ObjectiveTo investigate ultrasonographic signs as the factors for the recurrence of gallstones and polypoid lesion of the gallbla-dder in patients undergoing gallbladder-preserving surgery. MethodsRelated signs including gallbladder size, sound transmission of the gallbladder, gallbladder wall thickness, cholestasis, gallbladder contraction function, and common bile duct diameter measured by preoperative and postoperative ultrasonography, as well as the recurrence of gallstones and polypoid lesions of the gallbladder after surgery, were collected from 700 patients who underwent gallbladder-preserving surgery in Huangshi Central Hospital from January 2011 to February 2015. The Fisher′s exact test and Cox proportional hazards regression model were applied for univariate and multivariate analysis of related factors for recurrence after gallbladder-preserving surgery. ResultsThe shortest and longest follow-up time was 6 months and 48 months, respectively, and the mean follow-up time was 18±12 months. Among the 700 patients, 1 experienced recurrence of gallstones at 1 month after surgery, 2 experienced recurrence of gallstones at 6 months after surgery, 1 experienced recurrence of gallstones at 12 months after surgery, and 1 experienced recurrence of polypoid lesions of the gallbladder at 24 months after surgery. The mean time to recurrence of gallstones and polypoid lesions was 9.8 months after surgery, and the recurrence rate was 0.71% (5/700). The univariate analysis showed that gallbladder wall thickness ≥4 mm, gallbladder contraction function <30%, and cholestasis were significantly associated with the recurrence of gallstones and polypoid lesions (all P<0.05). The multivariate analysis showed that gallbladder wall thickness ≥4 mm, cholestasis, and gallbladder contraction function <30% were independent factors for recurrence after gallbladder-preserving surgery (P=0000 3, 0.040 0, and 0.040 0). ConclusionUltrasonography shows that gallbladder wall thickness ≥4 mm, gallbladder contraction function <30%, and cholestasis are closely associated with the recurrence of gallstones and polypoid lesions of the gallbladder.

Objective:
To understand the current situation and association of eHealth literacy with physical health of college students, so as to provide a basis for physical health improvement.
Methods:
By using stratified random clustering sampling method, a total of 1 446 students from first to third year of college in four colleges and universities in Dongguan were selected for the eHealth literacy questionnaire and physical fitness test.
Results:
The average eHealth literacy score of college students was(29.72±6.19), with a pass rate of 48.8%. The scores for each dimension were application ability (18.57±4.10), judgment ability (7.48± 1.67 ), and decision making ability (3.67±0.91). The differences in eHealth literacy scores among college students with different birthplaces, family upbringing and frequency of participation in outdoor sports were statistically significant( t/F=-2.44, 3.51, 10.19 , P <0.05). The mean score of physical fitness was (73.20±7.86), with a failure rate of 5.0%, a passing rate of 77.0%, a success rate of 17.1%, and an excellent rate of 0.8%. The differences in scores of physical fitness test varied significantly by gender, grade, and frequency of participation in outdoor sports( Z=-2.27, 8.75, 39.90, P <0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that eHealth literacy and the three dimensions of application ability, judgment ability, and decision making ability were positively correlated with total physical fitness test scores( r=0.17, 0.18, 0.16, 0.19, P <0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that after adjusted for gender, grade, and frequency of participation in outdoor sports, eHealth literacy application ability, judgment ability, and decision making ability could significantly and positively affect physical fitness test score( β=0.13, 0.12, 0.12, P < 0.05 ).
Conclusion
Physical fitness of college students is associated with eHealth literacy,promotion of eHealth literacy among college students help improve physical health status.

Objective To explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography ( CEUS ) breast predictive model in the optimization of BI-RADS classification of breast lesions . Methods A total of 1049 BI-RADS 4 ,5 breast lesions were obtained from 1039 patients in 8 centers . CEUS examination was performed prior to biopsy or surgery . According to the classification of the model ,class 3 ,4A ,4B and 4C were selected as biopsy thresholds ,and the ROC curve was drawn . The diagnostic sensitivity ,specificity , accuracy ,positive predictive value ,negative predictive value and Jordanian index were calculated for the biopsy threshold . The biopsy rate of breast lesions before and after angiography ,cancer detection rate , follow-up cases of malignant risk were compared . Results There were benign lesions 586 ( 55 .9% ) , malignant lesions 463 (44 .1% ) in the 1049 breast lesions . The area of ROC with thresholds of 3 ,4A ,4B and 4C were 0 .695 ,0 .838 ,0 .847 and 0 .757 ,respectively ( all P < 0 .01) . Ultrasonography had a certain diagnostic effect on benign and malignant breast lesions . The diagnostic sensitivity ,specificity ,accuracy , positive predictive value and negative predictive value with class 4A after CEUS set as the biopsy threshold were 93 .32% ,75 .65% ,82 .75% ,75 .57% and 93 .35% ,respectively ,and the Jordanian index was 0 .690 . When chass 3 after CEUS was set as the biopsy threshold ,the biopsy rate was reduced from 100% to 76 .74% ,the detection rate was increased from 44 .23% to 56 .77% ,and the risk of cancer was only 0 .67% in the follow-up cases . When class 4A was set as the biopsy threshold ,the biopsy rate was reduced from 100% to 55 .58% after CEUS . The detection rate of cancer increased from 44 .23% to 74 .44% . The risk of cancer was 2 .96% . Conclusions The biopsy rate of breast lesions in category 4 and 5 would be reduced and cancer detection rate of them would be increased after CEUS ,however ,the risk of malignancy in the follow -up cases would be controlled as low as category 3 and 4A in previous BI-RADS . Thus ,CEUS has a good prospect of in optimizing BI-RADS and reducing biopsy rate in unnecessary lesions .

Objective:To explore the advantages of the modified right renal artery dissection in the laparoscopic resection of right renal carcinoma combined with venous tumor thrombus.Methods:From January 2016 to June 2016, a retrospective analysis of the three-dimensional CT images of renal blood vessels in 70 patients with full abdominal CT plain scan plus enhanced scan from Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University was performed. On the sagittal plane of the right margin of the aorta, the right renal artery was detected to locate above the left renal vein in 14 cases (20.0%), posterior in 33 cases(47.1%), and below in 23 cases(32.9%). In addition, on the sagittal plane of the left margin of the inferior vena cava, the right renal artery was detected to locate above the left renal vein in 1 case (1.4%), posterior in 26 cases(37.1%), and below in 43 cases (61.4%). Based on this finding, 11 patients with right kidney cancer combined with venous tumor thrombus, admitted to Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from June 2016 to December 2019, were retrospectively analyzed. The average age of the patients was(58.7±6.8)(45-68) years old. The CT three-dimensional reconstruction of the renal blood vessels was shown on the sagittal plane of the right margin of the aorta before the operation, and the right renal artery was detected to locate above the left renal vein in 0 cases, posterior in 7 cases, and lower in 4 cases. On the sagittal plane of the left margin of the inferior vena cava, the right renal artery was detected to locate above the left renal vein in 0 case, behind in 3 cases, and below in 8 cases. Renal tumors are located in the upper middle in 5 cases and in the lower middle in 6 cases. The maximum diameter of the tumor to be resected was 8.5-12.0 cm, with an average of (10.0±1.4) cm. Among them, 4 cases had Mayo grade 0 tumor thrombus, 4 cases were grade Ⅰ tumor thrombus, and 3 cases were grade Ⅱ tumor thrombus. All 11 cases underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic surgery. During the operation, it was found that the relationship between the right renal artery and the left renal vein was consistent with the preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction of renal blood vessels. The modified right renal artery dissection method was used, that is, the right renal artery was detected and ligated between the inferior vena cava and the aorta, using the left renal vein as a mark, and then the right kidneys and vein tumor thrombi were removed.Results:All of the 11 operations in this group were completed successfully. The operation time was (110.5±29.8)(70-150) min, the average time of right renal artery dissection was(28.5±5.8)(16- 33) min, and the amount of intraoperative bleeding was(112.7±83.5)(20-300) ml. No serious complications occurred during the operation in 11 cases. Postoperative pathological examination showed 10 cases of clear cell carcinoma and 1 case of papillary cell carcinoma. The postoperative hospital stay was 4.2 (4.18±0.75) days. There were no complications such as secondary bleeding, infection, lower extremity venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. All 11 patients were followed up for 3 to 42 months, with an average of(19.5±12.1) months. One patient died 23 months after the operation, and no tumor recurrence or metastasis occurred in the remaining patients.Conclusions:When the right renal artery runs to the left edge of the inferior vena cava, it is mostly behind the left renal vein. In the laparoscopic resection of right renal cancer with venous tumor thrombus, the modified right renal artery dissection method can quickly find and dissociate the right renal artery. The operation time is short, the intraoperative bleeding is less, and no postoperative complications occur.
