Objective:To analyze the prevalence of chronic diseases, the level of chronic disease prevention and control literacy and its influencing factors among middle-aged and elderly residents in Wenzhou from 2020 to 2023.Methods:Based on a cross-sectional research design, 19 528 usual residents aged 45-69 were retrospectively selected with a multi-stage stratified random sampling method from the health literacy monitoring survey in Wenzhou from 2020 to 2023. The χ2 tests and trend χ2 tests were employed to analyze chronic disease prevalence rates and health literacy possession rates across different population subgroups. Binary logistic regression models were used to identify determinants of chronic disease prevention health literacy among middle-aged and elderly residents in Wenzhou. The results were standardized using data from Wenzhou′s Seventh National Population Census. Results:The numbers of middle-aged and elderly respondents was 5 528, 4 822, 4 575 and 4 603 from 2020 to 2023, respectively, and the prevalence of self-rated chronic diseases was 39.56%, 37.33%, 41.29% and 39.00%, respectively (the standardized rate was 33.49%, 33.58%, 36.43% and 35.34%, respectively) in the each year, and the rates of chronic disease prevention and control literacy was 24.76%, 27.98%, 24.44% and 28.13%, respectively (the standardized rate was 27.95%, 30.11%, 27.57%, 29.78%, respectively). The rates of chronic disease prevention and control literacy was on an upward trend in middle-aged and elderly respondents in Wenzhou from 2020 to 2023 ( χ2trend=5.997, P=0.014). From 2020 to 2023, chronic disease prevention health literacy showed a positive educational gradient, with significantly higher levels observed among more educated populations (both P<0.05). Except for 2020, the residents with household income≥30 000 yuan had a higher chronic disease prevention and control literacy than those with household income less than 30 000 yuan (both P<0.05); in 2021 and 2022, the chronic disease prevention and control literacy in the people of 45-59 years was higher than that in the individuals of 60-69 years (both P<0.05); in 2020 and 2022, the rural residents had a higher chronic disease prevention and control literacy than the urban residents, and the rates of chronic disease prevention and control literacy of employees or retirees in government institutions/doctors/teachers were higher than that in the peasants (both P<0.05); in 2023, the chronic disease prevention and control literacy of the smokers was lower than that in the non-smokers ( P=0.014). Conclusions:The prevalence of chronic diseases among the middle-aged and elderly residents in Wenzhou is relatively low, people with chronic diseases, especially those with multiple chronic diseases, have a low level of chronic disease prevention and control literacy. To prevent and control chronic diseases among them, interventions should be differentiated by the chronic disease status, occupation and household income.

Purpose: The interval between neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and surgery for locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) remains controversial. At the same time, the prognostic effect of delayed surgery in patients with poor responses is currently unclear. Methods: Data was collected from patients who had poor responses to NAC and underwent modified radical surgery from January 2013 to December 2018. The interval from completion of NAC to surgery was divided into two groups: a longer (greater than four weeks) or shorter (four weeks or less) interval. The associations of these interval groups with overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were evaluated by multivariable Cox models adjusting for the existing prognostic factors. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to minimize election bias. Results: A total of 1,229 patients (mean age, 47.2 ± 8.9 years; median follow-up duration, 32.67 [6.57–52.63] months) were included. The 5-year OS rates were 73.2% and 60.8% in the shorter (n = 171) and longer interval group (n = 1,058), respectively, while the 3-year RFS rates were 80.8% and 71.7%, respectively. In multivariate Cox analysis, the longer interval was associated with an increased risk of mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 1.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01–2.02; p = 0.046) and recurrence (HR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.12–1.99; p = 0.006).There was an interaction between the molecular subtype and the surgery interval for OS (pinteraction = 0.014) and RFS (pinteraction = 0.027). After PSM, no significant difference in OS (p = 0.180) and RFS (p = 0.069) was observed between the two groups. Conclusion Among LABC patients with a poor response, those with a longer interval between NAC and surgery had worse OS and RFS. The results indicate that these patients should receive modified radical surgery timely, which may in turn improve their prognosis.

Objective:To understand the current situation of male nurses in Dalian area and explore its future development direction.Methods:From August to September in 2020, 189 male nurses who had been engaged in clinical nursing for more than one year in 29 hospitals in Dalian were selected by convenient sampling method, and they were investigated by questionnaire. SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The counting data were described by rate or constituent ratio. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the important factors influencing male nurses′ willingness to change profession.Results:A total of 189 male nurses were investigated, 137 of them were under 30 years old, accounting for 72.5%. They had high education background and low professional title, mainly concentrated in ICU, operation room and emergency department of public owned 3A or 3B hospitals, with a monthly income of 3 000 to 8 000 yuan. 33 nurses(17.5%) chose nursing profession because they couldn′t change careers by profession adjustment. 135 nurses (71.4%) considered that work pressure was high. 70 nurses (37.0%) had the idea of changing careers. The main influencing factors included:nursing career was not in accordance with individual interest, dislike of female boss, low income. The prominent problem in nursing career was "inconvenience in gender""the confusion of self-positioning".Conclusions:The hospital should improve the income of male nurses, reduce the work pressure, establish magnetic hospital, establish career planning for them, and expand the team of male nurses. Male nurses should take the initiative to improve their professional ability and professional title, so as to provide necessary conditions for the realization of nursing managers, educators, researchers and other professional goals.

Hepatocellular carcinoma has a high morbidity and mortality, which has seriously harmed human health. Several targeted therapies have been approved for the first- and second-line treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The emergence of immunotherapy has brought the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma into a new era. Targeted and immunotherapeutic agents have synergistic effects in mechanism, also the combination of these two therapies has been clinically beneficial to patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. At the same time, in addition to the systemic therapy of targeted combined immunological, applying appropriate local therapy can provide a longer survival period or even a chance of cure for that some patients. The authors introduce the diagnosis and treatment of a case of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who achieved pathological complete remission by first-line immunotherapy combined with anti-angiogenesis targeted therapy.

Objective To study the prevalence of cigarettes and e-cigarettes, and to analyze its influencing factors among high school students in Wenzhou. Methods:A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted among a total of 3 785students from senior high schools and vocational high schools in Wenzhou from September to November in 2020, who were selected by stratified cluster sampling. Their demographic information and the use of tobacco [including the use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes (currently smoking and smoking attempt), and the dual use of them] were asked in the questionnaire of “Global Youth Tobacco Survey”(GYTS). Proportion and rate were used to describe their demographic characteristics and smoking prevalence. Chi-square test was used to compare the difference in smoking prevalence of the high school students with selected characteristics. Multinomial logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of tobacco use among the participants.Results:Among the 3 785 questionnaires, 3 740 were completed, and effective rate was 98.80%. The smoking attempt rate, current smoking rate, e-cigarette attempt rate, e-cigarette using rate, and dual using rate of the high school students in Wenzhou were 11.79% (441/3 740), 2.57% (96/3 740), 10.00% (374/3 740), 2.86% (107/3 740), 0.99% (37/3 740), respectively. Male students, vocational high school students, the students whose parents smoking showed higher smoking attempt rate, current smoking rate, e-cigarette attempt rate than female student, senior high school students and those parents who don′t smoke, respectively (all P<0.05). Best friend smoking [6.076 (2.872-12.855); 4.630 (2.656-8.071)], vocational high school [3.226 (1.877-5.546); 2.238 (1.432-3.496)] were risk factors for e-cigarette and the cigarettes use, belief that whether smoking or not does not make any difference in social activities [0.160 (0.077-0.331); 0.193 (0.096-0.387)], or smoking in social activities makes people more uncomfortable [0.037 (0.018-0.077); 0.155 (0.083-0.288)] were protective factors of e-cigarette and the cigarettes use. Additionally, passive smoking in past week [2.194 (1.129-4.262)], free tobacco products received [2.836 (1.018-7.905)], seeing smoking in campus [2.072 (1.111-3.863)] were all risk factors, while belief that smoking makes young people less attractive [0.280 (0.116-0.676)], not having been to tobacco retail outlets and unexposed to tobacco advertising or promotion [0.241 (0.123-0.473)] can protect senior middle school student away from cigarette. As to e-cigarette, boys were the risk factors [1.831 (1.100-3.050)]; as opposed to being a risk factor for cigarette use [1.942 (1.084-3.478)], rural area was a protective factor for e-cigarette use [0.639 (0.410-0.994)] among high school students in Wenzhou. Conclusions:High school students have relatively low rates of smoking cigarettes and e-cigarette in Wenzhou. Vocational students, best friend smoking are risk factors of e-cigarette and the cigarettes, beliefs that whether smoking or not does not make any difference or smoking makes people more uncomfortable in social activities are protective factors.

Objective: To explore the predictive value of the timed "up and go" test on falling of inpatients with stroke, providing objective reference for clinical fall risk evaluation. Methods: A total of 62 stroke in patients who were treated in the department of Neurology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from January 2018 to June 2018 were selected by the convenience sampling method. The timed "up and go" test was used to record the walking function of stroke inpatients. An ROC curve was used to analyze the efficacy in predicting falls of stroke inpatients. Results: The TUGT has demonstrated intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value of 0.963 (95%CI 0.938-0.978), and Cronbach alpha coefficient value of 0.983.The difference of the TUGT time between recurrent-fall stroke inpatients [15.69 (13.30, 19.87) seconds] and the patients without a history of falling [12.45 (10.08, 16.26) seconds] was statistically significant (Z=-2.585, P<0.05). Meanwhile, the difference of the TUGT time between male stroke inpatients [13.12 (10.23, 15.35) seconds] and female stroke inpatients [17.09 (12.98, 19.87) seconds] was also statistically significant (Z=-2.297, P<0.05). The TUGT time was significantly (P<0.05) positively correlated both with the fall history (rs=0.331) and gender (rs=0.294) in stroke inpatients. The result of ROC curve showed that the optimal TUGT cut-off point for predicting the fall of male stroke patients was 13.12 seconds with 0.696 for AUC, 78.6% for sensitivity and 68.2% for specificity (P<0.05).While the optimal TUGT cut-off point for predicting the fall of female stroke inpatients was 13.68 seconds with 0.691 for AUC, 73.3% for sensitivity and 65.6% for specificity (P<0.05). Conclusions Although TUGT has good feasibility in stroke inpatients, its predictive value for future falls of stroke inpatients is medium. The assessment and prediction of fall risk should be considered carefully by medical workers so as to reduce the occurrence of falls in stroke inpatients.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of topical corticosteroids combined with fusidic acid cream in treating infantile eczema.Methods Four hundreds cases of infantile eczema in the outpatient department of our hospital from March 2012 to January 2015 were collected and divided into observation group (220 cases) and control group (180 cases).The observation group received topical corticosteroids combined with fusidic acid cream,while the control group was treated only by topical corticosteroid.The medication time reaching to clinical cure,effect maintenance time during 30 d observation period and recurrence rate were recorded in the two groups.Results During the 30 days of observation, 50 cases of infantile eczema withdrew from the study,17 cases in the observation group and 33 cases in the control group.The average medication time in the observation group was (2.2±0.9)d,which was shorter than (3.2±1.1)d in the control group.The effect maintenance time during observation period in the observation group was (11.7±5.4) d,which was longer than (7.2±4.0)d in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);74.0% of recurrent cases during the observation period in the observation group manifested by mild eczema,while 57.8% in the control group manifested by mild eczema and had no need to use corticosteroid,the improvement of symptoms during recurrent period for the patients in the observation group was better than that for the patients in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Topical corticosteroids combined with fusidic acid cream for treating infantile eczema can reduce the medication time,prolong the effect maintenance time,and alleviate the recurrent symptoms.

Objective To investigate effects of magnesium sulfate wet compress nursing on prognosis of child′s scrotum hematoma after indirect inguinal hernia. Methods A total of 54 pediatric children were collected for inguinal hernia operation by convenient sampling method, and random number table method were used to averagely divide patients into control group ( received routine nursing ) and observation group ( given conventional care and magnesium sulfate local wet dressing care) . The child′s length of hematoma vanishing and incidence of complications were compared between two groups. Results In the observation group, the length of hematoma vanishing was 4-10 d, the average time (5. 8 ± 1. 45)d, while the length of hematoma vanishing was 6-14 d, the average (7. 8 ± 2. 11)d in the control group (P<0. 05). There was no incidence of ulcer, local infection and other complications in the observation group whereas 3 cases of ulcer and 1 cases of local infection in the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusions Magnesium sulfate wet compress nursing can shorten the length of child′s scrotum hematoma vanishing after indirect inguinal hernia surgery and reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective To study the effects of 5-azacytidine’s demethylation for P16 gene on hemangioma cell’s proliferation and apoptosis.Methods Bisulfite sequencing PCR was applied to detect P16 gene′s promoter methylation status in 5-azacytidine treated and untreated EOMA cell line.RT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the P16 gene mRNA and protein expressions.Flow cytometry was used to detect cell proliferation, cell cycle and cell apoptosis.The differences of P16 gene′s promoter methylation status,mRNA and protein expressions,cell proliferation,cell cycle and apoptosis in two groups were compared. Results The methylation rates in 1st and 13th CGs were 0%after 5-azacytidine treatment in EOMA hemangioma cell line,which were lower than in untreated cells.The mRNA and protein expressions increased after 5-azacytidine treatment,which were significantly higher than in untreated cells.The absorbance,S phase and G2/M phase and PI after 5-azacytidine treatment were lower than untreated cells,while the G0/G1 phase and apoptosis rates were higher.Conclusion The P16 gene promoter is hypermethylated in hemangioma cells with silent gene expressions.5-azacytidine could reverse P16 gene′s promoter methylation and silent gene expressions,which inhibit hemangioma cell’s proliferation and promote apoptosis.
