This study was undertaken as one of the first investigations of nurses' smoking habits in Longkou city, Shandong Province, China. An anonymous cross-sectional survey was administered as part of a larger investigation of healthcare professionals at a university teaching hospital during 2008. A total of 88 nurses responded to the survey, from whom tobacco-related data were provided by 83 of them (94%). Their overall smoking rate was very low (1%), with no male nurses reporting themselves to be current tobacco users. Overall, the current study suggests that smoking rates are very low among Chinese nurses in Longkou city, Shandong Province. These results are also consistent with studies of nurses' tobacco use conducted in other regions of China.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of CT quantitative parameters in distinguishing between lipid-poor adenoma (LPA) and nodular hyperplasia in adrenal lesions.
- Researchers analyzed 128 patients, measuring various CT parameters, including attenuation values and lesion volume, and developed a logistic regression model to evaluate diagnostic accuracy.
- The model showed a good performance with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.835, with better sensitivity and specificity than radiologists' assessments, indicating that CT metrics can be more reliable for diagnosis.
Ectopic thyroid in the hepatoduodenal ligament: a case report and literature review.

Ectopic thyroid arises from abnormal development of thyroid primordial tissues as it migrates to the lower interstitium during the embryonic period, which can occur at various locations during the descent process. However, ectopic thyroid in the subdiaphragmatic area is extremely rare. In this case, we report a case of ectopic thyroid located in the hepatoduodenal ligament.

The microstructure, corrosion resistance, and phase-transition process of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings prepared on LaFeSi alloy surfaces in different electrolyte systems were systematically investigated. Research has demonstrated that various electrolyte systems do not alter the main components of the coatings. However, the synergistic action of NaCO and NaBO more effectively modulated the ionization and chemical reactions of the MAO process and accelerated the formation of -AlO.

Seawater intrusion (SI) has become a global issue exacerbated by intense anthropogenic activities and climate change. It is imperative to seek a synergistic strategy to reconcile environmental and economic benefits in the coastal regions. However, the intricate SI process and data scarcity present formidable challenges in dynamically assessing the coastal groundwater vulnerability.

Sewage irrigation is a common alternative to make up for the shortage of agricultural irrigation in intensive agricultural areas. Abundant organic matter and nutrients in sewage can improve soil fertility and crop yield, but hazardous materials, such as heavy metals, will damage the soil environmental quality and threaten human health. To better understand the characteristics of heavy metal enrichment and potential health risk in a sewage irrigated soil-wheat system, a total of sixty-three pairs of topsoil and wheat grain samples were collected from the sewage irrigated area of Longkou City in Shandong Province.
