ObjectiveTo develop a community-family management model for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and to formulate detailed application specifications, and to fully leverage the initiative of communities and families under limited resource conditions, for achieving community-based early detection and early intervention for older adults with MCI. MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted to identify pertinent publications. Corpus-based research methodologies were employed to extract, refine, integrate and synthesize management elements, thereby establishing the specific content and service processes for each stage of the management model. Utilizing the 5W2H analytical framework, essential elements such as management stakeholders, target populations, content and methods for each stage were delineated. The model and its application guidelines were finalized through expert consultation and demonstration. ResultsAn expert evaluation of the management model yielded mean scores of 4.84, 4.32 and 4.84 for acceptability, feasibility and systematicity, respectively. By integrating the identified core elements with expert ratings and feedback, the final iteration of the community-family management model for older adults with MCI was formulated. This model comprised of five stages: screening and identification, comprehensive assessment, intervention planning, monitoring and referral pathways to ensure implementation, and enhanced support for communities, family members and caregivers. Additionally, it included 18 specific application guidelines. ConclusionThe proposed management model may theoretically help delay cognitive decline, improve cognitive function and potentially promote reversal from MCI to normal cognition. It may also enhance the awareness and coping capacity of older adults and their families, strengthen community healthcare professionals' ability to early identify and manage MCI.

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP)after COVID-19 epidemic so as to offer help for early clinical diagnosis and treatment.METHODS The clinical data that were collected from the MPP patients who were treated in the fever clinic of the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from Jul.2023 to Aug.2024 were retrospectively analyzed.The results of laboratory tests for the different age groups of patients complicated with other pathogens were statistically analyzed.RESULTS Of totally 161 MPP patients who were enrolled in the study,78(48.85％)were male,and 83(51.55％)were fe-male;the average age was(32.98±14.35)years old,and the patients aged between 20 and 40 years old accoun-ted for 43.48％(70 cases).The enrolled patients were divided into the simple MPP group with 92(57.14％)ca-ses and the MPP+mixed group with 69(42.86％)cases according to the result of etiological test of sputum;the patients of MPP+mixed group were divided into the MPP+bacteria group with 42(60.87％)cases,the MPP+fungi group with 10(14.49％)cases,and the MPP+viruses group with 17(24.64％)cases.There was significant difference in the age among the groups(P＜0.05);there were no significant differences in the sex,white blood cell counts and percentage of mononuclear cells among the groups,the percentage of lymphocytes was highest in the simple MPP group,the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP)and interleukin-6(IL-6)were highest in the MPP+bacteria group,and there were significant differences(P＜0.05).All of the patients were divided into three groups:the ≤20-year-old group the＞20-40-year old group and the＞40-year-old group.There were no sig-nificant differences in the white blood cell counts,percentage of lymphocytes,percentage of mononuclear cells and IL-6 level among the three groups,and the CRP level was highest in the＞20-40-year old group(P=0.025).Ran-dom forest model analysis showed that the weight of CRP was highest(22.65％)among the clinical characteristics of the MPP patients,which played a key role in construction of model.As for other factors,the weight of age was 17.02％,the percentage of lymphocytes 15.34％,the white blood cells counts 14.86％,the percentage of mono-nuclear cells 14.39％,the IL-6 13.61％,the gender 2.13％.CONCLUSION MPP maintains common among the patients aged less than 40 years old after the COVID-19 epidemic,nearly half of the patients are complicated with the infections of other pathogens,and CRP is more helpful for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of the MPP in early stage.

Objective:To investigate the association between hearing loss and the type of indoor fuel applications in Chinese middle-aged and elderly people through longitudinal cohort study.Methods:Data were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), including adults aged 45 years and older enrolled in 2011, with follow-up for cooking and heating analyses extending to 2018 and 2015, respectively. The study calculated the incidence of hearing loss based on an indoor cooking or heating fuel type and expressed in terms of per 100 person-years. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess the association between solid fuel use and hearing loss, and covariates such as gender, education, and economy were controlled. We also analyzed the impact of indoor fuel type and its switching on hearing loss.Results:A total of 6, 772 participants using household fuels for cooking (2011-2018) and 4, 618 for heating (2011-2015) were included. Those using solid fuels for cooking [(58.0±8.2) years] and heating [(58.1±8.5) years] were generally slightly older than that of those who used clean fuels. In the cooking analysis, the overall incidence of hearing loss was higher among solid fuel users compared to clean fuel users (Clean fuel: 2.6 cases per 100 person-years; solid fuel: 3.6 cases per 100 person-years; the difference between the two was statistically significant, P<0.05). However, no significant difference was observed in the heating analysis ( P>0.05). Further classification of fuel-type use revealed that the incidence of hearing loss was the highest among people who had been using solid fuels consistently. Compared to the clean fuel group, the fully adjusted hazard ratio (HR) was 1.5 (95% CI: 1.3-1.7) in the cooking analysis and 1.5 (95% CI: 1.1-2.0) in the heating analysis. Compared with using clean fuels, switching from clean fuels to solid fuels increased the risk of hearing loss both during cooking and heating processes. Conclusion:In the CHARLS database, individuals who use solid fuels for indoor cooking and heating are older than those who use clean fuels. Compared with clean fuel use, the use of solid fuels increases the risk of hearing loss in middle-aged and elderly people. Reducing the use of solid fuels, choosing clean fuels as substitutes for solid fuels, and avoiding the switch from clean fuels to solid fuels will help protect the hearing health of middle-aged and elderly individuals.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application effect of Zishen Yutai Pill in patients with repeated implantation failure (RIF) undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted, selecting 744 cycles of patients with RIF at the Department of Female Reproductive Medicine,State Key Laboratory of Reproductive Medicine and Offspring Health, Center for Reproductive Medicine, Institute of Women, Children and Reproductive Health, Shandong University from October 2017 to April 2023. The patients were divided into experimental group (treated with Zishen Yutai Pill, n=279) and control group (treated without Zishen Yutai Pill, n=465) based on whether Zishen Yutai Pill was added to luteal support. The pregnancy outcomes between the two groups were compared. Based on the different endometrial preparation protocols in the FET cycles, the patients were used down-regulation protocol ( n=271) or non-down-regulation protocol ( n=473). The pregnancy outcomes of the two groups in each protocol were compared. Results:There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of biochemical pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, embryo implantation rate, early miscarriage rate, late miscarriage rate, and live birth rate (all P>0.05). However, the biochemical pregnancy rate [69.0% (58/84)], clinical pregnancy rate [59.5% (50/84)], and embryo implantation rate [59.4% (57/96)] in the experimental group of the down-regulated protocol were significantly higher than those in control group [56.1% (105/187), P=0.045; 46.5% (87/187), P=0.048; 44.9% (92/205), P=0.019], with statistically significant differences. In the non-down-regulated protocol, there were no statistically significant differences in pregnancy outcomes between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:In the FET down-regulated protocol, Zishen Yutai Pill can significantly improve the clinical pregnancy rate and the embryo implantation rate in patients with RIF, thereby improving pregnancy outcomes.

Objective To explore the pathological features of bronchiolar adenoma(BA)and its specific high-resolution computed tomography(HRCT)signs,and to differentiate BA from minimally invasive adenocarcinoma(MIA)using a non-invasive preoperative method.Methods A total of 80 patients with BA and 130 patients with MIA were retrospectively selected,and the clinical information and HRCT features were compared.All cases were divided into development set and test set at a 7︰3 ratio.Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent predictors of MIA and construct a model.Results There were significant differences in age,lobe distribution,density,vacuole sign,tumor-related vessels number(TVN),and distance to pleura(DTP)between BA and MIA patients(P<0.05).Age,density,TVN,DTP and long diameter were identified as independent predictors of MIA.A model was constructed,with area under the curve(AUC)of 0.887 and 0.884 in the development and test sets,respectively.Conclusion The model based on HRCT morphological features of BA and MIA demonstrates superior diagnostic performance compared to individual CT morphological features.
