Methods: a total of 100 patients in our hospital from 2019 to date were randomly divided into two groups. The patients in the first group were treated with valsartan, and the patients in the second group were treated with amlodipine while valsartan. After the treatment was completed, the physical conditions of the two groups were compared, including whether there was any adverse reaction. Results: the physical condition of patients in the second group after treatment was lower than that in the first group (P < 0.05). No obvious adverse reactions were observed in the two groups during the treatment, and the treatment effects were relatively good. P > 0.05. Conclusion: valsartan combined with amlodipine in the treatment of hypertension can obtain better effect, which is very good for improving patients' physical condition, improving patients' life quality and ensuring the safety in the treatment process.展开更多

Methods: the elderly patients in the railway station community of our county were included in the management experiment. 82 subjects had chronic diseases. Use the time grouping method to complete the statistics before and after management. In order to obtain the body status of elderly chronic objects in different community areas, and count their chronic disease related health indicators. Results: the health indexes related to chronic diseases after management were higher than those before management. In the comparison of data in different stages, P < 0.05. Conclusion: allowing elderly patients with chronic diseases in the community to receive health management in time can strengthen the prevention and treatment of diseases, promote them to develop good life rules, and has the significance of popularization and implementation.展开更多

Influenced by the only-child policy, traditional old-age support system fails to adapt to new social situation, the institutions have become major subjects in the future old-age support system. Researches on the elderly-fi t architectural design have achieved many fruits, but those on the landscape design of the elderly community has been less reported. This paper studied landscape design of the old-age support institutions from the perspective of both theory and practice, and tried to explore the spatial layout of environmental landscapes in the elderly community. On the basis of sorting out specifi c psychological needs of the elderly group in China and their needs for the layout of landscape spaces, this paper proposed some effective solutions in view of successful elderly communities in overseas countries, then analyzed the development of elderly communities in China, so as to fi gure out landscape design approaches capable of promoting physical and mental health of the elderly group in the old-age support institutions.展开更多

Methods: from January 2019 to January 2020, 100 elderly diabetic patients in the community were randomly divided into two groups by double blind method. The control group received traditional treatment and the high-quality treatment group received high-level treatment. The fasting blood glucose before and after lactation, blood glucose 2 hours after meal, satisfaction and compliance of the two groups were compared. Results: the fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels of the high-quality nursing group were higher than those of the control group, the satisfaction was higher than that of the control group, and the compliance behavior was higher than that of the control group. Conclusion: the high-quality treatment of diabetic patients has good effect, which can effectively improve the blood glucose level of patients, improve satisfaction and increase compliance, and is worthy of promotion and application.展开更多

Methods 510 community elderly (over 60 years old) in Hebei Province were selected as the subjects by simple random sampling. The general data and basic living conditions were investigated. SARC-F screening scale was used to screen and diagnose sarcopenia. Results: among 510 subjects, 60.59% were male and 39.41% were female. The prevalence of sarcopenia in the elderly was 25.69%. There were significant differences in age, eating habits, staple food intake, number of eggs per day, amount of milk, amount of meat, amount of vegetables, amount of vitamin health products, length of walking, length of watching TV and playing mobile phone, whether to formulate their own training prescription under the guidance of professional rehabilitation personnel, sleep and illness between sarcopenia group and non sarcopenia group (P < 0.05). Results: binary logistic regression analysis showed that the independent influencing factors of sarcopenia in the elderly (P < 0.05) included the number of eggs, the amount of milk, the amount of meat, the amount of vegetables, the length of walking, the length of watching TV and playing mobile phones, whether to formulate their own training prescription and sleep under the guidance of professional rehabilitation personnel. Conclusion: the factors affecting the elderly suffering from sarcopenia in Hebei community mainly include diet and exercise. The occurrence of sarcopenia in the elderly can be prevented by improving diet nutrition and physical exercise. Therefore, the community needs to do a good job in popular science education and early intervention to promote the health of the elderly and improve the quality of life of the elderly.展开更多

It is critical to determine the status of oropharyngeal pathogen colonization in the elderly when treating pneumonia. To explore the efficient approaches to treat age-related pneumonia, we determined the status of oropharyngeal pathogenic colonization in the elderly community. Methods Throat swab cultures were used to isolate oropharyngeal pathogens from 706 residents older than 65 years living in the community of Shenyang City. Characteristics of bacterial strains were sorted and identified using drug sensitivity tests. Results Results of bacterial identification showed that 265 out of 706 samples were positive, thereby exhibiting a 37.5% positive rate. There were 290 bacterial strains isolated from the elderly community in total, of which 248 strains were gram-negative bacilli （GNB） and 42 strains were gram-positive cocci （GNC）, accounting for 85.5% and 14.5%, respectively. There were 158 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains, representing 54.4% of the all GNB. Conclusion The rate of oropharyngeal GNB colonization in the elderly community increases and Klebsiella pneumoniae is the most common strain.展开更多
