As an inevitable trend of social development, aging has generated a wide and far-reaching impact on every aspect of society, especially posing severe challenges for the heath system of all countries and regions around the world. Facing the objective reality of humans co-existing with diseases in a long term and people’s ever-growing demand for healthcare, the successful development of vaccine products can provide people with effective preventive measures to combat infectious diseases. This article summarizes the development and use of 4 vaccines that are suitable for the elder population, i.e., influenza vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine, varicella-zoster virus vaccine and respiratory syncytial virus vaccine, aiming to provide some reference for the development and popularization of these vaccines and to improve the well-being of the senior citizens.

Objective To establish interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3(Ifitm3)knockout mice and to explore the effects of Ifitm3 on the proliferation and differentiation of adult neural stem cells of mice(aNSCs).Methods IFITM3 knockout mice were established by the CRISPR/Cas9 method and identified by genotype identification and Western Blot.The differences between Ifitm3-knockout mice and wild-type mice were analyzed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and flow cytometry.The aNSCs of wild-type mice and Ifitm3-knockout mice were isolated and cultured,the number and size of neurospheres were detected,The ability of aNSCs to proliferate and differentiate were detected by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction,Western Blot,and immunofluorescence.Results Ifitm3-knockout mice were successfully established.The mice developed normally,and there were no obvious abnormalities either histopathologically or the immune system.In vitro experiments showed that Ifitm3 knockout inhibited the self-renewal potential of aNSCs,led to a decrease in the proliferation ability of aNSCs,and inhibited the differentiation of aNSCs into immature neurons and astrocytes.Conclusions This study finds that a lack of IFITM3 result in the ability of aNSCs to proliferate and differentiate decreased,IFITM3 may regulate the function of aNSCs.

Objective To analyze the correlation between cumulative fluid balance volume and increasing plasma volume and aggravated clinical congestion symptoms in patients with heart failure on admission for 1～7 d,and to explore the application value of cumulative fluid balance volume in predicting volume overload.Methods Using the convenience sampling method,235 heart failure patients hospitalized from October 2022 to February 2023 in a total of 3 tertiary hospitals in Nanjing,Lianyungang,Jiangsu Province,and Zhumadian,Henan Province,were selected and classified into an increasing/decreasing plasma volume group and an aggravated/alleviated clinical congestion symptoms group.General information,clinical characteristics,and 1～7 d cumulative fluid balance volume of the study subjects were collected to compare the differences in cumulative fluid balance volume between the 2 groups.Logistic regression was used to analyze the effect of cumulative fluid balance volume on plasma volume and clinical congestion symptoms.Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to analyze the optimal cutoff value of cumulative fluid balance volume for predicting increasing plasma volume and aggravated clinical congestion symptoms.Results Excluding 15 pat ients who were discharged early and 3 patients with inaccurate records of fluid intake and excretion,a total of 217 patients were included.The incidence of positive fluid balance was lowest on day 1,at 65.90%,with the smallest cumulative volume of(0.235±0.983)L;the highest incidence of positive balance occurred on day 6,at 75.58%,with the largest cumulative volume of(2.444±5.445)L.The cumulative fluid balance at 4～7 d in the increasing plasma volume group was higher than that in the decreasing plasma volume group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);the cumulative fluid balance at 4～7 d was an independent risk factor for plasma volume elevation,and a cumulative fluid balance of 2.308,3.361,3.518,and 3.702 L at 4～7 d was predictive of a plasma volume elevation,and areas under receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.686,0.721,0.647,and 0.766,respectively.The cumulative fluid balance for 4～7 d in the aggravated clinical congestion symptoms group was higher than that in the alleviated clinical congestion symptoms group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);the cumulative fluid balance for 4～7 d was an independent risk factor for the aggravated clinical congestion symptoms,and a cumulative fluid balance for 4～7 d of 2.574,3.383,4.995,and 4.235 L predicted aggravated clinical congestion symptoms,and area under receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.640,0.693,0.654,and 0.720,respectively.Conclusion The incidence of cumulative positive fluid balance in heart failure patients is high,and the amount of cumulative fluid balance can better predict the occurrence of volume overload,and the increase of plasma volume precedes the appearance of clinical congestion symptoms.It is suggested that heart failure patients with more than 3 d of cumulative positive balance should be closely monitored,and when the cumulative positive balance exceeds 2.308 L,measures should be taken in time to drain excessive fluid,so as to avoid the incidence of volume overload.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for postsurgical gastroparesis syndrome (PGS) after laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision (CME) for right colon cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 358 patients who underwent laparoscopic CME for right colon cancer were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistics regression were used to analyze the independent risk factors for PGS.Results:PGS occurred in 19 patients (4.8%). Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative anxiety score (PAS-7)≥14 ( OR=6.450, P=0.039), preoperative serum albumin<35 g/L ( OR=9.302, P=0.011), colon cancer at hepatic flexura ( OR=9.782, P=0.007), No.206 group lymph node dissection ( OR=8.317, P=0.004), and intra-abdominal infection ( OR=5.755, P=0.043) were independent risk factors for PGS. Conclusion:Patient's preoperative health status, tumor location, scope of lymph node dissection and postoperative intra-abdominal infection are all risk factors related to PGS after CME for right colon cancer.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of long intramedullary nails versus short intramedullary nails in the treatment of AO/OTA 31-A3 intertrochanteric fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 60 patients with AO/OTA 31-A3 intertrochanteric femur fractures treated between March 2019 and August 2022. The patients were randomly divided into two groups (the long nail group and the short nail group). Thirty-four patients were treated with long intramedullary nails, including 16 males and 18 females, aged 68.41±17.84 years old (range 31-96 years). Twenty-six patients were treated with short intramedullary nails, including 13 males and 13 females, aged 72.23±13.97 years old (range 31-90 years). The causes of injury, fracture classification (AO/OTA classification), intraoperative blood loss, operation time, fracture healing time, imaging indexes (fracture reduction quality, postoperative neck trunk angle, and medial support), Harris score of the hip joint at the last follow-up, one-year mortality rates and complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The follow-up time was 24.26±6.67 months in the long nail group and 24.31±5.60 months in the short nail group, and the general information of the two groups were comparable. Between the long nail and short nail group, the intraoperative blood loss was 281.47±235.28 ml vs. 121.92±84.14 ml and the operation time was 110.44±24.63 min vs. 81.15±28.54 min with significant differences ( P<0.05). While the length of hospital stay was 12.35±4.81 d vs. 10.89±4.30 d, the good rate of fracture reduction was 55.9% vs. 61.53%, the fracture healing time was 120.44±16.43 d vs. 128.07±18.33 d, the presence rate of medial support was 67.6% vs. 79.4%, and the excellent rate of Harris score was 65.4% vs. 65.4% with no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). One-year mortality rates was 5.3% vs. 7.1% and complications was 11.7% vs. 15.4% with no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Both long intramedullary nails and short intramedullary nails are effective in the treatment of AO/OTA 31-A3 intertrochanteric femur fractures. However, surgical time and intraoperative blood loss was less in the short nail group.

Objective To understand the prevalence of diseases among the elderly in China and the main influencing factors on their ability to live independently in the community, so as to carry out comprehensive assessment and screening of the elderly in the community and achieve healthy aging. Methods The impact of diseases on the health of the elderly in China was quantified through indicators such as disability-adjusted life years, thereby assessing the changing trend of disease burden. Results The disease burden of chronic diseases and injuries is increasing year by year and has become the main disease burden for the elderly. Cardiovascular disease and cancer have the highest proportion of disability-adjusted life years year-round. Disability-adjusted life years for musculoskeletal diseases, traffic injuries, and accidental injuries increased significantly. The incidence of falls and road injuries in the elderly is increasing year by year. The prevalence of oral diseases has always been high and the disability-adjusted life years caused by them have been increasing year by year. At the same time, there are gender differences in prevalence rates and disability-adjusted life years among the elderly. Conclusion Comprehensive assessment of the elderly and timely intervention should be carried out extensively in the community, so as to detect potential problems and functional defects of the elderly early, reduce falls, disability, cognitive impairment, depression and other problems, and at the same time pay attention to the oral health of the elderly and improve their health. People's oral health care knowledge, publicize and popularize correct oral health care habits. Actively promote geriatric medicine education and encourage the whole society to participate in maximizing the maintenance of the functional status and quality of life of the elderly.

Objective:To explore the impact and cost-effectiveness of community stroke screening intervention mode on stroke risk.Methods:A total of 3 561 community people over 40 years old who participated in screening intervention in 2017,2019 and 2021 were selected as research objects,and stroke risk was divided into low risk,medium risk and high risk.A Markov model was established to explore the impact of screening intervention mode on stroke risk in community population.The cost increment during the phase I trial was calculated,and the life year increment was adjusted according to the quality estimate of previous studies.The cost-effectiveness increment ratio was calculated,and the screening intervention mode was evaluated,and univariate sensitivity analysis was performed.Results:Within a certain range,intervention screening could effectively shift the status of residents to the low-risk direction,and finally stabilize the distribution of low-risk,medium-risk and high-risk were 47.4％,31.0％and 21.6％.The incremental cost of interventional screening was 160 245 yuan,the incremental quality-adjusted life year was 151.129 yuan,and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER)was 1 060.319 yuan/QALY,which was less than 1 times the per capita GDP.The intervention program was fully cost-effective.Conclusion:Screening intervention can promote the transformation of the commu-nity population to a low-risk state of stroke in the prevention stage,and this approach has good cost-effectiveness performance.It is recommended that the primary medical and health institutions that are not enough to fully implement the integrated process ser-vice of community prevention and treatment of stroke should first implement low-cost screening intervention.
