Objective To analyze the relationship between BMI, physical activity, resting heart rate and diabetes mellitus. Methods A total of 423 patients with diabetes admitted to the Department of endocrinology of our hospital from August 2017 to August 2020 were investigated by questionnaire and physical signs were examined, and the correlation between BMI, physical activity, resting heart rate and diabetes was analyzed. Results FPG, 2 h PG and HbA1c were positively correlated with resting heart rate, BMI and physical activity (P < 0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that BMI (OR = 2.121), elevated resting heart rate (OR = 1.619) and less physical activity (OR = 0.711) were risk factors for diabetes. Conclusion The increase of BMI and resting heart rate and the decrease of physical activity will increase the risk of diabetes. It is particularly important to prevent the increase of BMI and resting heart rate and increase the physical labor appropriately.

Objective:
To analyze the clinical symptoms and hereditary information of suspicious juvenile neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis (JNCL) and determine the genotype in order to explore the diagnosis clues in the patients with ophthalmologic manifestations being initial symptom.
Methods:
A case-control study was performed in this study.Two families were included in Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical in 2013 and 2017, respectively.Medical histories were collected and all participants underwent comprehensive ophthalmologic examinations, and the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was obtained.Fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were used to image the retinal signs, and visual electrophysiology was recorded to evaluate the visual function.Genomic DNA of 3 patients who initially visited to ophthalmologists and 5 unaffected family members were extracted.Whole exome sequencing (WES), targeted exome sequencing (TES), Sanger sequencing and comprehensive analyses of pathogenicity were performed to determine the genetic cause of the patients.This study was approved by Ethics Committee of Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University (KYK-2017-7), and written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to any medical examination.
Results:
All patients presented bull eye sign and disorder of pigment on the fundus photograph, and the retinas were thinning on the OCT image, indicating the diffuse retinal pigment epithelium atrophy of macula and loss of outer layer structure of retina.Three mutations in
