Objective To explore the correlation between renal damage of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM ) and level of serum cystatin C(Cys C) .Methods Eutocia puerperas with single birth in this center from January 2011 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed .400 puerperas ,who were confirmed as GDM by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) detection ,were collected .Among them ,200 puerperas with 24 h urinary protein content more than 0 .15 g during their 30 to 40 weeks of pregnancy were served as GDM group ,while another 200 puerperas with those not more than 0 .15 g as GDM control group .200 healthy puer-peras without GDM were served as the normal group .Serum uric acid ,creatinine ,urea ,Cys C and 24 h urinary protein content of them during their 30 to 40 weeks of pregnancy were detected .Results Serum uric acid and Cys C of patients in GDM group were obviously higher than those in the GDM control group(P<0 .05) ,while the differences of serum urea ,creatinine between the two groups showed no statistical significance (P>0 .05) .24 h urinary protein content was positively correlated with the serum uric acid and Cys C(r=0 .715 ,0 .863 ,P<0 .05) ,and had no correlation with urea and creatinine (P>0 .05) .Conclusion Serum Cys C may be used as indicators for early diagnosis and monitoring of renal damage in patients with GDM .

AIM: To investigate the mechanism underlying insulin-stimulated increase in glucose uptake during low-flow myocardial ischemia. METHODS: The expression of myocardial GLUT1 polypeptide was determined by semiquantitative immunoblotting. The expression of GLUT1 mRNA was determined by semiquantitative Northern blotting. RESULTS: After infusing insulin during low- flow myocardial ischemia for 8 h,the expression of both GLUT1 mRNA and GLUT1 polypeptide was significantly higher in experimental myocardium than that in normal myocardium. The glucose uptake was upregulated at the same time in the exprimental myocardium. CONCLUSION: Insulin enhances the expression of GLUT1 mRNA and GLUT1 polypeptide in ischemic myocardial regions. GLUT1 expression may be an important mechanism by which myocardial cells enhance glucose uptake and metabolism during low-flow myocardial ischemia.

Objective To investigate the mechanism for that insulin facilitates increase of glucose uptake. Methods The expression of myocardial GLUT4 polypeptide was determined by semiquantitative immunoblotting. The expression of GLUT4 mRNA was determined by semiquantitative Northern blotting. Results After infusing insulin for 8 hours,the expression of GLUT4 mRNA and GLUT4 polypeptide was significantly higher in canine myocardium than in those found normal ones. The glucose uptake was upregulated at the same time.Conclusions Our findings suggest that insulin facilitates the expression of GLUT4 mRNA and GLUT4 polypeptide in canine hearts. Enhanced GLUT4 expression is one of the important molecular mechanism by which myocardial cells enhance glucose uptake by insulin stimulation.

Objective To analyze iodine nutrition and its correlation with thyroid function in pregnant women.Methods A total of 295 pregnant women were enrolled from Jun.to Oct.2016,and detected for serum levels of thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),free thyroxine(FT4) and thyroid-peroxidase antibody(TPOAb) by using electrochemiluminescence analysis,and for urinary iodine concentration(UIC) by cold digestion method according to iodine catalytic effect of arsenic-cerium.Results The median of UIC was 174.90 μg/L.The prevalence of iodine deficiency and iodine excess were 40.00% and 7.12% respectively.The prevalence of TPOAb positivity and thyroid dysfunction in the iodine deficiency group and iodine excess group were significantly higher than those of iodine proper group(P<0.05).The levels of TSH and FT4 of iodine excess group were significantly higher than those of iodine proper group(P<0.05).Conclusion The abnormality of iodine nutrition could be common in pregnant women.Monitoring of UIC and thyroid hormones should be highlighted.

Objective:To analyze the use and satisfaction of smart healthcare in public hospitals in Hangzhou from the perspective of patient experience.Methods:From August to September 2020, 501 patients from 2 class A tertiary hospitals and 5 community health centers in Hangzhou were randomly selected for questionnaire survey. The survey included their usage and satisfaction of smart healthcare. Based on SERVQUAL theory, the patient satisfaction scale included 5 dimensions of tangibility, reliability, reactivity, assurance, and empathy. The factors affecting patient satisfaction were analyzed by single factor and multi factor analysis.Results:The average score of patient satisfaction was 3.94±0.56. The satisfaction with tangibility(4.25±0.64), assurance(4.07±0.71)and reactivity(4.02±0.73)was higher, while the scoring of empathy(3.84±0.77)and reliability(3.52±0.70)were lower than the average score. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that patients′ educational level, occupational type and UTAUT score had a certain impact on satisfaction( P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall satisfaction of patients with smart healthcare in Hangzhou is high. In the future, we should pay more attention to big data security and personal privacy protection, upgrade the smart medical system, improve the hospital Internet platform, empower smart healthcare service system through digital technology, and promote the comprehensive digital transformation of health.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the status quo and influential factors of the elderly in the community.Methods:From July to September 2021, 543 elderly people were investigated in 9 community healthcare service centers in Hangzhou by using the Comprehensive Frailty Assessment Instrument (including four dimensions: physical, psychological, social, and environmental frailty) and the Social Support Rating Scale (including three dimensions: subjective support, objective support, and support availability). Independent sample t-test, analysis of variance, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression were conducted to examine key determinants of frailty. Results:The total score of frailty among older adults in the community was (43.1±12.0). The results showed that the total score of social support was negatively associated with frailty of community-dwelling older adults ( r=-0.449, P<0.01); age ≥80 years old ( β=0.229, P<0.001) was positively associated with frailty; not living alone, children′s household support, children′s spiritual support, the accessibility of elderly care facilities within a 15-minute walk, and social support score were negatively associated with frailty ( β=-0.118, -0.081, -0.260, -0.155, -0.250,all P<0.05). Conclusion:The elderly in the community have a moderate degree of frailty, which affected by age, living condition, children′s support, the accessibility of elderly care facilities, and social support.
