Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2010;16(12):1149-1151
ObjectiveTo explore the validity of Frenchay Activities Index on Chinese stroke patients.MethodsThe 39 stroke patients as stroke group and 39 healthy subjects as control group were assessed by the same rater using Frenchay Activities Index twice. In the first assessment, Barthel index was addititionally used to measure the activities of daily living for the stroke group. The Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to analyse the concurrent validity of the Barthel Index and Frenchay Activities Index in the stroke group. The paired t test was used to compare the scores of Frenchay Activities Index between two groups.ResultsThe correlation coefficient of Frenchay Activities Index and Barthel Index was 0.727 in the stroke group(P<0.001). The scores of each items and the total scores of the Frenchay Activities Index in the stroke group were significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.01).ConclusionFrenchay Activities Index is acceptable for stroke.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is commonly associated with cardiovascular, renal complications, osteoporosis and other comorbidities. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) can reduce blood glucose level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by promoting urine glucose excretion, and has the effect of weight loss and blood pressure reduction. Large randomized controlled clinical trials have shown that SGLT-2i can improve the prognosis of cardiovascular disease and diabetic nephropathy. This article focuses on the effects of SGLT-2i on cardiorenal outcomes and bone metabolism in addition to the glucose-lowering effect. SGLT-2i can improve the prognosis of patients with coronary atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure, reduce cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality, and has renal protective effect. Moreover, the cardiorenal protective effect is proved to be consistent in people without type 2 diabetes. SGLT-2i has a regulatory effect on bone mineral ions and bone metabolism related hormones, and its risk of osteoporosis and fracture deserves attention. Although data suggest that canagliflozin may increase fracture risk, meta-analyses of multiple clinical trials have concluded that SGLT-2i does not significantly increase fracture risk. However, for patients with high risk of fracture, bone mineral density and bone turnover biomarkers should be considered to assess the risk of fracture before prescription.
8.Co-occurrence trend and association study of Internet addiction and depressive symptoms among students in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(9):1294-1298
Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of Internet addiction and depression of students, and to analyze the co-occurrence and trend, so as to provide a theoretical basis for prevention and controlling measures of Internet addiction and depression.
Methods:
A total of 6 317,7 152,81 808,71 180 and 89 932 students aged 10 to 24 years from 12 leagues (103 banners) in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region were selected by stratified random cluster sampling in September each year from 2017 to 2021. The Internet Addiction Scale and the Central for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CES-D) was used to measure Internet addiction and depression. And the annual inspection rate, group difference and annual change trend in students were calculated. Multivariate linear regression and restricted cubic spline analysis were used to estimate the linear and non linear associations between Internet addiction and depression in students.
Results:
The Internet addiction proportion in students gradually decreased from 4.1% in 2017 to 2.1% in 2020, but increased to 3.9% in 2021. And the depressive symptoms proportion increased from 20.9% in 2017 to 28.0% in 2020 and 27.0% in 2021. The detection rate of Internet addiction and depression comorbidities remained at 1.8% to 2.5 %. The Internet addiction proportion in boys was higher than that in girls( χ 2=42.82, P <0.05). The depressive symptoms prevalence in girls was higher than that in boys( χ 2= 553.90, P <0.05). Taking reversal in prevalence of Internet addiction in urban and rural areas was observed in 2019. The detection rates of depressive symptoms and comorbidity were higher in urban areas than these in suburban counties on the whole, and the difference showed a trend of decreasing or even equalizing year by year. Internet addiction was positively correlated with depressive symptoms score ( B=1.67, 95%CI =1.64-1.71), the proportion of depressive symptoms ( OR=1.39, 95%CI =1.38-1.41) and the proportion of major depressive symptoms ( OR=1.35, 95%CI =1.33-1.36) among students in 2021 ( P <0.05). An N-shaped curve was found in the significant nonlinear associations between internet addiction and depression across sex, region and school stage.
Conclusion
Internet addiction and depression in students show significant linear and non-linear associations, which are consistent in different sexes, regions and school stages. Therefore, relevant measures should be made and implemented in each region, especially in suburb areas, so as to prevent the increasingly development of adolescents and children s Internet addiction and depression.

Objective:To investigate the clinical outcomes of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) undergoing surgical resection.Methods:Patients who undergoing radical surgical resection for ICC from Jan 2015 to Apr 2021 at the Department of General Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were included in this retrospective cohort study.Results:There were 67 patients in the final analysis, The median follow-up duration was 14 months (range: 1-60 months). Firty three patients (79.1%) had tumor recurrence, 52 patients (77.6%) died, Among them, 49 patients (73.1%) died from tumor recurrence. The 1-、2-、and 3-year accumulated disease-free and overall survival rate were 35.6%, 19.6%, 16.8% and 53.7%, 32.4%, 20.8%. respectively. The overall survival rate of the group without microvascular invasion was significantly better than those of the group with microvascular invasion ( χ2=5.916, P=0.015). CA19-9≥1 000 U/ml was the only independent risk factor for the disease-free survival. CA19-9≥1 000 U/ml、blood loss≥600 ml、microvascular invasion and tumor recurrence were the independent risk factors for the overall survival. Conclusion:For ICC patients with single tumor, when the tumor diameter is less than 5 cm and has no microvascular invasion, surgical resection is recommended, and a satisfactory prognosis could be achieved.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical efficacy of treating different diseases with the same acupuncture comprehensive therapy and intramuscular injection of ranibizumab in the treatment of macular edema, and to explore an effective treatment.
METHODSA retrospective study was conducted, ①Acupuncture combined with EA at Xinming one (Extra), Sizhukong (TE 23), Tongziliao (GB 1), once every other day; ②acupoint injection, alternation with compound anisodine and mecobalamine injection at Qiuhou (EX-HN 7), Taiyang (EX-HN 5), once every other day; ③auricular acupressure at yan (LO), gan (CO), shen (CO) and other points; ④plum-blossom needle at Zhengguang 1 (Extra), Zhengguang 2 (Extra), once every other day were given in the acupuncture group (20 cases, 24 affected eyes). Intramuscular injection of 0.5 mg ranibizumab was given in the ranibizumab group (22 cases, 23 affected eyes). The macular foveal thickness, early treatment diabetic retinopathy study of (ETDRS) visual acuity chart, self-evaluation scores of visual function impairment ophthalmopathy patient's quality of life scale were observed before treatment, after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of treatment, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated.
RESULTS①At all the observation time points of the treatment, the macular thickness was lower than that before treatment in the two groups (all <0.05), and there was no significant difference between the acupuncture group and the ranibizumab group (all >0.05). ②Visual acuity was higher than that before treatment at all the time points in the two groups (all <0.05). After 3-months treatment, there was no statistical significance between the two groups (>0.05). After 6, 9, and 12 months treatment, the visual acuity in the acupuncture group was better than that in the ranibizumab group (<0.05, <0.01). ③At all the time points, the quality of life scores were lower than those before treatment in the two groups (all <0.05). There was no statistical significance in the ranibizumab group compared with those before treatment (all >0.05). In 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of treatment, the quality of life scores in the acupuncture group was better than those in the ranibizumab group (<0.05, <0.01). ④The total effective rate of the acupuncture group was 79.2% (19/24), which was better than 30.4% (7/23) in the ranibizumab group (<0.05). ⑤The improvement of visual acuity before and after treatment was negatively correlated with the course of disease (<0.05), ie, the longer the disease course of the eyes, the worse the visual acuity and the worse the effect.
CONCLUSIONAcupuncture comprehensive treatment can effectively treat macular edema, significantly improve the patient's vision, improve the subjective experience and the quality of life, and the shorter the course of the disease the more significant effect. Acupuncture comprehensive treatment is better than intramuscular injection of ranibizumab.
