Objective: To understand the influence of junior middle school students health literacy on knowledge, belief and behavior of COVID-19 in rural areas of Jiangxi Province, and to enhance junior middle school students ability to deal with public health emergencies. Methods: Stratified cluster random sampling was used to investigate the health literacy, knowledge level and behavior of COVID-19 protection of 4 311 grade 7 to grade 8 students in rural areas of Jiangxi Province; Chi square test and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the correlation between junior high school students health literacy and COVID-19 protection knowledge, belief and behavior. Results: The rate of health literacy of junior middle school students in rural areas was 18.21 %( n =785), the reported rate of intermediate level was high ( n =2 454, 56.92%), and the reported rate of junior high school students at a low level of health literacy was 24.87%( n =1 072). The rate of junior middle school students in rural areas with good COVID-19 protection knowledge was 63.49%, the rate of positive protection attitude was 74.25%, and the rate of good protection behavior was 85.36%; Rate of COVID-19 protection knowledge ( OR=4.85, 95%CI =3.80-6.18) and positive rate of protection attitude of high level health literacy ( OR=44.07, 95%CI =24.57-79.05), protective behavior possession rate ( OR=25.99, 95%CI = 19.67-34.35) were higher than those with low level of health literacy( P <0.01). Conclusion Health literacy is associated with COVID-19 protection knowledge, belief and behavior in rural junior high school students of Jiangxi Province, the findings provide direction for junior middle school students to improve their ability to deal with public health emergencies.

OBJECTIVETo assess the clinical value of single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for treatment of pulmonary diseases.

METHODSFrom October, 2009 to December, 2013, 105 patients with pulmonary diseases were scheduled for single-pore VATS for pulmonary lobectomy (19 patients), wedge resection of the lung (34 patients), and bullae resection and pleurodesis for spontaneous pneumothorax or pulmonary bleb (52 patients).

RESULTSOf the 105 patients, 101 patients underwent single-port VATS; the procedure was converted to open thoracotomy in 1 patient and to conventional three-port VATS in 2 patients. The operative time was 50.6∓36.8 min (20-200 min) with intraoperative blood loss of 70∓56.9 ml (10-300 ml), thoracic drainage time of 4.2∓3.2 days (2-14 days), and postoperative hospital stay of 5.4∓3.8 days (3-16 days). Postoperative complications of the procedures included prolonged air leakage (6 cases) and atelectasis (2 cases). All the other patients recovered smoothly without serious complications.

CONCLUSIONSingle-port VATS is a safe and efficient procedure that allows rapid postoperative recovery and is a method of choice for selected patients with pulmonary diseases.

Two Hofmann-Martius-like rearrangement products generated in the production of duloxetine hydrochloride were studied. The structures and generation mechanism of the two Hofmann-Martius rearrangement products were analyzed by LC-MS and NMR. The results showed that under the acidic conditions, the naphthol ether bond of duloxetine would break down and the intermediates of naphthol and the alkyl thiophene cation was generated; the two Hofmann-Martius-like rearrangement products were proven to be a pair of isomers produced by nucleophilic substitution between the naphthol intermediate state and the alkyl thiophene cation intermediate state at the ortho or the para position, respectively. The production of two isomers was related to the strong acidic and protic solvent environment. Therefore, in the salting process of duloxetine hydrochloride, the pH value should be controlled in the range of 3-7 and temperature should be maintained below 50 °C, as well as the nonprotic solvent acetone is chosen to avoid generation of the two isomers.

Objective:To evaluate the structural features, stability and postoperative effect of integrated framework, 1+ 1 framework, 2+ 1 framework, 4+ 1 framework, and Y-shaped nasal framework.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed based on the clinical data of patients underwent in Department of Plastic and Aesthetic (Burn) Surgery, the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from February 2019 to November 2020. According to rhinoplasty framework, the patients were divided into integrated framework group, 1+ 1 framework group, 2+ 1 framework group, 4+ 1 framework group, and Y-shaped framework group. Based on the principle of plane photography, the stability of the nasal framework was evaluated by measuring the nasal tip projection and the nasolabial angle 1 month after surgery, and 12 months after surgery. The satisfaction of patients and the incidence of postoperative complications were collected. The difference in nasolabial angle and nasal tip projection data of postoperation 1 month and postoperative 12 months among each group were analyzed by one-way analysis vaniance or Kruskal-Waliis H test.Bonferroni test or Nemenyi test was used for pairwise comparison between groups. P< 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 201 patients (18 males and 183 females, aged 18-46 years, average aged 26.6±5.9 years)were included in this study and followed up for 12-21 months.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of MELD 3.0， MELD， and MELD-Na scores in assessing the 90-day prognosis of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure （ACLF） through a comparative study. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 605 patients with ACLF who were treated in Tianjin Third Central Hospital， The Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital， and Beijing YouAn Hospital from November 2012 to June 2019， and according to the 90-day follow-up results after admission， they were divided into survival group with 392 patients and death group with 213 patients. The receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve， the area under the ROC curve （AUC）， net reclassification improvement （NRI）， integrated discrimination improvement （IDI）， and decision curve analysis （DCA） curve were used to investigate the value of MELD 3.0， MELD， and MELD-Na scores at baseline， day 3， week 1， and week 2 in predicting the prognosis of the disease. ResultsAt day 3 and week 1， MELD 3.0 score had an AUC of 0.775 and 0.808， respectively， with a better AUC than MELD score （P<0.05）. At day 3， week 1， and week 2， MELD 3.0 score showed an NRI of 0.125， 0.100， and 0.081， respectively， compared with MELD in predicting the prognosis of ACLF patients， as well as an NRI of 0.093， 0.140， and 0.204， respectively， compared with MELD-Na score in predicting prognosis. At baseline， day 3， week 1， and week 2， MELD 3.0 showed an IDI of 0.011， 0.025， 0.017， and 0.013， respectively， compared with MELD in predicting the prognosis of ACLF patients. At day 3 and week 2， MELD 3.0 showed an IDI of 0.027 and 0.038， respectively， compared with MELD-Na in predicting the prognosis of ACLF patients. All the above NRIs and IDIs were >0， indicating a positive improvement （all P<0.05）. DCA curves showed that MELD 3.0 was superior to MELD at day 3 and was significantly superior to MELD-Na at week 2. There was no significant difference in the ability of the three scores in predicting the prognosis of ACLF patients with different types， and there was also no significant difference in the ability of the three scores in predicting the prognosis of ACLF patients with the etiology of HBV infection， alcohol， or HBV infection combined with alcohol， while MELD 3.0 was superior to MELD for ACLF patients with other etiologies （P<0.05）. ConclusionMELD 3.0 score is better than MELD and MELD-Na scores in predicting the 90-day survival of patients with ACLF， but with limited superiority.
