Objective To investigate the effect of continuous health education on the control of glucose and the changes of behavior. Methods One hundred and twenty-six newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group,each group included 63 patients. The control group just received health education in hospitalization period,and the observation group received continuous health education both in and after hospitalization. The control of glucose and the changes of behavior were evaluated 3 months and 1 year later. Results After 3 months and 1 year treatment,the FPG,2hPG and HbA1c were significantly decreased compared to pre-treatment both in control group and observation group(P<0. 05). The FPG,2hPG and HbA1c were significantly decreased in the ob-servation group compared to the control groups(P<0. 05). The behaviors contained that mastery of diabetic knowledge,control of food in-take,persist in physical exercise, rational administration, self-monitoring of blood glucose and regular reexamination were significantly im-proved both in control group and observation group compared to pre-treatment (P<0. 05),and the behaviors were significantly improved in the observation group compared to the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion Compared to control group,observation group had more ad-vantages in the control of glucose and the changes of behavior in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients.

Background Conjunctivochalasis (CCh) is a common age-related ocular surface diseases.Researches showed that the inflammatory factors are upregulated in conjunctiva and tear of CCh patients,inferring inflammation participates in the pathogenesis of CCh,however,its mechanism is unclear now.Studies also showed that the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in CCh conjunctiva is elevated.However,the association between inflammatory factors and MMPs is unknown.Objective This research was to observe the effects of tumor necrosisfactor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β) on the expression of MMP-1,MMP-3,tumor necrosis factor-stimulatedgene-6(TSG-6) and pentraxin-3 (PTX3) in cultured CCh fibroblasts.Methods Conjunctival fibroblasts wereisolated and cultured from CCh-derived and cataract-derived human conjunctiva explants.The cells were treated using20 ng/ml PBS,TNF-α or IL-1β for 4 hours,respectively.The expression levels of MMP-1,MMP-3,TSG-6 and PTX3genes and proteins were detected by quantitative real time PCR and Western blot assay,respectively.Results Thesecond-generation cells showed a long and fusiform shape with ovoid nucleus and radial agreement,and the cellprocessors connected each other.The differences of the relative expression levels of MMP-1,MMP-3,TSG-6 and PTX3mRNA in the cells were significantly different between CCh group and cataract group after being treated by PBS,TNF-αand IL-1 β (MMP-1 mRNA:Fgroup =2.611,P =0.116;Fi =161.564,P =0.000;MMP-3 mRNA:Fgroup =5.201,P =0.029;Fintervene =211.021,P =0.000;TSG-6 mRNA:Fgroup =47.209,P =0.000;Fintervene =119.340,P =0.000;PTX3 mRNA:Fgroup =40.512,P =0.000;Fintervene =93.935,P =0.000).Compared with the cataract group with PBS treatment,the expression levels of MMP-1,MMP-3,TSG-6 and PTX3 mRNA were significantly elevated in the CCh group with PBS treatment or the cataract group with TNF-α and IL-1 β treatment (all at P<0.05).Compared with the CCh group with PBS treatment,the expression levels of MMP-1,MMP-3,TSG-6 and PTX3 mRNA were significantly elevated in the CCh group with TNF-α and IL-1β treatment (all at P < 0.05).The differences of the relative expression levels of MMP-1,MMP-3,TSG-6 and PTX3 proteins in the cells were significantly different between CCh group and cataract group after being treated by PBS,TNF-α and IL-1 β (MMP-1:Fgroup =84.702,P =0.000;Fint =48.900,P =0.000;MMP-3:Fgroup =112.818,P =0.000;Fint =194.980,P =0.000;TSG-6:Fgroup =56.867,P =0.000;Fint =70.356,P =0.000;PTX3:Fgroup =1.488,P =0.231;Fint =89.872,P =0.000),and the expression changes of MMP-1,MMP-3,TSG-6 and PTX3 proteins were coincident with the genes among the groups with various treatments.Conclusions The expressions of MMP-1,MMP-3,TSG-6 and PTX3 in conjunctival fibroblasts are upregulated in CCh eyes.The interaction of TNF-α and IL-1 β with MMPs is probably involved with the pathogenesis and development MMPs probably.

Objective:To explore the application of microteaching combined with hierarchical training in the teaching of standardized training for nurses in the department of endocrinology.Methods:A total of 80 nurses in the endocrinology department from February 2020 to February 2021 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and a study group, with 40 ones in each group. The control group adopted traditional teaching and the research group adopted microteaching combined with hierarchical training. After the standardized training, the two groups of nurses were subjected to theoretical assessment, practical skills assessment, clinical practice ability improvement, the satisfaction of the assessment team and inpatients with the nurses, and the incidence of adverse events during the standardized training of the two groups of nurses. SPSS 22.0 was performed for t test and chi-square test. Results:After the training, the research group's theoretical and practical skills assessment scores were better than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.001); the improvement of clinical practice ability of the research group was better than that of the control group, with statistical significance ( P<0.001); the satisfaction rate of nurses in the research group (assessment group and patients) was better than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.001). During the standardized training of nurses, there were statistically significant differences in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups of nurses ( χ2=5.165, P=0.023). Conclusion:The application of microteaching combined with hierarchical training can help improve the level of theoretical and practical skills of nurses in the endocrinology department, improve nurses' clinical work ability and patient satisfaction rate, effectively reduce the incidence of adverse events, and build a harmonious relationship between doctors, nurses and patients.
