Objective To exPlore the efficacy of nutritional interVention in Patients with chronic obstructiVe Pulmonary disease (COPD) and malnutrition risks. Methods From Jan. ,2008 to Dec. ,2012,829 COPD Patients with NRS2002 score≥3 in Qinzhou Second PeoPle's HosPital were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomized into control grouP (254 cases) and treatment grouP (575 cases) by random numerical table of SPSS 13. 0 statistic software. Patients without contraindication to enteral nutrition were giVen enteral nutrition suPPort,while those with contraindication to enteral nutrition were giVen Parenteral nutrition suPPort. Patients in the treatment grouP receiVed intensiVe suPPort with fortified nutrition,whereas Patients in the control grouP receiVed routine nutrition treatment. All other treatment methods were the same between the two grouPs. TelePhone follow_uP lasted for 3 years in both grouPs after discharge. Patients in the treatment grouP with NRS2002 score≥3 were giVen guidance on nutrition food intake. No nutrition guide was giVen to the control grouP. Times of acute attack,times and duration of mechanical Ventilation,mortality rate,and NRS2002 score three years after the treatment were comPared between the two grouPs. Data were analyzed by multi_factor Logistic regression analysis to understand the nutritional factors of COPD Patients affecting their mortality rate. Results After 3 years of follow_uP,times of acute attack,times and duration of mechanical Ventilation were lower in the treatment grouP than in the control grouP. Mortality rate was significantly lower in the treatment grouP (0. 696%) than the control grouP (4. 724%). After treatment,NRS2002 score was PositiVely correlated with mortality rate of COPD Patients with malnutrition risks. Conclusion For the COPD Patients with malnutrition risks, actiVe nutritional interVention can imProVe their nutrition status ( lower NRS2002 score) ,increase the number of resPiratory muscles to alleViate anoxia,enhance cellular immune function, and thus imProVe their Prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of intensive insulin therapy on long-term remittance of the islet β-cell function in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients. Methods 120 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were randomly divided into four groups, and intensive insulin therapy was given for 15 days, 30 days, 60 days and 90 days respectively. The islet β-cell function were measured before and 1 or 2 years after treatment, and the differences were compared among each group. Results The plasma glucose was controlled well and the islet β-cell function was significantly improved in each group after treatment. The ratio value of △I30/△G30 in groups of 30 days,60 days and 90 days were higher than group of 15 days[(1.48±0.43 )mmol/L vs (1.25±0.40) mmol/L, t=2.40,P<0.05, (1.83±0.37) mmol/L vs (1.25±0.40) mmol/L, t=2.85,P<0.01, (1.90±0.41) mmol/L vs (1.25±0.40) mmol/L, t=2.97,P<0.01]. The indexes of the islet β-cell secretion function all gradually declined in each group after treatment for 2 years, but still higher than before treatment, the ratio value of △I30/△G30 in groups of 60 days and 90 days were higher than group of 15 days and 30 days[(1.44±0.51)mmol/L vs (0.87±0.47) mmol/L,t=2.92, P<0.01, (1.44±0.51)mmol/L vs (1.09±0.55) mmol/L, t=2.44,P<0.05, (1.52±0.44) mmol/L vs (0.87±0.47) mmol/L, t=2.86, P<0.01, (1.52±0.44) mmol/L vs (1.09±0.55) mmol/L, t=2.50, P<0.05], there was no difference between group of 60 days and 90 days. The ratio of remittance in groups of 60 days and 90 days was very high. Conclusions Intensive insulin therapy can significantly improve the islet β-cell function of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients,anddelay the natural process. An appropriate extension of treatment can further prevent the descending rate of islet β-cell function, and easily get the long-term remission.
