Objective To evaluate the influence of Danhong injection on endothelial progenitor cells ,inflammatory factor and neural function in patients with acute cerebral infarction .Methods 116 cases of patients with acute cerebral infarction in our hospi-tal from April 2016 to November 2016 were chosen for the research ,and were divided into research group (Danhong injection with routine treatment) and control group (routine treatment) ,the changes of endothelial progenitor cells ,neural function and inflamma-tory factors between two group were compared 30 d after treatment .Results Endothelial progenitor cells in peripheral blood be-tween two group had no statistically significant difference before treatment (P>0 .05) .After treatment ,endothelial progenitor cells of two group all increased ,and had a statistically significant difference compared with before (P< 0 .05) .Endothelial progenitor cells at 7 d ,14 d and 30 d after treatment of research group were higher than those of control group ,and the difference was statisti-cally significant (P< 0 .05) .NIHSS score before treatment between two group had no statistically significant difference (P>0 .05) .After treatment ,NIHSS score of two group all decreased ,and had statistically significant difference compared with before (P<0 .05) .NIHSS score at 7 d ,14 d and 30 d after treatment of research group were higher than those of control group ,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .IL-6 and IL-10 levels before treatment between two group had no statistically sig-nificant difference (P>0 .05) .After treatment ,IL-6 and IL-10 levels of two group all decreased ,and had a statistically significant difference compared with before (P<0 .05) .IL-6 and IL-10 levels at 7 d and 14 d after treatment of research group were higher than those of control group ,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Danhong injection could effec-tively improve the level of endothelial progenitor cells and inflammatory ,and promote the recovery of neural function .

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of Acute Care of the Elderly(ACE)model and its existing problems in the clinical practice for older adults with acute clinical conditions.Methods:Using the random number table method, a random number sequence was generated, and the patients admitted to the Department of Geriatrics of Shenzhen Nanshan Hospital due to acute diseases From January 2019 to September 2021 were enrolled in the ACE model intervention group(160 cases)and the control group(77 cases)in a 2: 1 ratio.The inclusion criteria were based on disease severity, frailty assessment, and activity of daily living(ADL)assessment.The intervention time was 1-3 weeks.Outcomes of the patients include ADL, hospitalization days, hospitalization expenses, drug proportion, human resource investments, adverse events, 30-day readmission rate, and 1-year mortality.Results:There were no significant difference in baseline indicators such as frailty index and ADL score between the two groups at admission.The ADL score(Barthel index)of the ACE group was significantly improved compared with the control group at discharge(81.71±14.23 vs.70.9±23.89, P<0.001)and at 30 days after discharge(85.84±15.25 vs.68.29±30.91, P<0.001). The hospital cost[(12 735.81±6 541.41)¥ vs.(16 391.54±12 962.34)¥, P=0.002], drug proportion(21.34% vs.28.93 %, P=0.036)and 30-day readmission rate(13.1% vs.23.4%, P=0.037)of the ACE group were significantly lower compared to the control group.The human resource input(32.97±6.72 vs.25.03±5.31, P=0.008)and patient satisfaction(98.23% vs.90.66%, P=0.031)in the ACE group were significantly higher than those of the control group.(4)The incidence of adverse events during hospitalization was significantly lower in the ACE group than in the control group in terms of aspiration(0.63% vs.20.8%, P<0.001), falls(0 vs.10.4%, P<0.001), incontinence dermatitis(0 vs.3.9%, P=0.033), and 1-year mortality(6.3% vs.24.7%, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the average length of stay(8.98±4.25 vs.10.03±5.32, P=0.101), pressure sores(13.01±4.77 vs.13.27±4.89, P=0.364), DVT risk score(8.53±2.79 vs.8.89±2.76, P=0.340)and medical staff satisfaction(73% vs.80%, P=0.240)between the two groups. Conclusions:The ACE model helps to reduce the disability rate of elderly patients with frailty, adverse events during hospitalization, save drug costs, and improve patient satisfaction.It is worth promoting in geriatric practice, but its localization management details and processes still face many challenges.
