Objective To study the effect of incorporating comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA)into the whole-process WeChat-based case health management in elderly population who took annual physical examinations,thereby to improve their ability in health self-management.Methods A randomised controlled trial was conducted to select 100 elderly people who took annual physical examinations in our hospital from July 2022 to June 2023.The elderly were randomly divided into a control group and an trial group,with 50 people per group.CGA was applied to both groups,but the control group was under conventional health management,while the trial group received the incorporation of CGA into a whole-process WeChat-based case health management.The self-rated abilities for health practices scale(SRAHP)was used to compare the scores between the two groups before intervention,at 3,6 and 12 months after intervention.The scores of fatigue,resistance,ambulation,illnesses&loss of weight scale(FRAIL)and the mini nutritional assessment-short form(MNA-SF)were compared between the two groups before intervention and at 12 months after intervention.Incidence of falls was also evaluated after intervention.Results All the participants completed the study.Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that total SRAHP scores had statistical significances in main effect on time,group and interaction(Ftime=193.451,P<0.001;Fgroup=23.661,P<0.001;Finteraction=29.970,P<0.001).Further analysis revealed that the elderly in trial group had higher total scores in SRAHP than those in the control group at 6 and 12 months after intervention(both P<0.001).At 12 months after intervention,the trial group showed better scores in FRAIL and MNA-SF than the control group(both P<0.05)as well as with a lower incidence of falls(P<0.05).Conclusion Incorporation of CGA into a comprehensive WeChat-based case health management,over a long-term,can effectively enhance the ability in health self-management among elderly individuals who take annual health examinations,improve frailty and nutritional status and reduce the incidence of falls.The health self-management discovered from this study provides a valuable reference for health management among the elderly people who take annual physical examinations.

Objective To investigate the expression of urocanase domain containing 1(UROC1)in Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and its effect on the development of HCC.Methods UROC1 expression and prognostic data in tumor and para-tumor tissues from protein mass spectrometry and TCGA database were analyzed.Immunohistochem-ical staining,real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR)and Western blot experiments were utilized to verify the expression of UROC1 in HCC.The effect of UROC1 expression level on tumor differentiation was ana-lyzed by HE staining to determine the tumor differentiation level.Hep3B and LM3 cell lines stably overexpressing UROC1 and its mutants were constructed for in vitro phenotyping experiments.Effects of UROC1 on HCC cell pro-liferation and migration were explored by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)assay,colony formation,EdU assay,scratch assay and Transwell assay.Results The results of database analysis showed that UROC1 was generally downregu-lated in HCC tissues,and patients in the UROC1 low-expression group had a worse prognosis.Immunohistochemi-cal staining and scoring,qPCR and Western blot experiments verified the low expression of UROC1 in HCC.Im-munohistochemical staining of tumor tissues with different differentiation levels demonstrated that the poorer the dif-ferentiation of HCC tissues,the lower the expression level of UROC1.CCK-8,colony formation and EdU assays suggested that overexpression of UROC1 inhibited the proliferation of HCC cells.The results of scratch and Tran-swell assays showed that overexpression of UROC1 inhibited the migration of HCC cells.However,the results of the above experimental phenotypes after active site mutation converged with those of the control group.Conclusion UROC1 is lowly expressed in HCC tissues,and overexpression of UROC1 in HCC cells may inhibit the ability of cell proliferation and migration.
