Objective To analyze the relationship between serum vitamin D level and the risk of type 2 diabetes in Harbin residents. Methods On April 2010, 24 communities in 7 districts of Harbin were selected as research sites using multi?stage stratified cluster random sampling method. A total of 9 734 residents aged 20-74 years was investigated using general questionnaire survey, dietary survey and biochemical indicators test and followed up from January 2015 to July 2016. A total of 4 721 subjects with serum vitamin D were included in the study. According to the quartile of baseline serum vitamin D, the subjects were divided into four groups, from Q1 to Q4 group. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between serum vitamin D and the risk of type 2 diabetes. A mediation analysis model was used to analyze the mediating role of insulin resistance in this risk relationship. Results At the time of follow?up, 432 patients with type 2 diabetes were screened. The median (P25, P75) age of the diabetic group and the non?diabetic group were 54 (49, 61) and 51 (43, 57) years, respectively, and males accounted for 40.5% (175 cases) and 35.5% (1 513 cases), respectively. The median (P25, P75) serum vitamin D was 16.0 (13.5, 18.5) and 17.4 (14.3, 20.5) ng/ml, respectively. After relevant confounders and insulin resistance index (HOMA?IR) were adjusted, compared to the serum vitamin D level Q1 group, the risk of diabetes was reduced by 40% in the Q 3 group with RR (95%CI ) about 0.60 (0.44-0.82), while the risk of diabetes was reduced by 59% in Q 4 group with RR (95%CI ) about 0.41 (0.29-0.57). Through mediation analysis, the Gutt index mediating effect representing peripheral insulin resistance was 53.8%, and the mediating effect of HOMA?IR representing hepatic insulin resistance was 6.6%. Conclusion The risk of type 2 diabetes is low in Harbin residents with higher serum vitamin D level. Insulin resistance has a mediating effect on the relationship of vitamin D and the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Factor analysis was used to analyze dietary patterns. According to the quartile of dietary magnesium intake, the subjects were divided into four groups, from Q1 to Q4 group. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between dietary magnesium intake and the risk of type 2 diabetes within different dietary patterns. Results A total of 998 subjects with type 2 diabetes were screened. The median age of the diabetic group and the non?diabetic group were 54.8 and 50.8, respectively, and the males accounted for 43.4% (2 896 cases) and 34.6% (433 cases), respectively. The magnesium intake median (P25, P75) of two groups was 336.36 (257.31, 440.65) and 339.50 (264.51, 443.78) mg/d. Four dietary patterns were identified as western dietary mode, savvy dietary mode, traditional dietary mode, and staple food mode. In the western dietary model, the Q4 group had a higher risk of type 2 diabetes than Q1 group, with an OR (95%CI) value of 1.56 (1.06 to 2.32). However, in the savvy diet mode, compared with the Q1 group, the risk of diabetes in the Q4 group was lower, and the OR (95%CI) value was 0.61 (0.37 to 0.96). There was no statistically significant association between dietary magnesium intake and the risk of type 2 diabetes without considering dietary patterns (P>0.05). Conclusion Dietary magnesium intake has a different relationship with the risk of type 2 diabetes within different dietary patterns.

Objective:To observe the changes of lung function and inflammatory factors in rat models of coal workers' pneumoconiosis at different time points.Methods:In June 2021, 96 healthy male SD rats with SPF grade were divided into 1, 3, and 6-month control group and dust staining group (coal dust group, coal silica dust group, quartz group) according to random number table method, with 8 rats in each group. After one week of adaptive feeding, a one-time non-exposed tracheal perfusion method (1 ml/ piece) was used. The dust dyeing group was given 50 g/L coal dust, coal silica mixed dust and quartz dust suspension, respectively, and the control group was given 0.9% normal saline solution. At 1, 3 and 6 months after perfusion, lung function was detected by animal lung function apparatus, then all lung tissues and alveolar lavage fluid were killed, and lung histopathological morphological changes were observed by HE staining, and the contents of interleukin (IL-1β), IL-18, IL-4 and IL-10 in alveolar lavage fluid were detected by ELISA. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare groups. Two factors (inter-group treatment factor (4 levels) and observation time factor (3 levels) ) were used in the analysis of the effects of inter-group treatment and treatment time on related indicators.Results:HE staining results showed that coal spot appeared in the lung tissue of coal dust group, coal spot and coal silicon nodule appeared in the lung tissue of coal dust group, and silicon nodule appeared in the lung tissue of quartz group. Compared with the control group, the forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume at 0.2 second (FEV 0.2) of rats in the dust staining group had interaction between the treatment and treatment time ( P<0.05). With the increase of dust dyeing time, FVC and FEV 0.2 decreased significantly at 3-6 months of dust dyeing, and the maximum gas volume per minute (MVV) decreased significantly at 1-3 months of dust dyeing ( P<0.05). The lowest lung function index was in quartz group, followed by coal-silica group and coal-dust group. There were statistically significant differences in the main effect and interaction effect of the pro-inflammatory factor IL-18 among all groups in treatment and treatment time (IL-18: F=70.79, 45.97, 5.90, P<0.001), and interaction existed. The highest content of inflammatory factors in alveolar lavage fluid of all dust groups was quartz group, followed by coal silica group and coal dust group. There were significant differences in the main effect and interaction effect of anti-inflammatory factors between groups and treatment time (IL-4: F=41.55, 33.01, 5.23, P<0.001, <0.001, <0.001; IL-10: F=7.46, 20.80, 2.91, P=0.002, <0.001, 0.024), and there was interaction. The highest content of anti-inflammatory factor was in quartz group, followed by coal silica group and coal dust group. Conclusion:Lung function decreased and levels of inflammatory fators increased in rat models of coal workers' pneumoconiosis, with the quartz group being the most severely damaged. Lung function is mainly impaired in thrid-six months, and the content of inflammatory factors begins to change in first-thrid months. MVV are the earliest and most obvious in lung function. IL-18 is suitable for monitoring changes in the pro-inflammatory response of coal workers' pneumoconiosis, and IL-10 is suitable for monitoring changes in anti-inflammatory response.

Objective To construct a precise model for identifying traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)constitutions,thereby offering optimized guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment plan-ning,and ultimately enhancing medical efficiency and treatment outcomes. Methods First,TCM full-body inspection data acquisition equipment was employed to col-lect full-body standing images of healthy people,from which the constitutions were labelled and defined in accordance with the Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire(CCMQ),and a dataset encompassing labelled constitutions was constructed.Second,heat-suppres-sion valve(HSV)color space and improved local binary patterns(LBP)algorithm were lever-aged for the extraction of features such as facial complexion and body shape.In addition,a dual-branch deep network was employed to collect deep features from the full-body standing images.Last,the random forest(RF)algorithm was utilized to learn the extracted multifea-tures,which were subsequently employed to establish a TCM constitution identification mod-el.Accuracy,precision,and F1 score were the three measures selected to assess the perfor-mance of the model. Results It was found that the accuracy,precision,and F1 score of the proposed model based on multifeatures for identifying TCM constitutions were 0.842,0.868,and 0.790,respectively.In comparison with the identification models that encompass a single feature,either a single facial complexion feature,a body shape feature,or deep features,the accuracy of the model that incorporating all the aforementioned features was elevated by 0.105,0.105,and 0.079,the precision increased by 0.164,0.164,and 0.211,and the F1 score rose by 0.071,0.071,and 0.084,respectively. Conclusion The research findings affirmed the viability of the proposed model,which incor-porated multifeatures,including the facial complexion feature,the body shape feature,and the deep feature.In addition,by employing the proposed model,the objectification and intel-ligence of identifying constitutions in TCM practices could be optimized.
