As the world is facing a sudden public health crisis and an aging population, mobile payment products are widely used in the epidemic because of their ease of transaction and contactless security. However, data show that there are few mobile payment users over 60 years old in China, and this emerging digital technology has excluded many silver-haired generations. Through market research, product analysis, and user interviews, this study finds that the reasons for the low usage of mobile payment products by older users in Chinese society include: poor product inclusiveness and the lack of acceptance of digital products by older people. Most research in this area has focused on using technology acceptance model (TAM) and creating "elder models" specifically for the elderly. However, traditional TAM and polarized "normal model" and "elderly model" product models have made it difficult to expand the inclusiveness of products. This study innovatively introduces an inclusive design approach to constructing a TAM to optimize existing mobile payment products. The study selects WeChat Pay, which has the highest usage rate in China, as the research object. Through qualitative and quantitative survey methods, the study deeply investigates the pain points and needs of silver-haired people and integrates them with the needs of regular users, distills the key influencing elements in the new model to build an inclusive TAM, and finally gives recommendations for inclusive and age-appropriate design. The optimized design of WeChat Payments is based on the recommendations. Finally, the usability test is conducted with 15 elderly and 15 normal users to verify that the optimized design is inclusive.
Several studies have reported that individuals engaging in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), especially borderline personality disorder (BPD), feel no or little pain during acts of NSSI. While individuals without comorbid mental disorders make the pain perception complex. Pain sensitivity, including pain threshold and tolerance, may be regarded as an indicator of engagement of NSSI, particularly NSSI-induced suicide. So, the meta-analysis aimed to collect the current evidence on pain sensitivity among individuals engaging in NSSI and to identify the correlation between them. Five databases were searched, and 20 studies were included based on inclusion criteria after screening 451 abstracts by two independent reviewers. Random effects and meta-analysis were performed on pain threshold, pain tolerance, and odds ratio (OR). Importantly, diagnostic criteria, covering the diagnostic and statistical manual mental disorders-IV (DSM-IV), DSM-V, clinical interview, questionnaire, and not mentioned criteria (N), and different groups, such as BPD with NSSI and NSSI, were subjected to subgroup meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed significant main effects associated with large effect sizes for included outcomes, which revealed individuals with NSSI appearing greater pain threshold and pain tolerance than those without NSSI. Diagnostic criteria and different groups are the main factors of heterogeneity. We also found that pain sensitivity is not correlated to NSSI which may attribute to NSSI diagnostic criteria. More studies should need to investigate the relationship between pain sensitivity and NSSI based on NSSI diagnostic criteria. Pain sensitivity may be considered a predictive factor for clinical application in the future.Funding Information: NSFC grant (81822017, 31771215), National Key R&D Program of China (2020YFA0113600), Natural Science Foundation of Zhejiang Province, China (No. LY19H090015).Declaration of Interests: All authors declare no competing interests.
Objective:To evaluate the outcome of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of colorectal tumors, and to analyze the factors affecting the therapeutic efficacy of ESD.Methods:Clinical data of patients with colorectal tumors who were treated with ESD in Department of Gastroenterology in Beijing Hospital from November 2016 to December 2019 were reviewed. A total of 82 patients with pathologically confirmed colorectal adenoma or carcinoma of diameter ≥20 mm were included. The clinical features, ESD and pathological outcomes of the patients were analyzed.Results:All 82 lesions were single, with the mean diameter of 29.72±10.74 mm. Lesions were divided into the laterally spreading tumors (LST), mainly located in the ascending colon and ileocecal region (47.8%, 22 / 46) and the protruding colorectal tumors, mainly located in the left colon, 52.8% (19 / 36) of which were located in the sigmoid colon. The overall resection rate was 81.7%(67/82) and the curative resection rate was 72.0%(59/82). The incidences of bleeding and perforation were 2.4%(2/82) and 1.2%(1/82), respectively. The curative resection rates [91.4%(32/35), 63.6%(7/11) and 55.6%(20/36), P=0.003] and surgical operation rates [8.6%(3/35), 18.2%(2/11) and 36.1%(13/36), P=0.010] of LST-G, LST-NG and protruding colorectal tumors were significantly different. Multivariate regression analysis showed that protruding colorectal tumor ( OR=3.396, 95% CI: 1.014-11.374, P=0.047) and submucosal severe fibrosis (F2 type) ( OR=5.508, 95% CI: 2.216-13.692, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for non-curative ESD resection of colorectal tumors. Conclusion:ESD is effective and safe for colorectal tumors of diameter ≥ 20 mm. However, there are some differences in the rate of submucosal invasion and treatment outcome among different types of lesions. The risk factors for non-curative resection are protruding tumors and severe submucosal fibrosis.
Objective To explore the changes in microbial composition and the corresponding impact after lactitol treatment in constipated patients. Methods Altogether 29 consecutive outpatients diagnosed with chronic constipation from three centers were recruited and stratified based on their history of diabetes mellitus. All patients were administered with oral lactitol for 2 weeks, and a symptoms diary of constipation was recorded. Fecal samples were collected before and after lactitol treatment, and were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect gut microbiota. Results Twenty patients with diabetes mellitus and nine without, all with chronic constipation, were enrolled in this study. After 2-week administration of lactitol, their subscale scores and constipation symptoms significantly decreased (P < 0.05). An analysis of fecal flora using 16S rRNA sequencing found an increasing trend of abundance ofBifidobacteriumin the post-lactitol group (P= 0.08). Actinobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bifidobacteriales, Bifidobacteriaceae andBifidobacteriumwere significantly more abundant after lactitol administration. Real-time PCR showed significantly high DNA copy numbers ofBifidobacteriumafter lactitol treatment (1.39 x 10(10)vs 2.74 x 10(9)copies/mu L,P= 0.01). The results of 16S rRNA sequencing and real-time PCR illustrated an increasing trend ofBifidobacteriumin both patients with and without diabetes. In addition,Bifidobacteriumwas negatively correlated with constipation subscale scores. Conclusions Alterations in fecal flora composition after lactitol supplementation, especially in terms of an increasing trend ofBifidobacterium, alleviated constipation symptoms. Lactitol may be a promising prebiotic candidate for patients with constipation, regardless of diabetes mellitus.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Oryz-Aspergillus enzyme and pancreatin tablets (Combizym(®)) in the treatment of postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) in the elderly, compared with gastrointestinal motility drugs. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial was designed and registered in the China Clinical Trials Registry (ChiCTR-IPR-16008185). The elderly patients with PDS were randomly divided into three groups, including Mosapride group with Mosapride citrate tablets 5 mg 3 times per day for 2 weeks; Combizym(®) group with Combizym tablets 244 mg 3 times per day for 2 weeks; combined treatment group with both drugs and same doses for 2 weeks. The modified Nepean dyspepsia index (NDSI) score, discomfort intensity score and PDS score were calculated on patients before treatment, at the end of first and second week of treatment, as well as 4 weeks after treatment finished, respectively. Adverse effects were evaluated. Results: A total of 323 patients from 16 tertiary hospitals in China were enrolled in this study. Among them, 105 patients were in Mosapride group, 109 in Combizym(®) group and 109 in combined treatment group. There were 148 males (45.8%) and 175 females (54.2%) with median age 71.4±9.0 years (60-100 years). Baseline characteristics of three groups were comparable. After treatment, the NDSI scores in three groups all decreased significantly (P<0.001), while they were similar between groups (P>0.05). The discomfort intensity score and PDS score in three groups showed a significant reduction after treatment (P<0.001), especially in the combined treatment group. Compared with Mosapride group, the scores in Combizym(®) group decreased significantly after one or two weeks [discomfort intensity score: after one week, 4.0(2.5, 8.0) vs. 6.0(3.0, 10.0); after two weeks, 3.0(0.0, 5.0) vs. 4.0(2.0, 6.0); all P<0.05. PDS score: after one week, 6.0(3.0, 9.0) vs. 7.0(3.5, 10.5); after two weeks, 3.0(0.0, 5.0) vs. 4.0(2.0, 7.0); all P<0.05]. The efficacy rate in all patients after first week of treatment was over 15.0%. The efficacy rates after two weeks were 55.2%, 68.8% and 73.4% in Mosapride group, Combizym(®) group and combined treatment group, respectively. After two week treatment, the efficacy rates in Combizym(®) group (P=0.041) and combined group (P=0.006) were higher than that of Mosapride group. The recurrence rate of Mosapride group was 9.5%, which was significantly higher than that of Combizym(®) group (1.8%, P<0.05) and combined treatment group (1.8%, P<0.05). There were no serious adverse effects in the three groups. Conclusions: The efficacy of Oryz-Aspergillus enzyme and pancreatin tablets is comparable with that of Mosapride in elderly PDS patients, with fewer adverse effects and low recurrence rate. Combination regimen indicates better efficacy than that of Oryz-Aspergillus enzyme and pancreatin tablets or Mosapride alone.

本文报道了1例老年男性患者,因消化道出血就诊,既往曾行经皮冠状动脉支架介入手术,术后双联抗血小板治疗,胶囊内镜检查提示小肠多发隔膜样狭窄伴溃疡糜烂,符合非甾体类抗炎药引起小肠黏膜损伤表现。但追问病史,患者服用双联抗血小板药物治疗前曾有过小肠不全梗阻病史,因此小肠黏膜的病变是先天存在还是药物相关尚值得思考。
Aim: We compared the effects of 50% N2O and N2O titration in burn management to alleviate pain and anxiety associated with burn dressing. Methods: In this single-blind prospective randomized controlled trial, 70 stable adult burn patients were randomized to 2 groups during May 2015 to January 2016. The experimental group was titrated with N2O ranging from 30% to the ideal sedation concentration before dressing change until the end. The control group was treated with 50% N2O 2 minutes before dressing change until the end. Pain, anxiety, vital signs, and the highest concentrations of N2O inhaled were recorded at 1 minute before N2O inhalation (T0), dismantling of outer (T1), inner dressings (T2), debridement (T3), drug-smearing (T4), bandaging (T5), and 10 minutes after completion of the procedure (T6). Results: The pain and anxiety scores in the experimental group performed significantly less than the control group during T2-T6. The systolic blood pressure in T2 and the heart rate at T2 and T3 varied significantly between the 2 groups. The highest N2O concentrations of the experimental group were mainly 60% to 70% at T2 (87.9%), T3 (87.9%), and T4 (81.8%). Conclusion: N2O titration significantly reduced pain and anxiety in burn patients, with minimal side effects.
