[Objective] To explore the clinical effects of three methods in the treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy.[Method]All the patients with cesarean scar pregnancy accepted treatment at 2 affiliated hospitals of Sun Yat-Sen University from May 2006 to September 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.According to their different therapies,186 of them were divided into three groups:surgery group (undergone transvaginal removal of ectopic pregnancy tissue and repair of uterine defect,73 cases),medical treatment group (treated with medical and combined with curettage,51 cases),UAE group (treated with UAE and combined with suction curettage,62 cases).The success rate,hospitalization time,hospitalization expenses and treatment side effects of the three groups were compared.[Result] The success rates of the three groups were 98.6％,54.9％,and 80.6％;The hospitalization days of the three groups were (7.3 ± 3.3) days,(16.2 ± 11.2) days,(12.6 ± 10.4) d.The hospitalization expenses of the three groups were (7 967 ±1 987) yuan,(5 499-± 1 965) yuan,(15 863 ± 5 941) yuan.The treatment side effects of the three groups were 15.1％,23.5％,and 37.1％.The success rate,hospitalization days,hospitalization expenses and treatment side effects of the three groups were statistically different (P ＜ 0.05).The surgery group has a highest success rate,shortest hospitalization time,lower hospitalization expenses,and less complication.[Conclusions] Transvaginal removal of ectopic pregnancy tissue and repair of uterine defect is a reliable treatment for CSP.

With the development of society and the transition of travel ways,traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by external causes such as traffic crashes,falls,sports,recreation,etc.has become more and more common.TBI has become a serious public health problem worldwide.Understanding the epidemiology,causes,and trends of TBI is critical for prevention and rehabilitation.Unfortunately,most of the available epidemiological studies on TBI were conducted among outpatients and/or inpatients at local hospitals,and national surveys with high-quality or surveillance data are scarce in China.Thus,there is no comprehensive understanding of TBI.In order to provide the basis for future investigation and improve the effects of TBI prevention and rehabilitation,we reviewed literature on TBI published in recent 10 years and discussed the development of epidemiological studies on TBI in definition,classification,external cause,epidemiology,and health-related impacts.

With the rapid development of mobile communication technology and the growing popularity of smartphones worldwide,mobile health has become an extension of e-Health and Tele-Health,and is of value in the research and practice of public health.In this paper,we systematically assessed research literature of mobile health's application on disease prevention and control as well as health promotion.Based on the characteristics of current literature,this paper focused on the application of mobile health in maternal health promotion,chronic disease management,and communicable disease prevention and control to provide reference for the mobile health intervention research in China.

OBJECTIVES: During the epidemic of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), the wide spread of rumors caused significant public hazards. This study aims to understand the situation of discrimination for typical COVID-19 rumors by the public and related factors. METHODS: An anonymous online survey was carried out using Questionnaire Star. The contents included participants' gender, age, education level, the COVID-19 information sources, and the judgmental questions about 14 representative COVID-19 rumors. The discrimination rate and 95% confidence interval of 14 rumors were estimated, and the association of discrimination rate with gender, age, and education level was analyzed by binary logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 2 087 valid questionnaires were collected. The participants were mainly female (62.7%) and below 35 years old (63.4%); the education level was predominantly college/bachelor's degree (47.3%) and master's degree or above (39.1%); the participants, who accessed to COVID-19 information included internet media, accounted for 91%. The participants with different gender, age, and education level had significant differences in the distribution of COVID-19 information sources (all P<0.01). The participants' discrimination rate for 14 rumors ranged from 67.4% to 98.6%, with 4 rumors less than 80%. Women's discrimination rate of 9 rumors was significantly higher than men's (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the discrimination rate of rumors among the different age groups (all P>0.05), but the differences in the discrimination rate of other rumors among the different age groups varied according to the rumor. Compared to those with high school or less education levels, the discrimination rates were also higher in the respondents with high education levels (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS A few publics are still unable to identify typical rumors during the COVID-19 epidemic. There are associations among genders, age, and the education levels with the discrimination of some rumors. The government authorities should strengthen the true information regarding COVID-19, and therefore enhance the public's ability to identify rumors.
