Objective: To evaluate the risk factors contributing to preoperative malnutrition in elderly patients with hip fractures.
Methods: The study retrospectively analysed clinical data from 182 elderly patients aged 60 years or older with hip fractures. Nutritional status was assessed according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition diagnostic criteria, and risk factors associated with malnutrition were identified through univariate and logistic regression analyses.
Aim: To investigate the grip strength of older patients with gastrointestinal tumours and analyse its explanatory factors.
Methods: A total of 170 older patients with gastrointestinal tumours admitted to the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department of a Grade-III hospital in the Zhejiang province from January 2022 to December 2022 were selected as the investigation participants. Among them, there were 102 cases of gastric cancer (60.
Objective: to analyse the differences in malnutrition assessment between the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) among patients with hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancies. Method: this study was a cross-sectional study and included 126 hospitalised patients who underwent surgery for hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancies between November 1, 2019 and August 1, 2020. The patients' clinical data were collected, and malnutrition assessments were completed using the different nutritional assessment tools.

Methods: A total of 682 patients with CKD were selected and divided into CKD stage 1-5 subgroups according to their glomerular filtration rate. Infectious complications, length of hospital stay, and total cost of hospitalization were recorded.
Background: Femoral artery puncture is still the most used surgical approach. Because the operation requires local anaesthesia, the patient may not be able to exert full self-control, and their upper and lower limbs and trunk need to be constrained by a protection device.
Objective: To explore the safe application effect of a new type of anti-movement protection device for upper and lower extremities, shoulders and chest in patients undergoing interventional therapy via the femoral artery approach.
Background And Objectives: To investigate the association between frailty, malnutrition, comorbid medical conditions and activities of daily living (ADL) in older adult patients with fractures, and to analyse the influential factors of frailty.
Methods And Study Design: The FRAIL scale including five components: fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, and loss of weight, was used to evaluate frailty. Participants were divided into frailty, pre-frailty and non-frailty groups.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for nutritional risk in older adults with gastrointestinal tumours.
Materials And Methods: A total of 170 eligible hospitalised older adults with gastrointestinal tumours were included. Their clinical characteristics were collected, their nutritional risk was screened by NRS 2002, and then patients were divided into a nutritional risk group and a non-nutritional risk group.
Background: To analyze the current situation of frailty and the main influencing factors of frailty of older patients with hip fracture.
Methods: Using a fixed-point consecutive sampling method, we investigated older adult patients with hip fracture aged ≥60 years who were hospitalized in an orthopedic ward of a tertiary hospital from January 2021 to March 2022. We also assessed the prevalence of frailty and malnutrition by trial of the fatigue, resistance, aerobic capacity, illnesses, and loss of weight (FRAIL) scale and the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria to analyze the factors influencing frailty.
Objective: To investigate the nutritional risk, malnutrition, severe malnutrition, and malnutrition prevalence of different stages in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with and without diabetes mellitus using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM), and to analyze the causes of malnutrition and to improve the clinical outcomes of patients for early intervention.
Methods: A total of 683 patients with CKD who were hospitalized in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 were enrolled and divided into subgroups 1 to 5 according to whether they were complicated with diabetes and glomerular filtration rate. Using the second step of the malnutrition (GLIM) diagnostic tool and 2 previously commonly used malnutrition assessment methods (body mass index <18.
Background: An optimal bowel preparation can result in an improved colonoscopy. This study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of the use of a sports drink (Mizone) plus polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution with a water plus PEG solution in bowel preparations.
Methods: This was a randomised controlled study.
Geraniol is a potent tea odorant and exists mainly as geranyl glycoside in . Understanding the mechanisms of geraniol biosynthesis at molecular levels in tea plants is of great importance for practical improvement of tea aroma. In this study, geraniol and its glycosides from tea plants were examined using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.

Methods: A total of 151 supratentorial tumor patients were enrolled in this study, and they were divided into control group (n = 75) and observation group (n = 76) according to the random number table method. Patients in the control group received routine neurosurgery care, and patients in the observation group received enhanced recovery after surgery care.
Background: This study aimed to explore the correlations between continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment-related self-efficacy and family support among patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) to provide a basis for improving patients' CPAP treatment compliance.
Methods: From May to Dec 2017, a cross-sectional study was conducted in the emergency wards, otorhinolaryngology wards, respiratory wards, and outpatient clinic of our hospital. A total of 112 patients with OSA treated with home ventilators were administered with the Self-efficacy Measure for Sleep Apnoea (SEMSA) and Perceived Social Support from Family (PSS-Fa) Scale.
Dark teas are prepared by a microbial fermentation process. Flavan-3-ol B-ring fission analogues (FBRFAs) are some of the key bioactive constituents that characterize dark teas. The precursors and the synthetic mechanism involved in the formation of FBRFAs are not known.
