Abstract Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by long duration of disease and latent onset. Risk prediction models have shown potential for f early diagnosis and early treatment of diseases and formulation of targeted interventions. There is an increase in researches on risk prediction models for T2DM during the recent years, which provides the basis for precision tertiary prevention of T2DM; however, most studies suffer from problems of small sample size, complicated variables and difficulty in extensive applications. This review summarizes the risk prediction models for T2DM based on economic and easily available routine physical examination indicators, so as to provide insights into further studies on easy-to-perform and -popularize risk prediction models for T2DM.

ObjectiveTo explore the role of risk management in reducing the nursing risk of junior nurses in operation room. Method The risk management was implemented among junior nurses in operation room including establishing training groups for risk management,establishing instructor system,classifying nursing risk events and formulating operation room nursing risk monitoring. Result After risk management,the rate of risk events in the junior nurses was lowered as compared to pre-enforcement of the risk management(P<0.001).Conclusions The risk management can improve the risk awareness of junior nurses in operation room and reduce the incidence of nursing risk events.

Objective To establish nursing safety management system in the operating room and explore the effect of clinical application.Methods Toally 350 patients with surgical treatment from January to December 2013 were assigned as the control group,where routine nursing safety management was conducted.Another 350 patients from June 2014 to June 2015 were as the observation group,where nursing safety management system was used in the operating room.The two groups were compared in terms of adverse events,the passing rate of quality and safety.Result As compared with the contrast group,the incidence of adverse events was significantly lower and the passing rate of quality and safety was significantly higher in the observation group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Establishment of nursing safety management system can improve the nursing risk awareness,reduce the incidence of preoperative and postoperative adverse events and improve the level of nursing safety management and the quality of care.

Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture plus Chinese herbal medication on plasma endothelin (ET-1) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in child patients with mesenteric lymphadenitis.Methods One hundred and eighty child patients with mesenteric lymphadenitis were randomly allocated to groups A, B and C, 60 cases each. Group A received acupuncture at Zusanli and pricking Sifeng points plus oral administration of Wudang Babao Zijinding; group B, oral administration of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium granules; group C, oral administration of Wudang Babao Zijinding alone. ET-1 and CGRP contents were measured in the three groups before and after treatment.Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in ET-1 and CGRP contents in group A (P<0.01). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in ET-1 and CGRP contents between group A and group B or C (P<0.01).Conclusions Acupuncture plus Chinese herbal medication is an effective way to treat mesenteric lymphadenitis in children. It can regulate ET-1 and CGRP in the patients.

All of the cDNA molecules were amplified by a pair of common primers.Results　A protocol for RACE cDNA library construction from bone and joint was established and two RACE cDNA libraries from human fetal bone and joint were successfully constructed.Conclusion　The protocol of RACE cDNA library construction from limited materials proved to be simple and efficient and the library was suitable for RACE to isolate tissue-specific genes.

{L-End}Objective To understand the influence of job burnout and anxiety symptoms on work ability of biosafety laboratory (BSL) workers in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. {L-End}Methods A total of 5 808 BSL workers in Xinjiang Region were selected as the research subjects using cluster sampling method. The Job Burnout Questionnaire, Anxiety Self-rating Scale and Work Ability Index Questionnaire were used to evaluate their job burnout, anxiety symptoms and work ability. The mediation effect of anxiety symptoms on the relationship between job burnout and work ability was tested by stepwise regression analysis. {L-End}Results The detection rate of job burnout, anxiety symptoms and poor working ability was 83.1% (4 829/5 808), 37.2% (2 160/5 808) and 5.8% (339/5 808), respectively. There was a positive correlation between job burnout and anxiety symptoms score in BSL workers ［correlation coefficient (r) was 0.48, P<0.01］. The score of job burnout and anxiety symptoms was negatively correlated with the work ability score (r were -0.58, -0.51, both P<0.01). The results of mediation effect analysis show that the total effect of job burnout on work ability was -0.31, with the direct effect of -0.15. The mediation effect of anxiety symptoms on the relationship between job burnout and work ability was -0.16, accounting for 51.6% of the total effect. {L-End}Conclusion The detection rates of job burnout and anxiety symptoms among BSL workers in Xinjiang Region are relatively high. Anxiety symptoms show a mediate effect on the relationship between job burnout and work ability. The work ability of BSL workers can be improved by improving job burnout and anxiety symptoms.

OBJECTIVETo determine the linkage between Smith-Fineman-Myers syndrome (SFMS) and X-linked nuclear protein(XNP) locus.

METHODSPolymerase chain reaction and denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were used to genotype two polymorphic short tandem repeats within XNP gene.

RESULTSOne of the two short tandem repeats was informative in SFMS family from Shandong, China. Recombination between SFMS locus and XNP gene was observed in the SFMS family.

CONCLUSIONXNP gene is not associated with the disease in the SFMS family from Shandong, China. SFMS exhibits locus heterogeneity at molecular level.

OBJECTIVETo determine the genomic structure of low density lipoprotein receptor related protein 5 (LRP5) gene.

METHODScDNA sequence encoding LRP5 was used to screen genomic clones containing LRP5 gene by computer hybridization approach. By comparing the cDNA sequence of LRP5 with the genomic sequences, the genomic structure of LRP5 was determined, and then it was conformed by amplifying and sequencing the sequences of exons and splicing junction.

RESULTSThe genomic sequence of LRP5 gene was 131.6 kb in length, containing 23 exons and 22 introns. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms were detected within the coding sequences of LRP5 gene, namely A459G in exon 2, C2220T in exon 10 and G4416C in exon 21. Four polymorphic markers, D11S1917, D11S4087, D11S1337 and D11S4178, located in the 5' flank sequence, introns 1, 4, and 13 of the LRP5 gene, respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe characterization of genomic structure of LRP5 gene allows the investigators to detect disease-causing mutation within the gene and further study the function of LRP5 gene.
