ObjectiveTo systematically review the incidence of social isolation in Chinese elderly population. MethodsCNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science and CENTRAL databases were electronically searched to collect studies on the incidence of social isolation in China from inception to May 2022. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 15.1 software. ResultsA total of 20 studies involving 86 111 subjects were included. Meta-analysis results showed that the incidence of social isolation among the elderly in China was 27.54% (95%CI 22.15% to 57.74%). The results of subgroup analysis showed that gender, age, educational level, marital status, self-assessment of health, living style, year of publication, and region surveyed were all influential factors of the incidence of social isolation among the elderly in China. ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that the incidence of social isolation among the elderly in China is relatively high. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.

Objective To analyze the failure factors of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) in the treatment of geriatric intertrochanteric fractures. Methods The clinical data of 136 cases of intertrochanteric fracture treated with PFNA internal fixation between May 2015 and June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 106 males and 30 females, aged from 60 to 80 years, with an average age of 75.5 years. According to Evans-Jensen classification, there were 45 cases of type Ⅰ, 50 cases of type Ⅱ, 23 cases of type Ⅲ, 13 cases of type Ⅳ, and 5 cases of type Ⅴ. The time from injury to operation was 2-4 days, with an average of 3 days. According to the X-ray films before and after operation, the fracture types (stable and unstable), reduction quality (according to Baumgaertner’s criteria), integrity of lateral wall and posteromedial cortex of the patients with failure of PFNA internal fixation were summarized, and the causes of failure were analyzed. Results All the 136 patients were followed up 7-18 months (mean, 13.6 months). There were 17 cases (12.5%) of PFNA internal fixation failure after operation, including 3 cases of stable fracture and 14 cases of unstable fracture; the quality of fracture reduction was excellent in 2 cases, good in 5 cases, and poor in 10 cases; 10 cases with complete lateral wall and 7 cases with defect; 9 cases with complete posteromedial cortex and 8 cases with defect. Reasons for failure of internal fixation: ① There were 8 cases of coxa varus at 12 weeks after operation due to the loss of posteromedial cortex of femoral intertrochanteric, 7 of them continued non-weight-bearing observation and fracture healed at 6 months after operation; 1 case underwent total hip arthroplasty with spiral blade excision after operation. ② There were 7 cases of internal fixation failure caused by lateral wall defect, including 2 cases of screw blade retraction, continued non-weight-bearing observation, and removed the internal fixator after fracture healing; 2 cases of malunion of rotation with the rotation of no more than 15°, fracture healed at 6 months after operation without special treatment; and 3 cases of rupture of lateral intertrochanteric wall during operation, continued non-weight-bearing observation and fracture healed at 6 months after operation. ③ The distal locking of the main screw was deviated in 2 cases during operation. One of them was found and replanted in time during operation, and 1 case was found with fracture of femoral shaft on 3 days after operation, following 1 year of non-weight-bearing observation and fracture ending healing. Conclusion The types of intertrochanteric fractures (especially unstable fractures), the integrity of the proximal lateral wall of femur, and the defect of the posteromedial cortex are the internal risk factors for the success or failure of PFNA in the treatment of geriatric intertrochanteric fractures. The effective protection of the lateral wall during operation and the good quality of fracture reduction are the external factors that must be paid attention to.
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.
Objective Evidence-based medicine was used to make an individualized treatment plan for newly diagnosed prostatic hyperplasia in an elderly patient. Methods After clinical problems were discovered, evidence was collected from CBM, CNKI, The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, Springer, and ProQuest databases according to our predefined search strategy. The search was done through 2008. The internal and external validity of the evidence was assessed. The evidence, combined with the patient value, was applied to the patient. Results A total of 39 systematic reviews involving 137 randomized controlled trials were identified. A rational treatment plan was made upon a critical evaluation of the data. After one year follow-up, the treatment protocol was proven correct. Conclusion The treatment efficacy in newly diagnosed prostatic hyperplasia in the elderly has been improved by determining an individualized treatment protocol according to evidence-based methods.
ObjectiveTo investigate the association of arterial stiffness with cardiovascular risk factors. MethodsFrom July 2014 to August 2015, 1 599 participants aged over 65 years old were recruited from 10 communities located in the northern Shanghai. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) was measured by SphygmoCor device. Cardiovascular risk factors were assessed by questionnaire, anthropometry or conventional biochemical measurements. SPSS 20.0 was applied for data management and statistical analysis. ResultsCf-PWV was significantly associated with cardiovascular risk factors (P<0.001). Moreover, with the accumulating cardiovascular risk factors, cf-PWV increased gradually and significantly (P<0.001). The increasing trend remained significant in all participants, in men and in women, respectively. ConclusionArterial stiffness is significantly associated with cardiovascular risk factors and their accumulation.

Methods A total of 68 elder patients with refractory respiratory infections in our hospital from February 2005 to September 2010 were randomly divided into two groups: treatment group (n=34) and control group (n=34). The patients in treatment group were treated with levofloxacin combined with azithromycin; while the patients in the control group were treated with levofloxacin alone. The total treatment periods of both groups were 15 days. The therapeutic efficacy, eradication rate of pathogens and the rate of aelverse reactions were observed. Results The therapeutic effect rate was 64.71% in the treatment group and 32.35% in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Plt;0.05). The eradication rate of pathogens was 76.19% in the treatment group and 36.36% in the control group, and the difference was significant (Plt;0.05). The rate of the adverse reaction was 5.88% in the treatment group and 8.82% in the control group, and there were no significant differences between the two groups (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Levofloxacin combined with Azithromycin is effective on refractory respiratory tract infection in elder patients, which can effectively remove the bacteria with few adverse reaction.
