Objective:To understand the current status of fear of falling in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis and analyze the influencing factors.Methods:The convenient sampling method was used to select maintenance hemodialysis patients admitted to BenQ Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from August to October 2022 as the research objects. A survey was conducted on patients using the general information questionnaire, modified falls efficacy scale (MFES), fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, loss of weight (FRAIL), and Braden Mobility Subscale.Results:A total of 219 questionnaires were sent out, and 219 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 100.00%. Among 219 patients with maintenance hemodialysis, 96 had fear of falling, and the incidence of fear of falling was 43.84%. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that age, type of kidney disease, fall history, and score of FRAIL were the influencing factors of fear of falling in patients with maintenance hemodialysis ( P< 0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of fear of falling in patients with maintenance hemodialysis is relatively high. Age, diabetic nephropathy, history of falls, and frailty are the risk factors for fear of falling in patients with maintenance hemodialysis. Medical staff can develop targeted intervention measures for maintenance hemodialysis patients based on risk factors to reduce their fear of falling.

Objective:To explore the effect of follow-up management of the use of insulin pumps outside hospital led by diabetes specialist nurses in type 2 diabetic patients.Methods:From April 2018 to March 2020, convenience sampling was used to select patients with type 2 diabetes who used insulin pumps in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University as the object. The patients ( n=104) enrolled from April 2018 to March 2019 were set as control group receiving conventional out-of-hospital follow-up management of insulin pump use, and patients ( n=152) enrolled from April 2019 to March 2020 were set as observation group adopted out-of-hospital follow-up management of insulin pump use led by diabetes specialist nurses, and the observation lasted for three months. The differences in fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, Scale of the Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) score and the Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale (ESCA) score, and insulin pump-related negative events were compared between the two groups of patients. Results:Before intervention, there was no significant difference in fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, SDSCA score, and ESCA score between the two groups ( P>0.05) . After intervention, the fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin of observation group were lower than those of control group, and the scores of SDSCA and ESCA were higher than those of control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin of observation group after intervention were lower than those before intervention, and the scores of SDSCA and ESCA were higher than those before intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . In control group, there were 17, 23, and 14 cases of pipeline obstruction, hypoglycemia, injection site infection or induration respectively, and observation group had 8, 7, and 5 cases of pipeline obstruction, hypoglycemia, injection site infection or induration respectively; incidences of insulin pump-related negative events of control group and observation group were 51.92% and 13.16% respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Follow-up management of out-of-hospital insulin pump use led by diabetes specialist nurses can increase the insulin adjustment self-efficacy of type 2 diabetic patients, effectively control blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin, improve self-behavior management and nursing ability, and reduce the occurrence of insulin pump-related negative events.

Objective:
To summarize the clinical data including manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) in children.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis was performed in 71 patients with pathologically proven EGE at Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2008 to January 2017. Their clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging examinations, endoscopic findings, histopathological examinations, and treatment were collected and analyzed.
Results:
Among 71 EGE cases, 47 (66%) cases were male and 24 (34%) cases were female, and the median age was 9.2 (0.2-16.5) years old. The main clinical manifestations included abdominal pain (76%, 54/71), vomiting (68%, 48/71), anorexia (54%, 38/71), weight loss (38%, 27/71), and diarrhea (37%, 26/71). There were 27 cases (38%) with a history of allergic diseases or family history. The median absolute value of eosinophil in peripheral blood of the 71 patients was 0.4 (0-36.8)×109/L, and 27 cases (38%) showed an increase in eosinophil counts. Serum IgE was measured in 52 patients (104.3 (3.4- 3 000.0)×103 U/L), and 30 patients (58%) showed an increase in serum IgE. A large number of eosinophils ((41.0±8.5)/HP) were found in 3 patients' ascites. The endoscopic examination of upper gastrointestinal tract revealed hyperemic edema in 62 cases (87%), plaque in 44 cases (62%), erosion in 17 cases (24%) and ulceration in 16 cases (23%). Histopathologically, in 8 cases (11%) the disease involved both stomach and duodeneum, in 21 cases (30%) involved stomach only, and in 37 cases (52%) involved duodeneum only. In addition, in 6 cases (8%) the disease involved esophagus and in 10 cases (14%) involved colorectum. Microscopically, eosinophil counts averaged 67/HP, 33/HP, 40/HP and 38/HP in esophageal, gastric, duodenal and colorectal mucosa respectively. A total of 34 cases were treated with glucocorticoid, and all these patients had alleviation of symptoms, which occurred within 14.9 days on average, but EGE recurred in 11 cases (32%).
Conclusions
The clinical symptoms and endoscopic findings of EGE are diverse and nonspecific. Histopathological examination of gastrointestinal mucosa is particularly important for the diagnosis. Glucocorticoid treatment is effective, but the patients with EGE are prone to relapse.
