Objective To analyze the status and risk factors of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection in permanent residents in a certain area. Methods The clinical data of 6 792 permanent residents surveyed from January 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. All subjects underwent 13C-urea breath test,and relevant general information was collected to analyze Hp infection status. According to whether Hp infection occurred, they were divided into positive group (n=4 283) and negative group (n=2 509). The differences in general information, living habits, and dietary habits between the two groups of subjects were analyzed, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted. Results Among the 6 792 permanent residents surveyed from January 2021 to December 2023, 4283 were positive for 13C-urea breath test, accounting for 63.05% of the total. There were statistically significant differences in age distribution, gender, BMI, tableware cleaning, personal hygiene products use, chopsticks use, and raw food and vegetable cleaning between the positive group and the negative group (P<0.05). The single factors of Hp infection were substituted into multivariate logistic regression analysis equation, and it was found that age ≥45 years old, male, BMI≥24, no use of detergents to clean utensils, sharing personal hygiene products, not using public chopsticks, having a habit of eating raw food, and not cleaning vegetables before eating were independent risk factors for Hp infection. Conclusion The positive rate of Hp infection in this area is relatively high, and the infection factors are related to age, gender, and some lifestyle and dietary habits.

【Objective】 To analyze nutrition-related factors that affect the prevalence of myopia in adolescents, in order to provide reference for primary prevention of myopia. 【Methods】 A stratified sampling method was used to select 385 adolescents from Zhengding County in October 2021. Adolescents in this study took vision testing, physical examination and completed a questionnaire survey. One-way analysis of variance and lasso regression were used to screen the variables, and Logistic regression was used to determine the possible influencing factors of myopia. Factor analysis was adopted to extract the dietary patterns of adolescents in Zhengding County, then the association between dietary patterns and myopia was analyzed. 【Results】 A total of 385 adolescents were surveyed, with the prevalence rate of myopia of about 68.6%. Multivariate analysis revealed that fried food(OR=8.480, 95%CI:1.058 - 67.971) was a risk factor for myopia, while intake of milk and dairy products(OR=0.994, 95%CI:0.991 - 0.999), soybeans and nuts(OR=0.997, 95%CI:0.994 - 0.999), no myopia in either parent(OR=0.312, 95%CI:0.115 - 0.845), physical education class 4 times per week(OR=0.269, 95%CI:0.074 - 0.984) were statistically associated with a lower risk of myopia(P<0.05). Three dietary patterns was extracted through factor analysis, including diversified dietary pattern, soy-hybrid dietary pattern, and snack and beverage dietary pattern. Logistic analysis results indicated that soy-hybrid dietary pattern(OR=0.85, 95%CI:0.73 - 0.99,P<0.05) was statistically associated with myopia. 【Conclusions】 The problem of myopia among adolescents in Zhengding County is more serious. Increasing the intake of milk and dairy products, soybeans and nuts, reducing the intake of fried foods, and adjusting the overall dietary structure should be recommended in order to prevent the development of myopia in adolescents.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of empathy between personality traits and death attitude in nursing students.Methods:From April to May 2022, a total of 237 undergraduate nursing students were surveyed by general information questionnaire, big five inventory, Jefferson scale of empathy for nursing students, and death attitude profile-revised. Common method bias test, correlation analysis and descriptive analysis were conducted by SPSS 26.0 software.PROCESS macro program was used to test the mediating effect.Results:Agreeableness(32.78±4.92), empathy(110.03±16.83)were positively correlated with positive death attitude(57.95±12.35)( r=0.274, 0.571, both P<0.01), neuroticism(23.00±4.78)was positively correlated with negative death attitude(31.81±10.04)( r=0.199, P<0.01), empathy was negatively correlated with negative death attitude ( r=-0.226, P<0.01). Empathy partially mediated the relationship between neuroticism and negative death attitude, the mediating effect accounted for 16.08%(0.032/0.199) of the total effect, and empathy played a completely mediating role between the agreeableness and positive death attitude. Conclusion:The death attitude of undergraduate nursing students is mainly natural acceptance. Personality traits can directly affect death attitude and also indirectly affect death attitude through empathy.

Objective:To explore the effect of supportive-expressive group therapy (SEGT) on alexithymia in patients with lung cancer.Methods:Totally 62 lung cancer patients were divided into control group( n=30) and intervention group( n=32) by coin flipping method.The intervention group received 6-week supportive-expressive group therapy and the intervention path was improved by action research method.There was no special intervention in the control group.The Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20) and hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) were used for measurement, and statistical analysis was carried out by SPSS 21.0. Results:The emotional recognition disorder (Wald groupχ 2=6.055, Wald interactionχ 2=15.157), emotional description disorder (Wald groupχ 2=5.736, Wald interactionχ 2=28.912), TAS-20 (Wald groupχ 2=7.181, Wald interactionχ 2=28.126), anxiety (Wald groupχ 2=4.905, Wald interactionχ 2=30.491), depression (Wald groupχ 2=9.580, Wald interactionχ 2=29.417) and HADA (Wald groupχ 2=8.140, Wald interactionχ 2=47.851) had significant group effect and interaction effect at the pre-test, post-test and 1 month after intervention(all P<0.05). There was no significant group effect in extroverted thinking (Wald groupχ 2=1.161, P>0.05), but the time effect (Wald timeχ 2=6.381, P<0.05) and the interaction effect (Wald interactionχ 2=6.339, P<0.05) were significant in the three time points.The group effect of emotional recognition disorder, emotional description disorder, TAS-20, anxiety, depression and HADA score at completed intervention and 1 month after intervention were significant(all P<0.05). Compared with before intervention, TAS-20((52.94±4.77) , (52.06±4.07)), emotional recognition disorder((17.72±2.23) , (17.78±1.64)), emotional description disorder((13.44±1.94) , (13.41±1.79)), HADA((14.41±2.63) , (13.75±2.97)), anxiety ((7.03±1.64), (6.84±1.51)), depression ((7.38±1.45) , (6.91±1.75) ) at completed intervention and 1 month after intervention decreased ( P<0.05), while the HADS of control group only decreased at completed intervention ( P<0.05). Conclusion:SEGT can reduce alexithymia in lung cancer receiving chemotherapy, and this intervention has positive effect on improving anxiety and depression in lung cancer patients received chemotherapy who are accompanied with emotional cognitive impairment and emotional somatic symptom recognition disorder.
