Clostridium butyricum was incubated in 10m mol, 30m mol 50m mol and 70m mol phosphate buffer medium (pH 7.0). With the high concentration buffer, the pH value decreased more slowly. The H_2 evolution hydrogenase kept on high activity level for a longer time, While the H_2 uptake hydrogenase kept constant. So more hydrogen was produced. The hydrogen production nearly doubled in 70m mol phosphate buffer than in 10m tool phosphate buffer. The result shows that to keep pH constant can increase the H_2 production of C. butyricum.

【Objective】 To investigate the control rate of blood glucose and its influencing factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Yulin area. 【Methods】 We selected the adult type 2 diabetes patients who visited our hospital from May 2020 to December 2021 as the subjects. Then we collected their basic information (gender, age, household income, type of medical insurance payment, education level, and duration of disease), measured their height and weight, calculated their body mass index (BMI), detected HbA1c, and measured their subcutaneous and visceral fat. The Chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression methods were used to analyze the influencing factors. 【Results】 The total attainment rate of HbA1c (HbA1c<7%) among 877 adults with type 2 diabetes was 13.34%. The Chi-square test showed that statistical differences in the attainment rate of HbA1c among different ages, family annual income, type of medical insurance, and duration of disease. Further unconditional multivariate Logistic regression analysis model results showed that the HbA1c attainment rate in 18-44 years old group was 0.418 times higher than that in ≥60 years old group (95% CI=0.219-0.799, P=0.008). The HbA1c compliance rate of patients with employees’ medical insurance was 1.744 times that those with residents’ medical insurance (95% CI=1.131-2.782, P=0.013). The HbA1c attainment rate of diabetic patients with an annual family income of 30 000 yuan to 100 000 yuan was 1.873 times (95% CI=1.074-3.266, P=0.027), and with an annual family income of more than 100 000 yuan was 2.649 (95% CI=1.299-5.404, P=0.007) times than that of diabetic patients with less than 30 000 yuan. 【Conclusion】 The blood glucose control rate in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Yulin area is lower compared with the level of the nation and other regions. Age, annual household income, and type of medical insurance payment are independent influencing factors.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance in monitoring the dynamic oxygenated parameters in full-term neonates with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and its relationship with the prognosis. Methods Forty-one full-term neonates with ARDS from 3 hospitals were divided into two groups according to the clinical outcomes: the death group (n=17) and the survival group (n=24). The parameters of breathing machine and arterial blood gas analysis in these two groups at 2 h, 12 h, 24 h and 36 h after mechanical ventilation were analyzed retrospectively. PaO_2/FiO_2, A-aDO_2, PaO_2/P_AO_2 and RI were calculated and compared between the two groups and within each group among the values of different period. Results Under the circumstance that parameters of breathing machine in the death group were obviously or gradually higher than those in the survival group, PaO_2 in the death group [(10.38?1.45)kPa] was lower than that in the survival group [(11.42?0.98)kPa] only at 36 h (P0.05). In the death group, PaO_2/FiO_2 at 24 h and 36 h [(15.86?4.92)kPa and (15.99?5.62)kPa] was lower than that in the survival group [(21.18?6.48)kPa and (27.12?8.33)kPa](P0.05) . Conclusions PaO2is not a sensitive indicator on the prognosisof NRDSinits early stage . PaO2/Fi O2, A-aDO2, PaO2/PAO2and RI are better than PaO2to reflectthe degree of lung injury ,oxygen exchange rate and therapeutic efficacy . A-aDO2and PaO2/PAO2arevery sensitive in assessing the therapeutic effect and the dynamic monitoring may be helpful injudgingthe prognosis .

Objective:To investigate the diagnosis and treatment for incarceration of retroverted uterus in pregnant women.Methods:This study retrospectively recruited four gravidas with incarcerated retroverted uterus indicated by prenatal ultrasonography in Hunan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from August 2016 to February 2020. Clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of these cases were described.Results:Vaginal bleeding or discharge were the main symptoms of the four cases and prenatal ultrasound suggested incarcerated retroverted uterus. Obstetric examination was performed for all cases, except one due to small gestational age, and bulging posterior fornix was found in one case. Three cases were diagnosed in the third trimester and one at 14 gestational weeks. In light of gestations, symptoms, and anterior uterine muscle thickness, three patients underwent planned cesarean sections with a median abdominal incision and a superior transverse uterine incision after fetal lung maturation acceleration. Uterus involution was good, and the incisions healed well in these three cases, with all neonates in good condition. Following a two-week knee-chest position treatment, the position of her uterus and bladder turned normal in case 4.Conclusions:Considering the atypical clinical presentations, clinicians should be aware of incarceration of retroverted uterus when related symptoms or signs were presented. Placenta previa might be the comorbidity and should be differentially diagnosed. The timing of a cesarean section is supposed to be determined based on multiple factors. Moreover, a median abdominal incision and a superior transverse uterine incision are recommended, and an anatomic landmark is often required for the latter's accurate position.

Objective:To evaluate and compare the identification of several DNA barcoding candidate sequences on Illicium difengpi and its fake I. jiadifengpi. Method:Samples from different origins of I. difengpi and I. jiadifengpi, were collect extraction of total DNA,nuclear gene ITS2 sequence,chloroplast rbcL,matK gene sequence were selected for PCR amplification,product purification and sequencing,and CondonCode Aligner V3.7.1 was used to proofread stitching. Result:PCR amplification and sequencing of rbcL sequences of I. difengpi and I. jiadifengpi were not satisfactory. It is assumed that their rbcL sequences were too long with slow evolution,which was unsuitable for interbreeding. The success rate of matK sequencing of I. difengpi and I. jiadifengpi was 0 and 76.8%,which may be because primer standards were different for matK sequences of different groups. The results of PCR amplification and sequencing of ITS2 on I. difengpi and I. jiadifengpi were successful,with the success rate of sequencing was 89.3% and 91.2%. Analysis sequencing results, the total length of ITS2 sequences was 268 bases,and there were 2 variation sites of I. difengpi. The total length of ITS2 sequences was 430 bases,and there were 4 or 3 variation sites of I. jiadifengpi. It shows that ITS2 sequences of I. difengpi and I. jiadifengpi were short and has obvious variability and can be amplify,that ITS2 sequence was better than rbcL and matK sequence in molecular identification of I. difengpi and I. jiadifengpi. Conclusion:DNA barcoding based on ITS2 sequence was a powerful and efficient tool for identification of I. difengpi and its fake I. jiadifengpi.

【Objective】 To investigate the practice and benefit of national standardized management of type 2 diabetes in Yulin City. 【Methods】 We recruited the adult type 2 diabetes patients who sought medical help at our hospital from May 2020 to October 2022 as subjects. We collected their basic information (sex and age); measured height, weight, waist and hip circumference, and blood pressure; calculated body mass index (BMI); and detected blood glucose, c-peptide, HbA1c, biomarkers, urinary microalbumin, sensory nerve conduction velocity of lower limbs, ABI, and subcutaneous and visceral fat at the time of MMC recruited and the end of six months. T test and Mann-Whitney U rank sum test were used for measurement data and χ2 test or Fisher’s exact probability method for counting data to analyze the data. 【Results】 After 6 months, the levels of fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, and visceral and subcutaneous fat in all the patients decreased, but the level of fasting c-peptide increased compared with the baseline (all P<0.05). Secondly, compared with the baseline, the control rate of HbA1c (35.21% vs. 13.71% ) and the comprehensive control rate (13.97% vs. 7.26% ) were both significantly increased at six months (P<0.05). Thirdly, after 6 months, the levels of fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, TG, TC, and UA were decreased more, while the fasting c-peptide and postprandial c-peptide were increased more in the patients of the HbA1c standard group (HbA1c<7% ) than those of the non-standard group. 【Conclusion】 The multiple benefits of blood glucose, blood lipid, uric acid and islet function can be achieved by taking type 2 diabetes patients into MMC. Meanwhile, the rates of HbA1c control and comprehensively reaching the standard are significantly increased. Therefore, MMC can explore a new way for the management of type 2 diabetic patients in this area.
