Objective :
To investigate the trends in incidence of malignant tumors in Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province from 2013 to 2019, so as to provide insights into formulation of the malignant tumor control strategy.
Methods:
Data pertaining to the incidence of malignant tumors from 2013 to 2019 were captured from the Zhejiang Chronic Disease Monitoring Information System. Based on the International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision (ICD-10) and data from the national population census, the constituent ratio, crude incidence and Chinese population-standardized incidence of malignant tumors were estimated, and the trends in incidence of malignant tumors were investigated using annual percent change (APC).
Results:
The annual mean crude incidence and Chinese population-standardized incidence of malignant tumors were 356.75/105 and 226.97/105, which both appeared an overall tendency towards a rise (APC=5.887% and 4.815%, both P<0.05). The crude incidence of malignant tumors appeared a tendency towards a rise among both men (APC=3.860%, P<0.05) and women (APC=8.534%, P<0.05) from 2013 to 2019, and the Chinese population-standardized incidence of malignant tumors appeared a tendency towards a rise among women (APC=8.392%, P<0.05). The largest increase in the crude incidence of malignant tumors was seen among women at ages of 15 to 44 years (APC=11.599%, P<0.05). In addition, the Chinese population-standardized incidence of lung cancer, colorectal cancer and thyroid cancer all showed a tendency towards a rise among men (all P<0.05), and the Chinese population-standardized incidence of lung cancer and thyroid cancer both appeared a tendency towards a rise among women (both P<0.05).
Conclusions
The incidence of malignant tumors showed a tendency towards a rise in Yongkang City from 2013 to 2019, and the elderly and young females are high-risk populations for malignant tumors. Lung cancer, thyroid cancer and colorectal cancer are cancers that should be given a high priority.

Objective:
To observe the incidence of unreasonable use of high beam at nighttime among motor vehicle drivers, so as to provide the evidence for the prevention and control of road traffic injury.
Methods:
Four roads into city and five urban roads were selected in Yongkang of Zhejiang Province. An automatic recording system was used to collect the unreasonable use of high beam among motor vehicle drivers on the selected roads from 19:00 to 5:00 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday during a week in July 2020. The regression tree model was used to analyze the relationship of the unreasonable use of high beam with road, time and traffic flow.
Results:
A total of 89 989 motor vehicles were observed, and 2 419 motor vehicle drivers had unreasonable use of high beam, with an incidence rate of 2.69%. The incidence rate of the unreasonable use of high beam was 3.14% in the roads into city, which was higher than 2.30% in the urban roads ( P<0.05 ). The incidence rates of the unreasonable use of high beam in the roads into city and in the urban roads were 5.15% and 2.90% on Wednesday, which were higher than those on Monday ( 2.89% and 2.34% ), Friday ( 2.90% and 1.92% ) and Sunday (2.06% and 2.12%). The highest incidence rate of the unreasonable use of high beam in the roads into city was 6.07% between 4:00 and 5:00, and in the urban roads was 4.50% between 2:00 and 3:00. The results of regression tree classification analysis showed that the highest incidence rate was 8.13% on the roads into city in the east, west and south directions, and on the urban roads in the east and north directions with less than 317 vehicles per hour on Wednesday.
Conclusion
It is more likely for motor vehicle drivers to use high beams unreasonably at nighttime on the roads into city with less traffic flow.

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Pathological increase of MIF is sufficient to promote inflammation, aggravate metabolic dysfunction, and increase oxidative stress. MIF inhibition, through either gene knockout or pharmacological inhibitors, is clinically beneficial for treatment. Ironically, both detrimental and beneficial effects of MIF have been reported in ischemic stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, and spinal cord injury; thus, the roles of MIF appear to be bidirectional in the central nervous system. In the current review, we focus on the roles of MIF in the central nervous system, as well as its regulating mechanisms.

Objective:
To investigate the status quo and influencing factors of work burnout of psychiatric nurses, and to provide theoretical basis for formulating intervention strategies for work burnout of psychiatric nurses.
Methods:
A questionnaire was conducted on 812 nurses selected from 6 tertiary A psychiatric hospitals in Shandong province as the research object by stratified random sampling, and the questionnaire was conducted by using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) and Emotion regulation questionnaire (ERQ).
Results:
There were significant differences in job burnout among psychiatric nurses with different educational background, age, nurse-patient conflict and income level. There were significant differences in the dimensions of job burnout among psychiatric nurses with different titles (

Objective To explore the predictive value of immune inflammation combined with liver function hematological indicators for the metastasis of colorectal cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 133 patients with colorectal cancer was conducted. The patients were divided into three groups based on disease progression after 24 months of postoperative follow-up: non-metastasis group (n=38), liver metastasis group (n=43), and non-liver distant metastasis group (n=52). The immune inflammatory markers and liver function hematological indicators of progression-free survival were analyzed. Nomogram prediction models were constructed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to identify risk factors for metastasis of colorectal cancer. The accuracy of the nomogram was validated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve, and the clinical predictive efficacy was evaluated through decision curve and clinical impact curve. Results Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that pan-immune-inflammatory value (PIV), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and bile acid (BA) were independent predictors of colorectal cancer metastasis. The area under the ROC curve of the combined prediction of metastasis was 0.84; neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and BA were independent predictors of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. The area under the ROC curve of the combined prediction of liver metastasis was 0.83; PIV and PNI were independent predictive factors for the occurrence of non-liver distant metastasis from colorectal cancer. The area under the ROC curve for the combined prediction of non-liver distant metastasis was 0.83. The calibration curve, decision curve, and clinical impact curve showed that the three models had good accuracy and net benefit value. Conclusion The nomogram constructed based on immune inflammation and liver function hematological indicators can predict the metastasis of patients with colorectal cancer and has high predictive efficacy and clinical application prospects.
