Objective:To exploring the application effect of doctors-nurses-patients theory of goal attainment combined with StMarys cluster intervention mode in patients with tracheotomy after stroke.Methods:Using convenient sampling method, a total of 130 stroke patients with tracheostomy who were admitted to Shangqiu First People's Hospital from August 2020 to February 2022 were selected as the research objects. The patients were divided into the control group and the observation group using the random number table method, with 65 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing care, while the observation group applied doctors-nurses-patients theory of goal attainment combined with StMarys cluster nursing intervention mode on the basis of the control group. After intervention, scores of Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and patient nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention, the SAS and SDS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the nursing satisfaction was higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The doctors-nurses-patients theory of goal attainment combined with StMarys cluster intervention mode can help improve the psychological state of patients and increase nursing satisfaction.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)is a major histological subtype of esopha-geal cancer with a poor prognosis.Although several serum metabolomic investigations have been reported,ESCC tumor-associated metabolic alterations and predictive biomarkers in sera have not been defined.Here,we enrolled 34 treatment-naive patients with ESCC and collected their pre-and post-esophagectomy sera together with the sera from 34 healthy volunteers for a metabo-lomic survey.Our comprehensive analysis identified ESCC tumor-associated metabolic alterations as represented by a panel of 12 serum metabolites.Notably,postoperative abrosia and parenteral nutrition substantially perturbed the serum metabolome.Furthermore,we performed an examina-tion using sera from carcinogen-induced mice at the dysplasia and ESCC stages and identified three ESCC tumor-associated metabolites conserved between mice and humans.Notably,among these metabolites,the level of pipecolic acid was observed to be progressively increased in mouse sera from dysplasia to cancerization,and it could be used to accurately discriminate between mice at the dysplasia stage and healthy control mice.Furthermore,this metabolite is essential for ESCC cells to restrain oxidative stress-induced DNA damage and cell proliferation arrest.Together,this study revealed a panel of 12 ESCC tumor-associated serum metabolites with potential for monitor-ing therapeutic efficacy and disease relapse,presented evidence for refining parenteral nutrition composition,and highlighted serum pipecolic acid as an attractive biomarker for predicting ESCC tumorigenesis.

Objective To investigate the expression of ITGBL1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its role in promoting the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cell lines. Methods RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry were used in investigating ITGBL1 expression in 12 pairs of fresh HCC and adjacent normal liver tissue samples and 160 paraffin HCC specimens. The relationships of ITGBL1 expression level with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis were analyzed. HUH7 cell line with the stable overexpression of ITGBL1 and LM3 cell line with stable downregulated expression of ITGBL1 were constructed. The effects of ITGBL1 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells were examined by CCK8 assay, wound-healing assay, and Transwell invasion assay. Results The expression levels of ITGBL1 gene and protein in tumor tissues were higher than those in surrounding liver tissues. The high expression of ITGBL1 was correlated with serum AFP level, tumor capsular invasion, vascular invasion, tumor differentiation, and clinical stage (P < 0.05). The results of Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with high expression of ITGBL1 had shorter DFS. In vitro, increased ITGBL1 expression promoted HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, whereas ITGBL1 knockdown inhibited these processes. Conclusion ITGBL1 expression is highly expressed in HCC tissues, and ITGBL1 can increase the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells. However, the mechanism needs further study.

Objective:To investigate the iodine nutritional status of children in Qingdao City and the effects of prevention and treatment measures on iodine deficiency disorders (IDD), and to provide a scientific basis for guiding residents to scientifically supplement iodine, taking timely targeted prevention and control measures, and scientifically adjusting intervention strategies.Methods:According to "National Iodine Deficiency Disorders Surveillance Program (2016 edition)" and "Iodine Deficiency Disorders Surveillance Program of Shandong Province", from 2018 to 2020, using the cluster sampling method, children aged 8-10 years in Qingdao City were chosen to test their household salt iodine content and random urinary iodine content, and to examine their thyroid volume by B-ultrasonography, and the correlation between thyroid volume and physical development indexes was analyzed.Results:From 2018 to 2020, a total of 6 057 children were monitored, including 3 068 boys and 2 989 girls. The median of salt iodine and iodized salt iodine of children was 23.50 and 24.10 mg/kg. The qualified rate of iodized salt was 89.95% (4 832/5 372), the coverage rate of iodized salt was 88.69% (5 372/6 057), and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 79.78% (4 832/6 057). There were significant differences in the qualified rate of iodized salt, the coverage rate of iodized salt and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt between different years (χ 2 = 135.26, 314.71, 342.87, P < 0.001). A total of 6 057 urine samples were collected from children, and the median of urinary iodine was 193.92 μg/L, of which 16.2% (979/6 057) were < 100 μg/L, and 22.5% (1 361/6 057) were ≥300 μg/L. There were statistically significant differences in the medians of urinary iodine between different years, gender and whether eating iodized salt ( H/Z = 37.25,-3.89,-5.69, P < 0.001), the median of urinary iodine in boys was higher than that of girls, and the median of urinary iodine in eating iodized salt group was higher than that of eating non-iodized salt group. There was no significant difference in the median of urinary iodine between different age ( H = 4.33, P = 0.119). The rate of goiter in children was 3.45% (71/2 057), and the difference between different years was statistically significant (χ 2 = 42.68, P < 0.001). The incidence of goiter in 2020 [7.31% (45/616)] was significantly higher than that in 2018 and 2019 [2.81% (18/641), 1.00% (8/800), P < 0.001]. Thyroid volume of children was positively correlated with height and weight ( r = 0.20, 0.22, P < 0.001). Conclusions:The iodine nutritional level of children aged 8-10 years in Qingdao City is appropriate. However, the incidence of goiter in children in some years is relatively high. The qualified rate of iodized salt, the coverage rate of iodized salt and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt are all lower than the national standard for elimination of IDD, which should be paid attention to.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of prevention and control measures to drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis in Qingdao, and to provide scientific basis for formulating prevention and control strategies.Methods:From 2019 to 2021, a full coverage surveillance was carried out in 1 146 villages in 7 drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis areas in Qingdao, including the operation status of the water improvement and fluoride reduction project, the water fluoride content in the villages, and the prevalence of dental fluorosis among children aged 8-12 years.Results:From 2019 to 2021, all the 1 146 affected villages in Qingdao had improved their water supply, and the rates of water fluoride exceeding the standard were 7.16% (82/1 146), 1.40% (16/1 146) and 3.84% (44/1 146), respectively, and the differences between years were statistically significant (χ 2 = 48.36, P < 0.001). The detection rates of dental fluorosis in children aged 8-12 years were 3.11% (803/25 856), 2.68% (629/23 460) and 3.00% (655/21 846), respectively, and the differences between years were statistically significant (χ 2 = 8.26, P = 0.016). The detection rate of dental fluorosis among children in villages with qualified water fluoride (2.85%, 1 986/69 565) was lower than that in villages with excessive water fluoride (6.32%, 101/1 597), with a statistically significant difference (χ 2 = 67.74, P < 0.001). Conclusions:From 2019 to 2021, the effect of prevention and control measures to drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis in Qingdao is significant and the detection rate of dental fluorosis in children is low, the detection rate of dental fluorosis in villages with qualified water fluoride is significantly lower than that in villages with excessive water fluoride. In the future, we should continue to strengthen water fluoride monitoring and engineering maintenance to ensure that the water fluoride content continues to be qualified and effectively reduce the harm of fluorosis.

Objective:To assess the operation and usage conditions of all water improvement projects in Qingdao, master the water fluoride content and the prevalence of dental fluorosis in children in drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis villages, evaluate the prevention and control effect of water improvement project.Methods:From April to October in 2020, all drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis villages in 7 cities (districts) of Qingdao were selected to investigate the operation and usage conditions of water improvement project, water fluoride and prevalence of dental fluorosis of 8 to 12 years old children. The prevention and control effect of water improvement project on drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis in Qingdao was evaluated according to the control contents and criteria of drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis.Results:There were 1 146 drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis villages, the water improved rate of villages was 100.00% (1 146/1 146), the rate of normal operation of water improvement project was 99.91% (1 145/1 146). There were 1 130 villages with qualified water fluoride and the qualified rate was 98.60% (1 130/1 146). A total of 23 473 children aged 8 - 12 years old were examined, and 631 children were detected with dental fluorosis. The detection rate of dental fluorosis was 2.69% (631/23 473), the dental fluorosis index was 0.048, and the prevalence was negative. The detection rate of dental fluorosis of children in villages with excessive water fluoride (7.03%, 40/569) was higher than that in villages with qualified water fluoride (2.58%, 591/22 904, χ 2 = 41.235, P < 0.01). Conclusion:The operation and usage conditions of water improvement projects in 7 drinking- water-borne endemic fluorosis cities (districts) in Qingdao are good, and the detection rate of dental fluorosis in children is low, which has reached the national control standard.

Objective:To investigate the awareness and knowledge of influenza and vaccine among primary care providers in Shanghai.Methods:An online questionnaires survey was conducted by Shanghai Alliance for Respiratory Diseases in Primary Care from December 2017 to August 2018, healthcare providers in district central hospitals and community health care centers of Shanghai were invited to participate in the survey. The questionnaire contained the following items: the basic information of respondents; knowledge of influenza and its vaccine; current status of influenza vaccination; factors affecting promoting vaccination; the intention, attitude, perception of promoting vaccination and the influencing factors, and suggestions on promoting influenza vaccination.Results:A total of 1 542 valid questionnaires were collected, 88.3% (1 361/1 542) responders correctly recognized main symptoms of influenza; 58.2% (898/1 542) ignored the contact transmission of influenza; 41.6% (641/1 542) didn′t know the frequency of influenza vaccination; 82.7% (1 276/1 542) failed to recognize that pregnant women should also receive influenza vaccination. The survey showed that 31.2% (481/1 542) of responders had been vaccinated against influenza. The vaccination rate in community health care institutions was significantly higher than that in district central hospitals [39.1% (304/778) vs. 23.2% (177/764), χ 2=45.44, P<0.05]. Factors affecting vaccination for healthcare providers were: influenza antigen was variable, and vaccination had no effects [49.5% (404/816)]; the efficacy of the flu vaccine was doubt [48.8% (634/1 298)]; the vaccine wasn′t free [46.5%(604/1 298)]. The respondents believed that the main ways to improve the influenza vaccination were to formulate relevant national vaccination policies [79.7%(1 229/1 542)], to regularly publicize knowledge of influenza and influenza vaccine to residents through communities [65.8% (1 015/1 542)], and to recommend the patients by primary care medical staff [64.4% (993/1 542)]. Conclusion:Many healthcare providers have insufficient knowledge about influenza and vaccine. The vaccination rate of community health institutions is higher than that in district central hospitals in Shanghai. The willingness to promote influenza vaccination can be influenced by some factors. Increasing the willingness of healthcare providers might be helpful to improve the vaccination coverage among residents in the community.

Objective To explore the effect of nursing intervention based on the transtheoretical model and stages of change on breastfeeding knowledge, self-efficacy, and duration of breastfeeding in newly born pregnant women, aimed to provide reference for breastfeeding behavior health education model for pregnant women. Methods The 130 primiparas who came to the hospital graded a class- three of Shanxi Province for perinatal examination were selected as the research subjects from May to June in 2017 , they were divided into test group and control group by random digits table method. In the control group, the normal breastfeeding health guidance was carried out in the three stages of prenatal, hospitalized and after discharge. The test group divided the primipara from the beginning of pregnancy to 6th months postpartum period into 5 stages according to transtheoretical model and stages of change. The new strategy of breastfeeding should be formulated and implemented according to different stages and behavior changing processes. Results The total score of breastfeeding knowledge of primipara were (8.76±1.14), (8.92±1.21), (9.90±1.27), (9.94±1.29) points in control group before intervention, the 3rd day, the 42nd day and the 6th month after delivery, and they were (9.11 ± 1.42), (12.02 ± 1.64), (13.04 ± 1.67), (15.00±1.83) points respectively in test group, the differences were statistically significant(Ftime= 51.823, Fgroup=10.406, Finteractive=56.641, all P < 0.05). The total scores of breastfeeding self-efficacy of primipara were (84.62 ± 1.14), (88.96 ± 1.41), (86.65 ± 1.47), (84.31 ± 1.57) points respectively in control group before intervention, the 3rd day, the 42nd day and the 6th month after delivery, while in test group they were (84.98 ± 1.20), (104.02 ± 1.42), (111.00 ± 1.45), (120.04 ± 1.40) points, the differences were statistically significan (Ftime=12.592, Fgroup=229.674, Finteractive=79.955, all P<0.05). The pure breastfeeding rates of primipara were 60.0％(33/55) , 41.8％(23/55), 21.8％(12/55) in control group on the 3rd day, the 42nd day and the 6th month after delivery, they were 84.7％(50/59), 76.3％(45/59) , 49.2％(29/59) in the test group. The differences was statistically significant (χ2=8.804, 14.038, 9.235, all P <0.01).

Objective: This article reported the clinical characteristics and gene mutations of two pseudoachondroplasia cases, and made a literature review in order to improve clinicians′ understanding of the disease. Methods: Clinical features of two patients who were short stature accompanied with skeletal deformities were summarized, and they accepted whole exome sequencing. We also reviewed literature to summarize the clinical characteristics and known gene research progress of all reported Chinese pseudoachondroplasia cases. Results: The two patients′ clinical characteristics were short limbdwarfism with skeletal deformity. Genetic results showed that there were two heterozygous mutations in the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) gene of the two patients, c. 1417_1419delGAC and c. 1552G>A, respectively. Up to March 2019, a total of 58 cases of pseudoachondroplasia have been reported in China. The median height of these patients is -5.03 SDS. The clinical features include abnormal gait, short limbs, short fingers/toes, scoliosis, bracelet sign, ankle sign and other skeletal deformities. COMP is the pathogenic gene and mutations mainly located in calmodulin-like domains. The hotspot mutation is c. 1417_1419delGAC. Conclusions Pseudoachondroplasia is a kind of rare genetic disease characterized by short stature and skeletal deformities. The clinical and genetic characteristics of the disease were summarized, which may improve the early diagnosis rate.
