RESUMO
Objective: To assess the impact of pain-programmed care, utilizing the concept of prehabilitation, on the postoperative recovery of joint function and WHOQOL-BREF score in elderly patients following total hip arthroplasty. Methods: Ninety cases of elderly patients with total hip arthroplasty admitted to our hospital from January to December 2022 were selected as the observation sample, and the 90 elderly patients with total hip arthroplasty were divided into 45 control groups and 45 control groups by random number table method. The pain assessment, functional exercise compliance, hip joint function and quality of life of the two groups were compared after the intervention. Results: The nursing intervention led to a significant reduction in pain scores and improvement in quality of life for elderly patients undergoing total hip joint replacement. The observation group showed a greater reduction in resting pain scores (6.20 ± 0.63 vs. 3.78 ± 0.67, P < .05) and activity pain scores (8.78 ± 0.64 vs. 4.89 ± 0.68, P < .05) compared to the control group. Additionally, the observation group demonstrated significant improvements in physiology (55.73 ± 2.14 vs. 71.87 ± 21.59, P < .05), psychology (55.71 ± 2.13 vs. 72.60 ± 2.20, P < .05), social relations (55.73 ± 2.13 vs. 71.96 ± 1.57, P < .05), and environmental effect (55.60 ± 2.15 vs. 68.62 ± 1.51, P < .05) after care, whereas the control group exhibited lesser improvements in these areas (physiology: 55.60 ± 2.24 vs. 64.53±2.02, P < .05; psychology: 55.60 ± 2.22 vs. 66.33±1.99, P < .05; social relations: 55.82 ± 2.09 vs. 67.84 ± 1.73, P < .05; environmental effect: 55.89 ± 2.18 vs. 62.09 ± 51.49, P < .05). These findings demonstrate the significant impact of nursing intervention on pain reduction and improved quality of life for elderly patients undergoing total hip joint replacement. Conclusion: Pain programmed care based on the concept of prehabilitation for elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty has a significant positive impact on pain control, compliance with functional exercise, recovery of hip function, and improvement of quality of life. These findings highlight the benefits of implementing pain management strategies and rehabilitation programs in the field of total hip arthroplasty and elderly care.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic characteristics and molecular regulator of Kidney-Yang Deficiency Syndrome (KDS). DESIGN: A typical KDS family was collected using a questionnaire of cold feeling and a 40-item scoring table of KDS based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), by single-blind method repeated annually over three years. Their transcriptomes were assayed by microarray and validated by RT-PCR and ELISA. Simultaneously, 10 healthy volunteers were recruited as controls and the same protocols were performed. RESULTS: This typical KDS family has 35 members, of whom 11 were evaluated as having severe KDS and 6 as having common KDS. Results of the cDNA microarray revealed that there were 420 genes/expressed sequence tags differentially expressed in KDS transcriptomes, indicating a global functional impairment in the mass-energy-information carrying network of KDS patients, involving energy metabolism, signal transduction, development, cell cycle, and immunity. Pathway analysis by gene set enrichment assay (GSEA) and other tools demonstrated that mitogenic activated protein kinase (MAPK) is among the most insufficiently activated pathways, while the oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathways, the two main pathways relevant to ATP synthesis, were among the most excessively activated pathways in KDS patients. Results of RT-PCR and ELISA confirmed the status of insufficient activity of the MAPK pathway. CONCLUSION: KDS patients undergo overall attenuated functions in the mass-energy-information carrying network. The marked low level of energy output in KDS may be primarily attributed to the insufficient activity of the MAPK pathway, which may be a key monitor for the abnormal energy metabolism and other impaired activities in KDS.
