BACKGROUND: With the increase of senile population, it needs to further improve their mental health when improving their physical health. To study the depressive status of retired elderly people in order to provide basis for effective community nursing intervention.OBJECTIVE: To investigate and analyze the depression incidence among retired elderly people and conducted correlative factors analysis in order to improve the nursing service to aged people's mental health.DESIGN: Cross-sectional sampling study towards retired senior people.SETTING: Nursing department of a medical college.PARTICIPANTS: This study was completed in Nursing Department of North China Coal Medical College during September to December 2002. It conducted questionnaire survey to 1 000 retired people in Tangshan city by family visit. There were 574 male and 426 female who aged from 60 to 88years old with mean age of 67 years.METHODS: To adopt geriatric depression scale and general condition questionnaire investigation to individuals.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Depression scale score, depression incidence and frequency of correlative factors RESULTS: Mild depression accounts for 17.2% while moderate and severe depression account for 5% among retired elderly people. There is close relationship between factors such as retired veterans, female, low education,lack of social support, empty life, lack of exercise and poor self-assessed health and depression incidence(x2 = 9.80 - 175.93, P < 0. 05).CONCLUSION: The incidence of senile depression among retired elderly people is pretty high so that it is important to pay attention to mental care towards retried people when doing community nursing, especially to divorced, widowed, female and low educated retired people.

Objective To explore the circadian rhythm of interleukin (IL)-6 in collagen induced arthritis (CIA) rats and investigate the effectiveness and safety of methotrexate (MTX) administered according to IL-6 rhythm.Methods Serum IL-6 concentrations of CIA and normal rats at different time points were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).CIA rats were randomly divided into the experimental group A,experimental group B and control group.MTX (1/7 mg·kg-1 ·d-1) was administered once a day when the IL-6 level began to increase or decrease in the experimental group,while MTX (1 mg/kg) administered once a week in the control group.Arthritis scores and leukocyte counts were observed.The production of IL-6 and C reactive protein (CRP) levels in the serum were measured.Moreover,histological changes in the ankle joint were examined.One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA),two independent sample t test were used to evaluate the experimental data.Results The plasma IL-6 levels in CIA rats were different at different time points,which began to increase at 18:00 and decrease at 6:00.Arthritis score in the experimental group A (4.8±0.7)was lower than that in the control group (5.8±1.0,t=2.256,P=0.0406) and experimental group B (5.5±0.5,t=2.393,P=0.0313).The levels of TNF-α [(185±21) ng/L],IL-6 [(99±6) ng/L],IL-1β[(20.1±1.6) ng/L] and CRP[(1251±282) μg/L] in the experimental group A were significantly lower than those in control group [TNF-α:(207±10) ng/L,t=2.726,P=0.016 4;IL-6:(100±6) ng/L,t=2.669,P=0.0183;IL-1β:(22.0±1.3) ng/L,t=2.814,P=0.0138;CRP:(1 417±278) μg/L,t=2.369,P=0.0327].The level of IL-6 in the experimental group A[(93±6) ng/L] was lower than that in the experimental group B [(99±6) ng/L,t=2.323,P=0.0358].Compared with the control group [(9650±1062)/μl],the counts of leukocyte in the experimental group A [(4595±603)/μl,t=3.841,P=0.0064] and experimental group B [(3833±585)/μl,t=4.442,P=0.003] were significantly lower.Compared with the control group (9.1 ±2.0),histopathology scores in the experimental group A (6.6±1.3,t=2.606,P=0.015) and experimental group B (7.4±1.3,t=3.857,P=0.0007) were significantly lower.Conclusion The plasma IL-6 levels in CIA rats have shown evident circadian rhythm.There-fore,once a day administration is better than once a week.The therapeutic effect of RA may be improved by administering MTX at the time points according to the circadian rhythm of IL-6.

Objective To investigate whether B-cell activating factor (BAFF) involved in the patho-genesis of lupus nephritis (LN) by regulating phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling. Methods Twenty-eight lupus nephritis patients and 20 controls were included in this study. The clinical data were collected. BAFF levels in plasma were measured by ELISA, and the relationship between systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) and BAFF were analyzed. The mRNA and protein levels of BAFF, phosphorylated-PI3K (p-PI3K), phosphorylated-Akt (p-Akt), phosphorylated-mTOR (p-mTOR) and Bcl-2 in kidney tissues were measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman correlation analysis. Results ①Plasma BAFF levels were significantly higher in LN patients [(580 ±45) ng/L] compared with controls [(208 ±30) ng/L](Z=-5.856, P<0.01), and significant positive correlation was found between plasma BAFF levels with SLEDAI (r=0.723, P<0.01). ② Plasma BAFF level in LN patients was positively correlated with 24 h UP and anti-dsDNA titers (r=0.381, 0.461, P<0.05). The protein level of BAFF in kidney tissues was positively correlated with 24 h UP and anti-dsDNA titer (r=0.469, 0.489, P<0.05).③The mRNA levels of BAFF, p-PI3K, p-Akt, p-mTOR and Bcl-2 in kidney tissues were increased in patients compared to controls[5.8±1.8 vs 2.1±0.7, Z=-4.915, P<0.01;6.7±0.9 vs 1.71±0.53, Z=-5.857, P<0.01;5.6±0.9 vs 1.8 ±0.5, Z=-5.751, P<0.01; 5.6 ±1.4 vs 1.6 ±0.4, Z=-5.291, P<0.01; 2.11 ±0.36 vs 1.33 ±0.22, Z=-4.844, P<0.01].④The protein levels of BAFF, p-PI3K, p-Akt, p-mTOR and Bcl-2 in kidney tissues were increased in patients compared to controls [0.72±0.19 vs 0.31±0.05, Z=-4.747, P<0.01;0.73±0.11 vs 0.33±0.09, Z=-5.834, P<0.01;0.77±0.06 vs 0.22±0.07, Z=-5.855, P<0.01;1.18±0.27 vs 0.47±0.13, Z=-5.416, P<0.01;2.08±0.37 vs 1.32±0.18, Z=-4.998, P<0.01]. Conclusion The findings of this study indicate that BAFF may participate in the pathogenesis of LN by regulating PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling.
