Objective : To investigate the prevalence of negative emotions in hospitalized youth patients with type 2 diabetes(T2DM) and its correlation with coping strategies and psychological resilience. Methods : 141 youth T2DM patients who met the research standards were selected. Blood glucose related indicators, blood pressure, body mass index(BMI), diabetes chronic complications screening results and other data were collected. The basic information and disease related information questionnaire, self-rating depression scale(SDS), self-rating anxiety scale(SAS), diabetes distress scale(DDS), medical coping modes questionnaire(MCMQ) and Connor-Davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC) were completed. Results: Among 141 hospitalized youth T2DM patients, 37.6% were combined with depression, 32.6% were combined with anxiety, and 35.5% were combined with diabetic distress(DD). Univariate analysis showed that systolic blood pressure(P<0.01), educational level, and the form of hospitalization expenses(P<0.05) were significantly correlated with depression. Marital status(P<0.01), family residence, blood glucose monitoring methods, and the last fasting blood glucose(P<0.05) were significantly correlated with anxiety. BMI, whether it was first diagnosed or treated(P<0.01), gender, occupation, disease course, weekly blood glucose monitoring frequency, and the presence of chronic complications(P<0.05) were significantly correlated with DD. In multivariate analysis, systolic blood pressure(P<0.01), educational level, and the form of hospitalization expenses were significantly correlated with depression, marital status(P<0.05) was significantly correlated with anxiety; BMI and weekly blood glucose monitoring frequency(P<0.01) were significantly correlated with DD. SDS, SAS, total scores and dimensions of DDS were negatively correlated with the total score and dimensions of CD-RISC(rs=-0.182--0.467, P<0.05 or 0.01), and positively correlated with the yielding coping strategies(rs=0.177-0.271,P<0.05 or 0.01). SAS,total scores and dimensions of DDS were positively correlated with avoiding coping strategies(rs=0.237-0.419,P<0.05 or 0.01). The total and dimensions of CD-RISC were positively correlated with facing coping strategies(rs=0.215-0.349,P<0.05 or 0.01),and negatively correlated with yielding coping strategies(rs=-0.234--0.325,P<0.01). Conclusion More than 30% of hospitalized youth T2DM may experience negative emotions such as depression,anxiety,and DD. The occurrence of negative emotions in such patients may be related to disease management or socio-economic issues such as systolic blood pressure,educational level,hospitalization expenses,marital status,BMI,and frequency of blood glucose monitoring,as well as decreased psychological resilience and negative coping strategies.

OBJECTIVE To observe the toxic effects of single administration and repeated administration of Qingzi granules for 13 weeks on rats, and to evaluate their preclinical safety. METHODS For the single dose toxicity experiment, SD rats were randomly divided into two groups, vehicle control group(deionized water) and Qingzi group(18 g·kg-1), which were given in a volume of 30 mL·kg-1 per time, twice in 24 h(interval more than 4 h), and observation was performed for 14 d after administration. The toxicity reaction was evaluated through observation of body weight change and pathological anatomy. For the repeated dose toxicity experiment, juvenile SD rats(postnatal day, PND 4) were randomly divided into vehicle control group (deionized water) and low, medium and high dose of Qingzi groups(1, 2 and 4 g·kg-1). The rats were orally administered twice daily with vehicle or Qingzi for 13 weeks in a volume of 10 mL·kg-1 per time. A recovery period of 4 weeks was followed. Test items included clinical observations, body weight measurement, food intake measurement, hematology test, biochemical test, urinalysis, sex hormone level determination, cellular immune function assay, growth indexes and histopathology test. RESULTS For the single dose toxicity experiment, Qingzi granules were orally administered to SD rats without significant toxicity, and the maximum-tolerated dose was greater than 18 g·kg-1. In the repeated dose toxicity test, juvenile SD rats were given Qingzi granules by gavage and repeated administration for 13 weeks, the no observed adverse effect level was 2 g·kg-1. The target organ of toxicity was the liver and the main toxic effect was inflammatory necrosis of hepatocytes, no dose-dependent relationship. CONCLUSION No overt toxicity of Qingzi granules was observed on the tested animals within the intended clinical dosage range.

The diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease (CHD), the most common inborn defect, has been a tremendous success of modern medicine. With the development of diagnostic techniques, surgical procedures and interventional techniques, more than 90% of CHD children can survive to adulthood. Consequently, the prevalence of patients with CHD has shifted away from infancy and childhood towards adulthood. Adult CHD cardiology is now encompassing not only young or middle-aged adults but also patients aged above 60 years. Standardized guidelines can provide good theoretical support for the comprehensive management of adult CHD. Ten years after the European Society of Cardiology guidelines for the management of grown-up CHD released in 2010, the new version was officially released in August 2020. The new version of guidelines updated the classification and stratification of diseases, comprehensive intervention methods and intervention timing, and put forward some new concepts, new intervention standards and methods. For adult CHD that has not been repaired or needs to be repaired again, the indication and mode of surgical intervention and perioperative management have a great impact on the prognosis. The new version of the guidelines provides a detailed description of the surgical and intervention indications and methods for different diseases, and clarifies the management methods for high-risk groups. This article attempts to interpret this newly updated guideline from the perspective of a surgeon, sort out several key diseases introduced by the guideline, and strives to provide a concise and actionable guideline for domestic counterparts.

AIM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of a newly designed silicone tube for the repair of canalicular lacerations.

METHODS: This was a prospective clinical study. Data were analyzed from 47 eyes of 47 patients presenting with traumatic canalicular laceration in our hospital from January 2013 to October 2015. The newly designed silicone tubes were inserted through the lacrimal punctum and left in the bicanaliculi for 3mo. Data of the lacrimal duct patency, epiphora, and eyelid shape were recorded.

RESULTS: Surgery was performed successfully in all cases. No complications associated with the silicone tubes occurred. In total, 41 patients(87.23%)achieved complete success, 4 patients(8.51%)achieved partial success, and 2 patients(4.26%)had surgical failure.

CONCLUSION: The newly designed silicone tube is an effective and atraumatic tool for the management of canalicular lacerations. The operation process is simple, and is easy to grasp for the surgeon.
