ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the current status of health literacy among Shanghai residents, and to provide information for developing health policy and health education intervention strategies. Methods During 2008-2015, residents of 15-69 years old in Shanghai were investigated, with multi-stage stratified random sampling method. Results Annual increase of health literacy among Shanghai residents of 15-69 years old was witnessed, i.e.21.94%in 2015, an increase of 14.97%com-pared with that in 2008.Among three aspects of health literacy, the level of basic health concept and knowledge, and the level of health related skills were higher than the level of health lifestyle and behaviors.Among six types of health issues, except for infectious disease prevention and health informa-tion, the health literacy level of other four health issues were improved significantly.During the past eight years, the health literacy level of all types of people improved.However, the health literacy level among residents in rural area or with low education level was lower than other groups, and was increasing with slower pace. Conclusoin The intervention of health literacy gains obvious benefits , however,intensive intervention is required for residents with lower health literacy .
ABSTRACT
To evaluate if Ningmitai Capsule combined with antibiotics therapy is safer and more effective than simple antibiotics therapy for chronic prostatitis, we firstly retrieved the China journal full-text database (CNKI), China's outstanding master's/doctoral dissertation database, Wan Fang database, VIP science and technology periodical database, MEDLINE, and EMBASE. Secondly, we selected research literatures from 2000 to 2013 on Ningmitai Capsule combined with antibiotics therapy for chronic prostatitis. Then, the data were filtered by Cochrane system evaluation method and conducted for Meta-analysis on the effectiveness, chronic prostatitis symptoms index (NIH-CPSI) and microscopy count of white blood cell in expressed prostatic secretion (EPS-WBC) via Stata 12.0 software. Finally, 11 articles including 2 079 samples were totally involved. The Meta-analysis results showed that compared with simple antibiotics treatment, Ningmitai Capsule combined with antibiotics therapy significantly increased the cure rate[OR=2.47, 95% CI (2.08, 2.93)] and lowered NIH-CPSI[WMD=-8.14, 95% CI (-9.39, -6.90)] as well as EPS-WBC[WMD=-6.14, 95% CI (-8.11, -4.17)]. So the study suggests that Ningmitai Capsule can significantly improve the cure rate and related indicators of simple antibiotics therapy for chronic prostatitis, which provides certain references for improving clinical treatment.
