“…More points represent a more severe degree of decline in the ADL of the elderly. For the physical ADLS, selecting 1 to 2 activities as “entirely dependent” is defined as “mild disability,” selecting 3 to 4 as “entirely dependent” is defined as “moderate disability,” and selecting 5 to 6 as “entirely dependent” is defined as “severe disability.” The ADLS had acceptable construct validity and reliability (Cronbach’s α = .70–.98) in older adults (Pashmdarfard & Azad, 2020). The Cronbach’s alpha of the scale in this study was .891, supporting internal consistency.…”

Introduction: Caring for the disabled elderly puts heavy burdens on their families. This study aimed to explore family function (FF) as a mediator in the relationship between disability severity (DS) and family burden (FB) of the Uygur and Kazakh home-dwelling disabled elderly cared for by informal caregivers in China. Method: A cross-sectional design with multistage sampling was used to recruit 431 families with Uygur and Kazakh disabled elderly in Bortala, Xinjiang, China. Data were collected using the Activities of Daily Living Scale, Family Burden Interview Schedule, and Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve Index Scale and then analyzed using hierarchical regression. Results: FF had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between DS and FB (β = 0.131; 95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.074, 0.197]; p < .01); the effective rate was 41.46%. Discussion: Multidisciplinary care teams should implement targeted interventions to improve FF of the disabled elderly to alleviate FB.

“…The differences in CSF protein levels and GCS scores between the two groups at two and four weeks after treatment were compared and analyzed; Judgment of treatment effect: The recovery of the living ability of the two groups of patients after three months of treatment was observed. All patients were graded according to the neurological recovery score (ADL rating scale) after treatment 10 : Grade I: completely normal life, Grade II: able to basically take care of themselves in life, Grade III: living in need of help from others, Grade IV: conscious but unable to take care of themselves, Grade V: death. The overall good rate = Grade I + Grade II + Grade III.…”

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of external ventricular drain combined with intraventricular urokinase injection and intravenous piracetam in the treatment of intraventricular hemorrhage. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was used in this study conducted at Baoding First Central Hospital, China from January 2017 to December 2019. Sixty patients with intraventricular hemorrhage were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the control group were treated with external ventricular drain, while patients in the experimental group were given intraventricular urokinase injection and intravenous piracetam on the basis of the control group. The incidence of adverse drug reactions, hospitalization time, hematoma elimination time, and drainage tube removal time in two groups were compared and analyzed including the cerebrospinal fluid protein content, changes in GCS score, neurological function recovery (ADL score), and Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) of the two groups after treatment. Results: The hematoma elimination time, drainage tube removal time and hospitalization time of the experimental group were shorter than those of the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). After treatment, compared with the control group, the protein content of cerebrospinal fluid in the experimental group decreased more significantly (P=0.00), the GCS score was higher (P=0.00), the overall good rate of neurological function was higher (P=0.04), while the rate of good prognosis was higher (P=0.03). Within one month of treatment, the incidence of surgical complications in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group (P=0.04). Conclusions: External ventricular drain combined with intraventricular urokinase injection and intravenous piracetam is an effective method for the treatment of intraventricular hemorrhage, which is worthy of clinical promotion. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.38.5.4820 How to cite this:Cui J, Ma X, Tong J, Shu M.

“…Participants’ daily living activity assessment used health self-assessment measures (body, emotion and feeling) together with the ADL (level of basic self-care) and IADL (ability to use basic appliances) scales 8–10. Based on previous research findings, we additionally used some simple, independently designed health self-evaluation questions covering the previous month of the participant’s life condition, including overall self-evaluation, limitations of the ability to undertake activity, the impact of health status on daily life, the impact of emotional status on daily life, pain status, self-assessed psychological state, the influence of health and mental state on daily social interaction and other issues.…”

PurposeThe West China longevity and ageing procedure (WCLAP) cohort study aims to provide guidance for older adults in western China with the aim of improving quality of life, reducing the burden of family care, summarising the characteristics of longevity lifestyles, building a Chinese-longevity-population biobank and exploring the mechanisms underlying population ageing.ParticipantsSince the establishment of the WCLAP research baseline in 2018, a population of 1537 adults aged 80 years and above, living in the community, have been enrolled in the programme as research participants. Of these, 231 are aged 100 years and above. Participants are followed up every year.Finding to dataWCLAP data are collected in five hospital research subcentres strategically located adjacent to the national ‘Longevity Townships’ of Chengdu Ziyang, Leshan, Yibin and Pengshan. Data collection included a comprehensive assessment of the participant’s health (including physical, psychological, social and common chronic disease assessments), instrumental tests (body composition and muscle percentage) and the collection of biomedical-biobank samples (include blood, urine, faeces, hair and urine).Future plansThrough the annual cohort follow-up, survival-related information is collected at a group level. Analysis of biological samples facilitates biological characterisation at the microscopic level through proteomics, metabolomics, genomics and other techniques. Baseline data, group-level follow-up data and microbiological examination data are integrated together to provide an evaluation tool, exploring sarcopenia, disability, dementia, caregiver burden, ageing biomarkers and other influencing factors.Trial registration numbers2018-463; ChiCTR1900020754.
