Objective: To investigate the changing trends in the prevalence of health literacy among rural residents in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2021, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the health promotion strategy in rural areas. Methods: Rural residents' health literacy surveillance data were retrieved in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2021. The prevalence of health literacy was evaluated among rural residents according to the criteria defined by Chinese Center for Health Education, and standardized by Zhejiang Provincial population data captured from the national population census in China. The 6-year cumulative increase from 2016 to 2021 was estimated to investigate the changing trends in the prevalence of health literacy. Results: Totally 55 568 rural residents were monitored in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2021, including 26 893 men (48.40%) and 28 675 women (51.60%) and 32 156 residents at ages of 45 to 65 years (57.87%). The prevalence of health literacy was 18.00%, 21.52%, 25.53%, 27.54%, 30.85%, and 34.32% among rural residents in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2021, appearing a tendency towards a rise (χ2trend=661.376, P<0.001), and a 16.32% 6-year cumulative increase was seen. The prevalence of basic knowledge and concept, healthy lifestyle and behaviors and basic skills all appeared a tendency towards a rise (P<0.05), with 6-year cumulative increase rates of 24.48%, 11.08% and 8.11%, respectively. Among six categories of health issues, the prevalence of chronic disease prevention, scientific health outlook and health information literacy showed a tendency towards a rise year by year (P<0.05), with 6-year cumulative increase rates of 29.73%, 21.07% and 15.98%, respectively, and the prevalence of basic medical care, safety and first aid, and infectious disease prevention literacy appeared a fluctuation (P<0.05), with 6-year cumulative increase rates of 12.85%, 6.36% and -0.47%, respectively. The prevalence of health literacy appeared an overall tendency towards a rise in rural residents with different genders, age groups, educational levels and occupations (P<0.05), with a minor 6-year cumulative increase in residents at ages of 55 years and older and farmers, while a tendency towards a decline was seen among illiterate rural residents, with a 6-year cumulative rise of -3.16%. Conclusions The prevalence of health literacy appeared a tendency towards a rise among rural residents in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2021; however, the rate of increase reduced year by year. Health education and promotion should be enhanced targeting the elderly, individuals with low educational levels and farmers.

Excessive N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine(NAPQI)formation is a starting event that triggers oxidative stress and subsequent hepatocyte necrosis in acetaminophen(APAP)overdose caused acute liver failure(ALF).S-glutathionylation is a reversible redox post-translational modification and a prospective mechanism of APAP hepatotoxicity.Glutaredoxin-1(Glrx1),a glutathione-specific thioltransferase,is a primary enzyme to catalyze deglutathionylation.The objective of this study was to explored whether and how Glrx1 is associated with the development of ALF induced by APAP.The Glrx1 knockout mice(Glrx1-/-)and liver-specific overexpression of Glrx1(AAV8-Glrx1)mice were produced and underwent APAP-induced ALF.Pirfenidone(PFD),a potential inducer of Glrx1,was administrated preceding APAP to assess its protective effects.Our results revealed that the hepatic total protein S-glutathionylation(PSSG)increased and the Glrx1 level reduced in mice after APAP toxicity.Glrx1-/- mice were more sensitive to APAP overdose,with higher oxidative stress and more toxic metabolites of APAP.This was attributed to Glrx1 deficiency increasing the total hepatic PSSG and the S-glutathionylation of cytochrome p450 3a 11(Cyp3a11),which likely increased the activity of Cyp3a11.Conversely,AAV8-Glrx1 mice were defended against liver damage caused by APAP overdose by inhibiting the S-glutathionylation and activity of Cyp3a11,which reduced the toxic metabolites of APAP and oxidative stress.PFD precede administration upregulated Glrx1 expression and alleviated APAP-induced ALF by decreasing oxidative stress.We have identified the function of Glrx1 mediated PSSG in liver injury caused by APAP overdose.Increasing Glrx1 expression may be investigated for the medical treatment of APAP-caused hepatic injury.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the related factors of central lymph node metastasis(CLNM)in papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)with capsular invasion,and to construct a clinical nomogram prediction model.Its purpose is to provide theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.METHODS The clinical data of PTC patients with capsule invasion admitted to the Department of General Surgery,Baoding First Central Hospital from October,2020 to October,2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The data included gender,age,body mass index(BMI),aspect ratio,tumor location,multifocality,microcalcification,Hashimoto thyroiditis(HT)and tumor diameter.According to the presence or absence of CLNM,the patients were divided into the normal group(107 cases)and the metastasis group(108 cases).Univariate and multivariate analysis of the data were performed to construct a visual nomogram prediction model,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the model.The nomogram model was internally verified using a Bootstrap test with 1000 repeated samples.Consistency index(C-index)and calibration curve were used to describe the prediction performance and prediction accuracy of the model.Finally,the clinical decision curve(DCA)was drawn to determine the clinical application ability of the model.RESULTS A total of 215 PTC patients with capsular invasion were included,of whom 108(50.23%)had CLNM.Univariate analysis showed that the occurrence of CLNM was associated with tumor diameter,aspect ratio>1,tumor located in the lower pole,multifocality,and HT(P<0.05).Multivariate regression analysis showed that tumor diameter,aspect ratio>1,tumor located in the lower pole and multifocus were independent risk factors for CLNM(OR=1.401,1.875,2.291,2.303,P<0.05),and HT was a protective factor for CLNM(OR=0.501,P<0.05).Based on the above risk factors,a nomogram prediction model for CLNM in patients with PTC with capsule invasion was constructed.The ROC curves showed that the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.859(95%CI:0.792-0.925,Yoden Index was 0.734,the sensitivity was 0.878,a specificity was 0.856),and the model had higher predictive value.Internal validation consistency index(C-index)was 0.83(95%CI,0.748 to 0.959).The calibration curve showed that the predictive value was close to the ideal curve,and it had good consistency.The DCA curve showed that the model had good clinical efficacy.CONCLUSION Larger tumor size,aspect ratio>1,tumor located in the lower pole and multifocality suggest higher risk of CLNM in PTC with capsular invasion,while HT is a protective factor for CLNM.The nomogram model based on the above risk factors has high discrimination and calibration,which is helpful for clinicians in preoperative evaluation and intraoperative exploration,so that high-risk patients can be prevented and treated as soon as possible.
