Objective: To explore the results of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) among convalescent elderly population, so as to provide the basis for strengthening the health management service level for convalescent elderly population. Methods: A total of 200 elderly people who convalesced at Hangzhou Wuyunshan Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the research subjects. The basic information, physical condition, psychological status, functional status, and social environment of the elderly were investigated using the CGA protocol. The basic characteristics of the elderly, physical conditions such as medication adherence, pain, malnutrition and frailty, psychological conditions such as cognitive function, anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms, functional conditions such as fall risk and social support level and social environment assessment results were analyzed. Results: Among the 200 elderly individuals, 58.00% were male, 44.50% were aged 70 to <80 years, 58.00% had an education level of high school or above, 55.00% were unmarried, 61.50% were childless, and 60.50% had basic medical insurance for employees. In terms of physical condition, 59.00% had comorbid chronic diseases, 40.50% used multiple medications, and the incidences of poor medication adherence, pain, malnutrition, and frailty were 22.50%, 10.00%, 54.00%, and 36.00%, respectively. Regarding psychological status, the incidences of impaired cognitive function, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms were 57.00%, 89.50%, and 91.00%, respectively. In terms of functional status and social environment, 90.00% had a risk of falling, and 31.00% had a high level of social support. Univariable analysis showed that elderly individuals aged ≥80 years and those with an education level of primary school or below had higher incidences of poor medication adherence during convalescence; elderly individuals with poor medication adherence had a higher incidence of pain; and elderly individuals with impaired cognitive function, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms had higher incidences of malnutrition (all P<0.05). Conclusions The physical condition and psychological status of convalescent elderly individuals are relatively poor, with a high risk of falling and insufficient levels of social support. Poor medication adherence is associated with advanced age and lower education levels, while malnutrition is associated with impaired cognitive function, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms. Comprehensive health management for convalescent elderly population should be strengthened, and personalized health management services should be provided to improve their quality of life and sense of well-being.

Against the backdrop of the accelerating global aging process, enhancing the health of the elderly and improving their quality of life through health promotion efforts has become an urgent social issue. The construction and practical innovation of the elderly health promotion system have become a focal point of public health. This article reviews relevant policies and practical experiences in health promotion for the elderly both domestically and internationally by searching for literature published from January 2000 to January 2025. By comparing and analyzing the practical differences between developed countries/regions and China, it proposed suggestions for building a cross-departmental collaborative service system, innovating health literacy improvement models, implementing mental health promotion projects, and launching nursing talent training programs. These suggestions aim to provide references for improving health promotion work for the elderly in China.

Objective To analyse the prognosis and risk factors of lung cancer with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in Tongchuan City, and to provide a theoretical basis for improving the prognosis of patients with lung cancer complicated with AECOPD. Methods A total of 280 patients with lung cancer combined with AECOPD admitted to Tongchuan People's Hospital from January 2021 to August 2022 were selected and divided into survival group and death group according to whether the patients survived during hospitalization. Serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1) and other tumor markers were compared between the two groups. Lung function was measured by lung function instruments, and the levels of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC and other lung function indicators were compared between the two groups. The patients' clinical data were collected from the medical record system, and univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with lung cancer complicated with AECOP. Results The values of FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC in the death group were significantly lower than those in the survival group (P<0.05). Serum CEA and CYFRA 21-1 levels in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group (P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that albumin level <35 g/L (OR=2.728), TNM stage III to IV (OR=2.416), multidrug-resistant bacterial infection (OR=2.982), and GOLD grade III to IV (OR=3.417) were independent risk factors for death in patients with lung cancer complicated with AECOPD in Tongchuan City (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with lung cancer complicated with AECOPD in Tongchuan City have a high risk of death during hospitalization, especially patients with TNM stage III to IV and GOLD grade III to IV. Multi-drug resistant bacteria infection should be actively controlled to improve the albumin level of patients, which is conducive to the prognosis of patients.

Objective: To investigate the association of parental knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control with healthy eye behavior in primary school children, so as to provide a basis for accurate family education. Methods: A total of 4 979 students in grades 1-5 from eight elementary schools in Pudong New Area were sampled between October and December in 2022 by using a stratified cluster sampling method. A self administered questionnaire was used to assess healthy eye behavior in primary school children and parental knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control. The Chi squared test, independent samples t-test and Logistic regression were used to analyse the association between parental knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control and healthy eye behaviour in primary school children. Results: Parents of primary school children with a high level of knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control were 50.97% and 56.36%, respectively. The knowlegde entry scores for parents of lower and middle elementary school students were higher than those of parents of upper primary students with respect to their understanding, on the main causes of myopia in their children, the correct knowledge of myopia prevention and control, the role of family members in helping each other to manage and treat myopia in their children and the parents responsibility to teach their children to use their eyes correctly and scientifically (3.05±1.21, 2.97±1.20; 5.92±0.68, 5.83±0.86; 4.46±0.88, 4.40±0.93; 3.88±1.04, 3.72±1.07); all differences were statistically significant (t=2.04, 3.39, 2.00, 4.87, P<0.05). The differences in the scores of parents of primary school children in different grades for all items were statistically significant (t=2.93-7.31, P<0.05) in the skill entries. Parental knowledge levels were poor for items of full scores that assessed the following: knowing the main causes of their childrens myopia, awareness of the correct knowledge of myopia prevention and control measures, awareness of Comprehensive Prevention and Control Strategy for Children and Adolescents with Myopia, and concerning that their childrens future education and employment will be affected by myopia, understanding the responsibility of parents for guiding children to use their eyes scientifically and correctly, with 12.71%, 22.90%, 19.30%, 21.83% and 22.47% respectively. Parental skills were poor for items of full scores that assessed the following:reminding their children to rest their eyes when doing homework, reading or writing, deliberately avoiding mobile phone use when spending time with their children, the number of times which taking children to the hospital for refractive screening in the past year, and giving their children extra learning tasks, with 33.26%, 15.12%, 9.00% and 5.36% respectively. Compared to parental knowledge in myopia prevention and control, parental skills had a more pronounced effect on the four dimensions of healthy eye behavior (reading and writing, screen time, outdoor activities, and sleep duration) among students in different grades (OR=1.41-3.37, P<0.05). Conclusions Parental knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control are still insafficient, associated with healthy eye behavior in primary school children. There is a need to strengthen accurate health education for parents on the prevention and control of myopia, to cultivate healthy eye behaviour among primary school students and reduce the incidence of myopia among them.

Objective To analyze the pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis(PDAP),and provide a clinical reference for the rational use of antibiotics.Methods The demographic data of PDAP patients admitted to the peritoneal dialysis(PD)Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from July 1,2015 to December 30,2021 were collected,and the pathogens,drug resistance and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results A total of 150 episodes of PDAP occurred in 92 patients.The positive rate of PD fluid culture was 61.33％,including 65 cases(70.65％)of Gram-positive(G+)bacteria,mainly Staphylococcus and Streptococcus.Gram-negative(G-)bacteria were in 16 cases(17.39％),mainly Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae.There were 11 cases(11.96％)of multiple infections,including 5 cases of combined fungal infection.From 2016 to 2021,the incidence of G+bacteria-related PDAP decreased from 14 to 8 cases.G+strains were resistant to methicillin(35.00％),and were sensitive to linezolid(100.00％),teicoplanin(100.00％)and rifampicin(100.00％).The sensitivity rate to vancomycin was 98.59％.G-strains were sensitive to ceftazidime(86.36％),ceftizoxime(88.89％)and amikacin(100.00％).The MIC of vancomycin against Staphylococcus showed an upward trend in 2019-2021.The overall cure rate of PDAP was 81.33％in patients who responded to antibiotic treatment,and the cure rate of G+bacteria was higher than that of multiple infections(89.23％vs.36.36％,P＜0.01).The outcome of patients with multiple infections,especially those with concurrent fungal infection was poor.Conclusion The incidence of PDAP in the PD center has shown a decreasing trend in recent years.G+bacteria are still the main pathogenic bacteria causing PDAP,and they are highly resistant to methicillin,so vancomycin should be used as empirical therapy.For G-bacteria,cefotaxime and amikacin can be chosen as empirical therapy.There is a drift in the MIC values of vancomycin against Staphylococcus in the study period,so it is necessary to monitor the MIC of vancomycin against Staphylococcus and its changing trend.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Qingxuan Zhike granules in improving cough symptoms and shortening the course of influenza (wind-heat invading lung) in children.Methods:In this multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial, a total of 240 outpatient influenza patients from 7 hospitals, including the First Affiliated Hospital of Yunnan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, from April 2023 to December 2023 were collected.The subjects were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group via SAS software using the block randomization method.The differences between two groups were compared with t test, corrected t test and χ2 test.Subjects in the control group were given Oseltamivir phosphate granules, orally, twice a day (weight ≤15 kg, 30 mg/time; weight >15-23 kg, 45 mg/time; weight >23-40 kg, 60 mg/time; weight >40 kg, 75 mg/time; age≥13 years, 75 mg/time).In addition to Oseltamivir phosphate granules, subjects in the experimental group were also given Qingxuan Zhike granules, orally, 3 times a day (1-3 years old, 1/2 bag each time; >3-6 years old, 3/4 bag each time; >6-14 years old, 1 bag each time).After 5 days of treatment, the medication was suspended for 2 days.The effect of cough, antipyretic effect, clinical recovery rate, clinical recovery time, Canadian Acute Respiratory Illness and Flu Scale (CARIFS) score, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome effect, complication rate, and adverse reactions were evaluated between the two groups. Results:Finally, 232 cases were included in the study, including 115 cases in the experimental group and 117 cases in the control group.Before and after treatment, there were no significant difference in CARIFS cough score between the experimental group and the control group (all P>0.05).After treatment, the change in CARIFS cough score in the experimental group [(-1.00±0.91) scores]was significantly higher than that in the control group [(-0.75±0.98) scores] ( t=-1.995, P=0.047).After treatment, the change in TCM syndrome cough score in the experimental group [(-1.69±1.51) scores] was significantly higher than that in the control group [(-0.97±1.63) scores] ( t′=-0.035, P=0.001).The time of complete regression of fever in the experimental group [(44.82±22.72) h] was shorter than that in the control group [(51.35±27.07) h], and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=-1.966, P=0.050).The fever score showed that the area under the curve between the CARIFS symptom fever score and time in the experimental group was 4.40±2.42, while that in the control group was 5.12±2.44, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=-2.252, P=0.025).The clinical recovery rate was 93.91%(108/115) in the experimental group and 92.31%(108/117) in the control group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.233, P>0.05).The clinical recovery time in the experimental group [(2.93±1.21) d] was shorter than that in the control group [(3.29±1.15) d], and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=-2.279, P=0.024).After treatment, there was a significant difference in TCM syndrome score variation between the experimental group [(-12.00±4.13) scores] and the control group [(-10.85±4.31) scores] ( t′=-2.067, P=0.040).No complication occurred in both groups, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups ( χ2=1.299, P>0.05). Conclusions:Qingxuan Zhike granules combined with Oseltamivir phosphate can effectively improve the cough symptoms associated with influenza in children, shorten the time and course of fever, and improve the TCM syndrome score; thus, they are safe in clinical application.

Objective:To construct the liver organoid infected with hepatitis D virus (HDV), and to investigate the role of the sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) receptor inhibitor bulevirtide in inhibiting viral replication.Methods:Hepatocyte-like cells (HLC) differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) were seeded onto inverted colloidal crystal polyethylene glycol scaffolds (ICC) to construct liver organoids. After transfecting human hepatocelluar carcinoma cells (HuH7 cells) with plasmids, HDV particles were harvested from the supernatant, while HBV particles were extracted from the HepG2.2.15 cell supernatant. The liver organoids were infected with both HBV and HDV particles, and the negative control group without HDV infection was set up. The microstructure of the liver organoid units and the expression of hepatitis D antigen (HDAg) and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) were observed under laser scanning confocal microscope by immunofluorescence method. The protein levels of NTCP and HDAg in the liver organoids were detected by Western blotting. Bulevirtide was added before HDV infection (bulevirtide pre group) and 24 hours after infection (bulevirtide post group), and interferon-alpha (IFN-α) was also added after 24 hours infection (IFN-α group), and a control group without drug treatment was set up. HDV replication was compared among the four groups after drug intervention. Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to measure the relative mRNA expression levels of Nanog homeobox (NANOG), sex determining region Y-box (SOX)2, SOX17, forkhead box protein A2 (FOXA2), hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF-4α), albumin (ALB), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), NTCP during the differentiation of iPSC, and the mRNA expression of HDV after the drug intervention of the four groups. Statistical analysis was performed using two independent sample t tests. Results:Within 21 days of the differentiation of iPSC into HLC, the mRNA expression level of NANOG gradually decreased, while the expression levels of SOX17, FOXA2 initially increased then decreased, and the expression levels of the HNF-4α, ALB, AFP and NTCP progressively increased. The protein level of NTCP in iPSC (0.118±0.003) was lower than that in HLC (1.315±0.073), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=11.92, P<0.001).The protein level of HDAg in the liver organoids after HDV infection was higher than that in the negative control group without HDV infection (1.284±0.128 vs 0.157±0.040), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=23.27, P<0.001).Laser scanning confocal microscopy showed three-dimensional spheroid structures and high expressions of HDAg and HBsAg at the 14th day of infection.Compared with the control group (1.000±0.077), the HDV mRNA expressions in both IFN-α group (0.453±0.028) and bulevirtide pre group (0.136±0.012) decreased after three days of drug intervention. The differences were statistically significant ( t=19.95 and 33.15, respectively, both P<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in HDV mRNA expressions between the bulevirtide post group (0.968±0.069) and the control group ( t=0.94, P>0.05). Conclusions:The liver organoids constructed from iPSC-derived HLC and ICC can simulate human liver functions and successfully be infected by HDV particles. Early blockade with bulevirtide can effectively reduce the level of viral replication in the HDV-infected liver organoids.

Objective:To construct an estimating equation to accurately reflect the aging phenomenon of the glomerular filtration rate(GFR).Methods:Healthy subjects receiving physical examinations at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2017 and April 2018 were included in the study, and the aging phenomenon of renal function indicators such as serum creatinine(Scr)was used as the reference standard to evaluate the accuracy of four Scr-based GFR equations during GFR aging, including the full age spectrum(FAS)equation, the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration(CKD-EPI)equation, the Osaka equation and the Xiangya equation.Results:Of 37 636 individuals receiving physical examinations, 6 534 met the criteria specified in this study.Scr, serum urea nitrogen, serum uric acid, and serum albumin showed a significant aging phenomenon( H=191.640, 196.693, 83.271, 414.585, P<0.001 for all).The GFR estimated by the four equations all decreased with aging, but the starting point and rate of decline were significantly different.The GFR aging phenomenon estimated by the FAS equation was closer to the trend of renal function indicators. Conclusions:The FAS equation may be more applicable to healthy people to understand the aging phenomenon of GFR.

Background and purpose:Effective treatment for cervical cancer patients is one of the global strategies to eliminate cervical cancer.By analyzing the metastasis characteristics and survival status of patients with distant metastasis of cervical cancer from a hospital-based cancer registry data,our study provided real-world evidence for better survival of cervical cancer and finally eliminating cervical cancer.Methods:A total of 572 cervical cancer patients who had metastasis cancer at the initial diagnosis or developed distant metastasis during follow-up in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from 2008 to 2017 were included in this study.Medical records review,telephone visits and death registry data linkage were applied in collecting endpoint data.The first follow-up date was the diagnose date of metastasis,and the last follow-up date was November 1,2020.Kaplan-Meier method was applied in evaluating the 1-,3-and 5-year overall survival(OS)rates for overall and site-specific patients.Results:The median follow-up time was 38.93 months,and 348 cases died during the follow-up.72.55%were single site metastasis,and 27.45%were multiple metastases.Among all metastatic sites,the proportion of lung metastasis was the highest,41.26%,15.21%to bone,and 11.54%to liver.After metastasis,the 1-year,3-year and 5-year OS rates were 62.29%(95%CI:62.25-62.33),33.13%(95%CI:33.08-33.18)and 23.42%(95%CI:23.37-23.47),respectively.In single site metastasis,1-year OS was the highest after metastasis to the lung(72.52%).Besides,there was no significant difference among different metastatic sites,both in 3-year and 5-year OS.Conclusion:The most frequent distant metastatic sites of cervical cancer are lung,bone and liver.The survival rate after metastasis is poor.Further research with systematic treatment strategy is required for better survival.

Objective:To establish the hepatic organoid of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection on the basis of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and an inverted colloidal crystal polyethylene glycol scaffold (ICC), and to evaluate the antiviral effect of nucleoside drugs.Methods:iPSC was differentiated into hepatocyte-like cells (HLC), and inoculated into ICC to construct a hepatic organoid. The relative mRNA expressions of Nanog homeobox (NANOG), sex determining region Y-box (SOX) 2, SOX17, forkhead box protein A2 (FOXA2), alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and albumin (ALB) were detected by real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Confocal laser microscopy was used to photograph the three-dimension (3D) structure of organs. The expression of sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) in HLC was analyzed by Western blot and immunofluorescence. HepG2.2.15 cells were used to extract HBV virus particles to infect hepatic organoid. The relative expression of HBV pregenome RNA (pgRNA) in cells was detected by RT-qPCR. The expressions of hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in cytoplasm were observed under confocal laser microscopy. A total of 0.5 μmol/L entecavir and 0.5 μmol/L lamivudine were used to treat the infected cells respectively. The relative expression of HBV pgRNA in infected and uninfected cells was detected by RT-qPCR. Independent sample t test and one-way analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis. Results:Within 21 days of iPSC differentiation, the mRNA expressions of NANOG and SOX2 in stem cells markers decreased ( F=158.90 and 8.31, respectivley; P<0.001 and P=0.002, respectively), while the mRNA expressions of SOX17 and FOXA2 in the endoderm increased first and then decreased ( F=37.23 and 82.57, respectively, both P<0.001). In the later stage of differentiation, the mRNA expressions of AFP and ALB in liver cells increased ( F=4.65 and 34.64, respectively, P=0.012 and P<0.001, respectively), and all differences were statistically significant. NTCP was highly expressed in differentiated cells detected by Western blot and fluorescence microscopy, the protein expression level was 0.803±0.099. Confocal laser microscopy confirmed that the differentiated cells expressed ALB and presented spherical structure in ICC. The expression of HBV pgRNA and the immunostaining of HBsAg and HBcAg confirmed that HBV successfully infected hepatic organoid. Three days after the application of entecavir and lamivudine, the HBV pgRNA level decreased significantly both in entecavir group (0.665±0.220) and lamivudine group (0.503±0.117) compared to the uninfected cells (3.347±0.454), and the differences were both statistically significant ( t=10.53 and 12.72, respectively, both P<0.001). Conclusions:HLC display hepatic specific genes ALB and NTCP. Hepatic organoids constructed with iPSC and ICC have human liver function and can be infected by HBV. Entecavir and lamivudine could effectively inhibit the replication of HBV in hepatic organoids.
