Glaucoma is the world's first irreversible blinding eye disease and the second leading cause of blindness.Its onset is insidious and its course is long, and if not treated in time, it can eventually lead to blindness.With the increasing population growth and aging, the number of patients with glaucoma is increasing year by year, and the patients' requirements for quality of life are becoming higher and higher, not only to see but to see well, which is a very difficult challenge for the blindness prevention of glaucoma.This paper analyzes the concept and connotation of health management and chronic disease management, and expounds the current research status, problems and challenges, and achievements of glaucoma health management at home and abroad.Combined with the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021—2025) for National Eye Health and other relevant policies and regulations issued in China in recent years, based on industry norms such as the Chinese Glaucoma Guidelines (2020) and various diagnostic and treatment requirements, the development opportunities and solutions for building a glaucoma health management model in accordance with China's national conditions are explored to guide the work of preventing glaucoma blindness, reducing the blindness rate of glaucoma and improving the level of eye health in China.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of an online-to-offline(O2O)health education guided by the'Timing Theory'in improving self-management behaviours among the patients with glaucoma after day surgery.Methods In this randomised controlled study conducted between July and December 2022,70 patients with glaucoma after day surgery in our hospital were assigned to a control group and an experimental group,with 35 patients per group.Patients in control group received routine nursing care,while those in experimental group received O2O health education based on timing theory in addition to the routine nursing care.Outcomes were evaluated using the glaucoma awareness and knowledge questionnaire(GAKQ),self-efficacy to manage chronic disease scale(SEMCD)and glaucoma self-management questionnaire(GSMQ)at baseline,at 1 month and 3 months after surgery.Results A total of 32 patients in the experimental group and 27 in the control group completed the study.The generalised estimating equation(GEE)analysis showed a significant difference,respectively,in total score of GSMQ in interaction effect(F=8.408,P=0.015)and SEMC in time main effect(F=54.660,P<0.001).There were significant differences in total scores of GAKQ in time main effect,inter-group main effect and interaction effect(F=128.483,P<0.001;F=7.991,P<0.05;F=32.652,P<0.001,respectively).At one-month after intervention,the experimental group showed significantly higher GAKQ and SEMCD scores than the control group(Z=-2.004,P<0.05;Z=-2.029,P<0.05,respectively).At 1-and 3-months after intervention,the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher GAKQ scores(Z=-3.987,P<0.001;Z=-4.505,P<0.001,respectively).Conclusion The timing theory based O2O health education significantly improves knowledge of glaucoma,self-efficacy and self-management behaviours among day surgery patients and helps patients better cope with perioperative self-management over day surgery.

OBJECTIVE To establish the ultra-high performance liquid chromatography(UPLC)fingerprint of Jingtian granule,and to evaluate its quality by chemical pattern recognition.METHODS Luna? Omega Polar C18 column(150 mmX2.1 mm,1.6 μm)was used as the chromatographic column,and acetonitrile-0.2％phosphoric acid solution was used as the mobile phase for gradient elution.The flow rate was 0.2 mL/min,the column temperature was 30 ℃,and the detection wavelength was 265 nm.With peak 16 as the reference peak,the UPLC fingerprint of Jingtian granule was established by the Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine(2012 edition).The common peaks were identified,the similarity evaluation was carried out,and the ownership of each common peak was confirmed.Hierarchical cluster analysis(HCA)and principal component analysis(PCA)in chemical pattern recognition methods were used to classify 13 batches of samples(S1-S13),and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA)was used to identify the key components of the differences between different batches of samples.RESULTS RSDs of precision,repeatability and stability of the UPLC method were not more than 4.4％.A total of 25 common peaks were identified in the fingerprints of 13 batches of Jingtian granules.By comparing with the reference substance fingerprint,10 common peaks were identified,namely peak 3(5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde),peak 5(salidroside),peak 8(chlorogenic acid),peak 15(cinnamic acid),peak 19(aloe-emodin),peak 20(ammonium glycyrrhizinate),peak 21(rhein),peak 23(emodin),peak 24(glycyrrhetinic acid),peak 25(chrysophanol).The similarities of fingerprints of 13 batches of samples were 0.955-0.996.The results of HCA showed that 13 batches of samples could be divided into three categories,among which samples S1,S5,S7,S11-S13 were clustered in one category,S4 and S6 were clustered in one category,S2,S3 and S8-S10 were clustered in one category.PCA results showed that the cumulative variance contribution rate of principal components 1-7 was 92.666％.OPLS-DA further identified 13 differential components,which were mainly derived from Polygonati Rhizoma with wine steaming,Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix Et Rhizoma,prepared Rhei Radix Et Rhizoma and Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizome Praeparata Cum Melle.CONCLUSIONS The established UPLC fingerprint of Jingtian granule is simple,stable and reproducible.Combined with the chemical pattern recognition method,it can effectively reveal the overall quality difference between different batches of Jingtian granule.The quality of Polygonati Rhizoma with wine steaming,Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix Et Rhizoma,prepared Rhei Radix Et Rhizoma,Dioscoreae Nipponicae Rhizoma,Polyporus,Cinnamomi Ramulus,Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizome Praeparata Cum Melle is the key to the overall quality of Jingtian granule.

BACKGROUND: The burden of esophageal cancer varies across different regions of the world. The aim of this study is to analyze the current burden of esophageal cancer in 185 countries in 2022 and to project the trends up to the year 2050. METHODS: We extracted data on primary esophageal cancer cases and deaths from the GLOBOCAN 2022 database, which includes data from 185 countries. Age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR) and mortality rates (ASMR) per 100,000 person-years were calculated by stratifying by Human Development Index (HDI) levels and regions. Considering changes in population size and age structure, we assumed that the risks of incidence and mortality remain constant at the levels of 2022 to forecast the number of new cases and deaths from esophageal cancer globally by 2050. RESULTS: In 2022, an estimated 511,054 people were diagnosed with esophageal cancer globally, and 445,391 died from the disease. The global ASIR and ASMR for esophageal cancer were 5.00 and 4.30 per 100,000, respectively. The highest rates were observed in East Africa (7.60 for incidence, 7.20 for mortality per 100,000), East Asia (7.60 for incidence, 5.90 for mortality per 100,000), Southern Africa (6.30 for incidence, 5.90 for mortality per 100,000), and South Central Asia (5.80 for incidence, 5.50 for mortality per 100,000). Among the 185 countries worldwide, esophageal cancer was among the top five causes of cancer incidence in 18 countries and among the top five causes of cancer mortality in 25 countries. In 2022, China had 224,012 new cases and 187,467 deaths from esophageal cancer, accounting for approximately 43.8% and 42.1% of the global total, respectively, which is higher than the proportion of China's population to the global population (17.9%). ASIR was 8.30 per 100,000, and ASMR was 6.70 per 100,000. The highest burden of esophageal cancer was in high HDI countries, with new cases and deaths accounting for 51.3% and 50.0% of the global total, respectively. The ASIR and ASMR were highest in the high HDI group (6.10 and 5.10 per 100,000, respectively), also exceeding the global averages. There was a trend of decreasing mortality to incidence ratio with increasing HDI, but no correlation was observed between HDI and ASIR or ASMR. In all regions worldwide, the incidence and mortality rates were higher in males than in females (with a male-to-female ASR ratio ranging from 1.10 to 28.7). Compared to 2022, it is projected that by 2050, the number of new esophageal cancer cases will increase by approximately 80.5%, and deaths will increase by 85.4% due to population growth and aging. CONCLUSIONS The burden of esophageal cancer remains heavy. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including reducing tobacco and alcohol intake, avoiding moldy foods, and increasing intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, can help reduce the risk of stomach and esophageal cancer. In addition, the development and implementation of evidence-based and effective public health policies are critical to reducing the global disease burden of esophageal cancer.
