Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and practicality of the Jaundice color card (JCard) as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice.Methods:Following the standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statement, a multicenter prospective study was conducted in 9 hospitals in China from October 2019 to September 2021. A total of 845 newborns who were admitted to the hospital or outpatient department for liver function testing due to their own diseases. The inclusion criteria were a gestational age of ≥35 weeks, a birth weight of ≥2 000 g, and an age of ≤28 days. The neonate′s parents used the JCard to measure jaundice at the neonate′s cheek. Within 2 hours of the JCard measurement, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured with a JH20-1B device and total serum bilirubin (TSB) was detected. The Pearson′s correlation analysis, Bland-Altman plots and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistic analysis.Results:Out of the 854 newborns, 445 were male and 409 were female; 46 were born at 35-36 weeks of gestational age and 808 were born at ≥37 weeks of gestational age. Additionally, 432 cases were aged 0-3 days, 236 cases were aged 4-7 days, and 186 cases were aged 8-28 days. The TSB level was (227.4±89.6) μmol/L, with a range of 23.7-717.0 μmol/L. The JCard level was (221.4±77.0) μmol/L and the TcB level was (252.5±76.0) μmol/L. Both the JCard and TcB values showed good correlation ( r=0.77 and 0.80, respectively) and agreements (96.0% (820/854) and 95.2% (813/854) of samples fell within the 95% limits of agreement, respectively) with TSB. The JCard value of 12 had a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.75 for identifying a TSB ≥205.2?μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.35 for identifying a TSB ≥342.0?μmol/L. The TcB value of 205.2?μmol/L had a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.60 for identifying TSB levels of 205.2 μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.26 for identifying TSB levels of 342.0 μmol/L. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of JCard for identifying TSB levels of 153.9, 205.2, 256.5, and 342.0 μmol/L were 0.96, 0.92, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. The AUC of TcB were 0.94, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively. There were both no significant differences between the AUC of JCard and TcB in identifying TSB levels of 153.9 and 205.2 μmol/L (both P>0.05). However, the AUC of JCard were both lower than those of TcB in identifying TSB levels of 256.5 and 342.0 μmol/L (both P<0.05). Conclusions:JCard can be used to classify different levels of bilirubin, but its diagnostic efficacy decreases with increasing bilirubin levels. When TSB level are ≤205.2 μmol/L, its diagnostic efficacy is equivalent to that of the JH20-1B. To prevent the misdiagnosis of severe jaundice, it is recommended that parents use a low JCard score, such as 12, to identify severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB ≥342.0 μmol/L).

Objective :
To investigate the awareness of nutritional health knowledge regular unpaid blood donors in Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide insights into nutrition and health education among unpaid blood donors.
Methods:
The regular unpaid blood donors were sampled using a convenient sampling method from Zhoushan Central Blood Station from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. The nutritional health knowledge was investigated using the Chinese Nutrition Health Knowledge Questionnaire for Adults compiled by Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the awareness and source of nutritional health knowledge was descriptively analyzed.
Results:
Totally 526 questionnaires were allocated, and 502 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 95.44%. The respondents included 240 men (47.81%) and 262 women (52.19%), and included 343 individuals at ages of 18 to 44 years (68.33%), and 159 individuals at ages of 45 years and older (31.67%). The overall awareness of nutritional health knowledge was 14.54% among regular unpaid blood donors in Zhoushan City, and a higher awareness was seen among female regular unpaid blood donors (17.56%) than among males (11.25%) (P<0.05), while the awareness of nutritional health knowledge was significantly higher among respondents at ages of 18 to 44 years than among those at ages of 45 years and older (16.91% vs. 9.43%, P<0.05). The awareness of nutritional health knowledge was significantly higher among respondents with an educational level of junior college and above than among those with an educational level of high school/technical secondary school/technical school (17.24% vs. 12.22%, P<0.05), and the awareness was significantly higher among respondents with healthcare-related occupations than among those with other occupations (16.44% vs. 14.22%, P<0.05). Wechat, Weibo, Tik Tok and Kuaishou were main routes to obtain nutritional health knowledge (83.86%).
Conclusions
The awareness of nutritional health knowledge is low among regular unpaid blood donors in Zhoushan City. Men, middle-aged and elderly residents and residents with a low educational level are targets that should be given a high priority for nutritional health education, and new media may be fully utilized for nutritional health education.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different small monitor unit (MU) beam deletion optimization method in the CyberKnife treatment planning system on the calculated planned dose to brain tumors.Methods:A total of 17 patients with brain metastases treated in our hospital from June, 2021 to February, 2022 were selected for this study. A treatment plan was designed for each patient using the multiPlan system in the CyberKnife VSI system as the group without optimization. To improve the efficiency, the generated original plans should be optimized first by deleting some small MUs, forming an experience group and an optimization group for each patient. For the experience group, beams below 30 MU were deleted according to experience. For the optimization group, beams below the MU value calculated based on the second derivative method were deleted. Finally, the parameters of the two groups were statistically compared. The main evaluation parameters included the node number, the beam number, the total number of MUs, the estimated treatment duration, doses to 2% and 95% planning target volumes (PTV D2 and PTV D95), average dose to PTV ( Dmean), average dose to brain tissue ( Dmean-Brain), conformity index (CI), new conformity index (nCI), gradient index (GI), coverage, and the maximum doses to the brainstem and left and right lens ( Dmax-BS, Dmax-LL, and Dmax-RL), and the average doses to the dose shells 20 mm and 40 mm away from PTV (Shell20 and Shell40). Results:The two optimization method met the requirements for the prescription dose delivery to more than 98% PTV. There were statistical differences in the node number ( H = 7.97, P< 0.05) and estimated treatment duration ( H = 6.60, P < 0.05) among the group without MP optimization, the experience group, and the optimization group, with the estimated treatment duration and node number of the optimization group less than those of the group without MP optimization ( P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in other parameters among the three groups ( P > 0.05). The PTV was moderately positively correlated with the treatment duration ( r=0.79, P < 0.01) and beam number ( r=0.78, P < 0.01) of the experience group, and was also moderately positively correlated with the treatment duration ( r=0.69, P < 0.01) and beam number ( r=0.71, P < 0.01) of the optimization group. Conclusions:For the CyberKnife planning of heads, the small MU beam deletion optimization method based on the second derivative can further shorten the treatment duration while ensuring no significant differences in the distribution of doses to organs at risk and targets. Moreover, this method is more effective in optimizing the plans for a large PTV volume.
