Published: September 2022

Background and aimsEndoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an advanced minimally invasive technique for en bloc resection of superficial gastrointestinal lesions, which is drawn an increasing attention from its emergence. This bibliometric analysis is to evaluate the origin, current hotspots, and research trends on ESD.MethodsA total of 2,131 publications on ESD from 2006 to 2020 were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. Bibliometric visualization analyses of countries/regions, institutes, authors, journals, references and keywords were performed by CiteSpace V.5.8.R3.ResultsThe quantity of publications on ESD increased significantly during the past 15 years. Japan occupied the leading position in terms of research power. Professor Yutaka Saito, together with the institute he belongs, the Endoscopy Division, National Cancer Center Hospital, Tokyo, Japan, were the most productive author and institute, respectively. Colorectal ESD led the main thematic concentrations in ESD research. The most prolific journal was Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. European ESD Guideline was the most frequently co-cited reference. Guideline, meta-analysis, endoscopic resection, poly-glycolic acid sheet, Barrett's esophagus, fibrin glue, risk and colorectal neoplasm will be the active research hotspots in the future.ConclusionsThese findings provide the trends and frontiers in the field of ESD, as well as valuable information for clinicians and scientists to discover the future perspectives with potential collaborators.

BackgroundIn the context of global climate changes, increasing extreme weather events have aroused great public concern. Limited evidence has focused on the association between extreme precipitation and hospitalizations for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Our study aimed to examine the effect of extreme precipitation on AMI hospitalizations.MethodsDaily AMI hospitalizations, weather variables and air pollution data in Beijing from 2013 to 2018 were obtained. We used a time-series analysis with a distributed lag model to evaluate the association of extreme precipitation (≥95th percentile of daily precipitation) with AMI hospitalizations. Subgroup analysis was conducted to identify the vulnerable subpopulations and further assessed the attributable burden.ResultsExtreme precipitation increased the risk of AMI hospitalizations with significant single-day effects from Lag 4 to Lag 11, and the maximum cumulative effects at Lag 0–14 (CRR = 1.177, 95% CI: 1.045, 1.326). Older people (≥65 years) and females were more vulnerable to extreme precipitation. The attributable fraction and numbers of extreme precipitation on AMI hospitalizations were 0.68% (95% CI: 0.20%, 1.12%) and 854 (95% CI: 244, 1,395), respectively.ConclusionExtreme precipitation is correlated with a higher risk of AMI hospitalizations. The elderly (≥65 years) and females are more susceptible to AMI triggered by extreme precipitation.

BackgroundA compassionate and respectful care during pregnancy and childbirth is one of the essential components of safe motherhood. However, most of the women in developing countries experience disrespectful and abusive maternity care during childbirth. Hence, this study assessed the status of respectful maternity care and associated factors to bridge the gap.MethodologyFacility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among mothers who delivered in public Hospitals in the Hadiya Zone, South Ethiopia from March 01 to 30, 2020. Data were collected using a pretested questionnaire through face-to-face interviews. Descriptive statistics was computed and multivariable logistic regression was fitted to identify predictors. Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) with 95% Confidence Interval was used to show the strength of association and level of significance was declared at P-value &lt; 0.05.ResultThis study showed that 67.8 % (95% CI: 62.4–70.8%) of mothers received respectful maternal care. Being married [AOR: 2.17, 95% CI (1.03–6.93)], Cesarean section delivery [AOR: 2.48, 95% CI (1.03–5.97)], and absence of complications during child birth [AOR: 4.37, 95% CI (1.41–13.56)], were significantly associated with respectful maternity care.ConclusionsThe level of RMC in this study was moderate. Being married, Cesarean section delivery, and absence of complications during child birth were identified predictors of respectful maternity care. Therefore, tailored interventions aimed at improving respectful maternity care should target unmarried women, and women with complications of labor regardless of mode of delivery.

Published: September 2022

BackgroundChina advocates a health insurance system with social health insurance (SHI) as the main body and private health insurance (PHI) as the supplement. The study of PHI's complementary role in health is conducive to providing evidence for PHI's policy expansion and encouraging the public to participate in PHI, which is insufficient in China.MethodsWe used the three-wave balanced panel data of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (CHARLS). Taking the ownership of supplementary PHI as the independent variable and EQ-5D index scores as the dependent variable, the panel instrumental variable (IV) method was used to analyze the impact of participation in PHI on health. We also assessed the heterogeneity of the health effects of PHI between chronic and non-chronic disease groups and between low- and high-income groups.ResultsThe coverage rate of PHI at baseline was 10.53%. The regression results showed that participating in PHI on the basis of SHI could result in an additional 8.21% health gain (p &lt; 0.001). At the same time, PHI had greater health gain for chronic disease population than for healthy population (9.25 vs. 6.24%, p &lt; 0.001), and greater health gain for high-income population than for low-income population (8.32 vs. 5.31%, p &lt; 0.001).ConclusionParticipating in supplementary PHI can effectively enhance the health status of the insured, and has a more significant effect on patients with chronic diseases. The development of PHI should be further supported, while the health inequality in different income groups should be paid attention to.

ObjectivesThis study aims to explore the interaction of different pathogens in Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) by using a mathematical epidemiological model and the reported data in five regions of China.MethodsA cross-regional dataset of reported HFMD cases was built from four provinces (Fujian Province, Jiangsu province, Hunan Province, and Jilin Province) and one municipality (Chongqing Municipality) in China. The subtypes of the pathogens of HFMD, including Coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16), enteroviruses A71 (EV-A71), and other enteroviruses (Others), were included in the data. A mathematical model was developed to fit the data. The effective reproduction number (Reff) was calculated to quantify the transmissibility of the pathogens.ResultsIn total, 3,336,482 HFMD cases were collected in the five regions. In Fujian Province, the Reff between CV-A16 and EV-A71&amp;CV-A16, and between CV-A16 and CV-A16&amp;Others showed statistically significant differences (P &lt; 0.05). In Jiangsu Province, there was a significant difference in Reff (P &lt; 0.05) between the CV-A16 and Total. In Hunan Province, the Reff between CV-A16 and EV-A71&amp;CV-A16, between CV-A16 and Total were significant (P &lt; 0.05). In Chongqing Municipality, we found significant differences of the Reff (P &lt; 0.05) between CV-A16 and CV-A16&amp;Others, and between Others and CV-A16&amp;Others. In Jilin Province, significant differences of the Reff (P &lt; 0.05) were found between EV-A71 and Total, and between Others and Total.ConclusionThe major pathogens of HFMD have changed annually, and the incidence of HFMD caused by others and CV-A16 has surpassed that of EV-A71 in recent years. Cross-regional differences were observed in the interactions between the pathogens.

ObjectiveTo compare the clinical outcomes of unilateral biportal endoscopy/biportal endoscopic spinal surgery (UBE/BESS) via the posterior approach with those of interlaminar endoscopic lumbar discectomy (IELD) for the treatment of L5/S1 lumbar disc herniation.MethodsWe collected the clinical data of patients with L5/S1 lumbar disc herniation who had undergone endoscopic surgery at our center from January 2020 to July 2021, and 92 patients were included. They were divided into UBE/BESS (n = 42) and IELD (n = 50) groups. The incision length, operative time (overall operative, extracanal operative, and intracanal decompression times), intraoperative radiation exposure dose, changes in hemoglobin before and after surgery, postoperative hospital stay, visual analog scale (VAS) score for low back pain and leg, and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were statistically analyzed.ResultsOne case incurred dural tear in the UBE/BESS group, and one case developed recurrence in the IELD group. Postoperatively, the VAS score and ODI index decreased significantly in both groups (P &lt; 0.01). VAS and ODI scores (preoperative as well as 3 days, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery), the overall operative time, and postoperative hospital stay were not significantly different between the two groups (P &gt; 0.05). No statistical difference in intraoperative radiation exposure dose was noted between the two groups (P &gt; 0.05). The surgical incision length was greater in the UBE/BESS group (P &lt; 0.01), and pre- and postoperative hemoglobin changes were more pronounced in the UBE/BESS group (P &lt; 0.01). The UBE/BESS group had a longer extracanal operative time and shorter intracanal decompression time (P &lt; 0.01).ConclusionsThe clinical efficacy of UBE/BESS for L5/S1 lumbar disc herniation is comparable to that of IELD. Intraoperative radiation exposure doses were similar in both techniques. UBE/BESS required more time to identify tissue structures and a larger working space when operating outside the spinal canal; however, the efficiency of nucleus pulposus removal and nerve root release inside the spinal canal superseded that in IELD. Furthermore, the surgical incision in the UBE/BESS technique was longer, with greater actual blood loss during surgery, thus rendering UBE/BESS inferior to the IELD technique in terms of surgical trauma. Nonetheless, no significant difference was noted between the two techniques in the postoperative recovery time of patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the safety, efficacy, and selection strategy of laparoscopic local gastrectomy for stromal tumors in the esophagogastric junction.MethodsThirty-eight patients with mesenchymal tumors in the esophagogastric junction were retrospectively enrolled from April 2018 to July 2021 in which the upper edge of the tumor is less than 2 cm from the Z-line or has invaded the Z-line &lt;1/2 circumference. Surgical outcomes, complications, recover, and postoperative gastroesophageal reflux of both groups were compared.Results27 patients underwent wedge resection, and 11 underwent resection by opening all of the layers of the stomach wall. Operative time (90.0 vs. 181.8 min, respectively, P = 0.001) was shorter for the WR group vs. RASW. Blood loss (20 vs. 50 ml, respectively, P = 0.012) was less for the WR group vs. RASW. Recovery of the RASW group was slower in terms of time to pass gas (2 vs. 3 days, P = 0.034), time to oral intake (2 vs. 4 days, P = 0.007), time to semi-liquid food intake (4 vs. 8 days, P = 0.003), and postoperative hospitalization (5 vs. 8 days, P = 0.001) vs. WR. In terms of short-term complications (≤30 days), no significant between-group differences were observed. Cardia stenosis did not occur in either group. In the WR group, one patient experienced mild reflux at 6 months and recovered 1 year after surgery. In the RASW group, one patient experienced severe gastroesophageal reflux at 6 months and 1 year after surgery, which was not entirely relieved by taking antacids. No other patients have gastroesophageal reflux.ConclusionLaparoscopic local gastrectomy is safe and feasible for mesenchymal tumors in the esophagogastric junction in which the upper edge of the tumor is less than 2 cm from the Z-line or has invaded the Z-line &lt;1/2 circumference, and has achieved an excellent short-term effect. The choice of surgery is based on the relationship between the tumor and the position of the cardia.

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are ubiquitous in the environment, which is of concern since they are broadly toxic for wildlife and human health. It is generally accepted that maternal prenatal folic acid supplementation (FA) may beneficially impact offspring development, but it has been recently shown that the father's exposures also influence the health of his offspring. Bone is an endocrine organ essential for whole-body homeostasis and is susceptible to toxicants. Herein, we tested the hypotheses that prenatal paternal exposure to POPs induces developmental bone disorders in fetuses across multiple generations and that FA supplementation attenuates these disorders. We used a four-generation rat model, in which F0 founder females were divided into four treatment groups. F0 females were gavaged with corn oil or an environmentally-relevant POPs mixture and fed either a control diet (2 mg FA/kg), or FA supplemented diet (6 mg FA/kg) before mating and until parturition (four treatments in total). After the birth of the F1 litters, all F0 females and subsequent generations received the FA control diet. Staining with alcian blue and alizarin red S of male and female fetal skeletons was performed at Gestational Day 19.5. Paternal direct and ancestral exposure to POPs delayed bone ossification and decreased the length of long limb bones in fetuses. Maternal FA supplementation did not counteract the POPs-associated delayed fetal ossification and reduced long bone length. In conclusion, prenatal paternal POPs exposure causes developmental bone abnormalities over multiple generations, which were not corrected by maternal FA supplementation.

Objectives: To investigate the co-occurrence of 4 behavioral health risk factors (BHRFs), namely tobacco smoking, alcohol at-risk drinking, physical inactivity and unhealthy diet and their association with sick days prior to hospitalization in general hospital patients.Methods: Over 10 weeks (11/2020-04/2021), all 18-64-year-old patients admitted to internal medicine, general and trauma surgery, and otorhinolaryngology wards of a tertiary care hospital were systematically approached. Among 355 eligible patients, 278 (78.3%) participated, and 256 (72.1%) were analyzed. Three BHRF sum scores were determined, including current tobacco smoking, alcohol use, physical inactivity and 1 of 3 indicators of unhealthy diet. Associations between BHRF sum scores and sick days in the past 6 months were analyzed using multivariate zero-inflated negative binomial regressions.Results: Sixty-two percent reported multiple BHRFs (≥2). The BHRF sum score was related to the number of sick days if any (p = 0.009) with insufficient vegetable and fruit intake as diet indicator.Conclusion: The majority of patients disclosed multiple BHRFs. These were associated with sick days prior to admission. The findings support the need to implement interventions targeting multiple BHRFs in general hospitals.

BackgroundThe health workforce is critical to strengthening district health services (DHS). In the public sector of South Africa, medical officers (MOs) are essential to delivering services in primary health care (PHC) and district hospitals. Family physicians, responsible for clinical governance, identified their retention as a key issue.AimTo evaluate factors that influence retention of MOs in public sector DHS.Design & settingA descriptive survey of MOs working in DHS, Western Cape, South Africa.MethodAll 125 MOs working in facilities associated with the Stellenbosch University Family Physician Research Network (SUFPREN) were included in the survey. A questionnaire measured the prevalence of key factors that might be associated with retention (staying >4 years) and included the Satisfaction of Employees in Health Care (SEHC) tool and Short Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (SWEMWBS). Data were collected in Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) and analysed in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).ResultsNinety-five MOs completed the survey. The overall rating of the facility (P= 0.001), age (P= 0.004), seniority (P= 0.015), career plans (P<0.001), and intention to stay in the public sector (P<0.001) were associated with retention. More personal factors such as social support (P= 0.007), educational opportunities for children (P= 0.002), and staying with one’s partner (P= 0.036) were also associated with retention. Sex, rural versus urban location, district hospital versus primary care facility, overtime, remuneration, and additional rural allowance were not associated with retention.ConclusionThe overall rating of the facility was important and subsequent qualitative work has explored the underlying issues. These findings can guide strategies in the Western Cape and similar settings to retain MOs in the DHS.
Analysis of business Chinese teaching content (based on Chinese and Russian textbooks)
Authors: Eliasina Iuliia K. 
Published: September 2022

The article is devoted to the study of current Russian and Chinese business Chinese teaching materials that can potentially be used in teaching business Chinese to nonlinguistic students. This article analyzes the teaching content of business Chinese textbooks by using the comparative research method.
It is based on the training aids, which are currently used both in China and abroad, and analyzes their compliance with the current requirements of teaching business Chinese in the Russian higher educational institutions. The article is recommended for Chinese language teachers in higher education institutions who teach Chinese or business Chinese in nonlinguistic specialties, where Chinese is the first or second foreign language. The article deals with textbooks of Russian and foreign authors on business Chinese language and analyzes them for the possibility to give lessons on these textbooks to the students of non-linguistic specialties.
The author studied several textbooks, including two English-Chinese and three Russian-Chinese textbooks. Based on the conducted comparative analysis, the English-Chinese textbooks are aimed at studying business Chinese in the format of additional language courses, this course does not imply an undergraduate course, as the lessons are designed for fewer hours, they contain a large amount of vocabulary, dialogues and some cultural explanations, at the same time they do not contain tasks for working on the vocabulary, translation tasks and grammar exercises, which gives minimal information assimilation and can lead to a shortage of information. Russian textbooks, on the other hand, assume a university education, with a sufficient number of hours of study. However, these textbooks assume studying Chinese as the first foreign language, which does not correspond to the current reality, where Chinese is most often the second foreign language in non-linguistic specialities, which significantly reduces the number of hours planned for its study.
Based on the data obtained, the strengths and weaknesses of each textbook have been identified and their relevance to the format of teaching Russian undergraduate students of non-lingual majors, but learning Chinese.
