This article introduced HUANG Hai-long’s clinical experience in treating miscellaneous diseases, such as hysteromyoma, secondary infertility and hemospermia, and introduced the therapeutical effect of hualiu decoction, which was one of HUANG Hai-long’s empirical formula, and explained the clinical experience in treating hemospermia by the method of applying clearing after tonifying.

BACKGROUND: Telomerase can maintain the telomere length and avoid cel replicative senescence and apoptosis in somatic cells. Its catalytic subunit cal ed telomerase reverse transcriptase has roles in mediating cellsurvival and anti-apoptotic functions. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of human telomerase reverse transcriptase on amyloid β1-40-induced human embryonic cortical neurons injury. METHODS: Human cortical neurons derived from 12-16 weeks old aborted fetuses were transfected with recombinant adenovirus vector encoding human telomerase reverse transcriptase. Expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase was evaluated by immunocytochemical staining. Telomerase activity was measured using a PCR-based telomeric repeat amplification protocol enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Human embryonic cortical neurons were treated with 10 μmol/L ol/L amyloid β1-40 after transfected for 3 days. Cel viability, reactive oxygen species levels and glutathione contents in human embryonic cortical neurons were respectively detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, fluorescent probe 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate and chromatometry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase reached peak at 3 days after transfection, and the telomerase activity was rebuilt; 10 μmol/L amyloid β1-40 could significantly reduce the cel viability of neurons and glutathione content (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01), and increase the reactive oxygen species levels (P < 0.05). The neurons transfected with human telomerase reverse transcriptase gene could be significantly against the toxicity of amyloid β1-40 and increase the cel viability and glutathione content (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01), and decrease the reactive oxygen species levels (P < 0.05). The results indicate that human telomerase reverse transcriptase can protect amyloid β1-40-induced human embryonic cortical neurons injury

Objective:To systematically review the current situation and risk factors of social isolation among elderly people in Chinese communities.Methods:The research on social isolation of elderly people in Chinese communities was electronically searched on China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. The search period was from database establishment to August 1, 2023. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, quality evaluation, and data extraction, and used Stata 17.0 software to conduct Meta-analysis on the incidence and risk factors of social isolation among elderly people in the community.Results:A total of 29 articles were included, with a total of 49 713 samples. Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of social isolation among elderly people in Chinese communities was 29.5%. Advanced age, education below college level, poor self-rated health, lack of exercise, coexistence of chronic diseases, impaired daily living activities, hearing loss, depression, lack of spouse, low family care, low social support, and low social participation were the main risk factors for social isolation among elderly people in the community ( OR ranging from 1.57 to 3.34, P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of social isolation among elderly people in Chinese communities is high, and there are many risk factors. Medical and nursing staff should strengthen early screening for social isolation among the elderly and provide early intervention for the risk factors.

Objective:To explore the effect of restrictive perineal incision evaluation combined with prone flexion delivery on reducing the perineal incision rate.Methods:The convenient sampling method was used to select 440 primiparas who delivered naturally in Wuxi People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from June to November 2020 as research objects. According to the random number table method, the primiparas were divided into the observation group and the control group, with 220 cases in each group. The observation group was scored item by item according to the Restrictive Perineotomy Assessment Scale, and the indications of perineotomy were strictly performed according to the final score. The control group judged whether to undergo perineotomy according to subjective experience. The prone flexion delivery was used in both groups and the delivery outcomes of the two groups were compared.Results:The perineal incision rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . The perineal laceration degree of the observation group was less than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P< 0.05) . The rate of poor perineal wound healing in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The degree of postpartum perineal pain in the observation group was less than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of neonatal asphyxia between the two groups ( P>0.05) . There was no neonatal injury in the two groups. Conclusions:Construction and application of Restrictive Perineotomy Assessment Scale avoid midwives to judge based on subjective experience and improve the accuracy of perineotomy assessment. The combination with prone flexion delivery can further reduce the rate of perineotomy and poor healing rate of postpartum perineal wound and reduce postpartum perineal pain, which is an effective method to improve postpartum perineal outcome and ensure the safety of mother and children.
