Objective To evaluate the effect of a community-based nutrition education program on the dietary quality of the elderly with diet balance index(DBI). Methods Eighty-three volunteers from Zhujing Town of Jinshan District of Shanghai with age ≥60 years were served as study objectives,and a total of 70 people completed the program.They were given nutritional guidance bimonthly in combination with measures such as community publications,panel discussions and individual interviews.Measurements of dietary intakes,which lasted for 3 d, were performed before intervention and 12 months after intervention,respectively.Diet quality was evaluated with DBI scoring system,and the parameters were compared before and after intervention. Results There were significant differences in DBI-Total Score(DBI-TS),DBI-Lower Bound Score(DBI-LBS)and DBI-Diet Quality Distance(DBI-DQD)before and after intervention for these 70 people (P<0.05).The proportion of subjects with adequate milk and soy product consumption increased from 7.1% before intervention to 20.0% after intervention,that with proper amount of salt intake from 22.9%to 51.5%.and that with diverse diet from 20.0%to 49.9%.The major DBI pattern changed from pattern B (47.1%) and pattern E(34.3%)to pattern B (34.3%) and pattern A (32.9%). Conclusion The community-based nutrition education program for the elderly can improve the diet quality of the elderly.

Objective To investigate the incidence and the factors related to male senile osteoporosiswith dual energy X - ray ahsorptiometry (DEXA). Methods 139 cases of healthy elderly men were examined by WHO T - Score with DEXA to estimate the incidence of male senile osteoporosis. The relationshipbetween osteoporosis and various parameters such as age, body weight, smoking etc. was assessed. The resultsof DEXA examination were compared with those of plain X - ray film of lateral view of lumbar spine, hip Singhindex etc. Bone turnover markers were examined to study their relationship with osteoporosis by DEXA. Results The incidence of male senile osteoporosis was 26. 6%. Body weight and smoking were closely relatedto osteoporosis. No signifieant relationship was found between bone turnover markers and osteoporosis. PlainX - ray film of lumbar spine and hip Singh index bore a relationship with osteoporosis by DEXA. ConclusionIncidence of male senile osteoporosis is rather high, and it is imper'tant to pay more attention to the preventionand treatment of male senile osteoporosis. DEXA equipment is not popular in general hospital, therefore theplain X - ray film of lumbar spine and hip Singh index were found to have some value for the diagnosis of senileosteoporosis.

This paper summarizes the kinds of long term care facilities, service delivery organization, service model, service role and experience of long-term service system in the United States. It provides referral implications for China to explore and establish its own long-term care service system. . There is a variety of long-term care services such as short and long-term stay, adult day care, and home care services, with a gradual change from institutional services to home and community ones. Long-term care services are provided by paid both formal and mostly unpaid informal caregivers. Informal family caregivers are most frequently daughters (29. 3%), followed by spouses with (21. 2%). With the increased availability of the family and community-based services, the family caregivers are more likely to share long term care services with the paid formal ones. The United States has a well-structured long-term care service system whose access mechanism is rigorous and systematic, emphasizing the evaluation of service quality and effectiveness. Moreover, the U. S. long term care service system pays more attention on elders' wishes, respecting their preferences and rights of choice on the services. Based on the experience of the United States, China should primarily focuses on establishing a family and community-based long term care service system with a variety of service delivery facilities, give a full play to the community health facilities, social partners, and families. The Chi-nese government should not only give a focus to the service institutions and content diversification, but should as well establish a sound and detailed assessment and evaluation standard system to access the services and assure the effec-tiveness of service quality with a humanized concern.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for clarifying the pharmacodynamic material basis of anti-inflammation effect of Uygur medicine Hyssopus cuspidatus. METHODS:HPLC was conducted to establish the fingerprint of 8 extracts with different po-larities. Using macrophage RAW264.7 as object,the inhibitory effect of extracts with different polarities on inflammatory factor ni-tric oxide(NO),TNF-α and IL-6 in supernatant of cell culture medium was detected,the differences of anti-inflammatory activity in vitro were compared. Grey correlation analysis method was used to analyze the spectrum-effect relationship of peak area of common peaks and anti-inflammation activity. RESULTS:The fingerprint of 8 extracts with different polarities showed obvious differences. Anti-inflammation in vitro results suggested that 30% ethanol extract had the strongest inhibitory effect on inflammatory cytokines in vitro. There were 14 common peaks in the established HPLC fingerprints,the 5 common peaks that was closely related to the in-hibitory effect of inflammatory factors in vitro were peak 8,6,5,10,13,respectively;peak 8 was rosmarinic acid. CONCLUSIONS:The established fingerprint and its spectrum-effect relationship with anti-inflammation activity in vitro can provide certain reference for its pharmacodynanic material basis study.
