This study was to evaluate the effect of individualized health education on blood glucose control in type 2 diabetic(T2D)Patients.Two hundred and thirty-eight T2D patients were randomly received individualized diabetes education(intervention group)or general education(control group).At 48 week,change of blood glucose control from baseline was observed.The blood glucose level and HbA1c in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group[(7.1±0.8)vs (9.3±6.5)mmol/L,(7.0 ±1.3)%vs(8.0%±1.0)%;P<0.05].Thus,individualized diabetes education might be helpful for blood glucose control in T2D patients.

As a large family of hydrolases, GTPases are widespread in cells and play the very important biological function of hydrolyzing GTP into GDP and inorganic phosphate through binding with it. GTPases are involved in cell cycle regulation, protein synthesis, and protein transportation. Chaperones can facilitate the folding or refolding of nascent peptides and denatured proteins to their native states. However, chaperones do not occur in the native structures in which they can perform their normal biological functions. In the current study, the chaperone activity of the conserved GTPases of Escherichia coli is tested by the chemical denaturation and chaperone-assisted renaturation of citrate synthase and α-glucosidase. The effects of ribosomes and nucleotides on the chaperone activity are also examined. Our data indicate that these conserved GTPases have chaperone properties, and may be ancestral protein folding factors that have appeared before dedicated chaperones.

At present,the network media reports of Chinese medical disputes appeared blowout growth,and also brought the loss of propriety,the loss of balance,the loss of justice and other ethical issues while it played the role of public opinion supervision in the medical disputes.In view of these,from the concept definition of ethics anomie in network media report of medical disputes,this paper analyzed and interpreted the ethics anomie in network media report of medical disputes,pointed out existing problems and further put forward creating the network media professional ethics norms,establishing a social supervisory system which integrates self-discipline and heteronomy,building a doctor-patient docking platform and other perfecting countermeasures.

ObjectiveTo investigate the menstrual conditions of women infected with COVID-19 in Shanghai and analyze the influencing factors. MethodsFrom December 2022 to March 2023, menstrual data from 281 women infected with COVID-19 in Shanghai were collected with a questionnaire survey, including usual menstrual characteristics, the most recent menstrual period post-infection, symptoms of infection, and medication usage. According to the crossover period between the menstrual period and the infection period of the respondents, the samples were divided into two groups for comparative analysis: those whose menstrual and infection periods overlapped (positive group) and those whose menstruation started after conversion to virus-negative (negative conversion group). ResultsAmong the 281 respondents, 196 (65.8%) experienced menstrual changes. Among them, 145 (51.6%) had changes in menstrual volume, color and texture, and 109 (38.8%) had changes in menstrual duration or cycle. Decreased menstrual volume (22.1%), darker color (23.49%), thicker texture (21.0%), increased blood clots (16.7%), and prolonged duration (21.8%) were observed in both groups. The rate of changes in menstrual volume, color, and texture was higher in the positive group (56.8%, 69/110) than that in negative group (37.3%, 76/171) (P<0.05). Regarding the menstrual cycle changes, the rate of early onset was higher in the positive group (14.5%) compared to the negative conversion group (3.5%)(P<0.05), while the rate of delayed menstruation was higher in the negative conversion group (25.1%) than that in the positive group (5.5%) (P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed a weak association between sore throat and menstrual changes (r=0.154, P<0.05). ConclusionSome women infected with COVID-19 experience short-term changes in their menstrual conditions, characterized by reduced volume, darker color, thick texture, increased clots, and prolonged menstrual duration, reflecting a pathogenesis of blood stasis. Menstruation during the infection period tends to occur earlier, while delayed menstruation is more prevalent at post-conversion.
