Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzes the quality of life (QoL) of elderly rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in Zunyi, China, comparing those under 60 years old to those 60 and older, using data from 1166 patients.
  • - Results show that older patients experience lower recovery levels, higher inflammatory markers, and significantly worse QoL scores on various health metrics compared to younger patients.
  • - The findings highlight the urgent need to improve RA treatment strategies for elderly patients to address their increased disease activity, poorer QoL, and higher rates of health complications and infections.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical value of adding Jin-gu-lian (JGL) capsules into rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment by examining its impact on disease activity and quality of life (QoL) through a real-world study (RWS).

Patients And Methods: RWS was conducted to compare the inflammatory markers, including IgM-RF, ESR, and CRP, between RA patients treated with only Western medicine (reference group) and Western medicine plus JGL (study group) during one-year follow-up. The clinical data was acquired from the hospital information system (HIS).

In regions with a mild climate, pesticides are often used around homes for pest control. Recent monitoring studies have linked pesticide use in residential areas to aquatic toxicity in urban surface water ecosystems, and suggested dust particles on paved surfaces as an important source of pesticides. To test the hypothesis that dust on hard surfaces is a significant source of pesticides, we evaluated spatial and temporal patterns of current-use insecticides in Southern California, and further explored their distribution as a function of particle sizes.
