Objective To analyze the status quo of cognitive frailty (CF) in community elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its correlation with sleep quality, anxiety and depression. Methods Elderly patients with COPD receiving health management in the center were selected from July 2023 to June 2024. The general data of patients were collected and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Fried Frailty Phenotype (FP), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used for investigation, and the above scores were analyzed. All patients were divided into CF group (n=129) and non-CF group (n=319) according to MMSE score and FP score. Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were used to analyze the influencing factors of CF in elderly COPD patients. Results Pearson correlation analysis showed that MMSE score was significantly negatively correlated with PSQI score and HADS score in elderly COPD patients (P<0.05), and FP score was significantly positively correlated with PSQI score and HADS score (P<0.05). After logistic regression analysis, it was found that education level, marital status and sleep time were protective factors of CF in elderly COPD patients (P<0.05), and PSQI score and HADS score were risk factors of CF in elderly patients with COPD (P<0.05). Conclusion CF in community elderly COPD patients is related to sleep quality, sleep duration and anxiety and depression. It is necessary to take clinical measures to improve the sleep quality and psychological status, so as to avoid or slow down the occurrence of CF.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between aquaporin 1 (AQP1) level and vascular calcification in patients with diabetes nephropathy.Methods:A total of 125 diabetic nephropathy patients admitted to Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March 2020 to March 2023 were retrospectively selected as case group. The case group was divided into group A (diabetes nephropathy stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ) with 31 cases, group B (diabetes nephropathy stage Ⅲ) with 32 cases, group C (diabetes nephropathy stage Ⅳ) with 39 cases, and group D (diabetes nephropathy stage V) with 23 cases. In these patients, 51 cases had vascular calcification, taken as the calcification group, and 74 cases had no vascular calcification, taken as the non calcification group. Sixty volunteers who underwent health examinations in the same hospital were selected as the control group. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the predictive value of AQP1 on vascular calcification in diabetes nephropathy patients and to explore the related factors of vascular calcification in diabetes nephropathy patients.Results:Compared with the control group, AQP1 level and calcification rate in groups A, B, C and D were higher: 6.41 ± 1.04, 7.93 ± 1.23, 9.50 ± 1.52 and 11.37 ± 2.01 vs. 3.83 ± 0.56 ng/L, 6.45% (2/31), 28.13% (9/32), 51.28% (20/29) and 86.96% (20/23) vs. 0 ( P<0.05). Compared with group A, the level of AQP1 and calcification rate in groups B, C and D were higher ( P<0.05); compared with group B, the AQP1 level and calcification rate in groups C and D were higher ( P<0.05); compared with group C, the level of AQP1 and calcification rate in group D were higher ( P<0.05). Compared to the non calcification group, the levels of uric acid, homocysteine and cystatin C in calcification group were higher: (313.82 ± 38.72) μmol/L vs. (253.42 ± 30.14) μmol/L, (20.03 ± 3.01) μmol/L vs. (15.01 ± 2.71) μmol/L, (1.73 ± 0.26) mg/L vs. (1.30 ± 0.17) mg/L ( P<0.05). AQP1 was positively correlated with uric acid, homocysteine, and cystatin C ( P<0.05). The area under the curve of AQP1, uric acid, homocysteine and cystatin C in predicting vascular calcification in patients with diabetes nephropathy were 0.892, 0.803, 0.738 and 0.763, respectively. Taking whether vascular calcification occurs in patients with diabetes nephropathy as the dependent variable (no = 0, yes = 1), the variables of P<0.05 in the single factor analysis were selected for multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The results showed that uric acid, homocysteine, cystatin C and AQP1 were the main factors affecting vascular calcification in patients with diabetes nephropathy ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Serum AQP1 has a high predictive value for vascular calcification in diabetes nephropathy patients, and is expected to be used as a biomarker for early diagnosis of vascular calcification in diabetes nephropathy patients.

In this article the author discusses the construction of pharmacy quality management standards, its application and roles in COVID-19 epidemics, to provide reference for quality pharmacy management during public health emergencies in grass-roots medical and health institutions.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is an essential metabolic enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TAC). The high mutation frequency of the IDH gene plays a complicated role in gliomas. In addition to affecting gliomas directly, mutations in IDH can also alter their immune microenvironment and can change immune-cell function in direct and indirect ways. IDH mutations mediate immune-cell infiltration and function by modulating immune-checkpoint gene expression and chemokine secretion. In addition, IDH mutation-derived D2-hydroxyglutarate can be absorbed by surrounding immune cells, also affecting their functioning. In this review, we summarize current knowledge about the effects of IDH mutations as well as other gene mutations on the immune microenvironment of gliomas. We also describe recent preclinical and clinical data related to IDH-mutant inhibitors for the treatment of gliomas. Finally, we discuss different types of immunotherapy and the immunotherapeutic potential of IDH mutations in gliomas.

Objective:To gain insight into the mechanism responsible for clearance of natural hepa DNA virus infections.Methods:A group of seven 2～3 month old ducks were infected intravenously with 10～20 ml DHBV positive serum containing 5?10 7 genomes/ml.Following inoculation,ducks were bled at weekly intervals to obtain serum samples for analysis of DHBV DNA and DHBsAg and anti DHBV antibodies.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected at 10,35 days postinoculation(p.i) and used to conduct antigen specific blastogenesis assay.Liver samples were obtained at 5,30,60 days p.i for analysis of DHBV DNA and surface antigens and liver histology.Results:Infection of all 7 animals with approximately 5?10 8～1?10 9 DHBV genomes led to a transient viremia after an incubation period of 1 to 2 weeks.Liver samples contained multiple copies of all of the expected species of DHBV DNA replicative intermediates,including DHBV cccDNA during the peak of viremic phase.Further analysis showed that the absence of a prolonged viremia could be explained by immediate antigen specific blastogenesis and high titer of antibody response.Meanwhile,there was no obvious evidence of liver cell injury during transient DHBV infection.Conclusion:These results demonstrate that noncytopathic antiviral mechanisms make a role in hepa DNA virus clearance.
