Objective Geriatric medicine has become an important medical subspecialty,and will have broad prospects for development.By reviewing the brief history of geriatric medicine,it displays its emergence,birth,concept and scope under different background of social civilization and culture between western and eastern countries.Moreover,it presents the development courses of geriatric medicine in terms of clinical medicine,nursing,education,disciplinary development,academic organization,management and innovation among different countries.As the world's population ages,geriatric medicine is facing both great challenges and opportunities.Only by learning the knowledge and experience from the history and renewing ideas,healthcare professionals can promote the comprehensive development of geriatric medicine,which will be full of vigor and vitality.

Objective To explore the features of clinical manifestations and electrophysiology of spinal muscular atrophy(SMA) in children.Methods The clinical features and laboratory data were analyzed in 32 children with SMA,electromyography tests were carried out in 28 patients and the muscle biopsy were performed in 24 cases.Results The 32 cases were subdivided into 3 clinical groups,15 cases were SMAⅠ,12 cases were SMAⅡ,5 cases were SMAⅢ.They were all characterized by progressive muscle weakness associated with hyptonia and atrophy.The clinical distinction between SMAⅠto SMAⅢ reflected different age of onset and disease severity.All cases of SMAⅠhad symptoms of respiratory disability,only 1 case of SMAⅡ had paradoxical breathing and none of SMAⅢ had similarly symptoms.Electromyographic studies showed a pattern of denervation with no sensory involvement.The rate of spontaneous potential was 87%,with gentle strain,the duration of motor unit was extended(30%-150%) and the amplitude of it was increased(90%-450%),the motor nerve conduction velocity was reduced slightly in 28% patients.The muscle biopsy provided evidence of skeletal muscle denervation with groups of atrophy.Conclusions The clinical features,the changes of electromyography and the muscle biopsy are valuable for diagnosis of SMA.Respiratory management will prolong survival and improve the quality of life for these patients.

The influence of Chang-Bai Xin kui(长白新圭) on the acid ?-naPhthyl acetate esterase(ANAE) positive lymphocytes was studied by using ANAE as a cytochemical marker.S180 cells ef ascites tumor were inoculated into the mice in experimental and control group. 3 days later, 0.8mg/0.2ml of Chang-Bai Xin Kni was injected peritoneally into the mice in experimental group everyday in 7 days. Eaeh of the two groups has its own self control.The experimental results show that there is no significant differences in total numbar of ANAE positive lymphoctes between the two groups and all self-controls.But after 7 days of injecting the drug, the granular pattern and scattered granular pattern of lymphoctes were increased significantly(P

Objective To analyze the literature distribution and research status of osteoporosis in the elderly published in Chinese Medical Association journals.Methods The literatures of elderly osteoporosis published in Chinese Medical Association journals from 2008 to 2013 were collected.And the publication year,distribution,content,institution and region of the literatures were analyzed.Results From 2008 to 2013,there were 76 articles about osteoporosis in the elderly published in 22 kinds of journals of the Chinese Medical Association.Among these journals,the Chinese Journal of Geriatrics-published elderly osteoporosis articles occupied the most number [28 (36.8％)].There were 21 articles published mostly in 2013 (27.6％),secondly in 2009 (17 articles,22.4％) and 2012 (12 articles,15.8％).The province or city that published more than 10 articles was Beijing (18 articles,23.7％),Zhejiang (13 articles,17.1％),Shanghai (10 articles,13.2％) and Guangdong (10 articles,13.2％).The institution that published most articles was Beijing Jishuitan Hospital (4articles,5.3％).The main contents of these literatures included the influencing factors,diagnosis,treatment strategy,bone metabolism and surgery treatment for elderly osteoporosis.Conclusions Chinese Medical Association journals are the important source to acquire osteoporosis literature for the medical workers.The distribution of journal is relatively concentrated,but the distribution of authors,institution is dispersed.Chinese Journal of Geriatrics publishes the most number of articles.The research of osteoporosis has attracted more attention.

The chemical constituents of Vaccinium bracteatum were studied by means of macroporous resin, ODS column chromatography and preparative HPLC. Eleven compounds were isolated from this plant. By using ESI-MS and NMR, the structures of the eleven compounds were determined as 10-O-trans-p-coumaroyl-6alpha-hydroxyl-dihydromonotropein (1), 10-O-cis-p-coumaroyl -6alpha-hydroxyl-dihydromonotropein (2), vaccinoside (3), 10-O-cis-p-coumaroyl monotropein (4), isolariciresinol-9-O-beta-D-xyloside (5), tectoridin (6), vicenin-3 (7), quercetin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnoside (8), quercetin-3-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (9), quercetin-3-O-beta-D-galactopyranoside (10), and quercetin-3-O-beta-D-glucuronide (11), respectively. Compounds 1 and 2 are new, and compounds 4, 6 and 7 are isolated from the genus Vaccinium for the first time.
