ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate middle -aged and old urban community residents 'demand on community health management as well as the influencing factors.Methods A total of 750 residents over 45 years old already incorporated in the community health management system in Jiangdong District of Ningbo were selected to be investigated by self -made questionnaires item by item and face to face.Results A total of 713(95.07%)valid questionnaires were obtained,and 67.32% of the respondents showed that they needed health management.Multinomial classification logistic analysis indicated that people with more chronic diseases,older age,and higher level of health attention as well as health management cognition were more likely to choose health management.The demand percentages of health management service items from high to low in turn were psychological counseling (82.89%),physical examination for the old residents (77.84%),health counseling training (47.69%),doctors'follow -up and evaluation (34.78%)and the family doctor service (19.78%).The male respondents'demand percentages of psychological counseling and health counseling training were 86.35% and 52.23%respectively,higher than 79.79% and 43.62% in females (P <0.05).The female respondents'demand percentage of doctors'follow -up and evaluation was 38.30%,higher than 30.86% in males (P <0.05).The middle -aged and old residents suffering from chronic diseases had higher demand percentages of psychological counseling,physical examination, <br> health counseling training and the family doctor service than those with no chronic diseases (P <0.01).Conclusion The urban elderly residents'demands on community health management were influenced by chronic diseases and age,andhave health management requirements on psychological counseling and physicel examination.The relevant departments should improve community health management service system.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the prognostic factors in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fifty-eight patients with stage I NSCLC treated from 1991 to 1995 were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical features, histopathology and prognostic factors were analyzed by SPSS10.0 statistic software. The expression of c-myc, MDM2, c-erbB-2, EGFR, p53, p14(ARF), p16(INK4), p21(WAF1) and nm23 was detected by immunohistochemical assay. The overall survival rate, local-regional control rate and distant metastasis rate were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The overall survival rate, local-regional recurrent rate and distant metastasis rate were 71.1%, 11.1% and 33.5%, respectively. In univariate analysis, tumor cell differentiation was an independent prognostic factor (P = 0.028); overexpression of c-myc or c-erbB-2 had significantly poor overall survival and high distant metastasis rate (P < 0.05). The total oncogene immunoreactive score (IRS) and comprehensive IRS were associated with poor overall survival. In multivariate analysis, tumor cell differentiation and comprehensive IRS were independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Among the high-risk group of patients, those who had received chemotherapy seemed to have a higher overall survival rate and a lower distant metastasis rate in this study, but the difference was not statistically significant.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>For stage I NSCLC patients, tumor cell differentiation and comprehensive IRS are independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Adjuvant chemotherapy might somehow improve the survival for the patients with high-risk factors.</p>
