Objective To compare the consistency between the estimated values of nine common resting energy expenditure estimation equations and the measured values among the elderly population in pension institutions. Methods A total of 181 elderly individuals from Henan Guangda Ouan Leling Nursing Center were recruited as study objects through cluster sampling. The differences between the estimated values of nine common equations and the measured values obtained by indirect calorimetry were compared, and subgroup analyses were conducted to compare their consistency across different subgroups. Results Among the nine equations, the Cunningham equation and the Owen equation showed relatively small deviations from the measured values, with no significant differences (deviation rates of -1.9% and -2.0%, root mean square errors of 222.7 kcal/d and 239.4 kcal/d, and coincidence rates of 48.4% and 47.5%, respectively). In subgroups stratified by gender and body mass index (BMI), the Cunningham equation showed no significant difference compared with the measured values. The Owen equation showed no significant difference compared with the measured values only in some subgroups [males with BMI of 20~ < 27 kg/m² and ≥27 kg/m², and females with BMI < 20 kg/m²]. Conclusion The Cunningham equation, which utilizes body composition data, can assess the resting energy expenditure of the elderly in pension institutions with relatively high accuracy and speed, demonstrating strong applicability in this population.

Objective To understand the changing distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Proteus,Morganella and Providencia in hospitals across China from January 1,2015 to December 31,2021 in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out following the unified CHINET protocol.The results were interpreted in accordance with the breakpoints in the 2021 Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)M100(31 st Edition).Results A total of 32 433 Enterobacterales strains were isolated during the 7-year period,including 24 160 strains of Proteus,6 704 strains of Morganella,and 1 569 strains of Providencia.The overall number of these Enterobacterales isolates increased significantly over the 7-year period.The top 3 specimen source of these strains were urine,lower respiratory tract specimens,and wound secretions.Proteus,Morganella,and Providencia isolates showed lower resistance rates to amikacin,meropenem,cefoxitin,cefepime,cefoperazone-sulbactam,and piperacillin-tazobactam.For most of the antibiotics tested,less than 10％of the Proteus and Morganella strains were resistant,while less than 20％of the Providencia strains were resistant.The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE)was 1.4％in Proteus isolates,1.9％in Morganella isolates,and 15.6％in Providencia isolates.Conclusions The overall number of clinical isolates of Proteus,Morganella and Providencia increased significantly in the 7-year period from 2015 to 2021.The prevalence of CRE strains also increased.More attention should be paid to antimicrobial resistance surveillance and rational antibiotic use so as to prevent the emergence and increase of antimicrobial resistance.

Objective:To evaluate the role of hippocampal prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) in baicalin-induced reduction of cognitive dysfunction after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) in mice.Methods:Thirty healthy male C57BL/6 mice, aged 16 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 5 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table method: control group (C group), CIRI group, baicalin+ CIRI group (B+ CIRI group), overexpression of PTGS2+ CIRI group (PTGS2+ CIRI group), and overexpression of PTGS2+ baicalin+ CIRI group (PTGS2+ B+ CIRI). In B+ CIRI group and PTGS2+ B+ CIRI group, baicalin-liposome 0.2 ml was injected through the tail vein, and the CIRI model was established 1 week later. In PTGS2+ CIRI group and PTGS2+ B+ CIRI group, PTGS2-overexpressed adeno-associated virus 1.2 μl was injected into the hippocampus, and the CIRI model was established 4 weeks later. CIRI model was established by using the transient (50 min) bilateral common carotid artery occlusion/reperfusion. On the 12th day after developing the model, the spatial learning and memory ability was evaluated using Morris water maze test. The expression of PTGS2 in the hippocampus was detected by Western blot, and the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), IL-6, Iba-1 and CD68 mRNA in the hippocampus was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results:Compared with C group, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the time spent in the target quadrant was shortened, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, and the expression of PTGS2 and expression of Iba-1, CD68, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA in the hippocampus was up-regulated in CIRI group ( P<0.05). Compared with CIRI group, the escape latency was significantly shortened, the time spent in the target quadrant was prolonged, the number of crossing the original platform was increased, and the expression of PTGS2 and expression of Iba-1, CD68, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA in the hippocampus was down-regulated in B+ CIRI group, and the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the time spent in the target quadrant was shortened, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, and the expression of PTGS2 and expression of Iba-1, CD68, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA in the hippocampus was up-regulated in PTGS2+ CIRI group ( P<0.05). Compared with B+ CIRI group, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the time spent in the target quadrant was shortened, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, and the expression of PTGS2 and expression of Iba-1, CD68, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA in the hippocampus was up-regulated in PTGS2+ B+ CIRI group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which baicalin attenuates cognitive dysfunction after CIRI is related to down-regulation of hippocampal PTGS2 expression and inhibition of neuroinflammation in mice.

Cognitive frailty, as one of the hotspots in the field of geriatric medicine research, is a disease state where physical frailty and cognitive impairment coexist. Cognitive frailty is related to sociodemographic factors, nutritional status, geriatric syndrome, physical and cognitive activities, comorbidities, etc., but the underlying mechanisms are not yet clear. Cognitive frailty not only increases the risk of adverse health outcomes such as falls, disability, and hospitalization in the elderly, but also exacerbates the burden on families and public healthcare systems. This article reviews the recent progress on the cognitive frailty in the elderly, focusing on the awareness of cognitive frailty, the related mechanisms and influencing factors, the assessment methods and non-pharmaceutical interventions to provide reference for clinical application.

Conclusion:Compared with middle-aged and elderly patients, young patients with MPN had unique clinical and genetic characteristics.

Objective:To explore the effect of early essential newborn care technology during cesarean section on early health outcomes of mothers and infants and breast feeding.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled study. From October 2020 to August 2021, 104 delivery women and their newborns who were scheduled for full-term cesarean section in Peking University First Hospital were selected as the study subject. The subjects were randomly divided into control group and intervention group, 52 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing of the newborn after cesarean section, while the intervention group received early essential newborn care technology after cesarean section. The amount of postpartum hemorrhage, hospital stay, Apgar score at one and five minutes after birth, the incidence of abnormal conditions within 90 minutes after birth, the time of umbilical cord shedding, the time of the first feeding sign of the newborn, the success rate of early initiation of breastfeeding and the implementation of breast feeding at discharge were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no statistical difference between the two groups in the amount of postpartum hemorrhage within two hours, the amount of postpartum hemorrhage within two to 24 hours and the number of days in hospital ( P>0.05) . There was no statistical difference between the two groups in Apgar scores at one and five min after birth ( P>0.05) . There was no statistical difference between the two groups in the occurrence of re-attraction, respiratory abnormalities, resuscitation, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) transfer and other abnormalities within 90 minutes after birth ( P>0.05) . There was no statistical difference in the time of umbilical cord shedding between the two groups ( P>0.05) , and no umbilical infection occurred. The first foraging reflex in the intervention group was earlier than that in the control group, and the success rate of early initiation of breastfeeding was higher than that in the control group, and the differences was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . There was no statistical difference in the implementation of breast feeding between the two groups at discharge ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:It is safe and feasible to implement early essential newborn care technology during cesarean section, and it can effectively promote early initiation of breastfeeding, which is of great significance for breast feeding and has the value of clinical promotion.

Objective:To understand the symptom clusters of patients during transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) treatment for primary liver cancer and to identify the sentinel symptoms within the symptom clusters.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 170 patients with primary liver cancer who were admitted to the Interventional Department in Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University for TACE treatment from June 2022 to January 2023 were selected as research objects. From the day after TACE treatment to 4 days after surgery, M.D.Anderson Symptom Inventory-Chinese (MDASI-C) , The Symptom Module Specific to Primary Liver Cancer (TSM-PLC) and First Symptom Appearance Schedule were completed every day. Firstly, the principal component analysis method was used to determine the symptom clusters, and then the sentinel symptoms are determined based on the initial onset time of the symptoms within the cluster combined with the Apriori algorithm. A total of 170 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 163 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 95.88% (163/170) .Results:A total of 5 symptom clusters were extracted, including upper gastrointestinal tract, post embolism, feeling of illness, emotion and liver function impairment. Nausea, pain, difficulty sleeping, and sadness were sentinel symptoms in the upper gastrointestinal tract, post embolism, feeling of illness and emotional symptom groups, respectively. No clear sentinel symptoms were observed in the symptom cluster of liver function impairment.Conclusions:Primary liver cancer patients have multiple symptom clusters during TACE treatment, and the determination of sentinel symptoms is of great significance in improving symptom management efficiency and nursing quality.
