Objective: To investigate the current status and influencing factors for cognitive frailty among the elderly in community, so as to provide the evidence for early identification and prevention of cognitive frailty among the elderly. Methods: Residents aged 60 years and above with local household registration from 11 counties (cities, districts) in Zhejiang Province from 2021 to 2023 were selected as study participants using a multistage random sampling method. Demographic information, lifestyle, and health status were collected through questionnaire surveys. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire. Cognitive frailty was evaluated using the FRAIL Scale and the Mini-Mental State Examination. Factors affecting cognitive frailty among the elderly in community were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 16 613 individuals were surveyed, including 7 465 males (44.93%) and 9 148 females (55.07%). The average age was (70.97±7.29) years. A total of 784 individuals were detected with depressive symptoms, with a detection rate of 4.72%. A total of 724 individuals were detected with cognitive frailty, with a detection rate of 4.36%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that females (OR=1.419, 95%CI: 1.179-1.708), aged ≥70 years (70-<80 years old, OR=1.869, 95%CI: 1.490-2.345; ≥80 years old, OR=5.017, 95%CI: 3.935-6.398), without a spouse (OR=1.495, 95%CI: 1.234-1.810), sedentary (OR=2.420, 95%CI: 1.829-3.202), chronic diseases (1 type, OR=1.456, 95%CI: 1.175-1.804; ≥2 types, OR=1.639, 95%CI: 1.314-2.045), and depressive symptoms (OR=4.191, 95%CI: 3.361-5.225) were associated with a higher risk of cognitive frailty among the elderly in community. Conversely, a lower risk of cognitive frailty was seen among the elderly in community who had primary school or above (primary school, OR=0.512, 95%CI: 0.389-0.676; junior high school or above, OR=0.464, 95%CI: 0.354-0.608), engaged in physical exercise (OR=0.396, 95%CI: 0.291-0.539), and were reported average or good self-rated health status (average, OR=0.641, 95%CI: 0.475-0.866; good, OR=0.150, 95%CI: 0.109-0.208). Conclusions The detection rate of cognitive frailty among the elderly in community is relatively low and is influenced by demographic factors such as gender, age, education level, as well as lifestyle like sedentary and physical exercise, and health status. It is recommended to reduce the risk of cognitive frailty among the elderly through multidimensional interventions, including health education, promotion of healthy lifestyles, and enhanced mental health support.

Objective:To investigate changes and clinical significance of senescent cell proportion and senescence-associated cytokines in peripheral blood of patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML)in different states.Methods:AML patients who were diagnosed and treated in the Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University were selected as research subjects(17 cases in newly diag-nosed group,16 cases in remission group,and 12 cases in relapse group),morphology of leukemia blasts and proportion of senescent cells in peripheral blood of patients in each group were observed by Regis and senescence specific β-galactosidase(SA-β-gal)staining,levels of senescence-associated cytokines IL-8,IL-1β,IL-6,IL-10 in peripheral blood of each group were detected by cytometric bead array(CBA),and differences and clinical significance among groups were compared.Results:Relapse group peripheral blood smear Regis staining showed that morphology of leukemia blasts increased significantly and proportion of SA-β-gal positive cells was significantly increased(P<0.01);levels of serum senescence-associated cytokines IL-8,IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-10 in relapse group were significantly increased(P<0.05);there was no correlation between serum senescence-associated cytokine levels and proportion of peripheral blood leukemia blasts(P>0.05);relapsed patients with higher IL-8 levels trend to have lower re-induction remission rates and worse overall survival after relapse(P<0.05);multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that IL-8 level was an indepen-dent risk factor for prognosis of relapsed patients(P<0.05).Conclusion:Increased proportion of senescent cells and significantly increased levels of senescence-associated cytokines IL-8,IL-1β,IL-6,IL-10 in peripheral blood of AML patients are closely related to disease recurrence,and relapsed patients with higher IL-8 level had poor prognosis.

Objective:To analyze the effect of recombinant human thrombopoietin(rhTPO)on platelet(PLT)reconstitution after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation(APBSCT)in patients with multiple myeloma(MM).Methods:The clinical data of 147 MM patients who were diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and received APBSCT as the first-line therapy were retrospectively analyzed.According to whether rhTPO was used during APBSCT,the patients were divided into rhTPO group(80 cases)and control group(67 cases).The time of PLT engraftment,blood product infusion requirements,the proportion of patients with PLT recovery to ≥ 50 × 109/L and ≥ 100 × 109/L at+14 days and+100 days after transplantation,and adverse reactions including the incidence of bleeding were compared between the two groups.Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups in sex,age,M protein type,PLT count at the initial diagnosis,median duration of induction therapy before APBSCT,and number of CD34+cells reinfused(all P＞0.05).The median time of PLT engraftment in the rhTPO group was 10(6-14)days,which was shorter than 11(8-23)days in the control group(P＜0.001).The median PLT transfusion requirement in the rhTPO group during APBSCT was 15(0-50)U,which was less than 20(0-80)U in the control group(P=0.001).At+14 days after transplantation,the proportions of patients with PLT 2 50 × 109/L in the rhTPO group and the control group were 66.3％and 52.2％,while the proportions of patients with PLT ≥ 100 × 109/L were 23.8％and 11.9％,respectively,with no significant differences(all P＞0.05).At+100 days after transplantation,the proportion of patients with PLT ≥ 50 × 109/L in rhTPO group and control group was 96.3％and 89.6％,respectively(P＞0.05),but the proportion of patients with PLT ≥ 100 × 109/L in rhTPO group was higher than that in control group(75.0％vs 55.2％,P=0.012).There was no difference in the overall incidence of bleeding events in different locations during period of low PLT level of patients between the two groups.In rhTPO group,the rhTPO administration was well tolerated,and the incidences of abnormal liver and kidney function and infection were similar to those in the control group.Conclusion:When MM patients undergo first-line APBSCT,subcutaneous injection of rhTPO can shorten the time of platelet engraftment,reduce the transfusion volume of blood products,and be well tolerated,moreover,more patients have achieve a high level of PLT recovery after transplantation,which is very important for ensuring the safety of APBSCT and maintenance therapy.

Objective:To explore the changes in number and immune function of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in peripheral blood of patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML),and its correlation with the occurrence and development of AML. Methods:Seventy-five clinical samples of patients with newly diagnosed AML and 48 healthy control samples in our hospital from January 2022 to February 2023 were included. Multiparametric flow cytometry was used to detect the number of MAIT cells,membrane surface markers,effector phenotypes and functional indicators in the samples. Results:Compared with healthy controls,the percentage of MAIT cells in CD3+T cells in peripheral blood of newly diagnosed AML patients was significantly reduced (P<0.001). The percentage of MAIT cells in all CD3+T cells in bone marrow of AML patients was similar to that in peripheral blood (P>0.05). Most of MAIT cells in peripheral blood of AML patients were effector memory T cells. Compared with healthy controls,the proportion of effector memory MAIT cells decreased (P<0.05),while the proportion of terminally differentiated effector memory MAIT cells and PD-1+MAIT cells increased significantly (both P<0.05). AML patients' peripheral blood MAIT cells expressed significantly higher levels of granzyme B and perforin than healthy controls (both P<0.05),and secreted significantly lower levels of cytokines such as gamma interferon and tumor necrosis factor α than healthy controls (both P<0.001). Conclusion:Compared with healthy controls,the proportion of MAIT cells in AML patients is reduced and the expression of functional markers is abnormal,suggesting that their function is impaired and may be involved in the occurrence and development of AML.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of mindfulness between professional identity and positive emotions among medical students.Methods:From February to April 2022, a total of 878 undergraduates from a medical school in Shandong Province were selected by cluster sampling method. The medical professional identity questionnaire, positive and negative affective scale, and mindful attention awareness scale were utilized for cross-sectional investigation. SPSS 22.0 software was used for descriptive and correlation analysis, and AMOS 25.0 software was used to test the mediating effect.Results:(1) The scores for medical students' professional identity, positive emotions, and mindfulness were 140.00 (125.00, 150.00), 30.00 (28.00, 35.00), and 52.00 (44.00, 63.00), respectively. The dimension scores of occupational cognition, occupational emotion, occupational commitment, occupational behavior, occupational expectation and occupational sense of value in the medical professional identity questionnaire were 23.00 (20.00, 25.00), 19.00 (16.00, 20.00), 19.00 (16.00, 21.00), 16.00 (13.00, 16.00), 32.00 (28.00, 36.00), and 31.00 (29.00, 34.00), respectively. (2) The total and dimension scores of professional identity, positive emotions, and mindfulness were significantly and positively correlated with each other( r=0.125-0.390, all P<0.001). (3) Mindfulness partially mediated the relationship between professional identity and positive emotions (effect size=0.02, 95% CI=0.01-0.04), and the mediating effect accounted for 4.76%(0.02/0.42) of the total effect. Conclusion:Professional identity can directly affect the positive emotions of medical students, and indirectly affect the positive emotions through the mediating role of mindfulness.

Objective:To explore and analyze the efficacy of preoperative intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing bleeding and alleviating early postoperative pain in elderly patients with proximal humeral fractures (PHF) who underwent minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) approach with open reduction and locking plate internal fixation.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 165 elderly patients with partial or partial PHF who underwent open reduction and locking plate internal fixation via MIPO approach at the Yixing People′s Hospital from June 2018 to June 2021. According to whether TXA was used intravenously 30 minutes before surgery, patients were divided into a TXA group (77 cases) and a control group (88 cases). The surgical time, hemoglobin decrease, total blood loss (TBL), intraoperative blood loss (IBL), postoperative drainage volume, visible blood loss (VBL), hidden blood loss (HBL), blood transfusion status, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score for surgical site pain 24 hours after surgery, postoperative hospital stay, shoulder Constant-Murley function score at 1 and 3 months after surgery, and complications were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results:The TBL, VBL, IBL, HBL, postoperative drainage volume, hemoglobin decrease, transfusion rate, postoperative VAS score at the surgical site, and hospital stay in the TXA group were all lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The VAS score at the surgical site 24 hours after surgery was positively correlated with TBL and HBL in two groups of patients ( r=0.402, 0.418, P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the TXA group had a higher shoulder Constant-Murley function score at 1 month after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.002). There was no statistically significant difference in shoulder Constant-Murley function score and incidence of complications between the two groups at 3 months after surgery (all P>0.05). Conclusions:For elderly patients with partial or partial PHF who underwent open reduction and locking plate internal fixation using MIPO approach, intravenous infusion of TXA 30 minutes before surgery can help alleviate postoperative pain at the surgical site, reduce intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, lower transfusion rates, shorten hospital stay, and do not increase the incidence of complications such as incision abnormalities and thrombosis, which is beneficial for promoting early and rapid recovery of patients.

Objective:To explore the independent risk factors for the occurrence and aggravation of lower back pain (LBP) in patients with Parkinson′s disease (PD), in order to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the case data of 309 PD patients who visited the Affiliated Yixing Hospital of Jiangsu University from June 2018 to May 2020. The KING Parkinson′s Disease Pain Scale (KPPS) was used to quantitatively evaluate the LBP of PD patients, who were divided into LBP group and Non LBP group. The general clinical data, PD related data, and imaging data of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate independent risk factors for LBP in PD patients. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted between KPPS scores and various factors, and linear regression analysis was used to identify the relevant risk factors that exacerbate LBP in PD patients.Results:Compared with the Non LBP group, the LBP group had lower bone mineral density (BMD) and a lower proportion of patients who engaged in daily exercise. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Compared with the Non LBP group, patients in the LBP group had a longer course of illness, higher stiffness scores, a higher proportion of patients with fluctuating symptoms, higher UPDRS-Ⅲ scores, and a higher proportion of patients with thoracolumbar fascial injury (TLFI) and lumbar sagittal imbalance. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that combined TLFI ( OR=2.773, 95% CI: 1.219-6.309, P=0.015), combined lumbar sagittal imbalance ( OR=4.835, 95% CI: 2.244-10.421, P<0.001), and lower BMD ( OR=2.818, 95% CI: 1.767-4.493, P<0.001) were risk factors for LBP in PD patients. The KPPS score was correlated with BMD and TLFI ( r=-0.146, 0.294, all P<0.05). The linear regression results showed that the merged TLFI ( B=2.271, β=0.285, P<0.001) was positively correlated with KPPS score, indicating a risk factor. Conclusions:The combination of TLFI, lumbar sagittal imbalance, and lower BMD is closely related to the occurrence of LBP in PD patients, and the combination of TLFI is an independent risk factor for exacerbating LBP symptoms. Clinical attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of TLFI in PD patients.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) patients in the era of first-line chemoimmunotherapy.Methods:Medical records of 56 patients with ES-SCLC who received thoracic radiotherapy after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy plus immunotherapy in Cancer Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The control group was not established for clinical causes. The overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analyses were employed to identify prognostic factors using the Cox proportional hazards model. The cumulative incidence of local regional recurrence (LRR) was estimated using the Fine-Grey competing risks regression model.Results:Among 56 patients in our cohort, 47 patients received consolidative TRT (cTRT) before progression and 9 patients received salvage TRT after progression. The median follow-up time was 21 months (95% CI=19.8-22.2 months), the median OS was not reached, the median PFS was 9 months (95% CI=7.0-13.0 months), and the 1-year and 18-month OS rates were 84.9%, 62.1%. In the cTRT group, the 1-year and 18-month OS rates were 84.1%, 64.5%, with the median PFS of 10 months; 1-year and 18-month LRFS rates were 73.6% and 66.0%, respectively; the cumulative incidence of LRR at 1-year and 2-year were 24.9% and 30.8%, respectively. No other 4-5 grade adverse events (AE) were reported except 6 patients presenting with 4 grade hematologic toxicities. Three grade radiation esophagitis occurred in 3 patients (5%). Ten patients (18%) developed 1-2 grade treatment-related pneumonitis, including 5 (9%) patients with immune related pneumonitis and 5 (9%) patients with radiation pneumonitis. Conclusion:The application of TRT after first-line chemoimmunotherapy is safe and may has potential survival benefit for patients with ES-SCLC.

Objective: To elucidate the association between biorhythm disorders and health risk behaviors in adolescence, so as to provide reference for appropriate interventions. Methods: From March to April 2023, 2 381 adolescents in Shanghai were selected as research objects using convenience sampling and stratified random cluster sampling methods. The Self rating Questionnaire of Biological Rhythm Disorders for Adolescents (SQBRDA) and the self report health risk behaviors questionnaire were used to investigate the status of adolescent biorhythm disorders and nine kinds of health risk behaviors, while a multivariate Logistic regression model was employed to analyze the association between the two variables. Results: The average SQBRDA score was (68.25±0.42) The incidence and detection rates of health risk behaviors in the groups with no co occurrence, mild co occurrence, moderate co occurrence, and severe co occurrence were 234(9.83%), 1 176(49.39%), 830(34.86%) and 141(5.92%), respectively. The total SQBRDA score was positively correlated with the risk of co occurrence of health risk behaviors. The risk of mild co occurrence, moderate co occurrence, and severe co occurrence of health risk behaviors was 9.05 times (95% CI =4.25-19.15, P <0.01), 44.55 times (95% CI =20.75-96.05, P <0.01) and 110.05 times (95% CI =40.65-297.95, P <0.01) higher, respectively, among adolescents with higher scores of biorhythm disorders compared to adolescents with lower scores of biorhythm disorders. Conclusions Health risk behaviors among adolescents in Shanghai draw attention to a serious phenomenon whereby biorhythm disorders are positively correlated with the risk of co occurrence. Comprehensive interventions aimed at addressing adolescent health risk behaviors should focus on regulating biorhythm disorders.
