Older people generally had low health literacy, age related cognition decline and some even progress into dementia, burden on society was aggravating. Cognition decline of the elderly could lead to the decrease of health literacy. Meanwhile, higher level of health literacy was a protective factor against cognition decline in the elderly. This paper aimed to explore the relationship between health literacy and cognitive function in the elderly population without dementia, and to provide a theoretical basis for improving the health literacy and cognitive function of the elderly.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of direct celiac ganglion irradiation with 125I seeds for pain relief secondary to advanced pancreatic carcinoma (PC).Methods This study enrolled 23 consecutive patients who had moderate to severe pain resulting from advanced PC.All patients underwent EUS-guided direct celiac ganglion irradiation with 125I seeds.Follow-up was conducted at least once weekly until death.Blood parameters,Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score,mean analgesic consumption,and complications were evaluated during follow-up.Results All patients successfully underwent implantation at one attempt.The mean number of seeds implanted in the celiac ganglion per patient was 4 (range 2-6).Immediately after the procedure,pain relief and analgesic consumption showed no significant changes compared with preoperative values.Six patients (26％) reported pain exacerbation.Two weeks later,the VAS score and mean analgesic consumption were significantly less than preoperative values.No procedure-related deaths or major complications occurred.Conclusion EUS-guided direct celiac ganglion irradiation with 125I seeds can reduce the VAS score and analgesic drug consumption in patients with unresectable PC.

Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Newest Vital Sign(NVS). Methods The NVS was translated and back-translated. Cultural adaption of scale was performed by Delphi expert consultation and pilot study. The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the NVS was tested in 451 Chinese residents. Results Chinese version of the NVS consisted of 6 items with Pearson correlation between item and total score of scale ranging from 0.50 to 0.71. Two factors were abstracted by exploratory factor analysis and explained 61.51% of total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the fitness of the model was acceptable:comparative fit index was 0.96, Tuker-Lewis index was 0.92, standardized root mean square residual was 0.04, root mean square error of approximation was 0.077. Cronbach α coefficient was 0.71, retest reliability was 0.92. Conclusions Chinese version of the NVS has good reliability and validity, which can be used to test the health literacy of residents in China.

Objective To explore the feasibility of establishing porcine model for training of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided celiac plexus paracentesis.Methods A total of 6 healthy pigs were sedated with an intramuscular injection of Ketamin at 10 mg/kg,followed by intravenous injection of 3% pentobarbital at 0.8 ml/kg.EUS was then performed and empty seeds were implanted into celiac plexus.Enhanced CT scan was performed to confirm the location of the implanted seeds.Results No animal died after the procedure.All seeds were accurately distributed on both sides of the celiac trunk except in one pig the seed was found in stomach by CT scan and was re-implanted another day.Conclusion Pigs are similar to human in anatomic structure and they can be excellent models for beginner endoscopy physicians to acquire the skill of EUS guided celiac plexus paracentesis.

Objective To evaluate the influence of brachytherapy with 125Ⅰ seeds on celiac ganglia in porcine models. Methods Twelve pigs were randomly assigned into 3 groups to accept celiac plexus block by bilateral injection with 2 non-radioactive seeds in group A (n = 4), 0.4 mCi seeds in Group B (n = 4) and 0.8 mCi seeds in Group C (n = 4), respectively. Prophylactic antibiotics were administered postoperatively. Enhanced CT and three-dimensional reconstruction of blood vessels were performed to confirm the proper placement of the seeds. The animals were sacrificed 14 days and 60 days after the procedure, and TUNEL assay was employed to study neuron apoptosis in ediac ganglia. Results The procedure was succossfully performed in,10 pigs(83.3%)and failed in two others. The rescue procedure was performed on the day after and succeeded in both pigs. Apoptosis of neurons significantly increased in brachytherapy groups than in the control group and it was positively correlated with dose and time of radiation. Conclusion Brachytherapy can cause apoptosis of neurons of celiac ganglion, which could be the basis of its clinical application.

ObjectiveTo assess the safety of celiac plexus brachytherapy with 125Ⅰseeds placementguided by endoscopic ultrasound in porcine model, and to evaluate its effect on surrounding vessels and organs.MethodsFourteen pigs were randomly divided into 4 groups to accept celiac plexus block by bilateral injection with 2 non-radioactive seeds in group A (n=4),0.4 mCi seeds in Group B (n=4),0.8 mCi seeds in Group C (n=4) and one lateral injection with 5 ml dehydrated alcohol,respectively.Abdominal X-ray,Enhanced CT and three-dimensional reconstruction of blood vessels were performed to confirm the proper placement of the seeds in group A,B and C.Routine blood test,liver and renal function,serum amylase and CD4+/CD8+ratio were examined preoperatively and at the end of the follow-up in all groups.Animals were euthanized in batch to observe the position of the implanted seeds.Tissues and organs around the seeds were dissected for pathological examination.ResultsThe procedure succeeded in 12 pigs (85.7%)and failed in two others (1 in group A,and 1 in C) due to inappropriate position.Rescue procedures were performed on another day and succeeded.No significant difference was found in routine blood test,liver and renal func-tion,serum amylase and CD4+/CD8+ratio,except WBC elevation and small abcesses were found 7 days after the procedure in one pig of group C.In the radiated area, there was degeneration,necrosis and mild in-flammation at the outer membrane of blood vessels,with fibrosis around,which was positively correlated with the radiation dosage and duration.There was no change at the muscular layer and the innermost membrane of blood vessels,and no thrombosis was found.In group D,the celiac trunk became slightly brown and wider with obvious hemorrhage,necrosis and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the outer membrane of blood vessles and connective tissues around.ConclusionBrachytherapy has little negative effect on the organs a-round. It does not harm immunnity but induces lesions in blood vessels. Compared with dehydrated alcohol,this negative effect is limited.Therefore,celiac plexus brachytherapy with125Ⅰseeds guided by endoscopic ultrasound is safe.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for failure of percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) for patients with infective pancreatic necrosis (IPN).Methods A retrospective review of medical records of patients with IPN who received PCD at Pancreatic Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of Changhai Hospital from April 2010 to June 2014 was performed.The patients were divided into 2 groups:(1) PCD success group (n =48) and (2) PCD failure group (n =12).The potential parameters for failure of PCD were recorded,which included age,sex,etiology,length of hospital stay,outcome,MCTSI,APACHE Ⅱ scores,number of organ failure,duration of use of antibiotics,duration of use of PPIs,if delayed fluid resuscitation occurred,start of enteral nutrition,nutrition status,etc,and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used.Results Univariate analysis showed MCTSI,number of organ failure,malnutrition,use of PPIs (more than two weeks),delayed enteral nutrition,delayed fluid resuscitation,the number of drainage catheter,number of aspiration,multi-drug resistant infections of drainage fluid were risk factors for failure of PCD;while multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that MCTSI (OR =3.33;95％ CI 1.52 ～ 7.29;P =0.003);multi-drug resistant infections of drainage fluid (OR =8.62;95 ％ CI 1.11 ～ 67.19;P =0.040) were risk factors for failure of PCD.Conclusions MCTSI and multi-drug resistant infections of drainage fluid can significantly influence the success rate of PCD.PCD should be carefully considered for patients with high score of MCTSI and multi-drug resistant infections of drainage fluid.

Objective Toinvestigatetheimpactofthedifferentrupturepoints(sac,neck,andtop) of intraoperative aneurysm rupture (IAR)on the prognosis of patients in anterior circulation aneurysm clipping.Methods Theclinicaldataof135consecutivepatients(148aneurysms)acceptedmicrosurgical aneurysm clipping from May 2009 to March 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. The prognostic evaluation of the patients after procedure was assessed by using the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS). The different aneurysm rupture points of IAR were used as influencing factors,and the relationship between the different rupture pointsandtheprognosisofpatientswasanalyzed.Results Duringclippingof148aneurysmsin 135 patients,31 aneurysms in 30 patients had intraoperative rupture (20. 9% of the aneurysms, 22.2% of the patients). Nine rupture points occurred on the top of aneurysms,17 occurred on the sac,and 5 occurred on neck. The Glasgow outcome scale (GOS)scores 5,4,3,2 and 1 were in 17,8,2,1 and 2 patients,respectively. A total of 25 patients had good prognosis and 5 cases had poor prognosis. There were no significant differences in the impact of different rupture points of IAR on the prognosis in patients of IAR (OR,100. 00,95% confidence interval 6. 764-18. 344,P=0. 006). Of the 25 patients with aneurysm sac or top rupture,1 case had poor prognosis. Of the 5 patients with aneurysm neck rupture, 4caseshadpoorprognosis.Conclusion Inanteriorcirculationaneurysmclipping,thedifferent aneurysm rupture points may have significant impact on the prognosis of patients,the aneurysm neck rupture is a main factor for resulting in the poor prognosis of patients.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the current situation of domestic and overseas medication therapy management (MTM) and the value of pharmacists in this service, to provide new ideas for the development of pharmaceutical care in China.METHODS: By viewing related literatures about MTM at home and abroad, the development background, related concepts, core elements, work pattern, implementation and research status at abroad and development situation at home were reviewed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: MTM is a service strategy that evolves from the practice of pharmaceutical care. It includes five core elements and is mainly provided by pharmacists either face-to-face or using telephone for patients who have chronic disease, use multiple medications and with excessive drug costs. Foreign MTM service is well developed and extensive studies have demonstrated its clinical, economy and cultural effects. Chinese government attaches great importance to the chronic disease management in old patients, which used to be administered mainly by doctors and nurses. And pharmacists' pharmaceutical care has gradually increased in the past five years. Currently there are a lot of reviews on MTM at home but the practical contents have just started and the empirical studies on the effectiveness evaluation are lacking. Pharmaceutical care model of chronic disease management in China can be explored and carried out learning from foreign MTM model.
