Objective:To explore the current situation of ageism among older adults in megacity communities and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From November to December 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 200 older adults who visited the Niujie Community Health Service Center in Xicheng District, Beijing as the research subject. A survey was conducted on older adults using the General Information Questionnaire, Barthel Index, 15-Item Geriatric Depression Scale, Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection and Resolve Scale (Family APGAR Scale), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Social Support Rating Scale, Lubben Social Network Scale, and Ageism Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of ageism among older adults in the community.Results:A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed and 200 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 100.00% (200/200). The total score of ageism among 200 older adults in the community was (3.55±0.31), with objective and subjective scores of (3.59±0.28) and (3.50±0.48), respectively. Multiple linear regression showed that occupational status, pre-retirement or current work, family care, self-esteem, and social support were the influencing factors of ageism among older adults in the community ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Ageism among older adults is influenced by various factors. Medical and nursing staff should focus on older adults who are retired, mainly engaged in physical work, and have poor family and social support when formulating intervention strategies. Community health workers should regularly organize activities to encourage older adults to actively participate, enhance their sense of social participation, reduce ageism, so as to promote healthy aging.

Objective:To investigate the status and influencing factors of different types of cognitive frailty in aged inpatients with hypertension.Methods:Totally 300 aged patients with hypertension admitted to the Cardiology, Geriatrics, and Endocrinology Departments of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, from April to October 2022 were selected by convenience sampling. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Fried Frailty Phenotype (FP), the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the 9-item Subjective Cognitive Decline Questionnaire-9 (SCD-Q9), the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) .Results:A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed and returned, yielding a 100.00% response rate. Among the 300 aged hypertensive patients, 74 were diagnosed with reversible cognitive frailty (RCF) and 98 with potentially reversible cognitive frailty (PRCF). Logistic vegression analysis showed that, factors influencing RCF included daily exercise habits and the use of thiazide diuretics ( P<0.05) ; factors influencing PRCF included age, pre-retirement occupation, daily exercise habits, sleep quality, Barthel Index score, and serum albumin levels ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The status of both RCF and PRCF is relatively high among aged inpatients with hypertension. The influencing factors for different types of cognitive frailty vary. Targeted interventions based on both common and specific influencing factors should be developed to reverse or slow the progression of cognitive frailty in aged hypertensive patients.

Standardized cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of patients prior to the arrival of emergency medical services can significantly improve survival rate after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). According to statistics, about 40% to 85% of CPR led to chest fractures, making bystanders alarm, and reducing the willingness of rescuing by CPR. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a CPR protection device that is convenient for placing in public places outside the hospital and conforms to the operation habit of freehand CPR. In view of the above problems, medical students majored in emergency and rescue medicine and anesthesiology in Xuzhou Medical University, together with students majored in product design in Southeast University, designed a portable CPR protection device under the guidance of doctors working in department of emergency medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, and obtained the national invention patent authorization of China (patent number: ZL 2021 1 0309001.4) and the national utility model patent authorization of China (patent number: ZL 2021 2 0591084.6). The device is composed of a foldable frame, support components, guide slide rails and compression body, which provides guidance and guarantee for the implementation of CPR, thus users can accurately grasp the implementation process, compression amplitude, strength and frequency, and effectively prevent accidental injuries such as rib fractures caused by CPR compression. The device is small, easy to store and move, with low manufacturing cost, making it suitable for social popularization.
