Objective To analyze the treatment outcomes and influencing factors among pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Guizhou Province from 2017 to 2022, and to improve a basis for enhancing tuberculosis prevention and control strategies. Methods Individual cases of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Guizhou Province from 2017 to 2022 were obtained from The Tuberculosis Information Management System, The distribution characteristics of treatment success were described using percentages (%), and the Chi - square test and binary logistic regression model were utilized to analyze the factors influencing treatment outcomes. Results During the period of 2017 to 2022, the annual average registration rate of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Guizhou Province was 97. 27/100 000 population, exhibiting a consistent downward trend (trendy2 = 2 230. 684, P < 0. 001). Meanwhile, the treatment success rate among the patients during the same time period was 92. 89%, demonstrating a steady increase (trendy2 =51. 800, P <0. 001). Analysis results of influencing factors showed that compared with female, age group < 20 years old, cadres and staff, physical examination, negative etiological results, initial treatment, no comorbidities, no other tuberculosis, and negative HIV test results, male (OR 二 0.736, 95% CI：0, 709 - 0. 765), M60 years old age group (OR = 0. 360, 95% C/;0. 323 - 0. 402), farmers (OR = 0. 591, 95% C/：0. 468 一 0. 747), medical treatment due to illness (OR = 0. 716, 95% CI: 0. 599 一 0. 855), retreatment (OR = 0. 570, 95% CI540 一 0. 602), complications (OR 二 0. 789, 95% CI: 0. 752 - 0. 827), other tuberculosis (OR =0, 685, 95% CI: 0. 542 - 0. 867) and positive HIV test results (OR = 0. 387, 95% C/：0. 342 -0.437) were risk factors for successful treatment (P <0. 05). Conclusion Overall, the treatment outcomes of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Guizhou Province are highly positive. However, it is essential to recognize that there are disparities in the distribution of treatment outcomes across various population groups. Hence, it is recommended to prioritize the treatment concerns of specific demographics, including male patients, the elderly population, individuals residing in Bijie city, patients with positive microbiological results, HIV = positive patients, individuals requiring retreatment, and those with comorbidities or concurrent tuberculosis. By focusing on these groups, targeted interventions and tailored approaches can be implemented to ensure that all individuals receive optimal treatment and care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective To provide scientific basis for formulating strategies to improve the health management of medical personnel, we analyze the resilience level, coping styles, and influencing factors of 2 100 medical personnel under sudden public health emergencies. Methods Using the convenience sampling method, 22 medical institutions were selected from Pudong New Area, Shanghai, and a self - designed electronic survey questionnaire was distributed based on the professional characteristics of medical personnel, the resilience scale of medical personnel, and the coping style scale. Results The total score of medical staffsJ resilience was 71. 246 ± 11. 442. The total score of medical staffs' coping style was 58. 614 ± 11. 493. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the main factors affecting the resilience level of medical staff were hospital type (social health service center £ = 1. 966, P = 0. 049), employment form (contract system £ = 4. 031, P < 0. 001), professional title (intermediate professional title t -1. 749, P = 0. 006), marital status (married £ = 3. 471, P = 0. 001), monthly income (5 000 一 10 000 t - 2153, P = 0. 031, > 10 000 £ = 2. 475, P = 0. 013), received psychological training(£ = 6.295, 0.001). The main factors affecting the coping style level of medical personnel were hospital type (social health service center t -2, 612, P = 0. 009), time of medical activity (11 - 20 years social health service center £ = 2. 484, P = 0. 013, > 20 years £ = 2. 594, P = 0. 010), employment form (contract system t - 3, 716, P < 0. 001), professional title (intermediate professional title t - 2.268, P = 0.023), psychological training received(£ = 6.338, P < 0.001) and occupational type (management t - 2.218, P = 0.027). Conclusion The level of resilience and coping style of medical personnel need to be improved. Meanwhile, hospital type, employment form, professional title, marital status and psychological training are the influencing factors of resilience and coping style of medical personnel.

Objective To investigate the risk factors associated with pathological escalation to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2) or above (CIN2+) in patients with CIN2 confirmed by colposcopic biopsy, aiming to provide evidence for the stratified management of CIN2 patients. Methods Clinical data of 210 patients who underwent LEEP surgery after pathological diagnosis of cervical CIN2 by colposcopic biopsy were retrospectively analyzed. Pathological diagnosis of patients before and after LEEP surgery was observed. The relationship between pathological escalation after LEEP, and age, results of primary liquid-based thin-layer cytology (TCT), typing of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), the number of affected quadrants of lesions under colposcopy, the proportion of visible lesion area to cervical surface area, the longest linear length of the lesion, the type of transformation zone (TZ), whether the lesion was involved with glands and the characteristics of colposcopic images was assessed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses. Results Among 210 cases of cervical CIN2 diagnosed by colposcopic biopsy, 37 cases (17.6%) were pathologically diagnosed with CIN2+ after LEEP, and 1 case was diagnosed with cervical squamous cell carcinoma stage IB1. Univariate analysis showed that pathological escalation after LEEP was associated with the age of patients, the number of affected quadrants of lesions under colposcopy, the proportion of visible lesion area to cervical surface area, the longest linear length of visible lesions, the type of transformation zone, and the characteristics of colposcoic images (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the number (>1) of affected quadrants of lesions under colposcopy, the proportion (≥ 1/3) of visible lesion area to cervical surface area, TZ3 type and the characteristics (≥ 2) of colposcopic images were the high-risk factors for pathological escalation after LEEP (all P < 0.05). For patients aged 26-50 years, the proportion (≥1/3) of lesion area to cervical surface area, TZ3 type and the characteristics (≥2) of colposcopic images were the high-risk factors for pathological escalation after LEEP (all P < 0.05) . Conclusions Colposcopic biopsy may miss the diagnosis of CIN2+ in patients diagnosed with CIN2. The risk of missing the diagnosis of CIN2+ is increased with the increase of the proportion of visible lesion area to cervical surface area (>1/3), the invisibility of the squamous-column junction under colposcopy, and the proportion of grade 2 signs in colposcopic images (≥ 2). For patients with CIN2 who are willing to have children, if they have the above high-risk factors, it is recommended to carefully deliver follow-up observation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To evaluate the adaptability of female teachers with breast cancer who returned to work after surgery in Xinjiang and to analyze the influencing factors so as to provide a scientific basis for female teachers with cancer to better return to work. Methods A convenience sampling method was used to investigate the female teachers who had returned to work after breast cancer surgery from 2019 to 2021, with the questionnaires including the general information questionnaire, the adaptation scale for returning to work for cancer patients, the simplified scale for fear of disease progression for cancer patients, and the social support scale. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the influencing factors of patients' adaptability to return to work. Results Totally 200 female teachers with breast cancer after surgery were investigated. The scores of adaptability to return-to-work and fear of disease progression were (60.19 ± 10.98) and (32.18 ± 6.19), respectively, while the score of social support was(37.08 ± 8.14). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the scores of adaptability to return -to -work of patients with undergraduate and master's degree education increased by 1.063 and 1.156, respectively, compared with patients with junior college degrees and/or below. Compared with patients who underwent mastectomy, the score of adaptability to return -to -work of patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery increased by 2.136 points, and that of front-line teachers decreased by 2.001 points compared with administrative patients. Compared with patients in public education institutions, the scores of adaptability to return-towork of patients in private education institutions decreased by 2.249 points. When the scores of FoP -Q -SF and SSRS increased by 1 point, the scores of adaptability to return-to-work increased by -1.241 and 1.456 points, respectively. All differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01). Conclusions The female teachers' level of adaptability to return-to - work after breast cancer surgery in Xinjiang needs to be improved, and the relevant departments should pay attention to the care and social support for female teachers with low educational levels, with mastectomy, in front-line teaching posts, or in private educational institutions, so as to improve their adaptability to return to work.

Objective To investigate the depression status and influencing factors for the late pregnancy women， and provide a theoretical basis for psychological consultations and interventions. Methods A symptoms of depression self rating scale （SDS） and a questionnaire for the basic information were adopted in the cross-sectional survey for 180 late pregnancy women at 35 weeks or more in the obstetrics of the second affiliated hospital of Kunming Medical University from March to May in 2015. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the related risk factors of depression. Results The depression positive rate of late pregnancy women was 42.2% ， among which the depression positive rate of the Han nationality （47.45%） was obviously higher than national minority's （25.58%）, and Bachelor degree or above （52.94%） was higher than Bachelor degree and below （35.71%） . Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for depression symptoms were nationality （OR=2.92， 95% CI: 1.29-6.63），education （OR=3.29， 95%CI: 1.22-7.18），satisfaction degree of current marital status （OR=3. 53， 95% CI: 1.09-6.24）， and sleep time of every day （OR=0.37， 95% CI:0.15-0.94） . Conclusion The present mental health status of the late pregnancy women in Kunming was poor，especially the pregnant women with Bachelor degree or above and poor quality of sleep，who were prone to depression. Extensive health education should be launched to pregnant women in order to reduce the possibility of depression during pregnancy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
