Objective To study the effect of homecare on the health of diabetic patients in China. Methods A retrieval was done all on CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database, China Biological Medicine. After excluding the literature out of the criteria, the meta-analysis was performed to compare the intervention group and control one in terms of the fasting plasma glucose , 2-hour postprandial blood glucose , quality of life , treatment compliance , standardized mean difference ( SMD ) and risk ratio ( RR ) . Results 12 RCTs, which involved 1,193 participants including 596 patients in the intervention group and 597 patients in the control group, were included in the final analysis. The fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, the quality of life, treatment compliance of the intervention group were significantly better than those of the control group , with effect size and 95% CI: SMD =-1.77, 95%CI (-2.28,-1.26);SMD=-1.62, 95%CI (-2.28,-0.95);SMD=1.31, 95%CI (0.50, 2.13);RR=1.27, 95%CI (1.13, 1.43) (P<0.01). Conclusion Homecare can improve the plasma glucose and quality of life of patients with diabetes and can help them to develop a healthy lifestyle.

Objective To compare the efficacy of vidarabine monophosphate and ribavirin for treating hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) in children.Methods 120 children with HFMD and admitted to a hospital from April 2013 to April 2015 were randomly divided into observation group and control group,60 cases in each group,observation group treated with vidarabine monophosphate,control group treated with ribavirin,the therapeutic efficacy between two groups were compared.Results After treatment,the negative conversion rate of intestinal virus EV and EV71,as well as Coxsackie virus A16(CA16) in observation group were 87.0％,85.7％,and 93.1％ respectively,in control group were 64.0％,69.8％,and 78.6％ respectively,difference between two groups was statistically significant (all P＜0.05).The average length of hospital stay in observation group was shorter than control group ([4.5 ± 1.3] days vs [6.2 ± 1.2] days,P＜0).05),symptom(fever,stomatitis,skin rash) control time in observation group were all shorter than control group(all P＜0.05).Whether patients with or without complication,therapeutic effect of the observation group was better than that of control group;myocardial enzyme data,C reactive protein (CRP),and white blood cell(WBC) in observation group were all lower than control group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Efficacy of vidarabine monophosphate for treating children with HFMD is better than ribavirin,but it needs further study.

Objective To study the expression of Bcl-2 and E2F-1 in human adenomyosis and to explore the correlation between the expression and pathogenesis of human adenomyosis. Methods Immunohistochemical S-P method was employed to detect the expression of Bcl-2 and E2F-1 in 58 specimens of ectopic endometrium, eutopic endometrium of adenomyosis and 30 specimens of normal endometrium. Results The expression of Bcl-2 and E2F-1 in ectopic and eutopic endometrium of adenomyosis were significantly higher than those of normal endometrium (P

Objective To study the inconsistent relation of twin discordancy and the umbilical artery blood flow parameter of systolic/diastolic ratio.Methods 358 pregnant women were divided into the two groups of develop-mental nonidentity( n=67 ) and developmental identity ( n=291 ) according to the criterion that the differences of twins weight exceeded 25 percent.The umbilical artery blood flow parameter of systolic/diastolic ratio were observed. Meanwhile,the difference of weight and the umbilical artery blood flow parameter of systolic/diastolic ratio in the group of developmental nonidentity were observed.Results A significant difference of the umbilical artery blood flow parameter of systolic/diastolic ratio were found in the two groups of developmental nonidentity and developmental identity(7.81%vs 32.56%,P<0.05).There were 56 cases that twins weight exceeded from 25 to 35 percent,7 cases that twins weight exceeded from 35 to 45 percent and 4 cases that twins weight exceeded 45 percent in the group of developmental nonidentity which the umbilical artery blood flow parameter of systolic/diastolic ratio were (23.66 ± 5.78)%,(27.16 ±7.25)% and (33.16 ±4.23)% correspondingly with significant difference(F=23.21,P<0.05 ) .Conclusion The umbilical artery blood flow parameter of systolic/diastolic ratio has significance in diagnosis of twin discordancy.

Background:Clinical features and outcomes of heart failure (HF) with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) remain controversial.Thus,we systematically reviewed literatures of clinical research to assess and analyze characteristics and prognosis of patients with HFmrEF.Methods:PubMed,Embase,and Web of Science were searched for cohort studies up to April 23,2019.Clinical features and multivariate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of endpoints of short-term all-cause mortality (SAM),long-term all-cause mortality (LAM),long-term cardiovascular death (LCD) and long-term HF rehospitalization (LHR) among patients with HFmrEF and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF),HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) were well addressed.The primary outcome was LAM.Results:Totally 19 studies were included in this study with 164,678 patients enrolled.The follow-up time of LAM was 3.6 ± 2.5 years.HRs of LAM,SAM,LCD,LHR indicated that the risks of patients with HFmrEF were higher than HFpEF patients but lower than HFrEF patients,as for LAM,HFmrEF:HFpEF (reference) HR:1.07,95％ confidence interval (CI):1.00-1.15 (I2=63％,P =0.0005);HFmrEF:HFrEF (reference) HR:0.80,95％ CI:0.73-0.88 (I2=70％,P ＜ 0.0001).However,HFmrEF patients had the lowest rate in LAM (30.94％),SAM (2.73％),LCD (17.45％),LHR (26.36％) compared with the other two groups.Conclusions:This systematic review and meta-analysis compared features and prognosis between patients with HFmrEF and HFpEF,HFrEF by HRs.There appeared a special "separation phenomenon" showing rates of endpoints were inconsistent with their hazards in patients with HFmrEF compared with HFpEF patients.

Objective:To investigate the number and distribution of macrophages (Mφ) and natural killer(NK) cells in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), paraneoplastic,cirrhosis and normal liver tissues and their relationship with the prognosis of HCC patients.　Methods:Surgical specimens from 60 cases of HCC, 62 cases of cirrhosis and 23 cases of normal liver tissues were investigated by immunohistochemical staining of CD68 and CD57 with a streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase detective system.The correlation of the number of Mφ and NK cells in different tissues with the clinical tumor parameters was also studied.　Results:①The order of the number of Mφ from the highest to the lowest was:paraneoplastic,cirrhosis, normal, HCC(P<0.05)；and the number of NK cells from the highest to the lowest was:HCC, paraneoplastic, normal, cirrhosis(P<0.05).②The number of Mφ decreased successively with the decrease of the HCC differentiation(P<0.05)；There was no relationship between the number of NK cells in HCC and histological grade. ③There was no relationship between the number of Mφ in HCC and clinical TNM stage ；The number of NK cells in HCC had degressive tendency with the clinical TNM stage(P<0.05). ④The number of Mφ and NK cells in HCC in the cases with metastasis in 15 months was significantly lower than that without metastasis(P<0.05, 0.01）.⑤There was a linear positive correlation between the number of Mφ and NK cells in HCC (r＝0.344, P<0.05).　Conclusion:The number of Mφ and NK cells in HCC in the cases with metastasis is significantly lower than that without metastasis；The number of Mφ has a close correlation with the HCC differentiation, and positive correlation with the number of NK cells；The number of Mφ and NK cells might be important markers to estimate the immune status and useful factors to predict the prognosis of HCC patients.
