Objective:To investigate outpatients with central venous catheters regarding their awareness and needs for internet-based nursing clinics for venous catheter maintenance, and to provide reference for the development of internet-based catheter care services.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to recruit 280 patients with central venous catheters who visited the Outpatient Catheter Maintenance Room of Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, between November and December 2024. A self-designed questionnaire on awareness and needs regarding catheter venous catheters in internet-based nursing clinics was used to conduct the survey.Results:A total of 280 questionnaires were distributed and 271 valid questionnaires were recovered, yielding an effective response rate of 96.79%. Regarding awareness, 47.97% (130/271) of the patients were aware of internet-based catheter maintenance services, and 80.81% (219/271) expressed willingness to try them. Regarding outpatient demand, 62.73% (170/271) preferred video consultations and 20.66% (56/271) preferred online text-based consultations. A total of 55.35% (150/271) of patients hoped for 24-hour access to consultation services, and 49.45% (134/271) were very willing to pay additional service fees. In terms of service content, 86.72% (235/271) hoped for more convenient home-visit services, 91.14% (247/271) expected assistance with expert appointment booking, and 95.94% (260/271) wanted medication delivery services related to catheter maintenance. Regarding education and support, 83.76% (227/271) hoped to gain knowledge about disease prevention and management, and 73.80% (200/271) desired guidance on healthy lifestyle practices.Conclusions:Outpatients with central venous catheters have relatively low awareness of internet-based nursing clinics for venous catheter maintenance, but show high levels of service demand. They also express expectations for expanded service content and formats. Hospital administrators should gradually improve the service system based on patients' needs and enhance educational initiatives to improve patient awareness, ultimately delivering more timely, high-quality, and efficient nursing services.

Objective:To investigate the current status of application of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in China, aiming to provide reference for promoting the development of this technology.Methods:From January to March 2024, a questionnaire was designed and distributed online, targeting member units of the Professional Committee of Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatment, which covers 175 radiotherapy units in 30 provinces and regions nationwide. The survey focused on the current application of SBRT technology and its utilization in the treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A statistical description of the survey results was presented.Results:Of 175 questionnaires distributed, a total of 130 valid responses were collected, with an effective response rate of 74.3%. A total of 81.5% (106/130) of the units had implemented SBRT technology, and 99.1% of the respondents believed it was necessary to further promote SBRT technology, yet the actual training rate was only 67.0%. SBRT equipment configuration: there were a total of 267 SBRT equipment, featuring a diverse range of types, with traditional linear accelerators as the mainstays, accounting for 76.0% ( n=203), followed by 12.0% ( n=32) for TOMO, 6.4% ( n=17) for Cyber knife, 3.7% ( n=10) for Gamma knife, and proton/heavy ion equipment at 1.5% ( n=4), respectively. The percentage of units with multi-leaf collimator leaf widths ≤0.5 cm was 93.4% (99/106). The application of SBRT: the first radiotherapy unit commenced SBRT in 2000, and this technology entered a period of rapid growth after 2015, sustaining a steady increase over the past decade; SBRT technology was mainly applied in the brain, lung, liver, bone, adrenal gland, and kidney, with application rates of 97.2%, 94.3%, 86.8%, 71.7%, 56.6%, and 27.4%, respectively, while the application rates for the pancreas, metastatic lymph nodes, and other parts were less than 5%. Current status of SBRT technology application in early-stage NSCLC: 90.6% (96/106) of units had implemented SBRT; pre-treatment multi-disciplinary diagnosis and treatment accounted for 77% (74/96); the proportion of application units for peripheral and central type lung cancer lesions both exceeded 57.3%, whereas the application rate for ultra-central type and lesions > 5 cm lung cancer was less than 30%; there was significant variability in the selection of reference guidelines, dose fractionation patterns, and the concept of central type among units. Conclusions:The development of SBRT technology in China is in a period of steady growth, but several issues such as low training rate and lack of standardization still exist. The survey results provide important reference for clinical training and promotion of SBRT technology in China.

Laboratory testing is a vital chain in the prevention and control of genital chlamydia trachomatis infection. The prevalence of genital chlamydia trachomatis infection is high, but the detection rate of the infection is low in men who have sex with men (MSM) in China. Self-sampling for genital chlamydia trachomatis detection by MSM is a new option to address this problem, which would play a significant role in expanding genital chlamydia trachomatis infection screening in this population. This paper summarizes the progress in research of self-sampling for the detection of genital chlamydia trachomatis and the related factors in MSM both at home and abroad to provide reference for the promotion of self-sampling for the detection of genital chlamydia trachomatis in this population.
