Objective:To assess the levels and abnormal rates of trace elements and vitamins among older patients in Beijing Hospital, and to analyze the correlations between these measured indicators.Methods:This study selected 49 older individuals who underwent physical examinations at Beijing Hospital between May 2021 and March 2024.The participants were divided into two age groups: 60-79 years old(23 cases)and 80-100 years old(26 cases). Levels' differences of trace elements and vitamins between the two age groups were analyzed.Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlations among the tested indicators, and multivariate analysis was conducted using a generalized linear regression model.Results:Among the 49 older individuals, the overall abnormal rate for trace element test results was 8.16%(4 cases), with 2 cases of iron(Fe)deficiency(4.08%)and 2 cases of calcium(Ca)deficiency(4.08%). The overall abnormal rate for vitamin test results was 24.49%(12 cases), which included 5 cases of vitamin B2 deficiency(10.20%), 1 case of vitamin C deficiency(2.04%), and 6 cases of vitamin D deficiency(12.24%). Statistically significant differences were observed between the two age groups in zinc(Zn)and vitamin C levels( t=2.84, 2.83; P=0.007, 0.007). Pearson correlation analysis revealed correlations among 19 pairs of indicators.The top five correlations were between plumbum(Pb)and cadmium(Cd)( r=0.769, P<0.001), Fe and manganese(Mn)( r=0.685, P<0.001), Ca and magnesium(Mg)( r=0.677, P<0.001), vitamin B12 and vitamin C( r=0.455, P=0.001), and vitamin B9 and vitamin D( r=0.422, P=0.003), respectively.The results of the multivariate analysis indicated that, after adjusting for the effects of age group and gender, statistical differences in correlations remained among the remaining trace elements and vitamins, except for those between vitamin B1 and vitamin B12, vitamin B1 and vitamin C, and vitamin A and vitamin D (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The deficiency rates of trace elements and vitamins remain notably high among older patients in our hospital, underscoring the necessity for enhanced nutritional supplementation and regular monitoring of trace element and vitamin levels within this population.Furthermore, a correlation exists between trace elements and vitamins, which offers valuable insights for the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases.

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a genetically heterogeneous group of connective tissue diseases that are commonly characterized by chronic joint synovial inflammation with unknown etiology in childhood.It is cu-rrently incurable and the main therapeutic goal is to achieve clinical remission.The drugs currently used to treat JIA mainly include non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, glucocorticoid, disease modifying antirheumatic drugs, and biological agents.In this article, recent advances in the understanding of JIA treatment and related clinical research were reviewed, in an attempt to provide prospects for the future direction of drug development and treatment concepts.

Objective:To translate the English version of Sexual Interest and Desire Inventory-Female (SIDI-F) into Chinese, evaluate its reliability, validity and the proper cut-off point of diagnosis of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in China.Methods:Chinese version of SIDI-F was developed and 96 healthy women from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 in Taihe Hospital, Shiyan City, Hubei Province were selected to fill in the Chinese version of SIDI-F and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Next, analyzed the reliability, validity and the cut-off point of diagnosis of HSDD of the SIDI-F.Results:The Cronbach coefficient of the Chinese version of SIDI-F was 0.931, split-half reliability was 0.922, the intra-group correlation coefficient was 0.805. Analysis of content validity of the SIDI-F indicated that the average of scale-level content validity index was 1.00, the item-level content validity index was 1.00, and the Pearson correlation coefficient between the score of SIDI-F and the erotica score of the FSFI (FSFI-D) was 0.802. Factor analysis of the Chinese version of SIDI-F showed good construct validity. The area under ROC was 0.835. With the SIDI-F score and the best cut-off point of 26.5, Youden index was the largest, at 0.635. The validity indicators were 76.7% for sensitivity, 86.8% for specificity, 5.95 for positive likelihood ratio.Conclusions:The Chinese version of SIDI-F has high reliability and validity in Chinese population, and these show 26.5 point can be used as the best cut-off value of diagnose HSDD.

Optimization efforts were devoted to discover novel PDE10A inhibitors in order to improve solubility and pharmacokinetics properties for a long-term therapy against pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) starting from the previously synthesized inhibitor

With an increasing proportion of sedentary lifestyle related chronic diseases, an efficient way to help fight the growing world epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and promote public health in a fast-changing world is urgently needed. Exercise and medicine science have played an important role in prevention and control of NCDs. However, the current status and future development directions regarding the integration of exercise science and medicine (IESM) in China have not been well discussed. During 2017 Belt and Road Initiative Global Health International Congress & 2017 Chinese Preventive Medicine Association-Chinese Society on Global Health Annual Meeting, Xi'an Jiaotong University Global Health Institute, and the Integration of Sport and Medicine Innovation Research Center, China Institute of Sport Science organized the IESM Forum on September 27. Six leaders and experts from China and abroad presented excellent research reports in the IESM Forum from several aspects. Experts reached a consensus at the end of their discussions that, in the near future, the IESM will be a key part of a sustainable health care system and as such should contribute to prosperity in China and around the world. However, Abstract compared with European, American and Japanese universities, the development of the IESM in China is in its early stages with huge development potential.
