Objective:To explore the effects of psychological suggestive therapy combined with diet restriction therapy on resilience and glycolipid metabolism in elderly patients with coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:A total of 200 elderly patients with coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited from June 2017 to March 2019. They were divided into control group and study group according to the random number table method, with 100 cases each. However, during the whole research cycle, some patients affected by various factors dropped out of the study, and the final number of patients was 92 cases in the study group and 87 cases in the control group. The study group received psychological suggestive therapy combined with dietary restriction therapy on the basis of the control group. The psychoelasticity of patients was assessed by concise psychoelasticity scale by physicians trained before and after intervention, and the changes of glucose and lipid metabolism were investigated before and after intervention.Results:After intervention, the scores of resilience (19.39 ± 3.29), self-improvement (16.56 ± 3.00), optimism (15.02 ± 2.50) in the study group were higher than those in the control group (15.97 ± 3.77, 10.58 ± 2.40, 9.20 ± 3.12), with significant differences ( t value was 4.459, 6.762, 6.220, P < 0.05). After intervention, the blood glucose index of the study group was generally better than that of the control group. After intervention, FPG, 2hFPG and HbA1c in the study group were (5.02 ± 0.45) mmol / L, (8.94 ± 1.43) mmol / L, (5.87 ± 0.65)% respectively, and those in the control group were (6.29 ± 1.71) mmol / L, (9.65 ± 1.4) mmol / L, (7.21 ± 1.05)% respectively, with statistically significant differences ( t value was 4.682, 5.214, 5.696, P < 0.05). After intervention, ApoA1, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C were (1.58 ± 0.32)mmol/L, (1.61 ± 0.58)mmol/L, (2.11 ± 0.85)mmol/L, (2.09 ± 0.67) mmol / L in the study group, and in the control group ApoA1, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C were (1.13 ± 0.33)mmol/L, (1.98 ± 0.69)mmol/L, (1.82 ± 0.63)mmol/L, (2.71 ± 0.79) mmol/L respectively ( t value was 3.036-4.256, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Psychological suggestive therapy combined with dietary restriction therapy can effectively improve the resilience of elderly patients with coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus, control the level of glycolipid metabolism, stabilize the condition and promote early recovery.

Osteoporosis development is closely associated with oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Taurine has potential antioxidant effects, but its role in osteoblasts is not clearly understood. The aim of this study was to determine the protective effects and mechanisms of actions of taurine on hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)-induced oxidative stress in osteoblast cells. UMR-106 cells were treated with taurine prior to H₂O₂ exposure. After treatment, cell viability, apoptosis, intracellular ROS production, malondialdehyde content, and alkaline phosphate (ALP) activity were measured. We also investigated the protein levels of β-catenin, ERK, CHOP and NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) along with the mRNA levels of Nrf2 downstream antioxidants. The results showed that pretreatment of taurine could reverse the inhibition of cell viability and suppress the induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner: taurine significantly reduced H₂O₂-induced oxidative damage and expression of CHOP, while it induced protein expression of Nrf2 and β-catenin and activated ERK phosphorylation. DKK1, a Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibitor, significantly suppressed the taurine-induced Nrf2 signaling pathway and increased CHOP. Activation of ERK signaling mediated by taurine in the presence of H₂O₂ was significantly inhibited by DKK1. These data demonstrated that taurine protects osteoblast cells against oxidative damage via Wnt/β-catenin-mediated activation of the ERK signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the association of osteosarcopenia with falls, risk of fracture, malnutrition among middle-aged and elderly adults.Methods:A total of 253 participants dwelling in Guangzhou community aged 40-90 years were included in this cross-sectional study from December 2017 to December 2019.Bone mineral density(BMD)was detected by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA). Body composition was analyzed by a bioelectrical impedance analysis.Handgrip strength and gait speed were examined.The 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture and hip fracture were evaluated by online WHO fracture risk assessment tool( FRAX?). Results:According to diagnostic criteria of AWGS and EWGSOP2, the incidences of osteosarcopenia varied from 5.1% to 7.6%, 5.1% to 11.4% respectively.After the adjustment for age and gender, Logistic regression analysis showed that osteosarcopenia was correlated with falls, risk of fracture and malnutrition.Osteosarcopenia definited by AWGS criteria was strongly correlated with falls( OR=3.27-5.68, P<0.05), osteosarcopenia definited by non-severe sarcopenia criteria was strongly correlated with the risk of hip fracture( OR=1.14-1.15, P<0.05), and fat-free mass index was strongly correlated with osteosarcopenia with different definitions( OR=0.21-0.48, P<0.05). Conclusions:Osteosarcopenia is associated with higher risk of falls, fracture and malnutrition in the Guangzhou community-dwelling middle-aged and elderly adults, and fat-free mass index is an independent risk factor for osteosarcopenia.
