Objective:To explore the influencing factors of bowel preparation quality in hospitalized elderly patients, and to find the appropriate waiting time from the end of bowel preparation to the beginning of colonoscopy.Methods:Baseline and clinical data of elderly patients over 60 years old who underwent colonoscopy in the Tenth People′s Hospital, Tongji University from February 2021 to August 2021 were collected. Multivariate analysis was used to screen the factors that might affect the quality of bowel preparation in hospitalized elderly patients. Patients were grouped according to waiting time before colonoscopy. After eliminating confounding factors using propensity matching analysis, the difference of bowel preparation quality among groups was compared.Results:251 patients were included in the study. Multivariate analysis revealed that, hypertension ( OR=3.530, 95% CI 1.295-9.618), chronic constipation ( OR=3.302,95% CI 1.132-9.632), dietary compliance ( OR=0.161, 95% CI 0.070-0.371), medication and drinking water compliance ( OR=0.167, 95% CI 0.070-0.397), exercise compliance after medication ( OR=2.245, 95% CI 1.040-4.845), The frequency of defecation after medication ( OR=0.446, 95% CI 0.308-0.647) and waiting time ( OR=0.537, 95% CI 0.387-0.745) were important factors affecting the quality of bowel preparation in hospitalized elderly patients ( P<0.05). There were differences in bowel preparation quality between groups of waiting times. The overall quality of bowel preparation in 120-180 min group was significantly better than that in 241-300 min group, 301-360 min group and>360 min group ( P<0.05). The overall quality of bowel preparation in 181-240 min group was better than that in >360 min group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences among other groups( P>0.05). The scores of cecum and ascending colon were the best in 120-180 min group, and the cleanliness of descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum was significantly higher in 241-300 min group, 301-360 min group and > 360 min group. The scores of descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum showed that the intestinal preparation quality of 181-240 min group was better than that of 301-360 min group and > 360 min group. Conclusions:The best examination time for elderly patients is about 180 minutes after bowelpreparation. Medical workers should flexibly guide the medication time to ensure that patients are in the best clean state of intestinal tract during examination.

Objective:To investigate the association between metabolic syndrome and the risk of early renal function injury in chronic kidney disease(CKD) in the elderly.Methods:A retrospective cohort was established based on health check-up data of 4 495 elderly residents in Mengzi City, Yunnan Province from January 2016 to December 2018. The medial history, living habits, and related physical examination information were collected. Cox hazard regression model was used to explore the association between metabolic syndrome, along with its components, and the early renal function injury in CKD. Results:The median age of the elderly was 71.00(67.00, 75.00) years, with metabolic syndrome detection rate of 21.98%. Early renal function injury of CKD developed in 1 300(28.92%) subjects during the follow-up. Univariate Cox regression showed that the number of metabolic syndrome components was associated with the risk of early kidney development in CKD. The HRs were 1.23 (95% CI 1.03-1.47, P=0.022) with 1 component, 1.54 (95% CI 1.28-1.84, P<0.001) with 2, and 1.38 (95% CI 1.14-1.67, P<0.001) with 3 or more. Multivariate Cox regression showed that elevated fasting triglycerides( HR=1.20, 95% CI 1.07-1.36, P=0.003) and lower high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C; HR=1.25, 95% CI 1.09-1.43, P=0.002) were risk factors for early kidney injury in CKD, while doing some physical activity( HR=0.57, 95% CI 0.33-0.98, P=0.042), or on daily basis( HR=0.57, 95% CI 0.49-0.66, P<0.001) was a protective factor for early kidney injury in CKD. Conclusion:The abnormality of one or more metabolic components can significantly increase the risk of early kidney injury in the elderly with CKD. Elevated triglyceride and decreased HDL-C may be the risk factors.

Objective To explore the regulatory and functional mechanism of angiopoietin-like 4(ANGPTL4)expression in gastric epithelial cells infected with Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori).Methods H.pylori-positive gastric specimens from Department of Gastroenterology of second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University in November 2021 and the gastric tissues of H.pylori-infected mice were collected,and the expression locations of ANGPTL4 in these gastric tissues were detected by immunofluorescence assay.After gastric epithelial cells and gastric organoids were infected with H.pylori,the expression of ANGPTL4 was detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting.The regulatory mechanism of H.pylori-induced ANGPTL4 expression was investigated by cellular models above.Recombinant ANGPTL4 was used to stimulate gastric epithelial cells to investigate the effect of ANGPTL4 on the claudin 1(CLDN1)expression.Results H.pylori infection significantly increased the expression of ANGPTL4 in gastric epithelial cells in a CagA-dependent,bacterial concentration-dependent and infection time-dependent manner(P<0.05).Compared to uninfected cells and CagA knockout(ΔcagA)H.pylori-induced ones,the ANGPTL4 expression was significantly increased in WT H.pylori-infected human and mouse gastric organoid(P<0.05).Blocking NF-κB signaling pathway significantly inhibited the enhanced ANGPTL4 expression in H.pylori-infected gastric epithelial cells(P<0.05).Recombinant ANGPTL4 activated ERK signaling pathway to down-regulate the CLDN1 expression in gastric epithelial cells(P<0.05).Conclusion H.pylori activates NF-κB signaling pathway to up-regulate ANGPTL4 expression in gastric epithelial cells in a CagA-dependent manner,and ANGPTL4 activates ERK signaling pathway to down-regulate the CLDN1 expression in gastric epithelial cells,which may contributes to the development of gastric diseases induced by H.pylori infection.
