Objective To explore the relationships among post traumatic stress disorder(PTSD),gratitude and posttraumatic growth (PTG) for terminal cancer patients.Methods Totally 119 advanced cancer patients were investigated with the self-demographic questionnaire,posttraumatic growth inventory (PTGI),the PTSD cheeklist-civilian version (PCL-C) and the Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6).Results For terminal cancer patients,the total score of PCL-C was 34.02±12.49.The scores on re-experience,avoidance/numbness,hypervigilance were 9.79±3.78,13.85±5.68,10.36±3.80.The total score of gratitude was 29.37±7.48.The total score of PTG was 51.34± 13.57.The scores of life appreciation,personal relationship and self-strength were 8.00± 2.99,21.18± 5.84,22.16± 6.10.The total scores of PTG were significantly statistical significance among different PTSD groups(F=16.267,P＜0.01)and gratitude groups(F=43.674,P＜0.0 1).The total scores of PCL-C (r=-0.694,P＜0.01),re-experience (r=-0.664,P＜0.01),avoidance/numbness (r=-0.671,P＜0.01),hypervigilance (r=0.753,P＜0.01) and gratitude(r=-0.611,P＜0.01) were all correlated with PTG.The total score of PCL-C and gratitude could explain 66.6％ variation of PTG.For the relationship between PTSD and PTG,the moderation effect of gratitude was not significant (P ＞0.05).Conclusion The gratitude and PTSD were important influence factors for terminal cancer patients' PTG,while the moderation effect of gratitude was not significant,so in clinical intervention we should pay more attentions to the actual effects of gratitude,and we should not pursuit gratitude education blindly.

Aim To investigate the hypoglycemic pathway of terpenes from Cornus officinalis(TCF) from three aspects of insulin dependence, α-glucosidase inhibition, insulin sensitizing.Methods Insulin-deficient diabetes mellitus(DM) model was induced by tail vein injection of streptozotocin(STZ) into SD rats at the dose of 50mg·kg-1 body weight.Rats were randomly divided into seven groups: control group(CON), model group(Model), metformin group(Met) 0.1g·kg-1, shenqi jiangtang granules(Shenqi) group 1.0 g·kg-1, three dose groups of TCF: 0.10, 0.05, 0.025 g·kg-1.Body weight and blood glucose were measured every week.After four weeks, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), glycosylated serum protein (GSP) were determined.Normal ICR mice were divided into seven groups: CON, Model, Met group 0.2g·kg-1, acarbose group(Acar) 0.1 g·kg-1, Shenqi group 1.5g·kg-1, three dose groups of TCF: 0.20g·kg-1;0.10g·kg-1;0.05 g·kg-1.After 10 days of administration, intraperitoneal injections of glucose and gavage starch tolerance tests were employed.Normal SD rats were divided into six groups: CON, rosiglitazone group 0.02 g·kg-1, glipizide group 0.02 g·kg-1, three dose groups of TCF: 0.10, 0.05, 0.025 g·kg-1.After seven days of administration, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test(IPGTT) was employed and levels of insulin was determined.Results (1)High dose of TCF significantly reduced the level of HbA1c(P<0.05), GSP(P<0.05) on STZ model rats;(2)TCF significantly improved the glucose tolerance and gavage starch tolerance in ICR mice(P<0.05);(3) High dose of TCF significantly reduced the blood glucose and serum insulin level.Conclusions TCF has obvious effects on inhibiting glucose absorb and promoting the use of glucose.It is able to exert hypoglycemic effect through non-insulin dependent pathway, whereas, whether it has the effects of α-glucosidase inhibition and insulin sensitization should be further validated.

Objective:In order to develop a comprehensive hospital debt risk model,it is imperative to conduct an analysis of the present debt risk landscape within public hospitals,so as to furnish hospitals with recommendations to avert potential debt risks.Methods:A debt risk model was constructed based on 7 common factors through the extraction and standardization of data from 25 indicators,using 600 public hospitals in a specific province as samples,followed by factor analysis.Results:The model's calculation of the comprehensive score of public hospitals aligns with professional explanations and provides a more accurate representation of the factors influencing the debt risk level of public hospitals,such as financial investment level,hospital type,hierarchy,and others.Conclusion:In conclusion,the model is efficient.It is imperative to adopt a comprehensive perspective on the matter of hospital debt and efficiently address the associated financial risks faced by public hospitals by fostering collaboration among multiple stakeholders and upholding fundamental principles.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence, mutation characteristics and clinical outcomes of inherited metabolic diseases(IMD) by using tandem mass spectrometry screening. Methods: In Hunan province, 565 182 newborns who underwent tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) screening for IMDs were studied, including fatty acid oxidation disorders (FAODs), amino acid disorders (AAs), and organic acidemias (OAs) between March 2013 and September 2017.For the patients with positive results, a recall screening test was performed, and the results were further confirmed by specific biochemical and genetic analysis.For all the patients with IMD, guideline-directed medical treatment was administrated, and the follow-up outcomes was evaluated. Results: A total of 107 newborns were diagnosed with IMDs, with an overall prevalence of 1∶5 282, including 65 newborns with FAODs (1∶ 8 695), 29 newborns with AAs (1∶19 489), and 13 newborns with OAs (1∶43 476). The primary carnitine deficiency(PCD)(44 cases), hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA)(17 cases), short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency(SCADD)(12 cases), citrine deficiency(NICCD)(6 cases) were the 4 most common IMDs in Hunan province.The hotspot mutations in SLC22A5 gene of PCD were c. 51C>G(25.3%), c.1400C>G(23.0%), and c. 760C>T(13.8%); in PAH gene of HPA were c. 728G>A (22.2%) and c. 721C>T(14.8%); in ACADS gene of SCADD was c. 1031A>G(38.9%); and in SLC25A13 gene of NICCD was c. 851_854delGTAT (50.0%), respectively.The remaining IMDs were rare, and the hotspot mutations were unclear right now.During a mean follow-up of (26.1±5.6) months, 7 patients died, 4 patients suffered an intelligent disability, whereas the remaining 96 subjects had normal physical and intelligent development. Conclusions The overall prevalence of IMDs is not fairly low in Hunan province.Newborn screening and early appropriate management can significantly improve the outcomes of these patients.
