ObjectiveTo investigate the association between variant degree of sarcopenia and all-cause mortality in Chinese elderly residents, and to provide insights into the prevention and control of sarcopenia in the elderly population. MethodsData from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) from 2011 and 2020 were analyzed, and a total of 2 792 subjects aged 65 years or older were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were performed to explore the potential factors influencing all-cause mortality among the elderly in China, and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to visualize the survival of elderly people with variant degree of sarcopenia. Finally, a multiple-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to control the confounding factors and explore the association between sarcopenia and all-cause mortality. ResultsBefore adjusting potential covariates, univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models showed that 10-year all-cause mortality was significantly associated with variant degree of sarcopenia, namely possible sarcopenia (HR=1.40, 95%CI: 1.1‒1.68, P<0.001), mild-to-moderate sarcopenia (HR=1.49, 95%CI:1.20‒1.86, P<0.001), and severe sarcopenia (HR=1.68, 95%CI: 1.29‒2.19, P<0.001); after adjusting all confounders, 10-year all-cause mortality remained to be significantly associated with variant degree of sarcopenia, including probable sarcopenia (HR=1.38, 95%CI: 1.15‒1.66, P<0.001), mild-to-moderate sarcopenia (HR=1.48, 95%CI: 1.19‒1.84, P<0.001) and severe sarcopenia (HR=1.71, 95%CI: 1.31‒2.23, P<0.001). ConclusionIn Chinese elderly residents, sarcopenia is positively associated with an increased risk of 10-year all-cause mortality, and the progression of sarcopenia is positively associated with an increased risk of death.

Objective To observe the role of dried tangerine peel in Yigong Powder improves iron metabolism and promotes red blood cell generation in anemia of chronic disease (ACD).Methods With a two-by-two factorial design,the Yigong Powder was divided into dried tangerine peel and Chenpi absent Decoction. According to the random number table method,32 zymosan-induced generalized inflammation (ZIGI) mice were randomly divided into the model group,the dried tangerine peel group,the Chenpi absent Decoction group,and the Yigong Powder group. The dried tangerine peel group,Chenpi absent Decoction group and the Yigong Powder group were given dried tangerine peel(3.083 g/kg),Chenpi absent Decoction(12.33g/kg),and Yigong Powder(15.413g/kg)by gavage to the corresponding group of mice. The model group was given an equal amount of physiological saline by gavage,and treated continuously for 7 days. After the completion of administration,the body weight of each group of mice was recorded. The hemoglobin content of each group of mice was detected using a fully automatic cell counter,the serum iron content was detected using colorimetry,the serum ferritin content was detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and the spleen index was calculated. The liver tissue inflammatory factors interleukin-1β (IL-1β),interleukin-6 (IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interferon-γ (IFN-γ),interleukin-4 (IL-4),and interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels were detected using Luminex method. The mRNA expressions of liver tissue hepcidin gene (HAMP) and membrane iron transporter ( Fpn) were detected using real-time fluorescence PCR method. Results Dried tangerine peel and Chenpi absent Decoction both showed interactive effects in regulating hemoglobin,serum iron,serum ferritin content,improving spleen index,and regulating the mRNA expressions of HAMP,Fpn,as well as IL-1β and IFN-γ (P<0.05). Compared with the model group,dried tangerine peel significantly increased hemoglobin,serum iron content,and Fpn mRNA expression in ZIGI model mice,while decreasing ferritin content,spleen index,HAMP mRNA expression,and the levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,and IFN-γ (P<0.05). Chenpi absent Decoction significantly increased serum iron content and Fpn mRNA expression in ZIGI model mice,while reducing spleen index,ferritin content,HAMP mRNA expression,and the levels of IL-1β and IFN-γ、IL-4 (P<0.05). Conclusion The effects of dried tangerine peel on inflammatory factors (IL-6 and TNF-α) and Fpn may play a key role in the improvement effects of Yigong Powder on ACD and iron metabolism.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of osteoporosis in elderly women after radical mastectomy and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide guidance for the prevention of this disease.Methods:Clinical data of 103 elderly women treated in our hospital after radical mastectomy from Jan. 2020 to Jan. 2021 were collected and separated into osteoporosis group ( n=58) and non-osteoporosis group ( n=45) according to whether osteoporosis occurred. The factors affecting the occurrence of osteoporosis and the relationship between endocrine hormones and bone metabolism were analyzed, and prevention strategies were formulated. Results:(1) The proportion of patients with osteoporosis >70 years old, menopausal years ≥5 years, body mass index <25kg/m 2, endocrine therapy in osteoporosis group was higher than that in non-osteoporosis group ( χ2 =8.68, 18.54, 9.72, 16.98, 36.51, P=0.003, <0.001, 0.002, <0.001, <0.001) ; (2) The level of estradiol in the osteoporosis group was lower than the other group ( t value =20.53, P<0.05), and the level of follicle-stimulating hormone was higher ( t value=19.14, P<0.05) ; (3) Old age, endocrine therapy, low bone mineral density and low estradiol level were the risk factors for osteoporosis after radical mastectomy ( P<0.05) ; (4) Pearson correlation analysis showed that bone mineral density in patients with osteoporosis after radical mastectomy was positively correlated with estradiol and testosterone levels ( r=0.352, 0.316, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with follicle-stimulating hormone levels ( r=-0.334, P<0.05) . Conclusions:Osteoporosis in elderly women with radical mastectomy is affected by age, endocrine therapy, bone mineral density and estradiol, and there is a correlation between hormone levels and bone mineral density. Clinical prevention and treatment measures should be implemented in the direction of monitoring bone mineral density, physical exercise, safe drug use, and prevention of falling.

Objective:To investigate the current status of therapeutic relationships, organizational support, and compassion fatigue among psychiatric nurses, and to analyze the mechanism of action between these variables.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From August to September 2023, totally 310 psychiatric nurses were selected from three ClassⅢ Grade A psychiatric hospitals in Qingdao, Jinan, and Linyi by convenience sampling. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Therapeutic Relationship Assessment Scale-Nurse (TRAS-N), the Perceived Organizational Support Scale (POSS), and the Chinese version of Compassion Fatigue short Scale (CCFS). SPSS 22.0 and the Process macro plugin were used for data analysis.Results:A total of 310 questionnaires were distributed, with 282 valid responses, yielding a response rate of 90.97%. The total score for TRAS-N among the 282 psychiatric nurses was (95.59±18.75), the total score for CCFS was 45.50 (24.75, 68.25), and the total score for POSS was (43.66±13.34). Therapeutic relationships were positively correlated with organizational support and negatively correlated with compassion fatigue, while organizational support was negatively correlated with compassion fatigue (all P< 0.01). Organizational support had a direct positive effect on therapeutic relationships (β=0.291, P<0.01) and also had an indirect effect through the mediating effect of compassion fatigue (β=0.212, P<0.01), with the mediation effect accounting for 42.15% of the total effect. Conclusions:Compassion fatigue partially mediates the relationship between organizational support and therapeutic relationships in psychiatric nurses. Nursing managers should enhance organizational support for psychiatric nurses to reduce their levels of compassion fatigue, thereby improving therapeutic relationships.

Objective To evaluate the effect of manual massage on complications after endoscopic foam sclerotherapy injection for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids.Methods Consecutive 113 patients with grade Ⅰinternal hemorrhoids were prospectively enrolled and completed endoscopic foam sclerotherapy.The patients were randomly divided into a massage group(n=65)and a control group(n=68).Massage group performed manual perianal massage,Visual analogue scale(VAS)was used to evaluate perianal pain.The postoperative bleeding,short-term and long-term efficacy were also compared.Results The median VAS of 24 h postoperation was 1.0(0.0,3.0)in massage group,which was significantly lower than 2.0(1.0,4.0)in control group,the difference was statistically significant(P=0.014).The no bleeding rate of one week postoperation was 84.6％in massage group,which was significantly higher than 64.7％in control group,the difference was statistically significant(P=0.009).After 12 weeks,6 months and 12 months of follow-up,there were no significant differences in cure rate and remission rate between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Manual massage after endoscopic sclerosing agent injection is beneficial to relieve postoperative pain of grade Ⅰ internal hemorrhoids and reduce bleeding.

On the basis of the clinical characteristics of atherosclerosis(AS)in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and Western medicine,this paper analyzes common animal models of AS.The coincidence of clinical characteristics of the models was scored in the hope of providing new ideas and a reference for those studying AS.This paper reviews the varieties,modeling method,modeling principles,and characteristics of common animal models of AS.Moreover,similarities among common animal models,in terms of their clinical diagnostic criteria and symptom characteristics,were assessed.High-fat feeding type,mechanical injury combined with high-fat feeding type,genetic engineering combined with high-fat feeding type,chemical induction combined with high-fat feeding type,and combined Chinese clinical syndrome and Western disease AS models are widely established.Comparative analysis showed that balloon injury combined with high fat feeding type,ApoE receptor-knockout mouse combined with high-fat diet type,and phlegm and blood stasis type models of disease and symptom combinations showed a comparatively high level of clinical agreement between Chinese and Western medicine.Presently,most animal models of AS have a high degree of relevance to Western medicine,and the evaluation criteria used for the models are predominately from a Western medicine perspective.Models that combine disease and syndrome are lacking,hindering the development of wholism concepts and treatment through the differentiation of syndromes used in TCM.Therefore,establishing an animal model with a high degree of accuracy and coincidence between TCM and Western perspectives that combines the disease and its TCM symptoms is a top priority for studying the prevention and treatment of AS.

Objective To analyze the development trajectory and predictors of endocrine therapy associated arthralgia in breast cancer patients.Methods From January 2022 to July 2022,breast cancer patients in the breast medicine department or outpatients of a tertiary cancer hospital in Hunan Province were selected as respondents using a convenience sampling method.A baseline survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire,the Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Treated with Endocrine Therapy for Breast Cancer,and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale within 1 week prior to patient treatment.The Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Treated with Endocrine Therapy for Breast Cancer was used to assess patients'arthralgia levels at 3,6,and 9 months after treatment,and data were analyzed using growth mixed model,univariate analysis of variance,and multiple logistic regression.Results A total of 418 breast cancer patients completed the follow-up,with 235 cases(56.22%)developing arthralgia.3 potential categories of arthralgia develop-ment trajectories were identified:high level-slowly increasing group(11.48%),low level-slowly increasing group(44.74%),and asymptomatic group(43.78%).The results of multifactorial analysis showed that anxiety,history of bone and joint disease,sleep duration,place of residence,monthly household income,and frequency of exercise were predictors of potential categories for the development of trajectory of arthralgia levels associated with endocrine therapy in breast cancer patients(P<0.05).Conclusion Arthralgia levels associated with endocrine therapy in breast cancer patients exhibit different trajec-tories,and clinical staff should emphasize the assessment and intervention of pain levels in patients with the anxiety,a history of bone and joint disease,poor sleep,poor finances,living in urban areas,and low frequency of exercise.

Objective:To detect the abnormal changes of myocardial blood perfusion in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM) by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) combined with adenosine stress test.Methods:Fifteen adult patients with HCM who were treated in Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital from May 2021 to March 2022 were prospectively selected as the HCM group, and eighteen healthy volunteers matched by gender, age and body surface area during the same period were chosen as the control group. All subjects underwent routine echocardiography, rest and adenosine stress MCE. The MCE images were analyzed by QLab software to obtain the myocardial perfusion parameters: peak signal intensity (A value), rising slope of the curve (β value) and A×β value, and the differences of above parameters between the two groups were compared.According to whether the end-diastolic wall thickness ≥12 mm, the myocardial segments in the HCM group were divided into hypertrophic segments and non-hypertrophic segments. The differences in myocardial perfusion parameters were compared among control group segments, hypertrophic segments and non-hypertrophic segments of the HCM group. The correlations of stress myocardial blood flow with maximal left ventricular wall thickness (MLVWT), left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and left atrial volume index (LAVI) in the HCM group were analyzed.Results:Compared with the control group, the A value, β value and A×β value of whole myocardium, hypertrophic segments and non-hypertrophic segments in the HCM group were significantly decreased in the rest and adenosine stress state, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). In the stress state, the A value, β value and A×β value of the hypertrophic segments were significantly lower than those in the non-hypertrophic segments in the HCM group, and the detection rate of abnormal perfusion segments in the HCM group was significantly higher than that in the rest state(all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the myocardial blood flow reserve of whole myocardium, hypertrophic segments and non-hypertrophic segments in the HCM group were significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05). The stress myocardial blood flow in the HCM group was negatively correlated with MLVWT, LVMI and LAVI ( r=-0.815, -0.805, -0.742; all P<0.05). Conclusions:Myocardial blood perfusion abnormalities can occur in both hypertrophic and non-hypertrophic myocardial segments in patients with HCM, and adenosine stress MCE can significantly improve the sensitivity of detecting myocardial perfusion abnormalities. The stress myocardial blood flow in patients with HCM is negatively correlated with MLVWT, LVMI and LAVI.
