their associations remain controversial.
    Methods: In the present work, we selected to do a comprehensive meta-analysis to analyze their correlation. We performed searches on PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, Chinese database, and Web of Science. The results we obtained covered all publications before April 3, 2022.
    Results: There were 176 case-control studies among them, with 56,173 corresponding controls and 43,736 cancer cases. We determined that the NQO1 rs1800566 polymorphism was not related to the cancer risk by calculating 95% confidence intervals and odds ratios. However, stratified genotyping showed that this polymorphism was protective against hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and gastric cancer. In addition, on dividing cancer into six systems, the association with gastrointestinal cancer decreased. In the race-based subgroup, a decreasing trend was observed in Asians, while an increasing trend was found among Caucasians, Africans, and mixed populations. The decreased correlation in the hospital-based subgroup was also detected.
    Conclusion: Current study shows that rs1800566 polymorphism of NQO1 was linked to cancer susceptibility and maybe as a tumor marker in their development.

    Abstract Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) is an actin-binding protein that includes three structural domains: Enabled/VASP homolog1 (EVH1), EVH2, and proline-rich (PRR). VASP plays an important role in various cellular behaviors related to cytoskeletal regulation. More importantly, VASP plays a key role in the progression of several malignant tumors and is associated with malignant cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. Here, we have summarized current studies on the impact of VASP on the development of several malignant tumors and their mechanisms. This study provides a new theoretical basis for clinical molecular diagnosis and molecular targeted therapy.

    Abstract The major public health emergencies (PHEs) represented by the COVID-19 pandemic, while posing a serious threat to human health, have led people to rethink about the harmonious relationship between humans and nature. It is worthy to explore whether and how the framework effect of event information can be used to turn crises into opportunities to promote public pro-environmental behavior (PEB). Through a pre-and post-test control experiment, this study took the COVID-19 pandemic as a case, to explore the effects of four PHE information frameworks on promoting PEB, coupled with two information loss-gain frameworks and two information content frameworks. The results showed that all four information frameworks contribute to the public PEB. However, there are differences: only the environmental gain information effect is significant for PEB in the private sphere. The environmental loss and health gain information are effective for PEB in organizations. However, in the public sphere, all four information frameworks significantly motivate PEB. Further factorial analysis revealed that the interaction between the information content and loss-gain framework was not significant, with the latter playing the dominant role. These findings provide a new approach to how to develop the information framework effect and turn crises into opportunities to promote public PEB in the context of major PHEs.

    Abstract Background: The Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is a novel marker reflecting the true acute hyperglycemia status and is associated with clinical adverse events. The relationship between SHR and mortality in patients with diabetes or prediabetes is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the SHR for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with diabetes or prediabetes.
    Methods: This study included 11,160 patients diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2018). The study endpoints were all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, and morality data were extracted from the National Death Index (NDI) up to December 31, 2019. Patients were divided into SHR quartiles. Cox proportion hazards regression was applied to determine the prognostic value of SHR. Model 1 was not adjusted for any covariates. Model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, and race. Model 3 was adjusted for age, sex, race, BMI, smoking status, alcohol use, hypertension, CHD, CKD, anemia, and TG.
    Results: During a mean follow-up of 84.9 months, a total of 1538 all-cause deaths and 410 cardiovascular deaths were recorded. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed the lowest all-cause mortality incidence was in quartile 3 (P < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analyses indicated that, compared to the 1st quartile, the 4th quartile was associated with higher all-cause mortality (model 1: HR = 0.89, 95% CI 0.74-10.7, P = 0.226; model 2: HR = 1.24, 95% CI 1.03-1.49, P = 0.026; model 3: HR = 1.30, 95% CI 1.08-1.57, P = 0.006). The 3rd quartile was associated with lower cardiovascular mortality than quartile 1 (model 1: HR = 0.47, 95% CI 0.32-0.69, P < 0.001; model 2: HR = 0.66, 95% CI 0.45-0.96, P = 0.032; model 3: HR = 0.68, 95% CI 0.46-0.99, P = 0.049). There was a U-shaped association between SHR and all-cause mortality and an L-shaped association between SHR and cardiovascular mortality, with inflection points of SHR for poor prognosis of 0.87 and 0.93, respectively.
    Conclusion: SHR is related to all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with diabetes or prediabetes. SHR may have predictive value in those patients.

    Abstract Background: The relationship between triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) index and mortality in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between TyG-BMI with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among elderly DM patients in the United States (US).
    Methods: Patients aged over 60 years with DM from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2016) were included in this study. The study endpoints were all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and the morality data were extracted from the National Death Index (NDI) which records up to December 31, 2019. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to explore the association between TyG-BMI index with mortality. Restricted cubic spline was used to model nonlinear relationships.
    Results: A total of 1363 elderly diabetic patients were included, and were categorized into four quartiles. The mean age was 70.0 ± 6.8 years, and 48.6% of them were female. Overall, there were 429 all-cause deaths and 123 cardiovascular deaths were recorded during a median follow-up of 77.3 months. Multivariate Cox regression analyses indicated that compared to the 1st quartile (used as the reference), the 3rd quartile demonstrated a significant association with all-cause mortality (model 2: HR = 0.64, 95% CI 0.46-0.89, P = 0.009; model 3: HR = 0.65, 95% CI 0.43-0.96, P = 0.030). Additionally, the 4th quartile was significantly associated with cardiovascular mortality (model 2: HR = 1.83, 95% CI 1.01-3.30, P = 0.047; model 3: HR = 2.45, 95% CI 1.07-5.57, P = 0.033). The restricted cubic spline revealed a U-shaped association between TyG-BMI index with all-cause mortality and a linear association with cardiovascular mortality, after adjustment for possible confounding factors.
    Conclusions: A U-shaped association was observed between the TyG-BMI index with all-cause mortality and a linear association was observed between the TyG-BMI index with cardiovascular mortality in elderly patients with DM in the US population.
