Objective:To develop a framework for a national system of elderly health standards in response to population aging in China and to meet the need for health service standards for elderly care, thus providing a roadmap for the development of elderly health standards.Methods:Preliminary indicators for a framework of a Chinese elderly health standards system were established by literature review and expert consultations.Using the Delphi method, we invited 23 experts to form a consultation panel.After two rounds of expert consultations, the preliminary framework was updated and the weight of each indicator was calculated by using the analytic hierarchy process.Results:A framework of the Chinese elderly health standards system was established after two rounds of expert consultations.The expert authority coefficient was 0.847.The framework proposed four primary indicators, including basic health standards, medical service standards, public health standards and social support standards, for the elderly, with a weight of 0.204, 0.346, 0.260 and 0.189 for each indicator.There were 22 secondary indicators, including standardized terminologies, medical services, health education, geriatrics personnel training, etc., for elderly care.Conclusions:Our research has generated a preliminary framework of an elderly health standards system that incorporates China's specific issues, takes into consideration of the needs of various parties and covers many relevant aspects.It will provide the basis for decision-making in the elderly health standardization process in China and safeguard the implementation of the Healthy China strategy.

A HPLC-MS/MS multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) quantitative analysis was made to establish a determination method for drug concentrations of costunolide (Co) and dehydrocostuslactone (De) in blood samples in the positive ion mode, with diazepam as the internal standard substance, in order to study the pharmacokinetic process of sesquiterpene lactones costunolide and dehydrocostuslactone after the oral administration of Weichang'an pills, and provide an theoretical basis for further studies on the substance basis for the anti-diarrhea effect of Weichang'an pills. In the blood samples, Co and De showed a good linearity within concentration ranges 0.700 0-769.7, 2.510-956.0 μg x L(-1), respectively. The results of precision, stability and recovery experiences proved the stability and reliability of the plasma concentration determination method. After the oral administration, the concentrations of Co and De in plasma increased with the increase in dose, with T(max) between 10.65-12.98 h, indicating a long time to reach peak plasma concentrations; C(max) of costunolide and dehydrocostuslactone ranged between 3.750-5.450,15.34-44.52 μg x L(-1), respectively. The in vivo adsorption of Co and De conformed to the one-compartment model, with a longer time to attain the peak plasma concentrations. These results provided an experimental basis for revealing the active substance basis and clinical medication of Weichang'an pills.

Objective To evaluate the expression of RAR-? gene in cervical carcinoma cell lines SiHa,HeLa,C33A and Caski and to analyze the relation between their gene expression and the promoter methylation of RAR-? DNA.Methods The expression of mRNA and protein of RAR-? gene in the four cell lines were analyzed by RT-PCR,western blot and immunofluoreseence,respectively.Methylation specific PCR(MSP)was used to check whether there was methylation in the promoter of RAR-? gene.The demethylating agent 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine(5-Aza-cdR)was used to treat methylated cell lines and the change of RAR-? gene methylation and RAR-? gene expression defects were observed.The cell proliferation was assayed with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method.Results The mRNA and protein expression levels of RAR-? in cell lines SiHa,HeLa,Caski and C33A were 0.25 ?0.08,0,0.60?0.19,3.12?0.92 and 0.23?0.07,0,0.14?0.05,0.68?0.21,respectively.The mRNA and protein expression of RAR-? in SiHa,HeLa and Caski cell lines were decreased or silenced, whereas its expression increased in C33A cell line.MSP method showed that there were RAR-? gene methylation in SiHa,HeLa and Caski cell lines,while there was no RAR-? gene methylation in C33A cell line.After treated with 5-Aza-cdR,the mRNA and protein expression levels of RAR-? in SiHa,HeLa, Caski and C33A cell lines were 1.82?0.59,2.13?0.62,1.67?0.43,2.95?0.89 and 0.69?0.21, 0.83?0.29,0.56?0.16,0.64?0.20 respectively.The mRNA and protein levels of RAR-? had a significant difference between before and after interference with 5-Aza-cdR in SiHa,Helm,and Caski cell lines(P0.05).The 5-Aza-cdR treatment could suppress cell proliferation.Conclusions The RAR-? gene expression defects play an important role in the carcinogenesis of cervical cancer.Aberrant methylation in promotor region of RAR-? gene may be an important mechanism for the loss of expression of RAR-? gene.

0.05). Conclusion There is abnormal thyroid function in patients with anorexia nervosa. Most of the patients with anorexia nervosa are individuals with low T3 syndrome, rather than hypothyroid. Since this syndrome is reversible, thyroxine is not necessary during the treatment.

OBJECTIVETo explore the minimally invasive treatment for fresh acromioclavicular dislocation and the distal clavicle fracture.

METHODSThirty skeletons of human shoulder were measured and compared, and the normal data on healthy people were measured with the help of ultrasound-guided. So the invasion point was located at the cross between subclavian axis and the line from coracoid tip to apophysis behind cone ligament node. From January 2001 to January 2010, 127 patients with fresh acromioclavicular dislocation and distal clavicle fracture were treated with minimally invasive internal fixation after locating the invasive point at the body surface. Among the patients, 97 patients were male and 30 patients were female, ranging in age from 19 to 56 years, with an average of 43 years. According to Rockwood classification, among 93 patients with fresh acromioclavicular dislocation, 67 patients were type III, 11 patients were type IV and 15 patients were type V. All the 34 patients with distal clavicle fractures were associated with coracoclavicular ligament broken. The duration from injury to operation ranged from 1 to 8 days. The therapeutic effects were evaluated by using the of shoulder scoring system, University of California (UCLA).

RESULTSAfter the minimally invasive treatment, all the patients had completely reduction at early time. One hundred and thirteen patients were followed up,and the duration ranged from 13 to 15 months,averaged 14 months. Nine patients had screw loose slightly within 30 days, but the reductions and functions were acceptable. Seven patients had complications of frozen shoulder and recovered in 6 months. The average UCLA shoulder score was (32.0 +/- 4.7), and 87 patients got an excellent result, 20 good and 6 fair.

CONCLUSIONThis minimally invasive treatment has advantages such as little trauma and low cost, which is worthy of clinical applications.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for patellar clunk syndrome after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) without patellar surface replacement.Methods:Retrospectively analyzed were a total of 222 patients who had undergone TKA without patellar surface replacement at Department of Joint Surgery, The Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from June 2020 to June 2021. There were 43 males and 179 females, and 38 cases of rheumatoid arthritis and 184 cases of arthritis. They were divided into a patellar clunk syndrome group ( n = 56) and a non-patellar clunk syndrome group ( n = 166) according to the occurrence of patellar clunk after TKA. The incidence of early patellar clunk syndrome after TKA was 25.2% (56/222). The patient gender, arthritis type, prosthesis type, postoperative range of knee motion, postoperative patellar thickness, Insall-Salvati index, postoperative joint line height, lower extremity muscle strength, and the distance from the tibial plateau to the patellar tendon were recorded. The risk factors for patellar clunk syndrome were determined by univariate analysis and logistic analysis. Results:The univariate analysis showed significant differences between the 2 groups in prosthesis type, postoperative joint line height, postoperative lower extremity muscle strength, and the distance from the tibial plateau to the patellar tendon ( P < 0.05). The logistic analysis showed that the posterior cruciate substituting (PS) prosthesis was an independent risk factor compared with the cruciate-retaining (CR) prosthesis ( OR = 2.791, 95% CI: 1.411 to 5.521, P = 0.003), and the increased lower extremity muscle strength was an independent protective factor ( OR = 0.295, 95% CI: 0.148 to 0.587, P = 0.001). Conclusions:The incidence of patellar clunk syndrome is relatively high. The PS prosthesis may be an independent risk factor relative to the CR prosthesis. As the increased lower extremity muscle strength may be an independent protective factor, the recovery and strengthening of the muscle strength after TKA require more attention.

Aim To investigate the radio-protective effect of schisandrol B(Sol B)underlying mechanism in alleviating gastrointestinal(GI)toxicity and intesti-nal damage induced by irradiation(IR)exposure dur-ing radiotherapy against abdominal and pelvic malig-nancies or the nuclear accident.Methods The mouse intestinal injury model was established through 4Gy ir-radiation.Immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence staining,ELISA were used to measure DNA damage,apoptosis,inflammatory reaction,and oxidative stress in the intestine of mice after irradiation.The protective effect of Sol B on intestines injury was evaluated,and the mechanism of the related oxidative stress and in-flammatory response pathway was discussed.Results Sol B significantly improved the survival rates of intes-tinal cells upon IR exposure.The accumulation of DNA damage,apoptosis rate,and inflammatory factors in intestinal tissues were significantly inhibited.The decreased levels of ZO-1 and occludin induced IR inju-ry were rescued by Sol B,indicating the improvement of intestinal structure.The radio-protective activities of Sol B were involved in the stimulation of Nrf2 and the subsequent ferroptosis surveillance.Conclusion Sol B demonstrates a promising agent to ease intestinal in-jury during radiotherapy or nuclear accidents,in which GPX4 related ferroptosis surveillance mediated by Nrf2 is involved in the radio-protective effect of Sol B.
