Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of gray-scale ultrasonography (GSU) combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and real-time elastography imaging (EI) in solid thyroid nodules.Methods A total of 124 solid nodules were collected from Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from September 2011 to November 2014, including 49 benign nodules and 75 malignant nodules conifrmed by surgical pathology. The data of multimodal imaging were retrospectively analyzed and compared with the pathological results. The parameters among the groups were compared byχ2 test. Four diagnostic models including the statistically signiifcant independent variables were established accord to different combinations of routine ultrasound examination. The binary Logistic regression equation using the pathological results as the dependent variable Y and the ultrasound features of thyroid nodules as independent variableX was established for calculating the area under the receiver operator curve (ROC) and multiple regression analysis furthermore.Results There were statistically significant differences in aspect ratio, margin condition, echo type, CEUS features, elastic imaging score and elastic strain rate of benign and malignant thyroid nodules(χ2=13.966, 7.106, 24.215, 17.250 and 27.158,P<0.05).The four Logistic regression models were statistically signiifcant (χ2=5.37, 5.37, 8.155, 8.155, allP<0.05). By using modelⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ andⅣ, the diagnostic sensitivity, speciifcity and accuracy of malignant nodules were (73.8%, 75.9%, 79.7%, 83.3%), (67.5%, 70.7%, 85.2%, 86.7%), and (71.8%, 74.2% 81.8%, 84.4%) respectively. The area under the ROC of logistic equation predicted values were (0.778, 0.809, 0.875 and 0.898, allP<0.01). Multivariate categorical analysis showed that aspect ratio, margin condition and the elastic strain rate ratio (χ2=13.73, 7.541 and 11.461, allP<0.05) of thyroid nodules were effective diagnostic indicators. Conclusions Our study indicated that CEUS and EI could be helpful modality for GSU to improve the diagnostic accuracy of thyroid nodules. The combined application of multi mode ultrasound examination has a high diagnostic value.

Objective To investigate the current status and influencing factors of job burnout and self efficacy of midwives in Beijing, and to explore the correlation between job burnout and self efficacy in midwives. Methods We selected 335 midwives in wards of obstetrics department from 20 hospitals ( 13 general hospitals+ 7 women-children special hospitals ) in Beijing as respondents by convenient sampling. And then, we investigated the job burnout, self efficacy and the influencing factors. Results The total average score of job burnout of 335 midwives was (70.0±16.1). There were 5 (1.5%) with zero burnout, 73 (21.8%) with mild burnout, 178 (53.1%) with moderate burnout, 79 (23.6%) with severe burnout among 335 midwives. The total average score of self efficacy of 335 midwives was (26.4±5.9). The major influencing factors of job burnout and self efficacy were the age, working hours in clinic, working hours in delivery room (P<0.05). The regression showed that there was significant correlation between each dimension of job burnout and self efficacy. Conclusions The degree of job burnout is high and the self efficacy is the medium level in the midwife. The effective measures should be taken to enhance the midwives′self efficacy and improve their job burnout.

Objective:To summarize and elucidate the impact of ambient air pollution on biological aging among middle-aged and older adults.Methods:"Air pollution""Biological age""Epigenetic age""Biological aging"and"Epigenetic aging", as well as specific names of air pollutants and biological age were used as search keywords. This study searched the databases of PubMed and Web of Science for eligible English articles and CNKI, CQVIP, Wanfang, CBM, CSTP and other Chinese databases for eligible Chinese articles from inception until June 30, 2023. The language was limited to Chinese and English.Results:Among the 14 included articles, five studies investigated the impact of air pollution on DNA methylation age using different algorithms, while six studies explored the relationship between air pollutants and telomere length. Six studies focused on frailty as an outcome, and an additional study revealed the relationship between fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) and its components with composite indicator age (KDM age). The results indicated that, although different forms of biological ages were susceptible to different ambient air pollutants at different degrees, previous studies had consistently found that the increased levels of PM 2.5 and one of its major components, black carbon (BC), could significantly accelerate the biological aging of middle-aged and older adults. Similar trends were observed with nitrogen oxides (NO x) and ozone (O 3) but with relatively limited evidence. Conclusion:Major air pollutants could accelerate the biological aging of middle-aged and older adults.
