ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between the occurrence of cardiovascular events in rheumatoid arthritis(RA) and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome. MethodsThe cross-sectional study selected 6713 RA patients from 122 centres nationwide, in which general information such as name, gender, age, height, body weight, and course of disease were collected by completing a questionnaire; patients were classified into eight types of syndrome according to the information of their four examinations,i.e. wind-dampness obstruction syndrome, cold-dampness obstruction syndrome, dampness-heat obstruction syndrome, phlegm-stasis obstruction syndrome, stasis-blood obstructing collateral syndrome, qi-blood deficiency syndrome, liver-kidney insufficiency syndrome, and qi-yin deficiency syndrome. According to the occurrence of cardiovascular events, they were divided into the occurrence group and the non-occurrence group, and the condition assessment data and laboratory examination indexes were recorded. The test of difference between groups was used to analyse the possible risk factors for the occurrence of RA cardiovascular events, and binary logistic regression was used to analyse the correlation between TCM syndromes and RA cardiovascular events. ResultsA total of 6713 RA patients were included, including 256 cases in occurrence group and 6457 in non-occurrence group. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of height, gender, insomnia, appetite, white blood cell(WBC), hemoglobin(HGB), platelets(PLT), rheumatoid factor(RF), anti-cyclic peptide containing citrulline(CCP), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT), urea creatinine(CREA), and glucose(GLU)(P>0.05). The TCM syndromes between groups showed significant statistic differences(P<0.05). Patients in occurrence group had longer disease duration, heavier body weight, and older age; more severe conditions such as disease activity(DAS-28), number of painful joints(TJC), number of swollen joints(SJC), health questionnaire scores(HAQ), visual analog scores(VAS), restlessness, and fatigue; higher blood sedimentation rate(ESR), low-density lipoprotein(LDL-C), triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol(TC), D-Dimer, and lower high-density lipoprotein(HDL-C)(P<0.05). The distribution of syndrome types showed that dampness-heat obstruction syndrome accounted for the largest proportion of patients in both groups and was higher in RA cardiovascular events. Logistic regression analysis showed that the occurrence of RA cardiovascular events was strongly associated with dampness-heat obstruction syndrome[OR=5.937, 95%CI (4.434, 7.949), P<0.001]. ConclusionThe occurrence of RA cardiovascular events were associated with TCM syndromes, and the probability of cardiovascular events in the RA patients with dampness-heat obstruction syndrome was 5.937 times higher than patients with other TCM syndromes.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the employment status of college graduates majoring in health service and management in China.Methods:From April 2023 to June 2024, a cross-sectional survey was conducted on undergraduate graduates majoring in health service and management from 34 universities in China using convenient sampling method. General information was collected (such as gender, household registration at graduation, only child status, average monthly family income, previous experience as a student cadre, average grade point, part-time job experience, entrepreneurial experience, whether a first batch graduate of the university and the major, self-assessment of professional competence level) alongside employment status. Statistical descriptive analysis was employed to analyze the graduates′ basic employment situation, job competence and professional skill demand, types of certificates valued by employers, factors influencing job selection, evaluation of work and profession, and perceptions of professional employment prospects. A total of 1 417 questionnaires were collected in this study, with 1 315 valid responses (92.8%). Chi-square tests were used to compare employment differences among various factors, and binary logistic regression was used to analyze factors influencing employment outcomes.Results:Among 564 employed graduates in the Health Services and Management field, 98 (17.4%) work in health management companies and 97 (17.2%) in hospitals. Regarding important job competencies, 413 (73.2%), 409 (72.5%), and 364 (64.5%) respectively emphasized the importance of information collection and statistical analysis, organizational coordination, and communication skills. Key professional skills highly valued by employers included health risk assessment 175 (66.3%), health measurement 160 (60.6%), and health education and promotion 152 (57.6%). Additionally, 281 (49.8%) highlighted the importance of Health Management Professional Qualification Certificates. Factors influencing job choices included salary and benefits 454 (80.5%) and personal interests and hobbies 279 (49.5%). While 397 (70.4%) of the graduates provided positive feedback on their profession, only 274 (48.6%) were optimistic about their future job prospects. Binary logistic regression analysis indicated significant correlations (all P<0.05) between employment outcomes and factors such as part-time work experience ( OR=1.31) and average grade point ( OR=0.61, 0.68). Conclusions:The employment rate of undergraduate graduates majoring in health service and management in China is low in the health service market, with a low degree of job specialization matching. Graduates are not optimistic about the future employment prospects in their field, possibly due to unclear positioning in talent cultivation in universities and an imperfect job market.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of using two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) based liver and spleen elastic hardness (L/S-SWE) in patients with liver cirrhosis, and to determine the exclusion and diagnostic thresholds for early identification of liver cirrhosis.Methods:A total of 574 patients with chronic hepatitis B (hepatitis B for short) were included in this study. The clinical characteristics, L-SWE and S-SWE of the patients were collected, and the differences between cirrhosis group ( n=311) and non cirrhosis group ( n=263) were analyzed. The success rate and stability of liver and spleen elastic surgery were evaluated in two groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the efficacy of L-SWE, S-SWE, aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) alone and in combination in diagnosing liver cirrhosis. By analyzing the ROC curve, the double threshold for excluding and diagnosing liver cirrhosis was determined. Results:There was a statistically significant difference in platelet count and APRI between the cirrhosis group and the non cirrhosis group (all P<0.05). In the feasibility assessment of 2D-SWE technology, the success rate and stability of liver and spleen elastic operation were relatively high (success rate: 97.2% vs 81.3%; stability: 0.92 vs 0.84), and the success rate and stability of L-SWE operation were slightly better than S-SWE. The success rate of S-SWE operation in the cirrhosis group was higher than that in the non cirrhosis group ( P<0.05). The correlation analysis results showed that L-SWE, S-SWE, APRI were positively correlated with liver tissue pathological grading ( r=0.677, 0.528, 0.149, all P<0.05). The areas under the ROC curve for identifying liver cirrhosis using L-SWE, S-SWE, and APRI were 0.959, 0.896, and 0.706, respectively. When L-SWE and S-SWE were combined, the area under the ROC curve was 0.987, the sensitivity was 92.6%, and the specificity was 96.0%. The Delong test showed that the combined diagnosis of L-SWE and S-SWE had the same diagnostic efficacy as using L-SWE alone for liver cirrhosis ( P>0.05). Further analysis of the ROC curve showed that the likelihood of liver cirrhosis was low when L-SWE was less than 9.4 kPa, and high when L-SWE was greater than 12.0 kPa. Patients between 9.4 and 12.0 kPa can undergo further S-SWE testing; If the S-SWE was between 17.5 and 29.3 kPa, it was classified as 2D-SWE, which was difficult to determine whether there was liver cirrhosis, and further liver puncture and other examinations were needed. Conclusions:2D-SWE technology has high operational feasibility in the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis, and combined with S-SWE, it helps to improve the diagnostic efficiency of early non-invasive identification of liver cirrhosis, enabling more patients to avoid unnecessary liver puncture examinations.
