OBJECTIVE:To compare therapeutic efficacy and safety of desflurane and sevoflurane for anesthesia of elderly pa-tients. METHODS:A randomized,parallel-controlled method was used,120 elderly patients undergoing anesthesia were random-ized into trial group and control group,with 60 cases in each group. Based on routine medication and disposal,control group was additionally given sevoflurane for anesthesia,and trial group given desflurane for anesthesia. The blood pressure and heart rate were recorded before anesthesia,2 min and 10 min after intubation,2 min and 30 min after the start of the operation;the extubation time,eye opening time,consciousness recovery time and postoperative complications were also recorded. RESULTS:10 min after intubation,the heart rate of trial group was significantly faster then that of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05);the blood pressure and heart rate of 2 groups had no statistically significant difference between 2 groups at other time points(P>0.05). The extubation time and consciousness recovery time of trial group were significantly shorter than those of control group, with statistical significance(P<0.05). The postoperative complications mainly were hypopiesia,hypertension,bronchospasm,nau-sea and vomiting,and dysphoria;the incidence of postoperative complications in trial group and control group were 25.0% and 40.0%,with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Desflurane is effective with less postoperative complications for the anesthesia of elderly patients.

Objective To investigate the influence of high-fat diet in the intestinal flora,fecal weight and its water content in rats, and to clarify the effect and significance of high-fat diet in the occurrence of obesity forming. Methods Twenty Sprague-Dawley (SD)rats were randomly divided into normal diet (ND)group and high-fat diet (HF)group (n=10).The rats in ND group were fed with normal diet,and the rats in HF group were fed with diet rich in oil and fat.The fresh feces were collected separately on days 1,15,30,and 49 for analysis of weight, water content,and intestinal flora.Results On the 49th day,the wet weight and water content of feces of the rats in ND group were (6.61 ± 0.17)g and (37.07 ± 3.04)%,respectively,while those in HF group were (4.46±0.30)g and (18.04±2.23)% (P<0.05).Compared with ND group ,the fecal pellets in HF group were increased obviously from the 7th day (P<0.05).There were obvious changes in intestinal microbial populations of HF group. The counts of enterococci, bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus, Bacteroides bacteria were significantly decreased on the day 49, but the count of Escherichia coli was increased significantly (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion High-fat diet can result in decrease for weight,water content,and pellets of feces;it can change the structure of intestinal flora. As result, there is a possibility that all of changes above can promote obesity in the future.

Objective:
To investigate the influencing factors of infectious disease-specific health literacy (IDSHL) among rural residents in Dongxiang Autonomous County, and to construct a nomogram-based model for prediction of IDSHL.
Methods:
Totally 1 250 rural residents at ages of 15 years and older were sampled from Dongxiang Autonomous County using a stratified random sampling method. Participants' IDSHL was evaluated using the IDSHL Assessment Scale among Chinese Residents, and factors affecting the participants' IDSHL were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. A nomogram-based model was created, and the predictive effectiveness of this model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test and C-index.
Results:
A total of 1 223 valid respondents were enrolled, including 687 men (56.17%) and 536 women (43.83%), and the proportion of IDSHL was 48.48%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified age (reference: 60 years and older; 30 to <40 years: OR=4.273, 95%CI: 2.397-7.617; 40 to <50 years: OR=3.938, 95%CI: 2.238-6.928), education level (reference: illiteracy/semi-illiteracy; primary school: OR=2.140, 95%CI: 1.456-3.144; high school/vocational high school/technical secondary school: OR=2.914, 95%CI: 1.652-5.138; junior college and above: OR=4.514, 95%CI: 2.261-9.011), healthcare seeking/medications in the past 2 weeks (reference: yes; no: OR=2.025, 95%CI: 1.346-3.046), self-rated health (reference: good; generally: OR=0.603, 95%CI: 0.376-0.966; poor: OR=0.462, 95%CI: 0.284-0.751) and daily average duration spent online (reference: no internet access; <1 h: OR=1.859, 95%CI: 1.306-3.437; 1 to <2 h, OR=1.996, 95%CI: 1.344-3.380; 2 to <3 h: OR=2.132, 95%CI: 1.109-3.116; 3 h and longer: OR=2.119, 95%CI: 1.175-3.390) as factors affecting IDSHL among rural residents in Dongxiang Autonomous County. The area under the ROC curve of the model was 0.774 (95%CI: 0.741-0.807) and the model had high calibration and differentiation levels [Hosmer-Lemeshow test: χ2=13.276, P=0.103; internal model validation (bootstrapping): mean absolute error=0.019; C-index=0.764].
Conclusions
Age, education level, healthcare seeking/medications in the past 2 weeks, self-rated health status and daily average duration spent online are factors affecting IDSHL among rural residents in Dongxiang Autonomous County. The nomogram model created based on these factors has a high efficiency and applicability for prediction of IDSHL among rural residents in Dongxiang Autonomous County.
