Objective: To understand the changing trend and influencing factors of health literacy among residents in Hangzhou from 2016 to 2020, so as to provide basis for health literacy promotion. Methods: The monitoring data of health literacy of residents in Hangzhou from 2016 to 2020 were collected. The five year cumulative growth and average growth rate were used to reflect the changing trend. The multivariate logistic regression model under complex survey design was used to analyze the influencing factors for health literacy. Results: From 2016 to 2020, the health literacy levels of Hangzhou residents were 26.91%, 29.49%, 31.83%, 34.73% and 38.00%, respectively. The five year cumulative growth was 11.09% and the average growth rate was 9.01%. Among three aspects of health literacy, the levels of basic knowledge and concept as well as healthy lifestyle and behaviors increased year by year (P<0.05), with the average growth rates of 15.12% and 2.92%. Among six types of health problems, the levels of chronic disease prevention and treatment, basic medical treatment, scientific view, health information as well as safety and first aid increased year by year ( P<0.05 ), with the average growth rates of 32.76%, 15.82%, 8.41%, 7.12% and 1.53%, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that education level ( junior high school, OR=5.359, 95%CI: 1.151-24.953;high school/vocational high school/technical secondary school, OR=9.214, 95%CI: 2.906-29.213; college or above, OR=29.977, 95%CI: 9.689-92.741 ) and occupation ( students, OR=2.564, 95%CI: 1.113-5.907 ) were the influencing factors for health literacy. Conclusion The health literacy levels of Hangzhou residents from 2016 to 2020 have been increasing year by year. The residents with higher education levels and students may have higher health literacy levels.

Objective:To introduce a 2-stage treatment protocol for the management of temporomandibular joint ankylosis with sec-ondary deformities in adults.Methods:24 adult patients (9 males and 15 female)(30 joints)at the average age of 26.1 years un-derwent TMJ reconstruction as the initial surgery,followed by orthodontic treatment and correction of secondary deformities as the sec-ond surgery.Clinical outcome was assessed based on maximal incisal opening,radiography and medical photography.Results:Skele-tal deformities were significantly improved in all patients,satisfactory occlusion was achieved with the orthodontic treatment,average maximal incisal opening increased from 3.4 mm to 32.5 mm(P <0.05).Conclusion:The 2-stage treatment protocol is an effective approach for management of TMJ ankylosis with secondary deformities in adult patients.

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of medication therapy management(MTM) on symptom improvement and medication adherence in depressed female patients, and to explore the depression severity and adherence characteristics of female patients of different ages. METHODS A total of 180 female depressed patients from February 2022 to July 2022 were recruited and randomly divided into two groups according to age and depression severity: the control group and the management group,with 90 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were given conventional therapy, while those in the management group were given MTM on top of conventional therapy. The self-rating depression scale(SDS)was applied at enrollment and 3 months after treatment to assess symptom improvement in both groups, and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale- 8(MMAS-8) was applied at the end of 4, 8 and 12 weeks of treatment to compare adherence differences between the two groups, and subgroup analysis was performed based on stratification factors. RESULTS A total of 147 patients completed all assessments and follow-up, and there was no statistically significant difference in drop-out rate between the control group and the management group(χ2=3.006, P=0.083). Patients who dropped-out with different depression severity were compared with those who did not, with a statistically significant difference(χ2=13.927, P=0.001). For the comparison of SDS scores by age group, the highest SDS scores before and after treatment were found in adolescence, followed by menopause, and the lowest in childbearing age, with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05). The SDS scores of each subgroup of different age groups and each subgroup of different depression severity in the management group were lower than those of the corresponding groups in the control group, with statistically significant differences except for the menopausal subgroup and the mild subgroup(P＜0.05). The overall compliance score of 176 patients was (5.69±1.37) points. In the full assessment the adherence scores were the highest in childbearing, followed by adolescence, and the lowest and the lowest in menopause, with statistically significant difference(χ2=6.61, P=0.037). The adherence scores of the different age groups were higher in the management group than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences in adolescence(χ2=25.573, P＜0.001), childbearing age(χ2=7.772, P=0.005)and menopause(χ2=19.776, P＜0.001) for the full assessment. Except for the 1st and 2nd follow-up in childbearing age, there were statistically significant differences between management group and control group at three age groups in the three follow-up visits(P＜0.05). CONCLUSION The depression severity in female depressed patients varies by age, with the heaviest in adolescence and the least severe in childbearing age. The overall level of medication adherence is low in female patients. The adherence is highest in childbearing age and lowest in menopause. MTM boasts to be effective in promoting symptom improvement and adherence in female depressed patients of different ages.
