Objective:To investigate the relationship between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and body mass index (BMI) in older adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:A total of 327 patients with T2DM who received treatment in Wuyunshan Sanatorium from January 2016 to May 2019 were included in the T2DM group. Patients in theT2DM group were subdivided into an MCI group ( n = 73) and a non-MCI group ( n = 254) according to whether they had MCI. An additional 100 older adult volunteers who concurrently received physical examination were included in the control group. Sex, age, years of education, monthly family income, body mass index, living habits (drinking, smoking) and laboratory indexes were compared among the groups. The influential factors of MCI in patients with T2DM were analyzed by logistic regression model. The predictive value of BMI for MCI in older adult patients with T2DM was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:Age, monthly family income, the proportion of patients with a history of diabetes mellitus, BMI, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the T2DM group were (73.10 ± 9.56) years old, 8 926 yuan RMB, 189/327, (24.18 ± 2.64) kg/m 2, (6.96 ± 0.88) mmol/L, (7.10 ± 0.84)%, (7.32 ± 0.84) mmol/L, respectively, which were higher than those in the control group [(68.28 ± 8.21) years old, 6 715 yuan RMB, 13/100, (22.30 ± 1.74) kg/m 2, (4.51 ± 0.72) mmol/L, (5.62 ± 0.68)%, (7.04 ± 0.67) mmol/L, t = 4.554, χ2 = 18.601, 61.654, t = 6.668, t = 25.360, 16.077, 3.049, all P < 0.05]. In the MCI group, the proportion of patients having a monthly family income < 5 000 yuan RMB, the proportion of patients having a history of diabetes mellitus, BMI, HbA1c value were 29/73, 60/73, (24.92 ± 2.43) kg/m 2, (7.54 ± 0.88)%, respectively , while they were 70/254, 129/254, (23.77 ± 2.59) kg/m 2, (6.92 ± 0.81)%, respectively in the non-MCI group. There were significant differences in these indexes between MCI and non-MCI groups ( χ2 = 6.144, 22.927, t = 3.389, 5.652, all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI and HbA1c were the influential factors of MCI complicated by T2DM in older adult patients ( OR = 0.274, 0.192, both P < 0.05). Monthly family income and family history of diabetes mellitus were not closely related to the development of MCI in older adult patients with T2DM ( OR = - 0.154, 0.093, both P > 0.05). The ROC curve revealed that when BMI value was 24.49 kg/m 2, Youden index was the largest (0.510), the corresponding sensitivity was 83.86%, and the specificity was 67.12%. The area under the ROC curve was 0.766 [95% CI (0.699 - 0.832)]. Conclusion:BMI is an influential factor of MCI development in older adult patients with T2DM, and may be one of the important indicators for early prediction of MCI.

By using the diagnosis related groups(DRGs) method, we analyze and compare the rationality and feasibility of outcomes and human resources distribution of clinical specialties and health care professionals.It may increase the hospital management levels and feasibility.The introduction of DRGs for the majority of hospital management may enhance the performance evaluation and human resource levels in the hospitals.

2013 witnessed the full coverage of the medical insurance lump-sum prepayment management at all hospitals above secondary level in Beijing.As a result,medical insurance management of the hospital turned its focus from“ expense settlement” to“ expense management”,with a multidimensional,multi-method,multi-sectoral and multi-index lump-sum prepayment of medical insurance management system set up.Methods and concepts introduced included diagnosis related groups (DRGs) management tools in hospitalization service management; equivalent hospital departments comparison in outpatient service for post management; the concept of total budget management concept,and the “market-operations-finance-performance” linkage mechanism for priority control of drug expenses; and focused management on key patient groups and drug/consumable suppliers.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of the combined treatment model for Wilms'tumor and to improve treatment results.Methods Fifty-five patients diagnosed with Wilms' tumor between July 1981 to June 2010 were analyzed retrospectively.Eighteen patients were diagnosed by preoperative ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy,and 53 patients were confirmed by postoperative pathology results.Seven cases were in clinical stage Ⅰ,19 cases in clinical stage Ⅱ,21 cases in stage Ⅲ,six cases in stage Ⅳ and two cases in stage Ⅴ.Thirty-five cases had histopathological subtype,30 cases had the favorable type,and five cases had the unfavorable type.Among the 55 patients,kidney tumor resection was performed on 48 cases,wide edge partial nephrectomy was performed on two cases,tumor enucleation was performed on one bilateral renal tumor case,kidney tumor resection with pulmonary metastasectomy was performed on two cases,and two cases had no surgical procedures.Eighteen cases received preoperative chemotherapy,40 cases received postoperative chemotherapy,and 12 cases received postoperative radiotherapy.Patients were grouped according to age,stage,histological type,treatment model,treatment course and whether or not they had radiotherapy.The Kaplan-Meier method was used in the evaluation and comparison of over survival (OS),disease free survival (DFS) and relapse free survival (RFS) of the different groups to reveal the relationship between different grouping factors with the prognosis of Wilms' tumor. ResultsThe median of follow-up was 34 mon ( ranging from 3 to 355 mon).The 3-year OS,5-year OS and 2-year DFS were 77.6%,69.0% and 52.4%,respectively.The differences of OS in different stages ( P =0.006 ),DFS between pure operation group and combined therapy group ( P =0.004 ) and RFS between radiotherapy group and no radiotherapy group ( P =0.03 ) were significant,P < 0.05.ConclusionsThe normative multi-disciplinary treatment model for patients with Wilms' tumor can achieve good results and is well tolerated.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2022;29(2):235-239
Objective:To investigate the incidence and influential factors of hyperuricemia in older adult patients who live in the sanatorium and to improve the prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia people.Methods:A total of 800 older adult patients living in Wuyunshan Sanatorium between June 2017 and December 2019 were recruited for this study. The prevalence of hyperuricemia was determined as per the diagnostic criteria of hyperuricemia. These patients were divided into control and hyperuricemia groups according to whether they had hyperuricemia. General data, health status, physical examination, and laboratory indices were compared between the two groups. The influential factors of hyperuricemia were analyzed using the logistic regression analysis method.Results:The incidence of hyperuricemia in older adult patients living in the sanatorium was 18% (144/800). There was significant difference in the prevalence of hyperuricemia between male and female older adults [22.17% (104/469) vs. (12.08%) (40/331), χ2 = 13.38, P < 0.001]. The incidence of hyperuricemia was significantly higher in male older adults aged 60-90 years than in female older adults at the same age brackets [18.50% (59/319) vs. 5.48% (12/219), χ2 = 19.20, P < 0.001]. The overall prevalence of hyperuricemia and the prevalences of hyperuricemia in male and female older adults significantly increased with aging ( Z = 30.47, 11.92, 24.81, P < 0.001). There were significant differences in age, sex, alcohol consumption, urinary protein-positive, exercise, the prevalences of hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, and renal insufficiency between the control and hyperuricemia groups ( χ2/ t = 2.36, 19.41, 41.18, 10.11, 50.42, 8.24, 6.43, 8.59, all P < 0.05). Age, alcohol consumption, hypercholesterolemia and renal insufficiency were independent risk factors of hyperuricemia in older adults living in sanatorium ( OR = 2.07, 2.54, 2.31, 2.76, 95% CI = 1.218-3.541, 1.740-3.729, 1.538-3.468, 1.920-3.974). Exercise was a protective factor of hyperuricemia ( OR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.356-0.694). Conclusion:Older adults living in sanatorium have a high incidence of hyperuricemia. Prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia should be strengthened in older adults who have a high risk for hyperuricemia to reduce the incidence of hyperuricemia.
