Objective To investigate the manifestations of esophageal motility disorders and evaluate the association between them and dysphagia, laboratory tests and other accessory examinations in patients with Sj(o)gren's syndrome (SS). Methods Esophageal manometry was performed in 31 patients with SS and 18 healthy volunteers by the step pull-through method. Results Decreased upper esophageal sphincter pressure was detected in 19 of the 31 patients (61%) with SS, while 4 of 18 (22%) in controls. The frequency was significantly higher in patients than in healthy controls (P=0.008). Fifteen of 31 patients (48%) showed various patterns of esophageal dysfunction including ineffective esophageal motility in 6 patients, nutcracker esophagus in 3 patients and nonspecific dysmotility in 6 patients. No major differences were found in esophageal parameters (peak amplitude, wave duration and velocity) when comparing primary SS with secondary SS. These esophageal abnormalities were not correlated with clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations and other auxiliary examinations. Conclusion Patients with SS may have esophageal motility disorders, which can presents with different patterns.

This dissertation is to determine the biopotency of hemostat which processed in different places by establishing a bioassay method of Bletillae Rhizoma based on the thrombin time. Contrast test is the main methodology. Specifically, the reference substance of Bletillae Rhizoma is determined by comparing with the control substance of vitamin K1 using thrombin time, which is calibrated the Bletillae Rhizoma. The hemostatic biopotency is calculated by using the method of "parallel line assay method based on quantitative responses" (3.3) from different processed products. It indicates that there is a strong linear correlation between Bletillae Rhizoma and control drugs (Y = 66.332-23.913X, R2 = 0.995 3). The hemostatic biopotency of Bletillae Rhizoma from different processed products ranged between 821.93-1 187.53 U x g(-1) shown in the paper, and all of them can meet the requirements of the test. The methodology has an appropriate instrument precision (RSD 3.8%), intermediate precision (RSD 4.6%), repeatability (RSD 3.2%) and stability (RSD 3.7%). Therefore, it can be turned out that the methodology which established in the dissertation is good at determinating the hemostatic biopotency of Bletillae Rhizoma and it is reliable, simple and repeatable.

Township and Village Health Services Integration Management (TVHSIM) is an essential form of China's two-tiered health service integration plan at the township and village level.Its main purpose,also one of the target goals in China's new healthcare reform,is to gradually integrate rural health services and appropriately allocate rural health resources.This study aims to assess the village doctors' satisfaction with the TVHSIM and provide scientific base to further improve TVHSIM.A cross-sectional study was carried out in which 162 village doctors from Qinghai,Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang in western China were interviewed.Descriptive analysis,independent t-test,one-way ANOVA,Spearman rank correlation and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the difference and relevance between village doctors' personal characteristics and their satisfaction with TVHSIM and six subscales.Village doctors with different years of practice,social insurance status and essential medical knowledge level showed statistically significant differences in their satisfaction levels (all P＜0.05).Age (P＜0.05) and years of practice (P＜0.01) were negatively correlated with Drug and Medical Device Management and Financing Management.Essential medical knowledge level (P＜0.05) was negatively correlated with Operations Management as well.However,social insurance status (P＜0.05) was positively correlated with Human Resources Management and Drug and Medical Device management.Gender,age and years of practice respectively had significant influence on village doctors' satisfaction with TVHSIM (P＜0.01).In conclusion,in order to further promote TVHSIM policy in rural China,a well-rounded social insurance model for village doctors is urgently needed.In addition,the development of TVHSIM is regionally imbalanced.Efficient and effective measures aiming at rationalizing gender and age structure and enhancing essential medical training should be carefully considered.

Objective: To explore the relationship between plasma amyloid-β (Aβ) and cognitive decline during 2 year follow-up in a population-based cohort in Xi′an rural areas. Methods: The study was conducted in Qubao village in Xi′an suburbs cognitively normal residents over 40 years old were recruited from October 2014 to March 2015 and given a face-to-face standardized interview. Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) was employed to evaluate the global cognitive function, and quantification of plasma Aβ was measured by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at baseline. Two years later, MMSE was tested at the end of study. Then logistic regression was performed to analyze the relationship between baseline Aβ and cognitive change during 2 year follow-up. Results: A total of 1 020 participants completed the study, among whom 223 subjects (21.9%) presented MMSE scores decline (defined as MMSE scores decreased ≥2 points). Compared with those without decline, participants in the MMSE decline group were older (P<0.001) and had lower education level (P<0.001), while gender, hypertension, hyperlipemia, diabetes mellitus and APOE genotype were not significantly different between two groups. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the MMSE score decline was slighter in the lower tertile of baseline Aβ₁-40 compared with middle tertile (P=0.012), while MMSE decline were similar between different Aβ₁-42 level groups and Aβ_1-42/Aβ_1-40 ratio groups (P=0.758, P=0.671, respectively). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that MMSE scores in the lower baseline plasma Aβ_1-40 level declined more slowly (OR=0.565, 95%CI 0.379-0.845, P=0.005). However, the MMSE decline were also similar among different baseline plasma Aβ_1-42 levels groups and Aβ_1-42/Aβ_1-40 ratio groups. Conclusion Population with lower level of baseline plasma Aβ_1-40 manifests lower cognitive decline during 2 years, however further investigation on dynamics of plasma Aβ and long term follow up are needed.

Objective To investigate the incidence of multiple disease coexistence in emergency department patients over 65 years old and its impact on the risk of death in hospital, so as to provide theoretical basis for reducing the risk of death in emergency department patients over 65 years old. Methods From January 2019 to January 2020, elderly patients over 65 years old who received emergency treatment in our hospital were selected as subjects to analyze the coexistence of multiple diseases. The information of current disease, blood pressure, blood glucose level and other potential influencing factors, as well as the incidence of hospitalization after emergency treatment were collected, and the factors influencing the risk of death in hospital were analyzed and discussed. Results During the study period, there were 1 195 patients over 65 years old, including 469 patients with multi-disease coexistence (excluding malignant tumors), with an incidence rate of 39.25%. Among the elderly patients in the emergency department, the top four diseases with multiple coexisting diseases are as follows: ischemic stroke (43.92%), acute myocardial infarction (24.95%), hemorrhagic stroke (16.84%), and falls (11.30%). In addition, ^“ischemic stroke + hypertension + diabetes + coronary heart disease^” accounted for the highest proportion (42.22%) in the combination of multi-disease coexisting diseases, followed by "myocardial infarction + ischemic stroke + hypertension + Diabetes + coronary heart disease^” (21.11%), and the third in the composition ratio was ^“fall + ischemic stroke + hypertension + diabetes + coronary heart disease^” (0.66%). Among the 469 patients with multi-disease coexistence, a total of 68 died during hospitalization after emergency department; 469 patients were divided into two groups: the dead and the survivors, and the potential factors affecting the risk of death were analyzed. The multivariate regression analysis showed that male (OR=1.485 , P<0.001), age over 80 years (OR=3.090, P<0.05), more than four types of comorbidities (OR=4.407, P<0.001), BMI level showed weight loss (OR=4.366, P<0.001) and Comorbidities included hypertension (OR=3.564, P<0.001) as a potential risk factor, which would increase the risk of death; while normal blood pressure (OR=0.581, P<0.001) might potentially reduce the risk of death. Conclusion Special attention should be paid to the elderly patients over 65 years old who are male, over 80 years old, thin and with many types of comorbidities (more than four types), especially those with hypertension at the same time, in order to reduce hospitalization after emergency department risk of death during the period.
