Health communication aims to improve public health attitudes and behaviors by propagating health information. It plays an important role in promoting public health literacy and "Healthy China Initiative". The basic theories of health communication include "7 W" and Theory of Planned Behavior. Clinicians with profound medical expertise and a wealth of clinical practice play key roles in the communication, and they hold an unparalleled advantage in health communication by delivering authoritative and trustworthy information to the public. The capacity of health communication among clinicians in the nation is determined by various factors including professional characteristics, policy support, dissemination platforms and pathways, time and effort. Meanwhile, some problems in the research on the health communication capacity of clinicians remain, such as lack of well-established motivation systems, limited dissemination pathways, and imperfect evaluation frameworks. In some regions of China, health communication performance has been considered as part of the professional title evaluation for clinical physicians. Medical institutions and universities have also initiated relevant training and practice programs. It is crucial to improve evaluation frameworks, strengthen training pathways and effectiveness assessment, promote interdisciplinary integration, and enhance the role of clinicians in health communication in the future.

Objective:To investigate the changes of exam scores of retrained peritoneal dialysis (PD) operators (patients, family members, or nannies) with an internal of one year during COVID-19 epidemic and provide basis for targeted training.Methods:It was a cross-sectional survey study. The maintenance PD patients who participated in two trainings with an interval of one year during COVID-19 epidemic from November 1, 2019 to February 28, 2021 in Department of Nephrology in Peking University People's Hospital were enrolled. During COVID-19 epidemic, retraining was extended from once every six months to once a year. The clinical data were collected, the self-designed training exam score table including theoretical knowledge and operational skills assessment was used to investigate the exam scores of two trainings, and the total exam scores and sub-item scores of PD operators before and after one year were compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the associated factors of the reduction of exam scores.Results:A total of 59 patients were enrolled, with 35 males (59.32%), age of (58.41±14.52) years, and dialysis duration of 42 (12, 84) months. There were 54 patients (91.53%) operating by themselves, 22 operators (37.29%) having college degree or above, and 35 operators (59.32%) having decreased exam scores. The total exam scores were 83.17±7.90 and 80.61±8.20 before and after one year, respectively ( t=2.732, P=0.008). In the six contents of itemized scoring, compared with one year ago, the exam scores of complication treatment ( t=4.928, P<0.001) and self-monitoring ( t=3.222, P=0.002) were significantly decreased. There was no statistically significant difference in the exam scores of environment and hygiene, dialysate replacement operation, exit nursing and diet before and after one year (all P>0.05). The total exam scores in patients with dialysis duration <12 months and 36-60 months after one year were significantly lower than before one year ( t=2.309, P=0.041; t=3.086, P=0.009). There was no statistically significant difference in the exam scores of PD operators with dialysis duration of 12-<36 months and >60 months before and after one year (both P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that dialysis duration was an independent associated factor of exam scores reduction (dialysis duration 36-60 months/>60 months, OR=6.233, 95% CI 1.035-37.529, P=0.046). Conclusions:During COVID-19 epidemic, the reduced frequency of retraining reduces the training exam scores of PD operators, especially in patients with dialysis duration of 36-60 months. The weak points are focused on complication management and self-monitoring. Training should be strengthened for key patients and key contents if regular retraining is not possible due to special circumstances.

Objectives:To analyze the long-term prognosis of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer in the stage of ypT0~2N0M0 after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods:The clinical data of 78 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical resection at ypT0~2N0M0 stage from January 2012 to December 2019 in the Department of Abdominal Surgery/Pancreatic and Gastric Surgery of the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the overall survival and disease-free survival, and the survival difference between patients with postoperative ypT0N0M0 and ypT1~2N0M0 was compared. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed on clinical, pathologic and treatment measures that may affect survival.Results:Among the 78 patients, there were 18 cases (23.1%) with ypT0N0M0, 14 cases (17.9%) with ypT1aN0M0, 17 cases (21.8%) with ypT1bN0M0, and 29 cases (37.2%) with ypT2N0M0. Median follow-up time was 74.1 (19.8~132.5) months. Fourteen patients (17.9%) had tumor recurrence and metastasis, and 9 patients died from tumor recurrence and metastasis. The 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival rates were 84.4% and 87.8%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in 5-year overall survival (86.9% vs 87.8%) or 5-year disease-free survival (88.9% vs 83.2%) between patients with ypT0N0M0 and ypT1~2N0M0. Analysis of factors that may affect prognosis revealed that signet ring cell carcinoma, nerve invasion, and lymph node dissection of fewer than 16 were significantly associated with prognosis ( P<0.05). Multivariate Cox analysis including these three factors showed that only lymph node dissection of fewer than 16 was an independent risk factor affecting prognosis (OS: HR=10.44 ,95% CI: 2.15-50.72, P=0.004; DFS: HR=11.47, 95% CI: 2.85-46.20, P=0.001). Conclusions:The long-term prognosis of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer at ypT0~2N0M0 stage after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is relatively good, and the long-term survival time of patients with ypT1~2N0M0 and ypT0N0M0 is similar. Lymph node dissection of less than 16 nodes may be an independent risk factor affecting prognosis. During surgery, efforts should be made to increase the number of lymph node dissections. For patients with less than 16 nodes dissected, postoperative treatment and follow-up should be strengthened.

Background::The potential impact of pre-existing coronary artery stenosis (CAS) on acute pulmonary embolism (PE) episodes remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the association between pre-existing CAS and the elevation of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) levels in patients with PE.Methods::In this multicenter, prospective case-control study, 88 cases and 163 controls matched for age, sex, and study center were enrolled. Cases were patients with PE with elevated hs-cTnI. Controls were patients with PE with normal hs-cTnI. Coronary artery assessment utilized coronary computed tomographic angiography or invasive coronary angiography. CAS was defined as ≥50% stenosis of the lumen diameter in any coronary vessel >2.0 mm in diameter. Conditional logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between CAS and hs-cTnI elevation.Results::The percentage of CAS was higher in the case group compared to the control group (44.3% [39/88] vs. 30.1% [49/163]; P = 0.024). In multivariable conditional logistic regression model 1, CAS (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.680; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.243–5.779), heart rate >75 beats/min (OR, 2.306; 95% CI, 1.056–5.036) and N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) >420 pg/mL (OR, 12.169; 95% CI, 4.792–30.900) were independently associated with elevated hs-cTnI. In model 2, right CAS (OR, 3.615; 95% CI, 1.467–8.909) and NT-proBNP >420 pg/mL (OR, 13.890; 95% CI, 5.288–36.484) were independently associated with elevated hs-cTnI. Conclusions::CAS was independently associated with myocardial injury in patients with PE. Vigilance towards CAS is warranted in patients with PE with elevated cardiac troponin levels.

Objective:To demonstrate the type of CEBPA gene mutations among patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), clinical characteristics, and prognostic effect on patient outcomes.Methods:Demographic data, clinical features, laboratory characteristics, and data about treatment and follow-up of 57 patients with CEBPA mutated AML diagnosed at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between April 2016 and November 2022 were collected and analyzed.Results:In total, 57 patients with CEBPA mutation accounted for 16.1% of all the 353 patients with AML, among which 28 patients had CEBPA-bZIPinf and 29 had CEBPA-other. Compared with the CEBPA-other group, the CEBPA-bZIPinf group was younger (54 vs 64 years, P=0.010), de novo AML was more common ( P=0.001), and the level of bone marrow blast was higher (68.0% vs 36.3%, P=0.001). Moreover, 24 patients from the CEBPA-bZIPinf group and 19 from the CEBPA-other group received chemotherapy. The one-course complete remission (CR) rate of the CEBPA-bZIPinf group was significantly higher than that of the CEBPA-other (87.5% vs 47.4%, P=0.010) and CEBPA-wt (87.5% vs 50.3%, P=0.002) groups. After a median follow-up of 11 months, the median OS of the CEBPA-bZIPinf group was significantly longer than that of the CEBPA-wt group (not reached vs 22.1 months, P=0.012) . Conclusion:CEBPA-bZIPinf mutated AML is a unique clinical entity, with a younger age of diagnosis, better response to chemotherapy, and better prognosis.
