Objective:To explore the effect of diet safety management based on swallowing function classification in perioperative period of elderly patients with hip fractures, so as to provide basis for improving perioperative food safety and shortening hospitalization time of patients with hip fracture.Methods:A total of 68 elderly patients with hip fractures in the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from December 2020 to August 2021 were selected and divided into experimental group and control group according to even and odd-number of admission number, each group contained 34 patients. The control group was given routine diet nursing and food safety education. The experimental group was given graded diet safety management according to the swallowing function evaluation results. The incidence of aspiration and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups.Results:The incidence of chocking during hospitalization was 5.1% (78/1 517) in the control group and 1.2% (17/1 402) in the experimental group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=35.73, P<0.01). The incidence of choking in the control group was 0.7% (11/1 517), and 0.4% (5/1 402) in the experimental group, and the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2=1.82, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in hospitalization time between the two groups, 10 (8,12) in the control group and 9 (8,11) in the experimental group ( Z=-1.33, P>0.05). Conclusions:The implementation of diet safety management based on swallowing function classification in elderly patients with hip fractures can reduce the incidence of coughing. Evaluation of swallowing function should be included in the evaluation of hip fractures in the elderly.

BACKGROUND:
Research on the relationship between residential altitude and hypertension incidence has been inconclusive. Evidence at low altitudes (i.e., <1,500 m) is scarce, let alone in older adults, a population segment with the highest hypertension prevalence. Thus, the objective of this study is to determine whether hypertension risk may be affected by altitude in older adults living at low altitudes.
METHODS:
This prospective cohort study collected data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). We selected 6,548 older adults (≥65 years) without hypertension at baseline (2008) and assessed events by the follow-up surveys done in 2011, 2014, and 2018 waves. The mean altitude of 613 residential units (county or district) in which the participants resided was extracted from the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and was accurate to within 30 m. The Cox regression model with penalized splines examined the linear or nonlinear link between altitude and hypertension. A random-effects Cox regression model was used to explore the linear association between altitude and hypertension.
RESULTS:
The overall rate of incident hypertension was 8.6 per 100-person years. The median altitude was 130.0 m (interquartile range [IQR] = 315.5 m). We observed that the exposure-response association between altitude and hypertension incidence was not linear. The shape of the exposure-response curve showed that three change points existed. Hypertension risk increased from the lowest to the first change point (247.1 m) and slightly fluctuated until the last change point (633.9 m). The risk decreased above the last change point. According to the categories stratified by the change points, altitude was only significantly associated with hypertension risk (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.003; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.002-1.005) under the first change point (247.1 m) after adjusting for related covariates.
CONCLUSION
Our study found that the association between altitude and hypertension risk might not be linear. We hope the further study can be conducted to confirm the generality of our findings.

Gastric ''inflammation-cancer'' transformation stars from inflammation and ends as gastric cancer (GC), and the pathogenesis is still unclear. In China, GC features high morbidity and mortality and poor prognosis, influencing the quality of life and physical and mental health of patients. Therefore, it is of great significance to construct the prevention and treatment system for GC. Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) plays a key role in the occurrence, development, and outcome of gastric ''inflammation-cancer'' transformation. Modern therapies for CAG generally aim at eliminating causes and alleviating clinical symptoms, which show satisfactory short-term efficacy, but the reverse and recurrence are common. Based on the holistic view, syndrome differentiation-based treatment, and the ''inflammation-cancer'' transformation in modern medicine, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes both prevention and treatment, with individualized therapies for CAG and GC to control the transformation. According to the pathogenesis of CAG-asthenia in origin and sthenia in superficiality and deficiency-excess in complexity, this study proposed the theory of spleen deficiency and pathogen stagnation in CAG, and believed spleen deficiency, pathogen, and stagnation are respectively the root cause of, the main factor of, and the key to ''inflammation-cancer'' transformation, respectively. Spleen deficiency and pathogen stagnation are closely related to the process of the transformation. For the treatment, the spleen-invigorating and pathogen-eliminating method should be used for invigorating the spleen to consolidate original Qi, improve the blood supply in stomach, and regulate immunity, and eliminating the pathogen to relieve stagnation, reduce the occurrence of non-controllable inflammation, and improve inflammatory micro-environment. As a result, the gastric inflammation is controlled at the early stage and the gastric ''inflammation-cancer'' transformation is blocked. The gastric mucosal lesions are blocked, delayed, or even reversed. This study provides a new idea in clinical diagnosis and treatment of CAG and in the prevention of GC.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Weiwei Tongtiao decoction (WTD) on chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) rats and the underlying mechanism. MethodA total of 90 SD rats were randomized into normal control group, model group, high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose WTD groups (18, 9, 4.5 g·kg-1·d-1 WTD, respectively, ig), and weifuchun control group (0.45 g·kg-1·d-1 weifuchun aqueous solution, ig), with 15 rats in each group. The N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) was employed to induced CAG in rats. After the modeling (identified by histopathological examination), the administration began and lasted 12 weeks. Then, gastric mucosa tissues of the rats were collected and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE), and the pathological changes of gastric mucosa were observed under the optical microscope. Real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and Western blotting were applied to examine the mRNA and protein expression of indexes in nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway in the gastric mucosa of rats. ResultCAG rats showed irregular arrangement and morphology of the inherent glands in gastric mucosa and the glands decreased or disappeared. In addition, inflammatory cell infiltration was observed in the lamina propria of CAG rats, and about 48.4% presented intestinal metaplasia. WTD significantly alleviated the reduction of the glands and intestinal metaplasia in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with the normal control group, the model group demonstrated increase in the mRNA expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), NF-κB p65, interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-1β, IL-10, IL-8α, and IL-8β, and protein expression of COX-2, NF-κB p65, and IL-10 (P<0.01). WTD and weifuchun lowered the mRNA expression of COX-2, NF-κB p65, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-10, IL-8α, and IL-8β, and the protein expression of COX-2, NF-κB p65, and IL-10 in gastric mucosa of CAG rats (P<0.01). The expression of the above indexes after the intervention with high-dose WTD was close to that of the normal control group. ConclusionWTD can improve or even reverse the diseased gastric mucosa of CAG rats, and the mechanism is the likelihood that WTD down-regulates the mRNA and protein expression of the indexes in NF-κB signaling pathway in gastric mucosa of CAG rats.

Objective:
To investigate the efficacy and safety of cuboid stereotactic aspiration of necrotic brain tissue for treating malignant middle cerebral artery infarction in the elderly patients.
Methods:
Sixteen elderly patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction were selected from June 2017 to January 2019 in our hospital. Patients were followed up for 6 months to evaluate the efficacy of stereotactic aspiration of necrotic brain tissue using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).
Results:
The 30-day mortality was 18.75%. Among the 16 elderly patients, 6 (37.5%) had an mRS score of 3 (defined as moderate disability), 6 (37.5%) had an mRS score of 4 (defined as moderate to severe disability), 1 (6.25%) had an mRS score of 5 (defined as severe disability), and 3 (18.75%) had an mRS score of 6. The probability of 6-month favorable outcome, defined as an mRS score of ≤3, was 37.5%, and the 6-month mortality was 18.75%.
Conclusions
It is a simple, minimally invasive, effective and safe method to treat malignant middle cerebral artery infarction in the elderly patients with cuboid stereotactic aspiration of necrotic brain tissue, which needs to be confirmed by further randomized controlled studies.
