Objective To analyze the disability level and long-term care needs assessment policies issued by 49 pilot cities in China's long-term care insurance system,providing insights for further improvement of the system.Methods Policy documents related to long-term care insurance,published between June 2016 and December 2024 on official platforms of local governments,the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security,the National Healthcare Security Administration,and the National Public Service Platform for Standards Information,were retrieved.A comparative analysis was used to summarize and compare the content of these policy texts.Results Currently,there are 49 pilot cities implementing the long-term care insurance system in China.47 cities have issued disability level assessment standards,with 38 cities adopting the trial standards issued by the National Healthcare Security Administration.In 42 pilot cities,the disability level assessment includes indicators such as activities of daily living,cognitive function,and sensory and communication abilities.22 cities have issued policies related to care needs assessment.In most cities,the care needs assessment partially or fully includes indicators from the disability level assessment.Conclusion There is no national uniformity in disability level assessment standards,and the care needs assessment framework needs further improvement.It is recommended to standardize disability level assessment criteria,clearly delineate the boundaries and content of disability level and care needs assessments,and enhance the development of the care needs assessment system.

Objective:To investigate effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes(hUCMSCs-Exo)on bisphenol AF(BPAF)-induced oxidative damage and inflammatory factor release from endometrial stromal cells(hESCs).Methods:hESCs were divided into Control group,BPAF group(25 μmol/L BPAF treatment),BPAF+Exo group(25 μmol/L BPAF+hUCMSCs-Exo treatment),BPAF+Exo+LY group(25 μmol/L BPAF+hUCMSCs-Exo+10 μmol/L LY294002 treatment).Cell prolifera-tion was detected by MTT assay;apoptosis,intracellular ROS level,and mitochondrial membrane potential level were detected by flow cytometry;protein expressions of Bcl-2,Bax,Cleaved-caspase-3 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were detected by Western blot;mRNA expressions of inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β were detected by RT-qPCR.Results:Compared with Control group,hESCs survival rate was gradually decreased(P<0.01),apoptosis rate was gradually increased with the increased concentration of BPAF(≥25 μmol/L).Compared with Control group,BPAF group showed increased ROS level,decreased mitochondrial membrane potential level,increased Bax and Cleaved-caspase-3 protein expressions,and decreased Bcl-2,p-PI3K and p-AKT protein expressions.Compared with BPAF group,cell survival rate of BPAF+Exo group was increased(P<0.01),ROS level decreased,mitochondrial membrane potential level increased,expressions of Bax and Cleaved-caspase-3 proteins decreased,and expressions of Bcl-2,p-PI3K and p-AKT increased.Compared with BPAF+Exo group,expressions of Bax and Cleaved-caspase-3 protein in cells of BPAF+Exo+LY group were increased,while expressions of Bcl-2,p-PI3K and p-AKT protein were decreased.Expressions of inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA were significantly up-regulated in BPAF group compared with Control group(P<0.01),and expressions of inflammatory factors mRNA were significantly down-regulated in BPAF+Exo group compared with BPAF group(P<0.05).Conclu-sion:BPAF(≥25 μmol/L)inhibits proliferation of hESCs and promoted apoptosis.hUCMSCs-Exo inhibits BPAF-induced oxidative dam-age and inflammatory factors expressions in hESCs through PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the expression changes of serum long non-coding RNA rhabdomyosarcoma associated transcript-2 (LncRNA RMST) and miR-582-5p in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS),and their correlation with early neurological deterioration (END) and prognosis. Methods A total of 129 patients with ischemic stroke admitted to Chengde Central Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were gathered,according to diagnostic criteria and patients were divided into END group (n=42) and non END group (n=87) besed on whether END occurred within one week. In addition,59 healthy individuals who underwent physical examination in the hospital were regarded as the health group. The real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction method was applied to detect serum LncRNA RMST and miR-582-5p levels in each group. The Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between serum LncRNA RMST and miR-582-5p levels in END patients. ROC curve was applied to evaluate further the levels of blood LncRNA RMST and miR-582-5p,and the efficacy analysis of their combination in predicting the prognosis of AIS patients. Results Serum LncRNA RMST(1.01±0.28,2.10±0.41,3.99±0.52) levels gradually increased in the healthy,non-END and END groups,and miR-582-5p(1.02±0.23,0.86±0.16,0.73±0.15) levels gradually decreased,and the differences were statistically significant (F=672.974,31.907,all P<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between serum LncRNA RMST levels were significantly negatively correlated with miR-582-5p levels (r=-0.451,P<0.001). The AUC(95％CI) of the combined diagnosis of serum LncRNA RMST and miR-582-5p levels in AIS patients was 0.961(0.912～0.987),which was better than the independent prediction (Z=2.280,4.515,all P<0.05). Conclusion The levels of serum LncRNA RMST and miR-582-5p were closely related to END,and they are expected to become predictive factors for the prognosis of AIS patients.

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing, this paper systematically elaborates the development of geriatric nursing as a core discipline in addressing the challenges of aging, from its inception and systematization to innovative development, and analyzes its challenges and prospects. Against the backdrop of China's large aging population and accelerating aging trend, geriatric nursing aims to meet the multi-level health needs of older adults. It has gradually expanded from early focus on disease-centered care to holistic health maintenance, functional promotion, and quality of life improvement for older adults, with the discipline's scope and depth continuously evolving. The discipline development can be divided into three stages: the foundation stage, defined by the initiation of national policies and the establishment of educational systems and teaching materials; the system-building stage, characterized by clearer disciplinary positioning, refined curriculum system, diversified clinical practices, and a robust talent development mechanism; and the innovative development stage, when, driven by policies, technology, and interdisciplinary collaboration, high quality and diversification are emerging. However, geriatric nursing still faces challenges such as insufficient coordination in top-level design, an incomplete theoretical framework, an imbalance between supply and demand for services, and uneven distribution of educational resources. In the future, through policy system optimization, smart health and wellness technology, multidisciplinary integration, education system reform, and deepening scientific research and international cooperation, a modern geriatric nursing discipline system with Chinese characteristics will be established to support healthy aging and the healthy China strategy.

Objective To explore the relationship between CT quantitative left heart structure parameters and recurrence after hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM)and atrial fibrillation(AF)radiofrequency ablation(RFCA).Methods A total of 120 patients with HCM and AF admitted to our hospital from April 2021 to June 2023 were selected.Patients were divided into the relapse group and the non-recurrence group according to whether RFCA recurred 6 months after operation.All patients underwent CT examination,and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left atrial ejection fraction(LAEF),left atrial volume index(LAVI)and left atrial auricular volume of the two groups were analyzed.The clinical data of patients were collected.Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative recurrence of RFCA in HCM patients with AF.Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of left heart structure parameters for postoperative recurrence of RFCA in HCM patients with AF.Results The volume levels of LAVI and left auricle were higher in the relapsed group than those in the non-relapsed group,and the level of LAEF was lower than those in the non-relapsed group(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that persistent atrial fibrillation,LAVI and high left atrial appendage volume were independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence in HCM patients with AF(P＜0.05),and high LAEF was protective factor(P＜0.05).The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC value of LAVI,LAEF and left atrial appendage volume in predicting recurrence after RFCA in patients with HCM and AF was 0.902,which was higher than that of 0.789,0.755 and 0.675 of each individual test.The combined prediction efficiency of the three tests was higher than that of each single test(Z=2.177,2.555 and 3.628,P＜0.05).Conclusion High level of LAVI and left atrial appendage volume and low level of LAEF are risk factors for postoperative recurrence of RFCA.The combined detection of the three methods has high predictive value for postoperative recurrence of RFCA in HCM patients with AF.
