Objective To upgrade the satisfactory degree of foreign patients by persistently improving medical treatment quality aboard hospital ship.Methods To choose 3 days and 30 foreign cases who accepted ultramarine medical treatment on hospital ship.All the cases were Pakistani or Bangladeshi.Cases were assigned into 3 kinds of queuing program and investigated the satisfactory degree using self-made questionnaire.The program of highest satisfactory degree was used in the next 3 countries.Results Analysis showed that waiting time for preliminary diagnosis,examination and total waiting time were significantly different between program C and A; waiting time for preliminary diagnosis,examination and total waiting time were significantly different between program B and A,but time for return visit increased in program B compared to that of program A.Degree of satisfaction:70.0％～76.7％ for program A,73.3％～80.0％ for program B,96.7％～100.0％ for program C.Conclusions Program C is the best method to shorten waiting time,improve order and upgrade the satisfactory degree.This research has a significant value in the enhancement of efficiency aboard hospital ship and improvement of foreign patients' satisfactory degree.

Age-related hearing loss(ARHL)is a common chronic disease that poses a serious threat to the physical and mental health of the elderly in an aging society.It is a sensorineural hearing loss characterized by the loss of auditory hair cells,stria vascularis lesions,apoptosis of spiral ganglia,and degeneration of the audi-tory central nervous system,reducing the quality of life of the patients.This article reviews the research progress in the relationship of ARHL with Alzheimer's disease,depression,and frailty,as well as the daily intervention in ARHL.This review aims to improve people's awareness and attention to the health hazards of ARHL and to delay the occurrence and development of ARHL by implementing daily intervention measures to form a healthy lifestyle.

Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death that depends on iron and reactive oxygen spe-cies.Different from apoptosis,necrosis,and autophagy,ferroptosis is characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides in cells.Studies have discovered that ferroptosis is closely associated with the occurrence and develop-ment of tumors and inducing ferroptosis in tumor cells can enhance the therapeutic effects of drugs on tumors.This article summarizes the latest research progress in ferroptosis regarding its mechanisms and associations with tumors,aiming to provide a reference for further understanding the interaction mechanisms between ferroptosis and tumors and offering new insights and targets for the treatment of tumors.
