Objective To investigate the results of ambulatory electrocardiographic(ECG)monitoring in a community-based homebound elderly population and to explore the applicability of wearable long-range ambulatory ECG monitor for them.Methods Elderly volunteers were recruited in Shuangbei Community,Shapingba District,Chongqing,from November 2021 to June 2023.A single-lead wearable ambulatory ECG recorder was applied to them to obtain ECG for 7 consecutive days.The adverse reactions,acceptability,monitoring duration,and arrhythmia detection rate during the wearing were described and recorded.Serious arrhythmic events included frequent atrial premature,atrial flutter,atrial fibrillation(AF),frequent ventricular premature,and RR intervals ≥5 s.Results There were 416 individuals enrolled,with a mean age of 71.2±6.6 years,and a male percentage of 36.1%(150 men).Finally,384(92.3%)participants completed the wearing of the ECG monitor for 7 d,with an average time of 159.2±29.4 h.There were 179 participants(48.5%)reporting no discomfort during wearing,and 175 ones(47.4%)feeling itchy at the wearing site.The monitoring results showed that the common arrhythmias were atrial premature contractions(97.1%),premature ventricular contractions(93.3%),atrial tachycardia(84.6%),bradycardia(46.6%),frequent atrial premature contractions(15.1%),ventricular tachycardia(13.2%),and long RR interval(11.8%).Among them,29.1%of the participants experienced serious arrhythmic events,and the detection rate of certain serious arrhythmic events was comparatively higher in the individuals≥70 years of age and those with history of previous cardiac disease.Conclusion The detection rate of common arrhythmias is quite high in the community-based homebound elderly population.A 7-day long-range ambulatory ECG monitoring may be appropriate.

Objective To analyze and construct systolic blood pressure(SBP)fluctuation trajectory in a community population with hypertension and to analyze the factors influencing different trajectories.Methods This is a community-based retrospective cohort study.A latent class trajectory model was used to identify and construct longitudinal trajectories of blood pressure change.Multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the associated factors of blood pressure trajectories by adjusting for different confounders.Potential confounding factors were identified using a directed acyclic graph based on a priori knowledge.Results A total of 793 patients with hypertension were enrolled in the analysis.They were divided into 3 groups by LCTM-fitted systolic blood pressure trajectories,namely stable low-level group(n=561,70.74%),declining group(n=170,21.44%)and rising group(n=62,7.82%).Significant differences were observed among the 3 trajectories groups in terms of age,frequency of exercise,ways of follow-up,salt intake,compliance behavior,and referral(P<0.05).Compared to the stable low-level group and adjusting for corresponding confounding factors,the male patients and the patients with"outpatient follow-up"were more likely to be classified into"declining group",with OR and 95%CI of 1.436(1.016~2.030)and 1.702(1.202~2.410),respectively.The participants aged ≥ 65 years,who did not exercise or occasionally exercised,and had moderate and severe salt intake,were more likely to be classified into the"rising group"(OR=1.949,2.284,2.433,4.540,95%CI:1.145~3.317,1.305~3.998,1.272~4.654,1.291~15.963).Conclusion SBP trajectories in community-dwelling hypertensive population can be divided into stable low-level,declining and rising groups.Gender,age,salt intake,exercise frequency,and follow-up methods may be influencing factors for SBP blood pressure trajectory.

Objective:To explore the application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound with SonoLiver software including quantitative analysis and dynamic vascular pattern (DVP) in the intraoperative diagnosis of glioma.Methods:SonoLiver software was used to analyze the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) process of 252 cases with different grades of gliomas in General Hospital of Southern Theatre Command of PLA from 2006 to 2016. Among them, 144 were in the low-grade gliomas (LGG) group and 108 were in the high-grade gliomas (HGG) group. The quantitative parameters included maximum intensity (IMAX), time to peak (TTP) and mean transit time (mTT). The images of each CEUS were obtained, and the microvessel density (MVD) of corresponding pathology was compared, so as to analyze their correlations and characteristics.Results:There were significant differences in IMAX, TTP and mTT between the CEUS parameters of gliomas with different grades. IMAX in HGG group was significantly higher than that in LGG group( P<0.001), while TTP was shorter ( P=0.017) and mTT was longer( P=0.030). By correlation analysis between MVD and the CEUS parameters, MVD was positively correlated with IMAX ( r s=0.736, P<0.001) and mTT( r s=0.184, P=0.003), but negatively correlated with TTP( r s=-0.186, P=0.003). Compared with DVP images, the tumor areas of LGG group were mainly warm and black colors with small spots of cool-colored areas, and most of the surrounding areas were more obvious black areas. In HGG group, the tumor areas were mainly warm colors. Most of which were scattered in patchy cold colors areas, and the surrounding black areas were less ( P<0.05). There were significant differences in differentiating gliomas boundary before and after using DVP technique ( P<0.05). After using DVP, the boundary of glioma was clearer and more discernible. The discernibility of HGG group was up to 99%, and that of LGG group reached 97%. Conclusions:SonoLiver software can effectively and quantitatively analyze the CEUS parameters of gliomas with different grades, and its DVP images can directly reflect the contrast perfusion characteristics of gliomas, providing a new way to distinguish the boundary of gliomas and a new imaging method for the differential diagnosis of high and low grades of gliomas.

Objective To analyze the effect of clinical pathway management for capillary bronchitis in Department of Pediatrics.Methods 75 children with capillary bronchitis after the implementation of clinical pathway management were selected as the observation group,and 68 children with capillary bronchitis before the implementa-tion of clinical pathway management were selected as the control group.The hospitalization cost,average hospital stay, antibiotic use rate,cure rate,nonsocomial infection rate,rehospitalization rate within two weeks,service satisfaction and other comprehensive indices were compared.Result The total cost of drug of the observation group[(1 198.49 ± 397.48)yuan]was lower than (1 324.05 ±376.57)yuan of the control group(Z =2.00,P <0.05).The average hospital stay of the observation group[(6.99 ±2.39)d]was shorter than (8.01 ±2.22)d of the control group(Z =2.62,P <0.05).The service satisfaction rate of the observation group(95%)was higher than 82% of the control group(χ2 =5.44,P <0.05).The antimicrobial use rate of the observation group(49%)was apparently lower than 95% of the control group (χ2 =27.59,P <0.01).There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in cure rate(hospital discharge rate),nosocomial infection rate and rehospitalization rate within two weeks(all P >0.05).Conclusion Clinical pathway management for capillary bronchitis in Department of Pediatrics of primary hospital can play a role in standardizing medical practice,reducing average hospitalization days,controlling medical cost,and improving service satisfaction under the precondition of ensuring medical quality.

A novel method for the detection of moroxydine ( ABOB) residue in tomatoes was developed based on the enhancement of the fluorescence intensity of CdTe quantum dots( QDs) in the presence of ABOB. The factors influencing the performance of the QDs fluorescent probes were investigated, and the optimum conditions were determined:the concentration of mercaptoacidic acid ( TGA) capped-CdTe quantum dot was 1×10-4 mol/L, and the reaction time was 20 min at pH=5. 6. Under the optimum conditions, the relative fluorescence intensity increases linearly proportional to the ABOB concentration in the range of 1. 0×10-12-5. 0×10-10 mol/L with a limit of detection of 5. 2×10-13 mol/L, R=0. 9981, the recovery was 97%-106%, without obvious interference on the determinations of moroxydine from the common coexisting ions, antibiotics, and vitamins. The proposed method has been successfully applied in the detection of trace moroxydine hydrochloride residue in tomatoes.
