Objective:
To investigate the vitamin D levels in children aged 1 year in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the basis for prevention and treatment of vitamin D deficiency in children and promoting their health.
Methods:
The 1-year-old children who underwent health examinations at the Department of Child Health Care of Shaoxing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from September 2023 to August 2024 were selected. Basic information of the children was collected through the medical record information system, and their length and weight were measured. The length, weight and nutritional status were evaluated according to the Technical Specifications for the Management of Nutritional Diseases in Children. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25- (OH) D] levels were measured using electrochemiluminescence assay, and vitamin D levels were assessed based on the fifth edition of Child Health Care. The vitamin D levels were analyzed among the children with different genders, testing months, and growth status.
Results:
A total of 2 245 children were recruited, including 1 189 boys (52.96%) and 1 056 girls (47.04%). The median serum 25- (OH) D level was 39.98 (interquartile range, 16.63) ng/mL. Vitamin D insufficiency was observed in 279 children, with an insufficiency rate of 12.43%. The median serum 25- (OH) D level in boys was 39.26 (interquartile range, 17.75) ng/mL, which was lower than that in girls at 41.39 (17.75) ng/mL (P<0.05). The vitamin D insufficiency rate was 13.04% in boys and 11.74% in girls, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). The lowest vitamin D insufficiency rate was observed in August at 4.95%, while the highest rate was in September at 23.89%, showing the statistically significant difference across testing months (P<0.05). The children with above-average length ratings, higher weight ratings and obesity had higher vitamin D insufficiency rates, at 17.29%, 20.86% and 20.88%, respectively. The vitamin D insufficiency rate increased with higher weight and nutritional status ratings (both P<0.05), but no significant change was observed with higher length ratings (P>0.05).
Conclusions
The vitamin D insufficiency rate among 1-year-old children in Shaoxing City was 12.43%, with variations observed in different testing months, weight and nutritional status. Targeted prevention and intervention measures should be implemented to address these differences.

Objective:
To evaluate the effect of Triangle hierarchical management among community patients with hypertension, so as to provide insights into the improvements of standardized hypertension management.
Methods:
Patients with newly diagnosed hypertension from 2 community health service centers in Qiantang District of Hangzhou City by the end of 2020 were randomly assigned to the conventional group and the Triangle group. Patients in the conventional group were given health management services according to the requirements of basic public health service standard for one year, while patients in the Triangle group were given Triangle hierarchical management. The blood pressure, self-management behaviors, treatment compliance, smoking, alcohol consumption and exercise were collected using the self-management behavior scale, treatment compliance scale and self-designed questionnaires, and were compared before and after intervention with analysis of covariance and generalized estimation equations.
Results:
Totally 200 patients with hypertension were recruited, including 100 patients in the conventional group and 100 patients in the Triangle group. There were no significant differences between the two groups before implementation of interventions in terms of gender, age, educational level or occupation (P>0.05). The reduction in blood pressure, increase in the score of treatment, diet, exercise and living habitat management and the total score of self-management behaviors, increase in the score of adherence to medication regimens, daily living management behaviors, smoking and alcohol consumption preference and the total score of treatment compliance, and increase in the number of patients with normal standard of quitting smoking, quitting alcohol consumption, exercise and blood pressure were significantly higher in the Triangle group than in the conventional group after intervention (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Triangle hierarchical management may increase the treatment compliance, improve the self-management behavior and facilitate hypertension control among hypertensive patients, which may be popularized for health management among community patients with hypertension.

Objective? To apply the evidence related to daytime surgery management and care into clinical practice, enhance the evidence-based compliance in perioperative management for daytime surgery in ophthalmology, and improve the quality of clinical nursing. Methods? Quality control indicators were developed based on the best existing evidence using the clinical evidence practice application of Joanna Briggs Institutions (JBI) from September 2017 to July 2018. Totally 39 nurses and 322 patients were included before the patients were transferred into the daytime ward, and 39 nurses and 345 patients enrolled after the patients were transferred into the daytime ward. The baseline was reviewed, the evidence was applied, and the effects were evaluated after the application of evidence. Results? The implementation rate of 10 quality control indicators after evidence application was improved by 35%-100%, including informational control of waiting time for surgery, intraoperative continuous support, and standardized discharge evaluation. Patients' waiting time for surgery was shortened from (178.70±18.34) min to (89.22±12.89) min; their surgical compatibility and discharge readiness were improved from (1.74±0.96) to (2.56±0.66) and from (89.88±11.15) to (94.02±12.96) respectively; their length of hospital stay was shortened from (336.11±29.65) min to (180.08±19.80) min, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups (P<0.01). Conclusions? The use of the best evidence can improve perioperative management behavior for ophthalmological daytime surgery as well as the quality of clinical care in ophthalmology.
