Objective:To evaluate the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 (EDE-Q 6.0) in female patients with eating disorders.Methods:A total of 239 patients with eating disorder and 142 healthy controls who were recruited consented to participate in the study and completed Chinese EDE-Q 6.0.Confirmatory factor analysis was used in patients to compare the original 4-factor model,1-factor model and 3-factor model.The criterion validity was tested with the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI).Mann-Whitney U analysis was used to compare the differences of EDE-Q 6.0 scores on the two samples to test the empirical validity,and ROC analysis was used to determine the cut-off value.The internal consistency of the scale was tested in two samples.Among all participants,89 patients and 31 healthy controls were retested 1 month later.Results:The original 4-factor model fit better than the other two.The EDE-Q 6.0 total score and the EDI total score had a high consistency in the total sample,patients and controls,respectively (ICC =0.88,0.87,0.73).Patients had higher scores on the EDE-Q 6.0 than controls (Ps ＜0.01).The mean area under the curve (AUC) of EDE-Q 6.0 was 0.91,the optimal cut-off point of EDE-Q 6.0 was total score ≥ 1.27,sensitivity and specificity were 79.4％ and 88.2％ respectively.The Cronbach α coefficients were 0.95,0.91,and 0.88 for the total sample,patients and controls respectively.The test-retest reliabilities were 0.73 for the total scale,0.58,0.68,0.69 and 0.71 for the 4 factors.Conclusion:The Chinese version of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 have good psychometric properties and diagnosis accuracy,and it could be used to assess the severity of clinical symptoms.

Objective To explore the efficacy and feasibility of laparoscopy-assisted radical total gastrectomy in the treatment of cancer of the cardia and fundus. Methods The clinical data of 176 patients with cancer of the cardia and fundus who received total gastrectomy at the Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University from April 2007 to April 2009 were retrospectively analysed. Among the patients, 81 received laparoscopic total gastrectomy ( LATG group) and 95 received open total gastrectomy ( OTG group). The patients' intra- and postoperative conditions, clearance of lymph nodes, morbidity and mortality were analysed using the chi-square test and t test. Results All the operations were successfully carried out. The intraoperative blood loss was (98 ± 84) ml in the LATG group and (339±245) ml in the OTG group. Three patients in the LATG group and 19 in the OTG group received blood transfusion. The time to first flatus and postoperative hospital stay were (3.9 ± 1.1) days and (13 ± 5) days in the LATG group, and (5.0 ± 1.6) days and (15 ± 5) days in the OTG group, respectively.There were significant differences in the time to first flatus and postoperative hospital stay between the LATG group and OTG group (t = 4.16, x2 = 6.82, t = 4. 57, 2. 83, P ＜ 0. 05). The mean number of lymph nodes dissected was 28 ± 12 in the LATG group and 29 ± 11 in the OTG group, with no significant differences between the two groups (t = 0. 42, P ＞0.05). The number of lymph nodes dissected in patients with T1, T2 and T3 stages were 21 ±8, 25 ±7 and 29 ± 11 in the LATG group, and 29 ± 12, 31 ±9 and 28 ± 11 in the OTG group, respectively,with no significant differences between the two groups (t = 1.53, 1.90, 0. 65, P ＞ 0.05). The morbidity and mortality rates of the LATG group were 11%( 9/81 ) and 0, and 19% ( 18/95 ) and 1% ( 1/95 ) in the OTG group, with no significant differences between the two groups (x2 = 2.07, 1.18, P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion The efficacy of laparoscopy-assisted radical total gastrectomy is similar to that of open gastrectomy. Laparoscopy-assisted radical total gastrectomy is a safe and feasible procedure that leads to quick postoperative recovery.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic spleen-preserving hilar lymph nodes dissection based on splenic hilar vascular anatomy.MethodsFrom July 2010 to March 2011,the clinical data of 39 patients with advanced proximal gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopic spleen-preserving hilar lymph nodes dissection at the Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.Different types of vascular anatomy were analyzed,and different methods of lymph node dissection in the splenic hilus were adopted accordingly.ResultsThe operation was successfully performed on all the patients,with no conversion to open surgery or splenectomy due to splenic vascular or parenchyma injury.There were 4 types of splenic artery running,including type Ⅰ (25 patients),type Ⅱ (8 patients),type Ⅲ (4 patients) and type Ⅳ (2 patients).There were 2 types of the end branches of splenic artery,including concentrated type (28 patients) and dispersion type (11 patients).The splenic lobial vessels of all the patients were anatomically classified and divided into 4 types,including a single branch of splenic lobial vessels in 3 patients,2 branches in 24 patients,3 branches in 11 patients and multibranches in 1 patient.The mean number of short gastric vessels was 3.2 ± 1.4 (range,2-6).The time for dissection of the lymph nodes in the splenic hilum,number of lymph nodes dissected in the splenic hilum,volume of operative blood loss,duration of hospital stay and incidence of complications were ( 30 ±7)minutes,2.8 ±2.1,(20 ±7)ml (range,0-55 ml),(10 ± 1) days and 10％ (4/39).All patients were followed up until March,2012. One patient had hepatic metastasis,and no patient died postoperatively.ConclusionFamiliar with the variation of splenic hllar vascular anatomy is helpful in mastering and promoting laparoscopic spleen-preserving hilar lymph nodes dissection.

Objective: To explore the effect of different selenium sources on the function of humoral immunity and antioxidant capacity of rabbits. Method: Thirty-five rabbits were randomly divided into seven groups and vaccinated with rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) dead vaccine. At the same time, rabbits were injected respectively with sodium selenite (0.1 mg/kg bw and 0.3 mg/kg bw), Kappa-selenocanageenan (0.1 mg/kgbw and 0.3 mg/kg bw), DL-selenomethionine (0.1 mg/kg bw and 0.3 mg/kg bw) and physiological saline as control. Antibody against RHD, activity of GSH-Px and content of MDA in rabbit serum were detected on 0, 10, 20, 30d after inoculation. Results: Sodium selenite (0.1 mg/kg bw), Kappa- selenocanageenan (0.3 mg/kg), and DL-selenomethionine (0.3mg/kg bw) could significantly increase the level of RHD antibody. Sodium selenite (0.3 mg/kg bw) and Kappa-selenocanageenan (0.3mg/kg bw) improved the activity of GSH-Px. All selenium groups could decrease serum MDA, but Kappa-selenocanageenan (0.3 mg/kg bw) showed the best effect. Conclusion: Kappa-selenocanageenan (0.3 mg/kg bw) was better than the lower dosage and other selenium sources in the effects on the function in humoral immunity and antioxidant capacity of rabbits.

A method of metal organic nanotubes-based dispersive solid phase extraction-gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed for sensitive analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls in environmental water samples.Related important factors influencing enrichment efficiency, such as ionic strength, extraction time and amount of adsorbent, were investigated.Response surface methodology was used to optimize these factors in detail.Under the optimal conditions such as 4.92% (w/V) NaCl, 4.5 min of extraction time, 62.5 mg of adsorbent, and n-hexane as desorption solvent, wide linearity (2-1000 ng/L or 5-1000 ng/L), and low limits of detection (0.26-0.82 ng/L) were achieved.The intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations were 0.8%-5.5% (200 ng/L, n=6)and 2.7%-7.4% (200 ng/L, n=6), respectively.Finally, this method was successfully applied to the sensitive analysis of 6 kinds of PCBs in environmental water samples, with satisfactory recoveries of 78.9%-113.3%.

Objective To investigate the impact of preoperative comorbidities on the abdominal complications after laparoscope-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) for gastric cancer.Methods The retrospective casecontrol study was conducted.The clinical data of 1 657 gastric cancer patients who underwent LATG at the Fujian Medical University Union Hospital between January 2008 and December 2015 were collected.There were 175 patients with postoperative abdominal complications,including 78 without preoperative comorbidities and 97 with preoperative comorbidities (52 with 1 comorbidity,30 with 2 comorbidities and 15 with more than 3 comorbidities).Analysis method and observation indicators:(1) risk factors analysis of abdominal complications after LATG;(2) risk assessment of abdominal complications after LATG:independent influencing factors of risk factors analysis were expressed as dependent variables,alignment diagram was built and then consistency index was calculated;(3) comparisons of abdominal complications among the patients with different kinds of comorbidities after LATG;(4) multivariate analysis of abdominal complications in patients with comorbidities after LATG;(5)follow-up situations.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect postoperative survival of patients up to May 2016.The univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were respectively done using the chi-square test and Logistic regression model.The survival rate was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method.Results (1) Risk factors analysis of abdominal complications after LATG:results of univariate analysis showed that age,body mass index (BMI),number of preoperative comorbidities,operation time and estimated volume of intraoperative blood loss were related factors affecting abdominal complications of patients after LATG (X2 =4.487,16.602,10.361,4.567,7.482,P＜0.05).Results of multivariate analysis showed that BMI,number of preoperative comorbidities and estimated volume of intraoperative blood loss were independent factors affecting abdominal complications of patients after LATG [OR =1.966,1.204,1.423,95％confidence interval (CI):1.355-2.851,1.014-1.431,1.013-1.999,P＜0.05].(2) Risk assessment of abdominal complications after LATG:BMI,number of preoperative comorbidities and estimated volume of intraoperative blood loss were expressed as dependent variables,and the alignment diagram on risk prediction of abdominal complications after LATG was built,with a consistency index of 0.703.(3) Comparisons of abdominal complications among the patients with different kinds of comorbidities after LATG:numbers of patients without comorbidity,with 1 comorbidity,2 comorbidities and ≥3 comorbidities were detected in 21,8,13,3 patients with intra-abdominal infection and 13,10,9,5 patients with anastomotic leakage and 6,3,6,2 patients with intra-abdominal bleeding,respectively,with statistically significant differences (X2 =10.677,10.436,9.245,P＜0.05).(4) Multivariate analysis of abdominal complications in patients with comorbidities after LATG:BMI ≥25 kg/m2 and estimated volume of intraoperative blood loss ＞ 82 mL were independent risk factors affecting abdominal complications of patients with preoperative comorbidities after LATG (OR =2.104,1.771,95％ CI:1.307-3.387,1.146-2.738,P＜0.05).(5) Follow-up situations:of 1 657 patients,1 568 were followed up for 4-99 months,with a median time of 47 months.Ninety-seven patients with preoperative comorbidities undergoing LATG had postoperative abdominal complications and were followed up.During follow-up,5-year survival rate of patients was 58.1％,and 5-year survival rate of 97 patients with preoperative comorbidities undergoing LATG and with postoperative abdominal complications was 57.4％.Conclusion Preoperative comorbidities are independent factors affecting abdominal complications of patients after LATG.

Objective: To analyze the status of occupational medical examination (OME) institutions in Guangdong Province and the critical control points affecting their future development. Methods: A total of 211 OME institutions registered in Guangdong Province were selected as the research subjects. Their current statue was investigated, and the risk assessment of their future development was carried out based on hazard analysis and critical control point theory. Results: The OME institutions were mainly concentrated in the Pearl River Delta, accounting for 72.0%. The public and private medical and health institutions accounted for 70.6% and 29.4% respectively. The filing rates of different OME categories from high to low in the order were physical factors, chemical factors, dust, other, radiation factors, biological factors (P<0.01), and the filing rates were 89.6%, 88.6%, 84.8%, 63.0%, 7.1% and 1.0%, respectively. The rates of excellence in the field assessment from high to low in the order were hearing atlas analysis personnel, lung function examination operators, chest film reading personnel, chief examination physician, technical director, quality director (P<0.01), and the rates of excellence were 49.4%, 26.2%, 20.6%, 10.8%, 8.2% and 4.6%, respectively. A total of 37 institutions did not submit OME information, of which 23 institutions did not carry out OME work after filing. The required diagnosis rate and confirmed diagnosis rate of suspected occupational diseases in 2020 were 34.3% and 55.3%, respectively. In 2021, the detection rate of suspected occupational diseases was only 1.1‰. Among the institutions with biological monitoring records, 64.1% did not participate in external quality assessment program in laboratory, and the unqualified rate of 38 participating institutions was 55.3%. The risk assessment results show that the future development of OME institutions needs to focus on private institutions, institutions that have not reported OME information, institutions that have missed diagnosis and missed reporting of suspected occupational diseases, institutions that have not participated in external quality assessment program in laboratory and core personnel such as quality managers, technical leaders, and main inspection physicians. Conclusion: OME institutions in Guangdong Province show the characteristics of centralized filing category, centralized filing region and centralized filing institution nature. Combined with the potential risks of OME institutional capacity building, it is necessary to implement classified management, strengthen information construction, supervision and management, implement post responsibilities, and promote the high-quality development of OME institutions.

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to identify risk factors that were associated with the progression from endometriosis to ovarian cancer based on medical insurance data. METHODS: The study was performed on a dataset obtained from the National Health Insurance Research Database, which covered all the inpatient claim data from 2000 to 2013 in Taiwan. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code 617 was used to screen the dataset for the patients who were admitted to hospital due to endometriosis. They were then tracked for subsequent diagnosis of ovarian cancer, and available biological, socioeconomic and clinical information was also collected. Univariate and multivariate analyses were then performed based on the Cox regression model to identify risk factors. C-index was calculated and cross validated. RESULTS: A total of 229,617 patients who were admitted to hospital due to endometriosis from 2000 to 2013 were included in the study, out of whom 1,473 developed ovarian cancer by the end of 2013. A variety of factors, including age, residence, hospital stratification, premium range, and various comorbidities had significant impact on the progression (p < 0.05). Among them, age, urbanization of residence, hospital stratification, premium range, post-endometriosis childbearing, pelvic inflammation, and depression all had independent, significant impact (p < 0.05). The validated C-index was 0.69. CONCLUSION: For a woman diagnosed with endometriosis, increased age, residing in a highly urbanized area, low or high income, depression, pelvic inflammation, and absence of childbearing post-endometriosis all put her at high-risk to develop ovarian cancer. The findings may be of help to gynecologists to identify high-risk patients.
