“…NSIP (56.3%) was the most frequent HRCT pattern. Compared with pSS patients with ILD (pSS-ILD) patients, sSS patients with ILD (sSS-ILD) patients had a higher incidence of proteinuria (p < .001) and hypercreatinaemia (p = .013), a higher level of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (p = .003), low levels of complement 3 (C3) (p = .013), lymphocytes (p = .009) and leukocytes (p = .024), and worse DLCO (%Pred) (p = .035).Conclusions ILD is a common pulmonary involvement in both pSS patients and sSS patients. …”

Examining the Spatial Disequilibrium and Driving Factors of Population Aging and Elderly Service Resource Allocation in Rural Areas: A Case Study of Wenzhou City by Xiang Xiaoye, Lin Liyue, Xu Shiyu, Huang Tao

“…The results can be summarized as follows: 1) As Wenzhou enters a deeply aging society, the spatial distribution of the elderly population, elderly population density, population aging coefficient, elderly population support ratio, and comprehensive aging index are basically the same, showing a gradually increasing spatial pattern from the municipal district to the peripheral streets of the municipal district to the remote towns; 2) Elderly care service resources in Wenzhou present an asymmetrical and unbalanced north-south spatial distribution pattern with the municipal districts as " diversified supply in municipal streets, basic guarantee in developed coastal towns, and shortage of supply in inland mountainous towns "; 3) The streets of the municipal district have rich elderly care service resources, including Grade 3 general hospitals and comprehensive nursing homes, to provide diversified elderly care services for the elderly in the municipal district; there are many old-age care facilities such as hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes in Ruian, Yueqing City, and central towns such as Hongqiao and Aojiang, which provide basic old-age security for the elderly in and around the area. …”
