Objective? To investigate the correlation between post traumatic growth, social support and resilience in patients with breast cancer, and to provide reference for intervention programme on enhancing positive psychological quality. Methods? Totally 180 patients with breast cancer from 4 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Jiangsu Province were selected by convenience sampling method from June to October in 2018. They were investigated with General Information Questionnaire, Post Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Results? In breast cancer patients, the total scores of PTGI, SSRS and CD-RISC were (62.52±17.59), (35.15±9.29) and (56.51±18.33) scores. Correlation analysis showed that the total scores of PTGI and its each dimension were positively correlated with the total scores of SSRS, as well as the total scores of CD-RISC and its each dimension (P<0.01); the total scores of SSRS and its each dimension were positively correlated with the total scores of CD-RISC and its each dimension (P< 0.01). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that resilience, methods of disease detection, and treatment plans were independent influencing factors of PTG in patients with breast cancer. Both social support and resilience could positively predict PTG, whose path coefficients were 0.493 and 0.302, respectively. Resilience was a mediator of social support and PTG. The indirect effect was 0.080. Conclusions? Resilience plays an important role in mediating between social support and PTG in patients with breast cancer. The resilience training could promote patients' PTG ability .

To investigate the correlation between different endoscopic ultrasonographic signs and pathological risk grade of gastric stromal tumors. Data of 89 patients with gastric stromal tumors confirmed by pathology and immunohistochemistry who underwent gastroscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from March 2013 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The endoscopic ultrasonographic characteristics of gastric stromal tumors with different risk degrees were compared. Among the 89 cases, 63 were very low-risk grade, 21 were low-risk grade, and 5 were intermediate-risk grade. Tumor size, echo homogenicity, ulcer, with or without regular boundary, and cystic change were correlated with tumor risk grade ( P<0.05). Endoscopic ultrasonography is helpful to predict risk grade of gastric stromal tumors before surgery.

Background The retail milk tea industry is in a period of rapid development, but there is little research on its nutrient content, which restricts the nutritional guidance of milk tea. Objective To determine the levels of nutrients in best-selling handcrafted milk tea in Shanghai and analyze the nutritional characteristics. Methods In 2018 and 2021, a total of 13 handcrafted milk tea brands with ≥3 branch stores in Shanghai were selected by searching for milk tea on Meituan and Ele.me food delivery platforms, and a total of 122 types of handcrafted milk tea products were collected from the top three sales [milk tea (including all sweetness levels available), milk cover tea, and fruit tea]. National standard methods were used to detect energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, sugar, trans fatty acid, calcium, caffeine, and tea polyphenol. Results The median energy of the milk tea samples was 310 kJ (per 100 g sample). The main sources of energy were carbohydrate and fat. The levels of energy, protein, and fat in milk cover tea and milk tea were significantly higher than those in fruit tea (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in carbohydrate among them. The total sugar, fructose, and glucose levels in milk tea were significantly lower than those in milk cover tea and fruit tea, and the lactose level in fruit tea was significantly lower than those in milk tea and milk cover tea (P<0.05). Themedian trans fat acid level in milk cover tea was higher than that in milk tea (P<0.05). The median levels of caffeine and tea polyphenol were higher in milk tea than in milk cover tea (P<0.05). The levels of energy, carbohydrate, sucrose, total sugar, and calcium in milk tea were positively correlated with the number of ingredients added (0-3) (r=0.386, 0.371, 0.238, 0.698, 0.466, respectively, P < 0.05). The levels of energy, carbohydrate, and total sugar tended to increase with increasing sweetness (P<0.05), and total sugar was mainly sucrose, followed by fructose and glucose. The total sugar levels of the samples labeled sugar free, light sugar, half sugar, less sugar, and regular sugar were 3.40 (2.20, 4.9), 4.97 (4.25, 5.97), 5.80 (4.31, 6.88), 6.59 (5.17, 8.53), and 7.96 (6.82, 9.20) g, respectively; the proportions of the samples containing more than 0.5 g of total sugar were 93.3% for sugar free milk tea, 47.4% for light sugar milk tea, and 94.0% for regular sugar milk tea; the proportion of the regular sugar samples with sugar content greater than 10 g was 18.0% (all samples with nominal sugar content were measured per 100 g). Conclusion The retail handcrafted milk tea in Shanghai is characterized by high energy, high added sugar, high fat, and low protein. It is necessary to standardize the added sugar content and sweetness labeling, strengthen the nutrition education of milk tea, and guide residents to limit its intake.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the changes of the usage of oil, salt, sugar and nutritional knowledge and behavior intervention among diners before and after the establishment of healthy canteens and restaurants in Shanghai. MethodsA comprehensive intervention was conducted through the establishment of healthy canteens and restaurants, encompassing interventions such as oil, salt, and sugar management, improvement of nutritional environment, staffing and training activities, and nutrition labeling guidance. A pre-post self-controlled study design was used to compare changes in oil, salt and sugar usage, as well as diners’ knowledge and behaviors related to nutrition and nutrition labeling, before and after the intervention. ResultsAfter intervention, the total usage of oil, salt, and sugar per meal in the canteens and restaurants decreased by 18.33%, 14.83%, and 13.66%, respectively,and all had statistically significance differences(P<0.001). The awareness rate of "cooking oil intake", "salt intake", and "added sugar intake" among diners increased from 24.07% to 38.04%, 58.52% to 71.28%, and 26.85% to 45.01%, respectively. The awareness rate of "daily food types" and "weekly food types" increased from 43.07% to 56.53% and 49.52% to 64.32%, with significant differences (P<0.001). The rate of understanding the content of nutrition labels increased from 66.91% to 76.90%, the awareness rate of nutrition labels increased from 53.59% to 69.06%, the rate of active reading of nutrition labels among diners increased from 73.38% to 81.23%, and the rate of selecting and purchasing food based on the information of nutrition labels increased from 69.27% to 77.79%, all of which were statistically significant (P<0.001). ConclusionThe comprehensive interventions carried out through the creation of healthy canteens and restaurants have significantly impact on usage of oil, salt, and sugar, as well as on the nutritional knowledge and behaviors of diners.

Background Children and adolescents drink sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) frequently. Research has confirmed that SSBs associate with weight gain and overweight or obesity. However, it is unclear whether high SSBs intake associates with abnormal changes in physical growth and glucolipid metabolism before causing adverse health outcomes such as overweight and obesity. Early identification of associated health risks of overconsumption of SSBs have important public health implications. Objective To investigate the differences in physical growth and glucolipid metabolism between different SSBs intake frequency groups in normal weight children and adolescents aged 6-17 years, and to evaluate the early effects of SSBs intake on physical growth and glycolipid metabolism before causing overweight and obesity, aiming to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of childhood overweight and obesity and related chronic diseases, and for the formulation of policies on the control of SSBs consumption. Methods Data were from the Shanghai Diet and Health Survey (SDHS) among primary and secondary school students. The participants were normal weight children and adolescents aged 6-17 years. Propensity scores were calculated according to energy intake and physical activity factors, after stratifying by age and gender. Participants were 1:1 matched with the closest propensity scores in the high-frequency (≥1 time·d−1) and the low-frequency (≤1 time·week−1) SSBs intake groups. The outcome indicators were physical measurements such as height, weight, percent of body fat, and waist circumference, and metabolic indicators such as fasting blood glucose, total triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Food frequency questionnaire was used to collect SSBs consumption in the past three months through face-to-face interview. A paired t-test was used to compare the differences in physical and glycolipid metabolic indicators between the high-frequency intake group and the low-frequency intake group of SSBs. Results A total of 431 pairs were obtained. For children and adolescents in grades 6-9, overall height (difference=2.92 cm, P=0.002), weight (difference=2.53 kg, P=0.003), and waist circumference (difference=1.34 cm, P=0.035) were higher in those who consumed SSBs ≥1 time·d−1 than in those who consumed ≤1 time·week−1. For children and adolescents in grades 10-12, overall weight (difference=2.27 kg, P=0.041) was higher in those who consumed SSBs ≥1 time·d−1 than in those who consumed ≤1 time·week−1. Over 95% of the study subjects reported blood glucose and lipid test results within the normal range; but girls in grades 1-5 who consumed SSBs ≥1 time·d−1 had a higher total cholesterol (difference=0.20 mmol·L−1, P=0.027) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (difference=0.19 mmol·L−1, P=0.010) than those who consumed ≤1 time·week−1; boys in grades 6-9 who consumed SSBs ≥1 time·d−1 had a lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (difference=-0.10 mmol·L−1, P=0.039) than those who consumed ≤1 time·week−1. Conclusion High-frequency intake of SSBs may be associated with higher total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in normal weight children and adolescents in grades 1-5, and higher weight in normal weight children and adolescents in grades 6-12. There is an urgent need to educate children and adolescents about nutritional health, enhance their ability to make healthy food and beverage choices, and take early interventions to control the intake of SSBs in children.
