Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of standardized management for patients with type 2 diabetes in Beijing Qinan community.Methods Total 484 patients with type 2 diabetes in Qinan community were under standardized management.A cross-sectional study on the effectiveness of diabetes management was conducted in December 2016 based on the health records and clinic medical records.Results The mean age was(71.2 ± 11.2) years,the duration of diabetes was (12.2 ± 7.8) years,the mean BMI was(24.76 ± 3.06) kg/m2 in 484 patients.The TC was(5.08 ± 3.27) mmol/L and LDL-C was(2.72 ±0.78)mmol in 383 patients.The rate of achieving the target level of fasting blood-glucose was 51.96% (199/383);the rate of achieving glycosylated hemoglobin target was 60.08% (155/258);and the rate of achieving quick fasting blood-glucose target was 51.49% (52/101).There were 80.37% (389/484) patients with clinic blood pressure < 140/90 mmHg(1 mmHg =0.133 kPa),36.57% patients (177/484) had normal BMI;and 17.83% patients (46/258) with controlled clinic blood pressure,fasting blood glucose,glycosaylated hemoglobin and LDL-C.There were 53.79% patients with LDL-C < 2.6 mmol/L and 23.24% with HDL-C ≥ 1.0 mmol/L.The patients with fasting glucose < 7.8 mmol/L had lower LDL-C than the patients with fasting glucose ≥ 7.8 mmol/L,(F =4.42,P =0.04),The patients with fasting glucose < 7.8mmol/L had higher HDL-C than the patients with fasting glucose ≥ 7.8 mmol/L (Z =-2.30,P =0.02).The rate of achieving glycosylated hemoglobin target was decreased with the increasing of disease duration (x2 =12.57,P =0.01).Conclusion The comprehensive target-reaching rate of type 2 diabetes patients with standardization management in Qinan community is relatively low.It is necessary to strengthen the control of blood lipid,body weight and blood pressure for improving the effectiveness of standardized management of diabetic patients.

Patients aged ≥65 years with dementia diagnosed by neurological specialists were selected in Yuetan community from March 2016 to December 2016.The basic information of patients was collected from the health and medical records;the needs for community care were obtained through a questionnaire survey.Total 91 elderly patients with dementia was included in the study,among whom 15 (16.5%) were found by community institutions,18 (19.9%) patients got medication from the community health institutions.The survey showed that the numbers of participants who agreed that the community health service could provide treatment,drug prescription,referral service,condition assessment,regular follow-up,professional guidance for caregivers,door-to-door service and counseling services for patients and their relatives were 29 (31.8%),18 (19.9%),33 (36.3%),19 (20.9%),23 (25.3%),24 (26.4%),49 (53.8%) and 29 (31.9%),respectively.Results showed that 53.8% (49/91) dementia patients or their family members wanted to receive instruction of drug use in community health service,17.6% (16/91) wanted to know about the professional care skill as caregivers.Currently the services for dementia patients in health service centers and stations of Yuetan community are less sufficient,which cannot meet the needs of dementia patients and their family members.

Background:The musk glands of adult male Chinese forest musk deer(Moschus berezovskii Flerov,1929)(FMD),which are considered as special skin glands,secrete a mixture of sebum,lipids,and proteins into the musk pod.Together,these components form musk,which plays an important role in attracting females during the breeding season.However,the relationship between the musk glands and skin of Chinese FMD remains undiscovered.Here,the musk gland and skin of Chinese FMD were examined using histological analysis and RNA sequencing(RNA-seq),and the expression of key regulatory genes was evaluated to determine whether the musk gland is derived from the skin.Methods:A comparative analysis of musk gland anatomy between juvenile and adult Chinese FMD was conducted.Then,based on the anatomical structure of the musk gland,skin tissues from the abdomen and back as well as musk gland tissues were obtained from three juvenile FMD.These tissues were used for RNA-seq,hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,immunohistochemistry(IHC),western blot(WB),and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)experiments.Results:Anatomical analysis showed that only adult male FMD had a complete glandular organ and musk pod,while juvenile FMD did not have any well-developed musk pods.Transcriptomic data revealed that 88.24%of genes were co-expressed in the skin and musk gland tissues.Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)signaling pathway analysis found that the genes co-expressed in the abdomen skin,back skin,and musk gland were enriched in biological development,endocrine system,lipid metabolism,and other pathways.Gene Ontology(GO)enrichment analysis indicated that the genes expressed in these tissues were enriched in biological processes such as multicellular development and cell division.Moreover,the Metascape predictive analysis tool demonstrated that genes expressed in musk glands were skin tissue-specific.qRT-PCR and WB revealed that sex-determining region Y-box protein 9(Sox9),Caveolin-1(Cav-1),and androgen receptor(AR)were expressed in all three tissues,although the expression levels differed among the tissues.According to the IHC results,Sox9 and AR were expressed in the nuclei of sebaceous gland,hair follicle,and musk gland cells,whereas Cav-1 was expressed in the cell membrane.Conclusions:The musk gland of Chinese FMD may be a derivative of skin tissue,and Sox9,Cav-1,and AR may play significant roles in musk gland development.
