ABSTRACT
Increasing age is the most important factor for cognitive impairment.Alzheimer disease(AD)and sarcopenia are significant causes of frailty and disability in older adults.It is important to have an in-depth understanding of the relationship between sarcopenia and AD.Studies have reported that sarcopenia often disturbs the secretion of muscle factors,which may increase the risk of developing dementia.In turn,the pathological feature of dementia,such as the de-position of amyloid β-protein(Aβ),amyloid precursor protein(APP)and tau protein in peripheral neurons,may be related to a decline in muscle function.In particular,the deposition of Aβ and APP may eventually lead to movement disorders and disability.Therefore,we hypothesize that AD and sarcopenia may mutually promote each other's pathological develop-ment.This results in exacerbation of clinical and pathological damage,in which myokine and amyloid proteins play impor-tant roles.However,the interrelationship based on amyloid protein and myokine production has not been discussed in de-tail in other reviews.In this paper,we reference and discuss the studies on this topic,and review the common risk factors for sarcopenia and AD and the potential and mechanisms for mutual improvement.
ABSTRACT
BackgroundElderly cataract patients with depressive symptoms have heavier self-perceived burden, and worse vision-related quality of life compared to patients without depressive symptoms, resulting in the increase of family burden. Most previous studies showed that family relationship and vision were the main factors leading to depression in elderly cataract patients, and ignored the effects of self-feeling and complicated diseases on the psychological state of elderly cataract patients. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between depressive symptoms, self-perceived burden and postoperative vision-related quality of life in elderly cataract patients, and to analyze the risk factors of depressive symptoms. So as to provide references for targeted psychological intervention in this population. MethodsA total of 104 elderly cataract patients admitted to Jiangsu Province Hospital (The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University) from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022 were included. General information, self-perceived burden and postoperative vision-related quality of life were investigated by self-designed questionnaire, Patients' Health Questionnaire depressive Scale-9 item (PHQ-9), Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS) and National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25 (NEI-VFQ-25). Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlation among PHQ-9, SPBS and NEI-VFQ-25 scores. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of depressive symptoms in eldery cataract patients. ResultsA total of 100 elderly cataract patients completed an effective questionnaire survey. Among the participants, 31 cases (31.00%) were found to have depressive symptoms. The depressive group exhibited significantly higher SPBS score (t=11.062, P<0.01) and significantly lower NEI-VFQ-25 score (t=-5.235, P<0.01) than those of the non-depressive group. Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between PHQ-9 and SPBS score (r=0.485, P<0.01), and a negative correlation between PHQ-9 and NEI-VFQ-25 score (r=-0.440, P<0.01). Complicated with diabetes (OR=1.441, P<0.01), osteoarthritis (OR=1.324, P<0.05) and high SPBS score (OR=1.340, P<0.05) were risk factors of depressive sympptoms in elderly cataract patients. ConclusionThe detection rate of depressive symptoms in elderly cataract patients is higher, and postoperative vision-related quality of life in elderly cataract patients complicated with depressive symptoms is poor. Risk factors include diabetes, osteoarthritis and high self-perceived burden. [Funded by 2022 Jiangsu Province Elderly Health Scientific Research Project (number, LKM2022019)]
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, Children and Youth Version (ICF-CY) framed oral motor therapy combined with acupoint massage intervention on children with cerebral palsy swallowing disorder.Methods:From September 2018 to September 2019, 80 children with cerebral palsy accompanied by dysphagia who were diagnosed and treated in the Department of Neurological Rehabilitation of our hospital were selected as the study subjects, and were divided into the experimental group (40 cases) and the control group (40 cases) by random number table method. A total of 76 patients completed the study. On the basis of routine swallowing training and oral movement intervention, the experimental group was comprehensively evaluated from the aspects of body function and structure, activity and participation, and environmental factors with ICF-CY theory as the framework, and was given oral and facial acupoint massage for 12 weeks. The control group was given conventional swallowing training and oral exercise intervention for 12 weeks. The modified water swallow test was used to evaluate the effect of improving swallowing disorder in two groups of children after 12 weeks of intervention. The improvement of oral motor function in two groups of children after 4 and 12 weeks of intervention was evaluated by using the Grading Criteria for Evaluation of Oral Motor Function.Results:After 12 weeks of intervention, the total effective rate of swallowing disorder improvement in the experimental group and the control group were 89.47% (34/38) and 63.16% (24/38), respectively, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 7.28, P<0.05). After 4 and 12 weeks of intervention, the functional scores of oral motors in the experimental group were (67.13±2.35) and (82.08±2.33) points, respectively, which were higher than those of the control group at the same time (56.16±2.57) and (65.63±2.54) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were -3.320, -4.433 P<0.05). After 4 and 12 weeks of intervention, the children's functional scores of oral motors in each group were higher than those in each group before intervention. Compared with the group before intervention, t values of the experimental group were -5.377 and -5.376; t values of the control group were -10.715 and -17.486; compared to the group with 4-week intervention, t value of the experimental group was -12.732; t value of the control group was -13.281, all the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the time effect, grouping effect, and the interaction between time effect and grouping effect of functional scores of oral motors were statistically significant ( F values were 426.780, 9.084, 26.538, P < 0.05). Conclusions:Oral motor therapy combined with acupoint massage based on ICF-CY framework can effectively promotes the recovery and reconstruction of mouth perception and motor function in children with cerebral palsy, significantly improves the children's dysphagia and their ability to actively participate in feeding.
ABSTRACT
Enhancement of health management capability and resource utilization efficiency of hospitals has become an imperative need to deepen the healthcare reform. The high-value consumables are subject to point-to-point accurate tracking based on code scan, relying on the hospital′s WeChat official account for WeChat-based management. The WeChat platform enables the system to automatically push the preset procurement plan to the mobile terminal of the managers via the low-inventory alarm at the departments. On the other hand, vendors can use their own mobile terminals to receive in time the plans, query product inventory, and last month invoicing information. These measures facilitate the hospital management on high-value consumables.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the Polock indexes (PI) of singleton neonates in different gestational age (GA),so as to provide a reference data for evaluating physical fullness and symmetry in neonates at birth.Methods A total of 16 887 live singleton neonates at 27-42 weeks of GA from two hospitals were measured at birth by site survey method using cluster samples by a cross sectional time in Shenzhen City,from 2013 to 2015 in this study,to establish PI of singleton neonates in different GA.Results The PI mean and the percentile curves(3rd,10th,25th,50th,75th,90th,97th)of singleton neonates at 27-42 weeks of GA (male,female,and unisex three groups) were established in 2015 in Shenzhen,China.The fullness and nutrition status of neonates at birth can be evaluated by these PI curves.According to the 3rd,10th,25th-75th,90th,97th curves,the down,mid down,middle,mid upper,upper levels were divided in turn.When the PI values >97th curve it was overweighted or fatty.When the PI values < 3rd curve it was malnutrition.The lowest values of PI were at 27 weeks of GA,and the highest values appeared at 42 weeks of GA.The PI values were increasing with GA growth,which indicated that the GA increased the body density and fullness.The 50th percentile curve of male PI was higher than that of the female,and the male ratio increased by 61.2-89.5 at the gestational age of 27-34 weeks;between 35 and 42 weeks of fetal age,males increased by 104.8-149.1,which had a statistical difference (P < 0.001).Conclusions The PI of singleton neonates rises with GA increase,which shows the GA increases the body density and fullness.PI is higher in male than in female singleton neonates.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the differences of nerve conduction of lower limbs in general population with different nationalities in Xining region.Methods Physical examination and healthy volunteers in No.1 People's Hospital of Xining were collected.Two hundred and forty Hui people of them was Hui group.Two hundred and forty people with other ethnic minorities including Tibetan,Tu and Mongolian of them was mixed group.Two hundred and forty Han people of them was Han group.The nerve conduction of lower limbs in all the people were detected.And the differences were compared.Results The differences of nerve conduction of posterior tibial nerve among all the groups were not statistical significant (all P>0.05).The latent period of common peroneal nerve in Hui group was significantly longer than mixed group and Han group,the motor conduction velocity of which was significantly slower,the motor nerve action potential of which was significantly reduced (all P0.05).The differences of nerve conduction of each group among different age periods were statistical significant(all P<0.05).Conclusions The nerve conduction of lower limbs in general Hui people in Xining region must be different with other general people.It must be noticed in clinical examination.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study comparatively the performance of rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test in syphilis detection among pregnant women and non-pregnant women to provide reference for detecting syphilis in pregnant women.Methods The women aged 20-40 years old were selected and divided into the pregnant group and the non-pregnant group.RPR and treponema pallidum particle assay(TPPA) were simultaneously adopted to conduct the syphilis detection.The positive cases were judged by the TPPA detection results combined with the contact history,clinical symptoms and treatment situation.The results were compared with those by RPR for determining the false negative and false positive in RPR.The false negative rate and false positive rate of RPR detection results were analyzed in the two groups.Results Among 117 pregnant women,15 cases were false negative in RPR and 9 cases were false positive in RPR;among 755 non-pregnant women,there were 44 cases of false negative RPR results and 8 cases of false positive RPR results.The false negative rates in the pregnant group and non-pregnant group were 25.0% and 8.8% respectively,the difference was statistically significant(χ2=14.739,P<0.05);the false positive rates in the pregnant group and non-pregnant group were 15.7% and 3.1% respectively,the difference was statistically significant (χ2=14.722,P<0.05).Conclusion There are many factors affecting RPR for detection syphilis,pregnant women are the specific group,so higher false positive rate and false negative rate exist than non-pregnant women,the detection results should be comprehensively judged by combining with clinical symptoms and disease history,if necessary,combining with other syphilis detection method for avoiding missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.
