BACKGROUND: Health status of elderly people is an important problem concerned by the whole society. To find the way of preventing loss of functional status of daily life for elderly people is the key to generally improving the quality of life in elderly people.OBJECTIVE: To observe the main characteristics of function loss in healthy elderly people and analyze the influencing factors of the change of functional indexes in elderly people in normal functional status.DESIGN: Contrast observation; Logistic analysis.SETTING: Student's Office, Shangrao Normal College.PARTICIPANTS: All the data were from the sampling questionnaire survey on health status of 1 700 people including retired cadres and employees from 11 cities of Jiangxi province. The survey was conducted by Senile Physical Education Association of Jiangxi Province in January 2004.METHODS: The test was performed depending on 4 indexes in physical self-maintenance scale including dressing, taking food, bathing and toileting along with other indexes of shopping, calling, riding, going upstairs to the third floor, walking for 1 000 m, taking things by fingers and squatting & standing. These 11 indexes were used for evaluating the functional status of daily life in elderly people. According to international definition,people with difficulty in one or more indexes could be defined as ability loss of self-cave in daily life. The participants were demanded to give the score of difficulty in independently completing each activity including not difficult (1), somewhat difficult (2), very difficult (3), completely impossible (4). The total sum of 11 scores was defined as functional status index of daily life. Its value reflected the whole situation of functional status of daily life in elderly people. The higher the index was, the worse the functional status was. Comparison was conducted among groups of different gender and age, and Logistic regression analysis was used for evaluationand analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Evaluation of functional index, function loss rate of daily life, index in independent physical self-maintenance ability of daily life.RESULTS: ① Normal functional status of elderly people is various due to the different age, gender, constitution, marital status, living situation,employment history, economic status and education background etc. ② As far as function loss rate of daily life in healthy elderly people was concerned, male was higher than female, and people taking part-time jobs and rehired after retirement were higher than other retirees. When it came to loss rate of motor function of lower limbs, widowed people were higher than not widowed, and the higher the education, the better motor functional status of lower limbs the male had, while the situation was reversed for female.CONCLUSION: Loss rate of normal functional status of elderly people significantly decreases as their age increases, and it is relevant to the complexity and difficulty of activities of life. Normal functional status of elderly people is related to social support, economic status, psychological and mental status.

OBJECTIVE:To study the persistence of the effects of nucleoside (acid) analogues in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) after drug withdrawal. METHODS:150 cases of CHB were selected and received nucleoside (acid) ana-logues for one year at least. They were divided into the standard group(n=56)and non standard group(n=87)according to the drug withdrawal standard stated in Guidelines for Prevention and Treatment of CHB,and followed up for one year except 7 cas-es of drug withdrawal who were followed up less than one year. HBV serum markers HBVM and HBV-DNA were detected quan-titatively in 2 groups. CHB recurrence,HBsAg disappearance and the change of HBV in serum were observed in 2 groups after drug withdrawal. RESULTS:The recurrence rate of CHB patients with HBeAg (+) in standard group and non standard group were lower than those with HBeAg(-),with statistical significance(P<0.01 or P<0.05);that of CHB patients with HBeAg (+) in standard group was lowe than those with HBeAg (+) in non standard group,with statistical significance (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in recurrence rate of CHB patients with HBeAg(-)between standard group and non stan-dard group(P>0.05);the total recurrence rate of standard group was lower than that of non standard group,with statistical sig-nificance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in recurrence rate between 2 groups after drug withdrawal following 4 kinds of nucleoside (acid) analogue monotherapy (P>0.05). Among sustained responders,HBsAg of 3 patients disappeared in standard group,including 2 cases of HBsAg seroconversion,1 case of no HBsAg seroconversion. Among patients with recurrent CHB,2 patients suffered from HBeAg(+)again in standard group,and 1 patient with HBeAg(-)developed liver cancer;5 patients suffered from HBeAg(+)again in non standard group,including 1 patient died and 1 patient with HBeAg(-)devel-oped liver cancer. CONCLUSIONS:Taking Guidelines for Prevention and Treatment of CHB as drug withdrawal standard,there still is a high recurrence rate after stopping nucleoside(acid)analogues;the recurrence rate of patients with HBeAg(-)is high-er than those with HBeAg(+),and that of patients in non standard group is higher than in standard group. The types of nucleo-side(acid)analogues do not influence recurrence rate after drug withdrawal.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of cinepazide maleate combined with oxiracetam in the treat-ment of vascular dementia. METHODS:62 patients with vascular dementia were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,with 31 patients in each group. Patients in control group were treated with Oxiracetam injection 4g/d for 3weeks. Patients in treat-ment group were treated with cinepazide maleate 160 mg/d for 3 weeks on the basis of control group. The patients of 2 groups were exam-ined with Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE)and Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL)before and after treatment. RESULTS:There was statistically significant difference in MMSE and ADL scores of 2 groups before and after treatment(P<0.05);MMSE score and ADL score of treatment group was better than that of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05);Obvious ADR was not found in both groups. CONCLUSIONS:Cinepazide maleate combined with oxiracetam can significantly improve ADL and MMSE score in patients with vascular dementia,improve the quality of life,showing significant and good clinical efficacy.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a simple and feasible method for rapid analysis of drug consumption patterns,and to im-prove the level of hospital pharmacy management. METHODS:Taking Motilium tablet as an example,the actual order amount da-ta of 24 months were analyzed by time series seasonal decomposition method;several key components of change trend were extract-ed by SPSS software,i.g. smoothed trend-cycle(STC),seasonal factors(SAF)and seasonally adjusted series(SAS). The varia-tion of components data series was observed to obtain the conclusion,and then compared with direct-vision method. RESULTS:The seasonal decomposition method had high prediction accuracy,the mean absolute percent error (MARE)(0.17) was less than that of error value by direct-vision method (0.24) significantly. CONCLUSIONS:This method can found drug consumption pat-terns quickly and accurately with the help of software. Based on this aspect,stock adjustment strategy can combine daily manage-ment and long-term dynamic management conveniently so as to improve the level of drug management.

Objective To evaluate the effect ofBazheng powder combined with levofloxacin on renal tissue injure of patients after renal extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy.Methods A total of 100 patients with renal calculus were randomly divided into a Bazheng powder group (50 patients) and a control group (50 patients). ESWL was used in the 2 groups. After ESWL operation, patients in the control group were administered with large amount of drinking water and appropriate exercises to promote stone removal. And on this basis, ethanesulfonic acid levofloxacin was administered for successive 3 days. TheBazheng powder group was additionally addedBazheng powder on the basis of the control group for 15 days. 15 days later, C Cys and NGAL and therapeutic effect in both groups were evaluated.Results The total effective rate of theBazheng powder group was significantly better than the control group (96%vs. 60%,χ2=16.842,P<0.01). The serum Cys C (0.97 ± 0.10 mg/Lvs. 1.13 ± 0.25 mg/L,t=4.202) and NGAL(4.04 ± 1.32 g/Lvs. 6.91 ± 2.96 g/L,t=6.262) in the Bazheng powder group decreased, the serum Cys C (0.95 ± 0.12 mg/Lvs. 1.09 ± 0.20 mg/L,t=4.244) and NGAL(4.66 ±1.57 g/Lvs. 7.19 ± 1.81 g/L,t=7.762) levels in the control group were also decreased after the treatment (P<0.01), andBazheng powde group of postoperative urinary NGAL level was significantly lower than the control group (t=2.137,P=0.035).ConclusionBazheng powder combined with ESWL can accelerate renal calculi removal and repair renal injury after ESWL operation. We also speculate that the best interval is 2 weeks for two lithoclasty operation.
