Three hundred patients aged≥60 year, who visited general practice clinic of Zhangjiakou Mingdebei Community Health Service Center or Beijing Fatou Community Health Service Center from March to May 2019, were randomly selected as study subjects. The prevalence of senile prutitus (SP) was calculated; the awareness, treatment and clinical characteristics of SP were surveyed with questionnaire. The degree of skin pruritus was compared among SP patients with different characteristics in the community, and the factors influencing pruritus of SP patients were analyzed. The results revealed that the prevalence of SP in elderly patients visiting community general practice clinic was 33.30% (198/600), the SP awareness rate was 29.29% (58/198), and the SP treatment rate was 23.23% (46/198). Frequent bath taken (>3 times/week, χ 2=9.129), long bathing time (>1 h/time, χ 2=12.742), regular use of alkaline detergents (χ 2=8.695), irregular life (χ 2 =14.819), spicy food (χ 2=9.852), not using moisturizer for skin care (χ 2=6.614), frequent drinking strong tea (χ 2=6.258), frequent drinking coffee (χ 2=6.513), poor sleep quality (χ 2=12.364) and irritability temperament (χ 2=23.120) were significantly associated with pruritus in elderly patients. (all P<0.05).The study indicates that the elderly patients in the community have a high incidence of SP, low awareness and low treatment rates. It is necessary to strengthen the health education, improve life style and live habits to reduce the incidence of SP in the community.

ObjectiveTo investigate the histological features as well as the factors influencing liver disease progression in Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). MethodsA total of 102 CHC patients who underwent percutaneous liver biopsy between August 2007 and May 2010 were recruited. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and transmission route of recruited patients were recorded. Serum levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST), HCV genotypes, HCV viral load and liver histological changes were detected. Statistical analysis was done by t test and Logistic regression. ResultsThe serum levels of ALT and AST in CHC patients with histological activity index (HAI) ≥4 were much higher, while platelet (PLT) counts were lower than those with HAI <4(t=2.209, 2. 298 and 2. 565, respectively; all P<0.05). Likewise, in patients with F≥3, the serum levels of ALT and AST as well as the mean age and the duration of infection were significantly elevated compared with F < 3 group ( t = 3.497, 2. 758, 2. 340 and 2. 570,respectively; all P<0. 05), while PLT counts were much lower (t = 2. 761, P=0. 007). The unvariate predictors for HAI≥4 were female, ALT>1 × upper limits of normal (ULN), AST level,F≥3, HCV RNA≥6 lgIU/mL and PLT counts. By mutivariate analysis, the Ishak stage score was the only independent predictor for HAI≥4 (OR 3.098, 95%CI 1.884-5. 092; P<0.01). Finally,the univariate predictors for F≥3 were age, BMI≥24 kg/m2 , ALT>1 × ULN, AST level, HAI≥4,PLT counts and duration of infection≥ 15 years. Multivariate analysis revealed that age (OR 1. 074,95%CI 1.006-1. 146; P=0.033), ALT level (OR 1. 035, 95%CI 1.015-1.055; P<0.01), ASTlevel (OR 0. 969, 95%CI 0. 948-0. 990; P=0. 005), the duration of infection ≥15 years (OR 37. 215, 95%CI 5. 816-238. 127; P<0.01) and HAI≥4 (OR 1. 939, 95%CI 1. 426-2. 636; P<0.01) were independent predictors for F≥ 3. ConclusionAge, ALT level, AST level, duration of infection≥15 years, HAI≥4 are independent predictors for liver fibrosis.
