Objective To explore the value of OMOM capsule endoscopy in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases in the elderly patients.Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data on 86 elderly patients completed OMOM capsule endoscopy during May 2008 to April 2013 were performed.Results All the patients were well tolerated,and capsules were successfully excreted.The mean detention time in gastrointestinal was 50.64 min,the mean run time was 315.86 min.Thirty-eight (44.19％,38/86) patients gained positive diagnosis.In 45 patients with unknown reason,28 patients (62.22％,28/45) gained positive diagnosis.In 28 patients with abdominal pain and diarrhea,5 patients gained positive diagnosis.In 4 patients with other reason,no patients gained positive diagnosis.Conclusions The manipulation of OMOM capsule endoscopy is simple,safe and effective.And the elderly patients can tolerate well.Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding is the main reason to check,and has a higher diagnostic yield.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods The demographic and clinical data of 5078 T2DM patients in six communities of Shanghai were collected during September 2014 to April 2015. The risk factors of microvascular complications in T 2DM were analyzed by classification tree model .Results Among 5078 T2DM patients there were 1007 cases of diabetic retinopathy (DR) (21.1%) and 1937 cases of diabetic nephropathy (DN) (38.4%).The classification tree models showed that the risk factors of DR were higher hemoglobin A1C ( HbA1c), fasting blood glucose ( FBG), postprandial blood glucose ( PBG) and triacylglycerol ( TG) levels;longer course of disease and younger age of onset .The model showed that the risk factors of DN were higher HbA1c, FBG, hypertension, PBG, body mass index ( BMI ) and triacylglycerol (TG) levels;and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level.The HbA1c, course of disease and PBG were more closely related to DR and HbA 1c, hypertension and FBG were more closely related to DN.Conclusion HbA1c is the most important risk factor to microvascular complications; FBG and PBG are independent risk factors of microvascular complications;the course of disease and hypertension are risk factors of DR and DN , respectively .

Objective To investigate the outcomes of patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Shanghai communities and the influencing factors.Methods From October 2015 to April 2016,533 type 2 diabetic patients with DR were selected by target sampling and cluster random sampling method from six community health service centers in Shanghai.Patients were followed up for 1 year.The demographic information,physical examination,laboratory tests and eye fundus exam results were documented and the DR was graded.The factors associated with the regression of DR were analyzed.Results Total 478 patients,including 280 females (58.6％) and 198 males (41.4％),were followed up for 1 year.The mean age of patients was (64±7) years and the mean disease duration was (8.85±4.20) years.The original DR lesion was remitted in 35 patients with an improvement rate of 7.3％;while the original DR lesion was aggravated in 29 patients with a progression rate of 6.1％.Ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed that age (OR=0.197,95％CI:0.056-0.699),body mass index (BMI) (OR=0.383,95％CI:0.171-0.856),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc) (OR=0.287,95％CI:0.102-0.803),triglycerides (TG) (OR=0.541,95％CI:0.295-0.991),urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR)(OR=0.218,95％CI:0.066-0.720) were associated with DR in type 2 diabetic patients.Conclusion The regression of DR is closely related to age,BMI,glucose,serum lipids and renal function,so it is suggested that lowering BMI,controlling glucose and serum lipids and maintaining normal kidney function are necessary for preventing the progression and promoting the improvement of DR in diabetic patients.
