Cultivating students' creative spirit was an important aim of higher education,and improving scientific research ability was an effective way to realize this aim.Using Journal of Zhejiang Medical College as the carrier,Journal editorial department tried to improve students' scientific research ability.For instance,served fund projects,found competition's added value,offered course about research design and paper writing.The students' scientific research ability was improved.

Objective To formulate a labor service value evaluation system for nurses in traditional Chinese nursing technique .Methods Through literature review and semi-interview the preliminary index system was established .A two-round expert Delphi study was conducted .A panel of twenty-six experts drawn from the fields of traditional Chinese nursing and traditional Chinese medicine were consulted .All data were collected and analyzed.Results After two rounds of consultations , a labor service value evaluation system for nurses in traditional Chinese nursing technique was built which contained five primary class indexes including the technical difficulty (39.50%), the intensity of labor (19.08%), nursing risk (22.85%), time consumption (9.99%) and technical conditions (8.58%) and eleven secondary indexes (including their weight).Conclusions The evaluation system is scientific and reliable , which could measure the labor value of the traditional Chinese nursing techniques comprehensively and provide a reference for reasonable pricing .

Objective To investigate the distribution of intraocular pressure (IOP) and its relationship with central corneal thickness (CCT) in healthy people. Methods Participants included 1 715 persons undergoing health check‐up during January 1 to December 31, 2018. They were enrolled according to the randomized digital table into this investigation by simple random sampling method; 879(51%) persons were male with an average age of 48.0±13.6 and 836 (49%) persons were female with an average age of 48.0±12.7. Participants were divided into different groups according to ten‐year intervals. Each personal data, IOP and CCT were obtained; IOP was obtained by non‐contact tonometer and CCT was obtained by optic coherence tomography. The data were analyzed by SPSS 25 statistical software. Results The average IOP in this study was 15.04± 3.08 mmHg (1mmHg=0.133kPa) and the average CCT was 535.01±31.76 μm. The average IOP of each group showed an increase with age, and in the 50‐59 years group it reached the highest level (15.47±3.11 mmHg), after which, it decreased again. The average CCT values in all groups decreased with ageing and the highest level was in the 18‐30 years group (540±32.68 μm). The average IOP and CCT in males was higher than that in females. Multiple regression analysis adjusted for potential confounders such as age and gender implied that CCT is positively related to IOP (P<0.01). The IOP appeared to increase by 0.044 mmHg with the increase of every 1 mm of CCT (95% CI: 0.040~0.048, P<0.01). Conclusion IOP is closely related to CCT. More attention should be paid to CCT during the measurement of IOP to avoid misjudgment of a higher IOP for a higher CCT value as a pathological IOP or a pathological IOP among normal statistical range as a normal one, otherwise an opportunity for good treatment may be lost.

Objective To investigate the relationship of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with blood-lipid levels. Methods Individuals 40 years old or older who had undergone a physical-health examination in our hospital between January and December 2017 were enrolled in this study. Information regarding medical history and the results of essential ophthalmological and physical-health examinations were examined to exclude individuals with serious chronic diseases such as malignant tumors, stroke, myocardial infarction, pulmonary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and kidney disease. One thousand nine individuals with AMD (all at the early stage) were included in the AMD group, and 3489 individuals without AMD were included in the non-AMD group. Data of all participants, including total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, were collected and analyzed. Results The average age in the AMD group was higher than that in the non-AMD group, and the male to female ratio was significantly higher in the AMD group (P<0.05). After adjusting for age, gender, and BMI confounders, multiple linear stepwise regression analysis revealed that HDL-C was associated with AMD (β=-0.026, 95% CI: 0.045-0.006, P=0.011); there was no correlation between TC, TG, LDL-C, and AMD (all P>0.05). Conclusion Early stage AMD was related to a decrease in HDL-C, which may be a protective factor against AMD. Further study is warranted to validate this finding.

Objective To understand the proficiency level and sources of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)health education among hemodialysis patients,in order to provide the basis for promoting the application of TCM nursing in hemodialysis patients.Methods Utilizing a convenience sampling approach,we conducted a survey from April to May 2023 involving hemodialysis patients from 7 tertiary TCM hospitals across Beijing,Hebei Province,Sichuan Province,and other regions.Custom-made questionnaires were utilized,gathering general information,respons-es conceming the level of mastery on TCM health education,and their primary sources of such knowledge.Results A total of 413 questionnaires were disseminated,and 392 proved valid,yielding a valid response rate of 94.92％.The score of patient's knowledge on TCM health education averaged(8.25±3.73),and an average score rate of 48.53％was obtained.In the patients undergoing hemodialysis,a relatively larger number of people possess knowl-edge of TCM health knowledge about relieving symptoms(50.8％～55.9％)and traditional Chinese daily life routines(56.4％～90.1％).However,fewer people are aware of how to use the five-tone therapy method for emotional inter-vention(40.8％)and principle of taking restorative Traditional Chinese Medicine(24.5％～36.7％),the dietary prin-ciples of"nurturing yang in spring and summer,and nurturing yin in autumn and winter"(14.3％),and theories of TCM kidney functions(9.9％).Approximately 23.0％of the patients sourced their TCM health education knowledge from new media platforms.Compared with new media method alone,patients who utilized only traditional education-al platforms(P=0.020),and those who combined both new media and traditional methods(P=0.018)demonstrated higher proficiency in TCM health education.Conclusion Hemodialysis caregivers are urged to develop a TCM health education framework that emphasizes emotional well-being and traditional wellness concepts,thereby fostering patient-centric TCM health ideologies.Hemodialysis education personnel are encouraged to leverage new media whilst ensuring education quality and effective outcomes.
