Objective To explore the relationship between diabetic retinopathy (DR) and intima-media thickness in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients. Methods A total of 1236 diabetic subjects who were diagnosed within 1 year, including 218 older patients, were enrolled in the study. Intima-media thickness of the right common carotid artery and femoral artery were determined using B mode ultrasonography. All subjects were ophthalmologically examined. Results The intima-media thickness values of the carotid artery and femoral artery[(0.83 ± 0.11)mm, (0. 80 ±0.11)mm] in elderly DR group were higher than those [(0. 78±0.12)mm, (0.75±0.13)mm] in elderly non-DR group(P<0.05). The prevalences of DR in IMT≥0.8 mm group[20.6%: carotid artery, 18.6%: femoral artery] were higher than those in IMT< 0.8mm group [13.0%: carotid artery, 13.6%: femoral artery] (P<0. 05). Logistic regression analysis also showed DR was associated with IMT. Conclusions DR is associated with IMT in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients, and early changes of retinopathy are associated with increased IMT.

Objective:
To analyze the status of colorectal cancer screening results in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City from 2020 to 2022, so as to provide the evidence for developing prevention and control strategies for colorectal cancer.
Methods:
According to Colorectal Cancer Screening Program for Zhejiang Key Populations, residents registered in Shangcheng District and at ages of 50 to 74 years were recruited and screened using Zhejiang Provincial Questionnaires for Assessment of Risk of Colorectal Cancer Screening among High-risk Populations and fecal immunochemical test (FIT). Residents positive for questionnaires or FIT, or both positive for questionnaires and FIT were served as a positive screening and colonoscopy should be underwent. The rates of positive screening, compliance of colonoscopy and different pathological diagnosis results were analyzed.
Results:
Totally 118 227 residents were screened in Shangcheng District from 2020 to 2022, with a positive rate of 16.00%. The positive rates of questionnaires, FIT and both questionnaires and FIT were 8.14%, 6.46% and 1.40%, respectively. Colonoscopy was performed among 6 501 cases, with a compliance rate of 34.37%. Colonoscopy detected 3 689 cases with colorectal lesions, with a detection rate of 56.75%. The detection rates of colorectal cancer, pericancer lesions and other benign lesions were 1.12%, 9.15% and 46.47%, respectively. The detection rates of positive screening, colorectal lesions and pericancer lesions were higher in men (22.16%, 61.25% and 12.45%) than those in women (11.62%, 51.98% and 5.67%; all P<0.05). The detection rates of positive screening, colorectal lesions, colorectal cancer and pericancer lesions appeared a tendency towards a rise with age (all P<0.05). The detection rates of positive screening and colorectal lesions appeared a tendency towards a decline, and the compliance rate of colonoscopy appeared a tendency towards a rise from 2020 to 2022 (all P<0.05). The detection rate of pericancer lesions was higher among questionnaire and FIT positive residents (65.37%, P<0.05).
Conclusions
The detection rates of colorectal cancer and pericancer lesions in Shangcheng District from 2020 to 2022 were 1.12% and 9.15%, respectively. Men, the elderly, questionnaire and FIT positive residents are key populations, and the compliance of colonoscopy for the populations should be improved.

Objective To investigat the changes of hemodynamics and arterial blood gas during the establishment of ECMO model and provide an ideal platform for the study of the mechanism of DCD protection using ECMO, a porcine model of controlled donors of cardiac death (CDCD) with extracorporeal support was established in the paper. Methods Eight domestic crossbred pigs were anes-thetized, atracurium (1mg/kg) and heparin (150~200 U/kg) was administered and the ventilator was discontinued while the animal was under deep anesthesia to kill the animal.Meanwhile, blood was drained from the left jugular vein catheter into the ECMO circuit and re-turned into the left femoral artery to establish the porcine model of CDCD with extracorporeal support . The average blood press and arterial blood gas were ministered at normal, cardiac arrest and ECMO supporting 1 h, 3 h and 5 h. Results The model of CDCD with extra-corporeal support was established successfully.Two animals restored the beating of the heart and the high doses of potassium chloride were given untill cardiac arrest during extracorporeal support.Blood gases throughout the apneic time showed a severe hypoxemia and acidosis, pH and PaO2 reduced to 7.09 ±0.24 and 5.3 ±0.93mmHg respective-ly, which can be improved during extracorporeal support.MAP and PaO2 were maintained over 300mmHg and 65mmHg respectively. Conclusion A new porcine model of controlled donors of cardiacdeath with extracorporeal support has been successfully established and showed to be feasible for related pathophysiological research work.
