Objective:
Review the independent risk factors of postoperative recurrence in surgical treatment of bladder cancer patients to construct a model of bladder cancer recurrence.
Methods :
A total of 240 surgically treated bladder cancer patients were followed up for at least 1 year and divided into recurrence ( n = 54) and non⁃recurrence (n = 186) . The general data of patients were comparative analyzed , and the different and statistically significant data were further analyzed by ROC curve , and the statistically significant data were included in the multivariate analysis after logistic obtaining univariate analysis results. Risk factors were included in the model construction , and the model correction curve and clinical net benefit analysis were analyzed. The model could be used to predict postoperative recurrence in bladder cancer patients.
Results:
The ROC curves of the statistically significant continuous variables were analyzed in the general data , and the results showed that the AUC of PNI , BLCA⁃4 , BTA , NMP22 and CEA were 0. 932 , 0. 979 , 0. 998 , 0. 677 and 0. 981 , respectively , and the optimal truncation values were ≤40. 18% , > 140. 04 ng/mg , ≤7. 22 U/mg , > 7. 68 μg/mg , and > 1. 99 ng/mg, respectively. Statistically significant data from univariate analysis were incorporated into the logistic regression model , and the results showed that PNI ≤40. 18% , BLCA⁃4 > 140. 04 ng/mg , BTA≤7. 22 U/mg , NMP22 > 7. 68 μg/mg was a risk factor for recurrence in patients with bladder cancer. Subsequently , PNI , BLCA⁃4 , BTA , and NMP22 were incorporated into the construction of the model as predictors of recurrence in patients with bladder cancer. Based on the model correction curve and clinical net benefit analysis , the internal verification results showed that the C ⁃index of the model predicting bladder cancer recurrence was 0. 296 (95% CI: 0. 078 - 1. 329) . The calibration curve showed good consistency between the observed and predicted values. The model predicted a risk threshold > 0. 128 for patients with bladder cancer, and the model provided a clinical net benefit; in addition , the model had a higher clinical net benefit than PNI ,BLCA⁃4 , BTA , and NMP22.
Conclusion
The model correction curve and clinical net benefit analysis , the results of internal verification show that the model can be used to predict recurrence in patients with bladder cancer.

Objective:To investigate public health-related professions' recruit requirements and understand the training scheme for preventive medicine-majored undergraduates in colleges and universities in China.Methods:An online questionnaire was adopted to collect data on the recruit requirements of public health-related professions. Information on the core courses, internship, and practical training for preventive medicine-majored undergraduates was collected through universities' official websites.Results:The employers had a high requirement for education and specific majors. Also, administration professions attached importance to comprehensive quality, while professional positions to professional skills. 47.2% (67/142) employers made Talent Introduction Programs for the next three years. 20.0% (3/15) universities offered all the core courses required by national standards. For internship and practical training, both clinical practice and professional practice's median durations were 16 and 11 weeks, respectively.Conclusion:Employers showed significant demand for public health graduates and having a high requirement for personal ability and comprehensive quality. The universities should improve the setting of core courses and strengthen students' practical ability and overall quality.

Objective:To understand the basic qualities, practitioners will and related influences, of undergraduate, master, and doctoral students majoring in public health (hereinafter referred to as public health students), and explore the influencing factors of practitioners will.Methods:Through the online questionnaire survey, we collected information on the basic qualities of the public health students, their practitioners will and related influencing factors, and their opinions on the current state of public health in China. χ 2 test and multi-factor logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of public health students' willingness to engage in public health related work, and word frequency analysis was used to conduct a descriptive analysis of public health students' views on public health in China. Results:A total of 2 081 pieces of valid information were collected, of which 86.54% (1 801/2 081) of the students in the school chose to engage in public health related work in the future. For public health students, the higher the target after-tax monthly income ( OR=0.345, 95% CI: 0.158-0.751), the lower the willingness to engage in public health related work in the future; Very satisfied with school employment guidance work ( OR=4.072, 95% CI: 1.234-13.436) compared with very dissatisfied, the willingness to engage in public health related work in the future is higher. Conclusion:The willingness of students in public health related majors to engage in public health related majors in China is mainly affected by three factors: payment levels, employment guidance and professional post recognition. It is recommended to appropriately raise the salaries of public health related positions. Strengthening school employment guidance training and professional identity training is conducive to enhancing the willingness of public health students to engage in relevant work in their profession.

Objective:To understand the employment situation of graduates of public health-related majors and explore the associated factors of turnover intention among public health practitioners in China.Methods:In April 2020, the convenient sampling method was used to recruit public health related graduates from 98 universities with public health-related majors from 31 provinces in China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) and from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (only including working or unemployed status, no requirement for graduation years). A total of 1 322 questionnaires were collected, of which 1 165 (88.1%) were valid. Through the network questionnaire survey, the information of public health graduates′ work situation, job satisfaction and turnover intention were collected. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the associated factors of turnover intention, and structural equation model was constructed to explore the correlation between turnover intention and job satisfaction.Results:The age of 1 165 graduates was (28.1 ±4.8) years. Among them, 719 (61.7%) were female and 856 (73.5%) graduates were engaged in public health-related work after graduation. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with those over 30 years old, graduates under 30 years old had higher turnover intention ( OR=2.531, 95% CI: 1.549-4.155). Compared with those with junior or no title, graduates with senior title had higher turnover intention ( OR=2.310, 95% CI: 1.047-5.162). The results of structural equation model analysis showed that the four factors of job satisfaction, ‘salary and welfare’, ‘promotion development’, ‘work itself’, and ‘internal and external environment’, were negatively correlated with turnover intention. The internal and external environment had the greatest impact on turnover intention (total effect =-0.539). Conclusion:Most graduates of public health-related majors are engaged in public health-related work in China. Age, professional title and job satisfaction are the associated factors of turnover intention.

In this study,thermosensitive and repairable molecularly imprinted solid-phase microextraction fibers were synthesized using spiramycin as template molecule,methacrylic acid and N-isopropylacrylamide as functional monomers,ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinking agent,and silanized quartz capillary as carrier. The prepared molecularly imprinted solid-phase microextraction fibers were characterized by scanning electron microscope and nitrogen adsorption/desorption,and various parameters affecting the extraction efficiency were optimized. Due to high selectivity and sensitivity of the fibers for macrolide antibiotics,the quantitative analysis of four macrolide antibiotics in food matrix,spiramycin,tilmicosin,tylosin,and josamycin,was peroformed in combination with high performance liquid chromatography. In the range of 0.5 to 50 μg/mL,the chromatographic peak area showed a good linear relationship with the concentration. The spike recoveries of the samples at three different addition levels were between 81.8% and 119.1%;the inter-day precisions were less than 13.8% (n=6),and the intra-day precisions were less than 15.5% (n=3).

Since the first outbreak of avian influenza A(H7N9) virus in humans was identified in 2013, there have been five seasonal epidemics observed in China. An earlier start and a steep increase in the number of humans infected with H7N9 virus was observed between September and December 2016, raising great public concern in domestic and international societies. The epidemiological characteristics of the recently reported confirmed H7N9 cases were analysed. The results suggested that although more cases were reported recently, most cases in the fifth epidemic were still highly sporadically distributed without any epidemiology links; the main characteristics remained unchanged and the genetic characteristics of virus strains that were isolated in this epidemic remained similar to earlier epidemics. Interventions included live poultry market closures in several cities that reported more H7N9 cases recently.
