Objective: To investigate the status and influencing factors of influenza vaccination among the elderly, so as to provide insights into improving the strategies for influenza vaccination among the elderly. Methods: Elderly people aged 60 years and above were recruited from one community each in five sub-districts of Shihezi City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region using a random sampling method. Demographic information, knowledge about influenza and influenza vaccines, vaccine literacy and influenza vaccination status in the past year were collected through questionnaire surveys. Factors affecting influenza vaccination among the elderly were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: Totally 1 121 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 95.08%. There were 417 males (37.20%) and 704 females (62.80%). The majority were aged 60-<81 years, accounting for 80.37% (901 individuals). The awareness of knowledge about influenza and influenza vaccines was 78.86%. Low vaccine literacy was observed in 786 individuals, representing 70.12%. The influenza vaccination rate was 20.96%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age (71-<81 years, OR=1.607, 95%CI: 1.041-2.479; ≥81 years, OR=1.719, 95%CI: 1.040-2.842), educational level (middle school/technical secondary school, OR=0.616, 95%CI: 0.416-0.911), medical expense payment (employee medical insurance, OR=6.531, 95%CI: 2.030-21.010; resident medical insurance, OR=3.385, 95%CI: 1.095-10.466; public expense, OR=4.828, 95%CI: 1.700-13.712), vaccination willingness (yes, OR=6.237, 95%CI: 3.277-11.871), influenza vaccination history (yes, OR=14.600, 95%CI: 8.733-24.408) and vaccine literacy (medium and above, OR=2.412, 95%CI: 1.636-3.555) were associated with influenza vaccination among the elderly. Conclusion The influenza vaccination rate among the elderly was relatively low, and was mainly affected by age, educational level, medical expense payment, vaccination willingness, influenza vaccination history and vaccine literacy.

Spinal cord infarction is rare， and vertebral artery dissection is even more seldom as a cause. This article reports a case of bilateral cervical spinal cord infarction due to right vertebral artery dissection and involvement of the anterior and posterior spinal artery supply areas， achieving a good recovery after intravenous thrombolysis， dual antiplatelet therapy， and other treatments. This may be the first reported case of spinal cord infarction caused by vertebral artery dissection treated with intravenous thrombolysis， suggesting that intravenous thrombolysis may be safe and effective for this rare condition. Vertebral artery dissection sometimes requires a combination of magnetic resonance imaging， vascular ultrasonography， computed tomography angiography， magnetic resonance angiography， and digital subtraction angiography for an accurate diagnosis.

Objective To explore the effect of multimodal exercise combined with enteral nutrition dur-ing radiotherapy in the patients with esophageal cancer complicating diabetes.Methods A total of 52 patients with esophageal cancer complicating diabetes in Zhejiang Provincial Tumor Hospital from January to Decem-ber 2021 were selected as the study subjects and divided into the control group(n=27)and intervention group(n=25)by using the random number table method.The control group implemented the routine exercise scheme,while the intervention group was given the multimodal exercise intervention on the basis of routine exercise.The blood glucose metabolism indicators,related biochemical indicators during radiotherapy and the incidence rate of adverse events during exercise were compared between the two groups.Results The levels of fasting blood glucose,random blood glucose and blood glucose before sleep in the intervention group during radiotherapy were(7.79±1.61)mmol/L,(9.47±1.77)mmol/L and(9.97±3.02)mmol/L,which were lower than(11.84±3.47)mmol/L,(14.18±5.42)mmol/L and(14.62±3.83)mmol/L in the control group with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).During the radiotherapy period,the levels of albumin,total protein and prealbumin in the intervention group were(37.96±2.13)g/L,(68.13±5.02)g/L and(232.89±41.11)g/L,which were lower than(36.05±2.89)g/L,(64.96±5.95)g/L and(207.76±47.59)g/L in the control group with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The incidence rates of adverse e-vents such as falls,hypoglycemia and accidental extubation during multimodal exercise in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The multimodal exercise could significantly improve the nutritional status during radiotherapy in the patients with esophageal cancer complicating diabetes,stabilize the blood glucose level of the patients,and has good feasibility and safety.

Objective To evaluate the early imaging characteristics and function of bladder wall reconstruction neourethra(BWN)after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy(RALP)for prostate cancer with magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and voiding cystourethrography(VCUG).Methods A total of 36 patients who underwent RALP using BWN technique at Taizhou People's Hospital during Mar.2021 and Jun.2023 were enrolled.Postoperative MRI was used to measure the length,wall thickness,and lumen shape of the new urethra.The morphology of the new urethra in 19 patients was observed under VCUG during the storage phase,voiding phase,and interrupted voiding phase.Results The patients'median age was 73.00 years(range:68.00 to 76.25),the prostate volume was(45.01±7.18)cm3,and the median total prostate-specific antigen(tPSA)level was 10.77 ng/mL(range:7.30 to 14.86).Two patients were classified as T1 stage,25 as T2,and 9 as T3.Gleason scores were ≤6 in 7 patients and ≥8 in 8 patients.Risk classification was low risk in 2 patients and high risk in 8 patients.Postoperatively,urinary control rates at 1,3,and 6 months were 91.67％,97.22％,and 100％,respectively.MRI revealed a median new urethra length of 15.13 mm(range:12.71 to 20.26)and a median wall thickness of 6.84 mm(range:6.18 to 8.20).The urethral lumen had a complete muscular layer and mucosal layer,which appeared petal-like.In patients with urinary incontinence,residual urine was visible in the new urethra and at the anastomosis site.Of the 19 patients who underwent VCUG,16 could close the new urethra during the storage and interrupted voiding phases,and open it during the voiding phase;3 could not close it well during the storage and interrupted voiding phases.Conclusion MRI and VCUG clearly demonstrate that the BWN technique can successfully create a new urethra with good functionality,which helps improve urinary control after RALP for prostate cancer.

The acupoint sensitization theory,a breakthrough in acupuncture and moxibustion over the past two decades,has greatly enhanced the understanding of meridians and acupoints while increasing the effectiveness of clinical diagnosis and treatment in acupuncture and moxibustion practices.The number of studies on surface sensitization site detection for different diseases is increasing.However,systematic sorting and a summary of the detection mode of surface sensitization points are lacking.Therefore,this study categorizes the method of surface sensitization point detection into two modes:pan-scanning and focused scanning.The classification is based on the characteristics of the openness of the research purpose,the precision of the target range,and the degree of variation during detection.The two modes have considerable differences in the exploration efficiency and the presentation of result.The pan-scanning mode can be further subdivided into holistic and localized pan-scanning modes,whereas the focused-scanning mode can be subdivided into fixed-and variable-focused scanning modes.This study analyzes the application scenarios,characteristics,advantages,and limitations of each detection mode and presents opinions on mode selection,mode innovation,and future development directions.This study aims to provide valuable insights and guidance for the follow-up research on surface sensitization site detection of various diseases.

Chemical cleaning and disinfection are crucial steps for eliminating infection in root canal treatment.However,irrigant selection or irrigation procedures are far from clear.The vapor lock effect in the apical region has yet to be solved,impeding irrigation efficacy and resulting in residual infections and compromised treatment outcomes.Additionally,ambiguous clinical indications for root canal medication and non-standardized dressing protocols must be clarified.Inappropriate intracanal medication may present side effects and jeopardize the therapeutic outcomes.Indeed,clinicians have been aware of these concerns for years.Based on the current evidence of studies,this article reviews the properties of various irrigants and intracanal medicaments and elucidates their effectiveness and interactions.The evolution of different kinetic irrigation methods,their effects,limitations,the paradigm shift,current indications,and effective operational procedures regarding intracanal medication are also discussed.This expert consensus aims to establish the clinical operation guidelines for root canal irrigation and a position statement on intracanal medication,thus facilitating a better understanding of infection control,standardizing clinical practice,and ultimately improving the success of endodontic therapy.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of pregnancy outcome after re-pregnancy in patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion based on ultrasound endometrial receptability parameters and lymphocyte immunophenotype.Methods A total of 166 re-pregnant patients with unexplained recurrent spon-taneous abortion admitted to Nantong Maternal and Child Health Hospital from April to August 2022 were included in the study.According to the pregnancy outcome,the patients were divided into the delivery group and the abortion group.The endometrial receptability parameters and peripheral blood T lymphocytes were detected to screen the influencing factors of abortion.Results Among 166 patients,102 cases(61.45%)had successful delivery and 64 cases(38.55%)had abortion again.The delivery group showed thicker endometrial thickness,larger endometrial volume,and higher VFI,but lower CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ compared to the abortion group(P<0.05).CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ were observed to be the risk factors for pregnancy failure(P<0.05),and endometrial thickness,endo-metrial volume,and vascularized flow index(VFI)were found to be the protective factors for pregnancy failure(P<0.05).Conclusion The pregnancy outcome of patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion is related to endometrial thickness,endometrial volume,VFI,CD4+,and CD4+/CD8+.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients undergoing thoracic tumor radiotherapy, preliminarily evaluate the nutritional risk of patients, and analyze the possible influential factors of anxiety and depression and their correlation with nutritional risk, providing a theoretical basis for further formulating a personalized psychological nursing plan for patients undergoing thoracic tumor radiotherapy.Methods:A total of 121 patients who underwent thoracic tumor radiotherapy between April 2019 and March 2020 in Cancer Hospital of The University of Chinese Academy of Sciences were selected for this study. We evaluated patients' psychological statuses using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and patients' nutritional risk using the Nutrition Risk Screening. We performed univariate analysis, unconditional logistic regression analysis, and contingency analysis to analyze the factors that affected the psychological status of patients undergoing thoracic tumor radiotherapy and correlate patients' psychological status with nutritional risk.Results:Among 121 patients, 99 (81.8%) patients undergoing thoracic tumor radiotherapy would develop or had developed anxiety, and 42 (34.7%) patients were at the boundary of depression or had depression. Correlation analysis revealed that nutritional risk was correlated with the prevalence of anxiety and depression. Logistic regression analysis showed that surgery, first radiotherapy, and nutritional risk were the factors that affected the prevalence of anxiety. Marital status, location of tumors, surgery, first radiotherapy, and nutritional risk affected the prevalence of depression.Conclusion:Patients undergoing thoracic tumor radiotherapy have serious psychological problems. Nutritional risk is positively correlated with the prevalence of anxiety and depression. Surgery and first radiotherapy are the factors that affect the prevalence of anxiety and depression.
