Objective:To investigate the acceptance of advance care planning and its influencing factors in heart failure patients.Methods:A total of 208 patients with heart failure were surveyed by general data questionnaires and advance care planning acceptance questionnaires.Results:The total score of advance care planning acceptance of heart failure patients was (44.26 ± 11.73), the score of feeling dimension was (13.67 ± 5.72), the score of attitude dimension was (30.59 ± 6.33). 53.4%(111/208) of patients were willing to accept the talking about advance care planning. Regression analysis results showed that education level, New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, communication status with medical staff and whether they had received life-sustaining treatment were important factors influencing of the acceptance of advance care planning in patients with heart failure.Conclusion:Patients with heart failure had higher acceptance of advance care planning. In clinical work, it is necessary to strengthen the scientific popularization of advance care planning in patients with low education level, low NYHA grade and no exposure to life-sustaining treatment. And strengthen the daily communication with patients to prepare for the follow-up advance care planning related communication.

Objective:To establish a 10-year comparison table of cerebrovascular function score and first stroke risk, and to provide a new method for screening of high-risk population of stroke.Methods:In the beginning of 2003, a cohort for studing stroke risk factors in those aged 40 years and over was established in a community of Shanghai by cluster sampling. The common risk factors of stroke were investigated with a unified questionnaire, and the cerebrovascular function (cerebral vascular hemodynamic indexes, CVHI) was measured. The baseline study was completed from April to June 2003 and December 2004 to January 2005, respectively. The incident of first stroke and all cause of death were followed up year by year. The follow-up period was up to December 31, 2014. The 10-year incidence of first stroke was calculated according to the baseline score of cerebrovascular function, and the score-risk control table was established to estimate 10-year first stroke risk in each score group. The role of cerebrovascular function score in stroke was also estimated.Results:The follow-up term of 10 565 participants was (10.26±2.00) years, and 350 patients had first stroke during the follow-up. The trend 10-year incidence of first stroke both in men and women was significantly increased with the decrease of the score of cerebrovascular function (trend χ2=296.125, P<0.01). As the 10-year risk of first stroke was higher than 5% and higher than 10%, the corresponding CVHI score was lower than 70 and 40 points in males and lower than 30 and 20 points in females. When the scores of cerebral vascular function were divided by every 25 points, incidence of first stroke in each group from top to bottom was 1.9%, 4.7%, 10.8%, 15.2% in males and 1.6%, 4.4%, 4.8%, 11.4% in females, respectively. As compared to the top, the relative risk (95% CI) of first stroke in the lower groups was 2.61(1.67-4.07), 6.46(4.22-9.89), 9.74(6.53-14.52) for males and 2.82(1.93-4.12), 3.15(1.99-4.99), 8.12(5.65-11.68) for females, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the factors being selected into the regression equation were cerebrovascular function score, age, hypertension history, stroke family history and smoking history, among which the role of cerebrovascular function score was the strongest. Conclusion:The risk of first stroke increases significantly with the decrease of cerebrovascular function score, which can be used to assess the 10-year risk of first stroke.

Objective: To compare the accumulative scores of cerebrovascular hemodynamic parameters (CVHP) in different populations and to analyze the relationship between the change of accumulative scores and the risk of stroke. Methods: A total of 10 565 participants aged 40 years and above were selected from a cluster sampling community-based population. Their risk factors were investigated and CVHP was evaluated. The CVHP scores were accumulated by a unified approach, and the incidence of stroke was followed up. The participants were grouped into health adult, single factor exposure, multiple-factor exposure, and newly developed stroke during the follow-up period. The differences of CVHP accumulative scores and the change law among the 4 groups were compared respectively according to age and sex. Results: The accumu-lative scores of the mean (SD) CVHP in the health adult, single factor exposure, multiple-factor exposure, and newly developed stroke groups were 86.44 (20.69), 72.07 (28.10), 60.82(34.64), and4.01 (29.36) in men respectively, and they were 83.95 (22.19), 67.97 (29.73),59.91 (31.34), and 42.64 (28.00) in women respectively, which had a tendency to gradually decrease. The accumulative scores of CVHP and their distributions at the same age stage in all the 4 groups had significant differences (P < 0.01 ). The accumulative scores of CVHP and their distributions for the same factors between all age groups also had significant differences (P <0. 01). Conclusions: The accumulative scores of CVHP had a tendency to gradually decrease from the health adults, risk factor exposure to high risk status before stroke. The decrease of the accumulative scores is closely associated with the increase of stroke risk, which can be used as a predictor of stroke.

Objective To study military medical graduates' psychological elastic characteris-tics and the key influencing factors. Methods A comparative study of 817 graduate students and 597 undergraduate students in a military academy was conducted by using positive negative emotions, pos-itive and negative cognitive bias and Mental Resilience Scale. Independent sample t-test, single factor analysis of variance, correlation analysis, and step-wise regression analysis were conducted by SPSS 18.0 for data analysis. Results ①Resilience scores of postgraduate students were significantly lower than those of undergraduate students (76.01 ±11.43 vs. 80.00 ±10.26, t=-6.76, P<0.01). Resilience scores of military postgraduates were significantly higher than those of local postgraduates (77.18 ± 11.59 vs. 74.97±11.19, t=2.77, P<0.05). Resilience scores of female postgraduates were significantly lower than those of males (74.79 ±10.83 vs. 76.94 ±11.78, t=2.68, P<0.05), reflected in factors of tenacity and strength. ②Resilience and its factors were positively related to positive affect and atten-tion to positive information (r=0.448~0.625, P<0.01), while negatively related to negative affect and attention to negative information (r=-0.206~-0.448, P<0.01). ③Regression analysis showed that posi-tive and negative emotion, attention to positive and negative information can significantly predict re-silience, accounting for the variance of 53.7%. ④Positive and negative affect partially mediated the relationship between attention to positive information and positive affect and resilience. Conclusion Attention to positive information and positive affect may be potential targets for intervention to enhance the level of resilience among military medical postgraduate students.
