Objective:
To learn the health literacy status, trend and associated factors of Ningbo residents from 2015 to 2019, so as to provide basis for developing health policies and interventions.
Methods:
The monitoring data of health literacy of Ningbo residents from 2015 to 2019 was collected. The health literacy level was calculated and standardized by the population data of the sixth national census of Ningbo in 2010; five-year absolute growth and growth rate were used to reflect the changing trend. Multivariate logistic regression model was employed to analyze the influencing factors for the health literacy level.
Results:
The health literacy levels from 2015 to 2019 were 15.44%, 21.73%, 22.41%, 27.60% and 30.03%, with an annual increase trend ( P<0.05 ). The five-year absolute growth and growth rate were 14.59% and 94.49%. The Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the year ( OR=1.158, 95%CI: 1.132-1.184 ), age ( 25-<35岁 years, OR=1.235, 95%CI: 1.039-1.468; 35-<45岁 years, OR=1.416, 95%CI: 1.193-1.681; 45-<55岁 years, OR=1.221, 95%CI: 1.024-1.455 ) , education level ( primary school, OR=1.790, 95%CI: 1.461-2.195; junior high school, OR=2.574, 95%CI: 2.102-3.154; high school/vocational high school/technical secondary school, OR=4.863, 95%CI: 3.943-5.998; college or above, OR=8.829, 95%CI: 7.109-10.965 ) , urban areas ( OR=0.934, 95%CI: 0.874-0.998 ) and occupation ( farmers, OR=0.692, 95%CI: 0.608-0.787; workers, OR=0.746, 95%CI: 0.664-0.837; enterprise staff, OR=0.822, 95%CI: 0.745-0.906; others, OR=1.106, 95%CI: 1.009-1.211 ) were the influencing factors for health literacy level.

Objective To investigate the detection and treatment of carry-over of automatic biochemistry analyzer. Methods We detected the sample carry-over by determining one high level quality control serum and three zero levels serum continuously in five days. We used mixed patients serum to detect the carry-over come from reagent probe, muddler and cuvette by arranging test sequence of different item, combination and the times of rerun. We also used different methods such as immersion, cleaning probe, extended priming to handle the reagent carry-over.Results The sample carry-over was -0.37%~0.48% on new analyzer and 0.51~1.17% on old analyzer, respectively. The carry-over of CHO, TG, HDL on reagent probe and muddler of TBA was 86.9%~208.7% and 86.0%~256.5% on old analyzer, respectively. There was no reagent carry-over among other items on old analyzer. There was no carry-over on reagent probe on new analyzer, the carry-over of different items on cuvette of TBA was -0.9%~1.7%. After immersion, cleaning and extended priming, the carry-over of CHD, TG, HDL on TBA reagent probe fell to -1.1%~2.7% and -0.07%~0.09%, respectively.Conclusions The methods which have been mentioned above can detect the sample and reagent carry-over. The carry-over can be reduced by immersion, cleaning, extended priming and testing in different unit.

Objective To report clinical characteristics and genetic results of two sisters suffered from congenital adrenal cortex hyperplasia (17-α-hydroxylase deficiency), and relevant literatures were reviewed. Methods Clinical manifestation and laboratory examination data of two sister cases of 17-α-hydroxylase deficiency enrolled in Capital Institute of Pediatrics in March 2016 were analyzed. Sanger sequencing and MLPA for CYP17A1 genes were performed and the parents' genes were also verified. Results The two patients were four years and 10 years old, both suffered from hypokalemia after infections, and hypergonadotrophin gonad hypofunction. One case was with slightly high blood pressure. Laboratory test results showed potassium fluctuation tendency in 1.9~4.0 mmol/L, 17-OHP and DHEA was decreased. Enhanced CT showed different degree of adrenal gland enlargement. Chromosome examination of the older sister is 46, XY. Both sisters demonstrated heterozygous mutation of CYP17A1 gene. The molecular genetic analysis suggested a c.985_987delTACinsAA from father and a deletion spanning exons 1-7 of the CYP17A1 gene from mother. Conclusion 17-α-hydroxylase enzyme deficiency can be diagnosed before adolescence. Clinical hypokalemia with unknown reason and high blood pressure may indicate the disease. The diagnosis can be confirmed with gene sequencing of CYP17A1.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of different reconstruction images on cardiac dose evaluation by comparing the differences between 4D-CT series and special reconstruction images in evaluating the dose-volume index of cardiac structures.Methods:ECG 4D-CT series were scanned in 15 female patients with left breast cancer. The images of 0-95% 20 phases were reconstructed at an interval of 5% cardiac cycle. The maximum intensity projection (MIP), minimum intensity projection (MinIP), average intensity projection (AIP) and sum intensity projection (SIP) images were obtained by special reconstruction of 4D-CT series. Left ventricle (LV) and left anterior descending coronary artery (LADCA) were delineated on 4D-CT and special reconstruction series, respectively. The intensity-modulated radiation therapy plan of the left breast cancer was designed on the basis of 0% phase, and the cumulative dose (Dose-cumulate) of 20 phases was obtained by deformation registration. The doses of 0% phase were deformed and registered to MIP, MinIP, AIP and SIP images to obtain the corresponding dose distribution. The dose-volume indexes of LV and LADCA based on different CT images were compared.Results:In the evaluation of dose-volume index of LV, compared with 4D-CT series, the change rates of V 5Gy, V 30Gy, V 40Gy, D max and D mean on MIP images were 3.8%, 2.0%, 0.9%, 3.8% and 1.7%, respectively. There was significant difference in V 5 and D max between MIP and 4D-CT (both P<0.05). Compared with 4D-CT, the change rates of D max on MinIP, SIP and AIP images were 2.5%, 3.1% and 1.5%, respectively (all P<0.05). In the evaluation of dose-volume index of LADCA, only the change rate of D max on four special reconstructed images was<5%( P<0.05). Conclusions:In the dose-volume evaluation of LV, the V 30Gy, V 40Gy and D mean obtained by MIP are basically equivalent to those obtained by 4D-CT series, which can be used to substitute 4D-CT series to evaluate the dose-volume. The special reconstruction image of LADCA can not replace 4D-CT series.

Objective To analysis the health literacy status, trends and distribution characteristics of Ningbo residents during 2015-2016, and to provide basis for developing health policies and intervention strategies. Methods During 2015-2016, 9810 residents of 15-69 years old in Ningbo were investigated by face-to-face interviews using the unified national questionnaire and multistage PPS sampling method. Results Totally 9750 residents correctly filled out the questionnaire. The adjusted health literacy (AHL) of residents in 2016 was 21.73%, increased by 6.29 percentage points than 2015 (15.44%) .The monitoring results of two years both showed that there was no significant differences of AHL between men and women (P >0.05) . However, the AHL of residents with different age-groups, occupations and education levels all assumed significant differences (P<0.05) . The AHL was significantly higher in urban residents than rural residents (P<0.05) .Among the 6 health issues, the AHL of safety and first aid was the highest (2015: 56.98%, 2016: 61.32%), and the chronic disease prevention (2015:11.23%, 2016: 12.10%) and basic medical care (2015: 11.97%, 2016: 13.81%) were the lowest, also who had the smallest lifting range. Logistic regression analysis displayed that residents with higher level of education had higher AHL (OR=1.72, 95%CI: 1.61-1.83) . Comparison with civil servants, institutions, teachers and medical professionals, farmers (OR=0.74, 95%CI: 0.58-0.94), workers (OR=0.70, 95%CI: 0.57-0.86) and other occupational groups (OR=0.78, 95%CI: 0.64-0.96) had lower AHL. Conclusion The health literacy of Ningbo residents is on the rise, Knowledge of chronic disease prevention and basic medical care will be the main contents of health literacy enhancement program in the future, especially for people with less education.
