Objective To evaluate the current situation of disease control in middle-aged and elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and analyze the relationship with disease cognition. Methods Among the 360 middle-aged and elderly COPD patients diagnosed and treated in our hospital from January 2022 to June 2024 were retrospectively selected as research subjects, and the COPD Assessment Test Questionnaire (CAT), COPD Patient Knowledge Questionnaire (BCKQ) and the hampion Health Belief Model Scale were used to evaluate disease control, disease cognition and health beliefs in COPD patients. The Pearson chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between disease control level and disease cognition and health beliefs in older patients with COPD. Results A total of 360 middle-aged and elderly COPD patients, 112 were in the complete control group, 189 were in the partial control group, and 59 were in the uncontrolled group, the disease control rate was 83.61%. The differences in disease cognitive scores, severity cognition, susceptibility cognition, disorder cognition, benefit cognition, health motivation, self-efficacy score and total health belief scores in middle-aged and elderly COPD patients with different disease control conditions are statistically significant. The scores of the complete control group were higher than those of partial control group and uncontrolled group, and the scores of partial control group were higher than those of the uncontrolled group (P <0.05). The disease control level of middle-aged and elderly patients with COPD is positively correlated with disease cognitive level and health belief in all dimensions. The higher the disease control level, the higher the disease cognitive level and health belief in the patient . Conclusions Middle-aged and elderly COPD patients still have insufficient awareness of the disease, and the level of disease control needs to be improved. There is a significant correlation between disease cognition, health beliefs and the level of disease control, and the improved cognitive level may help to improve the disease management and control effect. For middle-aged and elderly COPD patients, the community can provide health education courses, personalized health guidance and self-management training to enhance their awareness of diseases, so as to improve the long-term management of COPD and the quality of life of patients.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies have shown that research on naringin anti-osteoporosis mostly stays in in vitro and in vivo experiments.Understanding the mechanism of related signaling pathways and the expression of related proteins and some specific genes is an important way to deeply understand naringin anti-osteoporosis.At present,traditional Chinese medicine has been confirmed to have a significant role in anti-osteoporosis.Naringin is one of the main active ingredients in Rhizoma Drynariae.Its effectiveness and mechanism of action against osteoporosis have been gradually recognized by scholars,and its clinical and basic research has been gradually emphasized. OBJECTIVE:To analyze and summarize the research progress of naringin in anti-osteoporosis in vitro and in vivo,thereby providing some ideas for the next step to study its related mechanism of action. METHODS:The relevant literatures included in CNKI and PubMed database were searched with the Chinese search terms of"naringin,osteoporosis,traditional Chinese medicine compound,pathogenesis,signaling pathway,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,osteoblasts,osteoclasts"in Chinese and English,respectively.The corresponding criteria were established according to the research needs,and finally 69 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Naringin blocks the increase in the number of osteoclasts and adipocytes,the decrease in the number of osteocytes and osteocalcin(+)cells induced by fructose-rich diet,and promotes the secretion of Sema3A from osteoblasts and osteocytes,thereby enhancing local bone formation and inhibiting osteoclast production by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.Naringin is an important way to induce autophagy of osteoblasts,but autophagy-related proteins participate in osteoblast differentiation and bone formation.Lack of autophagy in osteoblasts reduces mineralization and leads to an imbalance in the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts,which results in bone loss and decreased bone density.The composite scaffold loaded with naringin can be used as a necessary carrier for bone defect repair and has excellent bone repair properties.Naringin can also accelerate the growth of new bone tissue by increasing the local contents of bone morphogenetic protein 2 and vascular endothelial growth factor.Naringin can regulate bone metabolism and inhibit oxidative stress via ERK,PI3K/Akt and Wnt signaling pathways to improve osteoporosis,which can play a good role in preventing and controlling the disease.However,the depth and breadth of the relevant research is insufficient.Based on the mechanism of the current study,we should investigate the specific mechanisms by which naringin regulates different pathways and inter-pathway interactions in the future,which will be beneficial to the multifaceted development of naringin used in the treatment of osteoporosis..

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemic characteristics of measles and rubella in Pudong New Area of Shanghai from 2013 to 2022, and to provide data support for the elimination of measles and rubella. MethodsEnzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect IgM antibodies in serum samples. The sequence of 630 nucleotides at the C-terminal of N gene of measles virus was amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and the phylogenic tree was constructed. ResultsA total of 1 529 suspected cases of measles were detected from 2013 to 2022, among which the positive rate of measles IgM antibody was 33.55% (513/1 529). The highest positive rate (20.73%) was from March to May , and the positive rate of rubella IgM antibody was 6.80% (104/1 529). The positive rate of both IgM was higher in males than that in females (P<0.05). The IgM against measles was mainly detected in 0‒ years old (63.16%, 96/152) and 20‒ years old (45.61%, 161/353). The IgM against rubella was mainly detected in 10‒20 years old (27.27%, 18/66). The IgM antibody could be detected more easily from 4 to 28 days after eruption, and the IgM antibody positive rate of measles/rubella from 2020 to 2022 was significantly lower than previous years (2013‒2019). There were 2 D8 genotype strains, and the rest were H1a gene subtypes. ConclusionThe positive rate of IgM antibodies against measles/rubella in Pudong New Area of Shanghai decreased significantly. People aged 0‒ years and 20‒ years old are more susceptible to measles, and rubella is concentrated in 10‒ years old. It is necessary to strengthen the vaccination of school-age children, in order to achieve the goal of eliminating measles. The age group with high risk of exposure should be checked for vaccination status to ensure the enhanced immunization, and the surveillance of imported measles cases should be strengthened.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different feeding formulas on the feeding and growth and metabolism of premature infants in the early postnatal period.Methods:Eligible premature infants with the gestational age of ≤ 34 weeks hospitalized from March 2023 to March 2024 were selected as per inclusion criteria, excluding those with congenital metabolic diseases, severe congenital heart disease and developmental malformations of digestive tract. According to the feeding formulas within 2 weeks after birth, premature infants were divided into three groups, namely donor human milk (DHM) group, preterm formula (PF) group and extensively hydrolyzed formula (eHF) group. The characteristics of premature infants, perinatal condition, feeding formulas, milk intake on the 7th and 14th day, the time to the daily milk intake of 120ml/kg and 150ml/kg respectively, the time on parenteral nutrition, the length of hospitalization, feeding intolerance, cholestasis, extrauterine growth retardation and biochemical metabolic indexes at 7 days, 14 days and discharge were collected. The differences of feeding and biochemical metabolic parameters were compared across the three groups.Results:A total of 108 cases were enrolled ,of whom 39 were in DHM group, 37 in PF group and 32 in eHF group. There was no significant difference in gestational age, birth weight, head circumference and maternal complications across the three groups. The milk intake in the DHM group was (50.7±29.1) ml/(kg·d) on the 7th day, compared with (34.2±27.3) ml/(kg·d) in PF group ( P=0.031), and (103.1±36.7) ml/(kg·d) on the 14th day, compared with (73.9±39.2) ml/(kg·d) in the PF group. Compared with the PF group, the DHM group reached the daily milk intake of 120 ml/(kg·d) earlier [(18.5±10.4) days vs. (24.1±10.3) days, P=0.020], had shorter duration of parenteral nutrition [(17.9±10.9) days vs. (23.2±11.2) days, P=0.042], and lower incidence of feeding intolerance (28.2% vs. 48.6%). The length of hospitalization in DHM group was shorter than that in PF group [(33.8±15.5) days vs. (37.8±17.6) days], but there was no significant difference ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the DHM group and the eHF group in terms of the milk intake on the 7th and 14th day, the time to the daily milk intake of 120 ml/(kg·d), the time on parenteral nutrition, the length of hospitalization and feeding intolerance. At 1 and 2 weeks after birth, alkaline phosphatase in DHM group was higher than that in PF group and eHF group ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in biochemical nutritional metabolism parameters (hemoglobin, urea nitrogen, albumin, prealbumin, alkaline phosphatase and total bile acid) across the three groups at discharge( P>0.05). Conclusion:Early use of DHM in premature infants is better tolerated than PF and can help achieve complete enteral nutrition earlier and shorten the use of parenteral nutrition, while not affecting the growth and development of premature infants.
