Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2013;32(12):1300-1302
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of upper gastrointestinal diseases in very old people (aged ≥ 90 years),and to explore the necessity and safety of the gastroscopy for the super elderly people.Methods Clinical data of 50 very old people were retrospectively analyzed.Results The total detection rate of upper gastrointestinal disease was 76.0% (38/50),in which the reflux esophagitis (RE) was the most common (26.0%),followed by erosive gastritis (20.0%),atrophic gastritis (18.0 %),peptic ulcer (12.0 %),gastrointestinal cancer (10.0%),duodenitis (8.0%) and fundic gland polyps (6.0%) respectively.RE lesions detected by gastroscopy were mainly mild and were divided into endoscopic grade LA-A (46.1%),LA-B (30.8%),LA C (7.7%),and LA-D (15.4%) according to the Los Angeles classification.The most common symptoms were abdominal distension and anorexia,and the both incidences were 12.0%.There was no significant difference in the prevalence of clinical symptoms between the elderly people with upper gastrointestinal disease and without abnormal gastroscopic findings [44.7% (17/38) vs.41.7% (5/12),x2 =0.035,P>0.05].22 patients (44.0%) underwent gastroscopy under intravenous anesthesia.Conclusions The incidence of upper gastrointestinal disease is high in very old people,and mild reflux esophagitis is the most common.Clinical symptoms are little or asymptomatic in most very old people.Gastroscopy under intravenous anesthesia is safe and feasible for the very old people.

Objective To investigate the effect of clinical nursing pathway on patients with cerebral infarction. Methods Two hundred patients with cerebral infarction were randomized by random digit table into the clinical pathway group and the conventional nursing group.The former was managed with the clinical nursing pathway and the latter received conventional nursing. The neurologic impairment and the activities of daily life were assessed respectively by national institute of health stroke scale(NIHSS) and Barthel index(BI).The two groups were compared in terms of hospital stay,medical expense,patient’s satisfaction and curative effect. Results Compared to the conventional nursing group,the clinical pathway group was shorter at hospital stay,lower at lower hospitalization cost,higher at patient’s satisfaction and higher in the score by Barthel index,compared to the conventional nursing group(all P<0.05). Conclusion The application of clinical nursing pathway in patients with cerebral infarction can improve the activities of daily living and the quality of care,shorten length of stay,reduce medical cost and increase patients’satisfaction drgree.
6.CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SEROTONERGIC, ENKEPHALINERGIC,GABAERGIC, GLYCINERGIC, SUBSTANCE P-ERGIC TERMINALS AND CALCIUM BINDING PROTEINS-CONTAINING NOCICEPTIVE NEURONS IN RAT MEDULLARY DORSAL HORN

Calbindin-D28k (CB), calretinin (CR) and parvalbumin (PV) are the most common calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs). In the present study, FOS immunoreactivity was first induced in neurons of the medullary dorsal horn (MDH) of the rat by noxious orofacial stimulation; CaBPs (CB, CR and PV) in these neurons were then identified by imumunofluorescence histochemistry, and then, in addition, afferents to CaBPs/FOS double-labeled neurons were showed by immunofluorescence histochemical staining for the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) , glycine transporter 2 (GlyT2) , enkephalin (ENK) , serotonin (5-HT) or substance P (SP). Under the light microscope,we observed that: (1) neuronal cell bodies exhibiting FOS-immunoreactivity were present throughout all laminae of the MOH, with the highest concentration in lamina Ⅱ; (2) most CB-, CR- and PV-immunoreactive (IR) neurons were located in lamina Ⅱ , but some were also encountered in laminae Ⅰ and Ⅲ; (3) 5-HT-, GABA-, GlyT2-, ENK- and SP-IR fibers and terminals were also chiefly located in laminae Ⅰ and Ⅱ of the MDH; (4) some FOS-IR neurons showed CB-, CR-, or PV-immunoreactivity; (5) 5-HT-, GABA-, GlyT2- and ENK-IR terminals made close contacts with FOS/CB, FOS/CR or FOS/PV double-labeled neurons; (6) SP-IR terminals, as well as 5-HT-, GABA-, GlyT2- or ENK-IR terminals, closely contacted CB-, CR- or PV-containing neurons. Under the electron microscope, 5-HT-, GABA-, GlyT2- and ENK-IR terminals principally made symmetric (inhibitory) synaptic connections with CB-, CR- and PV-containing neurons were observed. These results suggest that 5-HT, GABA, glycine (Gly) and ENK may modulate transmission of orofacial noxious information by inhibiting nociceptive neurons that contain CaBPs in the rat MDH.

Objective To study whether L-cysteine and lysolecithin (16:0) could be as a serum markers in the detection of OVC for overcoming the OVC defects of early detection .Methods Totally 142 cases of healthy check -up patients ( control group ) 100 cases from First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in January 2012 to January 2014 were extracted patient specimens .These pa-tient specimens were used to detect by MALDI -TOF-MS mass spectrometer and obtain the peak m/z by the method of principal compo-nent analysis for screening expression difference between the two groups in the metabolites and the correlation between metabolites and pathological grade.Results The most difference substance between two groups were 184.05 and 496.30m/z which identified as LPC (16:0) and HCA;On HCA average level and detection rate , OVC group was significantly higher than control (P<0.01); On 184.05 and 496.30m/z peak area, control group was significantly higher than OVC group (P<0.01);HCA positively was correlated with patho-logic grade (P<0.05);184.05 and 496.30 m/z peak area were negative correlation with pathologic grade (P<0.05).Conclusion L-cysteine and lysolecithin (16:0) mechanism in the pathogenesis of OVC is unclear , but it can be used for the detection of serum OVC markers.

Objective To discuss the influence of individualized health education based on combination of TCM and western medicine on the life quality of patients with diabetes mellitus in order to supply novel idea and method for carried out education about diabetes mellitus. Methods Hospitalized patients (140 cases) were randomized into the control group and the test group with 70 cases in each group. Both groups received routine diabetes drugs treatment. The patients and their family members received individualized health education based on combination of TCM and western medicine during their hospitalization days and 6 months after discharge. SF-36 inventory and diabetes cognitive questionnaire was adopted to investigate the two groups. Results The diabetes cognitive degree of the test group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.01). Six items such as social function, systemic health, body pain, psychological health, vigor and emotional role function of the test group was different from those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Individualized health education based on combination of TCM and western medicine contributed to the improvement of patients' life quality.
