Understanding the financial impact of a diagnosis of young onset dementia on individuals and families in the United Kingdom: Results of an online survey

Although literature on postdiagnostic support for people affected by young onset dementia acknowledges financial concerns, this topic has remained underresearched. The aim of this study was to explore the financial impact of a diagnosis of young onset dementia on individuals and families. An online survey, comprising binary yes/no, multiple-response and open-ended questions, was codesigned with people living with young onset dementia. The survey was promoted via networks and online platforms. Data were collected from August to October 2019. Survey respondents across the United Kingdom (n = 55) who had received a diagnosis of young onset dementia were aged between 45 and 64, were at different stages of dementia and had been diagnosed with thirteen different types of dementia. Of the 55 respondents, 71% (n = 39) had received assistance from family members when completing the survey. The main financial impact of a diagnosis of young onset dementia resulted from premature loss of income and reduced and often deferred pension entitlements. In some cases, care-costs became unaffordable. Lack of clarity of processes and procedures around needs assessments, carers' assessments and financial assessments by different organisations resulted in some families having to ask for legal advice and, in some cases, involved lengthy appeal processes. Future research needs to involve Adult Social Care and Third Sector organisations to help codesign and test financial management interventions to support people affected by this progressive health condition.

目的 探讨农村老年人腹型肥胖及血脂水平对动脉硬化的交互影响,为动脉硬化的防治提供参考依据。方法 采用多阶段抽样方法选取贵州省2个县（区）内5个乡镇共1 035名60岁及以上老年人为研究对象,进行问卷调查、现场体格检查、实验室检测和动脉硬化检测,采用SPSS 24.0软件进行χ2检验和非条件logistic回归分析贵州农村老年人腹型肥胖、血脂水平及其交互作用对动脉硬化的影响。结果 1 035名老年人中检出动脉硬化对象942人,检出率为91.01%。腹型肥胖老年人动脉硬化检出率94.25%（606人）;TG异常老年人动脉硬化检出率97.53%（158人）。多因素logistic回归分析结果显示,控制年龄、性别、婚姻状况、是否高血压等因素后,腹型肥胖者（OR = 2.018,95%CI:1.188～3.428）,TG异常者（OR = 3.350,95%CI:1.148～9.774）与老年人动脉硬化患病高风险相关。交互作用分析结果显示TG×腹型肥胖对老年人发生动脉硬化存在相乘交互作用（P＜0.05）,（OR = 3.526,95%CI:1.053～11.810）。结论 腹型肥胖、TG异常是动脉硬化的独立影响因素,且腹型肥胖与血脂水平对老年人患动脉硬化具有相乘交互作用。     

三种感染性疾病降钙素原水平比较

目的探讨降钙素原(PCT)辅助细菌性脓毒症诊断的可靠性,以及在革兰阴性菌和革兰阳性菌感染鉴别中的意义。方法本项目收集的研究对象为2013年1月-2018年12月,深圳市龙岗中心医院感染科收治的细菌性脓毒症患者131例、登革热患者30例,流行性感冒患者30例。分别检测三组患者体内PCT水平。结果脓毒症组PCT为2.30(0.18,100)ng/ml高于登革热组0.27(0.09,0.54)ng/ml(P<0.001)及流感组0.04(0.01,0.35)ng/ml(P<0.001);而登革热组与流感组相比,PCT浓度则无统计学意义(P=0.128);其次,在脓毒症组中,革兰阴性菌感染者的PCT浓度高于革兰阳性菌感染者(P<0.001)。结论 PCT高浓度对细菌性脓毒症的诊断精确可靠。另外,革兰阴性菌和革兰阳性菌感染者体内降钙素原的浓度明显不同,这可作为两种细菌感染的鉴别依据。

Endogenous estrogen status, but not genistein supplementation, modulates 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced mutation in the liver cII gene of transgenic big blue rats

A growing number of studies suggest that isoflavones found in soybeans have estrogenic activity and may safely alleviate the symptoms of menopause. One of these isoflavones, genistein, is commonly used by postmenopausal women as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy. Although sex hormones have been implicated as an important risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma, there are limited data on the potential effects of the estrogens, including phytoestrogens, on chemical mutagenesis in liver. Because of the association between mutation induction and the carcinogenesis process, we investigated whether endogenous estrogen and supplemental genistein affect 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mutagenesis in rat liver. Intact and ovariectomized female Big Blue rats were treated with 80 mg DMBA/kg body weight. Some of the rats also received a supplement of 1,000 ppm genistein. Sixteen weeks after the carcinogen treatment, the rats were sacrificed, their livers were removed, and mutant frequencies (MFs) and types of mutations were determined in the liver cII gene. DMBA significantly increased the MFs in liver for both the intact and ovariectomized rats. While there was no significant difference in MF between the ovariectomized and intact control animals, the mutation induction by DMBA in the ovariectomized groups was significantly higher than that in the intact groups. Dietary genistein did not alter these responses. Molecular analysis of the mutants showed that DMBA induced chemical-specific types of mutations in the liver cII gene. These results suggest that endogenous ovarian hormones have an inhibitory effect on liver mutagenesis by DMBA, whereas dietary genistein does not modulate spontaneous or DMBA-induced mutagenesis in either intact or ovariectomized rats.

Homer 1b/c通过内质网功能调节由谷氨酸诱发的HT22细胞自噬

目的　研究Homer1b/c蛋白在谷氨酸诱发的细胞自噬中的作用及机制。方法　选用小鼠海马细胞系HT22细胞,通过500 ?mol/L谷氨酸处理建立细胞损伤模型。用siRNA慢病毒转染方式下调Homer1b/c表达和10 ?mol/LBAPTA-AM（1,2-双(2-氨基苯氧基)乙烷-N,N,N`,N`-四乙酸四乙酸甲酯,钙离子螯合剂）、10 mmol/L4-PBA（4-苯基丁酸,内质网应激抑制剂）分别抑制细胞内钙离子释放和内质网应激后,使用蛋白质印迹法检测Homer1b/c,自噬蛋白Beclin-1、微管相关蛋白轻链3（LC3）,以及内质网应激标志蛋白CHOP（人内质网应激相关蛋白）、GRP-78(葡萄糖调节蛋白78)的表达水平。每组实验均进行3次,采用独立样本t检验和单因素方差分析进行统计学分析。结果　谷氨酸处理HT22细胞12 h后,Beclin-1表达和LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ比值均升高（P<0.05）,下调Homer1b/c表达可降低Beclin-1表达和LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ比值的升高程度（P<0.05）。抑制细胞内钙离子释放和抑制内质网应激均能降低Beclin-1表达和LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ比值的升高程度（P<0.05）。然而在下调Homer1b/c表达后,抑制细胞内钙离子释放和抑制内质网应激未能进一步降低Beclin-1表达和LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ比值的升高程度（P<0.05）。结论　Homer1b/c能够调节谷氨酸诱导的自噬,其调节作用可能与内质网功能有关。
