Objective:To explore the psychometric characteristics of the Chinese version of the health-related social capital scale.Methods:From March to May 2020, after the original scale was translated into Chinese following the Brislin improved translation model, 251 community-dwelling senior citizens aged 65 and above were selected by convenient sampling method. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0, including tests of significance, correlation analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis.Results:Exploratory factor analysis extracted three factors: social participation, social cohesion, and reciprocity, which accounted for a cumulative contribution rate of 61.72%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the three-factor model fitted well(χ 2/ df=1.22, RMSEA=0.04, CFI=0.98, GFI=0.93, IFI=0.98, TLI=0.97). Social capital was significantly correlated with perceived social support positively ( r=0.36, P<0.01), and with loneliness negatively ( r=-0.30, P<0.01). The three factors were significantly correlated with the total scale ( r=0.85, 0.50 and 0.52, respectively, all P<0.01). And correlations between the items of each factor were 0.24-0.55, 0.30-0.59, 0.44-0.70, respectively(all P<0.01). The Cronbach's α coefficients of the total scale and three factors were 0.74, 0.72, 0.65 and 0.62, respectively(all P<0.01), and their retest reliability were 0. 92, 0. 87, 0. 82 and 0. 96, respectively(all P<0.01). Conclusion:The Chinese version of health-related social capital scale conforms to the three-factor model with good reliability and validity, which can be used to assess the social capital status of community-dwelling older adults in China.

Objective:To evaluate the compliance of colonoscopy screening and the detection rate of colorectal lesions with colonoscopy in urban areas of Henan province from 2013 to 2019.Methods:The study objects were derived from the Cancer Screening Program in Urban Henan Province, China. From October 2013 to October 2019, 282 377 residents, who had lived in the local area for more than three years, were recruited from Zhengzhou, Zhumadian, Anyang, Luoyang, Nanyang, Jiaozuo, Puyang and Xinxiang. The cancer risk assessment questionnaire was used to collect basic demographic characteristics, eating habits, living environment and habits, psychology and emotions, past disease history and family history of cancer, and women′s physiological and reproductive history. The cancer risk assessment model was used for evaluating the risk of colorectal cancer. The data related to colonoscopy screening was obtained from the participating hospitals. Chi-square test was used to analyze the compliance rate among different groups.Results:The 282 377 subjects were (55.26±8.68) years old, of which 44.80% (126 505) were males, and 67.63% (190 694) had junior/senior/tertiary education background. A total of 39 834 (14.11%) subjects were assessed to be at high risk for colorectal cancer, of which 7 454 took the following colonoscopy screening, yielding a participation rate of 18.71%. The screening rate was higher in those aged 50 to 54 (20.42%) and 55 to 59 (20.43%) years, and lowest in those aged 70 years and older (12.30%) ( P<0.001). A total of 17 colorectal cancer cases were detected, with a detection rate of 0.23% (17/7 454). Conclusion:Colonoscopy as a means of screening for colorectal cancer is helpful for early detection of colorectal lesions, but the participation rate is poor.

Objective:To explore the effect of problem-oriented evidence-based nursing on postoperative neurological complications in patients with aortic dissection aneurysm (ADA) .Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 82 ADA patients who underwent surgical treatment in Henan Provincial People's Hospital were selected as the research objects from September 2018 to May 2020. They were randomly divided into the study group and the control group, with 41 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing intervention, while the study group was given problem-oriented evidence-based nursing intervention based on routine nursing. The incidence of postoperative neurological complications in ADA patients was compared between the two groups.Results:The incidence of postoperative neurological complications in the study group was 4.88% (2/41) , lower than 24.39% (10/41) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The problem-oriented evidence-based nursing model can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative neurological complications in ADA patients.

Objective:To observe the effect of early exercise intervention on the corticospinal tract of rats with cerebral infarction.Methods:Eighteen male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sedentary group (SED), a 1 day later exercise group (1D) and a 1 week later exercise group (1W), each of 6. A modified Longa′s method was used to occlude the middle cerebral artery to model a stroke. Rats in the 1D and 1W groups started exercising 1 day and 1 week after the modeling, while those in the sedentary group were placed on a stationary treadmill for 30 minutes every day. Modified neurological severity scores (mNSSs) were used to quantify neurological functioning after 1, 4 and 8 weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to calculate the infarct volume ratio, and diffusion tensor imaging was used to detect the fractional anisotropy ratio (rFA) of the corticospinal tract for correlation with the mNSS scores. The corticospinal cord′s morphology was observed using DTT.Results:After 1 week the average mNSS score of the 1D group was significantly lower than the other two groups′ averages. At 4 weeks the average mNSS scores of both the 1D and the 1W group were significantly lower than the sedentary group′s average. At 8 weeks the 1D group′s average mNSS score was significantly lower than those of the other two groups, while that of the 1W group was significantly lower than the sedentary group′s average. At 1 and 4 weeks after modeling the average infarct volume ratio in the 1D group was significantly lower than those of the other groups. By 4 weeks the average infarct volume ratio of the 1W group was significantly lower than that of the sedentary group, and by 8 weeks the average infarct volume ratios of both the 1D and 1W groups was significantly lower than that of the sedentary group. After 1 week the average rFA of the 1D group was significantly lower than that of the sedentary group, but by 4 weeks the averages of the 1D group and the 1W group were both significantly higher than the sedentary group′s average. At 8 weeks the 1D group′s average rFA was significantly above that of the 1W group and of the sedentary group, and that of the 1W group was significantly higher than that of the sedentary group. After 8 weeks the corticospinal tracts in the 1D group appeared to be more symmetrical than those of the other 2 groups. The rFA results correlated strongly with the mNSS scores ( r=-0.707). Conclusions:Exercise can promote corticospinal cord remodeling and improve neurological function after cerebral infarction, at least in rats. It should be started as early as possible.

Objective:To explore effects of four postures nursing on oxygen partial pressure, pain and comfort degree of affected limbs in patients with lower extremity atherosclerotic occlusive disease (LEAOD) .Methods:A total of 357 patients with LEAOD who were admitted in Henan Provincial People's Hospital of Henan University from March 2018 to February 2019 were selected as the research objects by convenient sampling. All patients were respectively treated with four postural nursing methods, including supine position, sitting position, lower limb ptosis position and lower limb elevation position. The differences in oxygen partial pressure, pain value and comfort level of patients in different posture nursing states were compared.Results:Among 357 patients, 106 patients had no pain. Compared with the other three positions, the oxygen partial pressure level of the lower limb elevated position was the lowest, and the pain score and comfort score were the highest. The differences among the groups were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . The oxygen partial pressure level of lower limb ptosis position was the highest, and the pain score and comfort score were significantly lower than the other three positions. The differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Among the four postures, the changes of oxygen partial pressure in sitting position and lower limb ptosis position were the most significant, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=145.433, P<0.01) . Conclusions:In the nursing of supine position, sitting position, lower limb ptosis position and lower extremity elevation position, lower extremity ptosis position has a more obvious improvement effect on oxygen partial pressure, comfort degree and pain value of patients with LEAOD compared with the other three positions. However, long-term prolapse of the affected limbs can easily cause blood stasis and discomfort symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to set a reasonable nursing method and time for the affected limbs according to the condition of patients.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the current status of diagnosis and management of acute appendicitis (AA) in China. METHODS: Questionnaire survey was used to retrospectively collect data of hospitalized patients with AA from 43 medical centers nationwide in 2017 (Sort by number of cases provided: Jinling Hospital of Medical School of Nanjing University, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, Lu'an People's Hospital, Tengzhou Central People's Hospital, Dalian Central Hospital, The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, Dongying People's Hospital, Jinjiang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Huangshan Shoukang Hospital, Xuyi People's Hospital, Nanjing Jiangbei People's Hospital, Lanzhou 940th Hospital of PLA, Heze Municipal Hospital, The First College of Clinical Medical Science of China Three Gorges University, Affiliated Jiujiang Hospital of Nanchang University, The Second People's Hospital of Hefei, Affiliated Central Hospital of Shandong Zaozhuang Mining Group, The Third People's Hospital of Kunshan City, Xuzhou First People's Hospital, The 81st Group Army Hospital of PLA, Linyi Central Hospital, The General Hospital of Huainan Eastern Hospital Group, The 908th Hospital of PLA, Liyang People's Hospital, The 901th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, The Fourth Hospital of Jilin University, Harbin Acheng District People's Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Nanjing Luhe People's Hospital, Taixing Municipal People's Hospital, Baotou Central Hospital, The Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, Linyi People's Hospital, The 72st Group Army Hospital of PLA, Zaozhuang Municipal Hospital, People's Hospital of Dayu County, Taixing City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Suzhou Municipal Hospital, Beijing Guang'anmen Hospital, Langxi County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Nanyang Central Hospital, The Affiliated People's Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University).The diagnosis and management of AA were analyzed through unified summary. Different centers collected and summarized their data in 2017 and sent back the questionnaires for summary. RESULTS: A total of 8 766 AA patients were enrolled from 43 medical centers, including 4 711 males (53.7%) with median age of 39 years and 958 (10.9%) patients over 65 years old. Of 8 776 patients, 5 677 cases (64.6%) received one or more imaging examinations, and the other 3 099 (35.4%) did not receive any imaging examination. A total of 1 858 (21.2%) cases received medical treatment, mainly a combination of nitroimidazoles (1 107 cases, 59.8%) doublet regimen, followed by a single-agent regimen of non-nitroimidazoles (451 cases, 24.4%), a nitroimidazole-free doublet regimen (134 cases, 7.2%), a triple regimen of combined nitroimidazoles (116 cases, 6.3%), nitroimidazole alone (39 cases, 2.1%) and nitroimidazole-free triple regimen (3 cases, 0.2%). Of the 6 908 patients (78.8%) who underwent surgery, 4 319 (62.5%) underwent laparoscopic appendectomy and 2589 (37.5%) underwent open surgery. Ratio of laparotomy was higher in those patients under 16 years old (392 cases) or over 65 years old (258 cases) [15.1%(392/2 589) and 10.0%(258/2 589), respectively, compared with 8.5%(367/4 316) and 8.0%(347/4 316) in the same age group for laparoscopic surgery, χ²=91.415, P<0.001; χ²=15.915,P<0.001]. Patients with complicated appendicitis had higher ratio of undergoing open surgery as compared to those undergoing laparoscopic surgery [26.7%(692/2 589) vs. 15.6%(672/4 316), χ²=125.726, P<0.001].The cure rates of laparoscopic and open surgery were 100.0% and 99.8%(2 585/2 589) respectively without significant difference (P=0.206). Postoperative complication rates were 4.5%(121/2 589) and 4.7%(196/4 316) respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (χ²=0.065, P=0.799). The incidence of surgical site infection was lower (0.6% vs. 1.7%, χ²=17.315, P<0.001), and hospital stay was shorter [6(4-7) days vs. 6(5-8) days, U=4 384 348.0, P<0.001] in the laparoscopic surgery group, while hospitalization cost was higher (median 12 527 yuan vs. 9 342 yuan, U=2 586 809.0, P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The diagnosis of acute appendicitis is still clinically based, supplemented by imaging examination. Appendectomy is still the most effective treatment at present. Laparoscopic appendectomy has become the main treatment strategy, but anti-infective drugs are also very effective.
