ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of intervention based on internet platform for feeding disorders of infants with low birth weight (LBW), and to provide evidence for spreading and conducting intervention in communities. Methods A total of 994 infants aged 1 month born between January 2016 and February 2017 with LBW consulted in Department of Child Health Care of Minhang Maternal and Children Health Hospital were selected in this study.The participants were randomly divided into intervention group (499 cases) and control group (495 cases).The intervention group received health education in the assistance of a communication platform founded on internet, and the control group received health education by common pattern.After 12 months of intervention, a self-developed and normalized Chinese Infant Feeding Scale was used to assess the infants feeding disorder and feeding behaviors of caregivers were also investigated by filling out a specially designed questionnaire, to understand the occurrence of feeding disorders in the intervention group and the control group and the changes of feeding behavior of the parents. Results The score of feeding behavior questionnaire based on internet platform intervention was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05), and the parental feeding behavior was significantly improved in five aspects:food preparation, nutrition knowledge, feeding methods, feeding concept and feeding environment (P < 0.01).The incidence of feeding disorders in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Interventions based on the internet platform for feeding disorders in LBW infants can reduce the incidence of feeding disorders and improve parental feeding behavior.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the influence of nursing intervention on bone health of breast cancer patients in aromatase inhibitors (AIs) treatment.@*Methods@#Totally 120 breast cancer patients receiving AIs treatment were randomly divided into the observation group (60 cases) and the control group (60 cases), and bone mineral density was measured. After that, the control group was routinely instructed to take calcium supplements, given health lectures, and real-time management. The observation group were given whole-process bone health management intervention based on "Internet+" on the basis of routine nursing. After 1 year, osteoporosis knowledge questionnaire and bone mineral density test were conducted in the two groups.@*Results@#Score of Osteoporosis Knowledge Test of observation group was 21.38±3.29, and 12.54±5.03 of control group, comparing the two groups was statistically significant (t=10.27, P < 0.05); before intervention bone mineral density of observation group was (1.042±0.138) g/cm2, and (1.058±0.127) g/cm2 of control group, comparing the two groups has no statistical significance, comparable (t=1.053, P > 0.05); after intervention the bone mineral density of observation group was (0.951±0.108) g/cm2, and (0.854±0.100) g/cm2 of control group, the comparison between the two groups was statistically significant (t=5.937, P<0.05). After intervention, the incidence of osteoporosis in the observation group was 21.67% (13/60), which was significantly higher than 35.00% (21/60) in the control group (χ2=4.279, P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#Whole-course nursing intervention can promote bone health of AIs patients with breast cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective This study aims to determine the effects of a health management program based on WeChat platform on a hypertensive population aged under 45. Methods 1 128 hypertensive patients aged between 18 and 44 received a health examination from January 2016 to December 2016 and they were divided into intervention (n=561) and control (n=567)groups. The two groups were followed up after 1 year, and initially both the intervention group (n=521) and the control group (n=510) completed a lifestyle questionnaire, and their systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein‐cholesterol (HDL‐C), low density lipoprotein‐cholesterol (LDL‐C), body mass index (BMI), and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were recorded. For the control group, lifestyle health management programs were conducted. For the intervention group, a learning platform was arranged on WeChat, which uploaded questionnaires, and provided medical information to create electronic health records. The group gained hypertension‐related knowledge, dynamically monitored blood pressure and lifestyle, and participated in interactive question‐and‐answer sessions. Both groups were followed up after a year, and their systolic pressure, diastolic blood pressure, TG, TC, HDL‐C, LDL‐C, BMI, and PWV levels were measured. The changes in their daily exercise time, vegetable intake, sleep time, weekly blood pressure reading, smoking, and salt intake were recorded. Results The mean age of the WeChat intervention group was 33.1 (+10.6) years, which had 319 males (61.2%), and the mean age of the control group was 32.8 (+10.2) years, with 307 males (60.1%). No difference of clinical data was found between the two groups at baseline. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure of the intervention group, (142.4±10.4) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) (85.1±8.2) mmHg was significantly lower than that of the control group (149.6±10.1) mmHg, (92.3±9.1) mmHg (t=3.67, 2.33, P<0.05) at the end of the first year of follow‐up. The TG, TC, LDL‐C, BMI, and PWV levels of the intervention group [(1.6±0.6) mmol/L, (4.4±0.7) mmol/L, (2.8± 0.4 ) mmol/L, (23.9±4.2) kg/m2, (11.3±3.7) m/s respectively] were significantly lower than those of the control group [(1.8±0.7) mmol/L, (5.0±0.8) mmol/L, (3.3±0.5) mmol/L, (25.9±4.5) kg/m2, (15.8± 4.8) m/s, respectively] (t=6.63, 7.24, 4.96, 5.68, 9.25, all P<0.05). The HDL‐C level of the intervention group (1.8±0.7) mmol/L was significantly higher than that of the control group (1.4±0.4) mmol/L(t=8.14, P<0.05). After 1 year of intervention, daily exercise time [(40.5±12.2)min/d, (20.8±9.2) min/d)], vegetable intake [(423.6±145.8) g/d, (204.8±79.3) g/d)], sleeping time [(6.3±2.2) h/d, (5.9±1.7) h/d)], and weekly monitoring of blood pressure (23.4%, 8.1%) showed an increase with statistical significance (t =2.36, 1.95, 9.07, χ2=46.31, P<0.05), while smoking (14.4%, 21.9%) and high‐salt diet (20.2%, 30.5%) decreased showing statistical significance ( χ 2=‐9.83, -14.27, P<0.05). The daily exercise time [(22.9±11.3)min/d, (21.7±9.5)min/d], vegetable intake [(211.8±85.4) g/d, (198.5±81.4) g/d], sleeping time [(5.9±1.8) h/d,(5.8±1.9) h/d], weekly monitoring of blood pressure (9.2%, 8.6%), smoking(18.9%, 19.8%), and high‐salt diet (28.8%, 30.2%) were not significantly different in the control group at the one‐year follow‐up (t=0.14, 0.26, 0.31, χ2=0.11, 0.16, 0.23, all P>0.05). Conclusions The health management program based on WeChat platform can improve diet, exercise compliance, and lifestyle, and effectively reduce blood pressure and blood lipid levels for a hypertensive population under the age of 45.

ABSTRACT
Conclusions1)The present situation of teaching English for medical purposes (EMP) in Japanese medical schools is chaotic.2)We need a standardized EMP curriculum and standardized national and international EMP goals.3) Based on Ministry of Education funding, a free Internet platform for EMP educational materials has been established and could be used to develop a national standardized EMP program.
