Objective To investigate the health knowledge and behaviors related to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) among the elderly of communities in national TCM health education pilot area of Zhejiang province and provide reference for TCM health education. Methods A survey about the health knowledge and behaviors status related to TCM was made among 600 elderly people in Gongshu District. The survey included demographic characteristics, health knowledge of TCM and health behaviors related to TCM. The univariate and multivariate analyses were used for analyzing the health knowledge and behavior status and influencing factors of the elderly. Results The awareness rate of knowledge about TCM health knowledge in elderly was 94.7%, the qualified rate of TCM behaviors was only 31.6%. It showed that the qualified TCM behaviors among the elders were significantly different in those of different economic status and physical exercise situation (χ2=6.606, 10.243, P=0.037, 0.001). The results of logistic regression model showed that the protective factors of qualified TCM behaviors were 60-year old and good physical exercise (OR=1.836, 2.249) and the risk factor was moderate economic status (OR=0.539). Conclusion The awareness rate of TCM health knowledge in Gongshu District was high, but the qualified rate of TCM behaviors was low. The age, economic status and physical exercise situation are the influencing factors of TCM behaviors.

Objective To explore the current status and influencing factors of oral health knowledge and behavior among the elderly living in Gongshu District of Hangzhou City.Methods A total of 600 elderly individuals were selected by multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling and interviewed with a self-designed questionnaire which included demographic characteristics and oral health knowledge and behavior.The status and influencing factors of oral health behavior were analyzed by single and multiplefactor analysis methods.Results A questionnaire survey was conducted among 600 elderly residents,with a response rate of 99.3% (596/600) and an effective response rate of 94.1% (561/600).The rate of good oral hygiene was 50.4%.Those elderly with different age,education level,medical insurance and oral hygiene showed significant difference in qualified rate of oral health behavior (x2 values were 10.79,21.32,5.72 and 16.33,respectively; all P<0.05).In Logistic regression model,education level was positively correlated with oral health behavior among the elderly,and the qualified rate of oral health behavior of the elderly with education level of junior school or above was 2.69 times higher than that of illiterate elderly (x2=10.53,P=0.001).Conclusion The awareness rate of oral health knowledge among the elderly living in Gongshu District of Hangzhou City is at a relatively higher level,though oral health behavior is moderate.Age,education level,medical insurance and oral hygiene could be impacting factors of oral health behavior.

Objective To explore the current status and influencing factors of oral health knowledge,attitudes and practice (KAP) among the teachers of primary and secondary schools in Gongshu District of Hangzhou City.Methods A total of 652 teachers of primary and secondary schools were selected by using multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method and completed a self-designed questionnaire,which included demographic characteristics and oral health KAP.The status and influencing factors of oral health KAP were analyzed by single and multiple-factor analysis methods.Results The questionnaire was completed by all the 652 teachers,627 of whom were qualified (96.2%).The total ratios of oral health knowledge awareness,attitudes correctness and behaviors formation were 77.1%,68.7% and 46.3%,respectively.There was significant difference of knowledge awareness rate by age,gender,marriage status,monthly income,life status and current cigarette smoking (x2 values were 11.48,8.57,8.12,8.46,23.97 and 4.64,respectively; all P<0.05).There was significant difference in oral health attitudes correctness rate by gender (x2=10.65,P<0.05) and behaviors formation rate by gender,education level and life status (x2 values were 3.95,10.88 and 10.41,respectively; all P<0.05).In logistic regression model,impact factors of oral health knowledge awareness were age,gender,life status and physical exercises; the impact factors of oral health attitudes correctness were gender and monthly income; the impact factors of oral health behaviors formation were gender,level of education and physical exercises.Conclusion The oral health awareness and attitudes correctness are acceptible among the teachers of primary and secondary schools in Gongshu District of Hangzhou City,although the formation rate of oral health behaviors is low.Oral health education should be enforced among the teachers of primary and secondary schools.

Objective:To explore the application effect of case-based learning (CBL) in teaching magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for non-imaging clinical professional postgraduates.Methods:Eighty non-imaging clinical professional postgraduates who had standardized residency training from 2017 to 2019 were selected as the participants and were randomly divided into two groups, experimental group and control group. The experimental group adopted CBL, and the control group adopted traditional teaching mode. After the standardized training in the radiology department, the differences in image reading scores, theoretical scores and course evaluation were compared between the two groups. SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used for analysis. Independent t test was used for the measurement data of normal distribution, Mann-Whitney U test was used for the measurement data of skewed distribution, and categorical variables were compared by chi-square test. Results:In the reading scores of MRI, the scores of the experimental group and the control group were (82.53 ± 5.72) points and (77.38 ± 6.14) points respectively, and the number of students in the experimental group whose reading scores were between 80-100 segment was 63.6% higher than that in the control group, with significant differences between the two groups ( P < 0.001), but without significant differences in theoretical average scores between the two groups ( P > 0.05). In addition, in the course evaluation, except for the index of learning burden, there were significant differences in other indexes between the experimental group and the control group ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:In the teaching of MRI, the application of the CBL helps non-imaging clinical professional postgraduates improve their MRI diagnostic thinking and independent reading ability.
