Objective: To analyze the disease burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and changes in its risk factors among residents in Zhejiang Province from 1990 to 2021, so as to identify key priorities for COPD prevention and control. Methods: Data on COPD mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) for residents in Zhejiang Province from 1990 to 2021 were collected from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database. Standardized mortality and standardized DALY rate were calculated using the GBD 2021 world population standard structure. Premature mortality was computed via the life table method. The average annual percent change (AAPC) was applied to analyze trends in COPD mortality, DALY rate, and premature mortality. Changes in deaths of COPD risk factors were evaluated using population attributable fraction (PAF). Results: From 1990 to 2021, the standardized COPD mortality in Zhejiang Province decreased from 272.40/100 000 to 70.56/100 000 (AAPC=-4.395%), and the standardized DALY rate declined from 4 167.37/100 000 to 1 071.89/100 000 (AAPC=-4.396%). Similar downward trends were observed in both males (AAPC=-3.933%, -4.173%) and females (AAPC=-4.785%, -4.480%), all P<0.05. Crude mortality and DALY rates increased with age, and the crude mortality and DALY rates of various age groups in Zhejiang Province showed decreasing trends from 1990 to 2021 (all P<0.05). The premature mortality declined from 4.37% to 0.60% from 1990 to 2021 (AAPC=- 6.206%), with consistent trends across males and females (AAPC=- 6.144%, - 6.379%, all P<0.05). From 1990 to 2021, particulate matter pollution showed the largest reduction in PAF (- 56.76%), while ambient ozone pollution had the largest increase (103.07%) in Zhejiang Province. By 2021, smoking became the leading risk factor for deaths of COPD (PAF=43.32%). Conclusions The standardized mortality, standardized DALY rate, and premature mortality for COPD show consistent declining trends in Zhejiang Province from 1990 to 2021. However, risk factors such as smoking and ambient ozone pollution require intensified focus to further reduce disease burden of COPD.

Objective To provide reference for the subsequent clinical application of WBV,based on the impacts of whole body vibration(WBV)with different frequencies on gross motor function and walking function in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy.Methods 60 children aged 6～12 with dyskinetic cerebral palsy,who had been treated at the department of rehabilitation medicine in the Affiliated Southwest Medical University from October 2021 to November 2022,were selected.They were randomly divided into a control group(n = 20),(25±5)Hz group(n = 20),and(35±5)Hz group(n = 20).All the three groups received conventional rehabilitation,while the(25±5)Hz group received additional WBV with(25±5)Hz and the(35±5)Hz group received WBV with(35±5)Hz.They were treated for eight weeks.The scores on D and E domains of GMFM-88,TUGT,the score on Berg Balance Scale,and footprint analysis were used for assessment of the efficacy after treatment.Results As compared with the baselines,the scores were improved in the three groups after treatment(P＜0.001).BBS(F = 12.502),TUGT(F = 8.211),scores on D and E domains of GMFM-88(F = 12.802 and 8.505),stride length(F = 12.279),1MWT distance(F = 12.619),and step width(F = 13.582)were better in the(35±5)Hz group than in the(25±5)Hz group and the control group(P＜0.05 and P＜0.01);and the efficacy was better in the(25±5)Hz group than in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05 and P＜0.01).Conclusion WBV can improve trunk control,lower limb gross motor function,and walking function in children with involuntary motor type cerebral palsy.(35±5)Hz is better than(25±5)Hz for the efficacy of WBV.

AIM: To compare the efficacy of intravitreal injection of ranibizumab(IVR)and intravitreal injection of conbercept(IVC)in children with retinopathy of prematurity(ROP).METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 1 100 eyes with ROP treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF at our hospital from January 2015 to June 2023 were included. According to the different therapeutic drugs, the children were divided into two groups: IVR group and IVC group. According to the degree of ROP, the patients were divided into three groups: aggressive ROP(A-ROP), Zone Ⅰ type 1 ROP and Zone Ⅱ type 1 ROP. The reactivation and retreatment between the two groups were compared after propensity score matching(PSM)analysis, and they were followed-up for at least 3 mo after surgery.RESULTS: In Zone Ⅱ type 1 ROP, there was a statistically significant difference in the rates of reactivation and retreatment between the IVR and IVC groups(P<0.05); however, in A-ROP and Zone I type 1 ROP, there were no statistically significant differences in the rates of reactivation and retreatment between the two groups(P>0.05). The risk of reactivation and retreatment of Zone I type 1 ROP was higher than the Zone II type 1 ROP. Furthermore, the use of drugs and corrected gestational age of first treatment were influencing factors of lesion recurrence and retreatment.CONCLUSION: There is a significant difference in the initial cure effect between the two drugs in Zone II type 1 ROP, with the reactivation and retreatment rates of the IVC group being much lower than those of the IVR group.

Objective: To analyze the disease burden and risk factors of colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province from 1990 to 2019, so as to provide the basis for prevention and control of colorectal cancer. Methods: Based on data of 2019 Global Burden of Disease (GDB 2019), disease burden and risk factors of colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province from 1990 to 2019 was assessed using years of life lost (YLL), years lived with disability (YLD), disability-adjusted life years (DALY). Results: In 2019, the YLL rate, YLD rate and DALY rate caused by colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province were 496.15/105, 31.81/105 and 527.96/105, respectively. From 1990 to 2019, the YLL rate, YLD rate and DALY rate caused by colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province increased by 114.90%, 482.60% and 123.38%, respectively, showing increasing trends (average annual percent change values were =2.663, 6.283 and 2.800, respectively,all P<0.05). From 1990 to 2019, the YLL rate, YLD rate and DALY rate in the age groups of 15 to 49 years, 50 to 69 years and 70 years and older showed increasing trends (all P<0.05). In 1990, the top ten risk factors for colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province were diet low in calcium, diet low in milk, diet low in whole grains, smoking, alcohol use, low physical activity, high fasting plasma glucose, diet high in red meat, diet low in fiber and high body mass index. In 2019, the top ten risk factors for colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province were diet low in milk, diet low in whole grains, diet low in calcium, alcohol use, diet high in red meat, high body mass index, high fasting plasma glucose, low physical activity, diet low in fiber and diet high in processed meat. Conclusions The disease burden of colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province showed an upward trend from 1990 to 2019. The top ten risk factors for colorectal cancer remained between 1990 and 2019, while there was a slight change in ranking.

Objective sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on outpatients in two hospitals in Guangdong province in order to evaluate patients’ satisfaction with the quality of medical service. This paper explored the factors that affect patients’ evaluation of medical service quality, and found that patients’ age was negatively correlated with the evaluation of medical service quality. It is suggested that the establishment of friendly medical institutions should be carried out according to the national policy. At the same time, the management mechanism of hospital should be improved, the number of medical service centers for "efficient" should be increased, and the medical service personnel should be regularly trained; carry out medical knowledge education in community, improve the popularization of personal medical knowledge and close the cognitive gap between doctors and patients.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of metabolic syndrome(MetS) among adult residents in Zhejiang Province and compare three diagnostic criteria in adult residents.Methods:In this cross-sectisnal study participants were randomly chosen using multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method from 10 national chronic disease risk factor monitoring sites in Zhejiang Province of the 2018 China Chronic Disease and Risk Factors Surveillance Project. Demographics and information on chronic disease prevalence were obtained through questionnaire, physical measurements, and laboratory. After complex weighting of the data, an analysis and comparison of the prevalence of MetS under different diagnostic criteria among adult residents in Zhejiang Province was conducted.Results:A total of 5 369 adult residents were included, 2 411 males and 2 958 females. The prevalence of MetS using JIS, CDS and IDF diagnostic criteria was 33.62%, 25.32%, and 24.25%, respectively. The consistency rate between IDF and JIS was the highest(89.11%) and the Kappa value was 0.768( P<0.001). The consistency rate between IDF and CDS diagnostic criteria was 84.53%, and the Kappa value was 0.631( P<0.001). The consistency rate between JIS and CDS was the lowest(83.17%), and the Kappa value was 0.621( P<0.001). Under CDS diagnostic criteria, the prevalence of MetS was associated to gender, marital status, smoking and drinking. Conclusion:The prevalence of MetS is at a relatively high level among adult residents in Zhejiang province. The consistency between IDF and JIS diagnostic criteria is the highest. Screening for MetS should be strengthened to detect high-risk individuals early, reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes, and improve the quality of life of residents.

Objective:To understand the prevalence of insufficient physical activity among adults aged ≥18 years in China and to explore the influencing factors.Methods:The China Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance was conducted in 298 counties/districts in China in 2018, covering 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities). A multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select permanent residents aged ≥18 years. A questionnaire including Global Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to collect information about the participants' demographic characteristics and physical activity through face-to-face interview. A total of 183 769 participants completed the survey. After complex data weighting, the prevalence of insufficient physical activity, occupation, transportation, and leisure-time physical activity time was analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the influencing factors related to insufficient physical activity.Results:The prevalence of insufficient physical activity among adults aged ≥18 years was 22.3% (95% CI: 20.9%-23.7%) in China in 2018, with males [24.4% (95% CI: 23.0%-25.8%)] significantly higher than females [20.2% (95% CI: 18.6%-21.8%)]. Adults aged 70 years and above [28.4% (95% CI: 26.9%-29.9%)] were significantly higher than adults in other age groups, followed by adults aged 18-29 years [26.4% (95% CI: 24.4%- 28.3%)] and 30-39 years [23.4% (95% CI: 21.5%-25.3%)], and tended to increase with increasing education and total sedentary behavior time ( P<0.001). The weekly occupation, transportation, and leisure-time physical activity time appeared 958.6 (95% CI: 911.4-1 005.8) minutes, 234.5 (95% CI: 224.7- 244.2) minutes, and 88.6 (95% CI: 83.5-93.7) minutes, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that males, adults living in rural areas or northern China, ≥70 years, with junior high school education, an annual household income per capita <6 000 yuan and institutional/clerical/ technical occupation and longer total sedentary behavior time were related to a higher prevalence of insufficient physical activity. Conclusions:In China, over one-fifth of the adults had lower physical activity levels. Adults who are male, young adults, more educated, institutional/clerical/technical occupation, and with more extended total sedentary behavior are the populations that need to be focused on to promote physical activity-related health.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological patterns of comorbidity of anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms among middle and high school students in Zhejiang Province and to provide evidence for making strategy and evaluation of intervention.Methods:Through a multi-stage sampling design, 28 043 students from 376 schools in 30 counties/districts were recruited and surveyed using anonymous self-administered questionnaires in classrooms under the supervision of trained staff between April and June 2022. Anxiety symptoms were assessed using generalized Anxiety Disorders 7-Item Scale, and depression symptoms were assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire 9-Item Depression Scale. A total of 27 004 students were included in the final analysis.Results:The overall prevalence of comorbidity of anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms was 11.54% (95% CI: 10.90%-12.19%), higher among girls (15.42%, 95% CI: 14.47%- 16.38%) than boys (8.05%, 95% CI: 7.43%-8.67%) ( P<0.001), higher among students living in rural areas (12.35%, 95% CI: 11.49%-13.22%) than those in urban areas (10.06%, 95% CI: 9.27%-10.86%) ( P<0.001). The prevalence of comorbidity of students attending middle school, academic high school, and vocational high school was 11.73% (95% CI: 10.82%-12.64%), 12.49% (95% CI: 11.20%- 13.79%), and 9.98% (95% CI: 8.68%-11.27%), respectively ( P=0.025). The prevalence of comorbidity was higher among students in divorced/widow/separated families (16.64%, 95% CI: 14.86%-18.43%) than those in intact families (10.82%, 95% CI: 10.14%-11.50%) ( P<0.001). The wealthier the families, the lower the prevalence of comorbidity ( P<0.001). The prevalence of comorbidity was higher among cigarettes smokers in the past 30 days (21.70%,95% CI: 18.24%- 25.16%) than non-smokers (11.13%, 95% CI: 10.51%-11.76%), higher among alcohol drinkers in the past 30 days (19.36%, 95% CI: 17.58%-21.14%) than non-drinkers (10.05%, 95% CI: 9.43%- 10.68%), higher among students engaging in physical fight in the past 12 months (18.42%, 95% CI: 16.75%-20.09%) than those without physical fight (10.45%, 95% CI: 9.81%-11.10%). The more frequently students engaged in physical exercise, the lower the prevalence of comorbidity ( P<0.001). The poorer the academic performance self-reported, the higher the prevalence of comorbidity ( P<0.001). Conclusion:More than one-tenth of middle and high school students in Zhejiang Province have comorbidity of anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms, and more attention should be paid to adolescent mental health.

Objective To investigate the cognition of colorectal cancer-related knowledge and influencing factors of patients with middle- and advanced-stage colorectal cancer in ethnic minority areas of Inner Mongolia. Methods According to the national population and the prevalence of colorectal cancer, 277 patients with colorectal cancer were selected by stratified and random sampling in Inner Mongolia. The patients were surveyed in Baotou, Chifeng, Bayannaoer, and other hospitals. The questionnaire included patients' basic information, cognition of colorectal cancer risk factors and screening knowledge, screening information, etc. Results Before suffering from the disease, the patients' knowledge of colorectal cancer (risk factors, early screening knowledge, treatment methods) was low. About 54.9% of patients were unaware of high risk factors for colorectal cancer, 75.8% of patients did not understand the knowledge of early screening of colorectal cancer, and 37.5% of patients did not underst and the treatment of colorectal cancer. The main influencing factors of colorectal cancer cognition were education level and occupation. Patients who work in institutions and enterprises and with higher education level had better cognition. Conclusion Patients with middle- and advanced-stage colorectal cancer in Inner Mongolia have poor knowledge and awareness of risk factors and screening of colorectal cancer before diagnosis. Education level and occupation are factors influencing colorectal cancer cognition, therefore, people with low knowledge rate of colorectal cancer and low education level as well as unemployed laid-off people should be given priority intervention.

Objective To design and verify the reliability of a shoelace tensile test system. Methods Incremental loads of 0-196 N were applied to three tension sensors, each load was repeated nine times, with the load removed and interval of 30 s during the repeated tests. Then output voltage of the sensors under each load was collected. Linear regression analysis was used to explore linear relationship between the collected voltage signal and the incremental load. Accuracy, precision and consistency intervals were used to verify consistency of the measured values with the true load. Bland-Altman analysis and intra-group correlation coefficient (ICC) analysis were used to verify the repeatability and reliability of the tensile sensor. Results There was a significant linear correlation between output voltage signal of the sensors and the load (P< 0. 000 1, R2= 0. 999 9), and ICC of three sensors was above 0. 999 (P<0. 000 1). The mean values of the coefficients of variation of the measured values for three tensile sensors under different loads were 0. 003 8, 0. 002 2 and 0. 003 5, respectively. Conclusions The shoelace tensile test system has high reliability and can be used for real-time acquisition of shoelace tension.
