ObjectiveTo explore the diagnostic efficacy of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in malnutrition of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in outpatient department. MethodsOne hundred and five elderly outpatients with COPD were enrolled in the study, and their nutritional screening was carried out. The clinical and laboratory parameters of patients in the normal nutrition group (high GNRI group) and malnutrition group (low GNRI group) were compared, and the correlation analysis was conducted. The diagnostic efficacy of GNRI was evaluated based on the malnutrition universal screening tool (MUST). ResultsThe prevalence of malnutrition was high in COPD elderly outpatients. The prevalence of malnutrition in group D was 61.8%. There were significant differences between the two groups in body mass index, serum albumin, FEV1 percentage in the predicted value, 6-minute walk distance, and the number of acute exacerbations in the past year. GNRI was significantly related to the above parameters. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of GNRI were 81.8%, 83.6% and 82.9%, using MUST as the standard. ConclusionGNRI can be used for nutritional screening of COPD patients in elderly outpatients, which is simple, convenient and relatively accurate, and can be popularized in other medical institutions.
ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship of 24-hour ambulatory pulse pressure (24hPP) with left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in elderly essential hypertension patients. MethodsThe data of 110 elderly patients with essential hypertension from January to December 2012 were collected in the study. All patients received 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and echoeardiographic examination 24hPP and LVMI were calculated according to the results of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and echocardiographic measurements. The patients were divided into group A [24hPP<60 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), n=70] and group B (24hPP≥60 mm Hg, n=40). ResultsThe 24-hour systolic blood pressure and 24hPP for patients in group B were significantly higher than those in group A (P<0.001). Compared with group A patients, the interventricular septal thickness, left ventricular posterior wall thickness, left ventricular mass and left ventricular mass index were significantly higher in group B (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that 24hPP had a positive correlation with LVMI in the elderly essential hypertension patients (r=0.33, P<0.001). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that 24hPP was the main factor for the increase of LVMI in elderly essential hypertension patients (β=0.90, P<0.001). ConclusionThe 24hPP is positively correlated with LVMI in elderly essential hypertension patients. The 24hPP is an important risk factor for left ventricular structural damage in elderly essential hypertensive patients.
ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy of lymphadenectomy in different regions for esophageal squamous cell carcinomas located differently according to the lymph node grouping by Chinese expert consensus. MethodsThe medical records of 1 061 patients (886 males and 175 females with a median age of 60 (54, 65) years with esophageal cancer from March 2011 to December 2017 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. According to the pathological report, the lymph nodes were regrouped according to the Chinese lymph nodes grouping standard of esophageal cancer. The metastasis rate of each group of lymph nodes, the 5-year survival rate of metastatic patients and efficacy index (EI) were calculated. ResultsThe upper thoracic esophageal cancer mainly metastasized to the lymph nodes of C201-203 groups. The middle and lower thoracic tumors mainly metastasized to the lymph nodes of C205-207 groups. The lower thoracic tumor had a higher rate of metastasis to the abdominal lymph nodes. According to the metastasis rate, the mediastinal lymph nodes were divided into three regions: an upper mediastinum (C201-204), a middle mediastinum (C205-206), and a lower mediastinum (C207-209). The EIs of lymph nodes of C201-203 and C205-207 groups were higher. For patients with C201-207 groups metastasis, the 5-year survival rates ranged from 13.39% to 21.60%. For patients with positive lymph nodes in each region, tumors at different primary locations had no statistical difference in long-term survival (P>0.05). Patients with lymph nodes of C205 group in the upper thoracic tumors had lower EI and those in the middle and lower thoracic tumors had higher EIs. ConclusionThe effect of lymph node dissection in each area varies with the location of the tumor. No matter where the tumor is, it is necessary to dissect the upper mediastinal lymph nodes, especially the lymph nodes adjacent to the left and right recurrent laryngeal nerves. Group C205 should be classified into the lower mediastinal lymph nodes.
ObjectivesTo assess the methodological quality of clinical practice guidelines of cervical cancer in China published from 2014 to 2018.MethodsCNKI, WanFang Data, CBM, VIP, Medlive.cn, the National Guideline Clearinghouse, PubMed, The Cochrane Library and EMbase were searched for cervical cancer clinical practice guidelines published in China from January 1st, 2014 to December 31st, 2018. Four reviewers searched and selected the literature independently according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and assessed the methodological quality of the included guidelines by using AGREE Ⅱ.ResultsA total of 9 guidelines were included. The average score for each area was: scope and purpose 75.47%, stakeholders’ involvement 35.09%, the rigor of development 43.70%, clarity of presentation 87.74%, applicability 80.76%, and editorial independence 0%.ConclusionsThe quality of cervical cancer clinical practice guidelines in China requires further improvement.
Osteosarcopenia (OS), which has become a global public health problem, is a geriatric syndrome in which sarcopenia and osteoporosis co-exist, leading to falls, fractures, and even varying degrees of disability in the elderly. The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is a tool to measure the overall level of dietary inflammation in an individual, and the DII score is closely associated with the development of OS. This article reviews the basic concepts of DII and OS and their interrelationships, focusing on the associations between diet, inflammation, DII and OS, with the aim of providing a reference for dietary interventions in the prevention and control of OS patients.
