Objective To explore the relationship between the body mass index and health-related quality of life(HRQoL) of young students aged 18~25 years old. Methods 4696 students aged 18~25 years old from nine provinces and municipalities (Jiangsu, Anhui, Gansu, Qinghai, Fujian, Boijing, Jilin, Jiangxi and He'nan) were investigated. The HRQoL of students with different body mass index were compared with rank sum test and lo-gistic regression analysis. Results Obesity and underweight students scored lower in both physical component and mental component scores of SF-36. Compared to students with normal weight, odds ratios (ORs) of impaired HRQoL among obesity students significantly increased in both physical domain (OR=1.86) and mental domain (OR=1.90), while OR of impaired HRQoL among underweight students significantly increased only in physical domain(OR=1.21). Analysis for boys and girls scparately,OR of impaired HRQoL increased in physical domain among underweight boys(OR=1.37), and increased in mental domain among overweight girls(OR=3.85). Con-clnsion Different body mass index have different impact on young students' HRQoL. Both obesity and trader-weight could reduce HRQoL. But obesity have more impact on girls' mental domain than boys, and underweight have more impact on boys' physical domain than girls.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of laparuseopic and open D_2 radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods From January 2008 to February 2009, 64 gastric cancer patients received laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (LAP group) and 60 gastric cancer patients received open gastrectomy (open group) at Changzhou No. 2 People's Hospital. Clinical parameters including operation time, blood loss, resection margin of gastric cancer, number of lymph nodes dissected, time for passage of flatus, time for out-of-bed activity, hospital stay and postoperative complications in the 2 groups were analyzed via t test and chi-square test. Results Gastrectomy was successfully performed on all patients. Mean operation time in LAP group was significantly longer than open group (t=5.56, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the length of resection margin and number of lymph nodes dissected between the 2 groups (t=0.67, 0.86, 1.09, P>0.05). The mean blood loss, time for passage of flatus, time for out-of-bed activity and hospital stay in LAP group were significantly lesser than in open group (t=4.59, 5.56, 16.39, 4.79, P<0.05). Six patients in LAP group and 5 patients in open group had compli-cations postoperatively. All patients were followed up for 1-13 months, and no recurrence or death occurred. Conclusion Laparoscopic D_2 radical gastrectomy is safe and effective for gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the health-related quality of life (HRQOL), demographic characteristics, and health behaviors of the Chinese elderly to find out high-risk population and behaviors. Methods Data was collected from a cross-sectional survey performed in Jiangsu, Anhui, Gansu,Qinghai, Fujian, Beijing, Jilin, Jiangxi, and Henan province. MOS SF-36 was used for HRQOL assessment, t test was used for HRQOL comparison between the elderly and the general population. Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the affecting factors. Results The HRQOL among the Chinese elderly were PF ( Physical Functioning) 79 ± 21, RP ( Role-Physical ) 68 ± 40, BP ( Bodily Pain) 72 ± 23, GH ( General Health) 57±22, VT ( Vitality ) 69 ± 20, SF ( Social Functioning) 79 ± 23, RE ( Role-Emotional ) 72 ±40, M H ( Mental Health)76 ± 18, which were lower than Sichuan Norm on 7 dimensions ( P < 0. 05 ; except on M H dimension) and lower than Hangzhou Norm on 5 dimensions (P < 0. 05 ;except on GH, VT, and MHdimensions). The important affecting factors included physical exercise, education level, medical history of chronic disease, age, race, marriage, body mass index ( BMI ), sleeping habits, and gender. Conclusions Compared with the general population, the HRQOL in the elderly might be lower. The health policy and community heahhcare services should focus on the elderly individuals with insufficient exercise, lower education level, chronic disease history, and ethnic minority, or widows. Health education should encourage them to improve physical exercise and sleeping behavior.

Objective To compare the clinical effectiveness between the channel-assisted mini-invasion and open Achilles shortening for treatment of the elongated Achilles tendon following previous rupture.Methods The clinical data of 19 patients admitted from Dec. 2013 to Dec. 2015 and met the inclusion criteria were analyzed retrospectively. Eight patients were treated with shortening operation by channel-assisted minimally invasive repair system, while 11 patients received dissection of Krackow Achilles tendon shortening. There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender, age, injury to operation time, preoperative calf circumference and preoperative AOFAS (American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society) score (P>0.05).Results The operation time, incision length and postoperative hospital days were significantly less in min-invasion group than in incision group (P<0.05). After operation, wound healing by first intention was obtained in incision group except 1 case which got infection and healed by treatment 2 weeks later. No sural nerve and vascular injury and lower extremity deep vein thrombosis existed. MRI showed that the Achilles tendon recovered in both groups at the 8th week follow-up. The patients were followed up for 12-17 months in the mini-invasion group and 12-20 months in the incision group. The calf circumference and AOFAS score of both groups were higher in the last follow-up than that in pre-operation (P<0.05), but no significant difference existed between the two groups at the last follow-up (P>0.05).ConclusionChannel-assisted minimally invasive Achilles tendon shortening operation has not only similar effectiveness to the incision shorting operation for the treatment of elongated Achilles tendon following previous rupture, but also has the advantages of shortening operation time and stay in hospital and avoidance of sural nerve injury.
