Objective:To investigate the current status of endoscopic treatment for gastroesophageal varices in portal hypertension in China, and to provide supporting data and reference for the development of endoscopic treatment.Methods:In this study, initiated by the Liver Health Consortium in China (CHESS), a questionnaire was designed and distributed online to investigate the basic condition of endoscopic treatment for gastroesophageal varices in portal hypertension in 2022 in China. Questions included annual number and indication of endoscopic procedures, adherence to guideline for preventing esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB), management and timing of emergent EGVB, management of gastric and isolated varices, and improvement of endoscopic treatment. Proportions of hospitals concerning therapeutic choices to all participant hospitals were calculated. Guideline adherence between secondary and tertiary hospitals were compared by using Chi-square test.Results:A total of 836 hospitals from 31 provinces (anotomous regions and municipalities) participated in the survey. According to the survey, the control of acute EGVB (49.3%, 412/836) and the prevention of recurrent bleeding (38.3%, 320/836) were major indications of endoscopic treatment. For primary [non-selective β-blocker (NSBB) or endoscopic therapies] and secondary prophylaxis (NSBB and endoscopic therapies) of EGVB, adherence to domestic guideline was 72.5% (606/836) and 39.2% (328/836), respectively. There were significant differences in the adherence between secondary and tertiary hospitals in primary prophylaxis of EGVB [71.0% (495/697) VS 79.9% (111/139), χ2=4.11, P=0.033] and secondary prophylaxis of EGVB [41.6% (290/697) VS 27.3% (38/139), χ2=9.31, P=0.002]. A total of 78.2% (654/836) hospitals preferred endoscopic therapies treating acute EGVB, and endoscopic therapy was more likely to be the first choice for treating acute EGVB in tertiary hospitals (82.6%, 576/697) than secondary hospitals [56.1% (78/139), χ2=46.33, P<0.001]. The optimal timing was usually within 12 hours (48.5%, 317/654) and 12-24 hours (36.9%, 241/654) after the bleeding. Regarding the management of gastroesophageal varices type 2 and isolated gastric varices type 1, most hospitals used cyanoacrylate injection in combination with sclerotherapy [48.2% (403/836) and 29.9% (250/836), respectively], but substantial proportions of hospitals preferred clip-assisted therapies [12.4% (104/836) and 26.4% (221/836), respectively]. Improving the skills of endoscopic doctors (84.2%, 704/836), and enhancing the precision of pre-procedure evaluation and quality of multidisciplinary team (78.9%, 660/836) were considered urgent needs in the development of endoscopic treatment. Conclusion:A variety of endoscopic treatments for gastroesophageal varices in portal hypertension are implemented nationwide. Participant hospitals are active to perform emergent endoscopy for acute EGVB, but are inadequate in following recommendations regarding primary and secondary prophylaxis of EGVB. Moreover, the selection of endoscopic procedures for gastric varices differs greatly among hospitals.

Objective:To analyze the outcomes of extremely preterm infants (EPIs) after the implementation and quality improvement of an intervention program from the prenatal period to delivery room and the factors influencing the mortality of EPIs.Methods:This was a retrospective study involving 185 EPIs admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2021. The intervention program from the prenatal period to delivery room was implemented in our hospital in January 2018, according to which, EPIs who were admitted before this time were grouped as the historical group ( n=45) and those who were admitted after as the program group ( n=140). The survival rate and morbidity of the two groups were analyzed and compared using t test, Mann Whitney U test, and Chi-square test. The factors influencing the mortality of EPIs were analyzed by univariate screening and logistic regression. Results:(1) The median gestational age of these EPIs was 26 +6 weeks, ranging from 23 +3 to 27 +6 weeks, and the median birth weight was 950 g, ranging from 390 g to 1 290 g. (2) After the intervention, the proportion of patients in whom the neonatologists were involved in prenatal consultation, women who received a full course of antenatal corticosteroid and magnesium sulfate, and cesarean delivery as well as the neonatal temperature on admission to NICU all increased significantly [77.1% (108/140) vs 8.9% (4/45); 67.9% (95/140) vs 35.6% (16/45); 67.1% (94/140) vs 48.9% (22/45); 44.3% (62/140) vs 17.8% (8/45); 36.6 ℃ (36.3-36.9 ℃) vs 35.2 ℃ (35.0-35.3 ℃), respectively, χ2 or Z values were 66.41, 14.81, 4.85, 10.17 and-9.34, respectively, all P<0.05]. Both delayed cord clamping (DCC) and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) were included in the intervention program, with implementation rates from zero before to 67.9% (95/140) and 89.3%(125/140), respectively. Compared to the historical group, the proportion of infants with 1-minute Apgar score ≤3, endotracheal intubation in the delivery room or mechanical ventilation within 72 h after birth were decreased in the program group [7.1% (10/140) vs 17.8% (8/45), 37.1% (52/140) vs 73.3% (33/45), 38.6% (54/140) vs 57.8% (26/45), χ2 values were 4.39, 17.96 and 5.12, respectively. all P<0.05]. (3) After the intervention, the overall survival rate of EPIs and that among those with gestational age from 27 to 27 +6 weeks were significantly improved [72.9% (102/140) vs 53.3% (24/45), OR=2.349, P=0.015; 84.1% (53/63) vs 56.6% (13/23), OR=4.077, P=0.007]. Although the incidence of periventricular and intraventricular hemorrhage, late-onset sepsis, and retinopathy of prematurity showed a downward trend, the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05) (4) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that 1-minute Apgar score ≤3 ( OR=8.890, 95% CI:2.005-39.412), low 5-minute Apgar score ( OR=1.468, 95% CI:1.103-1.953), and higher rate of mechanical ventilation within 72 h ( OR=7.165, 95% CI:2.942-17.449) were independent risk factors for the mortality of EPIs; and using nCPAP in the delivery room ( OR=0.314, 95% CI:0.137-0.719) and birth weight ( OR=0.996, 95% CI:0.993-0.999) were protective factors. Conclusions:Early interventions for EPIs in the prenatal period or the delivery room, the quality improvement program, including intrapartum temperature management, DCC, and nCPAP, is likely to improve the survival rate and outcome of EPIs.

Objective:With the development of digital technology, network technology and mobile technology, new media aided-teaching has become a hot topic in medical teaching. However, the studies about the application of new media aided-teaching in training for professional postgraduates of neurosurgery are still less studied.Methods:In this study, 24 Batch 2015-2016 professional postgraduates of neurosurgery from Neurosurgery Department of Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University were divided into the test group and control group, with 12 students in each group. From September 2016 to August 2018, students in the test group were taught with conventional teaching and various new media such as WeChat official accounts, professional video sharing websites and so on. The control group adopted conventional teaching methods. Students' theoretical knowledge, operation ability and clinical research ability were assessed between the two groups. SPSS 22.0 software was used for t test and descriptive statistics on the data.Results:The results of t test analysis showed that the scores of theoretical knowledge and general ability in test group were higher than those in control group, with significant differences ( P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the scores of teaching satisfaction, professional interest, teaching participation, knowledge mastery and scientific research ability in the test group were higher than those in the control group, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Conventional teaching combined with new media aided-teaching is a good new training model for professional postgraduates of neurosurgery, which has improved students' participation and motivation of study and contributed to the training of medical students' comprehensive abilities.

Objective:
To explore the relationship among cognitive flexibility, depression and eating attitude of adolescents and the influencing factors of eating attitude.
Methods:
A total of 1 231 subjects were assessed using general information questionnaire, Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale 11 item(KADS-11), Cognitive Flexibility Inventory(CFI), Eating Attitude Test 26(EAT-26). Data were analyzed by independent sample t-test, univariate linear regression, spearman correlation analysis and Logistic regression.
Results:
There were significant differences in EAT 26 among adolescents between genders and between those with or without depression(P<0.01). Statistically significant differences were observed in CFI, flexible control and KADS 11 among adolescents with or without eating disorders(P<0.01). The scores of EAT 26 was negatively correlated with CFI (r=-0.19, P<0.01) and flexible control(r=-0.23, P<0.01). And there was a significant positive correlation between EAT 26 and KADS 11(r=0.23, P<0.01). Female(OR=2.40, 95%CI=1.87-3.23), depression (OR=1.76, 95%CI=1.35-2.29) and poor flexible control (OR=1.94, 95%CI=1.48-2.54) were risk factors for eating disorders.
Conclusion
Female, individuals with depressive symptoms or with poor flexible control ability are more likely to have eating disorders which need more attention.
