Implementation science (IS) aims to systematically analyze and address the real-world gaps from evidence to practice and the influencing factors of the context. It is necessary to carry out qualitative research to gather relevant implementation outcomes. Nevertheless, traditional qualitative analysis has issues such as consuming a great deal of time and energy, and it is unable to promptly provide the crucial data required for implementation science research. The Rapid Qualitative Analysis (RQA) method, through semi-structured interviews and the adoption of techniques such as immediate data condensation and matrix analysis, can effectively shorten the cycle of qualitative data collection and data processing. RQA can promptly identify social determinants of health such as structural barriers, facilitators, and the behavioral characteristics of target groups. It provides a real-time basis for public health decision-making, the interpretation of complex social phenomena, and the process and effectiveness evaluation of research projects. Although RQA is difficult to conduct in-depth theoretical analysis based on grounded theory, its efficiency and flexibility make it the preferred tool for large-scale and time-sensitive research. Thus, it has been widely applied in implementation science research. This paper sorts out the core concepts and commonly used technical methods of RQA, as well as the differences between RQA and traditional qualitative analysis. It also explores the applications of RQA in intervention optimization, process evaluation, and implementation outcome evaluation. By integrating specific cases, this paper clarifies its application value in the field of implementation science. In the future, it is advisable to explore the integration of RQA with technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, in order to bridge the gap between the transformation of scientific research achievements into practice. Under circumstances of limited resources or tight time constraints, RQA can be used to efficiently conduct implementation science research, providing convenient and scientific methodological and technical support for accelerating evidence-based practice.

Background Sunshine duration is closely associated with population mental health and emotional states, although its relationship with mental and behavioral disorders (MBD) remains insufficiently studied. Objective To analyze the effect of sunshine duration on hospital admissions for MBD in Zigong City, Sichuan Province. Methods Hospital admission records for MBD from 10 medical institutions, meteorological data, and ambient air pollutant concentrations were collected in Zigong City from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2024. A distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) was employed to calculate single-day and cumulative lag effects of different sunshine duration exposures—0 h (P₀, P₅, P₂₅), 6 h (P₇₅), and 10.4 h (P₉₅)—on hospitalization risks for MBD, stratified by diagnostic category, sex, and age groups. Results This study analyzed 36597 hospital admissions for MBD in Zigong City. The exposure-response curve for sunshine duration at lag 0 d exhibited an inverted N-shaped pattern, with minimum relative risk (RR) of hospitalizations observed at 14 h sunshine duration. The immediate effects of different levels of sunshine duration on the hospitalization risk for MBD, schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusional disorders (SSDD), and neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders (NSSD) were significant, with the cumulative effect peaking at lags 12–13 days. For extremely short sunshine duration 0 h, the maximum relative risk (RR) values (with 95% confidence intervals, 95%CI) of hospitalization risk were 1.209 (1.001, 1.459) at lag 1 d for SSDD patients and 1.398 (1.133, 1.724) at lag 0 d for NSSD patients, respectively. The cumulative effect on hospitalization risk induced by short sunshine duration 6 h was higher than that induced by extremely short sunshine duration 0 h and long sunshine duration 10.4 h. Among populations stratified by gender and age, male patients and those aged over 70 years had higher hospitalization risks. For short sunshine duration 6 h, the cumulative RR (CRR) value (95%CI) of hospitalization risk for male MBD patients was 3.373 (1.362, 8.358) at cumulative lag 0–12 d, which was higher than that for female patients [2.943 (1.471, 5.889) at cumulative lag 0–13 d]. The population aged over 70 years was more sensitive to single-day and cumulative lag effects on hospitalization risk than other age groups. For short sunshine duration 6 h, the RR and CRR values (95%CI) of single-day and cumulative lag effects on hospitalization risk were 1.336 (1.002, 1.783) at lag 0 day and 5.085 (1.680, 15.392) at cumulative lag 0–12 d, respectively. At lag 13 d, long sunshine duration 10.4 h exposure was associated with depression hospitalizations in patients <20 years with RR=1.127 (95%CI: 1.002, 1.270). Conclusion When the daily sunshine duration is less than 14 h, it will increase the hospitalization risk of MBD in the population to varying degrees, with both single-day and cumulative lag effects. It is recommended that the public, especially vulnerable groups such as people with MBD aged 70 years and above and those with depression under 20 years, strengthen health protection to reduce the health risks caused by changes in sunshine.

To understand the progress of, summarize experiences from, and analyze problems in the national schistosomiasis elimination programme, this article presented the national schistosomiasis epidemiology and surveillance in the People’s Republic of China in 2025. By the end of 2025, Shanghai Municipality, Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, Guangdong Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region maintained the achievement of schistosomiasis elimination, and 7 provinces of Jiangsu, Sichuan, Yunnan, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui and Jiangxi remained at the criteria of schistosomiasis transmission interruption. In 2025, there were 450 counties (cities, districts), 3 203 townships and 26 029 villages endemic for schistosomiasis in China, with a total population of 73.598 million in endemic villages. Among the 450 endemic counties (cities, districts), 421 (93.56%) achieved the criteria of schistosomiasis elimination and 29 (6.44%) reached the criteria of transmission interruption. In 2025, a total of 3 630 874 residents received immunological tests for schistosomiasis across endemic areas in China, with 31 588 seropositives identified (seroprevalence, 0.87%), and a total of 154 293 individuals received parasitological examinations, with 5 egg-positives detected. A total of 26 688 advanced schistosomiasis cases were recorded in China by the end of 2025. Of 529 683 bovines raised in schistosomiasis-endemic villages in China in 2025, 101 637 bovines received immunological tests for schistosomiasis, with 183 seropositives detected (seroprevalence, 0.18%), and 165 654 bovines received parasitological examinations, with no egg-positives identified. In 2025, Oncomelania hupensis snail survey was performed covering an area of 667 524.82 hm² in China, and 176 378.64 hm² O. hupensis snail habitats were identified, including 123.77 hm² emerging O. hupensis snail habitats and 953.71 hm² re-emerging O. hupensis snail habitats. A total of 19 283 schistosomiasis cases received chemotherapy with praziquantel in China in 2025, and 477 450 person-times and 304 279 herd-times received expanded chemotherapy, respectively. In addition, O. hupensis snail control with chemical treatment covered 116 475.10 hm² snail habitats across China in 2025, with an actual area with chemical control covering 68 510.93 hm² and an area with environmental improvements covering 1 101.84 hm². The national schistosomiasis surveillance results indicated that the mean prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum infections was both 0 among humans and bovines in 2025, and no S. japonicum infection was detected in O. hupensis snails. These data showed that the prevalence of schistosomiasis remained low in China in 2025; however, the area of O. hupensis snail habitats stayed high, with an increase in emerging and reemerging O. hupensis snail habitats. It is recommended to improve the surveillance and forecast mechanism for schistosomiasis and precisely implement the O. hupensis snail control programme in high-risk areas.

Objective: To investigate the health literacy level and its influencing factors among the elderly in Shunyi District, Beijing Municipality, so as to provide the evidence for developing health literacy intervention measures and improving the elderly's health literacy level. Methods: From September to November 2024, permanent residents aged ≥60 years in Shunyi District were selected by a multi-stage random sampling method combined with probability proportionate to size sampling method. The Chinese Elderly Health Literacy Questionnaire was used to conduct face-to-face surveys on basic information, health status, and health literacy. The health literacy level of the elderly was analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression model and decision tree model were used to analyze the influencing factors for health literacy level of the elderly. Results: There were 285 males (47.50%) and 315 females (52.50%). The mean age was (68.91±7.38) years. The health literacy level of the elderly was 14.33%. The literacy levels of basic concepts, basic knowledge, and basic skills were 43.33%, 5.33%, and 50.83%, respectively. The literacy levels of scientific aging concept, intrinsic capacity and geriatric syndromes, healthy lifestyle, information acquisition and self-care, health service utilization and chronic disease management, and safety and first aid were 52.33%, 7.17%, 51.83%, 58.83%, 72.00%, and 4.33%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that educational level (high school/technical secondary school/technical school and above, OR=2.376, 95%CI: 1.020-5.532), monthly household income per capita (1 000-<3 500 yuan, OR=2.973, 95%CI: 1.349-6.555), residence (urban, OR=3.836, 95%CI: 2.071-7.105), and health attention (relatively concerned, OR=4.164, 95%CI: 1.779-9.742) were influencing factors for health literacy level of the elderly. Decision tree model results showed that educational level, monthly household income per capita, residence, and health attention were influencing factors for health literacy level of the elderly, with residence being the main influencing factor. Elderly people living in urban areas, relatively concerned about health, and with high school/technical secondary school/technical school and above educational level had higher health literacy level (40.00%). Conclusions The health literacy level of the elderly in Shunyi District is mainly affected by educational level, monthly household income per capita, residence, and health attention. It is recommended to focus on rural elderly with lower educational level, monthly household income per capita, and health attention.

Objective:To explore the advantages of internet-based smart healthcare for full-cycle transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) management in reducing postoperative adverse events rate, improving cardiac function, and enhancing quality of life.Methods:This retrospective study enrolled patients with mitral regurgitation who underwent transcatheter TEER at Beijing Anzhen Hospital Valve Intervention Center between June 2021 and September 2023. Patients were classified into degeneration mitral regurgitation (DMR) and functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) according to etiology, with further stratification by enrollment period into usual care group (June 2021 to October 2022) and full-cycle management group (November 2022 to September 2023). The 1-year postoperative follow-up data were collected and compared between subgroups with the same etiology. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted, and log-rank tests were used to compare the differences in major endpoint event-free survival rates between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression and logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the impact of the full-cycle management system on patients′ outcomes.Results:A total of 130 patients were included, aged (72.0±8.6) years, including 82 (63%) males. DMR was identified in 84 cases (40 in the usual care group and 44 in the full-cycle management group), while FMR was observed in 46 cases (27 in the usual care group and 19 in the full-cycle management group). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated higher 1-year major endpoint event-free survival rates in the full-cycle management group compared to the usual care group, though the difference was not statistically significant (log-rank P>0.05). Compared to the usual care group, the full-cycle management group showed significantly higher proportions of New York Heart Association classification Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients (DMR: 67% vs. 52%, P=0.031; FMR: 68% vs. 52%, P=0.021), greater 6-minute walking distances (DMR: (346.39±70.41) m vs. (294.11±60.47) m, P=0.012; FMR: (356.60±54.68) m vs. (318.55±39.02) m, P=0.004), and superior Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire scores (DMR: 81.50 (74.50, 85.00) points vs. 71.00 (66.00, 82.25) points, P=0.014; FMR: 83.00 (76.00, 85.00) points vs. 74.00 (70.75, 80.00) points, P=0.030). Multivariate logistic regression confirmed the full-cycle management system as an independent predictor for the above improved outcomes (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Smart healthcare-based full-cycle management improves cardiac function and quality of life in mitral regurgitation patients after TEER, demonstrating lower rates of major endpoint events compared to usual care.

Objective:To investigate the uptake patterns of 18F-fluorodeoxy glucose ( 18F-FDG) in the endometrium using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and to differentiate these from stage IA endometrial cancer. Methods:From September 2022 to April 2024, a prospective inclusion of 354 women without gynecological diseases and no hormone usage who underwent 18F-FDG PET-CT examinations at the affiliated hospital of Qingdao University were set as the physiological group, while a group containing 42 cases of Stage IA endometrial carcinoma was also set. The physiological group was divided into five groups based on the menstrual cycle: menstrual period, proliferative phase, ovulatory phase, secretory phase, and menopausal phase. The images were analyzed using visual and quantitative measurements; quantitative analysis indicators were standardized uptake value maximum (SUVmax) and the region of interest/liver ratio (R/L value). Receiver operating characteristic (ROCs) curve was used to determine the optimal cutoff values for SUVmax and R/L value. A clinical model was established using binary logistic regression, and ROC curves were drawn to evaluate the predictive performance of the model. Results:The uptake of 18F-FDG in the endometrium exhibited cyclical variations throughout different physiological phases, with higher uptakes observed during the menstrual and ovulation phases (SUVmax values of 6.66±3.26 and 3.89±1.21, respectively), which are significantly higher than those in the proliferative phase [median SUVmax of 2.54 (2.02, 3.47)], secretory phase (SUVmax of 2.55±0.86), and menopausal phase [SUVmax median of 2.04 (1.69, 2.29)]. During the menstrual and ovulation phases, the radiotracer accumulation patterns were triangular in 105 cases, oval in 32 cases, and round-like in 2 cases. All 42 cases of endometrial cancer showed 18F-FDG uptake, with radiotracer accumulation patterns being round-like in 17 cases, oval in 10 cases, triangular in 9 cases, and irregular in 6 cases. There were statistically significant differences in the shapes of radiotracer concentration between the menstrual, ovulatory periods, and endometrial carcinoma (both P＜0.001). The SUVmax and R/L values in menstrual period and ovulatory period were significantly lower than that in endometrial carcinoma group ( P＜0.001). During the menstrual phase, the optimal cutoff values for SUVmax and R/L in distinguishing between endometrial and endometrial cancer were 12.59 and 3.81, respectively, with corresponding AUCs of 0.885 and 0.842. After incorporating endometrial uptake morphology into the model, the AUCs was improved to 0.969 and 0.948, respectively. During the ovulatory phase, the optimal cutoff values for SUVmax and R/L were 5.96 and 2.85, respectively, with AUCs of 0.984 and 0.968. After integrating endometrial uptake morphology into the model, the AUCs were increased to 0.999 and 0.998, respectively. Conclusions:The 18F-FDG PET imaging of the endometrium shows higher uptake during the menstrual and ovulatory periods, primarily triangular in shape; endometrial carcinoma uptake is significantly higher than the physiological uptake during the menstrual and ovulatory periods, mainly in circular, oval, and irregular shapes. When SUVmax≥5.96, R/L≥2.85, combined with the physiological cycle of the subjects and the morphological characteristics of the radiotracer concentration, it is possible to effectively differentiate between physiological uptake and Stage IA endometrial carcinoma.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
