ObjectiveTo adapt the Stanford Expectations of Treatment Scale(SETS) into Chinese(C-SETS) and test the feasibility, validity and reliability of its application in patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome(IBS-D) with liver-constraint and spleen-deficiency syndrome treated with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). MethodsWe obtained authorisation from the developer of the SETS, and followed the principle of "two-way translation" to translate the SETS by literal translation and back translation to form the C-SETS. Ninety-six IBS-D patients with liver-constraint and spleen-deficiency syndrome were enrolled as respondents and filled out C-SETS before receiving treatment; the feasibility was assessed by the recall rate, completion rate and the duration of filling out the scale; the reliability was assessed by Cronbach's α; the structural validity was assessed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and the content validity was assessed by correlation analysis. ResultsThe C-SETS consists of 10 items, with the 1st, 3rd, and 5th rating items constituting the Positive Expectations subscale, and the 2nd, 4th, and 6th rating items constituting the Negative Expectations subscale, each of which is rated on a 7-point Likert Scale. The recall of C-SETS was 100%(96/96), the completion rate was 89.58%(86/96); Cronbach's α for the Positive and Negative Treatment Expectations subscales were 0.845 and 0.854, respectively; exploratory factor analysis showed that the coefficient of commonality for all six entries was larger than 0.4, and that the six entries could be used by both factors to explain 77.092% of the total variance; validation factor analysis showed that the goodness-of-fit index, comparative fit index, root mean square of approximation error, canonical fit coefficient, and chi-square degrees of freedom ratio took the values of 0.943, 1.003, 0, 0.943, and 0.626, respectively; and the results of Spearman's analysis suggested that the C-SETS had good content validity. ConclusionThe C-SETS has well feasibility, reliability, and validity, which initially proves that it can be used as a tool to assess the treatment expectation of patients with IBS-D with liver-constraint and spleen-deficiency syndrome before receiving TCM treatment.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of postoperative coping style of patients with esophageal cancer.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From July 2018 to July 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 65 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent radical surgery for esophageal cancer in a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Henan Province as the research object. The General Information Questionnaire and the Chinese version of the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ) were used to investigate the patients one day before the patients were discharged. Single factor analysis was used to analyze influencing factors. A total of 65 questionnaires were distributed and 65 valid questionnaires were returned with the valid response rate of 100%.Results:The results of single factor analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the confrontation dimension scores of patients with different ages, education levels, and family monthly income per capita ( P<0.05) . There were statistically significant differences in the avoidance dimension scores of patients with different genders and ages ( P<0.05) . There were statistically significant differences in the resignation dimension scores of patients with different ages, occupational status, and family monthly income per capita ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Age, gender, occupational status, education level, and family monthly income per capita are the influencing factors of postoperative coping style of patients with esophageal cancer. Medical and nursing staff can take targeted intervention measures based on their influencing factors and guide patients to adopt a positive coping style to face the disease.

Objective:
To analyze the prevalence of obesity and its influencing factors among residents aged 40 years and over in Taizhou,so as to provide reference for obesity prevention and control.
Methods:
From June 2014 to May 2015,people who were aged 40 years or above and received routine physical examination in six centers for disease control and prevention in Taizhou were recruited. Demographic characteristics and health relates behaviors were collected by a questionnaire survey;height,weight,waist circumference and hip circumference were collected by physical examination. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors for overall obesity and central obesity.
Results :
Totally 1 216 people were investigated,and 1 192 (98.03%) questionnaires were valid. The age of them ranged from 40 to 86 years old,with (51.92±8.91) years old on average. There were 547 males (45.89%) and 645 females (54.11%). The prevalence rates of overall obesity and central obesity were 6.54% and 60.32%,respectively. The Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that regular physical exercise (OR=0.597, 95%CI: 0.359-0.992) was a protective factor for overall obesity;female (OR=2.352,95%CI: 1.685-3.283)was a risk factor of central obesity;public servants or staff from enterprise and institution(OR=0.508, 95%CI: 0.289-0.892),drinking (OR=0.637,95%CI:0.471-0.860),salt intake of less than five grams per day (OR=0.590,95%CI:0.434-0.802)and regular physical exercise (OR=0.760,95%CI:0.583-0.991) were protective factors for central obesity.
Conclusion
The prevalence rates of overall obesity and central obesity among residents aged 40 years or above in Taizhou were 6.54% and 60.32%, respectively. Gender,occupation,drinking,salt intake and physical exercise were the influencing factors for obesity.

Objective To investigate the effects and the possible mechanism of Ganglioside-1 (GM1) and rehabilitation on neurologic behaviors of rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Methods 48 immature rats developed as model of HIBD were divided into 5 groups: control group, GM1 group, rehabilitation training group (R group), GM1+R group, and sham group. They were evaluated with Climb, Slope and Water Maze Tests. The expressions of activated caspase-3 in neurons were detected with immunohistochemistry. Results The achievement of Climb and Slope Test were significantly different among groups (P<0.001), which ranked as the sham group> GM1+R group> R group> GM1 group> control group (P<0.05). The latency of Water Maze Test was significantly different among groups (P<0.01),which was longer in the control and GM1 groups than in the sham group (P<0.05). The activated caspase-3 expressed in hippocampus and frontal cortex was less in the GM1 and R groups than in the sham group (P<0.05), more in the GM1 group, R group and GM1+R group than in the control group in hippocampus (P<0.05), more in the R group and GM1+R group than in the control group in frontal cortex (P<0.05).The expression of activated caspase-3 in both hippocampus and frontal cortex correlated with the achievement of Climb and Slope Test (P<0.05), but not with the latency of Water Maze Test (P>0.05). Conclusion Rehabilitation training and GM1 are effective on recovery of neural function in rats with HIBD with synergia, which may associated with the activated caspase-3 in terminal synapse.
