Objective:To explore the effect of inflammatory cell levels on the anticoagulant efficacy in patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with portal vein thrombosis (PVT).Methods:A total of 106 patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with PVT who visited the Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from 2017 to 2022 were prospectively included. The PVT grade and recanalization were evaluated by imaging. Cox regression was used to analyze the predictive factors of anticoagulation efficacy. The time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal cutoff value of inflammatory cells for predicting anticoagulation efficacy. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the 1-year PVT recanalization rate of patients with different levels of inflammatory cells.Results:Univariate analysis showed that Child-Pugh score ( HR=1.41), D-dimer ( HR=0.98), platelet ( HR=0.98), C-reactive protein to lymphocyte ratio ( HR=1.01), monocyte ( HR=0.21), lymphocyte ( HR=0.34), and prothrombin time( HR=1.32) was related to the improvement of PVT (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis confirmed that lymphocytes ( HR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.20-0.85, P=0.016) and prothrombin time ( HR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.01-1.50, P=0.036) were independent predictors of anticoagulant efficacy. Grouped according to the ROC cutoff value, the 1-year recanalization rate of PVT in the high-level lymphocyte group (4.55% vs 32.84%, P=0.012) and the high-level monocyte group (5.56% vs 31.4%, P=0.028) was significantly lower than that in the low-level group. After excluding patients undergoing splenectomy, the recurrence rate in the high-level lymphocyte group was still lower than that in the low-level group (6.25% vs 33.77%, P=0.038). Conclusions:Among patients with liver cirrhosis accompanied by PVT, high levels of lymphocytes and monocytes are the key factors for the poor efficacy of anticoagulation therapy. For PVT patients with poor anticoagulation efficacy, the therapeutic strategy of anti-inflammatory combined with anticoagulation can be considered for exploration in the future.

Objective:To understand the status and influencing factors of social isolation in elderly individuals with chronic diseases.Methods:A multi-stage sampling method was used to select elderly individuals from eight communities or villages in Hefei from July to September 2022. The study employed a general information survey, the Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS-6) , the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) , the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) , and the Personal Social Capital Scale 16 (PSCS-16) . Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the factors influencing social isolation in elderly individuals with chronic diseases.Results:A total of 1 133 elderly individuals were surveyed, among which 538 had chronic diseases. Among the 538 elderly individuals with chronic diseases, 209 were socially isolated, resulting in a social isolation rate of 38.8%. Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that living area, fear of falling, depression, social capital, and social support were significant factors influencing social isolation ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The social isolation rate among elderly individuals with chronic diseases is high. Special attention should be given to elderly individuals living in rural areas, those who fear falling, and those experiencing depression. Additionally, improving social capital and social support can help alleviate social isolation in these elderly individuals.

Objective:To explore the potential categories and influencing factors of attitudes to aging among the elderly in nursing homes.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select elderly from 15 nursing homes in Anhui Province from March to July 2024 for the study. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Attitudes to Ageing Questionnaire, Belongingness Scale for Older Adults in Nursing Facilities, and the Lubben Social Network Scale. Mplus 8.3 was used to conduct a latent profile analysis, and multivariate Logistic regression was employed to explore the factors influencing the latent categories of attitudes toward aging among the elderly in nursing facilities.Results:A total of 370 questionnaires were distributed, and 366 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 98.9%. The attitudes to aging of 366 elderly of nursing facilities were expressed in three potential categories, namely, negative-perceived type (48.6%), moderate-low psychosocial loss type (35.0%), and positive and optimistic-comprehensive type (16.4%). Multicategorical Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of children, location of the nursing home, educational level, self-rating health, belongingness to the nursing home, and social network were the influencing factors of the potential categories of attitudes to aging among the elderly in the nursing home, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:There is group heterogeneity in the attitudes to aging among the elderly in nursing homes. Healthcare professionals should focus on negative-perceived elderly and provide targeted interventions based on the potential categories of factors influencing their attitudes to aging.
