Objective To investigate the application value of the subject-achieving quality control circle theory in enhan-cing medication adherence among newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients through via popular science intervention.Methods From September 2023 to April 2024,100 patients with newly diagnosed tuberculosis treated at the outpatient department were ran-domly divided into control and intervention groups,each comprising 50 cases.The control group received only routine medication education;whereas the intervention group,in addition to this,implemented popular science intervention measures based on the quality control circle theory.The medication adherence,full course completion rate,non-disease interruption rate,and self-re-ported adverse reaction rate were compared.Results After treatment,the intervention group showed higher medication adher-ence(6.76±1.02 vs.6.15±1.36),better adherence rates(78％vs.62％),and higher cure rates(76％vs.42％)than the control group,all with statistical significance.The non-disease interruption rate was also significantly lower in the intervention group(2％vs.14％).Adverse reaction reports were 6％in control and 18％in intervention group.Conclusion The subject-achieving quality control circle effectively improves medication adherence in newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients.

OBJECTIVE: The current fertilization methods for Chinese yam are uneconomic and unfriend to environment. A rational one is very important to achieve desired balance of high yield of Chinese yam, economic and friend to environment. Here, we studied the effects of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) fertilizers on the yield of 'Qinfeng' Chinese yam in shallow-groove directional cultivation. METHODS: The experiments were conducted in Dehua County, Fujian Province, China using a "3414" optimal design. Overall, three fertilizer factors (N, P, and K) were evaluated at the following four levels: 0, no fertilizer; 1, 0.5-fold the typical rate; 2, typical fertilization rate; and 3, 1.5-fold the typical rate. There were 14 different fertilization treatments. RESULTS: Treatment 6 (N₂P₂K₂) produced the longest (75.6 cm) and thickest tubers (4.9 cm) with the highest tuber fresh weight (1311.9 g) and yield (41 015.9 kg/hm²), whereas, treatment 1 produced the shortest (65.6 cm) and thinnest tubers (3.9 cm) with the lowest fresh weight (953.4 g) and yield (28 532.8 kg/hm²) among the 14 fertilizer combinations. The experimental data could be fitted to single-variable quadratic and binary quadratic models but not to a ternary quadratic polynomial model. Appropriate N, P, and K fertilizer application rates increased Chinese yam yield. However, excessive fertilization lowered the yield. Chinese yam yield was significantly and strongly correlated with the amounts of N, P, and K fertilizer applied. CONCLUSION Based on the single variable quadratic and binary quadratic models, we propose that the quantities of N, P, and K fertilizer used to grow 1 hm² 'Qinfeng' Chinese yam should be 360-388.3, 90-100.95, and 416.3-675 kg, respectively.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of cladribine in the treatment of patients with refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods The data of 8 patients with refractory/relapsed AML treated with regimens containing cladribine at a dose of 5 mg/m2 per day for 5 consecutive days were retrospectively analyzed. The efficacy and adverse reactions were observed during treatment. Results Among the 8 patients, 5 patients achieved complete remission (CR), 1 patient achieved partial response (PR), and 2 patients obtained non remission (NR). The adverse reactions could be tolerated. Conclusion Regimen containing cladribine is an effective treatment procedure for the patients with refractory/relapsed AML, and its adverse reactions can be tolerated, which requires further clinical study.

Objective To investigate the effects of long proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA-long) in treating long-segment fracture in middle-up part of femoral. Methods From June 2006 to December 2013, we treated 139 cases long-segment fracture in middle-up part of femoral with long proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA, 320-380 mm) by minimally invasive per-cutaneous fixation and autogenous iliac bone graft. Data of 139 patients (104 male and female 35;ages 18 to 86 years, with an aver-age age of 48.8 years). Type IA 58 cases (41.73%, 58/139), type IB 25 cases (17.99%, 25/139), type IC 4 cases (2.88%, 4/139), type II 28 cases (20.14%, 28/139), type IIIA 12 cases (8.63%, 12/139), type IIIB in 5 cases (3.60%, 5/139), type IV 7 cases (5.04%, 7/139). The duration from injury to surgery was 3 hours to 12 days, with an average of 4.2 days. The postoperative follow-up was at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 months, and annually at least. The clinical efficacy was evaluated with Harris hip function score. The postoperative pain was evaluated with visual analogue scale (VAS). Results The operative time of 139 cases was from 35 to 90 minutes, averaged 45 minutes and the blood loss during surgery averaged 78.6 ml (ranged from 30 to 200 ml). All patients walked by walking aid appliance after 4 to 10 days postoperatively, apart from 16 cases with serious long grinding fracture. All patients had been followed up for 3 to 37 months (mean 19 months). No complications, such as infection, lower limb vein infarction, cut-out and breakage of the implants, occurred. However, there were 4 patients with nail broken and 6 patients with hip internal rotation who were treated by secondary operation. There were 5 cases with slight hip external rotation and 8 cases with hip internal reverse-lamb shortening malformation. All fractures healed after 2.8-6.8 months (mean 3.9 months). According to Harris criteria, the clini-cal results were best in 108 cases, better in 22 cases, good in 8 cases, and bad in 1 case. The excellent and good rate was 93.53%(130/139). The score for VAS was 0-6 (mean 0.8), 93 cases in which no pain, mild pain in 33 cases, moderate pain in 13 cases, 25 cases occasionally need to take non-steroidal analgesics. Conclusion Closed reduction or limited open reduction with PFNA-long is an effective treatment for long-segment fracture in middle-up part of femoral, with higher strength in fixation, higher rate of fracture union, early functional recovery and lower rate of complications.

AIM: To investigate the effect of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1) modified human umbilical cord blood stromal cells(hUCBSCs) on the expansion of hematopoietic stem cells/progenitor cells in vitro.METHODS: After the VCAM-1-pcDNA3.1(+) eukaryotic expression vector was constructed successfully,the recombinant vector was transfected into hUCBSCs via liposome mediation.The expression of the VCAM-1 was detected by semiquantitative RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry.The expansion abilities of hematopoietic cell in vitro under different conditions were compared,including cytokine stimulation,hUCBSCs feeder layer and VCAM-1 modified hUCBSCs feeder layer etc.The effect on hematopoietic reconstitution of different expanded hematopoietic cell groups was compared after CFU-GM,CFU-E and CFU-Mg semi-solid culture were proceed,respectively.RESULTS: The positive clone and NeoR gene detection proved that recombinant vector had been transfected into hUCBSCs.The results of semiquantitative RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry manifested that VCAM-1 was high expressed not only at transcriptional level in the stable-transfected hUCBSCs(P
