Background::The effect of bariatric surgery on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) control can be assessed based on predictive models of T2DM remission. Various models have been externally verified internationally. However, long-term validated results after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) surgery are lacking. The best model for the Chinese population is also unknown.Methods::We retrospectively analyzed Chinese population data 5 years after LSG at Beijing Shijitan Hospital in China between March 2009 and December 2016. The independent t-test, Mann–Whitney U test, and chi-squared test were used to compare characteristics between T2DM remission and non-remission groups. We evaluated the predictive efficacy of each model for longterm T2DM remission after LSG by calculating the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, Youden index, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and predicted-to-observed ratio, and performed calibration using Hosmer–Lemeshow test for 11 prediction models. Results::We enrolled 108 patients, including 44 (40.7%) men, with a mean age of 35.5 years. The mean body mass index was 40.3 ± 9.1 kg/m 2, the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) was (75.9 ± 30.4)%, and the percentage of total weight loss (% TWL) was (29.1 ± 10.6)%. The mean glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level was (7.3 ± 1.8)% preoperatively and decreased to (5.9 ± 1.0)% 5 years after LSG. The 5-year postoperative complete and partial remission rates of T2DM were 50.9% [55/108] and 27.8% [30/108], respectively. Six models, i.e., "ABCD", individualized metabolic surgery (IMS), advanced-DiaRem, DiaBetter, Dixon et al’s regression model, and Panunzi et al’s regression model, showed a good discrimination ability (all AUC >0.8). The "ABCD" (sensitivity, 74%; specificity, 80%; AUC, 0.82 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.74–0.89]), IMS (sensitivity, 78%; specificity, 84%; AUC, 0.82 [95% CI: 0.73–0.89]), and Panunzi et al’s regression models (sensitivity, 78%; specificity, 91%; AUC, 0.86 [95% CI: 0.78–0.92]) showed good discernibility. In the Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, except for DiaRem ( P <0.01), DiaBetter ( P <0.01), Hayes et al ( P = 0.03), Park et al ( P = 0.02), and Ramos-Levi et al’s ( P <0.01) models, all models had a satifactory fit results ( P >0.05). The P values of calibration results of the "ABCD" and IMS were 0.07 and 0.14, respectively. The predicted-to-observed ratios of the "ABCD" and IMS were 0.87 and 0.89, respectively. Conclusion::The prediction model IMS was recommended for clinical use because of excellent predictive performance, good statistical test results, and simple and practical design features.

Objective:To explore the effects of Baduanjin combined with resistance exercise in rural elderly.Methods:From May to September 2020, totally 80 aged people from 2 villages in Hebei province were selected by convenient sampling. Patients from one village were randomly included into an intervention group ( n=40) , and patients from the other village were included into a control group ( n=40) . Patients in the control group took daily activities and exercise, and received only health education, while patients in the intervention group practiced Baduanjin combined with resistance exercise in addition to daily activities. The Chinese version of Fried Frailty Phenotype Assessment Components, Time Up and Go Test (TUGT) , Five-Times Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSST) , and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to evaluate the frailty, balance ability, lower limb muscle strength, and sleep quality of the two groups of rural elderly before and after the intervention. In this study, totally 80 questionnaires were distributed, and 78 valid questionnaires were recovered, accounting for an effective recovery rate of 97.5%. Results:The Chinese version of Fried Frailty Phenotype Assessment Components and PSQI scores of the rural elderly in the intervention group after the intervention were lower than those in the control group and before the intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The TUGT and FTSST time of the rural elderly in the intervention group after the intervention were shorter than those in the control group and before the intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Baduanjin combined with resistance exercise can delay the debilitating state of rural elderly, improve their lower limb muscle strength, balance ability and sleep quality, and enrich their exercise methods.

Objective:To construct a training program for the life care and caring abilities of home caregivers for the aged with cognitive impairment, so as to provide a basis for conducting training.Methods:From April to May 2021, a preliminary training program was developed through literature review and group discussion. From June to July 2021, purposive sampling was used to select 12 experts from Beijing city, Hebei and Hunan provinces to conduct two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, and finally a training program for life care and caring abilities of home caregivers for the aged with cognitive impairment was constructed.Results:The effective recovery rate of the questionnaire from two rounds of expert consultation was 100.00% (12/12). The authority coefficient of 12 experts was 0.891. The Kendall's W of the first, second, and third level indicators in the second round of consultation were 0.417, 0.205 and 0.200 respectively ( P<0.05). After the second round of consultation, the average value of each item's importance assignment was > 3.500, and the coefficient of variation was < 0.250. The final training program for the life care and caring abilities of home caregivers for the aged with cognitive impairment included 4 training modules, 11 training items, and 35 training content. Training forms included PPT teaching, video learning, case analysis, role playing, operational demonstrations, practical exercises, caregiver self-sharing, and other forms. Conclusions:The training program for life care and caring abilities of home caregivers for the aged with cognitive impairment has good scientific and practical significance, and can provide a basis for the training of home caregivers for the aged with cognitive impairment.

Objective:To present the surgical details of manual double-layer suturing in patients with obesity combined type 2 diabetes mellitus by three-incision laparoscopic single-anastomosis duodenal-jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy .Methods:Clinical data and follow-up information of 52 obesity combined type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (BMI 27.59-43.71 kg/m2) who underwent three-incision laparoscopic single-anastomosis duodenal-jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy from Jan 2019 to Jul 2022 at Beijing Shijitan hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The procedure was successful in all patients. The median operative time was 120 (90, 120) min, and the median intraoperative bleeding was 20.0 (10.0, 27.5) ml. No fistula or serious surgical complications were observed in the patients at 1 month postoperatively. Compared with the preoperative period, the patient's weight decreased [(93.22±15.21) kg vs. (69.97±11.06) kg, t=21.707, P<0.01], BMI decreased [(33.11±4.09) kg/m 2vs. (24.86±2.95) kg/m 2, t=23.224, P<0.01], and the patient's fasting glucose level decreased [9.52 (7.57, 12.96) mmol/L vs. 5.47 (4.66, 6.39) mmol/L, Z=6.11, P<0.01]. The remission rate of various obesity comorbidities was greatly improved. Conclusion:Under the condition of three-incision laparoscopy, the pure manual duodenal and jejunal double-layer suture method is safe, feasible, and effective for patients with obesity combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
