Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is closely related to epileptic seizure, which is a common clinical manifestation or even the only symptom at acute phase of AE. Most patients do not develop seizures after treatment at acute or subacute stages, and these patients are classified as acute symptomatic seizures secondary to AE (ASSAE). Only a minority of patients will eventually develop autoimmune associated epilepsy (AAE). At present, no unified standard for clinical diagnosis is noted between ASSAE and AAE, but some differences exist in definition, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment. This paper summarizes the similarities and differences between ASSAE and AAE in the above aspects, aiming at providing help for clinicians to differentiate the diagnosis of the two diseases.

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of medication therapy management(MTM) on symptom improvement and medication adherence in depressed female patients, and to explore the depression severity and adherence characteristics of female patients of different ages. METHODS A total of 180 female depressed patients from February 2022 to July 2022 were recruited and randomly divided into two groups according to age and depression severity: the control group and the management group,with 90 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were given conventional therapy, while those in the management group were given MTM on top of conventional therapy. The self-rating depression scale(SDS)was applied at enrollment and 3 months after treatment to assess symptom improvement in both groups, and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale- 8(MMAS-8) was applied at the end of 4, 8 and 12 weeks of treatment to compare adherence differences between the two groups, and subgroup analysis was performed based on stratification factors. RESULTS A total of 147 patients completed all assessments and follow-up, and there was no statistically significant difference in drop-out rate between the control group and the management group(χ2=3.006, P=0.083). Patients who dropped-out with different depression severity were compared with those who did not, with a statistically significant difference(χ2=13.927, P=0.001). For the comparison of SDS scores by age group, the highest SDS scores before and after treatment were found in adolescence, followed by menopause, and the lowest in childbearing age, with statistically significant differences(P<0.05). The SDS scores of each subgroup of different age groups and each subgroup of different depression severity in the management group were lower than those of the corresponding groups in the control group, with statistically significant differences except for the menopausal subgroup and the mild subgroup(P<0.05). The overall compliance score of 176 patients was (5.69±1.37) points. In the full assessment the adherence scores were the highest in childbearing, followed by adolescence, and the lowest and the lowest in menopause, with statistically significant difference(χ2=6.61, P=0.037). The adherence scores of the different age groups were higher in the management group than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences in adolescence(χ2=25.573, P<0.001), childbearing age(χ2=7.772, P=0.005)and menopause(χ2=19.776, P<0.001) for the full assessment. Except for the 1st and 2nd follow-up in childbearing age, there were statistically significant differences between management group and control group at three age groups in the three follow-up visits(P<0.05). CONCLUSION The depression severity in female depressed patients varies by age, with the heaviest in adolescence and the least severe in childbearing age. The overall level of medication adherence is low in female patients. The adherence is highest in childbearing age and lowest in menopause. MTM boasts to be effective in promoting symptom improvement and adherence in female depressed patients of different ages.

Objective:
To understand the changing trend and influencing factors of health literacy among residents in Hangzhou from 2016 to 2020, so as to provide basis for health literacy promotion.
Methods:
The monitoring data of health literacy of residents in Hangzhou from 2016 to 2020 were collected. The five year cumulative growth and average growth rate were used to reflect the changing trend. The multivariate logistic regression model under complex survey design was used to analyze the influencing factors for health literacy.
Results:
From 2016 to 2020, the health literacy levels of Hangzhou residents were 26.91%, 29.49%, 31.83%, 34.73% and 38.00%, respectively. The five year cumulative growth was 11.09% and the average growth rate was 9.01%. Among three aspects of health literacy, the levels of basic knowledge and concept as well as healthy lifestyle and behaviors increased year by year (P<0.05), with the average growth rates of 15.12% and 2.92%. Among six types of health problems, the levels of chronic disease prevention and treatment, basic medical treatment, scientific view, health information as well as safety and first aid increased year by year ( P<0.05 ), with the average growth rates of 32.76%, 15.82%, 8.41%, 7.12% and 1.53%, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that education level ( junior high school, OR=5.359, 95%CI: 1.151-24.953;high school/vocational high school/technical secondary school, OR=9.214, 95%CI: 2.906-29.213; college or above, OR=29.977, 95%CI: 9.689-92.741 ) and occupation ( students, OR=2.564, 95%CI: 1.113-5.907 ) were the influencing factors for health literacy.
Conclusion
The health literacy levels of Hangzhou residents from 2016 to 2020 have been increasing year by year. The residents with higher education levels and students may have higher health literacy levels.

Objective:To explore the effect of radiofrequency heating on the morphology of articular cartilage in the knee and the expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the synovium using a rabbit model of knee osteoarthritis (OA).Methods:Fifty-four male rabbits had OA induced in their right hind limbs using the modified Hulth method. They were then randomly divided into a model group, a cervus and cucumis polypeptide (CCP) group and a radiofrequency thermotherapy (RT) group, each of 18. The CCP group was injected with deer melon peptide intramuscularly every day, while the RT group was given daily radiofrequency hyperthermia treatment at 36.5-38.5 ℃. The model group was not provided with any special treatment. On the 6th, 12th and 18th day of the treatment, 6 rabbits in each group were sacrificed to resect the right femur′s medial condyle cartilage. The morphological characteristics of the cartilage were evaluated using modified Mankins scoring, while the contents of lL-1B and TNF-a in the synovial membrane were detected using enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assays.Results:The average Mankins scores and the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α decreased significantly at each time point, and significant differences were observed among the three groups. In the RT group the average Mankins score as well as the IL-1β and TNF-α levels decreased significantly with time throughout the experiment.Conclusions:Radiofrequency hyperthermia is superior to the injection of deer melon polypeptide in knee osteoarthritis, at least in rabbits. The therapeutic mechanism may be related to the control of IL-1β and TNF- α levels in the synovial membrane.

To explore the mode of"one-day outpatient"based continuous management and examine its feasibility and preliminary effects for improving menopausal syndrome and mood among menopausal women.Clinical intervention study was conducted in Obstetrics and Gynecology Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from May 2020 to May 2021.The continuous management mode of "one-day outpatient service" for menopause was constructed in terms of multidisciplinary resources, including offline "one-day outpatient" health education, online 7-week group continuous intervention on "healthy lifestyle" and offline half-day focus group interview. Pre-and post-scores of the modified Kupperman scale and the positive/negative emotional scale (PANAS) were measured to compare the status of menopausal syndrome and emotional experience of Seventy-eight female participants (40-60 years old), meanwhile, before and after comparison of the blood lipid and body composition indexes of participants were also performed. Paired t test or Wilcoxon signed rank test were used.Results show that the pre-and post Kupperman scores were 14.65±8.51 vs 10.26±5.83 ( t=-5.59, P<0.01), and the positive emotional scores (pre- 28.53±5.85 vs post- 30.13±6.30) were improved ( t=2.59, P=0.012) and negative emotional scores [pre- 20.5(10) vs post- 17.0(7)] were decreased ( Z=-5.09, P<0.01). The triglyceride level of participants declined from (1.27±0.54) mmol/L to (1.09±0.38) mmol/L ( t=-2.45, P<0.05). In addition, the body mass index(pre- 22.52±2.34 vs post- 22.06±2.22), percentage of body fat (pre- 31.72±6.22 vs post- 30.91±6.52)and Visceral fat area(pre- 83.96±30.26 vs post- 79.66±29.71) were all improved ( t=-3.58, t=-2.57, t=-2.59, P<0.05). Therefore,the mode of"one-day outpatient"based continuous management can effectively improve menopausal syndrome and adverse mood, reduce patients′ blood lipid, improve the body composition, and maybe contribute to the prevention of long-term chronic diseases.

Objective:
To learn the current situation of smoking among permanent residents aged 15 years and over in Hangzhou,so as to provide evidence for further smoking control.
Methods:
From March to June of 2017,multi-stage random sampling method was used to select residents aged 15 years and over in Hangzhou from district (county),town (street),village (residential committee) and then residential groups. The global Adult Tobacco Survey (part of China) questionnaire was used to investigate smoking,second-hand smoking and smoking cessation status of residents. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for smoking and quitting behaviors.
Results:
A total of 1 440 questionnaires were sent out and 1 434 valid ones were recovered,with an response rate of 99.58%. There were 359 (25.03%) current smokers and 333 (23.22%) daily smokers. The median number was 15 cigarettes per day in daily smokers,and the median age of starting daily smoking was 21 years old. There were 670 (62.33%) people exposed to second-hand smoking. There were 137 (27.62%) people successfully quitting smoking. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that men (OR=73.459,95%CI:38.970-138.458), 50 years old or above (OR:1.646-2.632,95%CI:1.020-4.710),primary school education (OR=3.267,95%CI: 1.586-6.732),high school or vocational school education (OR=1.902,95%CI: 1.109-3.261),awareness of second-hand smoking hazards (OR=2.485,95%CI:1.735-3.559) were the influencing factors for current smoking;men (OR=64.454,95%CI:29.031-138.691),50-59 years old (OR=0.281,95%CI:0.095-0.827),primary school education (OR=0.211,95%CI:0.053-0.841) were the influencing factors for quitting smoking.
Conclusions
The rates of current smoking and second-hand smoking of permanent residents aged 15 years and over in Hangzhou were 25.03% and 62.33%,respectively. Gender,age and education level were associated with current smoking and quitting smoking.
