Objective:
To explore the results of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) among convalescent elderly population, so as to provide the basis for strengthening the health management service level for convalescent elderly population.
Methods:
A total of 200 elderly people who convalesced at Hangzhou Wuyunshan Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the research subjects. The basic information, physical condition, psychological status, functional status, and social environment of the elderly were investigated using the CGA protocol. The basic characteristics of the elderly, physical conditions such as medication adherence, pain, malnutrition and frailty, psychological conditions such as cognitive function, anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms, functional conditions such as fall risk and social support level and social environment assessment results were analyzed.
Results:
Among the 200 elderly individuals, 58.00% were male, 44.50% were aged 70 to <80 years, 58.00% had an education level of high school or above, 55.00% were unmarried, 61.50% were childless, and 60.50% had basic medical insurance for employees. In terms of physical condition, 59.00% had comorbid chronic diseases, 40.50% used multiple medications, and the incidences of poor medication adherence, pain, malnutrition, and frailty were 22.50%, 10.00%, 54.00%, and 36.00%, respectively. Regarding psychological status, the incidences of impaired cognitive function, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms were 57.00%, 89.50%, and 91.00%, respectively. In terms of functional status and social environment, 90.00% had a risk of falling, and 31.00% had a high level of social support. Univariable analysis showed that elderly individuals aged ≥80 years and those with an education level of primary school or below had higher incidences of poor medication adherence during convalescence; elderly individuals with poor medication adherence had a higher incidence of pain; and elderly individuals with impaired cognitive function, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms had higher incidences of malnutrition (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
The physical condition and psychological status of convalescent elderly individuals are relatively poor, with a high risk of falling and insufficient levels of social support. Poor medication adherence is associated with advanced age and lower education levels, while malnutrition is associated with impaired cognitive function, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms. Comprehensive health management for convalescent elderly population should be strengthened, and personalized health management services should be provided to improve their quality of life and sense of well-being.

Tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs)are the predominant cell group in the tumor microenvironment(TME)and are the most important regulatory cells of immune system suppression and tumor cell proliferation in TIME.Src homology-2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2(SHP-2)is a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase that plays an important role in the transmission of signals from the cell surface to the nucleus.SHP-2 is a key intracellular regulatory factor mediating cell proliferation and differentiation and is involved in a variety of growth factor and cytokine signaling pathways linking the cell surface to the nucleus.Recent studies have shown that SHP-2 is a key enzyme in determining the function of TAMs,but because of its variable function,it plays different or even opposite roles in different solid TMEs.This paper reviews the function of SHP-2 in TAMs and related solid tumors to provide a comprehensive reference for tumor immunity and targeted therapy research.

Background Fatigue driving is an important cause of road traffic accidents in modern society, and the fatigue condition of heavy-duty commercial truck drivers has attracted widespread attention. Research on the fatigue status and influencing factors of heavy-duty commercial truck drivers in China is relatively rare at present. Objective To analyze the main characteristics of fatigue among heavy-duty commercial truck drivers and the impacts of factors such as working hours, insomnia, and occupational burnout on their fatigue status. Methods Using cluster sampling method, a cross-sectional study was conducted from July to August 2023, enrolling heavy-duty commercial truck drivers in long-distance freight logistics markets (stations) located in three administrative regions of W City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect demographic and occupational characteristics of heavy-duty commercial truck drivers, and the Chinese versions of Fatigue Scale-14 (FS-14), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), and Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS) were used to evaluate their fatigue, insomnia, and occupational burnout status, respectively. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Walls H test were used to compare intergroup differences, and Spearman correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between variables. Hierarchical regression models were used to study the impacts of selected variables on fatigue status. Results This study obtained 311 valid questionnaires, with a valid recovery rate of 88.86% (311/350). The physical fatigue, mental fatigue, and total fatigue scores of the survey subjects in M (P25, P75) were 3.00 (2.00, 4.00), 2.00 (1.00, 3.00), and 5.00 (4.00, 6.00), respectively. The comparison results showed that, except for smoking, there were statistically significant differences in total fatigue scores between different groups of age, marital status, number of children, educational level, service length of freight transportation, average daily working time, and average monthly income (P<0.05). The difference in total fatigue score among the groups without sleep disorders, with suspected insomnia, and with insomnia was statistically significant (P<0.001). The difference in total fatigue score among the groups without occupational burnout, with moderate occupational burnout, and with severe occupational burnout was also statistically significant (P<0.001). Positive correlations were found between insomnia score and scores of physical fatigue (rs=0.507), mental fatigue (rs=0.547), and total fatigue (rs=0.618) (P<0.001). Hierarchical regression models revealed that having more children, extended daily working hours, insomnia, and increased scores of decreased personal accomplishment were negative factors affecting the fatigue status of heavy-duty commercial truck drivers (P<0.05), and the final regression equation was: total fatigue score=7.579+0.581×number of children+0.916×average daily working time+0.434×score of AIS+0.754×score of reduced personal accomplishment. Conclusion The fatigue status of heavy-duty commercial truck drivers is not optimistic. An increase in the number of children, extended daily working hours, severe insomnia symptoms, and increased scores of decreased personal accomplishment associate with their worse fatigue status.

Objective:To investigate the sensitivity of tumor organoids derived from samples of colorectal cancer to lobaplatin and oxaliplatin hyperthermic perfusion in vitro and to assist clinical development of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Method:Tumor samples and relevant clinical data were collected from patients with pathologically confirmed colorectal cancer in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2021 to December 2022. Organoids were cultured and tumor tissue were passaged. In vitro hyperthermic perfusion experiments were performed on organoids with good viability. Firstly, 10 organoids were treated with oxaliplatin and lobaplatin at the following six concentrations: 1 000, 250, 62.5, 15.6, 3.9, and 0.98 μmol/L. The organoids were exposed to oxaliplatin at 42℃ for 30 minutes and to lobaplatin at 42℃ for 60 minutes. Dose-response curves of responses to in vitro hyperthermic perfusion with these two drugs were constructed and evaluated. Clinical doses of oxaliplatin and lobaplatin were further tested on 30 organoids. This testing revealed oxaliplatin was effective at 579 μmol/L at a hyperthermic perfusion temperature of 42℃ for 30 min and lobaplatin was effective at 240 μmol/L at a hyperthermic perfusion temperature of 42℃ for 60 minutes. Result:Thirty-two tumor organoids were cultured from samples of colorectal cancer. The median concentration required for oxaliplatin to eliminate 50% of tumor cells (IC50) was 577.45 μmol/L (IQR: 1846.09 μmol/L). The median IC50 for lobaplatin was 85.04 μmol/L (IQR: 305.01 μmol/L).The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant ( Z=1.784, P=0.084). In seven of 10 organoids, lobaplatin showed a greater IC50 after in vitro hyperthermic perfusion than did oxaliplatin. Testing of 30 organoids with clinical doses of oxaliplatin and lobaplatin revealed that oxaliplatin achieved an average inhibition rate of 39.6% (95%CI: 32.1%?47.0%), whereas the average rate of inhibition for lobaplatin was 89.7% (95%CI: 87.0%?92.3%): this difference is statistically significant ( t=?15.282, P<0.001). Conclusion:The rate of inhibition achieved by hyperthermic perfusion of lobaplatin in vitro is better than that achieved by hyperthermic perfusion with oxaliplatin. Lobaplatin is more effective than oxaliplatin when administered by hyperthermic intraperitoneal perfusion and therefore has the potential to replace oxaliplatin in this setting.
