Objective To investigate the relationship between neck circumference and metabolic syndrome(MS) and its components in type 2 diabetes Methods A total of 272 subjects with type 2 diabetes were recruited.According to the diagnostic criteria of MS,all subjects were divided into MS group and non-MS group.According to neck circumference tertile,all subjects were respectively divided into male and female of three groups to analyze the relationship between neck circumference and MS and its components.Male:Q1<38.8 cm,Q2=(38.8-41.3) cm,Q3≥41.4 cm;female:Q1<34.0 cm,Q2=34.0-36.3 cm,Q3≥36.4 cm.The optimal cut-off points of neck circumference were used to determine the MS by ROC curve.Results (1) Compared with non-MS group,subjects in MS group had significantly higher neck circumference((38.3±3.2)cm vs.(36.1±3.7) cm),waist circumference((94.1±8.4) cm vs.(82.7±10.8) cm),waist-hip ratio(0.93±0.06 vs.0.88± 0.08),body mass index ((26.2 ± 2.9) kg/m2 vs.(23.9 ± 3.5) kg/m2),fasting plasma glucose(9.0(6.7-11.5) mmol/L vs.7.7(5.9-10.2) mmol/L),systolic pressure(140(130-150) mmHg vs.130 (120-130) mmHg),diastolic pressure (80 (80-90) mmHg vs.80 (75-85) mmHg),triglycerides (1.9(1.4-2.8) mmol/L vs.1.2 (0.9-1.5) mmol/L),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ((3.3 ± 1.0)mmol/L vs.(3.0±0.9) mmol/L) and blood uric acid((322.7±90.1) mmol/L vs.(270.3±82.3) mmol/L),and the differences were significant(t or Z=-4.843,-8.622,-5.157,-5.592,-2.729,-5.723,-3.847,-6.856,-2.123,-4.545;P<0.05).While the level of total cholesterol((2.7±2.8) mmol/L vs.(4.9±1.3)mmol/L) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (1.0 (0.8-1.2) mmol/L vs.1.2 (1.1-1.5)mmol/L) were decreased,and the differences were significant (t or Z =-2.269,-7.068;P < 0.05).(2)Compared with those with lowest tertiles(Q1 <38.8 cm) of neck circumference,male subjects with highest tertile (Q3≥41.4 cm) had higher level of waist circumference((97.8±8.6) cm vs.(89.9±8.5) cm),waist-hip rati (0.96±0.07 vs.0.93±0.06),body mass index((27.4±2.1) kg/m2 vs.(23.8±2.3) kg/m2),blood uric acid ((374.0±85.6) mmol/L vs.(305.8±73.6) mmol/L),and the differences were significant(P<0.05).While age((52.1±10.7) years vs.(60.4±11.8) years) andHDL-C((1.0±0.3) mmol/Lvs.(1.2±0.5) mmol/L) were decreased,and the differences were significant (P<0.05).Female subjects with higher tertile (Q3 ≥ 36.4 cm) had significantly higher level of waist circumference ((96.8 ± 10.1) cm vs.(79.5 ± 8.5) cm),waist-hip ratio(0.94±0.07 vs.0.86±0.06),body mass index((28.5±3.1) kg/m2 vs.(21.9±2.2) kg/m2),blood uric acid((295.2±94.3) mmol/L vs.(244.6±62.3) mmol/L),the frequency of MS(83.3%(40/48)vs.21.7%(10/46)) than with lower tertile(Q1<34.0 cm).(3) Logistic regression analysis showed that neck circumference (β =0.187,P < 0.001) was an independent risk factor of MS (y =0.187x-6.613).(4) The optimal cut-off points of neck circumference to MS were 40.1 cm (AUC =0.682,P=>0.008) in male,and 35.3cm (AUC =0.766,P< 0.001) in female.Conclusion Neck circumference increases when type 2 diabetes patients with MS.Neck circumference is an independent risk factor for MS,which can be used as an indicator to evaluate MS.

Objective To investigate the early predictive indexes of curative effect of acute respiratory failure(AFR) treated with noninvasive bilevel positive airway pressure(BiPAP) ventilation.Methods Sixty-eight patients with AFR were treated with BiPAP ventilation.According to the therapeutic outcome,patients were divided into success group and failure group,and the distributions of ages,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation(APACHEⅡ) score,consciousness level as well as arterial blood gas(ABG) measurement before and after the treatment with BiPAP ventilation were compared between the two groups.Results There was statistical difference in the ABG levels of pH and PaCO_2 after 1 hour's treatment with BiPAP ventilation(P0.05).Conclusion The levels of pH and PaCO_2 after 1 hour's treatment with BiPAP ventilation are valuable markers for curative effects in early stadge.If the levels of pH and PaCO_2 fail to improve,the treatment with intubation may be necessary.

Objective To compare the comprehension monitoring in reading between students with and without hearing impairment. Methods An error detection paradigm and an eye-movement recordings method were used in two samples of hearing impairment students and no-hearing impairment students with passages that contained inconsistencies with interval 2 sentences, 4 sentences, 6 sentences and 8 sentences. Results The scores of reading comprehension, the index of tradition monitoring and the index of eye movement were lower in the hearing impairment students than in the no-hearing impairment students (P<0.05). Conclusion The comprehension monitoring ability in reading is poor in the hearing impairment students.

As the number and proportion of aging population increase,dementia has posed tremendous challenges to the sustainable social and economic development of many countries in the world.Thus,dementia has been identified as a global public health priority.Clinically,there is currently no cure for dementia.However,in the past decades epidemiological research has suggested that cardiovascular risk factors and psychosocial factors over the life-course could significantly affect the risk of dementia occurrence later in life.Of these factors,smoking,diabetes,and midlife hypertension,obesity,and high cholesterol might contribute to the clinical onset of late-life dementia by causing cerebral macro-and microvascular damage and neurodegeneration,whereas high educational attainments in early life and social engagement,physical and mentally-stimulating activities during adulthoods might help maintain late-life cognitive function by increasing cognitive reserve.Thus,theoretically clinical onset of dementia is likely to be postponed by implementing interventions targeting these factors over the lifespan.In recent years,evidence from research in Europe and North America has emerged that multimodal interventions that consist of intensive control of cardiovascular risk factors,balanced diets,physical activity,and cognitive training may help maintain cognitive function among individuals at risk for dementia.We call that population intervention research against dementia should be strengthened in China.Identifying the intervention programmes against dementia that are effective specifically among Chinese population is of high relevance for developing the national dementia action plan,and thus effectively dealing with the huge challenges by dementia.
