The exploratory analysis extracted three metric factors, with a contribution ratio of 69.07% to the accumulated variance. The mean scale component effectiveness was 0.94, and the coefficient of association between the respective dimensions and the scale ranged from 0.80 to 0.91.The overall Cronbach α coefficient for the scale was 0.95, the folded half reliability was 0.87, and the retest reliability was 0.98. Conclusion The Family-School-Community Cooperation Dilemma Scale for Nutritional Education in Primary School Students has good reliability and validity, and can be used to measure the degree of the family-school-community cooperation dilemma regarding nutritional education in primary school students.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.

The regulatory role of pericoronary adipose tissue(PC AT)in cardiovascular diseases is of paramount im-portance.PCAT exerts extensive pathophysiological effects on the cardiovascular system by secreting various bioactive substances,such as adipokines and cytokines.Currently,the attenuation value of PCAT can be detected via coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA),a method that not only reflects the level of vascular inflammation but also holds significant clinical value in the detection and prognostic assessment of coronary heart disease plaques.Therefore,this article reviews the pathophysiological mechanisms of PCAT and its clinical significance in coronary heart disease.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of self-management ability of coronary heart disease patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and construct a nomogram model. Methods A total of 247 CHD patients who underwent PCI were selected as the research subjects, and all of them were evaluated by Coronary Heart Disease Self-management Scale (CSMS). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen out the independent influencing factors of self-management ability of CHD patientsafter PCI, and R software was used to construct a nomogram model. The discrimination, calibration, and goodness-of-fit of the nomogram model were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test. Results The average CSMS score of 247 patients was (86.79±9.22), and these patients were divided into low-score group(89 patients) and high-score group (158 patients)based on the critical value of 86.79 points. There were significant differences in age, education level, monthly per capita family income, and self-efficacy between the low-score group and the high-score group (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, education level, monthly per capita family income, and self-efficacy were independent influencing factors of self-management ability of CHD patients after PCI (P < 0.05). The nomogram model constructed based on the four influencing factors found that age >70 years increased the weight by 86.2 points, education level below high school increased the weight by 87.4 points, monthly per capita family income < 3 500 yuan increased the weight by 82.3 points, and low self-efficacy increased the weight by 99.6 points. The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of the nomogram model for predicting self-management ability ofCHD patients after PCI was 0.842 (95%CI, 0.794 to 0.890). The slope of the calibration curve was close to 1, and the results of goodness-of-fit test was as follows: χ²=10.226, P=0.233. Conclusion Age, education level, monthly per capita family income, and self-efficacy are influencing factors of self-management ability of CHD patients after PCI, and the nomogram model constructed based on these factors has high predictive value for self-management ability.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the economics of utidelone combined with capecitabine compared with capecitabine in the second-line treatment of metastatic breast cancer from the perspective of Chinese health-care system. METHODS A partitioned survival model was established using clinical trial data and relevant literature data, with the cycle of 3 weeks and the time horizon of 15 years. Cost and utility data were discounted using a discount rate of 5%. The model output was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER), and the willingness-to-pay threshold(WTP) was set to 1-3 times per capita gross domestic product(GDP) in China in 2021(80 976 yuan/QALY-242 928 yuan/QALY). One-way sensitivity analyses and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the stability of model results when the model parameters were changed. RESULTS The results of base-case analysis showed that utidelone combined with capecitabine was a high-cost and high-health benefit regimen, and the ICER was 393 949.83 yuan/QALY. One-way sensitivity analyses showed that the price of utidelone was the most influential factor of the ICER, and the probabilistic sensitivity analyses showed that the model results were robustness. CONCLUSION Utidelone combined with capecitabine has no economic advantage compared with capecitabine alone in the second-line treatment of metastatic breast cancer, but in areas with per capita GDP of more than 131 316 yuan, utidelone combined with capecitabine can be considered the cost-effective regimen.
