Objective:To explore the mediating role of activity of daily living between social support and cognitive function of rural elderly.Methods:A face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted from July to August 2019 among 1 626 rural elderly people selected by multi-stage cluster random method in Guiyang City and Qiannan Prefecture, Guizhou Province.The contents include general situation, social support rate scale (SSRS), activity of daily living scale (ADL) and mini-mental state examination (MMSE). Partial correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship among social support, activity of daily living and cognitive function in the elderly by SPSS 23.0 software. AMOS 28.0 software was used to construct structural equation models, and Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating role of activity of daily living.Results:The scores of cognitive function, social support and activity of daily living of the rural elderly were (20.83±5.47), (34.96±6.42) and (16.51±3.29), respectively.There were statistically significant differences in the cognitive function scores among rural elderly with different levels of social support and activity of daily living( F=33.418, t=25.533, P<0.01). The partial correlation analysis showed that the social support score was positively correlated with the cognitive function score ( r=0.161, P<0.01), and the activity of daily living score was negatively correlated with scores of social support and cognitive function ( r=-0.083, -0.453, both P<0.01). Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that social support, objective support dimensions, activity of daily living and instrumental activity of daily living were influencing factors of cognitive function of rural elderly( P<0.001).The results of structural equation model showed that the activity of daily living played a partial mediating role between social support and cognitive function in rural elderly, with the mediating effect of 0.046 (95% CI=0.025-0.075), accounting for 13.18% of total effect (effect value=0.349, 95% CI=0.277-0.415). Conclusion:The activity of daily living of rural elderly plays a partial mediating effect between social support and cognitive functioning.

OBJECTIVE To establish the quality standard of Triadica cochinchinensis and to perform the acute toxicity study. METHODS Appearance properties, powder microscopic identification, and thin-layer chromatography(TLC) identification were researched. The specific chromatogram was established by HPLC. The content of cadmium(Cd), lead(Pb), arsenic(As), copper(Cu), and mercury(Hg) was determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry(ICP-MS). Acute toxicity was studied by maximum dose. RESULTS The outer skin of herbs was dark brown, and the inner surface was light yellow brown and fibrous. Besides, crystal sheath fiber was common, and calcium oxalate clusters arranges in rows. In the TLC diagram of the test product, the fluorescent spots of the same color were displayed at the corresponding position of the control product(scopoletin, isofraxidin). Five common peaks were calibrated in the characteristic map and the three characteristic peaks(scopoletin, isofraxidin, dimethylfraxetin) were recognized. The content of the measured heavy metal elements was lower than the national limit standard. The linear correlation coefficient was R2 > 0.999. The precision, stability, repetitive RSD were < 10%. The average recovery rate of the added sample was 80%−120%, and the RSD was < 10%. The maximum dose of the acute toxicity test was 184.09 g·kg−1. The 14 d internal body mass, food intake, organ-body ratios, the serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine were not significantly different by comparing with the normal controls. Therefore, no significant toxicity was observed. CONCLUSION The established standard can provide a reference for evaluating the quality of Triadica cochinchinensis. The heavy metal content of ten batches of medicinal materials is within the safe range. Acute toxicity test show that there is no obvious significant adverse teactions after oral administration, and the safe dose range is large, which can provide a reference for the subsequent development and utilization.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To analyze and summarize the research history, development status, trends and hotspots of Codonopsis Radix by bibliometrics. METHODS Search and screen the related literatures of Codonopsis Radix from the CNKI database and the Web of Science core collection database from Januar 1, 1992 to June 30, 2022. VOSviewer and CiteSpace softwares were used for visual analysis of the number of publications, authors, institutions, countries, funding funds, published journals, literature citation frequency, keywords, clustering and emergent word, and a visual graph was drew. RESULTS A total of 594 effective literature, 484 in Chinese and 110 in English were included. GAO Jianping and ZOU Yuanfeng were the scholars with the largest amount of Chinese and English literature. China was the country with the most published researches on Codonopsis Radix. The School of Pharmaceutical Science of Shanxi Medical University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences were the institutions with the largest number of Chinese and English literature publications respectively. The National Science Foundation of China was the largest fund to support the research of Codonopsis Radix. The journal that received the most Chinese and English literature were Journal of Chinese Medicinal Materials and International Journal of Biological Macromolecules respectively. The most frequently cited Chinese literature was a summary of the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of Codonopsis Radix. The most frequently cited English literature was a study on the structure identification and pharmacological effects of Codonopsis Radix polysaccharides. The map of key words, clustering and emergent words in Chinese literature showed that the main research directions of Codonopsis Radix were compatibility formula, resource planting, pharmacological action and quality control. The map of key words, clustering and emergent words in English literature indicated that the study of Codonopsis Radix always focused on the material basis and mechanism of its active ingredients. CONCLUSION The annual publications on of Codonopsis Radix show an increasing trend, and the main research institutions are distributed in many universities and research institutes in China. Both Chinese and English literature have their own research directions, and the pharmacological effects of active ingredients are the common trend hotspots.

Objective To explore the effects of diversified continuing nursing on recovery of patients with breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy. Methods A total of 90 patients with breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy were divided into observation group ( 45 cases ) and control group ( 45 cases ) according to random number table method. Patients in two groups received health guidance before leaving hospital, while those in observation group also received continuing nursing after leaving hospital. One month after leaving hospital, recovery of flaps and function of affected upper limb were evaluated. Results The flaps recovery of patients in observation group were better than those in control group with a significant difference ( P<0. 05). There were statistically significant differences in horizontal abduction of shoulder joint, upward abduction of shoulder joint, dorsiflexion of middle finger, distance of seventh cervical vertebra between two groups ( P<0. 05). Conclusions Diversified continuing nursing can effectively reduce complications of breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy and promote function recovery of the upper limb of patients.
