Objective: To learn the health literacy status, trend and associated factors of Ningbo residents from 2015 to 2019, so as to provide basis for developing health policies and interventions. Methods: The monitoring data of health literacy of Ningbo residents from 2015 to 2019 was collected. The health literacy level was calculated and standardized by the population data of the sixth national census of Ningbo in 2010; five-year absolute growth and growth rate were used to reflect the changing trend. Multivariate logistic regression model was employed to analyze the influencing factors for the health literacy level. Results: The health literacy levels from 2015 to 2019 were 15.44%, 21.73%, 22.41%, 27.60% and 30.03%, with an annual increase trend ( P<0.05 ). The five-year absolute growth and growth rate were 14.59% and 94.49%. The Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the year ( OR=1.158, 95%CI: 1.132-1.184 ), age ( 25-<35岁 years, OR=1.235, 95%CI: 1.039-1.468; 35-<45岁 years, OR=1.416, 95%CI: 1.193-1.681; 45-<55岁 years, OR=1.221, 95%CI: 1.024-1.455 ) , education level ( primary school, OR=1.790, 95%CI: 1.461-2.195; junior high school, OR=2.574, 95%CI: 2.102-3.154; high school/vocational high school/technical secondary school, OR=4.863, 95%CI: 3.943-5.998; college or above, OR=8.829, 95%CI: 7.109-10.965 ) , urban areas ( OR=0.934, 95%CI: 0.874-0.998 ) and occupation ( farmers, OR=0.692, 95%CI: 0.608-0.787; workers, OR=0.746, 95%CI: 0.664-0.837; enterprise staff, OR=0.822, 95%CI: 0.745-0.906; others, OR=1.106, 95%CI: 1.009-1.211 ) were the influencing factors for health literacy level. Conclusion The health literacy level of Ningbo residents shows an upward trend from 2015 to 2019, which are associated with age, education level, area and occupation.

Objective To investigate the correlation between RDW and disease activity in patients with IBD and evaluate clinical significance of RDW as a potential indicator to monitor IBD activity. Methods 256 patients with IBD were divided into two groups. One was UC group including 136 patients with 80 active period cases and 56 emission period cases. Another was CD group including 120 patients with 75 active period cases and 45 emission period cases. 60 bacillary dysentery diseases and 80 healthy controls were selected as bacillary dysentery group and healthy control group. RDW, Hb, WBC, PLT, CRP, ESR, MCV were tested and monitored with development of disease at different stages. We compared RDW with CRP,ESR, PLT, Hb, MCV parameters. By ROC curve analysis, the sensitivity and specificity of RDW was estimated in identifying the IBD's activity. Results The mean values of RDW in active UC group, remission UC group, bacillary dysentery group and control group were ( 16. 1 ± 2. 7), ( 13.5 ± 2. 1 ), ( 13.0 ± 2. 0)and ( 12. 8 ± 1.8), respectively. There was significant difference among four groups ( F = 51.9, P < 0. 01 ).RDW in active UC group was significant higher than that in remission UC group, bacillary dysentery group and healthy control group ( t = 8. 12, 9. 67, 11.85, P < 0.05) and RDW in remission UC group was significant higher than that in bacillary dysentery group and healthy control group as well ( t = 2. 45, 2. 67,P <0. 05). The mean values of RDW in active CD group, remissive CD group,bacillary dysentery group and control group were ( 16. 9 ± 2. 2 ), ( 13. 8 ± 1.1 ), ( 13.0 ± 2. 0), ( 12. 8 ± 1.8 ). There was significant difference among four groups ( F = 113.9, P < 0. 01 ). RDW in the active CD group was significant higher than that in remission CD group, bacillary dysentery group and healthy control group (t = 11.47,18.63,18. 72, P < 0. 05 ) and RDW in remission CD group was also significant higher than that in bacillary dysentery group and healthy control group ( t = 3.60, 3. 72, P < 0. 05 ). RDW in UC and CD groups demonstrated a positive correlation with CRP and ESR (r=0. 484, 0. 525, 0. 286, 0. 358 and P<0. 01, <0. 01, < 0. 05, < 0. 01, respectively) but an inverse correlation with Hb and MCV (r = -0. 378, -0. 271,- 0. 329, - 0. 298 and P < 0. 01, < 0. 01, < 0. 05, < 0. 01, respectively). In UC groups RDW represented a larger area under ROC curve (0. 8.54) compared with CRP, ESR, PLT, Fib and MCV. When the cut-off value of RDW was 14. 0, the sensitivity and specificity for identifying active UC were 82% (65/80) and 72% (40/56) respectively. In CD groups, the area of RDW under ROC curve was the largest (0. 925 )among all indicators. When the cut-off of RDW was 14.5, the sensitivity and specificity for identifying active CD was 88% (66/75) and 82% (37/45) respectively. Conclusion RDW in patients with IBD is a useful indicator to estimate the IBD activity and predict disease progression.

Objective To study the role of vascular resection in the radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods One hundred and forty-two cases of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) data during July 2009 and December 2014 were analyzed retrospectively .After sufficient preoperative management including relieving jaundice , three dimensional assessments were evaluated and then surgical planning was designed. Results One hundred and forty-two cases underwent surgery after adequate preoperative preparation and evaluation, of whom 16 patients had vascular resection. Portal vein resection was performed in 11 cases, in which the portal vein wedge excision was performed in 4 cases, the portal vein anastomosis in 6 cases, and right anterior portal vein resection and reconstruction was performed in 1 case. Because of tumor invasion in the right hepatic artery, 4 patients underwent right hepatic artery resection and saphenous vein reconstruction, and 1 patient underwent right hepatic artery anastomosis. Postoperative complications were as follows:bile leakage in 1 case, no abdominal bleeding and abdominal infection, and no vascular thrombosis-related complications, and the overall complication rate was 1/16. There was no perioperative death . The follow-up results was as follows: 1 patient died 3 months after surgery, 1 died of liver metastasis after 9 months, 2 cases were lost to follow up, and the rest patients were still followed up. Conclusions Vascular resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma helps to improve tumor resection rate and prognosis in large medical centers. With the use of three dimensional assessment, preoperative management and reasonable surgical strategy can reduce postoperative complications and ensure safety for hilar cholangiocarcinoma resection.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of one stage hybrid operation for aortic arch replacement and explore the indication. Methods From July,2009 to March,2010, 22 consecutive patients received one stage hybrid operation in our hybrid suite for aortic dissection or aortic aneurysm involving aortic arch. Two operative methods are used. (1)Bypass from ascending aorta to brachiocephalic arteries using midstemotomy and normothermia with antegrade aortic arch endovascular stented graft implantation. (2) Ascending aorta replacement and/or aortic valve replacement and/or coronary artery bypass grafting using midstemotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass with antegrade aortic arch endovascular stented graft implantation. Results All patients were technically successful. Angiography during the operation showed 100% patency of all the bypass grafts and no obvious translocation or endoleak of the stents. One patient in the first group died on sixth day after operation due to distal dissection rupture. There was one case of mediastinal lymph effusion in the second group and one case of death due to renal failure and respiratory failure 12 days after operation in the second group. The ICU stay and hospital stay were obviously shorter in hybrid open chest group than that in traditional open chest operation group(P ＜0.05). The blood product consumption and expenditure were also obviously less in hybrid open chest group than that in traditional open chest operation group (P ＜0.05). All the patients were followed up with a mean period of (14.45 ±2.33) months (range: 12 -20 months). All other patients were recovered with normal social life. CT showed neither endoleak nor translocation of the stented grafts. Faulse lumen closure rate at stented-graft segment is 100%. There was no obvious change of distal part of the dissection three months after operation except some thrombosis formation in some of the false lumen. Conclusion One stage hybrid operation for aortic arch replacement is safe and effective in shortening the duration of the operation and reducing the surgical trauma and risk of interval between procedures, shortening the hospital stay and reducing the blood product consumption compared with conventional operation with satisfactory early results. The midterm and long term results are still needed to be followed up.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between the expressions of KAI1, nm23, ETS-1, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and microvascular density (MVD) and lymph node metastasis and prognosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

METHODSThe Envision immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expressions of KAI1, nm23, ETS-1 and VEGF in 50 cases of non-keratinizing carcinoma (NKC) with cervical lymph node metastasis, 30 cases of NKC without cervical lymph node metastasis at the primary diagnoses and 30 cases of non-tumor nasopharyngeal tissues (NP). The microvascular density was counted by immunostaining with CD34.

RESULTS(1) The expression rates of KAI1 and nm23 protein in NKC with cervical lymph node metastasis group and without cervical lymph node metastasis group and NP group increased successively , the difference being significant (P < 0.05); The expression rates of ETS-1 and VEGF protein in NKC with cervical lymph node metastasis group and without cervical lymph node metastasis group and NP group increased successively, the difference being significant (P < 0.05). (2) In 80 NKC cases, the MVD was respectively lower in KAI1 and nm23 protein positive groups than those in the negative groups (P < 0.05); the MVD was respectively higher in ETS-1 and VEGF protein positive groups than those in the negative groups (P < 0.05 ). (3) There was significant difference between the MVD, the number of NKC without cervical lymph node metastasis cases in the single expression of KAI1 or nm23 protein and in common expression of KAI1 and nm23 protein (P < 0.05), in the same as between the single expression of ETS-1 or VEGF protein and in common expressions of ETS-1 and VEGF protein (P < 0.05). (4) There was positive correlation between the expressions of KAI1 and nm23 protein (P < 0.01), as well as between the expressions of ETS-1 and VEGF protein (P < 0.01). (5) the 5-year survival rates of the patients correlated with cervical lymph node metastasis and the expressions of KAI1, nm23, ETS-1 and VEGF proteins in NKC (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe expressions of KAI1, nm23, ETS-1 and VEGF proteins were highly related to MVD in NPC,cervical lymph node metastasis and prognosis. They might be considered to be reference indicator for evaluating the cervical lymph node metastasis and prognosis of NPC.
