OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of potentially inappropriate medication （PIM） among the elderly in nursing homes in Urumqi based on three PIM screening tools， and to compare the applicability of different tools. METHODS A cross-sectional study design was adopted. Elderly individuals from six nursing homes in Urumqi were selected as the research subjects from May 2021 to September 2023. Demographic characteristics， disease burden and medication records of the elderly were collected. PIM screening was performed using the Chinese PIM criteria （2024 edition）， the American Geriatrics Society （AGS） Beers criteria （2023 edition）， and the Screening Tool of Older Person’S Prescriptions（STOPP）/Screening Tool to Alert to Right Treatment（START） （2023 edition）. Fleiss’s Kappa test was used to assess the consistency among the three screening tools， and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of PIM. RESULTS The prevalence of PIM screened by the Chinese PIM criteria was 47.4% （323/682）， by the AGS Beers criteria was 43.4% （296/682）， and by the STOPP criteria was 50.9% （347/682）. The consistency among the three screening tools was low （Fleiss’s Kappa＝0.12， P ＜0.001）. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that all three screening tools indicated that polypharmacy， aspirin use and psychotropic drug use were independent risk factors for PIM among elderly in nursing houses （all OR＞1， P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of PIM among the elderly in nursing homes in Urumqi is relatively high. Polypharmacy， aspirin use and psychotropic drug use are common independent risk factors for PIM. There are differences in screening results among the three tools with low consistency. The Chinese PIM criteria can serve as a first-line tool for PIM screening in nursing homes.

Wound repair and infection have long posed significant challenges in clinical medicine.Am-phibians,adapting to complex environments through long-term natural selection,have evolved skin sys-tems with remarkable abilities to resist external damage and promote rapid wound healing,making them an important source for discovering candidate molecules for wound healing.In this study,a novel peptide composed of 22 amino acids,with the sequence"VGKAGLETAACKATNSCFNIDW"and a molecular weight of 2299.6 D,was screened from the cDNA library of Odorrana tormota and named PN-VW22.The peptide was synthesized by solid-phase synthesis,and its effects on cell proliferation were evaluated using the CCK-8 assay and scratch wound healing assay in human keratinocytes(HaCaT)and mouse em-bryonic fibroblasts(NIH3T3).Antibacterial activity was assessed by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC).Results showed that PN-VW22 at various concentrations had no significant effect on the cell viability in NIH3T3 cells(P＞0.05),but significantly enhanced HaCaT cell viability at 0.5μmol/L(P＜0.001).Meanwhile,PN-VW22 induced cell proliferation and promoted wound healing in HaCaT cells,with a healing rate of 64.44％after 24 h incubation at 0.5 μmol/L.Furthermore,PN-VW22 exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with an MIC value of 13.92 μmol/L.In sum,this study identified PN-VW22 as a novel bifunctional peptide with both wound repair and anti-infective properties,providing a new toxin peptide template for the development of wound healing drugs.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

This research aims to construct a stable epithelial cell senescence model for screening and e-valuation of senolytics.We explored the optimal conditions for doxorubicin-induced senescence of non-transformed epithelial cells MCF 10A,including the optimal induction concentration,the optimal inter-vention time,and the optimal senescence duration,and confirmed the feasibility of MCF 10A as an epi-thelial senescence model by multiple ways.The optimal condition for Doxorubicin-induced senescence of MCF 10A cells was treatment with 0.6 μmol/L Doxorubicin for 16 h to achieve the best senescence state on the 8th day.Under the optimal induction conditions,the positive rate of senescence-associated β-gal-actosidase(SA-β-gal)staining in the treated group reached 97％.At the same time,biochemical results of detecting the expression of mRNA,proteins,and immunofluorescence demonstrated that the expression levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP),p16,p21 and p53 in the treated group were significantly higher than those in the control cells,and Lamin B1 was significantly decreased(P＜0.001),which were consistent with the specific characteristics of senescence.In summary,an epithelial senescence model was successfully induced in MCF 10A cells by Doxorubicin in this study,which will promote the screening of senolytics for senescent epithelial cells.

Objective:To observe the effect of modified autologous skull defect repair in patients with traumatic brain injury and its influence on neurological function and living ability.Methods:104 patients with traumatic brain injury who were admitted to our hospital from March 2022 to August 2024 were included,they were divided into Group A[37 cases,poly ether ether ketone(PEEK)skull defect repair],Group B(35 cases,traditional titanium mesh skull defect repair),and Group C(32 cases,modified autologous skull defect repair).Perioperative indicators,neurological function,activity of daily living,quality of life,satisfaction,and incidence of postoperative complications were compared among three groups.Results:There were no differences in the operation time,operation blood loss and postoperative hospital stay among the three groups(P＞0.05).The hospitalization costs of Group A,Group B and Group C decreased successively(P＜0.05).Activity of Daily Living(ADL)scores at 3 and 6 months after surgery increased among three groups,while National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)scores decreased(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in physiological function,social function,psychological function,and material life among the three groups at 6 months after surgery(P＞0.05).The overall satisfaction rate in Group C was higher than that of Group A and Group B(P＜0.05).The overall incidence of complications in Group C was lower than that in Group A and Group B(P＜0.05).Conclusion:PEEK,traditional titanium mesh,and modified autologous skull are used in skull defect repair,operation time,operation blood loss and postoperative hospital stay are comparable,they can also reduce neurological function damage,improve living ability,and enhance the quality of life of patients,however,PEEK is relatively expensive,the satisfaction of traditional titanium mesh is low,andincidence of postoperative complications are relatively high.
