Objective:To understand the current situation and influencing factors of successful aging in widowed elderly.Methods:From May to October 2019, 225 widowed elderly people were investigated by questionnaire in 7 communities and 5 villages in Shandong Province. The Successful Aging Scale of the Flood was used to assess their successful aging status. The general data sheet, Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support(MSPSS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and Mini Mental State Examination(MMSE) were used to measure its influencing factors.Results:The successful aging score of the widowed elderly was 46.22 ± 9.49. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of the successful aging of the widowed elderly were: social activity participation, household registration, consciously successful aging status, psychological resilience, MMSE—attention and computing power, perceived social support—other people, leisure physical activity, which can explain a total of 70.7% of the regression equation.Conclusions:The successful aging status of widowed old people is at a low level, and its influencing factors have both common factors and specific characteristics compared with those with spouses. In particular, more attention should be paid to "participation in social activities", and the widowed old people should be actively encouraged to participate and improve their successful aging.

Objective:To investigate the immune effects of Clostridium difficile toxoid B (CdtB) vaccine formulated with different mucosal adjuvants through microneedle immunization, and to provide ideas for the prevention and treatment of Clostridium difficile infection. Methods:CdtB vaccine was prepared with purified Clostridium difficile toxin B(TcdB) after formaldehyde detoxification. Female BALB/c mice were immunized with different doses of vaccine alone or in combination with mucosal adjuvants. The titers of specific serum IgG and fecal IgA were detected at 0 d, 7 d, 14 d, 28 d and 42 d after immunization. The protective effects of CdtB vaccine were evaluated by cell neutralization assay and Clostridium difficile challenge infection. Results:(1) With the increase of immune dose, the mice immunized with CdtB vaccine alone by microneedle not only produced better serum specific IgG, but also had higher level of IgA in feces. (2) When the mice were immunized with CdtB vaccine containing LT or CTB adjuvant by microneedle, the trend of serum specific IgG titer in each group increased with the increase of immune dose, especially in the group containing LT adjuvant. There were significant differences in the trend of specific IgA titer in feces between the adjuvant groups and the group without adjuvant, but the adjuvant effect was not obvious. (3) No significant difference in serum IgG titer was observed between the mice immunized with 10 μg CdtB by microneedle or intraperitoneal injection, but microneedle immunization significantly increased fecal IgA level. (4) The neutralization titers of specific antibodies in mouse serum after immunization and the test results of challenge protection in mice confirmed that the use of CdtB vaccine had certain protective effects.Conclusions:CdtB vaccine had better immune effects in mice through microneedle immunization, but the adjuvant effects of LT and CTB were not significant.

With the development of medical technology, the fixation method of the oral duct is constantly updated, and the selection of a relatively safe, effective, simple and fast fixation method of the oral duct has been widely concerned. However, the use of traditional 3M I-shaped tape fixation needs to be cut, which wastes time and easily leads to the outward displacement of the tracheal tube, and is easy to be soaked by oral secretions, resulting in facial skin damage. Therefore, the medical staffs of the department of critical care medicine of Hengshui People's Hospital designed a self-made tracheal catheter fixing band (composed of the main structure, the fixed band, the internal adjusting structure and the internal structure of the fixed block), and obtained the national utility model patent (ZL 2018 2 0508681.6). The inner side of the fixing band is fixed with a spongy body, which can absorb the secretions around the mouth to avoid the moist condition around the mouth and cheek skin. Meanwhile, the endotracheal catheter is fixed with the help of the card slot, hinge and other structures, which can fully ensure the fixation effect. A total of 80 patients undergoing airway intubation were admitted to the department of critical care medicine of our hospital from October 2020 to September 2021. They were divided into observation group and control group according to intubation time (single number and double number), with 40 patients in each group. The observation group was fixed with self-made tracheal catheter fixation band. Through evidence-based practice path, relevant literatures at home and abroad were searched for clinical practice basis, and the practice plan was formulated and implemented. The control group was fixed with 3M tape + inch tape according to the traditional method. The fixation of tracheal tube and the degree of facial skin injury were compared between the two groups. All patients were included in the final analysis without shedding cases. Severe catheter displacement occurred in 3 patients (7.5%) in the control group, and no severe catheter displacement occurred in the observation group. The incidence of facial skin injury in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [25.0% (10/40) vs. 55.0% (22/40), P < 0.05]. Moreover, the fixation time of the observation group was significantly shorter than that of the control group (minute: 12.11±1.69 vs 17.59±1.27, P < 0.05). The application of self-made tracheal catheter fixation band can shorten the fixation time of tracheal catheter and reduce the incidence of unplanned endotracheal extubation (UEE) and facial skin injury, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Third space fluid(TSF) is a common complication of advanced malignancies, including malignant pleural effusion, malignant ascites, intracranial effusion, and pelvic effusion, etc. The pharmacokinetics(PK) of anti-tumor drugs in vivo are influenced by various factors, and TSF is one of the potential factors that contributes to PK variations, which may consequently affect the efficacy and safety of anti-tumor drugs. This paper aimed to comprehensively investigate PK studies related to anti-tumor drugs in patients with malignant tumors accompanied by TSF. The paper summarized the PK characteristics of common cytotoxic drugs, small molecule targeted drugs, and monoclonal antibodies in both blood and TSF.
