Objective To investigate the relationship among health literacy and treatment compliance and prognosis in patients with diabetes combined tuberculosis.Methods One hundred and eighty-one cases patients with diabetes combined tuberculosis were selected as the objectives and evaluated literacy level,compliance scale by the health literacy scale and compliance questionnaires.The control of tuberculosis,blood glucose control,treatment compliance and prognosis were analyzed in the patients with different health literacy level.Results Of 181 patients,there were 89 cases patients'(basic health literacy group) the total scores of health literacy and compliance were>80 points,the efficacy of pulmonary tuberculosis control and blood sugar control were respectively 84.2% (75/89) and 93.2% (83/89);92 cases patients' the total scores of health literacy and compliance were ≤ 80 points,the efficacy of pulmonary tuberculosis control and blood sugar control were respectively 59.7% (55/92) and 67.4% (62/92),the differences were significant (x2 =12.78,18.11;P <0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that the total scores of health literacy were positive correlated with the scores of treatment compliance (r =0.688,P < 0.001).Logistic regression analysis showed that three dimension of health literacy (health knowledge and concept,healthy lifestyle and behavior,health skills) that can combined predict the variance of rehabilitation compliance(P<0.01).Conclusion The health literacy level of diabetes combined tuberculosis patients can effectively predict the rehabilitation compliance.Measures should be taken to improve the patient's level of health literacy,so as improve the compliance of rehabilitation and prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the value of positive 99Tcm-MIBI tumor imaging for thyroid cancer diagnosis. Methods Fifty four suspected thyroid cancer patients underwent 99Tcm-O4 and 99Tcm-MIBI combined imaging procedure. The imaging data were confirmed by pathological findings. Results All the 54 cases had single throid nodules, and 25 of which were pathologically malignant. Fifty two cases of nodules were detected by the 99Tcm O4 thyroid static imaging, including 2 hot nodules,4 warm nodules, 10 cool nodules and 36 cold nodules;2 cases were negative by the imaging. Of the 25 malignant thyroid nodules, 16 nodules were visible by 99Tcm-MIBI uptake and were cold nodules;29 exhibited benign thyroid nodules,of which 15 could be seen by 99Tcm-MIBI uptake,including 1 warm nodules,2 cool nodules and 12 cold nodules. The sensitivity, specificity of the combined imaging of 99Tcm O4 and 99Tcm-MIBI were 64. 00% ( 16/25 ) and 48. 28% (14/29). No significant difference was found for the positivity between benign nodules and malignancy nodules by 99Tcm-MIBI tumor imaging ( χ2 = 0. 83, P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion 99Tcm-MIBI tumor imaging is not specific for the diagnosis of thyroid malignancy.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of mammographic calcifications found by mammary molybdenum target inspection.Methods 150 women who were found out with breast calcifications by mammary molybdenum target inspection and had been treated with surgical excision biopsy were selected.Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Results In 150 cases of mammographic calcifications,102 cases were benign lesions by pathologic diagnosis,and 48 cases were malignant.Compared the morphological characteristics of the benign and malignant breast calcifications,the nature of the lesion was associated with lesion size (x2 =5.55),the density of calcification (x2 =7.591) and the distribution of calcifications (x2 =11.859).Conclusion Mammographic calcifications found by mammary molybdenum target inspection has a certain clinical value for diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer,so such patients should be encouraged to do biopsy to diagnose or exclude breast cancer.
