Objective To construct a new molecular biological method for the analysis of microbial species in lower respiratory tract infections based on 16S rRNA gene by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatograph(DHPLC).Methods The universal primer set was analyzed basing on the highly conserved regions of 16S rRNA gene.DNA amplicons of lower respiratory tract were analyzed by DHPLC to generate peak profiles respectively.The incorporation of 40-bpGC clamp into the amplification primet was essential to effectively discriminate genetic differences identification.Results The primers could only amplify bacterial 16S rRNA.Bacterial of amplicons which incorporation of a 40-bpGC clamp were effectively discriminated genetic differences in DHPLC.The results of clinical isolares identification showed 100%according with the traditional method.Conclusion DHPLC has not only high accuracy,but also is a convenient,rapid and high-through technique for the discrimination bacteria.It has potential value in the detection of lower respiratory pathogenic bacteria.

Objective:To explore the correlation between glycemic control of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and brachial-ankle pulse velocity (baPWV). Methods:A community-based cross-sec-tional study was conducted in Beijing, China. Every subject underwent physical examinations, glycated hemoglobin ( HbA1 c ) , blood lipid and baPWV measurements and completed a standardized question-naire. T2DM patients were divided into well controlled and poorly controlled groups according to HbA1c levels. The correlation between glycemic control of T2DM patients and baPWV was analyzed. Results:In this study, 1 341 subjects were recruited, including 733 T2DM patients and 608 non-diabetes sub-jects. Compared with non-diabetes subjects, abnormal baPWV ( baPWV≥1 700 cm/s) rate for T2DM patients was higher (40. 8% vs. 26. 8%, P<0. 001). With HbA1c<6. 5% or <7. 0% as the aim of glycemic control in T2DM patients, the abnormal baPWV rates for non-diabetes subjects, well controlled and poorly controlled T2DM patients were significantly different (non-diabetes vs. HbA1c<6. 5% T2DM vs. HbA1c≥6. 5% T2DM: 26. 8% vs. 32. 8% vs. 42. 6%, P <0. 001; non-diabetes vs. HbA1c <7. 0% T2DM vs. HbA1c≥7. 0% T2DM:26. 8% vs. 36. 1% vs. 43. 4%, P<0. 001). After being ad-justed for gender, age, smoking status, diabetes mellitus family history, T2DM duration, cardiovascular diseases ( CVD ) , waist hip ratio ( WHR ) , systolic blood pressure ( SBP ) , diastolic blood pressure ( DBP) , total triglycerides ( TG) , high density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C) , and low density lipo-protein cholesterol ( LDL-C ) , the Logistic regression models suggested that glycemic control status of T2DM patients was associated with abnormal baPWV. Compared with non-diabetes subjects, the ORs for abnormal baPWV in HbA1 c <6 . 5% T2 DM patients and HbA1 c≥6 . 5% T2 DM patients were 0 . 927 (95%CI 0. 560-1. 537) and 1. 826 (95%CI 1. 287-2. 591). Compared with non-diabetes subjects, the ORs for abnormal baPWV in HbA1c<7. 0% T2DM patients and HbA1c≥7. 0% T2DM patients were 1. 210 (95%CI 0. 808-1. 811) and 1. 898 (95%CI 1. 313-2. 745). Conclusion:The glycemic con-trol status of T2DM patients from communities is significantly associated with baPWV. Poor glycemic con-trol is a risk factor for abnormal baPWV. Keeping HbA1c under control might lower the risk of cardiovas-cular diseases in T2DM patients.

Objective: To explore the relationship between glycemic control and visceral adiposity index (VAI) among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.Methods: A community-based epidemiological field study for patients with T2DM aged ≥ 40 years was conducted in China.Every participant underwent physical examinations, biochemical tests of fasting glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and so on, and a questionnaire, including anthropometric characteristics, lifestyle, disease history, family history, and medication use.Those participants with HbA1c ≥7.0% were classified as the poorly controlled in our analysis of relationship between glycemic control and VAI.Anthropometric characteristics, lifestyle, and biochemical indexes of the participants were compared among the groups of different VAI levels.Logistic models were applied in multiple analysis adjusting for possible confounders.Results: A total of 1 607 patients with T2DM were recruited in our analysis with a mean age of (59.4±8.1) years and an average T2DM duration of (7.0±6.4) years.Among them, 78.3% were on hypoglycemic therapy.The cutoff points of quartiles of VAI were calculated for the males and females, respectively.According to the ascending order of the quartiles of VAI, the participants were divided into four groups, i.e.Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4.The poor glycemic control rate for these groups were 60.6%, 65.7%, 70.1%, and 71.0%, respectively (Trend χ2=12.20, P<0.001).After adjustment for age, gender, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), LDL-C, smoking, cardio-cerebral vascular disease (CVD) history, hypoglycemic therapy, T2DM duration, and family history of diabetes, the Logistic regression models showed that the glycemic control rate was significantly associated with VAI levels among the patients with T2DM.Compared with the participants in group Q1, the ORs of poor glycemic control for those in groups Q2, Q3, and Q4 were 1.239 (95%CI 0.918 to 1.672), 1.513 (95%CI 1.117 to 2.050), and 1.535 (95%CI 1.128to 2.088), respectively (trend P=0.003).With each quartile increase in VAI, the OR of poor glycemic control was 1.162 (95%CI 1.054 to 1.282).Conclusion: The glycemic control among the patients with T2DM is significantly associated with VAI.High level of VAI is an indicator of poor glycemic control.

Objective To explore the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and serum stromal cell derived factor-1(SDF-1)levels. Methods A community-based epidemiological field study for T2DM patients and non-T2DM subjects was conducted in Beijing,China. Every subject underwent physical examinations, biochemical tests of stromal cell derived factor 1 and so on,and completed a standardized questionnaire. A total of 756 subjects were recruited in our analysis ,including 267 T2DM patients and 489 non-T2DM subjects ,T2DM patients were further divided into 81 simple T2DM patients and 186 macrovascular complication patients on the basis of the status of macrovascular complication. The correlation between serum SDF-1 levels and T2DM was analyzed. Results Compared with non-T2DM group,the level of SDF-1 in T2DM group was higher(P=0.019). The level of SDF-1 in simple T2DM group was also higher than macrovascular complication group(P=0.044). In the multi-ple linear regression analysis,after adjustment for age,gender,smoking,drinking,dyslipidemia,hypertension and BMI,SDF-1 level in simple T2DM group was higher than macrovascular complication group(P = 0.049), still. Conclusions Simple T2DM patients had a higher serum SDF-1 level than T2DM patients with macrovascular complications as well as those who did not suffer T2DM,suggesting that the stromal cell derived factor-1 may play a certain role in the development of T2DM and macrovascular complications.

Post-marketing vaccine safety surveillance, including both passive and active surveillances, aims to detect and alert to signals of adverse events following immunization (AEFI), and to further ensure public safety and public confidence in vaccination. Active surveillance could proactively seek information of AEFI and timely investigate the potential safety signals, therefore, it has become the main development trend of post-marketing surveillance worldwide. Nowadays, there is an ongoing interest in developing active surveillance systems that can incorporate and use existing electronic data such as administrative claims and electronic health records. Researchers have also began exploring ways of accruing data closer to "real-time" in order to speed the recognition of potential safety problems.This near real-time vaccine safety surveillance is gradually emerging worldwide. This study reviews the development and methodology of near real-time surveillance and aims to accelerate the foundation of the active surveillance system for vaccine safety in China.

Objective:To establish a multi-state Markov model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and explore the transition rule between the cumulative number of different chronic complications, estimate the transition probability and intensity between status, and explore the possible factors affecting the transition between status.Methods:A retrospective cohort study of 33 575 patients with T2DM was conducted. According to the baseline and the cumulative number of chronic complications during the follow-up period, the patients were classified based on five status: T2DM, one complication, two complications, three complications, four and above complication, indicated by S0, S1, S2, S3 and S4, respectively. A time-continuous and state-discrete multi-state irreversible Markov model was used for statistical analysis.Results:The study included 33 575 T2DM patients, and their average age was 60 years old, the median of follow-up length was 8 years. In these patients, 32 653 had no baseline complications. At the end of follow-up, the transition probabilities of S0→S1, S1→S2, S2→S3 and S3→S4 were 16.4%, 32.4%, 45.6% and 25.9%, respectively. The results of multivariate analysis showed that being female ( HR=0.919), less than 60 years old ( HR=0.929), higher fasting plasma glucose ( HR=1.601), lower high-density lipoprotein ( HR=1.087), higher total cholesterol ( HR=1.090),weekly exercise ( HR=0.897), vegetarian diet ( HR=0.852) and heavy diet ( HR=1.887) were the risk factors for S0 to S1. And being female ( HR=0.768), less than 60 years old ( HR=0.859) and lower high-density lipoprotein ( HR=1.160) were the risk factors for S1 to S2. Conclusions:The probability of multiple complications in T2DM patients increased over time, the transition intensity of S2→S3 was largest, followed by S1→S2. Therefore, we need to conduct both early and long-term indicators monitoring and disease prevention, strengthen the health education to improve patients' daily living habits at early stage of the illness, encourage patients to have moderate exercise and balanced diet, strengthen the monitoring of fasting blood- glucose, cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein levels to prevent the deterioration of the illness.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of individualized fall prevention strategies in preventing falls among Parkinson's patients.Methods A total of 140 patients with early to mid-stage Parkinson's disease(PD)admitted to our hospital from June 2021 to June 2022 were selected as the study subjects.The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an intervention group using a random number table method,with 70 patients in each group.Both groups received routine and standardised Parkinson's drug treatment.Additionally,the control group received routine fall prevention nursing interventions,while the intervention group received individualized fall prevention plans proposed based on exercise training and health education in addition to the nursing interventions as given in the control group.The two groups were compared in terms of time by timed up and go tests(TUGT)and respective scores by the Modified Fall Effectiveness Energy Scale(MFES),39-item PD questionnaire(PDQ-39),and Berg balance scale(BBS).Results The intervention group presented with significantly shorter TUGT time compared to the control group[(24.90±3.69)s vs.(26.79±3.52)s,P＜0.05].When assessed with the MFES and BBS,the intervention group scored significantly higher compared to the control group[(94.90±9.38)vs.(85.38±8.97),P＜0.05;[(44.37±3.20)vs.(40.52±3.66),P＜0.05,respectively],while,when assessed with the PDQ-39,the intervention group scored significantly lower compared to the control group[(31.13±9.34)vs.(35.25±10.31),P＜0.05].Conclusions Individualized fall prevention strategies proposed based on exercise training and health education can improve their effects on preventing falls of Parkinson's patients and enhance their balance-walking ability,thereby improving their quality of life.Therefore,the strategies are worthy of clinical promotion..
