Objective:To translate the Home Healthcare Robot Adoption Intention and Its Determinants Questionnaire into Chinese and test its reliability and validity.Methods:After translation, back translation, semantic analysis, expert consultation, and cultural adaptation, a preliminary Home Healthcare Robot Adoption Intention and Its Determinants Questionnaire was determined. From February 25 to November 30, 2022, convenience sampling was used to select middle-aged and elderly individuals from communities in Shanghai city, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Shanxi provinces as research subjects for reliability and validity testing of the questionnaire.Results:A total of 280 questionnaires were distributed, and 231 valid questionnaires were collected. The content validity index of the questionnaire level was 0.97. The total Cronbach's α coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.912, and the split half reliability coefficient was 0.848. Using principal component analysis and maximum variance rotation method to extract common factors with eigenvalue > 1, five common factors were extracted, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 74.921%. The final Chinese version of the Home Healthcare Robot Adoption Intention and Its Determinants Questionnaire consisted of 5 dimensions and 29 items, named as the usage intention, social influence, ethical and legal concern, privacy concern, and performance expectancy.Conclusions:The Chinese version of the Home Healthcare Robot Adoption Intention and Its Determinants Questionnaire includes 5 dimensions and 29 items. It is an effective and reliable tool for evaluating the intention to use home healthcare robots, and can be used to survey the public's intention to use home healthcare robots.

Objective To investigate the physics technique and quality assurance (QA) during radiotherapy in the institutions from the East Guangdong province,aiming to provide reference for the construction of radiotherapy discipline and rational allocation of resources in the primary hospitals from the eastern Guangdong province.Methods From March 15 to May 20,2016,the general conditions,radiotherapy equipment,available technique and quality assurance (QA) in the medical institutions from eastern Guangdong were investigated and analyzed by online combined with on-spot surgery.Results There were 8 institutions which provided radiotherapy with 966 ward beds,a daily capacity of 632 patients and 222 radiotherapy practitioners.Radiotherapy equipment included 12 linear accelerators,5 after-loading devices,1γ-knife,8 CT simulators and 9 radiotherapy planning systems.Five institutions performed IMRT/VMAT,IGRT and ART.Dose verification was performed before precision radiotherapy delivery in all institutions except for 1 center.QA procedures were missing for the linear accelerators,CT simulators and after-loading devices.Short-term advanced studies and hand-by-hand teaching were the main approaches for staff professional training.Conclusions The resource allocation for radiotherapy in the medical centers from the eastern Guangdong province is scarce.The technique and QC levels greatly differ among different institutions.Standard QA protocols are urgently to be established and implemented.Extensive attentions should be paid to the the professional training for technicians.

Objective:To examine the clinical application effects of two-complex and one-plane technique for the renal artery dissected location in transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy(LRN).Methods:Clinical data of patients diagnosed as renal tumor between January 2016 and December 2019 that treated with transperitoneal LRN and the two-complex and one-plane technique was performed to locate and dissect the renal arteries were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 206 qualified patients were enrolled, included 71 cases from Kaifeng Central Hospital and 135 cases from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. There were 126 males and 80 females with median age of 54 years (range: 35 to 82 years). Renal tumor lived at left kidney in 102 cases and at the right in 104 cases, with a maximum tumor diameter of (6.8±2.5)cm (range: 3.0 to 12.7 cm). During the procession of transperitoneal LRN, The genital veins was followed to locate renal veins, soon the renal vein complex and renal lower pole complex and psoas major muscle plane that named as “two-complex and one-plane”anatomical markers were applied to the dissected location of renal arteries. The established application of two-complex and one-plane technique for renal artery location, and the anatomical features along with its locational time of renal artery, as well as vascular-related complications were recorded and analysed. The χ 2 test or t test was used to compare the results of different lateral operations. Results:The surgical procedures were successful in all 206 patients. The operation time was (54.4±13.6) minutes (range:22 to 116 minutes), no injury to liver, spleen or intestine. Two-complex and one-plane technique was used to complete renal arteries location of 206 patients that accompanied with one or more arterial branch in the procession of transperitoneal LRN. Single renal artery branch was found in 163 cases, two or more renal artery branches were found in 43 cases, and 60 branches of accessory renal artery that in addition to the main trunks were detected in 14 cases (13.7%, 14/102) on left-side and 29 cases (27.9%, 29/104) on the right(χ2=6.251, P=0.012).The main branch of renal artery that directly been located inferior or posterior to renal vein in 165 cases, and the other 41 cases that born with higher-position of main branch been located through an upper“window-opening”of renal veins complex. Of the 60 accessory renal artery, 46 branch (76.6%, 46/60) been located inferior or posterior to renal veins, and the other 14 branch with higher-position (23.3%, 14/60) been located by a"window-opening"technique. The renal artery dissected location time was (21.2±9.4) minutes (range:11 to 43 minutes) in left-side and (17.5±9.3) minutes (range:9 to 32 minutes) in the right ( t=2.840, P=0.005).The intraoprative bleeding was (51.8±25.2) ml (range:20 to 400 ml). There were 4 cases of vascular injury occured and treated with laporoscopy, only one need blood transfusion. Conclusions:The anatomical markers of renal vein complex and renal lower pole complex and psoas major muscle plane that can apply to locate various anatomical position types of renal artery in transperitoneal LRN effectively. The exactly application of two-complex and one-plane technique that could shorten the operational time of renal artery location and reduce the complications of vascular injury.

Objective:To evaluate the recovery of daytime and nighttime urinary continence in patients with robotic-assisted radical cystectomy and ileal orthotopic neobladder from 1 to 60 months after surgery, and systematically analyze the influencing factors of daytime and nighttime urinary continence recovery.Methods:The convenient sampling method was used to select clinical data of 60 patients who underwent robotic-assisted radical cystectomy and ileal orthotopic neobladder by a single operator from December 2014 to January 2020 and they were followed up for daytime and nighttime use of urine pads and prognosis. A total of 44 patients were eligible for follow-up data. Satisfactory recovery of daytime and nighttime urinary continence was defined as the use of less than or equal to 1 pad, and complete recovery of daytime and nighttime urinary continence was defined as no urine leakage. The daytime and nighttime urinary continence recovery in patients with robotic-assisted radical cystectomy and ileal orthotopic neobladder was assessed at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 60 months. Cox regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative urinary continence recovery.Results:Cox regression multivariate analysis showed that preservation of neurovascular bundles was associated with satisfactory recovery of daytime urinary continence, satisfactory recovery of nighttime urinary continence and complete recovery of daytime urinary continence ( P<0.05) . Clevien grading of complications within 90 d could affect the satisfaction of daytime urinary control recovery. Preoperative hydronephrosis was an independent factor affecting the satisfaction of nighttime urinary continence recovery. Conclusions:Preserving neurovascular bundles is an influencing factor in promoting postoperative urinary continence recovery in patients with robotic-assisted radical cystectomy and ileal orthotopic neobladder. In addition, postoperative complications and preoperative hydronephrosis are independent factors affecting the satisfaction of daytime and nighttime urinary continence recovery, respectively, but it need to be further confirmed by multicenter prospective studies.

In November 2023, the seventh National Nucleic Acid Vaccine Conference was held to deeply discuss the immune mechanism, safety risks, advantages, and disadvantages of nucleic acid vaccines, and review the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines developed by nucleic acid vaccine technology. Some prospectives were formed in the meeting that in the post-pandemic era, nucleic acid vaccine technology will play a role in the following areas: dealing with pathogens that are difficult to be prevented by traditional vaccines, promoting the upgrading of traditional live attenuated vaccines, contributing to the development of multivalent and combined vaccines, and rapid response to emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. These views point out the direction for the future development of nucleic acid vaccine technology.
