Objective:
To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among middle-aged and elderly people in Xihu District, Hangzhou City, so as to provide insights into prevention and intervention of MCI among middle-aged and elderly people.
Methods:
People aged 55 years and above were sampled from Xihu District using the multi-stage random sampling method, and demographic information, lifestyle behaviors, and chronic disease were collected through questionnaire surveys. The prevalence of MCI was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and influencing factors for MCI were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 440 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.78%. There were 190 males (43.18%) and 250 females (56.82%). There were 179 respondents at ages of 55 to <65 years, accounting for 40.68%. The prevalence of MCI was 18.64%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of MCI was higher among the middle-aged and elderly people who were aged 65 to 95 years (55 to <65 years as the reference, 65 to <75 years, OR=4.156, 95%CI: 1.284-13.201; 75 to 95 years, OR=5.013, 95%CI: 1.752-14.126), were smokers (OR=4.768, 95%CI: 1.560-14.580), had higher daily cooking oil intake (OR=2.128, 95%CI: 1.062-4.199), had diabetes (OR=4.137, 95%CI: 1.144-4.958) and had hypertension (OR=8.093, 95%CI: 1.697-38.593); while the risk of MCI was lower among the middle-aged and elderly people who were engaged in mental labor (OR=0.074, 95%CI: 0.007-0.756) and had a monthly household income per capita of 4 000 yuan and above (4 000 to <8 000 yuan, OR=0.071, 95%CI: 0.014-0.358; 8 000 yuan and above, OR=0.009, 95%CI: 0.001-0.136).

For Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA), surgical resection is the only effective way to cure this disease. However, it has high postoperative mortality and high recurrence rate. Domestic and foreign scholars have constructed statistics-based evaluation methods to predict patients′ postoperative survival and complications, such as nomogram, scoring system and other prognostic models. Based on these methods, clinicians can better select patients who can benefit from surgery and choose the optimal? treatment for more severe patients. Through the adoption of other treatments or some ways to ameliorate some preoperative condition, to improve the patient′s mortality and survival. This article reviews the prognostic risk factors and prognostic models of pCCA in order to provide a reference for clinicians to predict the prognosis about the surgery.

Objective:To explore the feasibility for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in limbs and trunk with perforator pedicled kite flap, and to summarise its clinical efficacy.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 14 patients with soft tissue defects and admitted to the Department of Hand Microsurgery of Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2016 to September 2023. Among the 14 patients (6 males and 8 females), 7 had defects in calf, 2 in sacrococcygeal area, 2 in the back and 3 in forearm. All of the defects were reconstructed with the perforator pedicled kite flaps, of which 6 flaps had the pedicles of single perforator, 3 of 2 perforators, 4 of 3 perforators and 1 of 5 perforators. Single V-Y advancement flaps were used for defect reconstruction in 8 patients, and double V-Y advancement flaps were used in 6 patients. The size of the defects ranged from 2.2 cm×1.8 cm to 8.0 cm×16.0 cm, and the size of the flaps ranged from 3.0 cm×5.5 cm to 9.0 cm×23.0 cm. All donor sites were closed directly. Postoperative follow-up was conducted at outpatient clinic, by telephone reviews and WeChat after surgery, to observe the flap survival and postoperative complications.Results:All flaps survived completely. All the flaps and donor sites healed primarily. The postoperative follow-up lasted for 3 to 36 (mean, 14.5) months. Thirteen flaps presented with soft texture, good appearance, with similar texture to the surrounding skin and without obvious swelling. The patients were satisfied with the aesthetic outcomes. One patient had a local ulcer with exudation at the recipient site and the ulcer healed after removal of the steel plate and thoroughly debridement.Conclusion:With a perforator pedicled kite flap, vascular anastomosis or sacrifice of a second donor site can be avoided. A perforator pedicled kite flap can be applied to many recipient sites, with a simple surgical procedure and a good postoperative appearance. It is an ideal flap for reconstruction of small to medium-sized soft tissue defects in trunk and limbs. More studies are required to evaluate the feasibility of the flap to be applied in local hospitals.

ObjectiveTo present the exploration and application of a prospective follow-up research method for acute infectious disease surveillance based on natural community populations, using COVID-19 infection as an example, and to provide a reference for improving the infectious disease surveillance and early warning system. MethodsA multi-stage probability proportional sampling method was employed to sample residents from all communities of 16 administrative districts in Shanghai, with households as the units. A cohort for acute infectious diseases based on natural community populations was established. The baseline survey was conducted for all cohort subjects, and COVID-19 antigen test kits were distributed. From December 21, 2022 to September 30, 2023, prospective follow-up monitoring of COVID-19 antigen and nucleic acid was carried out on the study subjects on a weekly basis. The baseline characteristics and follow-up information of the cohort subjects were described. ResultsThe cohort for acute infectious diseases included a total of 12 881 subjects, comprising 6 098 males (47.3%) and 6 783 females (52.7%). The baseline survey revealed that 35.2% (4 540/12 881) of the subjects had a history of COVID-19 infection. During the follow-up period from December 21, 2022 to September 30, 2023, the average incidence density in the cohort was 0.61/person-year, with a higher incidence density in females (0.63/person-year) compared to males (0.59/person-year). Individuals aged 60 and above (0.64/person-year) and those with underlying health conditions (0.67/person-year) had a higher incidence density. Healthcare workers showed a notably higher incidence density (0.84/person-year) than that in other occupational groups. As of September 30, 2023, a total of 340 subjects in the cohort experienced secondary infections, with a median interval of 170 days between the first and second infections. ConclusionThis study applies cohort study method to acute infectious disease surveillance, providing crucial data support for estimating infection rates and forecasting alerts for acute infectious diseases in the community. This method can be promoted and applied as a new approach for acute infectious disease surveillance.
