Objective To investigate the effects of Lotensin on inflammatory factors, vascular endothelial function and heart function in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods 100 cases with acute myocardial infarction from March 2015 to January 2016 in the fifth central hospital of Tianjin were selected as the research object, which were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group. The control group were given routine treatment, at this basis, the observation group were given Lotensin. After treatment, the cardiac function, the levels of inflammatory factors, the blood vessel endothelial function, the serum NO and endothelin 1 and the therapeutic effect in the two groups were compared. Results LVESV, LVEDV (156.28±3.29、213.45±6.12) mL in the observation group were better than (162.98±4.16、202.83±7.16) mL in the control group (P<0.05). LVEF was (48.72± 2.13)% in the observation, which was higher than (40.62±3.29)% in the control group(P<0.05). Hs-CRP, IL-6 were (2.66±0.68) mg/L、(4.90±0.92) ng /L in the observation group , which were less than (6.35±1.50) mg/L、(9.38±2.01) ng/L in the control group (P<0.05). FMD(10.37±0.62)% in the observation group was bet er than (6.16±0.92)% in the control group (P<0.05)、 NO, ET-1 level (71.52±13.21) μmol/L、(56.27±7.10) ng/L in the observation group were bet er than (60.63 ±10.57) μmol/L、(69.72±9.50) ng/L in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate in the observation group was 94.00% (47/50), which was better than 62.00% (31/50) in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The effect is significant which Lotensin is used in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction, which can reduce inflammatory factors, improve endothelial function and cardiovascular function.

Objective To explore the needs and influencing factors of palliative care among primary car-egivers in families of patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods The main caregivers of 148 patients with advanced AD who were diagnosed at the Memory Clinic of this hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were randomly selected as the research subjects.A self-designed questionnaire on palliative care needs was used for investigation and statistical analysis.Results The total score of the main caregivers for palliative medical needs was(91.88±15.19),with a score indicator of 66.57%.The highest score indicator was the demand for professional medical care guidance,and the lowest was the demand for social support.There were statistical differences in the scores of palliative medical care needs of caregivers with different a-ges,education level,relationship with patients,nursing experience,death of relatives and friends,annual family income,medical payment method and physical condition(P<0.05).The results of linear regression analysis showed that education level,relationship with patients and nursing experience were the influencing factors of family caregivers'easing medical needs(P<0.05).Conclusion The main caregivers of advanced AD patients have a high demand for palliative care,and there is an urgent need to strengthen palliative care services.

Background Epidemiological evidence indicates an association of particulate matter with depression and cognitive performance. From 2013 to 2017, China implemented the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan to reduce particulate matter concentration. There are few studies on the relationship between the decrease of particulate matter concentration and the improvement of mental health in middle-aged and elderly people. Objective To analyze the relationship between the decrease of city-level particulate matter concentration and the improvement of depression and cognitive function in the middle-aged and elderly population after the implementation of the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan. Methods Using the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) data in 2011 and 2018, this study applied longitudinal data clustering technology to group cities based on the actual response of each city to the policy (the dynamic change trajectory of PM2.5 in each city during the study period); the higher the degree of response, the greater the reduction of PM2.5 concentration in the city. We assigned participants to three groups with different degrees of response to the policy, including low-response group A as the control group, medium-response intervention group B, and high-response intervention group C. A difference-in-differences (DID) model was used to estimate the influence of PM2.5 decline on the depression and cognitive function among middle-aged and elderly people in China by considering potential individual and city-level time-varying confounders. Depression was measured using the 10-item Center for the Epidemiological Studies of Depression Scale (CES-D10) (10 questions, total score range 0-30) with higher score representing higher severity of depression. Cognitive function was evaluated with reference to the international cognitive function test questionnaire for the middle-aged and the elderly which was further categorized into two dimensions of memory and cognitive status and included 31 questions with a score range of 0-31; the higher the score, the better the cognitive function. Samples with relatively complete outcomes were selected for analysis, including 10729 people in depression analysis and 4510 people in cognitive analysis. Results The longitudinal clustering results indicated that the urban groups with the highest decline of PM2.5 concentrations (high-response group C) had the highest baseline PM2.5 concentrations, mainly in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Chengdu-Chongqing metropolitan area, and Wuhan metropolitan area. In 2011, no significant differences were observed in depression and cognitive function among the three groups of middle-aged and elderly populations (Kruskal Wallis test: Pdepression=0.864, Pcognition=0.239). Significant differences were found in depression and cognitive function in both low-response group A and medium-response group B in 2018 compared to 2011 (paired Wilcox test, all P<0.001). However, in the high-response group C, there was no significant difference in depression in 2018 compared to 2011 (P=0.195), while a significant difference was detected in cognitive function (P=0.006). As PM2.5 concentrations decreased, the DID model showed that the depression of the middle-aged and elderly people in the high-response group C decreased by 7.55% (95%CI: 2.83%-12.03%), and the cognitive function improved by 2.70% (95%CI: 0.25%-5.22%) compared with the low-response group A. However, no intervention effect was observed in group B with moderate response level compared with group A with low response level. Conclusion After the implementation of the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan policy, the decrease of PM2.5 concentration has an ameliorative effect on the depression and cognitive function of middle-aged and elderly people in China. Given the aging population and the increasing burden of mental-related diseases in China, the promotion of environmental air pollution control has important public health implications.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the published data on association between present/null polymorphism of glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) and breast cancer risk in Chinese population in order to abttain a more precise and comprehensive estimation of the relationship.
METHODSA meta-analysis was performed to investigate the association between GSTM1 polymorphism and susceptibility to breast cancer in Chinese population by searching Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane library, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang and CBD database. The data were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and extracted, and the quality of included studies was evaluated. The pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated using RevMan 5.2 and Stata 12.0 software. Publication bias and sensitivity analysis were also assessed.
RESULTSA total of 15 case-control studies involving 5,176 cases and 5 890 controls were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that individuals with GSTM1 null genotype harbored a significantly increased risk of breast cancer compared to that with GSTM1 non-null genotype in Chinese population (OR=1.34, 95%CI=1.12-1.60, P=0.002). The subgroup analysis by region revealed that the individuals with GSTM1 null genotype were significantly associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in southern and northern China populations (southern: OR=1.14, 95%CI=1.01-1.28, P=0.03; northern: OR=2.65, 95%CI=2.04-3.34, P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe current meta-analysis demonstrates that the GSTM1 polymorphism is significantly associated with susceptibility to breast cancer in Chinese population, and the GSTM1-deficit may increase the risk of breast cancer.
