Objective It is thought that environmental agents, especially the diet, play an important role in the processes of gastric cancer. The study was designed to investigate the relationship between dietary factors and the risk of gastric cancer in residents of islands so as to offer the evidence for effective measures of prevention and control. Methods A frequency matched design of case control study was used. 103 cases of gastric cancer newly diagnosed in 2001 and 133 controls were randomly selected among the residents of islands. And dietary factors were further investigated. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of dietary factors on the processes of gastric cancer were estimated using unconditional logistic regression models. Results After the correction of the effects of some non diet factors, increased risks of gastric cancer were associated with hot diet (OR=1.48,95%CI:1.03 2.14) and pickled food (OR=2.63,95%CI:1.74 3.98). An inversed association with the risk of gastric cancer was seen in sauting (OR=0.33,95%CI:0.13 0.83 ), food eaten at regular time (OR=0.29,95%CI:0.19 0.44), allium vegetables (OR=0.43,95%CI:0.22 0.82) and carrot (OR=0.10,95%CI:0.02 0.41). Furthermore, PARc% of hot diet and pickled food were 11.8% and 57.8% respectively, which suggested that the carcinogenic effect of hot diet and pickled food on stomach in the population reached about 70% after the correction of the effect of other factors.Conclusions Pickled food and hot diet as the habits of residents in Zhoushan islands are important risk factors for gastric cancer, while decreased risk effect is found in sauting food, having regular dietary time and frequently eating allium vegetables and carrot.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of the " Internet plus nursing services" for the elderly in Ningbo, and evaluate the promotion effect of the pilot policy, for reference to further optimize such service policy of China nationwide.Methods:The data came from the orders for " Internet plus nursing services" by elderly users over 60 years on the " cloud hospital" platform in Ningbo from 2016 to 2021. Descriptive analysis was used to study major demographic information, types of service items and number of person-times of the elderly users; The promotion effect of the pilot policy on " Internet plus nursing services" for the elderly in 2019 was analysed by Chow test.Results:The number of elderly users increased from 76 person-times in 2016 to 5 923 person-times in 2021, accumulating up to 12 209 person-times. The number of nursing service items increased from 18 in 2016 to 36 in 2021. The person-times of users of common clinical nursing and specialized nursing service items were 11 850 and 359 respectively. After the pilot policy was issued, the number of service items and the number of users were significantly increased in 2020( P<0.05). Conclusions:The development of " Internet plus nursing services" for the elderly in Ningbo had achieved certain results, especially with the promotion of the pilot policy in 2019, the types of service items and the number of elderly users had increased year by year. In the future, we should continue to focus on the elderly living alone and other special elderly groups with the support of relevant policies, further expand the scale of elderly users, improve the types of service items, and optimize the charging standards to help China′s healthy aging process.

Objective:To understand the current status of gastroscopy in diagnosing gastric lesions in general population, and to recommend the optimal age for the first gastroscopy and intervals for repeated gastroscopy.Methods:The gastroscopy records of residents aged 18-80 years in Yinzhou District of Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, between April 2010 and December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The detections of gastric lesions across different years, age and genders were described. Goodness of fit tests were applied to compare the differences in detection rates of different lesions in first-time endoscopy in different age groups and different populations. Generalized additive models were used to fit the trend of age specific gastric lesion detection rate explore the optimal age for gastroscopy. The appropriate gastroscopy intervals were determined according to the progress of the gastric lesions detected in repeated gastroscopy.Results:A total of 237 751 participants with 344 398 gastroscopy records were included in analyses. A total of 5 597 cases of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), 9 796 cases of intestinal metaplasia (IM), 165 cases of low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN), 52 cases of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN) and 435 cases of gastric cancer were detected by the first gastroscopy. The overall detection rate of gastric lesions increased significantly in age group 45-70 years, and remained stable after 70 years old, with LGIN and HGIN showing notable increases at 50 and 55 years old, respectively. Repeated gastroscopy detected CAG, IM, LGIN, and HGIN at a higher rate compared with the first gastroscopy. Normal/superficial gastritis progressed in 3-5 years, whereas CAG or more severe lesions progressed in 1-6 years.Conclusion:Gastroscopy is recommended for general population aged 45 years and above. Furthermore, gastroscopy can be performed every 3-5 years for individuals with normal endoscopy results and once a year for patients with CAG or more severe gastric lesions.
