ABSTRACT
Objective: To analyze the difference in depression symptoms and influencing factors between urban and rural elderly people aged ≥65 years old in Anhui Province. Methods: Based on the data from a survey of 68 communities in Anhui Province that implemented the National Elderly Psychological Care Project from 2019 to 2020, the current status of depression symptoms in the elderly was evaluated using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). The difference in the detection rate of depression symptoms between urban and rural elderly people with different characteristics was compared by using the χ2 test. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the relevant factors of depression symptoms in urban and rural elderly people. Results: A total of 15 532 elderly people aged≥65 years old were included in the survey. The detection rate of depressive symptoms was 7.12%, which was higher in rural areas (9.08%) than in urban areas (6.48%). Logistic regression showed that chronic diseases were risk factors for depressive symptoms in elderly people from both urban and rural areas. Positive attitudes towards aging and good mental resilience were protective factors for depressive symptoms in elderly people. Having hobby (OR=0.64, 95%CI: 0.45-0.91), good relationship with children (OR=0.56, 95%CI: 0.41-0.76), good relationship with spouse (OR=0.51, 95%CI: 0.37-0.71), and having at least 6 friends (OR=0.48, 95%CI: 0.32-0.71) were the protective factors for depressive symptoms in urban elderly people. A good relationship with neighbors (OR=0.58, 95%CI: 0.41-0.82) and having 1-2 friends (OR=0.40, 95%CI: 0.25-0.64) were the protective factors for depressive symptoms in rural elderly people. Women (OR=1.49, 95%CI: 1.06-2.10) and higher education level (OR=1.81, 95%CI: 1.19-2.74, compared with illiterate/semi-illiterate in primary school; OR=2.94, 95%CI: 1.82-4.76, compared with illiterate/semi-illiterate in junior high school and above) were the risk factors for depressive symptoms in rural elderly people. Conclusion: There are differences between urban and rural areas in depressive symptoms among elderly people in Anhui Province. The detection rate of depression symptoms among rural elderly people is higher, and the influencing factors of depressive symptoms between urban and rural elderly people are also different, which should be treated specifically in the implementation of intervention measures.

Objective: To analyze the safety and efficacy of using novel oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban and others) in patients with cirrhosis accompanied with portal vein thrombosis (PVT). Methods: Clinical research literature published from the establishment of the database to June 20, 2021, was retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and Weipu databases by combining subject terms and free words. RevMan software was used for the random group meta-analysis model. Results: In terms of PVT recanalization, the novel oral anticoagulants (such as low molecular weight heparin and others) had a higher recanalization rate than traditional anticoagulants (OR = 13.75, 95%CI 3.58-52.9, P = 0.000 1). In terms of bleeding, the novel oral anticoagulants did not increase the risk of bleeding compared with traditional anticoagulants (OR = 2.42, 95%CI 0.62-9.41, P = 0.20). Conclusion: The novel oral anticoagulant drugs are superior to traditional anticoagulants in terms of the occurrence of PVT recanalization; however, there is no statistically significant difference in terms of the occurrence of bleeding between the two groups.

Aim To investigate the potential mechanism of Jiawei Duhuo Jisheng Mixture regulating intestinal flora in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis(KOA)by 16S rRNA sequencing.Methods Eight-week-old male C57 mice were randomly divided into three groups:sham group,DMM group,and model+Jiawei Duhuo Jisheng Mixture group(Mixture group),6 mice per group.KOA model was induced by destabilization of medial meniscus surgery.16.25 mL·kg-1 dose mixture was given daily to the mixture group,and normal saline was given to the sham and DMM group.After eight weeks,the knee joints and colons of mice were collected,and the knee joints were prepared into paraffin sections,and the cartilage changes were observed with Safranin O-Fast Green and immunohistochemistry staining.16S rRNA sequencing of intestinal contents was performed to observe the changes of intestinal flora.Results Compared with model group,Jiawei Duhuo Jisheng Mixture could significantly reduce cartilage wear and OARSI score(P=0.033 5,P=0.029 5).16S rRNA sequencing showed that Jiawei Duhuo Jisheng Mixtrue could change the intestinal flora richness of KOA model mice,and improve the Alpha diversity(Chao1,Simpson)and Beta diversity(PCoA,NMDS).LefSe analysis showed that there were species with significant difference in abundance among the three groups(P=0.001),mainly including Lactobacillus,Firmicutes,Proteobacteria and other species.MetaCyc analysis indicated that Jiawei Duhuo Jisheng Mixture had effects on various metabolic pathways such as fatty acid,sugar and amino acid of intestinal flora(P<0.05).Conclusions Jiawei Duhuo Jisheng Mixtrue can effectively protect the articular cartilage and delay the progression of KOA.The mechanism may be through regulating the intestinal flora structure,protecting the intestinal barrier and reducing the inflammatory response.
