Objective: To predict the risk of cognitive decline among elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so as to provide insights into the early identification of cognitive decline in elderly patients with T2DM. Methods: The elderly patients with T2DM hospitalized in the Qingpu Branch of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University were selected as subjects. General information was collected by a questionnaire survey, including demographics and nutritional status, and cognitive decline was assessed using the frailty Phenotype Scale, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and the Clinical Dementia Rating. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of cognitive decline among elderly patients with T2DM. A nomogram was established, and was verified with Bootstrap resampling method and receiver operation characteristic curve. Results: A total of 270 questionnaires were sent out and 262 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective rate of 97.04%. There were 137 males (52.29%), 146 patients at ages of 60 to 69 years (55.73%), 179 married patients (68.32%), and 85 patients with cognitive decline (32.44%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified gender (female, OR=3.118), age (70 to 79 years, OR=3.218; 80 years and older, OR=3.058), educational level (high school or technical secondary school, OR=0.335; junior college, OR=0.130; college and above, OR=0.300), regular exercise (OR=0.083), memory (decreased, OR=29.723), nutritional status (risk of malnutrition, OR=16.307; malnutrition, OR=39.469), activity of daily living (decreased, OR=6.804) and depressive symptoms (OR=8.609) as factors affecting cognitive decline among elderly patients with T2DM (all P<0.05). The nomogram based on the above factors fit well and indicated strong predictive ability. Conclusion Gender, age, educational level, regular exercise, memory, nutritional status, activity of daily living and depressive symptoms can effectively predict the risk of cognitive decline among elderly patients with T2DM.

Objective To improve level of first-aid treatment of severe head trauma and reduce fa-tality. Methods Clinical nursing procedures were applied to patients.Patients need first-aid treatment (105 cases) were divided into the control group(50 cases) and the experimental group(55 cases).The con-trol group adopted routine first-aid procedure,the experimental group was given first-aid nursing with self-designed shortcut nursing procedure for severe head trauma.The effect of application of shortcut nursing procedure was observed by comparing the fatality and time consumption of first-aid treatment between the two groups. Results The fatality and time consumption of first-aid treatment in the experimental groupwas lower than that of the control group, P<0.05. Conclusions Application of shortcut nursing proce-dure in first-aid treatment can not only improve level of first-aid treatment and reduce fatality, but also can instruct nurses how to rescue patients and improve their professional and vocational level.

Objective To establish the reference intervals of serum pepsinogen(PG)in healthy adults in Changsha area,and to explore their distribution as well as related factors.Methods Serum PGⅠand PGⅡ levels were determined by a latex-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay method in 1 279 subjects from Changsha area.Then PGⅠ/PGⅡ was calculated.Results The PGⅠ, PGⅡ and PGⅠ/PGⅡ levels of 1 279 healthy adult residents showed a skew distribution.The levels of serum PGⅠand PGⅠ/PGⅡ in males were 62.0 ng/mL and 4.3,which in females were 59.4 ng/mL and 4.1,significantly lower than those in males(P<0.05).Age was significantly positive correlated with serum concentrations of PGⅡ(r= 0.278,P<0.01),and was negative correla-ted with PGⅠ/PGⅡratio(r= -0.173,P<0.01).The normal reference ranges of serum PGⅠ,PGⅡ and PGⅠ/PGⅡ in males were≥56.8 ng/mL,≤22.6 ng/mL,and ≥3.3,respectively,and in females were ≥51.4 ng/mL,≤23.1 ng/mL,and ≥3.0,respec-tively.Conclusion The serum PG levels of healthy adult residents significantly show skew distributions in Changsha area,which are affected by gender and age.The establishment of reference intervals of PG contributes to clinical screening and diagnosis of gas-tric-related deseases.

BACKGROUND:Human periodontal ligament stem cels are a kind of mesenchymal stem cels that have self-renewal and multidifferentiation potential. Previous studies have showed that human periodontal ligament stem cels can differentiate into osteoblast-like cels or adipocyte-like cels under appropriate induction. Yet few studies have focused on the expression level of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor which wil affect the osteogenic potential of Human periodontal ligament stem cels. OBJECTIVE:To examine the expression level of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor between human periodontal ligament stem cels and human periodontal ligament cels and to discuss the role of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor in osteogenic differentiation. METHODS:By using magnetic-bead cel sorting, we separated and identified the human periodontal ligament stem cels and human periodontal ligament cels. We examined and compared the mRNA expression level of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor in human periodontal ligament stem cels and human periodontal ligament cels by Real-Time PCR. Osteoblastic differentiation was examined throughin vitro matrix mineralization by alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Positive immunomagetic sorted cels were positive for STRO-1, CD146, Vimentin, indicating that they were periodontal ligament stem cels. Parathyroid hormone 1 receptor was expressed in human periodontal ligament stem cels and mainly located in cel membrane and cytoplasm which were similar to human periodontal ligament cels and MG63 cels. The expression of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor in human periodontal ligament stem cels was 3.7 times higher than that in human periodontal ligament cels, which was similar to that in MG63 cels. After osteogenic induction, human periodontal ligament stem cels showed a higher expression of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor and osteoblast-related genes as wel as the activity of osteoblast alkaline phosphatase and mineralization compared to human periodontal ligament cels. Our data showed that parathyroid hormone 1 receptor was higher in human periodontal ligament stem cels than human periodontal ligament cels and the expression was related with osteogenic differentiation, suggesting that human periodontal ligament stem cels display a higher potency of osteogenic differentiation and act as seed cels with a vast application prospect in oral tissue engineering.

Metabonomics has developed rapidly in post-genome era, and becomes a hot topic of omics. The core idea of metabonomics is to determine the metabolites of relatively low-weight molecular in organisms or cells, by a series of analytical methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance, color spectrum and mass spectrogram, then to transform the data of metabolic pattern into useful information, by chemometric tools and pattern recognition software, and to reveal the essence of life activities of the body. With advantages of high-throughput, high-sensitivity and high-accuracy, metabolomics shows great potential and value in cancer individualized treatment. This paper introduces the concept,contents and methods of metabonomics and reviews its application in cancer individualized therapy.
