Objective: To explore the association of vegetables and fruits intake with depressive symptoms among multi ethnic first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province, so as to provide data support for preventing and reducing depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students. Methods: From October to December 2022, a cluster random sampling method was used to select 8 500 first year junior high school students from 11 ethnic minority areas in Yunnan Province (Fugong County, Longling County, Longyang District, Luchun County, Mojiang County, Nanjian County, Qiaojia County, Shuangjiang County, Tengchong City, Yuanmou County, Zhenyuan County), to investigate with a questionnaire. The Dietary Frequency Questionnaire was used to collect dietary behavior datas, and the Chinese version of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) was used to assess depressive symptoms. The generalized linear model was used to analyze the association of vegetable and fruit intake with depressive symptoms in students, and stratified analysis was performed according to ethnicity. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province was 29.5%. The detection rates of depressive symptoms in Han and minority first year junior high school students were 26.9% and 31.6%. After controlling for demographic variables such as gender, age, family residence and other confounding factors, the generalized linear model analysis results showed that the intake of leafy vegetables ( β= -0.07 , 95%CI =-0.12 to -0.01), flat fruits ( β=-0.06, 95%CI =-0.12 to -0.00) and hot natured fruits ( β=0.11, 95%CI = 0.04- 0.17) were associated with depressive symptoms in Han first year junior high school students (all P <0.05). The intake of melon and fruit vegetables ( β=-0.06, 95%CI =-0.11 to -0.01) and hot natured fruits ( β=0.06, 95%CI =0.01-0.12) were associated with depressive symptoms in ethnic minority first year junior high school students (both P <0.05). Conclusions The intake of vegetables and fruits among multi ethnic first year junior high school students in Yunnan Province is related to the risk of depressive symptoms. It is suggested to strengthen the consumption guidance and education of vegetables and fruits to prevent depressive symptoms among first year junior high school students.

Objective Based on the background of disease diagnosis related groups(DRGs)in public hospitals to construct the nursing quality evaluation index system for percutaneous radiofrequency ablation(PRFA)of liver cancer so as to improve the nursing quality for PRFA of liver cancer.Methods Using three-dimensional quality model and through interview,literature analysis,two rounds of Delphi expert letter inquiry and analytic hierarchy process,the evaluation standard of PRFA nursing quality of liver cancer was established,and its effect was validated in clinical practice.Results The evaluation index system of PRFA nursing quality for liver cancer was constructed,which included 3 first-level indexes,9 second-level indexes and 22 third-level indexes.After clinical application,the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative moderate-severe pain,the incidence of high fever,and the 24-hour number of times required care in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05),the incidence of postoperative Ⅲ degree vomiting in the intervention group was remarkably lower than that in the control group(P＜0.01),and the average hospitalization days in the intervention group were less than those in the control group(P＜0.05),and the average hospitalization expense in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion The PRFA nursing quality evaluation index system for liver cancer is scientific and practical,which is helpful for improving the outcome of patients and promoting the quality of nursing.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor with poor prognosis and high mortality. In this study, we demonstrated a novel vaccine targeting HCC and tumor neovascular endothelial cells by fusing recombinant MHCC97H cells expressing porcine α-1,3-galactose epitopes (αGal) and endorphin extracellular domains (END) with dendritic cells (DCs) from healthy volunteers. END⁺/Gal⁺-MHCC97H/DC fusion cells induced cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and secretion of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). CTLs targeted cells expressing αGal and END and tumor angiogenesis. The fused cell vaccine can effectively inhibit tumor growth and prolong the survival time of human hepatoma mice, indicating the high clinical potential of this new cell based vaccine.

Objective:To translate Fear of Progression Questionnaire (FoP-Q) into Chinese and test its reliability and validity.Methods:After translation, back translation and cultural adaptation, the items of the simplified Chinese version of FoP-Q were determined. Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 269 patients with hematological malignancies from two Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Beijing were selected as the research objects from August to December 2020. The general information questionnaire and the simplified Chinese version of FoP-Q were used to investigate the patients. Exploratory factor analysis was used to evaluate the structural validity of the simplified Chinese version of FoP-Q. Cronbach 's α coefficient and half-fold reliability coefficient were used to evaluate the reliability of the scale. Pearson correlation analysis method was used to analyze the correlation between each dimension and between each dimension and the total scale. A total of 269 questionnaires were distributed, and 256 valid questionnaires were returned. The effective response rate was 95.167% (256/269) . Results:The simplified Chinese version of FoP-Q extracted 5 factors through factor analysis, with a total of 41 items, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 64.201%. The content validity index of each item of the scale was 0.857-1.000, the Kappa value was 0.850-1.000, the content validity index of the overall consistency scale was 0.814 and the content validity index of the average scale was 0.973. The total Cronbach 's α coefficient of the scale was 0.969, and the Cronbach 's α coefficient of the five factors was 0.815-0.941. The half-fold reliability coefficient of the total scale was 0.955. Conclusions:The simplified Chinese version of Fear of Progression Questionnaire has good reliability and validity, which can be used to evaluate the degree of fear of disease progression in patients with malignant tumors in China

Objective:To explore the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) and bone metabolism marker osteocalcin (OC) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Methods:A total of 100 patients with T2DM admitted to Shaoxing People's Hospital (Shaoxing Hospital, Zhejiang University) from January 2018 to August 2018 were selected as study subjects, and the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) was detected.The patients were divided into CAS group and normal carotid IMT group (NC group), with 50 cases in each group.The levels of OC, fasting plasma glucose(FPG), fasting insulin(FINS), glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein(HDL-C), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were compared between the two groups.Results:The OC level of the CAS group[(11.86±4.46)ng/mL] was significantly lower than that of the NC group[(23.94±4.52)ng/mL] ( t=-9.640, P=0.001). The LDL-C level of the CAS group[(2.89±0.82)mmol/L] was significantly higher than that of the NC group[(2.55±1.16)mmol/L]( t=2.03, P=0.049). Pearson correlation analysis showed that IMT was positively correlated with age, LDL-C, HbA1c ( r=0.285, 0.190, 0.173; P=0.000, 0.020, 0.035), and negatively correlated with OC ( r=-0.603, P=0.000). Conclusion:CAS in patients with T2DM is closely related to OC, and the reduction of OC levels may be a risk factor for CAS in T2DM patients.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic significance of paranasal sinus invasion for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its suitable position in the T classification. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of 695 patients with previously untreated, biopsy-proven, non-metastatic NPC that was treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: The incidence of paranasal sinus invasion was 39.4% (274 of 695 patients). Multivariate analysis showed that paranasal sinus invasion was an independent negative prognostic factor for local failure-free survival (LFFS) (p < 0.05). According to the eighth American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system, 275 patients were classified as T3 classification. Of these, 78 patients (28.4%) developed paranasal sinus invasion (T3b) and 197 (71.6%) didn't (T3a). The estimated 5-year LFFS and overall survival (OS) rates for the patients with T3b and T3a classification were 88.6% versus 95.0% (p=0.047), and 84.5% versus 93.3% (p=0.183), respectively. The estimated 5-year LFFS and OS rates for the patientswith T4 classificationwere 89.5% and 83.2%,whichwere similarwith the outcomes of patients with T3b classification. CONCLUSION: MRI-determined paranasal sinus invasion is an independent prognostic factor of NPC treated by IMRT. Paranasal sinus invasion is recommended to classify as T4 classification in the 8th AJCC staging system for NPC.

Objective To explore the impact of oral nutritional supplements in the local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients receiving chemoradiotherapy. Methods From 2016 to 2018, we prospectively collected 114 patients into our study, including intervention group ( n=58) and control group ( n=56) . Patients in the intervention group were given oral nutritional supplements from the beginning of radiotherapy, while the control group patients were receiving usual diet care. We collected data of weight, hematological index and nutrition related information before, during and after treatments. Results All patients experienced weight loss during radiotherapy. The declining trend was more obvious in intervention group but with no statistical difference ( P>0.05) . Radiotherapy interruption was lower, completion rate of 2 cycles of concurrent chemotherapy was higher( 78% vs 64%, P=0.02) and level of total serum protein and albumin was more stable ( P=0.003, 0.001) in the intervention group. No difference was found in acute toxicities between the two groups ( P>0.05) . During the treatment period, the nutrition risk screening score declined, more patients with NRS 2002 ≥3 in the control group than the intervention group ( P<0.05) , while no statistically significant difference was found in PG-SGA between the two groups ( P>0.05 ) . Conclusions Oral nutritional supplements can improve treatment tolerance and keep the stability of serum protein level, nevertheless, it has no obvious advantage in maintenance of weight and short-term nutritional status

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect and security of Buyang Huanwu decoction in treatment of the ischemic stroke recovery. Methods: We retrieved the relevant articles of random and semi- random control trials in treating ischemic stroke recovery using Buyang Huanwu decoction, published in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), the Wanfang Data, the Weipu Information Resources System, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Cochrane Library, PUBMED and MEDLINE from the date of establishment until to March 2018. The quality of studies was evaluated according to the Cochrane Reviewers?? handbook 5.1, and the study was carried out using Cochrane system assessment methods. Statistical analysis was performed with Rev Man 5.3. Results: Altogether 39 studies and 3539 cases of ischemic stroke recovery were enrolled. In terms of clinical efficacy, the difference between Buyang Huanwu Decoction and Western Medicine conventional therapy in the treatment of ischemic stroke was significantly different from that of conventional western medicine therapy [RR =1.26, 95％CI (1.20, 1.31), Z =10.05, P ＜ 0.00001], and the difference between Buyang Huanwu Decoction and other Chinese patent medicines was statistically significant [RR =1.12, 95％CI(1.06, 1.19), Z =3.82, P =0.0001]; neurological deficit NIHSS score [MD =-2.55, 95％CI (-3.10, -2.01), Z =9.20, P ＜ 0.00001]; clinical neurological deficit score (CSS) [MD =-3.85, 95％CI (-5.21, -2.50), Z =5.56, P ＜ 0.00001]; limb motor function score (FMA) [MD =6.10, 95％CI (1.19, 11.01), Z =2.43, P =0.01]; Barthel Index of Daily Living Activity Scale [MD =9.09, 95％CI (6.95, 11.23), Z =8.33, P ＜ 0.00001]; In terms of improving blood rheology index, serum peroxide lipid (LPO), serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and other biochemical indicators, due to the small number of studies, it may have a certain effect. Most studies did not report adverse reactions. Conclusion: Based on the existing clinical evidence, combination of Buyang Huanwu decoction and western medicine has higher clinical efficacy than western medicine alone for the ischemic stroke recovery. Due to the limited methodological quality of the included studies, more high- quality RCTs with large scale are needed to increase the strength of the above evidence.
