Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV), constitutes a significant public health issue, with approximately 254 million individuals affected globally, of which 75 million are in China. HBV infection not only severely impacts individual health, leading to conditions such as liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver failure, but also imposes considerable economic burdens on society. This review provides an overview of the current epidemiological characteristics and disease burden of CHB, along with the progress towards, and challenges faced in achieving the World Health Organization's (WHO) goal of eliminating viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030. It delves into strategies aimed at reducing new infections, enhancing diagnosis rates, and improving treatment coverage. These strategies include universal screening, expanding the scope of antiviral therapy, and implementing specific measures for treating patients with end-stage liver disease. The review underscores critical actions necessary to accelerate the elimination of hepatitis B-related harms, proposing an integrated control and prevention strategy that incorporates new technologies and approaches. Achieving WHO's 2030 target requires concerted efforts from governments, healthcare institutions, and the broader community, alongside active public participation and support.

Objective To explore the psychological feelings and coping resources of patients waiting for a liver transplantation,in order to provide references for implementing psychological nursing care.Methods Using purposive sampling,15 patients waiting liver transplantation surgery from June to November 2024 at a tertiary hospital in Qingdao were selected as study subjects.Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted,and data were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis to extract themes.Results The psychological feelings of patients waiting for a liver transplantation included 2 main themes with 6 sub-themes,namely,the complex and contradictory psychological feelings of liver transplant patients during the waiting period(expectations for transplanta-tion and future outlook,multiple psychological burdens intertwining,introspection and growth),and mobilizing psychological resilience resources to deal with complex psychological feelings(core resources,internal resources,external resources).Conclusion Clinical medical staff should implement psychological care for patients waiting for a liver transplantation based on the complex and contradictory psychological feelings they experience.Also,they should target the coping resources for psychological feelings to construct coping strategies,thereby comprehensively improving patients' psychological health during the waiting period.The coping strategies include promoting patients' health behaviors,improving their psychological status,and providing multidimensional social support for them.

Objective:To validate the performance of a multi-omics combined test for early screening of high-risk liver cancer populations.Methods:173 high-risk patients with liver cancer were prospectively screened in a real-world setting, and 164 cases were finally enrolled. B-ultrasound, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), and HCC screens were conducted in all patients. A multi-omics early screening test was performed for liver cancer in combination with multi-gene methylation, TP53/TERT/CTNNB1 mutations, AFP, and abnormal prothrombin (PIVKA-II). Differences in rates were compared using the chi-square test, adjusted chi-square test, or Fisher's exact probability method for count data. A non-parametric rank test (Mann-Whitney) was used to compare the differences between the two groups of data.Results:The HCCscreen detection had a sensitivity of 100% for liver cancer screening, 93.8% for liver cancer and precancerous diseases, 34.1% for positive predictive value, 99.2% for negative predictive value, and 0.89 for an area under the curve (AUC). Parallel detection of AFP, AFP+B-ultrasound, and methylation+mutation had a sensitivity/specificity and AUC of 31.3%/88.5% (AUC=0.78), 56.3%/88.2% (AUC=0.86), and 81.3%/82.4 % (AUC=0.84). At the same time, the disease severity range was significantly correlated with the methylation+mutation score, HCCscreen score, or positive detection rate (PDR). There was no significant correlation between AFP serum levels and methylation+mutation or HCCscreen scores, while there was a significant linear correlation between methylation+mutation scores and HCCscreen scores ( r ?=?0.73, P ?

Objective To investigate the satisfaction degree among medical interns with the effect of infectious diseases online teaching.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 172 interns from a 5-year clinical medicine program who were doing internship with infectious diseases in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University in the spring and fall semesters of 2022.The survey aimed to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of online teaching for medical interns com-pared with traditional offline teaching.Results In terms of the advantages,online internship online teaching saved commuting time among 95.4％(164/172)of the students,enhanced self-management ability among 41.9％(72/172)of the students,en-riched teaching elements among 71.5％(123/172),promoted reviewing and consolidation of clinical knowledge among 38.4％(66/172)of the students.As regarding the disadvantages,online internship decreased clinical situational experience among 83.7％(144/172)students,reduced teaching-student interactions among 76.2％(131/172)of the students,decreased learn-ing efficiency among 51.7％(89/172)of the students and lowered quality of learning among 59.3％(102/172)of the students due to frequent network inefficiency.For prospection,37.8％(65/172)of the students expressed their wish to resume the tradi-tional offline teaching model continue and 57.6％(99/172)of them suggested that the combination of online and offline teaching mode should be adopt.Conclusion The inevitability and possibility of online internship of infectious diseases are gradually in-creasing.Compared with offline internships in infectious disease,students welcome a hybrid model of internships that combines online and offline models.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which are thought to regulate articular cartilage through endochondral osteogenesis, consist of mRNA-interfering complementary RNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA). More and more experimental evidence reveals the role of ncRNAs in chondrocyte differentiation and the pathogenesis of several skeletal diseases, including osteoarthritis. In the past few years, increasingly sophisticated DNA sequencing methods and a large number of sepigenetic modifications have greatly contributed to our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of osteoarthritis. Recent studies have revealed that RNA interacts with RNA-binding proteins, regulates gene transcription and protein translation, and is involved in various pathological processes in OA, promising to be a therapeutic target for osteoarthritis.

Objective:To develop and evaluate the reliability and validity of risk behavior scale for in-home unintentional injury in urban children aged 0-6 years in China.Methods:Through literature review, expert consultation and pre-survey, the final scale was determined with 10 dimensions and 54 items. A total of 1 104 children aged 0-6 years were randomly selected by using multi-stage stratified cluster sampling in the urban area of Changsha and their guardians were invited to participate in this questionnaire survey. The information about the basic characteristics, incidence of unintentional injury and risk behaviors of the children were collected. Cronbach's α coefficient and split-half reliability were used to evaluate the reliability of the scale. Pearson correlation coefficient, Spearman correlation coefficient and factor analysis were used to evaluate the content validity and structural validity of the scale respectively. The children were divided into two groups according to the incidence of unintentional injury, and t-test was used to analyze the discriminant validity of the scale. Results:The children risk behavior scale had 54 items in 10 dimensions. A total of 1 094 valid questionnaires were returned and the effective response rate was 99.09%. The incidence of unintentional injury in the children was 18.65% (204/1 104). The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.94, and the split-half reliability was 0.87. The Pearson correlation coefficients between each dimension and the total scale were 0.50-0.84 (all P<0.001). A total of 11 common factors were extracted from the total scale, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 56.52%. The average factor load of 54 items was more than 0.30. The fitting indexes of the scale were 0.06 for root mean square error of approximation, 0.78 for comparative fit index, 0.79 for goodness-of-fit index, and 0.77 for adjusted goodness-of-fit index. The children with injuries had higher scores than those without injuries, the difference was significant ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The scale developed has good reliability and validity on assessing the risk behaviors of unintentional injury in urban children in China.
