Objective:To conduct a scoping review on the impact of community environment on the health of older adults from the perspective of person-environment fit, so as to provide reference for the creation of targeted care environments and the construction of elderly friendly communities.Methods:Literature on the impact of community environment on the health of older adults from the perspective of person-environment fit was searched on China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, CINAHL, PsycInfo and so on. The search period was from database establishment to December 31, 2023. Literature was screened and data was extracted based on inclusion criteria.Results:A total of 19 articles were included, and the methods of person-environment fit included compensation and consistency. Sixteen articles described how community environment promoted the health of older adults by compensating for the decline in individual abilities and socio-economic disadvantages of older adults. The poorer the individual abilities and lower the socio-economic status of older adults, the greater the impact of environmental factors. Three articles mentioned that the consistency between community environment and the needs of older adults could promote their health.Conclusions:The interaction between the individual characteristics of older adults and their surrounding environmental resources determines their health status. When building elderly friendly communities and providing care environments, consideration should be given to the individual abilities and needs of older adults, and the impact mechanism of the environment on the health of older adults can be explored from multiple perspectives.

Objective:To explore the current situation of the intrinsic capacity of elderly people in the community and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From September 2022 to March 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 360 elderly community residents from Xicheng District, Beijing, and Xingtai City, Hebei Province, as the research subjects. The subjects were surveyed using the Intrinsic Capacity Assessment Questionnaire, Intrinsic Capacity Influencing Factors Questionnaire, Barthel Index, and Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale.Results:A total of 360 questionnaires were distributed, and 360 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 100.0% (360/360). The overall impairment rate of intrinsic capacity among 360 elderly people in the community was 90.3% (325/360), and the impairment rates in various fields from high to low were sensation, psychology, vitality, cognition, and exercise. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, gender, residential pattern, education level, work status, grip strength, number of geriatric syndrome, self-rated health status, adverse life events, number of social activities, transportation conditions, and social security were the influencing factors of the intrinsic capacity of elderly people in the community, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The impairment rate of intrinsic capacity among elderly people in the community is relatively high. Grassroots medical and nursing staff should assess the intrinsic capacity of elderly people in the community in health promotion work, identify elderly people with decreased intrinsic capacity early and carry out effective interventions to prevent elderly people from becoming disabled and dependent on care.

Objective:To carry out a scoping review of research related to the use of virtual reality technology in geriatric nursing.Methods:Guided by the scoping review framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley, Chinese and English literature on the effect of virtual reality technology in geriatric nursing was systematically searched on databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, Embase and so on. The search period was from database establishment to July 1, 2023. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, and summarized the content of the literature.Results:A total of 35 articles were included. The research mainly involved the impact of virtual reality technology on the cognitive function, physical function, psychological state, symptom relief, health management, and teaching effectiveness of geriatric nursing. Among them, 27 articles indicated that virtual reality technology had positive effects, while 8 articles did not clarify the advantages and differences between virtual reality technology and traditional methods.Conclusions:Virtual reality technology has development potential in geriatric nursing, but virtual device intervention may cause discomfort symptoms such as dizziness and vomiting in the elderly, and is influenced by individual digital literacy. Research should focus on improving the comfort of using the equipment and enriching its usage scenarios.

Our hospital first used the housing and training information management platform in 2018 in order to improve the management efficiency and teaching quality of standardized resident training in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, through continuous optimization and upgrading of system functions and the mobile APP terminal, the integrated development of teaching and management and the maximization of resource sharing have been realized, thus making up for the defects and deficiencies of the traditional resident training management mode. Our practice shows that the new resident training management mode based on informatization mobile platform can not only save time and effort for departments to grasp all aspects of resident training management, but also enable residents to complete the resident training plan step by step and reasonably with improvement in their knowledge, skills, and competence. Therefore, the new resident training management mode has broad application prospects.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, differential diagnosis, treatments and prognosis of facial nerve hemangioma and schwannoma at genicular ganglion, so as to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatments of facial nerve tumor at genicular ganglion.Methods:Clinical data of 13 patients with facial nerve tumors at genicular ganglion confirmed by postoperative pathology in the Ninth People′s Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from March 2018 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including seven cases of hemangioma and six cases of schwannoma. There were eight males and five females. Their ages ranged from 20 to 65, with an average age of 40. The course of disease ranged from 3 to 118 months, with an average of 52 months. All the patients underwent preoperative HRCT of the temporal bone and facial nerve dynamic contrast-enhanced(DCE) MRI examinations. All the patients had detailed surgical procedures and at least one-year postoperative follow-up.Results:On HRCT of the temporal bone, (4/7) hemangioma at geniculate ganglion showed characteristic honeycomb appearance, while 6/6 schwannoma and 3/7 hemangiomas showed expansive bone changes. On DCE-MRI, geniculate ganglion hemangioma (7/7) showed characteristic "point-to-surface" enhancement, and schwannoma (6/6) showed characteristic "face-to-surface" enhancement. For five hemangioma-patients with HB-Ⅱ-Ⅳ before surgery, the facial nerve anatomy was completely preserved through transcanal endoscopic approach(TEA), and the facial nerve function improved one year after surgery (two cases of HB-I, two cases of HB-Ⅱ, and one case of HB-Ⅲ). For two patients, with preoperative facial nerve function HB-Ⅴ-Ⅵ, since their tumors was inseparable from the nerves, they were performed with facial nerve anastomosis during the surgery, and the facial nerve function was improved to HB-Ⅳ level one year after surgery. For six patients with meningioma whose facial nerve function was greater than or equal to HB-Ⅲ, based on the preoperative hearing level, the involved segments, and duration of facial paralysis, three of them were conducted surgeries through middle cranial fossa approach, one by translabyrinthine approach, and one via mastoid approach. Two patients among them with complete facial paralysis over three years preoperatively were not performed facial nerve anastomosis after total resections of the tumors, and there was no improvement in facial nerve function one year after surgery. Three patients underwent facial nerve anastomosis after total tumor resections, and their facial nerve function was HB-Ⅲ in one patient, HB-Ⅳ in two patients one year after surgery. One patient (preoperative HB-Ⅲ) had a normal hearing level preoperatively, and the tumor involved the labyrinth segment. To protect the hearing, partial tumor was resected through the middle cranial fossa approach, and facial nerve function improved to HB-Ⅱ one year after surgery.Conclusions:Temporal bone HRCT combined with DCE-MRI are useful for the differential diagnosis of hemangioma and schwannoma at geniculate ganglion and provide references for preoperative clinical decision makings. It is extremely necessary to select the appropriate surgical approach based on the patient′s hearing and involved segments. For geniculate ganglion hemangioma, early surgery can improve the possibilities of anatomical integrity of facial nerve, thereby improving facial nerve function postoperatively.TEA is a kind of surgical method worth consideration, with the characteristics of minimally invasive, favorable postoperative features, and so on. For schwannoma, one-stage functional reconstruction of the facial nerve is recommended during the resection of the tumors because of the inevitable damage to the anatomical integrity of the facial nerve.
