With the continuous intensification of aging， chronic diseases among the elderly have become a widely concerned public health issue. In the terminal stage， they often lose the ability to express their medical care wishes autonomously， leading to a disconnect between medical decision-making and the actual needs of the patients and increasing their physical and psychological suffering. With the rapid aging process in China， the incidence of chronic diseases in the elderly is continuously rising， which has become a serious public health problem. Studies have shown that advance care planning （ACP） has achieved remarkable results in maintaining the dignity of life for terminal chronic disease patients， improving patients’ quality of life， as well as alleviating the physical， mental， and economic burdens on their families. Therefore， the implementation of ACP is crucial for elderly patients with chronic diseases. This paper reviewed the concept of ACP， as well as application effects， challenges and limitations， and corresponding recommendations and countermeasures of ACP in elderly patients with chronic diseases， with a view to providing a solid theoretical and practical basis for the application of ACP in elderly population with chronic diseases in China.

Objective:To explore the association of gait speed and cognitive function of the community-dwelling elderly.Methods:From March to December 2021, a total of 1 172 Xinxiang community-dwelling elderly people were investigated by general information questionnaire, mini-mental state examination(MMSE), patient health questionnaire depression scale and 4.6 m gait test. The elderly were divided into five groups based on the quintile grouping of gait speed values, with Q1 group (≤0.76 m/s), Q2 group (0.77-0.88 m/s), Q3 group (0.89-0.98 m/s), Q4 group (0.99-1.11 m/s) and Q5 group (≥1.12 m/s). SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used for descriptive statistics, and binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the influence of gait speed and depression on cognitive impairment of the elderly.Results:The gait speed of community-dwelling elderly people was (0.92±0.22) m/s. The scores of MMSE in Q1-Q5 groups were (24.72±3.67), (26.63±2.90), (26.58±2.66), (27.01±2.45) and (27.18±2.35), respectively, and the cognitive function was significantly different among the five gait speed groups( F=27.92, P<0.05). The results of binary Logistics regression showed that compared with Q1 group, the OR value (95% CI) of cognitive impairment in Q2-Q5 group were 0.475 (0.253-0.893), 0.426 (0.219-0.828), 0.421(0.212-0.826) and 0.371(0.179-0.766), respectively, which indicated that fast walking speed was a protective factor for cognitive function. Old age ( OR=1.096, 95% CI=1.053-1.140) and depression ( OR=14.441, 95% CI=12.670-19.829) were risk factors of cognitive impairment. Conclusion:The gait speed is associated with cognitive function among community-dwelling elderly people, and faster gait speed is a protective factor for cognitive function.

Objective:To examine the willingness of HIV non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) among MSM and factors related were also assessed.Methods:The respondent-driven sampling method was used to recruit MSM for a face-to-face interview with a structured questionnaire,the sample size was estimated at 600 subjects. Demographic data, sexual behavior, awareness, and willingness regarding nPEP were collected. The factors related to willingness to nPEP were assessed using complex logistic regression.Results:A total of 14 rounds were recruited and 608 MSM subjects were included in the study. The average age was (41.6±11.0) years. 55.4% (95% CI: 49.4%-59.4%) were aware of nPEP, and 4.5% (95% CI: 2.9%-6.2%) have used its. 35.9% (95% CI: 31.1%-40.7%) expressed interest in taking nPEP if needed. Among the reasons for not being willing to take nPEP, 68.9% (244/354) were never heard of nPEP, and 24.6% (87/354) were a fluke mentality. The multivariate logistic analysis results showed that the willingness of nPEP awareness of MSM was related to the group aged 25-39 years old (a OR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.01-3.20), knowing a group of HIV prevention knowledge (a OR=2.43, 95% CI: 1.52-3.90), group of consistent condom use in anal sex in the past half of year (a OR=1.76, 95% CI: 1.11-2.79). Conclusions:The use rate of nPEP among MSM in Beijing was low, and the willingness to use in the future also needs to be improved. The training of social organizations should be strengthened to improve the role of peer education in promoting nPEP.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of self-perceptions of aging between frailty and cognitive function in community-dwelling older adults.Methods:From February to July 2021, a total of 528 elderly people in Xinxiang community were investigated with the frailty phenotype, the brief self-perceptions ageing questionnaire and the Mini-mental state examination(MMSE) scale.According to the MMSE total score and education level, the subjects were divided into cognitive impairment group (illiteracy≤17, primary school≤20, junior high school and above≤24, n=74) and cognitive normal group( n=454). SPSS 25.0 software was used for common method deviation test, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, while AMOS 24.0 software was used to build structural equation model and Bootstrap method was used for intermediary effect test. Results:(1)The prevalence of cognitive impairment among the elderly in the community was 14.1%. The differences between the cognitively normal group and cognitively impaired group were statistically significant in terms of age, education, number of chronic diseases suffered and depression ( χ2=59.21, 6.53, 9.84, 25.47, all P<0.05). The differences were statistically significant in terms of frailty( χ2=75.65, P<0.001) and self-perceptions of aging ( t=77.67, P<0.001). (2)Self-perceptions of aging in the cognitively impaired group (47.39±8.66) was higher than that in the cognitively normal group (38.22±8.24) ( t=77.67, P<0.001) .Frailty score in cognitively impaired group (2.00 (1.00, 3.00)) was higher than that in the cognitively normal group (0.00 (0.00, 1.00))( Z=-8.63, P<0.001) . (3)Frailty was negatively correlated with cognitive function ( r=-0.492, P<0.01), and positively correlated with self-perceptions of aging ( r=0.540, P<0.01). Self-perceptions of aging was negatively correlated with cognitive function ( r=-0.541, P<0.01) . After controlling the influencing factors such as age, education level, chronic diseases and depression, the correlation was still significant (all P<0.01) . (4) Self-perceptions of aging played a partially mediating role in the relationship between frailty and cognitive function, the mediating effect accounted for 58.5% of the total effect. Conclusion:Frailty and self-perceptions of aging have a significant impact on the cognitive function of the elderly in the community, and self-perceptions of aging plays a partial intermediary role between the frailty and cognitive function of the elderly in the community.

The dynamic changes of cognitive function has been paid more and more attention by foreign scholars.Dynamic assessment based on ecological momentary assessment(EMA)can capture subtle changes in cognitive function and provide more comprehensive information for early identification and timely intervention of people with cognitive impairment, which is an effective supplement to traditional cognitive assessment.This paper reviewed the concept of ecological momentary assessment, its advantages in cognitive assessment, its feasibility and effectiveness, and its application status in the evaluation of cognitive function in the elderly, so as to provide a reference for making ecological assessment of the cognitive function for older adults that is in line with China's national conditions.

Objective:To explore the status quo of ICU nurses' core competence in palliative care and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. From January to March 2022, totally 148 ICU nurses from two ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Zhangjiakou were selected by convenience sampling and investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, Core Competence Questionnaire for Hospice Nurses and Chinese version of Death Attitude Profile-Revised. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of ICU nurses' core competence in palliative care. A total of 148 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 143 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 96.62% (143/148) .Results:The total score of palliative care core competence of 143 ICU nurses was (77.28±16.95), and the top 2 dimensions with higher scores on the Chinese version of Death Attitude Profile-Revised were natural acceptance [ (4.40±0.34) points] and escape acceptance [ (3.34±0.49) points]. Pearson correlation analysis showed that palliative care core competency for ICU nurses was negatively correlated with fear of death ( r=-0.214; P<0.05), and positively correlated with both natural acceptance of death and escape from acceptance of death ( r=0.171, 0.221; P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that gender, age, professional title, whether they had participated in palliative care-related training, natural acceptance of death, and escape from acceptance of death were the main influencing factors of the core competence of ICU nurses in palliative care ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:ICU nurses have a high level of core competence in palliative care, and they hold a positive attitude towards death. Nursing managers should pay attention to cultivating ICU nurses' palliative care ability, carry out targeted palliative care training, and vigorously organize death continuing education, guide ICU nurses to establish a positive view of death, and improve their core competence in palliative care.

Objective:To explore the status and influencing factors of participation in cardiac rehabilitation of cardiovascular nurses.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. From January to February 2022, a total of 3 047 cardiovascular nurses in members of China Cardiovascular Health Alliance were selected as research objects by convenience sampling method. General data questionnaire and Cardiovascular Nurses Participated in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Questionnaire (CNPCRQ) were used to investigate cardiovascular nurses. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors of participation in cardiac rehabilitation of cardiovascular nurses. A total of 3 047 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 2 704 valid questionnaires were effectively received, with an effective recovery rate of 88.74%.Results:The total score of CNPCRQ of cardiovascular nurses was (93.23±31.58), which was at a moderate level. Multiple linear regression analysis results showed that age, education, professional title, hospital location, hospital level, position type and hospital type were the influencing factors of participation in cardiac rehabilitation of cardiovascular nurses.Conclusions:The status of participation in cardiac rehabilitation of cardiovascular nurses in China needs to be improved. Role and job content of cardiovascular nurses should be further clarified, and cardiac rehabilitation knowledge and skills training should be strengthened in the future, so as to promote the profession development of cardiac rehabilitation and improve patients' health outcomes.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning and the differences in the severity of poisoning.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to December 2020. The general information, exposure time, poisoning dose, poisoning cause, poisoning route, clinical manifestations, laboratory examination results during hospitalization, treatment measures, hospital stays and prognosis of the patients were collected. The patients were graded according to the poisoning severity scoring standard of Chinese Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Poisoning in 2016. The highest severity score during hospitalization was used as the final grade. According to the final grade, asymptomatic and mild patients were included in the mild group, and moderate, severe and death patients were included in the severe group. The independent sample T test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for measurement data, and χ2 test or Fisher's exact test was used for counting data. The differences of general data and clinical data between the two groups were compared. Results:According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 83 patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning were selected as the study subjects. All patients survived, mainly mild poisoning (56.6%), with a male to female ratio of 33∶50, and an average age of 39 years. The number of poisoning cases increased yearly (the highest in 2019), and most cases occurred in spring and summer. The main cause of poisoning was suicide (71.1%), direct oral administration (83.1%) was the primary route of poisoning, and the dominating clinical manifestations were digestive symptoms (71.1%). Laboratory tests showed increased white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil percentage (NEUT %) and D-dimer, and decreased hemoglobin and potassium. Compared with the mild group, patients in the severe group were older [(51±17) years vs. (35±19) years], had a higher proportion of suicide and direct oral administration, a longer hospital stay [8.0 (4.8, 12.0) d vs. 3.0 (2.0, 5.5) d], a higher dose of poisoning [200.0 (50.0, 200.0) mL vs. 30.0 (11.3, 57.5) mL], and higher NEUT % within 24 h of admission [(83.4±10.4) vs. (73.2±12.8)]. The increase of WBC, NEUT %, aspartate aminotransferase, prothrombin time, D-dimer and the decrease of serum potassium were more common in the severe group than the mild group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The number of patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning is increasing yearly. Generally, the condition is mild and the prognosis is satisfying. The severity is more serious in the middle-aged and elderly patients andthose with direct oral administration, high toxic dose, and high NEUT % within 24 h of admission. Severe poisoning is more likely to cause changes in laboratory indicators.

Objective:To investigate the differences in virological and immunological indicators of HIV-1 infected individuals with different degrees of immunosuppression, analyze the correlation between the sample/cutoff ratio (S/CO), viral load (VL), Western blot (WB) band type and immune status of HIV-1 infected individuals.Methods:A total of 639 HIV-1 antibodies positive and treatment-naive samples from Henan, Beijing and Yunnan during the period of 2017-2019 were divided into three groups: no immunosuppression (CD4≥500 cells/μl), mild immunosuppressive (350cells/μl≤CD4<500cells/μl), moderate immunosuppression (200 cells/μl≤CD4<350 cells/μl), severe immunosuppression (CD4<200 cells/μl). Chi-square test was used to compare S/CO, WB band type among different immunosuppression groups, analyze the relationship between various indicators and immune status.Results:In each immunosuppressive group, S/CO>20 had the highest occurrence rate (>37%), and showed a decreasing trend with the enhancement of immunity ( P<0.05), the occurrence rate of 119%), the occurrence rate of 078%), while the occurrence rates of p55 (<40%) and p39 (<3%) were the lowest, the differences of the occurrence rates of gp41 and p51 among different immunosuppression groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The area under the curve determined by S/CO value combined with viral load for no, mild, moderate and severe immunosuppression groups were respectively 0.651 (95% CI: 0.600-0.702; P<0.05), 0.587 (95% CI: 0.540-0.635; P<0.05), 0.605 (95% CI: 0.560~0.650; P<0.05), 0.647 (95% CI: 0.586-0.708; P<0.05). Conclusions:The S/CO value viral load was the best for the determination of non-immunosuppressive status; The absence of gp41 and p51, S/CO>20 suggest that the patient may be in non or severe immunosuppressed state, respectively.
