Objective:To investigate the current status of cognitive frailty among elderly patients in Urumqi and to identify its influencing factors.Methods:From March to December 2019, the elderly from 3 tertiary hospitals′ geriatrics centers in Urumqi were recruited using the general information questionnaire, FRAIL Scale, Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Clinical Dementia Rating.Results:A total of 1 006 elderly patients were surveyed, among which, 131(13.0%) cases were deemed to have developed cognitive frailty. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, depression, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale score and diabetes were influencing factors of cognitive frailty ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The prevalence rate of cognitive frailty in elderly patients is relatively high. Medical staff should attach great importance to the assessment of cognitive frailty in elderly patients and take targeted intervention in time to prevent, slow down or reverse the onset and development of cognitive frailty.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the dissolution curves similarity of generic and original preparation of Losartan potassium tablets,and to provide reference for improving quality evaluation of the preparation.METHODS:Using hydrochloric acid solution (pH 3.0),phosphate buffer solution(pH 4.5),phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.8) and water as medium,paddle method was adopted for dissolution test with dissolution medium volume of 900 mL and rotation speed of 50 r/min.UV-visible spectrophotometry was adopted to determine accumulative dissolution of generic and original preparation of Losartan potassium tablets with the detection wavelength of 256 um.The similarity of dissolution curves were evaluated by calculating similarity factor(f2).RESULTS:The linear range of losartan potassium was 12.11-35.96 μg/mL (r≥0.999 7).RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 5.0%.The recoveries of 4 dissolution media were 98.66%-100.84% (RSD=0.77%,n=9),98.91%-100.59% (RSD=0.49%,n=9),98.33%-101.39% (RSD=0.85%,n=9),99.46%-101.32% (RSD=0.55%,n=9).In 4 dissolution media,f2 of the dissolution curves of 3 batches of generic and original preparation of Losartan potassium tablets were all higher than 70.CONCLUSIONS:The dissolution curves of self-made and original preparation of Losartan potassium tablets show good similarity.
