Objective:To study the effect of insulin intraperitoneal administration combined with dietary intervention on glycemic regulation in in KKAy mice with spontaneous type 2 diabetes.Methods:An animal model of type 2 diabetes was established, and healthy C57BL/6J mice were selected as the normal control group and healthy KKAy mice as the non-disease group. The successfully modeled KKAy mice were randomly divided into the subcutaneous group, the intraperitoneal group, and the untreated group. The non-disease group was given a maintenance diet, and all other groups were fed a high-fat, high-sugar diet. The daily feeding time was from 08:00 to 20:00, with one feeding at a 4-hour interval, for a total of four times. The subcutaneous and intraperitoneal groups were given subcutaneous and intraperitoneal insulin injections before feeding, and recombinant glargine insulin injection (subcutaneous group: 0.125 IU/g; intraperitoneal group: 0.250 IU/g) was injected before the first feeding, and biosynthetic human insulin injection (subcutaneous group: 0.075 IU/g; intraperitoneal group: 0.125 IU/g) was injected after a 0.5 h interval; the rest 3 times before feeding, the biosynthetic human insulin injection (subcutaneous group: 0.075 IU/g; intraperitoneal group: 0.125 IU/g) was injected for 4 weeks. The dietary intake, body mass, fasting blood glucose, and 1 and 2 h postprandial blood glucose of mice in each group were tested regularly, and an oral glucose tolerance test was performed.Results:The total dietary intake of mice in the intraperitoneal group was lower than that in the subcutaneous group. Compared with the initial body mass, the body mass of the mice in the subcutaneous and intraperitoneal groups decreased by 5.05 and 3.59 g at week 4, respectively. The changes of fasting blood glucose in the subcutaneous and intraperitoneal groups ranged from 5.4 to 9.4 and 5.4 to 6.4 mmol/L, respectively, and the changes of 1 h postprandial blood glucose ranged from 4.6 to 12.3 and 5.7 to 8.9 mmol/L, respectively, and the changes of 2 h postprandial blood glucose ranged from 2.5 to 9.8 and 3.8 to 7.1 mmol/L, respectively. For the glucose tolerance index, the intraperitoneal group showed improvement at all time points, and the subcutaneous group showed a decrease at all time points except for 0 and 60 min.Conclusions:In combination with dietary intervention, insulin intraperitoneal injection was more effective in controlling blood glucose in KKAy mice with spontaneous type 2 diabetes compared with subcutaneous insulin injection, and had a significant improvement in glucose tolerance.

Objective:To review experience on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with pancreatic injury.Methods:There were 65 patients with pancreatic injuries who were managed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University between January 1995 and December 2017. After excluding 6 patients with inadequate data and 4 patients with other associated injuries, the remaining 55 patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. All data, including the type of abdominal trauma, general information of patients, clinical manifestations, methods of diagnosis, treatment, operation and complication were collected and analysed. Analyze the cause, degree of injury, treatment measures, treatment results and complications of patients with pancreatic injury.Results:The most common cause of pancreatic injury was traffic accidents (23 patients, 41.8%), with a correct preoperative diagnostic rate of 61.8% for pancreatic injury. Compute tomography (CT) had a significantly higher sensitivity than sonography (80% vs. 37.5%, P<0.05). The number of patients with grade I-V pancreatic injury were 7, 19, 24, 1 and 4, respectively. Sixteen patients were successfully managed by conservative treatment, and 39 patients underwent various surgeries depending on the injury grade. Significantly more patients having severe grades (III-V) underwent surgical treatment than those having mild grades (I-II) (53.8% vs. 86.2%, P<0.05). Two patients died after surgery (mortality rate 5.1%, 2/39). Pancreatic fistula developed in 29 patients (74.4%), intra-abdominal infection in 10 patients (25.6%) and these were the main surgical complications. Patients having severe grades had a significantly higher pancreatic fistula rate than those having mild grades. Pancreatic pseudocyst was the most common complication on long-term follow-up (8 patients, 14.5%). This complication was significantly higher in patients who were managed with consecutive treatment than with operation (31.2% vs. 7.7%, P<0.05). Conclusions:The preoperative diagnosis of pancreatic injury was difficult, and CT should be the first line investigation. Grade I -II injuries could be managed by conservative treatment, while grade III-V should be treated by operations. The most common short- and long-term complications of pancreatic injury were pancreatic fistula and pancreatic pseudocyst, respectively.

Objective:To study the effect of insulin intraperitoneal injection on abnormal blood lipid intype 2 diabetic KKAy mice.Methods:Type 2 diabetic mice model was established by feeding high fat and high sugar diet. KKAy model mice were randomly divided into intraperitoneal injection group ( n=6), subcutaneous injection group ( n=6) and no-treatment group ( n=3). At the same time, healthy C57BL/6J mice were selected as normal group ( n=6), and healthy KKAy mice as disease-free group ( n=6). The treatment process was divided into two stages. The first stage consists of 6 weeks, in which the mice in the intraperitoneal and subcutaneous groups were treated with insulin intraperitoneally and subcutaneously respectively. The second stage consists of 4 weeks, in which the mice in intraperitoneal and subcutaneous groups were subcutaneously injected with insulin. The mice in the remaining 3 groups were not treated. The changes of related indicators were detected every two weeks, including body weight, fasting blood sugar, 2 hours after meal blood sugar, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Results:Changing the injection solution in the medium term of the treatment had no effect on the body mass and blood sugar of KKAy mice with type 2 diabetes. Under this condition, the effect of intraperitoneal injection of insulin on HDL-C and LDL-C is significantly better than that of subcutaneous injection. Besides, both injection solutions are effective in regulating TG, but the effect of reducing total cholesterol is not obvious.Conclusions:The intraperitoneal injection of insulin has a certain effect on the blood lipid abnormality of type 2 diabetic KKAy mice. It can promote the increase of HDL-C, the decrease of LDL-C, and the decrease of TG.

Objective To analyse the consistency of perioperative self-reported pain scores of lung cancer patients with clinical records to provide a basis for optimal pain management. Methods The patients with lung cancer who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Sichuan Cancer Hospital from November 2017 to January 2020 were selected. They were divided into two groups based on the source of pain data. The self-report group used a questionnaire in which patients self-reported their pain scores, and the pain scores for the clinical record group were extracted from the electronic medical record system. Kappa test was used to compare the concordance of pain scores between the two groups preoperatively, on postoperative 1-6 days and on the day of discharge. McNemar's paired χ2 test was used to compare the differences in pain intensity levels between the two groups. Binary logistic multi-factor regression was used to analyse the factors influencing the concordance of severe pain (7-10 points) between the two groups. Results Totally 354 patients were collected, including 191 males and 163 females, with an average age of 55.64± 10.34 years. The median postoperative hospital stay was 6 days. The consistency of pain scores between the two groups was poor (Kappa=–0.035 to 0.262, P<0.05), and the distribution of pain levels at each time point was inconsistent and statistically significant (P<0.001). The percentage of inconsistent severe pain assessment ranged from 0.28% to 35.56%, with the highest percentage of inconsistent severe pain assessment on postoperative day 1 (35.56%). Single-port thoracoscopic surgical access was an influencing factor for inconsistent assessment of severe pain on postoperative day 3 (OR=2.571, P=0.005). Conclusion Self-reported perioperative pain scores of lung cancer patients are poorly aligned with clinical records. Clinical measures are needed to improve the accuracy of patient pain data reporting by choosing the correct assessment method, increasing education, and developing effective quality control measures.

The number of investigator initiated research (IIR) is increasing. But the recognition and management of IIR in China is still in its infancy, and there is a lack of specific and operable guidance for the implementation process. Based on our practical experiences, previous literature reports, and current policy regulations, the authors took prospective IIR as an example to summarize the implementation process of IIR into 14 steps, which are as the following: study initiation, ethical review, study registration, study filing, case report form design, database establishment, standard operating procedure making, investigator training, informed consent, data collection, data entry, data verification, data locking and data archiving.

Telephone follow-up is one of the important ways to follow up patients. High-quality follow-up can benefit both doctors and patients. However, clinical research-related follow-up is often faced with problems such as time-consuming, laborious and poor patient compliance. The authors belong to a team that has been committed to the study of patient-reported outcomes for a long time. The team has carried out long-term follow-up of symptoms, daily function and postoperative complications of more than 1 000 patients after lung cancer surgery, and accumulated certain experience. In this paper, the experience of telephone follow-up was summarized and discussed with relevant literatures from the aspects of clarifying the purpose of clinical research follow-up, understanding the needs of patients in follow-up, and using follow-up skills.
