Objective To investigate the detection rate of motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR)and explore the possible risk factors.Methods A total of 429 elderly patients from geriatric department of Zhejiang Hospital from October 2014 to September 2018 were recruited in the crosssectional study.General information and functional assessment including fall history,self-reported visual impairment and hearing impairment,depressive symptom,cognitive function and gait speed were collected.Patients with MCR were screened out according to the MCR diagnostic criteria.Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the associated risk factors.Results Seventeen patients(4.0%)met the MCR diagnostic criteria.The proportions of obesity,polypharmacy,cerebral vascular diseases,self-reported hearing impairment,depressive symptoms and slow gait were higher in MCR patients than in non-MCR patients(P<0.05).Compared with non-MCR patients,MCR patients had lower mini mental state examination (MMSE) scores (P < 0.01).After adjusting for associated confounding factors,multiple logistic regression analysis showed obesity (OR =3.74,95 % CI:1.14-12.23,P < 0.05) and depressive symptoms (OR =5.79,95% CI:1.76-19.06,P < 0.01) were risk factors for MCR.Conclusions MCR is not uncommon in elderly patients.Obesity and depressive symptoms are closely associated with an increased risk of MCR.

Objective:To comprehensively understand the operational status and existing problems of the neurosurgery professional training bases for standardized residency training in Guangdong Province.Methods:According to the scoring rules of "Standardized Residency Training Evaluation Indicators—Surgery (Neurosurgery) Professional Base" formulated by the Post-Graduation Medical Education Neurosurgery Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, 28 training bases were supervised and evaluated. The scoring results of the supervision of 28 neurosurgery training bases were collected, and the training bases were divided into two categories according to the traditional teaching history, 6 affiliated hospitals of traditional medical schools and 22 non-traditional affiliated/teaching hospitals. GraphPad 5.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the 14 core indicators, and t-test, variance analysis and Chi-square test were used for analysis. Results:The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the compliance rate of 14 core indicators between traditional teaching hospitals and non-traditional teaching hospitals ( P = 0.003), skill operation and type and number of surgeries ( P = 0.041) and student rotation plan ( P = 0.012). The differences were also statistically significant. Conclusion:This study reveals that the comprehensive management ability of training bases in traditional teaching hospitals is significantly better than that in non-traditional teaching hospitals. Additionally, it's suggested to strengthen the construction of professional bases, enhance the institutionalized management of bases, and thus realize the homogenization training of neurosurgery residents.
