ObjectiveTo develop a community-family management model for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and to formulate detailed application specifications, and to fully leverage the initiative of communities and families under limited resource conditions, for achieving community-based early detection and early intervention for older adults with MCI. MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted to identify pertinent publications. Corpus-based research methodologies were employed to extract, refine, integrate and synthesize management elements, thereby establishing the specific content and service processes for each stage of the management model. Utilizing the 5W2H analytical framework, essential elements such as management stakeholders, target populations, content and methods for each stage were delineated. The model and its application guidelines were finalized through expert consultation and demonstration. ResultsAn expert evaluation of the management model yielded mean scores of 4.84, 4.32 and 4.84 for acceptability, feasibility and systematicity, respectively. By integrating the identified core elements with expert ratings and feedback, the final iteration of the community-family management model for older adults with MCI was formulated. This model comprised of five stages: screening and identification, comprehensive assessment, intervention planning, monitoring and referral pathways to ensure implementation, and enhanced support for communities, family members and caregivers. Additionally, it included 18 specific application guidelines. ConclusionThe proposed management model may theoretically help delay cognitive decline, improve cognitive function and potentially promote reversal from MCI to normal cognition. It may also enhance the awareness and coping capacity of older adults and their families, strengthen community healthcare professionals' ability to early identify and manage MCI.

ObjectiveTo develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the risk of concurrent cognitive impairment in older adults with heart disease. MethodsSelf-reported data from 2 673 respondents in the 2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study were analyzed. The participants were randomly divided into a training set (n = 1 871) and a validation set (n = 802). Heart disease status was determined using a self-report questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors, and a nomogram for predicting the risk of concurrent cognitive impairment in older adults with heart disease was developed using R software. Bootstrap resampling was used for internal validation, and model performance was further evaluated in the randomly split validation set. The predictive performance of the model was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and calibration curves.. ResultsA total of 2 673 older adults with heart disease were included, out of whom 315 participants in the training set had cognitive impairment. Lasso regression analysis identified age, education level, place of residence, instrumental activities of daily living and depression as predictors of concurrent cognitive impairment. A prediction model incorporating these five variables was constructed. The AUC were 0.827 (95%CI 0.804 to 0.850) in the training set and 0.847 (95%CI 0.812 to 0.882) in the validation set. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test yielded P = 0.154 and P = 0.716 in the training and validation sets, respectively. Calibration curves showed good agreement between predicted and observed probabilities. Decision curve analysis indicated that the model provided favorable net benefit and predictive performance. ConclusionThe nomogram may provide a useful reference for risk screening and early intervention for cognitive impairment in older adults with heart disease.

Objective:To explore the survival and prognostic factors of a long-course venetoclax-based(VEN-based)regimen in patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia(AML)and provide evidence for the maintenance treatment of AML.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted in patients who received a VEN-based regimen and completed at least four courses of efficacy evaluation at The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from May 2021 to January 2024.The composite complete response rate(cCR),minimal residual disease(MRD)-negative rate,overall survival(OS)time,relapse-free survival(RFS)time,and adverse events were analyzed.Results:Overall,30 newly diagnosed patients with AML were enrolled in this study.The median age was 65(range,53-78)years,and the median number of treat-ment cycles was 7(range,4-20)years.After one cycle,the CR-and MRD-negative rates were 80.0%and 63.3%,respectively.The cumulative cCR was 96.7%,and MRD negative rate was 80.0%,respectively.The median follow-up time was 21.3(95%confidence intervals 14.7-27.9)months.The median OS time was 32.3 months and RFS time was not reached.The 2-year OS and RFS rates were 70.6%and 54.8%,respect-ively.Univariate analysis suggested that ELN2017 risk stratification and relapse status affected RFS and OS(P<0.05).However,the multivari-ate analysis failed to reveal any relationship between these factors and survival(P>0.05).In terms of safety,hematological adverse events were the most common,followed by infections.Overall,the VEN-based regimen was tolerated for patients with AML.Conclusions:A long-course VEN-based regimen is effective and safe.More than half of patients survive for>2 years,and it can be used as an effective mainten-ance treatment option for patients with AML.

Objective:To explore the clinical and biochemical characteristics of patients with hyperuricemia according to different pathophysiological subtypes. This may facilitate rapid identification of each subtype in clinical settings and provide evidence for personalized urate-lowering treatment.Methods:Patients diagnosed with hyperuricemia at the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Tenth People′s Hospital of Tongji University between October 2015 and January 2024 were included. Based on 24-h urinary uric acid excretion(UUE) and the fractional excretion of uric acid(FEUA), patients were classified into four subtypes: renal uric acid underexcretion type(RUE), renal uric acid overload type(ROL), combined type and renal normal type. Clinical and biochemical variables-including sex, age, BMI, smoking history, comorbidities, blood glucose, and serum uric acid-were analyzed. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with each subtype.Results:Among 2 073 patients with hyperuricemia, 55.8% were RUE type, 6.9% were ROL type, 31.3% were combined type and 6.0% were renal normal type. RUE type had lower blood glucose levels and fewer cases of diabetes [ OR=0.685(95% CI 0.478-0.980), P<0.05]. ROL type showed a higher incidence of tophi, positively correlated with smoking history [ OR=1.672(95% CI 1.009-2.771), P<0.05], and negatively correlated with serum uric acid levels [ OR=0.994(95% CI 0.990-0.998), P=0.001]. Combined type had the youngest onset age, shortest disease duration, and the fewest comorbidities, and was associated with higher BMI [ OR=1.035(95% CI 1.001-1.070), P<0.05]. Renal normal type had the oldest age of onset, the highest proportion of female patients and comorbidities, and was associated with lower serum uric acid levels[ OR=0.994(95% CI 0.989-0.998), P=0.007], higher BMI[ OR=1.064(95% CI 1.003-1.129), P<0.05], and increased tophi incidence[ OR=2.261(95% CI 1.206-4.237), P=0.011]. Conclusion:Each pathophysiological subtype of hyperuricemia exhibits distinct clinical and biochemical characteristics, which may serve as useful references for subtype identification and personalized management in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of Jianyang Tablets(mainly with the functions of tonifying the kidneys,replenishing essence,invigorating yang,and alleviating erectile dysfunction)on erectile dysfunction(ED)in rats with liver depression and kidney deficiency syndrome.Methods The 60 male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group,a model group,a Tadalafil group,and low-,medium-,and high-dose Jianyang Tablets groups.Except for the normal group,all other groups underwent a 14-day composite modeling protocol combining intramuscular hydrocortisone injections and limb immobilization to induce ED with liver depression and kidney deficiency syndrome.Treatments were administered for 28 consecutive days after successful modeling.The body mass differences were recorded and compared before and after the experiment.Behavioral assessments included open-field test and mounting test were conducted.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to measure nitric oxide synthase(NOS),cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP),and cyclic guanosine monophosphate(cGMP)levels in penile cavernous tissues.Nitric oxide(NO)level was quantified using the Griess reagent colorimetric method.Results Compared with the normal group,the model group exhibited reduced horizontal activity grid counts in the open-field test,prolonged mounting latency,decreased mounting frequency,decreased body mass,and reduced levels of NOS,NO,cGMP,and cAMP in penile cavernous tissues,with statistical significance(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the Tadalafil group and medium-and high-dose Jianyang Tablets groups showed increased horizontal activity grid counts and vertical activity counts in the open-field test,shortened mounting latency,elevated mounting frequency,increased body mass,and upregulated levels of NOS,NO,cGMP,and cAMP in penile cavernous tissues,with statistical significance(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).No significant differences were observed among the intervention groups for the aforementioned indices(P＞0.05).Conclusion Jianyang Tablets effectively improves erectile function in rats with liver depression and kidney deficiency syndrome,potentially mediated by modulation of the NO-cGMP signaling pathway.

Objective To develop a toolkit suitable for assisting community health institutions in the early identification and inter-vention of mild cognitive impairment(MCI)among older adults.Methods A literature review was conducted to construct a draft of the identification and intervention toolkit.Tools with an expert approval rate above 70%were included after expert consultation.The final version of the toolkit was developed by integrating these tools with officially recommended tools in China.Results The expert consultation yielded an authority coefficient of 0.84.The finalized toolkit included the assessment tools of Mini-Mental State Examination,Montreal Cognitive Assessment,General Practitioner Assessment of Cognition,Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument and Clock Drawing Test,and 18 intervention measures in-cluding pharmacological treatment,cognitive training and psychological interventions,etc.Conclusion The MCI Identification-Intervention Toolkit may serve as a reference for guiding the identification and inter-vention of MCI among older adults for community health institutions.
