Objective To observe the influence of individualized health eduction on the metabolic index in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and thus explore the effective measures of altering life style of patients.Methods The health education plan was made by nurses specialized in diabetes mellitus in 58 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a manner of one nurse to one patient.Metabolic indexes such as BMI,FPG,2hPG and HbAlc were observed after the execution of the plan.Results BMI,FPG,2hPG and HbAlc were all loweled 6 months and 12 months after the execution of the plan compared with those baseline values of these indexes,and more than 90% patients could persist in the dietary and physical treatment.Conclusions Individualized health education can alter the metabofic indexes of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus better.The way of one to one can enhance the effectiveness of the education,make the patients culture good life style by themselves and thus delay the occurrence and development of chronic complications associated with diabetes mellitus.

The transcranial doppler ultrasonography (TCD) is a non-invasive detection methods of evaluating intracranial artery.Since the 1980s,TCD has been extensively used in various fields of clinical work.Because of its simple operation,good repeatability,and the continuous bedside observation of patients,TCD is especially suitable for severe patients.Increased intracranial pressure is one of the important reasons for the deadly disease in children,it can make the cerebral blood flow perfusion decreased,causing serious consequences,such as brain dysfunction,so intracranial pressure monitoring has important clinical significance.TCD as a noninvasive monitoring tool,can monitor the patients with increased intracranial pressure dynamically,according to the blood flow velocity,the related parameters and the wave of cerebral hemodynamics,so as to achieve the purpose of monitoring intracranial pressure change.This article focused on the TCD application progress in several common children's diseases of increased intracranial pressure.

50 mm/h were detected in all the patients. Decreasing C 3 in 6 patients and C 4 in 5 were found. Conclusions SLE is one of the general conditions causing retinal vein occlusion. Visual acuity and barrier of retinal vein and capillary are damaged seriously in patients with retinal vein occlusion caused by SLE, which may be accompanied with other ocular or general lesions. It is suggested that retinal vein occlusion is relative with SLE activity.

Guanylin family, described in recent 10 years, is a series of small peptides (including guanylin, uroguanylin and lymphoguanylin) with structural and functional similarities to heat-stable enterotoxins (STs) elaborated by various pathogenic bacteria. They are abundance of cysteines and are endogenous activators of guanylyl cyclase-C (GC-C) receptors. Immunoreactive guanylin family peptides are localized in many human organs and tissues, especially in gastrointestinal tract and kidney, and play an important role in regulation of water and salt homeostasis. Recent studies showed that the mRNA levels of guanylin family peptides were down-regulated in colorectal cancers; oral intake of uroguanylin might suppress polyp formation in Apc(Min/+) mouse, and ~(111)In-labeled-ST peptide analog might specifically target human colon cancers. These evidences highlight that guanylin family may have a potential application in diagnosis and therapy effects of colorectal cancers.

Objective To understand the dietary intake of pregnant women, and try to give a reasonable sug-gestion to promote fetal development. Methods 400 pregnant women in Fushan city were enrolled in this study and their dietary intake were investigated, then the software of Analysis of pregnancy nutrition guidance system was used to make nutrition analysis. Results The ratio of the energy in each pregnancy provided by dietary protein, carbohy-drate and fat were relatively appropriate. But the intake of dietary calcium, ferrum, zinc, vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 in early pregnancy were very low, the intake were respectively 764.51 mg, 26.94 mg, 15.71 mg, 1.12 g, 1.13 g. Each pregnancy the ratio of high-quallty protein in total protein intake were more than 50%, an average protein RNI% was 48.50%. Conclusion The dietary style of pregnant women is relatively reasonable. But they should strengthened nutritional guide to intake more calciuro,ferrum, zinc,vitamin B1 and vitamin B2.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristic of ocular fundus complications in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods In 25 cases of SLE with the ocular fundus complications, the ocular fundus, the other ocular tissues, general lesions,and antinuclear antibody (ANA), anti-double-stranded DNA(anti-dsDNA), complement 3 (C 3), complement 4 (C 4)and erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) were analyzed retrospectively. Results In the 25 cases, "classic" SLE retinopathy in 15 (25 eyes), retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in 9 (12 eyes), RVO combined with retinal artery occlusion in 1 (2 eyes), exudative retinal detachment in 1 (2 eyes), vitreous hemorrhage combined with neovascular glaucoma in 1 (1 eye), and optic disc edema except RVO in 3 (6 eyes) were found. Nine cases accompanied with other ocular signs and 21 with general lesions. Positive ANA and anti-dsDNA and elevated ESR in all of the patients, decreasing C 3 in 19, and C 4 in 17 were found. Conclusions SLE can cause serious ocular fundus complications accompanied with other ocular signs. Regular ophthalmic examination should be performed on the patients with SLE to detect and treat the ocular complications promptly.

Objective The clinical heterogeneity of Parkinson's disease (PD) may point at the existence of subtypes. Aim of this study is to assess the severity of depression in patients with PD of different clinical subtypes. Methods A broad spectrum of motor variables and nonmotor features, including tremor, rigidity, hypokinesia, postural instability gait disorder, fatigue, constipation, apathy, depression, global cognitive function, as well as the clinical data and demographics, including age, gender, age at disease onset, course of disease, were collected in 600 Chinese PD patients. The PD subtypes were classified using k-means (k=4) cluster analysis according to the clinical data. Their depression was assessed with Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Results The cluster analysis indicated 4 main subtypes: Subtype 1 was mildly affected in all domains, and the ratio of tremor score to non-tremor score was the highest among the 4 clusters. Subtype 2 was severely in all motor and nonmotor symptoms. Subtype 3 showed intermediate severity in most domains. Subtype 4 was characterized by short course and rapid progression of disease. 43.5% of cases were identified as in depression. There was significant difference in scores of CES-D among the 4 subtypes (P<0.05). Conclusion Depression occurred frequently in patients with PD with some clinical heterogeneity.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the economics of alendronate sodium preventing osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women,and to provide reference for osteoporotic and osteopenia patients to select economical and effective therapy plan. METH-ODS:Using Markov economic model,TreeAge Pro 2011 software was used for cost-utility analysis using RCTs literature data of basic medication(calcium and vitamin D3)and basic medication combined with alendronate sodium as baseline data. Using quality adjusted life years(QALYs)and incremental cost utility ratio(ICUR)as economics evaluation indexes,the stability of established model was investigate by single factor sensitivity analysis. RESULTS:QALYs of the basic treatment group was 0.704 years,and QALYs of drug combination group was only 0.708 years. However,ICUR of two groups reached 714252.44. For the late period of hip fracture and other fractures,drug combination group was in high cost and low benefit,obviously had no economic advan-tage. For vertebral fractures,the cumulative probability of fracture in drug combination group was significantly lower than basic treatment group,and ICUR of the two groups was only 13902.17,with economic advantage. For hip fracture,the cumulative prob-ability of fracture in basic treatment group was the same as drug combination group,and ICUR was 19109.00,with economic ad-vantage. For wrist fractures,curative effect and economy needed further study. CONCLUSIONS:For the low-risk population with osteoporotic fractures,calcium and vitamin D3 are more economical in preventing osteoporosis fractures. For the high-risk popula-tion with vertebral and hip fractures,alendronate sodium combined with basic treatment is effective and economical.
