Objective To investigate the correlation between diabetic distress and coping styles among patients with type 2 diabetes. Method One hundred inpatients with type 2 diabetes were engaged in the investigation of their diabetes distress and coping styles by the diabetes distress scale (DDS) and medical coping modes questionnaire (MCMQ) and the correlation between them. Results The average score of diabetic distress was (2.17 ± 0.71), which was at mild level. 57%of them were at the higher level of diabetic distress. Confrontation and avoidance dimensions were lower than the norm in coping styles, and the acceptance dimension was higher than the norm (all P<0.01). The average scores of diabetic distress, regimen-related distress and physician-related distress subscales were negatively correlated with confrontation (all P<0.05). The average score on diabetic distress and the subscales were positively correlated with avoidance and acceptance dimension (all P<0.01). Conclusions Diabetic distress is prevalent in type 2 diabetic patients and the degree of positive coping is still not insufficient. The diabetic distress is negatively correlated to the confrontation, and positively correlated to the avoidance and the acceptance dimension. The medical staff should instruct the patients to adopt positive coping styles, and avoid negative coping styles to reduce diabetic distress. It will be conductive to the physical and mental rehabilitation of the patients as well.

OBJECTIVE:To explore an effective method to formulate management-related strategies for off-lable use of drugs by the evidence-based medicine. METHODS:The process of guideline formulation included seven procedures,i.g. establishment ofguideliesformulation workgroup;investigation and selection of the status quo on off-label drug use;identification of the clinical problems;retrieval and evaluation and comprehensing of evidence;applification of GRADE in evidence quality grading;formation of the recommendations consensus;peer review and result publication. And eventually guidelines were formed based on the steps. This study took off-label use of rheumatoid immunoprotective subjects as a case to explore. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:Based on the evidence evaluation system and above 7 steps,the methods and process of guideline formulation on off-label use of rheuma-toid immunoprotective subjects that integrated administration,law,clinical medicine,pharmacy subjects were made .The process of guideline formulation fully reflects multidisciplinary characteristics of the workgroup,the advanced nature of the process,the comprehensiveness of evidence ,the rigor of evidence quality grading,and the normalization of consensus. It provides reference in methodology for establishing a comprehensive evidence-based evaluation and management system of off-label use of drugs for all clinical specialist disease. Therefore,this scientific research results may promote the standardization and legalization of the off-label use of drugs management in China.

Objective: To study the causes and influencing factors of no seeking medical treatment among pneumoconiosis patients. Methods: Using stratified sampling method and typical survey method, we carried out the questionnaire survey in nine provinces in China including the east, the medium and the western region using a questionnaire on the seeking medical behavior pf pneumoconiosis patients and the influencing factors. The subjects include occupational pneumoconiosis cases and clinically diagnosed cases and the response rate is 94.3 percent. The data was entered twice with epidate3.1 and error detection and statistical analysis was completed with SPSS 20.0. Chi-square test was used for univariate analysis, and multivariate logistic regression was used for multivariate analysis. Results: One thousand and thirty-seven subjects were investigated with average age 55.9±11.2 years. Seventy percent of them were silicosis and 21.9 percent were coal worker’s pneumoconiosis with 67.5 percent of them residing permanently in the countryside, and 37.9 percent of their education background were primary school culture and 33.1 percent of them had junior high school culture. Thirty two point six percent of respondents had no personal income with a median monthly income of 1 200 yuan. Four hundred and thirty four of subjects hadn't seek medical treatment since they got the pneumoconiosis accounting for 41.9 percent with three hundred and thirty seven of them hospitalized directly. The reasons of no seeking medical treatment for the respondents mainly include the self-induction symptoms lighter, the high cost of treatment and cannot claiming the payment of the medical expenses, buying drugs in drugstore, thinking that no medicine can cure pneumoconiosis or no effect, complex procedures, too far away from medical institutions, no unaccompanied, needing a long time or no time, communication disorders, etc. accounting for 44.4 percent, 24.6 percent, 10.9 percent, 9.1 percent, 6.9 percent, 4.4percent, 3.2 percent, 2.9 percent, 1.9 percent, 1.5 percent, respectively. The results of multivariate analysis showed the main characteristics of subjects with restrictions to the outpatient health service utilization are as follows: demographic sociological indicators such as registered permanent residence area is western (OR_western=2.18, 95%CI:1.38-3.43) , more than seventy five years old (OR_{over 75}=6.82, 95%CI:2.04-22.9) , unemployment, temporary or permanent employment (OR _unemployment=1.90, 95%CI:1.17-3.08; OR_{temporary employment}=3.11, 95%CI:1.57-6.14; OR_{permanent employment}=2.10, 95%CI:1.18-3.74) , self-rated health score of 50 or above (OR_{self-rated-70}=2.04, 95%CI:1.18-3.51; OR_{self-rated-90}=3.00, 95%CI:1.97-5.37; OR_{self-rated 90}=2.95, 95%CI:1.74-8.07) ; with increase to the outpatient health service utilization are breath with difficulty (OR=0.57, 95%CI:0.41-0.78) , emphysema (OR=0.48, 95%CI:0.26-0.90) , hospitalized with pneumo-coniosis (OR=0.12, 95%CI:0.07-0.20) . Conclusion Pneumoconiosis patients no covered by injury insurance should be orderly included in the basic medical security system, and be given the medical treatment actively; It should be strengthened the health management for the pneumoconiosis patients and correctly guided the utilization of medical services.

ObjectiveThis article aims to investigate the association between hypertension and the risk of GSD by conducting a national multicenter study， a systematic review， and a meta-analysis. MethodsThe study was conducted in three stages. In the first stage， subjects were recruited for health examination in four hospitals in Chengdu， Tianjin， Beijing， and Chongqing， China， from 2015 to 2020， and the multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between hypertension and the risk of GSD in each center. In the second stage， Embase， PubMed， Wanfang Data， VIP， and CNKI databases were searched for related studies published up to May 2021， and a meta-analysis was conducted to further verify such association. In the third stage， the random effects model was used for pooled analysis of the results of the multicenter cross-sectional study and the findings of previous literature. ResultsA total of 633 948 participants were enrolled in the cross-sectional study， and the prevalence rate of GSD was 7.844%. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension was positively associated with the risk of GSD（P<0.05）. Subgroup analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the association between hypertension and GSD between individuals with different sexes， ages， and subtypes of GSD. A total of 80 articles were included in the systematic review and the meta-analysis， and the results showed that the risk of GSD was increased by 1.022 times for every 10 mmHg increase in diastolic pressure and 1.014 times for every 10 mmHg increase in systolic pressure. ConclusionHypertension significantly increases the risk of GSD， and the findings of this study will provide a basis for the etiology of GSD and the identification of high-risk groups.
