ObjectiveTo explore the differences in attention to the sub-dimensions of satisfaction with the quality of assistive devices among people with different self-care abilities in China, identify the key driving factors, and provide a basis for the precision design and service provision of assistive devices. MethodsBased on the 2023 national survey data, involving 14 030 people with functional impairments, self-care ability was taken as the core independent variable, eight sub-dimensions of satisfaction as dependent variables, and variables such as gender, age, educational level and residential type were controlled. Univariate analysis was performed using Chi-square test with Bonferroni correction, and a binary Logistic regression model was constructed to identify influencing factors. Meanwhile, reliability and validity tests, endogeneity tests (instrumental variable method and propensity score matching) and heterogeneity tests were conducted. ResultsAmong the eight satisfaction sub-dimensions, six presented significant inter-group differences, with Bonferroni correction (threshold = 0.00625). Following binary Logistic regression and endogeneity correction, significant inter-group heterogeneity was confirmed in dimensions such as size and shape. For the affordability dimension, the main effect of self-care ability was not statistically significant, yet prominent urban-rural heterogeneity was observed. Specifically, taking the fully independent (self-care) group as the reference, the fully dependent group attached significantly greater importance to safety (B = 0.253, P < 0.001), comfort (B = 0.153, P = 0.001) and ease of use (B = 0.316, P < 0.001); the partially dependent group showed the highest level of attention to lightweight (B = 0.094, P = 0.027) and durability (B = 0.254, P < 0.001); and the fully independent group demonstrated a relatively stronger preference for aesthetics. ConclusionStratified functional demands, driven by self-care ability, exist in the satisfaction of individuals with functional impairments with assistive devices in China. The policy formulation and product design of assistive devices should shift to a precision-oriented paradigm: prioritize the guarantee of safety, comfort and ease of use for fully dependent groups, optimize lightweight performance and durability for partially dependent groups, enhance aesthetics and social acceptance for fully independent groups, roll out price subsidy policies for urban price-sensitive groups, and strengthen the supply of core functional services for rural groups. This approach will comprehensively improve the adaptation effectiveness of assistive devices and the well-being of users.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of children with head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and to summarize the mid-long term efficacy of Beijing Children′s Hospital Rhabdomyosarcoma 2006 (BCH-RMS-2006) regimen and China Children′s Cancer Group Rhabdomyosarcoma 2016 (CCCG-RMS-2016) regimen.Methods:A retrospective cohort study. Clinical data of 137 children with newly diagnosed head and neck RMS at Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2013 to December 2021 were collected. Clinical characteristic of patients at disease onset and the therapeutic effects of patients treated with the BCH-RMS-2006 and CCCG-RMS-2016 regimens were compared. The treatments and outcomes of patients with recurrence were also summarized. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method, and Log-Rank test was used for comparison of survival rates between groups.Results:Among 137 patients, there were 80 males (58.4%) and 57 females (41.6%), the age of disease onset was 59 (34, 97) months. The primary site in the orbital, non-orbital non-parameningeal, and parameningeal area were 10 (7.3%), 47 (34.3%), and 80 (58.4%), respectively. Of all patients, 32 cases (23.4%) were treated with the BCH-RMS-2006 regimen and 105 (76.6%) cases were treated with the CCCG-RMS-2016 regimen. The follow-up time for the whole patients was 46 (20, 72) months, and the 5-year progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates for the whole children were (60.4±4.4)% and (69.3±4.0)%, respectively. The 5-year OS rate was higher in the CCCG-RMS-2016 group than in BCH-RMS-2006 group ((73.0±4.5)% vs. (56.6±4.4)%, χ2=4.57, P=0.029). For the parameningeal group, the 5-year OS rate was higher in the CCCG-RMS-2016 group (61 cases) than in BCH-RMS-2006 group (19 cases) ((57.3±7.6)% vs. (32.7±11.8)%, χ2=4.64, P=0.031). For the group with meningeal invasion risk factors, the 5-year OS rate was higher in the CCCG-RMS-2016 group (54 cases) than in BCH-RMS-2006 group (15 cases) ((57.7±7.7)% vs. (30.0±12.3)%, χ2=4.76, P=0.029). Among the 10 cases of orbital RMS, there was no recurrence. In the non-orbital non-parameningeal RMS group (47 cases), there were 13 (27.6%) recurrences, after re-treatment, 7 cases survived. In the parameningeal RMS group (80 cases), there were 40 (50.0%) recurrences, with only 7 cases surviving after re-treatment. Conclusions:The overall prognosis for patients with orbital and non-orbital non-parameningeal RMS is good. However, children with parameningeal RMS have a high recurrence rate, and the effectiveness of re-treatment after recurrence is poor. Compared with the BCH-RMS-2006 regimen, the CCCG-RMS-2016 regimen can improve the treatment efficacy of RMS in the meningeal region.

Background The prevalence of low back pain among workers using vibrating tools in the automobile manufacturing industry is high; however, research on associated risk factors remains limited. Objective To investigate the association between use of vibrating tools and low back pain among automobile manufacturing workers, and to estimate related population attributable risk percentage (PAR%). Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the Chinese Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire among workers with over one year of service in an automobile manufacturing enterprise. Workers were categorized into an exposed group (vibrating tool users) and a control group (non-users) based on their use of vibrating tools during work. The variables showing statistically significant differences between the two groups were selected as covariates for matching by 1∶2 nearest-neighbor propensity score. Chi-square test was used to compare the prevalence of low back pain between the matched exposed and control groups. Log-binomial regression model was employed to calculate the prevalence ratio (PR), and the PAR% of low back pain attributable to vibrating tool use was subsequently determined. Results A total of 6973 valid questionnaires were collected, comprising 5676 males and 1297 females, with an overall low back pain prevalence of 40.3% (2809/6973). The exposed group included 1255 workers (1134 males, 121 females), with a mean age of (44.2 ± 8.7) years and a mean tenure in the current position of (23.5 ± 9.9) years; the matching control group consisted of 2510 workers (2279 males, 231 females), with a mean age of (44.7 ± 8.6) years and a mean tenure in the current position of (24.0 ± 10.0) years. The prevalence of low back pain was 76.7% (963/1255) in the exposed group, significantly higher than the 29.9% (750/2510) in the control group (P<0.001). The log-binomial regression analysis showed a PR of 2.57 (95%CI: 2.28, 2.90) for the exposed group, with a PAR% of 22.03%. Conclusion The use of vibrating tools among automobile manufacturing workers is positively associated with reporting low back pain. Implementing effective measures to mitigate vibration hazards is crucial for reducing the burden of low back pain in this population.
