Objective To analyze the status of supply and the affected factors of the home care of the elderly in community of Shenzhen.Methods The investigation was carried out in 78 community health ser-vice centers and 216 elderly from 6 communities using self-designed questionnaire.Results 84% of the el-derly had the demand of home care, 38.1% of them had even received home care services.In 32 demand items of home care, the top 6 were in turn the blood pressure monitoring, the blood sugar monitoring, the health consults, the caregivers guidance, the psychological care, medication instruction.48 of 78 commu-nity health service center provided door-to-door services, 44% of them(home care service center)provided more than 10 projects, 67% of the center provided more than 5 projects, 17% of them provided 2 projects, 30 community health service center did not provide door-to-door service.The main reasons that influenced home care delivery in community were the shortage of nursing staff of home medical care, the risk factors, the medical environment, and the limited health care facilities.Conclusions The elderly has large de-mand to the home care service, home care which the community health center provided is lagging and in short supply.It is imperative to increase the number of community nurses, improve the community home care profession standard and promote stable development of home care.

Objective To investigate the methods of isolation, cultivation of adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) from the rats'adipose tissue and the feasibility of inducting differentiation to chondrocyte.Methods The adipose tissue was obtained from the wistar's male rats, and it was isolated, cultivated, and subcultured. The expression of CD29 in the subcultured ADSCs was detected by immunofluorescence. The 3rd generation ADSCs was cultured in the medium contained TGF-β, and the presence was identified by type Ⅱ collagen immunohistochemistry. Results The character of ADSCs'morphology could be observed by microscope, and it can be identified by immunofluorescence. Through the course of inducting the ADSCs to chondrocyte, the feasibility of inducting ADSCs to chondrocyte showed that type Ⅱ collagen was expressed.Conclusion We demonstrated the presence of stem cells in the adipose tissue, and the stability of biological feature in vitro. The chondrocyte could be obtained from the adipose tissue through the committed differentiation, induction, cultivation by exogenous transforming growth factor (TGF-β). The ability of the adipose stem cell differentiating to chondrocyte was also proved.

Objective To assess the efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) combined with prednisone in the treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) patients with positive serum phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibody.Methods An open prospective study was performed on twenty-four biopsy-proven IMN patients with positive serum PLA2R antibody in Guangzhou First People''s Hospital from June 2012 to June 2016.The 24 patients were divided into two groups: MMF group in which MMF combined with prednisone was given for 12 months and CTX group in which intravenous cyclophosphamide (CTX) was monthly given combined with oral prednisone.Results After 6 months of immunosuppressive therapy,complete remission and partial remission rates were 25.0% vs.16.7% and 25.0% vs.25.0% in the MMF group and CTX group,respectively (P>0.05).In the MMF group and CTX group,serum PLA2R antibody in the same amount (8/12,66.7%) of patients turned negative.At the end of twelve-month treatment,all patients with negative PLA2R antibodies achieved complete or partial remission.Clinical remission (including complete and partial remission) rates in the MMF group and CTX group were both 66.7%.After immunosuppressive therapy,the levels of proteinuria and serum albumin in the two groups were significantly improved,but no significant difference were found between the two groups (proteinuria:F within-grouP=98.688,P<0.01;F between-grouP=0.133,P=0.719;F cross-grouP=1.223,P=0.304;serum albumin:F within-grouP=30.629,P<0.01;F between-grouP=0.137,P=0.715;F cros-grouP=0.455,P=0.565).At the end of six and twelve months of treatment,the proteinuria (after six months,MMF group: (2 893±2 515) mg/g vs.(6 236±2 117) mg/g,t=-3.522,P=0.002;CTX group: (2 690±2 254) mg/g vs.(5 386±2 447) mg/g,t=-2.808,P=0.010;after twelve months,MMF group:1 025(99-4 635) mg/g vs.(6 236±2 117) mg/g,Z=-3.291,P<0.0005;CTX group: (775(41-3 517) mg/g vs.(5 386±2 447) mg/g,Z=-3.118,P=0.001) and serum albumin levels (after six months,MMF group: (28.5±9.7) g/L vs.(19.8±4.4) g/L,t=2.841,P=0.012;CTX group: (29.0±7.6) g/L vs.(22.3±4.1) g/L,t=2.690,P=0.016;at the end of twelve months of treatment,,MMF group: (32.4±8.5) g/L vs.(19.8±4.4) g/L,t=4.570,P<0.0005;TX group: (32.2±7.9) g/L vs.(22.3±4.1) g/L,t=3.862,P=0.001) of the two groups were better than those prior to treatment.Conclusion For the IMN patients with positive serum PLA2R antibody,MMF combined with prednisone was as effective as conventional CTX combined with prednisone in the negative conversion of PLA2R antibody and the remission.The negative conversion of PLA2R antibody after 6 months of immunosuppressive treatment was an important indicator of predicting the remission.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate plus nimodipine in treating transient cerebral ischemic attack.Methods A total of 159 outpatients and inpatients with transient cerebral ischemic attack in the neurosurgery department and the neurology outpatient department of our hospital from January 1,2012 to September 1,2016 were divided into 3 groups.The group A(43 cases) orally took clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate plus aspirin;the group B (51 cases) treated with oral clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate plus nimodipine;the group C(65 cases) was treated with clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate plus nimotop.The curative effects were observed in 3 groups.The differences of PT.APTT,FIB and PLT in 3 groups were compared between before and after treatment.Results The total effective rate of the group A and C was significantly better than that of the group B(P<0.05),the curative effect had no statistical difference between the group A and C (P>0.05);the effect of the group B and group C on coagulation was superior to that of the group A(P<0.05).The three group had no severe bleeding events(cerebral bleeding,etc.),the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion Clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate combined with nimotop can significantly reduce the frequency of transient cerebral ischemic attack,has little influence on the coagulation indicators,and is safe and effective.
