Objective To investigate the cognitive dificiency characteristics and the neuro electrophysiological mechanism of sleep disordered breathing(SDB) in school-age children.Methods20 cases of SDB children and 20 cases of normal group at 6-8 years old participated in the continue performance test(CPT-AX).The amplitude and latency of N2,P3 of event related potentials(ERPs) were measured and analysed at Fz leads,and the behavioral results were recorded at the same time.ResultsThere were no significant differences between SDB group and normal group in behavioral correct number (36.10±4.69 vs 35.05±3.49),the reaction time ((523.77±68.73)ms vs (496.59±78.65)ms) and false alarm number (1.0 (0.25,3.75) vs 0.5 (0.00,3.00))(all P>0.05).The SDB group showed significant increase in Go-P3 amplitudes compared with the normal group((10.25±6.46)μV vs (6.56±4.63)μV,P<0.05).The Go-P3 latency in SDB group was significantly prolonged than that in the normal group((438.80±59.72)ms vs (406±36.30)ms,P<0.05),and the Nogo-N2 amplitude in SDB group significantly decreased compared with the normal group ((-12.46±4.75)μV vs (-15.50±3.82)μV,P<0.05).ConclusionThe children aged 6 to 8 years old with sleep disordered breathing consume more resources and time to complete the attention process,like a compensatory response.And during the monitoring process there is a resource shortage that results in obvious defect in process of inhibition.

Objective:A one-day nutritional survey study was conducted on geriatric inpatients in the Zhejiang region to evaluate their nutritional and health status.The study aimed to assess the nutritional and health status of elderly patients in the hospital, as well as perform a correlation analysis on the factors influencing the nutritional status of geriatric inpatients.The findings aim to provide evidence to support clinical interventions.Methods:This multicenter cross-sectional study involved conducting a one-day nutritional survey among geriatric inpatients in 42 medical units across Zhejiang, China.Questionnaires were utilized to gather demographic information, record 24-hour dietary intake, calculate total calorie and protein intake, screen for nutrition-related geriatric syndromes, and collect laboratory data from inpatients in the geriatrics department of these medical facilities.Analysis of the data was performed using SPSS 25.0 software to compare groups with varying nutritional statuses and identify potential influencing factors on the nutritional status of elderly hospitalized patients.Results:A total of 325 valid surveys(97.9%)were collected from 332 senior inpatients.Among them, 30 individuals(9.2%)were classified in the malnutrition group, 120 individuals(36.9%)were in the group at risk for malnutrition, and 175 individuals(53.8%)were in the group with appropriate nutrition.Approximately 37.8%(123 out of 325)of elderly hospitalized patients met the recommended minimum daily protein intake of 1g/(kg·d).Following adjustment for confounding variables, the results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis revealed that shorter daily sedentary time(2-4h), independent ambulation, assisted ambulation, maintaining regular food intake before hospitalization, and good or fair self-perceived health were protective factors for the nutritional status of elderly hospitalized patients.Conversely, having fewer than 5 teeth was identified as a risk factor.Conclusions:The prehospital living status of elderly hospitalized patients is closely related to their nutritional status.It is important to prioritize nutritional assessment and provide intervention guidance for lifestyle improvements in this population.

Objective To evaluate the role of NOX2 in bupivacaine-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in nerve cells.Methods SH-SY5Y cells were seeded in culture plates and divided into 4 groups (n =11 each) using a random number table:small interfering RNA (siRNA) negative control group (group NC),siRNA negative control plus bupivacaine group (group NC +B),NOX2 siRNA group and NOX2 siRNA plus bupivacaine group (group NOX2 siRNA + B).In NC and NOX2 siRNA groups,the cells were transfected with negative siRNA and NOX2 siRNA,respectively,and then incubated in the culture medium for 24 h.In NC+B and NOX2 siRNA+B groups,cells were transfected with negative siRNA and NOX2 siRNA,respectively,new plates were used,the cells were incubated for 3 h with bupivacaine at the final concentration of 1.5 mmol/L,the culture medium was then replaced,and the cells were incubated until 24 h.The level of intracellular ROS was measured using the fluorogenic probe dihydroethidium,the cell apoptosis was determined by TUNEL,and the expression of activated caspase-3 and caspase-9 was detected using Western blot.Apoptosis rate was calculated.Results Compared with group NC,the level of ROS and apoptosis rate were significantly increased,and the expression of activated caspase-3 and caspase-9 was up-regulated in group NC+B (P< 0.05),the level of ROS was significantly increased,and the expression of activated caspase-3 and caspase-9 was up-regulated (P<0.05),and no significant change was found in apoptosis rate in group NOX2 siRNA+B (P>0.05),and no significant change was found in the level of ROS or apoptosis rate (P>0.05),and the expression of activated caspase-3 and caspase-9 was significantly up-regulated in group NOX2 siRNA (P< 0.05).Compared with group NC+B,the level of ROS and apoptosis rate were significantly decreased,and the expression of activated caspase-3 and caspase-9 was down-regulated in group NOX2 siRNA+B (P<0.05).Conclusion NOX2 is involved in the pathophysiological mechanism of bupivacaine-induced burst production of ROS in nerve cells.

Objective:To investigate the awareness of sarcopenia and knowledge about its prevention and control in elderly patients with cardiovascular disease and analyze potential influencing factors for the awareness rate of sarcopenia, in order to provide a theoretical foundation for further developing a precise health education program for elderly patients with cardiovascular disease and sarcopenia.Methods:In this multicenter cross-sectional study, the representative sampling method was used via a questionnaire to collect demographic data, awareness of sarcopenia, and knowledge about its prevention and control from 576 elderly patients aged 60 years and over receiving treatment between March and August 2022 at 12 hospitals including Zhejiang Hospital.Meanwhile, possible influencing factors on the awareness rate of sarcopenia in elderly cardiovascular disease patients were analyzed.Results:The overall awareness rate of sarcopenia in elderly patients with cardiovascular disease was 43.2%(249/576).The awareness rates for sarcopenia-related declines in grip strength and walking speed were 39.9%(230/576)and 39.8%(229/576), respectively.The rates of awareness that sarcopenia is more likely to occur in very elderly people was 37.8%(218/576)and the rate of awareness for its more likely occurrence in elderly people with chronic diseases was 29.3%(169/576).The rates of awareness that resistance exercise and protein supplementation could prevent or improve sarcopenia were 33.9%(195/576)and 37.0%(213/576), respectively.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis found that being female and being 70-89 years old were independent risk factors affecting the awareness of sarcopenia and related knowledge about its prevention and control, while high school education and above and living alone were independent protective factors.Conclusions:The awareness rate of sarcopenia and knowledge about its prevention and control in elderly patients with cardiovascular disease is low and is significantly correlated to the female gender, advanced age, high educational achievement, living alone and other factors.Therefore, when education about sarcopenia is conducted, a precise health education program for sarcopenia should be established to improve the awareness rate of sarcopenia in elderly patients with cardiovascular disease, thus minimizing or delaying the occurrence and development of sarcopenia as much as possible.
