Abstract The health literacy level among the elderly in China remains at a low level. The 14th Five-Year Plan for Healthy Aging clearly points out that health literacy promotion projects should be implemented to improve the health literacy level among the elderly. The health literacy promotion strategies for the elderly require individual, social, policy and environmental supports. This article reviewed four types of health literacy promotion strategies for the elderly, including social strategies, lecture-based health education strategies, new media-based health communication strategies and environmental strategies. It also proposed that health education institutions, communities and other parties should work together, take advantage of digital technology and internet, and take various measures simultaneously to improve the health literacy of the elderly.

Objective : To investigate the protective effect of dimethyl fumarate(DMF) on maternal intrahepatic cholestasis(ICP) during pregnancy induced by di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate(DEHP) exposure and its mechanism. Methods : Thirty-two 8-week-old female institute of cancer research(ICR) mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: Ctrl group, DEHP group, DMF group and DEHP+DMF group. DEHP and DEHP+DMF groups were treated with DEHP(200 mg/kg) by gavage every morning at 9:00 a.m. DMF and DEHP+DMF groups were treated with DMF(150 mg/kg) from day 13 to day 16 of gestation by gavage. After completion of gavage on day 16 of pregnancy, maternal blood, maternal liver, placenta, and amniotic fluid were collected from pregnant mice after a six-hour abrosia. The body weight of the mother rats and the body weight of the fetus rats were sorted and analyzed; the levels of total bile acid(TBA), alkaline phosphatase(ALP), aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase(AST/ALT) in serum and TBA in liver, amniotic fluid and placenta were detected by biochemical analyzer; HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of liver tissue; Quantitative reverse transcription PCR(RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin(IL)-6, IL-1, IL-18 and NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3) in the liver; Western blot was used to detect the expression of the nuclear factor KappaB(NF-κB) and NLRP3. Results : Compared with the control group, the body weight of the DEHP-treated dams and pups decreased(P<0.05); the levels of TBA, ALP, AST/ALT in the serum of dams and the levels of TBA in the liver, amniotic fluid, and placenta of dams increased(P<0.05); the histopathological results showed that liver tissue was damaged, bile ducts were deformed, and there was inflammatory cell infiltration around them; the levels of inflammation-related factors TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1, IL-18 and NLRP3 transcription in maternal liver increased(P<0.05); the expression of NF-κB and NLRP3 protein in maternal liver significantly increased( P<0. 05). Compared with the DEHP group,the body weight of both dams and fetuses significantly increased in DEHP + DMF group( P<0. 05); the levels of TBA,ALP,AST/ALT in the serum of dams and amniotic fluid of fetuses decreased( P<0. 05); the degree of liver lesions was improved; the transcription levels of inflammation-related factors TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1,IL-18 and NLRP3 in maternal liver decreased( P<0. 05); the expression of NF-κB and NLRP3 protein in maternal liver significantly decreased( P<0. 05). Conclusion DMF can effectively protect the DEHP exposure to lead to female ICP,and its mechanism may be through inhibiting the NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway and reducing liver inflammation.

Objective To explore the pathogenesis and prognostic factors of liposarcoma in the head and neck region, and simultaneously analyze the efficacy of different treatment regimens. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on all patients with primary untreated head and neck liposarcoma who were diagnosed and underwent surgical treatment at our hospital from January 2008 to January 2024. All patients were monitored during follow-up, and their prognoses were analyzed using SPSS software. Results A total of 30 patients were included in the study. Liposarcoma accounted for up to 60% of the cases in the orbit, while the remaining liposarcomas were primarily located in various interspaces of the neck. Dedifferentiated liposarcoma was the most common type, comprising 33%, while myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma was the rarest at 4%. The tumor pathological type (P<0.001) and Ki67 (P=0.014) significantly affected the tumor control rate. However, an analysis of disease-specific survival rates revealed no significant differences across various factors (all P>0.05). Conclusion The prognosis of head and neck liposarcoma is better compared to that of liposarcomas in other parts of the body. However, myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma, pleomorphic fat sarcoma, and high Ki67 levels are indicators of poor prognosis. Additionally, postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy does not significantly enhance disease-specific survival rates.

Objective To explore the mediating effects of personal resourcefulness and adversity appraisal between post competency and public health emergency (PHE) response ability among critical care nurses. Methods A total of 430 critical care nurses were selected as the research subjects using the convenience sampling method. The questionnaire survey was conducted using ICU Nurse Core Competency Scale, Resourcefulness Scale, Adversity Appraisal Scale, and Public Health Emergency Response Ability Questionnaire for Nurses. The structural equation model and the Bootstrap method was used to test the chain mediating effect of personal resourcefulness and adversity appraisal between post competency and the ability to respond to PHE. Results The scores of post competency, personal resourcefulness, adversity appraisal and PHE response ability were (67.5±13.3), (90.7±14.5), (44.2±7.9) and (62.4±8.0), respectively. The post competency score was positively correlated with personal resourcefulness, adversity appraisal and PHE response ability [correlation coefficient (r) was 0.763, 0.685 and 0.720, all P<0.01]. The personal resourcefulness score was positively correlated with adversity appraisal and PHE response ability (r was 0.629 and 0.716, all P<0.01). The adversity appraisal score was positively correlated with PHE response ability (r was 0.707, P<0.01). The total effect of post competency on PHE response ability was 0.551. Personal resourcefulness and adversity appraisal played a partial mediating role in the effect of post competency on PHE response ability, and the mediating effect accounted for 27.2% and 18.0% respectively. Their combined chain mediating effect accounted for 17.2% of the total effect. Conclusion Post competency not only directly predicts PHE response ability but also indirectly influences it through the chain mediation of personal resourcefulness and adversity appraisal in critical care nurses.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of the comprehensive innovative teaching model with "3D printed model combined with visual surgical simulation" as the core in the clinical teaching of extremity bone defects.Methods:The physicians who participated in the clinical management of patients with extremity bone defects in Department of Orthopedics, Peking University Third Hospital, from March 2019 to December 2021 were selected as subjects and were divided into standardized training group with 52 physicians and refresher physician group with 58 physicians. Teaching and training was performed for the special disease of extremity bone defects, including basic knowledge teaching, dressing change for infected wounds, multidisciplinary discussion, digital surgical simulation, and practical surgical operation. The assessment indices for teaching quality included the assessment of theoretical knowledge and clinical skills, the objective evaluation of the clinical ability of patient management, and an investigation of the degree of satisfaction. SPSS 22.0 was used for the t-test and the chi-square test. Results:After training, both groups had significant increases in the assessment scores of theoretical knowledge [(32.4±6.7）and (42.2±3.8)] and clinical practice skills [(19.6±2.0), (20.8±2.2), (20.5±2.5), (21.5±2.3)]( P<0.05). After training, the standardized training group had significant increases in the scores of six objective evaluation indicators [(8.3±0.8) vs. (6.9±1.1), (7.4±0.7) vs. (6.3±1.5), (7.2±1.3) vs. (5.0±1.4), (7.9±1.2) vs. (4.0±1.5), (8.4±0.8) vs. (6.4±1.6), (40.3±2.6) vs. (28.6±2.4)]( P<0.01), while the refresher physician group had significant improvements in four aspects, i.e., the understanding of extremity bone defects [(8.1±0.9) vs. (7.2±1.1)], the self-confidence in facing complex extremity bone defects [(8.1±1.2) vs. (6.6±0.9)], spatial thinking ability in repair surgery for bone defects [(8.6±0.8) vs. (7.3±0.9)], and overall clinical performance in actual management of patients with bone defects [(41.4±2.3) vs. (37.3±1.8)] ( P<0.01). The satisfaction score for this comprehensive innovative teaching model was (95.3±3.2) points in the standardized training group and (94.8±2.8) points in the refresher physician group. Conclusions:The comprehensive innovative teaching model with "3D printed model combined with visual surgical simulation" as the core can significantly improve the basic knowledge and clinical skills of physicians in a short period of time and meet the needs for learning surgical techniques and advanced diagnosis and treatment concepts among refresher physicians.

Objective To explore the efficiency and safety of trans-sheath intraluminal forceps biopsy under digital subtraction angiography(DSA)guidance for assisting diagnosis of pulmonary artery obstructive diseases.Methods Data of 16 patients who underwent trans-sheath intraluminal forceps biopsy for pulmonary artery obstructive diseases were retrospectively analyzed,and the clinical manifestations were recorded.The technical success of biopsy was defined as tissue obtained met the needs of pathology diagnosis.For patients with malignant pathology results,the final diagnosis was malignant,for those with benign pathology results after biopsy and no obvious changes after 6-month or longer follow-up,or benign pathology results after surgical resection,the final diagnosis was benign,otherwise was no clear diagnosis.The operation time,technical success rate,diagnostic efficiency,complications and changes of pulmonary artery pressure before and after the biopsy were observed.Results Among 16 patients,9 complained of intermittent chest tightness,4 complained of chest pain with chest tightness,2 complained of chest pain but 1 denied any symptoms.The lesions located in the left lung in 10 cases and in the right lung in 6 cases,all with enhanced CT showed filling defects of the involved branch of pulmonary artery.Totally 16 trans-sheath intraluminal forceps biopsies were performed in 16 patients,with an average operation time of(31.02±6.02)min and technical success rate of 100%.Malignant tumors were finally diagnosed in 10 cases,including 1 case of lung cancer with false-negative biopsy result,while biopsy correctly diagnosed benign lesions in the other 6 cases.Transient worsening chest pain with chest tightness occurred in 2 cases and relieved after symptomatic treatments.No statistically significant difference of pulmonary artery pressure was found before([53.38±14.28]mmHg)and after([53.69±14.15]mmHg)biopsy(P＞0.05).Conclusion DSA-guided trans-sheath intraluminal forceps biopsy was relatively safe and valuable for assisting diagnosis of pulmonary artery obstructive diseases.

Objective:io investigate the expression level and clinical correlation of microRNA-144/451 gene cluster(miR-144/451)in different types of anemia.Methods:The peripheral blood of patients with aplastic anemia(AA),myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS)and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)who had been diagnosed with anemia for the first time and after chemotherapy were collected.The expression levels of miR-144 and miR-451 were measured by RT-qPCR,and the correlation between the expression levels of miR-144 and miR-451 and routine laboratory indexes was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.Results:The expression levels of miR-144 and miR-451 in the peripheral blood of AA and MDS patients were significantly lower than those in normal controls(all P＜0.0 1).No statistical differences were observed in the expression level of miR-144 in three subgroups of DLBCL patients(P＞0.05),while the expression level of miR-451 in peripheral blood of three subgroups of DLBCL patients were significantly higher than those in normal controls(all P＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that the expression levels of miR-144 and miR-451 in AA patients were positively correlated with red blood cell distribution width-coefficient of variation(RDW-CV)(r=0.629,0.574).There were no significant correlations between the expression levels of miR-144 and miR-451 and laboratory parameters in MDS and DLBCL patients.Conclusion:Different types of anemia disorders have varying levels of miR-144 and miR-451 expression,which is anticipated to develop into a secondary diagnostic and differential diagnostic indicator for clinical anemia diseases.

Objective To investigate the application effect of a bedside ultrasound-guided intestinal cleaning program in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.Methods A total of 51 patients with severe acute pancreatitis admitted to the ICU of a tertiary A hospital in Shandong from March to September 2023 were selected by convenience sampling method,and they were divided into an experimental group and a control group according to random number table method.The experimental group was given the bedside ultrasound-guided intestinal cleaning program,and the control group was given the routine intestinal cleaning program.Acute gastrointestinal injury ultrasonography score,the incidence of grade Ⅲ acute gastrointestinal injury and intra-abdominal pressure were compared between the 2 groups before intervention,on the 3rd and 5th day.Results There was an interaction effect between time and group in the comparison of acute gastrointestinal injury ultrasonography scores in the 2 groups(F=7.478,P<0.001);simple effect analysis showed that acute gastrointestinal injury ultrasonography scores in the experimental group were lower than those in control group on the 3rd and 5th day,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The incidence of grade Ⅲ acute gastrointestinal injury in the experimental group(23%)was lower than that in the control group(60%),with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The intra-abdominal pressure had an interaction effect between the 2 groups(F=47.128,P<0.001);simple effect analysis showed that the intra-abdominal pressure in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group on the 3rd and 5th day,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion The bedside ultrasound-guided intestinal cleaning program can improve acute gastrointestinal injury and reduce intra-abdominal hypertension in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
