Objective To construction and investigate the application effect of auricular acupressure technology in patients with cough with different syndrome types.Methods From December 2022 to March 2023,the Delphi method was used to consult experts to form a technical scheme for auricular pressure in patients with cough with different syndrome types in the early and middle stages.122 patients with stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ lung cancer cough from the oncology department of 3 tertiary hospitals of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing between July 2023 to January 2024 were randomly divided into an experimental group(61 cases)and a control group(61 cases).The experimental group referred to the constructed auricular acupressure technique program to identify and take acupoints,and the control group used the original auricular acupressure program for 7 d of continuous intervention.The changes in the scores of the Visual Analog Scale(VAS)and the scores of The MD Anderson Symptom Inventory for lung cancer(MDASI-LC)were observed in the 2 groups before and after the intervention.Results The final scheme included 3 first-level items,12 second-level items,and 14 third-level items.The 2 rounds of expert authority coefficients were 0.88,indicating a high degree of authority,and the Kendall harmony coefficients of the 2 rounds of correspondence were 0.170 and 0.130(P＜0.001),respectively,and the results tended to be consistent.A total of 122 patients completed the study.After intervention,the VAS score of cough severity in the experimental group was 3.0(2.0,3.0)points,which was lower than 3.0(3.0,4.0)points in the control group.The MDASI-LC score of the experimental group was 17.0(9.5,31.5)points,which was lower than 28.0(15.5,47.5)points in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The constructed auricular acupressure technique program has certain scientificity,and it can effectively relieve cough symptoms of stage Ⅰ～Ⅱ lung cancer patients,and the severity of symptom clusters has been improved,which provides the basis for TCM nursing intervention in cough symptoms of lung cancer patients.

Objective:To understand the prevalence of frailty and the importance of its influencing factors in adult population in Shaanxi Province.Methods:The data were from Shaanxi baseline survey of natural population cohort study in northwest China during 2018-2019. The frailty index (FI) was constructed to evaluate the frailty status of the population, and XGboost model combined with Shapley method was used to analyze the importance of the sociodemographic and life behavior factors affecting the prevalence of frailty by gender and age.Results:A total of 25 079 subjects were included, in whom 964 (3.8%) had frailty, and there was no significant difference in the overall prevalence of frailty between women (3.9%) and men (3.8%) ( P=0.629), but there was a gender specific difference in the distribution of FI ( P<0.001), and the proportion of the pre-frailty in men was higher than that in women. The prevalence of frailty increased with age ( P<0.001), the prevalence of frailty were 1.3%, 2.5% and 7.8% in young, middle-aged and elderly women, respectively, and 1.9%, 2.7% and 5.5% in young, middle-aged and elderly men, respectively. Sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle patterns were both influencing factors for the prevalence of frailty, but their importance varied with gender and age. The top five contributing factors were education level, staying up late, annual family income level, sedentary time and marital status in young women, and staying up late, smoking, annual family income level, sedentary time and drinking in young men. The top five contributing factors were education level, annual family income level, passive exposure to smoking, staying up late, and sedentary time in middle-aged women, and annual family income level, education level, sedentary time, staying up late and drinking in middle-aged men. The top five contributing factors were annual family income level, passive exposure to smoking, sedentary time, marital status, and smartphone use in elderly women, and education level, annual family income level, smoking, smartphone use and sedentary time in elderly men. Conclusions:There are gender specific differences in the distribution of FI in Shaanxi. The prevalence of frailty increased with age, but young and middle-aged people also have frailty risk. The prevalence of frailty in young men was mainly related to unhealthy life behaviors, such as staying up late, smoking, sedentary behavior and drinking, while the prevalence of frailty in middle-aged and elderly men and women were more affected by sociodemographic factors, such as education level, economic status and marital status.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and body inflammation.Methods:The data were obtained from a baseline survey in population in Xi'an in natural population cohort study in northwest China established in 2018-2019. Based on TG and FPG, TyG/TyG-BMI was constructed to reflect insulin resistance (IR) in the body, and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) reflecting inflammation in the body was constructed using neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet counts. A logistic regression model was used to explore the relationship between the TyG and the SII.Results:A total of 11 491 subjects were included in the analysis. After adjusting for covariates, each unit increase in the TyG increased the risk of high SII by 21% ( OR=1.21, 95% CI:1.12-1.30). The risk of high SII in the group with the TyG in Q4 was 1.34 times higher than that in the group Q1 ( OR=1.34, 95% CI:1.18-1.52). Both sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis further confirmed the stability of the association between the TyG and the SII. In the population with a BMI ranging from 18.5 to 23.9 kg/m 2, for every unit increase in the TyG as a continuous variable, the risk for high SII increased by 31% ( OR=1.31, 95% CI:1.18-1.45). As a categorical variable, the risk for high SII in the Q4 group was 1.52 times higher than that in the Q1 group ( OR=1.52, 95% CI:1.27-1.83). In a population with BMIs ranging from 24.0 to 27.9 kg/m 2, for every unit increase in the TyG as a continuous variable, the risk for high SII increased by 20% ( OR=1.20, 95% CI:1.07-1.35), and there was no significant difference when it was a categorical variable. Conclusions:The increase in IR is closely related to the development of inflammation in the body, and BMI may regulate their relationship. Early prevention of elevated IR levels before overweight or obesity may have a positive effect on the control of inflammation in the body.

Objective:To study the relationship between the Chinese dietary guidelines compliance index for pregnant women (CDGCI_PW) and congenital heart disease (CHD) in offspring.Methods:In a hospital-based case-control study conducted in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires were used to investigate the diets of pregnant women throughout pregnancy. The modified CDGCI_PW score was used to evaluate dietary quality during pregnancy, logistic regression was applied to analyze the relationship between CDGCI_PW score and offspring CHD, and the ROC curve was adopted to construct the prediction model of CDGCI_PW for offspring CHD.Results:A total of 1 422 subjects were enrolled, including 474 in the case group and 948 in the control group. The CDGCI_PW score in the case group M ( Q1, Q3) was 46.0 (26.0, 65.0) lower than that in the control group, which was 60.0 (40.0, 77.0). The difference between the two groups was significant ( P<0.001). Compared with those in the Q1 of CDGCI_PW, the offspring in the Q2, Q3, and Q4 of CDGCI_PW had a lower risk of total CHD ( OR=0.60, 95% CI: 0.43-0.83; OR=0.64, 95% CI: 0.45-0.89; OR=0.29, 95% CI: 0.19-0.44), with the trend test P<0.001. The risk of total CHD was reduced by 17% ( OR=0.83, 95% CI: 0.79-0.88) when 10 points increased the CDGCI_PW score. The area under curve predicted by constructing the ROC curve was 0.793 (95% CI: 0.768-0.818), and at the maximum of the Youden index, the sensitivity was 0.740, and the specificity was 0.725. Conclusion:This study suggests that improving dietary quality during pregnancy may reduce the risk of CHD in offspring.

Objective:To evaluate the compliance with Chinese Residency Training Program of radiation oncology and provide reference for the improvement of system reform and base construction.Methods:An survey was conducted among residents who had completed residency training program of radiation oncology by online questionnaires in four dimensions, including the fulfillment of training center in hardware, personnel and procedures, the compliance with syllabuses, mechanism of trainee evaluation, and the passing rate and satisfaction degree of trainees.Results:The results showed that most training centers fulfilled the requirement of equipment, mentoring personnel and procedures. The training syllabuses had been followed and integrated with organization multi-modalities. The trainees with high degree of satisfaction accounted for 65.6%, and the final qualification passing rate reached 75.5%. However, there were less reference textbooks, insufficient training in general medicine, limited clinical practice, and low output in academic publication.Conclusions:The residency training program of radiation oncology has been established in China and achieved notable progress. For the further improvement, quantitative optimization of procedures, increasing opportunity of practice and strengthening scientific research involvement would be beneficial.

【Objective】 To evaluate the diet quality of pregnant women in Shaanxi Province by Diet Balance Index for Pregnancy (DBI_P) and investigate the influencing factors. 【Methods】 By using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method, 7375 pregnant women in 30 districts (counties) of Shaanxi Province were recruited. A structured questionnaire was adopted to collect general information in pregnancy, and a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was used to obtain dietary information in pregnancy. DBI_ P was used to evaluate the diet quality during pregnancy, and the factors influencing diet quality were assessed by multiple linear regression. 【Results】 More than 50% pregnant women had inadequate intakes of dairy products, fish and shrimp, meat and poultry, vegetables, eggs, fruits and diet variety. More than 69% pregnant women had excessive intakes of cooking oil, cereals and salt. The average values of high bound score, low bound score, and diet quality distance were 12.9, 19.5, and 32.5, respectively. The proportions of medium inadequate, excessive, and imbalance of dietary intakes were 20.3%, 22.55%, and 40.8%, respectively. DBI_LBS during pregnancy was negatively correlated with childbearing age, education level, family per capita annual income, antenatal examination frequency and folic acid supplementation, but positively correlated with living in southern and northern Shaanxi, residing in rural areas, being farmers, and drinking alcohol. DBI_HBS during pregnancy was negatively correlated with living in southern and northern Shaanxi, but positively correlated with active/passive smoking and drinking strong tea. DBI_DQD during pregnancy was negatively correlated with education level, family per capita annual income, antenatal examination frequency and folic acid supplementation, but positively correlated with living in southern Shaanxi, residing in rural areas, being farmers, parity, active/passive smoking, and drinking strong tea and coffee. 【Conclusion】 The dietary intake of pregnant women in Shaanxi Province was insufficient and unbalanced, and the dietary quality was affected by sociodemographic and life behavior factors during pregnancy. Nutritional intervention measures should be targeted.

Objective:To explore the association of maternal anxiety with congenital heart disease (CHD) in offspring.Methods:A case-control study design was used in this study. The data were collected in Shaanxi province from January 2014 to December 2016. Neonatal information is provided through specialized hospitals or institutions. Logistic regression model with adjustment for confounding factors was established to analyze the association between maternal perinatal anxiety and CHD in offspring. Meanwhile, subgroup analysis was carried out to explore its stability.Results:Our study included 2 429 subjects, consisting of 773 cases and 1 656 controls. Women with anxiety during pregnancy accounted for 10.3% in the case group, while 7.8% in the control group. After adjusting for confounding factors, the level of maternal anxiety during pregnancy was positively correlated with CHD in the offspring ( OR=1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.07). The risk of CHD in the offspring of mothers with anxiety during pregnancy was 1.43 times higher than that in those whose mothers had no anxiety ( OR=1.43, 95% CI: 1.00-2.05). Conclusion:Maternal anxiety during pregnancy is probably a risk factor for congenital heart disease in offspring.
