    Abstract Objectives: It has been known that pulse pressure (PP) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke, however, the relationship between PP and cognitive impairment is unclear.
    Methods: This was a community-based cohort study. Participates were followed-up for 4 years and new-onset cognitive impairment was diagnosed. Multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were used to investigate the relationship between PP and cognitive impairment. Propensity score matching (PSM) and sensitivity analysis among ApoEε4 non-carriers were performed to confirm the results.
    Results: 1462 participants were included at baseline and 1173 completed the follow-up. There were 42 (3.5%) new-onset cognitive impairment of whom 31 were diagnosed with MCI and 11 with dementia during the follow-up. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that PP was positively associated with cognitive impairment (OR = 2.853, 95% CI 1.079-7.548, p = 0.035), and RCS suggested a non-linear relationship (P
    Conclusion: PP is associated with cognitive impairment in a non-linear manner among middle-aged and elderly. The risk of cognitive impairment increases rapidly when PP exceeds about 46.7 mmHg, which may be informative for subsequent research of PP control ranges.

    Abstract Introduction: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is reported to be related to poor functional outcomes and all-cause mortality post-stroke. However, the association between TyG index and recurrent stroke after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has not been well described. We aimed to identify whether the TyG index was associated with 1-year recurrent stroke after AIS.
    Methods: Baseline patient information was collected at admission, and the TyG index was calculated. Recurrent stroke events were followed up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after diagnosis. We then examined the association between the TyG index and risk of 1-year recurrent stroke using multivariable Cox regression models and restricted cubic spline analyses.
    Results: Among 2,288 participants, the mean TyG index was 8.8  0.7. Those in the fourth quartile (Q4) demonstrated higher recurrent stroke risk than those in Q1 (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 1.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.98-2.72; p = 0.059). Subgroup analysis revealed a sex-specific association between TyG index and recurrent stroke (p for interaction = 0.022). Additionally, restricted cubic splines analyses showed a non-linear association between the TyG index and 1-year recurrent stroke. In females, patients in the Q4 had a 2.95-fold increased recurrent stroke risk than did patients in the Q1 (adjusted HR =2.95; 95% CI, 1.09-7.94; p = 0.032); the risk increased when the TyG index was > 8.73. However, no significant correlation was observed in males.
    Conclusion: A non-linear association was found between the TyG index and 1-year recurrent stroke risk. Subsequently, a high TyG index could predict an increased 1-year recurrent stroke risk in female AIS patients.

    Abstract China has proposed to build "Sponge City" to alleviate the problems of urban waterlogging, water shortage, ecological degradation, and water pollution. The benefits of Sponge City construction have become a focus of attention because of the considerable investment and the extensive participation of all sectors of society. This paper develops a model for monetizing urban, river, and regional benefits, by taking city and river areas as the research objects. This model is based on the regional water balance, water footprint theory, and the shadow price of water. This model monetizes the potential benefits of a Sponge City before construction. Our case study is Xi'an and Guyuan. Applying the benefits calculated at the 7% discount rate, the benefit/cost (B/C) ratios of the two locations are 3.86 and 0.93 times, respectively. Also, applying the benefits calculated at the 5% discount rate, the B/C ratios of the two locations are 5.41 and 1.31 times, respectively. In terms of urban benefits, the static payback periods of Xi'an and Guyuan are about 3.7 years and 15.3 years, respectively. In terms of regional benefits, they are about 4.0 years and 16.2 years, respectively. According to the results, the return of Sponge City construction in Xi'an and Guyuan is much higher than the investment but with some risks in the investment for social investors in Guyuan. In this paper, the model and the research results can provide some references for the research on the monetization of Sponge City benefits.

    Abstract Objective: The study is designed to understand the situation of full-term infants breastfeeding within 6 months of birth in Xi'an before the Covid-19 pandemic and analyze the influencing factors of exclusive breastfeeding.
    Methods: Five hospitals in Xi'an province have been selected as research centers. Full-term infants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited from these centers between January 1 and February 28, 2019. The feeding situation at 10 days, 42 days, 3 months, and 6 months after birth were investigated. A self-designed breastfeeding questionnaire was used for investigation and follow-up. SPSS 22.0 was applied for statistical analysis of the data.
    Results: The exclusive breastfeeding rate of full-term infants on days 10 and 42 and at months three and six after birth was 61.38%, 54.78%, 48.83%, and 38.78%, respectively, with a decreasing trend over time. During breastfeeding within 48 h after delivery, 1,653 cases (91.83%) of puerpera had different grades of pain, including 1,325 cases (80.16%) of mild discomfort, 321 cases (19.42%) of moderate pain, and seven cases (0.42%) of severe pain. Within 24-48 h postpartum, 1,607 (89.27%) mothers faced problems related to postpartum breastfeeding. Among them, 694 (43,19%) neonates could not be fed effectively; 665 (41.38%) mothers had wound pain and had inconvenience to turn over; 598 (37.21%) neonates were difficult to wake up; 439 (27.32%) mothers had incorrect feeding posture; 181 (11.26%) mothers experienced other problems. The Cox risk regression model showed that weight gain during pregnancy was higher than the recommended standard. Living in suburban counties was a risk factor of exclusive breastfeeding for full-term infants. Participation in breastfeeding courses during pregnancy, feeding more than eight times daily after delivery, were the protective factors of exclusive breastfeeding for full-term infants.
    Conclusion: The body weight gain of parturients should be controlled within a reasonable range during pregnancy. Parturients were encouraged by medical staff to participate in breastfeeding courses or watch the breastfeeding process during pregnancy to increase their self-confidence and improve the rate of exclusive breastfeeding for full-term infants. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the publicity of breastfeeding in suburban areas to promote breastfeeding.

    Abstract Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are the important source of microplastics (MPs) in the environment, but the distribution and property of MPs in WWTPs are not fully understood. The study systematically investigated the transportation, characteristics and fate of MPs in both sewage and sludge of WWTP in Xi'an, a western region of China to complement the research on the fate of MPs in WWTP in inland China. The consequence was abundance, size, shape, color and type of MPs in sewage and sludge of different treatment processes were analyzed and compared by the metallurgical microscope and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. Results showed that the MP abundance decreased from 288.5 n/L of the influent to 22.9 n/L of the effluent, corresponding to the removal rate of 92.1%. Among them, the secondary treatment has the best removal effect, with a removal rate of 72.1%. With the treatment process, the distribution of MPs with different characteristics is constantly changing, which leads to differences in the distribution of MPs in sludge and sewage. It is speculated from the characteristics of MPs that domestic sewage is still the main source of microplastics in Beishiqiao WWTP. Restricting the use of plastic products in daily life or finding alternatives is of great significance to the construction of MPs pollution.
