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.

Objective To explore the comprehensive nursing intervention on coping style and self -efficacy in chronic hepatitis B patients .Methods Eighty chronic hepatitis B patients were chosen and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group , each with 40 cases.The control group received the routine nursing , and the observation group received the nursing intervention on the basis of routine nursing .The coping style and self-efficacy were compared through the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire ( MCMQ ) and General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES) between two groups after 3 weeks.Results The subscale scores of MCMQ including face, avoid and abandon were respectively (27.93 ±5.84), (10.91 ±5.90), (4.94 ±1.09) in the observation group after the intervention , and were better than those of the control group , and the differences were statistically significant (t=4.65,2.24,9.73, respectively;P<0.05).The differences were found in the scores of face, avoid and abandon in the observation group before and after the intervention ( P <0.01 ).The differences were found in the scores of avoid and abandon in the control group before and after the intervention (P<0.05).The total scores of GSES was (20.50 ±5.50) in the control group after the intervention , and was lower than (30.35 ±5.0) in the observation group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=8.38, P<0.05).Conclusions Nursing intervention can change the coping style and improve their self-efficacy in chronic hepatitis B patients .

Objective:To analyze the clinical effect of micronutrient-assisted treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods:The databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , Wanfang Data, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, Web of Science and The Cochrane Library were searched by computer. The literature search time limit was from the establishment of the database to December 2019. Two researchers strictly followed the inclusion and exclusion criteria to evaluate the quality of the literatures, and then used RevMan 5.3 software to perform Meta-analysis.Results:A total of 12 randomized controlled trials (RCT) were included. Meta-analysis results showed that the effect of vitamin A on the hemoglobin level of patients was statistically significantly different from that of placebo [ MD=0.46, 95% CI (0.14, 0.77) , P=0.01]. Compared with placebo, the effect of zinc on hemoglobin level was statistically significantly different [ MD=0.32, 95% CI (0.04, 0.61) , P=0.03]. Compared with placebo, the effect of zinc on mortality was statistically significantly different [ RD=0.06, 95% CI (0.01, 0.11) , P=0.02]. Compared with the control group, there was no statistically significant difference in micronutrients in negative conversion rates of tuberculosis sputum smear ( P> 0.05) . Conclusions:The intake of micronutrients can increase the hemoglobin level and reduce the fatality rate of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, but it has little influence on the negative conversion rate of tuberculosis sputum smear.

ObjectiveTo systematically compare the chemical compositional differences between Puerariae Thomsonii stem base(PTSB) and Puerariae Thomsonii Radix(PTR), and to explore the potential hepatoprotective effects of PTSB by liver metabolomics. MethodUltra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was used to analyze the chemical compositions of PTSB and PTR. Twenty Kunming mice aged 6-8 weeks, half male and half female, were randomly divided into the blank group(sterile water) and PTSB group(1.95 g·kg-1), with 10 mice in each group, and the drug was administered by gavage for 14 d, and the body mass was weighed once a day. After the last administration, mice were anesthetized, organs such as heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were collected, and the organ index was calculated. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to measure the levels of aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), total cholesterol(TC) and triglyceride(TG) in the serum of mice from each group, the morphological changes of heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining, and the regulation of PTSB for the hepatic metabolic profiles of mice was analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS, then the differential metabolites between the blank group and PTSB group were designated, and the metabolic pathways was enriched by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG). ResultA total of 19 common chemical constituents were identified from PTSB and PTR, all of which were the main pharmacodynamic substances of PTR. The pharmacodynamic results showed that PTSB could control the growth of body mass of mice and reduce the contents of TC, TG, ALT and AST in serum of mice. HE staining observations and organ indexes showed that there was no significant effect of PTSB on all major organs at the highest clinically equivalent dose. A total of 38 differential metabolites were identified by metabolomics, of which 35 were up-regulated and 3 were down-regulated. These differential metabolites were mainly compounds such as amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, steroids, nucleosides, pyrimidines and alkaloids. Three key metabolic pathways, including tyrosine metabolism, vitamin B6 metabolism and tryptophan metabolism, were screened by metabolic pathway analysis. ConclusionPTSB has a similar chemical composition to that of PTR, and it may regulate the metabolism of amino acids and vitamins through the flavonoids and isoflavonoids, thus exerting a potential hepatoprotective effect. This study provides an experimental reference for the clinical application and product development of PTSB.
