Objective To study the clinical efficacy of modified Liuwei Dihuang Decoction (LDD) combined with metformin plus atorvastatin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with hyperlipidemia. Methods A total of 120 cases of T2DM patients complicated with hyperlipidemia were randomly divided into study group (N=60) and control group (N=60), which were treated with LDD combined with metformin plus atorvastatin orally, and with oral use of metformin plus atorvastatin respectively. The course of treatment lasted for 12 weeks. Before and after treatment, we compared the blood levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose(2hPG), glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1C), total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) in the two groups. After treatment, we evaluated the therapeutic effect of the two groups. Results (1) The total effective rate of the study group was 95.0％, and that of the control group was 83.3％, the effective rate of the study group being significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). (2) After treatment, the blood levels of FBG, 2hPG and HbA1C of both groups were significantly lower than pre-treatment levels (P <0.001), and the levels of FBG, 2hPG and HbA1C of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01 or P<0.001). (3) After treatment, the TC, TG and LDL-C levels of both groups were significantly lower and HDL-C was higher than pre-treatment levels (P < 0.001); the levels of TC and TG levels of the study group were significantly lower and HDL-C was higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.001). Conclusion LDD combined with metformin plus atorvastatin exerts certain effect for the treatment of T2DM complicated with hyperlipidemia, and is more effective than metformin or atorvastatin alone.

Purpose: This study attempted to detect the changes of cervical cancer screening rate and willingness among female migrants, and the associated socio-demographic factors in Shenzhen city. Materials and Methods: Two citywide surveys were conducted using a multistage random cluster sampling method in 2011 and 2014, respectively. Data on demographic characteristics, screening participation, and willingness to screen were collected. Logistic regression models were applied to detect possible associated socio-demographic characteristics, and their variations with survey years. Results: In total, 12,017 female migrants were enrolled, with a mean age (standard deviation) of 36.73 (6.55) years. From 2011 to 2014, the screening rate increased (25.8% vs. 35.1%, p < 0.001), while the willingness to screen remained stable (82.2% vs. 82.8%, p=0.46). Overall, socio-demographic characteristics of female migrants, including age, marital status, education, monthly income, employment, and medical insurance, were found to be positively associated with screening participation. Similar impacts in relation to willingness were observed except for age. However, these associations varied with survey years, mainly in the contributions of education and monthly income to screening participation, as well as age, monthly income, and medical insurance to willingness of being screened. Conclusion Identifying changes of associated socio-demographic factors precisely is warranted of necessity, which provides novel clues to adjust targeted actions regularly in promoting cervical cancer screening participation among female migrants in Shenzhen.

Objective To evaluate the methodology, feasibility, safety and efficacy of cap-assisted endoscopic sclerotherapy(CAES)for hemorrhoids. Methods Patients with grade Ⅰ to Ⅲ internal hemorrhoids underwent CAES from September 2014 to May 2016. According to the methodology of CAES, reasons for blooding were identified and polypectomy and excision of anal papilla fibroma was performed. Efficacy,intraoperative and postoperative complications and patient satisfaction were evaluated during and after CAES. The follow-up was more than three months. Results A total of 48 patients with gradeⅠ toⅢinternal hemorrhoids underwent CAES,including 25(52.1%)patients with grade Ⅰ,21(43.8%)patients with grade Ⅱ,and 2(4.2%)grade Ⅲ. During the whole procedure of CAES, colon and terminal ileum examination was performed in 48(100.0%)patients, polypectomy was performed in 14(29.2%)patients, excision of anal papilla fibroma was performed in 1(2.1%)patient, excision of external hemorrhoids was performed in 1(2.1%)patient,biopsy for the polyps on dentate line was performed in 2(4.2%)patients, and sclerotherapy for rectal mucosal prolapse was performed in 2(4.2%)patients. No bleeding was observed during and after CAES. Infection occurred in one(2.1%)patient, who recovered with a one-week anti-infective therapy. One(2.1%)patient claimed mild tenesmus within four days after CAES.No complications were observed within the three-month follow-up. All patients(100.0%)were satisfied with this novel procedure. Conclusion CAES, as a novel endoscopic sclerotherapy, is a safe and effective endoscopic therapy with high patient satisfaction for internal hemorrhoids.

Objective To explore the correlation between social support and pregnancy depression in Shenzhen. Methods From August 2018 and June 2020, a structured questionnaire survey was conducted among pregnant women who underwent pregnancy examination in a 3A-grade maternal & child health care hospital. A total of 1 396 questionnaires with complete information were collected. Chi-square test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used to analyze the baseline characteristics. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI confidence interval between social support and pregnancy depression were estimated using logistics regression model. Subgroup analysis was also conducted. Results There were statistically significant differences in education level, medical insurance rate, household registration, family monthly income, proportion of multiparas, proportion of husbands being the only child, pregnancy stress and social support between the depression group and non-depression group. After multi-factors adjustment, the OR (95% CI) of the total social support score was 0.97(95%CI 0.95-0.99), the OR (95% CI) of the objective support dimension was 0.90(95% CI 0.87-0.94), and the P value of the interaction term multiplied by pregnancy term was less than 0.05. According to the stratified analysis of pregnancy, the total score of social support was significantly correlated with the depression status only in the third trimester, with an OR (95% CI) of 0.97 (95% CI 0.94-0.99). The objective support dimension was significantly correlated with depression status in the first and third trimesters, and the OR (95% CI) was 0.78 (95% CI 0.61-0.99) and 0.89 (95% CI 0.84-0.94), respectively. The OR of support utilization score in the third trimester was 0.91 (95% CI 0.83-0.99). Conclusion Social support was negatively correlated with depression during pregnancy and was particularly important in the third trimester. Various dimensions of social support were differentially correlated with pregnancy depression in each trimester. The objective support dimension was particularly important in the first and third trimesters.
