Objective To explore the influence of case management on short-term intensive insulin therapy effect,including treatment compliance,safety and glucose metabolic index in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients in outpatient clinic. Methods A total of 100 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients in outpatient clinic were enrolled in this study and randomly divided into 2 groups:intervention group (n=52)and control group (Con,n = 48 ). The intervention group received standard insulin injection case management provided by a team composed of doctors and nurse case manager. The control group received routine insulin injection education in outpatient. Attitudes and compliance of insulin treatment,incidence of hypoglycemia,fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1 c ) were compared between the two groups at baseline and after 3 months follow up. Results After intervention,the total score and scores by dimension of insulin treatment attitude were higher in intervention group than in Con group[(76.30 ± 4.06 )vs (60.53 ± 3.18 )score,P < 0.01 ]. Insulin treatment compliance was better in intervention group than in Con group (82.7％ vs 64.6％,P < 0.05 ). The hypoglycemia incidence was lower in intervention group than in Con group (19.2％ vs 31.3％,P >0.05),although without statistical difference. FBG and HbA1 c were all lower in intervention group than in Con group [(6.79 ± 1.41 )vs (7.51±1.15)mmol/L,(6.62±0.69)％ vs (7.15±0.75)％,P <0.05]. Conclusion Case management could effectively improve the insulin treatment attitude and compliance,and then optimize glycemic control innewly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients treated with short-term intensive insulin therapy in outpatient clinic.

Objective To investigate the recognition of graded nursing and its influencing factors among nursing assistants in elder homes.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted on 116 nursing assistants.Results The nursing assistants showed insufficient recognition of graded nursing,there were significant differences in role cognition,operation and practice training,salary,and the nursing workload,there were no significant differences in working years and educational levels.Conclusions The recognition of graded nursing was insufficient.It is suggested to increase the role cognition education,enhance the theory and practice training,provide higher salaries and allocate workload reasonably to ensure the implementation of graded nursing and increase the satisfaction level of the elderly.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of butyiphthalide and nimodipine in the treatment of vascular dementia (VAD).Methods Eighty cases with VAD were randomly divided into the treatment group (40 cases) and the control group (40 cases).The control group were given 30 mg nimodipine for three times a day ;The treatment group was given additionally three times a day of 0.2 g butyiphthalide for 12 consecutive weeks.The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE),Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR),and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scores were used for the assessment of cognitive function.The assessments were done before and after treatment.The adverse effects were also recorded.Results In the treatment and the control groups,the MMSE,CDR and ADL scores (MMSE:23.17 ± 1.89,19.43 ± 2.04; CDR:1.06 ± 0.11,1.21 ±0.50;ADL:40.11 ±5.10,41.22 ±4.80) after treatment were significantly improved than those (MMSE:16.54 ± 1.98,16.28 ± 2.11 ; CDR:1.78 ± 0.25,1.75 ± 0.31 ; ADL:47.45 ± 5.22,46.75 ± 5.31) (MMSE:t =2.42,P ＜0.05,t =2.34,P ＜0.05 ;CDR:t =1.67,P ＜ 0.05,t =1.54,P ＜0.05 ;ADL:t =6.73,P ＜0.05,t =5.24,P ＜ 0.05) before treatment.After 12 weeks of treatment,the MMSE,CDR and ADL scores in the butyiphthalide group were significantly improved than that in the control group (t =1.85,1.84,5.91,respectively; P ＜ 0.05).No serious adverse events were recorded during the treatment.Conclusion Butyiphthalide and nimodipine can prominently improve,better than nimodipine alone,the cognitive function of patients with vascular dementia.Moreover,its security and tolerability are good.

Objective To observe the effect and safety of ambroxol combined with antibiotic in treatment the elderly diabetic patients complicated with pneumonia.Methods 86 elderly diabetic patients with pneumonia were selected and divided into observation group and control group according to different treatment options.All the patients were given oxygen,suction,nutrition therapy,postural drainage and basic treatment for diabetes.Cefoperazone sulbactam was given in control group,5.0g dissolved in 150 ml saline,1 time/d.Ambroxol hydrochloride injection was added in observation group,40mg/kg dissolved in 150 ml saline,1 time/d.Body temperature,sputum,leukocyte and chest X-ray were observed and recorded,and the recovery time was recorded.Results 37 cases were cured,6 cases improved in observation group,and the total effective rate was 100.00％.28 cases were cured,12 cases improved in control group,and the total effective rate was 93.02％.The effective rate of the observation group was higher than the control group(P ＜0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reactions in observation group was 6.98％,while 4.65％ in control group,and there was no statistical difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Ambroxol hydrochloride added to antibiotic routine therapy in treatment the elderly diabetic patients complicated with pneumonia couldimprove the cure rate and shorten the healing time.It was worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To establish an HPLC method compatible with the mass spectrometry for the determination of the content and related substances in amlodipine besylate tablets. Methods:The sample was separated on a CAPCELL PAK C18 column (250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm) with the mobile phase consisting of methanol and 20 mmol·L-1 ammonium acetate (60∶40) at a flow rate of 1. 0 ml·min-1 . The detection wavelength was set at 237 nm. The column temperature was 35℃ and the injection volume was 20 μl. Be-sides, an HPLC-QTOF MS method was used to identify the molecular structure of the related substances of amlodipine. Results: The related substances were completely separated from amlodipine. The linear range of amlodipine besylate was 10-100 μg · ml-1 ( r =0. 999 8), and the mean recovery was 99. 2%(RSD=1. 0%,n=9). The main related substances could be detected by HPLC-QTOF MS. Conclusion:The established method is accurate, reliable and reproducible, which can be used in the quality control of amlodip-ine besylate tablets.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of cytokeratin 18 fragment M30 (CK18-M30) and Fas in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD),especially nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).Methods Among 58 patients with NAFLD,36 patients with NAFLD received liver biopsy.According to NAFLD activity score (NAS) and liver fibrosis score,patients were divided into NASH group (24 cases) and non-NASH group (12 cases).And at the same period,15 healthy individuals were set as healthy control group.The serum level of CK18 M30 and Fas were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA).Rank sum test was performed to analyze the differences in the level of CK18-M30 and Fas between groups.The diagnostic value of CK18 M30 and Fas were assessed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.Results The level of serum CK18-M30 of NAFLD group was significantly higher than that of healthy control group (97.24 U/L (86.06 to 113.12 U/L) vs 78.41 U/L (74.29 to 80.76 U/L),Z=-4.206,P＜0.01)).The level of serum CK18-M30 of NASH group was higher than that of non-NASH group (111.06 U/L (94.30 to 142.68 U/L) vs 89.00 U/L (83.56 to 106.50 U/L),Z=-2.233,P＜0.05)).The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of CK18-M30 in the diagnosis of NASH was 0.73 (0.56,0.90),and the sensitivity and specificity of CK18-M30 in diagnosis of NASH was 79.2％ and 58.3％,respectively.The AUC of Fas in diagnosis of NASH was 0.58 (0.38,0.77),while the sensitivity and specificity of Fas in diagnosis of NASH was 54.2％ and 66.7 ％.The serum level of Fas increased in FAFLD group compared with healthy control group,and in NASH group compared with non-NASH group,however the differences were not signifincant (both P＞ 0.05).Conclusions The level of CK18-M30 has certain value in the diagnosis of NASH.The diagnostic value of Fas in NASH needs more samples in further study.
