Journal of Preventive Medicine 2023;35(2):162-165
Objective:
To investigate the quality of life and its influencing factors among patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), so as to provide insights into the improvements in the quality of life among patients with GDM.
Methods:
GDM patients admitted to Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hangzhou First People's Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University Medical School from June 2021 to June 2022 were recruited. Participants' demographics, diagnosis and treatment, sleep quality, depression and social support level were collected. Patients' quality of life was evaluated using the Quality of Life Scale for Pregnant Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, and the factors affecting the quality of life were identified among patients with GDM using a multivariable linear regression model.
Results:
A total of 300 questionnaires were allocated, and 284 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 94.67%. The respondents had a mean age of (32.81±4.93) years, and the mean scores for the quality of life was (92.63±14.10) points. Multivariable linear regression analysis identified depression (β'=-0.293), sleep disorder (β'=-0.177), insulin therapy (β'=-0.316), regular exercise (β'=0.272) and social support level (medium: β'=0.153; high: β'=0.381) as factor affecting the quality of life among GDM patients.
Conclusions
GDM patients have a low quality of life. Depression, sleep disorders, insulin therapy, and lack of exercises may cause a decline in the quality of life among GDM patients, and strong social support facilitates the improvements in the quality of life among GDM patients.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of the bacterial strains isolated from blood cultures in neonatal septicemia children of Neonatology Department, the First People's Hospital of Chuzhou during Jan. 2017-Dec. 2021, in order to guide clinical rational drug use. Methods The distribution and the results of antimicrobial susceptibility tests and characteristics of the pathogenic bacteria isolated from blood culture samples in neonatal septicemia children in the First Hospital of Chuzhou from Jan. 2017 to Dec. 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The results were analyzed with WHONET 5.6 software, according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) 2021 breakpoints. Results A total of 189 strains were isolated from the 4 538 sample of blood cultures, the positive rate was 4.2%, including 59(31.2%) Gram-negative bacterial strains, 130 (68.8%) Gram-positive bacterial strains. The most frequently isolates were coagulase-negative staphylococci(64.0%), Serratia liquefaciens (15.9%), Escherichia coli (3.2%), Acinetobacter lwoffii (2.6%) and Delftia acidovorans (2.6%). The prevalence of methicillin-resistant isolates was 81.8%(99/121) in coagulase-negative Staphylococci and 25.0%(1/4) in Staphylococcus aureus. No staphylococcal strains were found resistant to vancomycin, quinupristin-dalfopristin or linezolid. The sensitivity of the antibacterial drug monitored by Serratia liquefaciens was 100.0%.Conclusions Gram-positive bacterial are the main pathogen of neonatal septicemia, and is highly resistant to the common antibacterial drugs. The clinical should choose antibacterial agents reasonably according to drug sensitivity.

ObjectiveTo study the clinical efficacy and safety of Narcotrend (NT) monitor for the prevention of awareness during general anesthesia.MethodsFour hundred and thirty-two patients with elective extubation and general anesthesia (ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ) were divided into observation group and control group with 216 cases each by random digits table.All patients were treated with total intravenous anesthesia.The patients were given anesthetics by NT monitor in observation group and detemined by the clinical experience of anesthesiologists in control group.The mean arterial pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR),respiratory rate(RR),pulse oxygen saturation(SpO2),NT stages (NTS),NT index (NTI),total sedatives,awaking time,extubation time,Ramsay score was recorded.All patients in the postoperative on the first day and the fourth day were followed-up two times to understand the perception and memory in patients undergoing the situation.ResultsThere was no know in operation in observation group,there was 1 case with suspectedknow and 1 case with definite know in control group.Compared with control group,the awaking time and extubation time was decreased in observation group [ ( 6.0 ± 2.8 ) min vs.( 10.0 ± 4.9 ) min,( 12.0 ± 5.5 ) min vs.( 19.0 ± 6.9) min] (P < 0.05 ); MAP and HR was even more stable.In addition to midasolam,the remaining amount of the drug was less (P < 0.05 ).Ramsay score at awaking,extubation and out of the operating room in observation group was lower than that in control group (P < 0.05).ConclusionNT monitor for total intravenous anesthesia increases the safety of general anesthesia,and it can be reduced to some extent,intraoperative awareness.

Objective To evaluate the performance of HCV RNA detection in the first EQA program in 2012 and analyze possible problems in clinical laboratories.Methods The panel consisting of 5 samples was distributed to 927 laboratories.Each panel contains one negative sample and 4 positive samples,which were virus-like particles calibrated by international standard.The pere ent agreements of all the laboratories for qualitative and quantitative results were calculated.Genomic means (GM) and standard deviations (s) of all laboratories and each reagent were calculated.The overall GM and the GM of each reagent were compared with expected results and correlation curves were calculated.Results The percent agreements of sample 1211,1212,1213,1214 for qualitative results wcrc 99.5% (403/405),98.5% (400/406),100.0% (405/405),100.0% (406/406),respectively.The percent agreement of the negative sample was 99% (401/405).The percent agreements of sample 1211,1212 and 1213 for quantitive results were similar,which were 93.8% (549/585),92.3 % (541/586) and 94.5% (554/586).However,the agreement of sample 1214 was only 87.7% (514/586)and the agreement of sample 1214 for reagent A was 67.2% (92/137).The overall GM agreed with expected results,while GMs of reagent C,E and G deviated from expected results.GMs of sample 1211,1212,1213 and 1214 reported by labs using reagent C were 4.22,3.56,5.16 and 5.90,respectively.GMs of sample 1211,1212,1213 and 1214 reported by labs using reagent E were 4.52,3.78,5.55 and 6.29,respectively.GMs of sample 1211,1212,1213 and 1214 reported by labs using reagent G were 4.83,4.36,5.72 and 6.56,respectively.Conclusions The overall results of HCV RNA qualitative and quantitative detection are satisfactory.However,some problems still exist,such as deviation of GM of some reagents,the interassay variability,systematic deviation and accidental deviation,which show that the quality of reagents should be improved.

The purpose of the study was to observe the effect of rapamycin (RAPA) on the differentiation and maturation of rat bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) in vitro. BMDCs from Wistar rats were cultured with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor plus interleukin-4 in the presence or absence of RAPA (20 ng/mL), and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24 h before cells and supernatants were collected. Surface phenotype of BMDCs was flow-cytometrically detected to determine the expression of maturation markers, MHC class II and CD86. Supernatants were analyzed for the production of IL-12 and IFN-gamma cytokines by using ELISA. BMDCs were co-cultured with T cells from Lewis rats and mixed lymphocyte reaction was assessed by MTT method. The morphology of BMDCs stimulated with LPS remained immature after RAPA pretreatment. RAPA significantly decreased the CD86 expression, impaired the IL-12 and IFN-gamma production of BMDCs stimulated with LPS, and inhibited the proliferation of allogeneic T cells. In conclusion, RAPA can inhibit the maturation of BMDCs stimulated with LPS in terms of the morphology, surface phenotype, cytokine production, and ability of BMDCs to stimulate the proliferation of allogeneic T cells in vitro.
