Objective:To culturally adapt the eHealth Literacy Questionnaire (eHLQ) into Chinese and validate its reliability and validity in stroke patients, so as to provide a basis for comprehensive evaluation of electronic health literacy in stroke patients.Methods:From May to September 2024, the Brislin translation model was adopted for translation, and the expert consultation was used for cultural adaptation. Followed by preliminary testing to finalize the Chinese version of eHLQ. A convenience sample of the stroke patients was recruited from Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University and Tianjin Huanhu Hospital between October 2024 to February 2025 to conduct a cross-sectional study and evaluate the scale's reliability and validity.Results:Finally, 415 stroke patients were included, with 284 males and 131 females, aged (61.26 ± 9.75) years. The Chinese eHLQ comprised 7 dimensions and 35 items. The item-level content validity index ranged from 0.875 to 1.000, and the scale-level content validity index of universal agreement was 0.857. Exploratory factor analysis revealed KMO value of 0.922, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 68.90% and factor loading ranging from 0.515 to 0.803. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated satisfactory model fit indices: χ2/ df was 1.639, incremental fit index was 0.913, Tucker-Lewis index was 0.902, comparative fit index was 0.912, goodness-of-fit index was 0.812, and root mean square error of approximation was 0.056. The overall Cronbach α coefficient was 0.941, with subscale Cronbach α ranging from 0.825 to 0.894. The test-retest reliability was 0.954. Conclusions:The Chinese version of the eHLQ exhibits excellent reliability and validity, serving as an effective tool for assessing eHealth literacy among stroke patients in China.

Objective:To understand the oral health and frailty status of the elderly in the community in Beijing and analyze the correlation between the two, so as to provide a reference for the frailty management of the elderly in the community.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Using the multi-stage stratified sampling method, a total of 241 community elderly people in 9 communities in Beijing from July to December 2021 were selected as the research objects. They were investigated using the general information questionnaire, Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and the Fried Frailty Phenotype. Univariate analysis and ordinal logistic regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of frailty among the elderly in the community. A total of 260 questionnaires were distributed in this study and 241 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 92.6%.Results:Among the 241 community elders, 115 (47.7%) were not frail, 92 (38.2%) were pre-frail and 34 (14.1%) were frail. Ordinal Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of teeth of 0-9, 10-19, dry mouth and incomplete or unrepaired restoration of missing teeth were risk factors for frailty among the elderly in the community ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:From the perspective of oral health, this study further analyzes the risk factors of frailty in the elderly in the community. Medical institutions and elderly care institutions at all levels can use oral health status as a screening item for the frailty risk of the elderly in the community, providing new ideas for the prevention and intervention of frailty in the community.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the molecular basis for a rare case with Para-Bombay AB blood type.
METHODS:
Serological method was used to determine the blood type of the proband. Exons 6 and 7 of the ABO gene and the coding regions of FUT1 and FUT2 genes were analyzed by direct sequencing.
RESULTS:
Serological results showed that the proband was a Para-Bombay AB subtype. His genotype was determined as ABO*A1.02/B.01. The proband was also found to harbor c.551-552delAG and c.881-882delTT of the FUT1 gene. For his four children, there were three type B and one type A, though the expression of the H type was normal.
CONCLUSION
The double deletions in the coding region of the FUT1 gene probably underlay the Para-Bombay blood type in the proband. Carrier of single-strand deletions may have a normal ABO phenotype.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the severity of insomnia and the curative effect in acute stage in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Methods The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) was used to evaluate and group the severity of insomnia in the 57 patients with MDD. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality. The 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD24) was used to evaluate depressive symptoms, and the effect of acute stage (4~6 weeks) was evaluated with its reduction rate. The difference of curative effect was compared among patients with different insomnia levels. Results There was a significantly different recovery rate in acute stage in 3 groups of patients with mild, moderate and severe insomnia ( X2=22.34,P<0.01). The severity of insomnia in patients with MDD (PSQI) was negatively correlated with the curative effect of acute stage (r=-0.44,P<0.01). The total score, anxiety/somatization factor score, retardant factor score and despair factor score were significantly higher in severe insomnia group than in the moderate and mild insomnia groups after acute treatment (P<0.01). Conclusion The severity of insomnia in patients with MDD can predict the curative effect in acute stage. The depressive patients with severe insomnia have residual anxiety/somatization, retardant, feelings of despair and other symptoms more obvious than mild and moderate insomnia patients after acute treatment.

Objective To investigate the self-care agency in disabled elders of community and to explore effects of medical care and nursing service integration on self-care agency in disabled elders with different degrees of disability in community. Methods We traced and investigated a total of 42 disabled elders signed medical care and nursing service integration with a community. The self-care agency was compared with the Chinese Version of the Self-care Ability Scale for the Elderly (SASE-CHI) before and six months after service objects accepting services. Results The average of self-care ability of community disabled elders was (48.69±12.11) with a low level. Six months after accepting medical care and nursing service integration, the score of self-care ability of disabled elders increased along with (53.07±8.68) in total score of self-care ability, (21.38±3.76) in objective dimension and (25.62±4.39) in skill dimension. There were significant differences in scores of self-care ability compared before and after accepting service (t=-2.346,-2.592, -2.731;P<0.05). There were small changes in elders with mild disability before and after accepting services (P>0.05). The total score of self-care ability and score of skill dimension increased in elders with moderate and severe ability after accepting services, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions The self-care ability of community disabled elders is in a low level. The medical care and nursing service integration can improve self-care ability of community disabled elders. However, there is great room to upgrade.

Objective To study the application of autoregressive integrated moving average(ARIMA)model to predict the monthly reported malaria cases in China,so as to provide a reference for prevention and control of malaria. Methods SPSS 24.0 software was used to construct the ARIMA models based on the monthly reported malaria cases of the time series of 2006-2015 and 2011-2015,respectively. The data of malaria cases from January to December,2016 were used as validation data to compare the accuracy of the two ARIMA models. Results The models of the monthly reported cases of malaria in China were ARIMA(2,1,1)(1,1,0)12 and ARIMA(1,0,0)(1,1,0)12 respectively. The comparison between the predictions of the two models and actual situation of malaria cases showed that the ARIMA model based on the data of 2011-2015 had a higher ac-curacy of forecasting than the model based on the data of 2006-2015 had. Conclusion The establishment and prediction of ARIMA model is a dynamic process,which needs to be adjusted unceasingly according to the accumulated data,and in addi-tion,the major changes of epidemic characteristics of infectious diseases must be considered.
