With high incident of cancer and chronic disease, it is more and more important to develop palliative care; as developing later, there is neither unified palliative care mode and related policy, nor mature assessment collaboration in China. It pointed out that Australia as an advanced country with stable development of palliative care and assessment collaboration, called palliative care outcomes collaboration (PCOC). It expatiated the PCOC on structure,function and operation. China should learn from the mode of Australia palliative care assessment and management collaboration, find references to improve and further develop Chinese palliative care assessment collaboration.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with insulin resistance and dyslipidemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,and to analyze the risk factors.Methods A total of 200 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus including 99 with NAFLD and 101 without NAFLD were recruited.Height,weight,waist circumference,hip circumference,liver enzymes,blood lipids,fasting and postprandial blood glucose,insulin,C-peptide,and HbA1C levels were detected.Body mass index ( BMI),waist-hip ratio( WHR),and improved insulin and C-peptide index(HOMA-C-peptide) were calculated and compared between two groups.ResultsCompared with non-NAFLD group,weight,BMI,waist circumference,hip circumference,alanine aminotransferase ( ALT),aspartate aminotransferase,triglyceride ( TG ),total cholesterol ( TC ),low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C) were significantly higher in NAFLD group( all P＜0.01 ),while age,duration,and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol were lower( all P＜0.05 ).The incidence of combined hyperlipidemia,especially hypertriglyceridemia,was significantly higher in NAFLD group( P＜0.01 ).Fasting and postprandial 1 h blood glucose [ ( 2.07 ±0.36 vs 1.83 ±0.43 ) mmol/L,( 14.04 ± 3.96 vs 12.59 ± 3.90 ) mmol/L ],fasting and postprandial 1 h Cpeptide [ (2.79± 1.15 vs 2.08±1.29 ) ng/ml,( 1.33 ±0.45 vs 1.12±0.54) ng/ml ],HbA1C [ (2.09±0.33 vs 1.96±0.28) ％ ],and HOMA-C-peptide index were significantly increased in NAFLD group ( P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01 ).Logistic analysis showed that TG,BMI,and ALT were the major risk factors of NAFLD in type 2 diabetes mellitus( P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ).ConclusionTriglyceridemia,obesity,and raised ALT level were significantly associated with an increased risk of NAFLD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective To establish tree shrew model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) combined with cerebral ischemia (IS),and to explore the regulatory mechanism of ischemic postconditioning (PC) on gene differential expression in cerebral cortex under metabolic abnormalities and cerebral ischemia condition.Methods Seventy tree shrews were divided into control,T2DM,IS,T2DM+IS and T2DM +IS +PC groups (n =14 each group).The experimental diabetes model was established by the combined use of high fat diet breeding with streptozocin injection in tree shrew.The local cerebral thrombosis was induced by photochemical reaction in tree shrews,and ischemic PC was established at 4h after cerebral ischemia followed by clipped ipsilateral common carotid artery three times (5 min/time).The metabolic status of tree shrews was measured by serum biochemical markers.TTC staining,HE staining,and electron microscopy were used to observe the changes of the body's metabolic status at 24h after IS.RNA-seq was used to analyze differentially expressed genes.Results The ultrastructure of brain cells was abnormal and the cerebral infarction area was the largest in T2DM+IS tree shrews (P＜0.01).Compared with control group,body weight of tree shrews in T2DM + IS group was significantly reduced (P＜ 0.01) while blood glucose,total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol,triglyceride,and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were markedly increased(all P＜0.01).The RNA-seq analysis showed that there were 1 629 differentially expressed genes (1 109 up-regulated genes and 520 down-regulated genes) in T2DM + IS group vs control group.However,ischemic PC deceased the cortical infarction area (P＜0.01)and reduced blood glucose,lipid and CRP levels (P＜0.05),with 520 differential expression genes (203 up-regulated genes and 317 down-regulated genes).Conclusion Ischemic PC improves the metabolic disturbance-aggravated ischemic brain injury in T2DM tree shrews,which may be related to its regulation on gene expression in cerebral cortex.

Objective To analyze the relationship between the common clinical indicators and diabetic foot ulcer(DFU)in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients by using the cross-sectional study and to provide the reference indicators for clinical DFU monitoring and prognosis evaluation.Methods A total of 115 T2DM patients admitted to the Department of Endocrinology,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from June 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the study objects and were divided into group A(with DFU)and group B(without DFU)according to whether they had DFU.Those in group A were then divided into group A1(Wagner0-1),group A2(Wagner2-3)and group A3(Wagner4)according to Wagner classification.The differences of general data,blood pressure,blood glucose,blood lipids and other common clinical indicators among all of the groups were compared,and the correlation between DFU and the above indicators was explored.Results Diabetes duration,D-dimer(DD),systolic blood pressure and other indexes in group A were higher than those in group B and there was a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).DD was the main risk factor for DFU in T2DM patients.Diabetic course in patients with DFU was positively correlated with the age(r>0,P<0.05),and negatively correlated with fasting blood glucose(FPG)level and 2hPG level at 2 hours after meals(r<0,P<0.05).The levels of interleukin-6(IL-6)and C-reactive protein(CRP)in A1 and A2 groups were lower than those in A3 group,the levels of neutrophils and leukocytes in A1 group were lower than those in A3 group,and the high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)in A1 group was higher than that in A2 group and there was a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion DD and systolic blood pressure are the main risk factors for DFU,and DD is closely related to DFU.The older the patients with T2DM,the later the onset of DFU.The worse the blood glucose control,the earlier the onset of DFU.HDL-C is a protective factor for peripheral vascular disease in T2DM patients.

Diabetic foot(DF)is one of the most severe chronic complications of diabetes mellitus(DM),and it is an important cause of disability and mortality inpatients with DM.Changes in proteins in the tissues,organs and circulation of organisms can serve as microscopic reflections of the disease development process.Proteomics is an important technologyto explore the pathogenesis and treatment mechanism of dis-ease,and to find potential therapeutic targets and prognostic biomarkers of diseases.This article reviews the progress of proteomics research in DF.

Diabetic cognitive dysfunction, which refers to diabetes-induced impairment in language, visual memory, speed of information processing, and executive function, has been identified as a common complication of diabetes.It is highly prevalent in elderly diabetic patients.Therefore, it is necessary to understand the pathological structural changes and pathogenesis of diabetic cognitive dysfunction to help with early prevention and treatment of patients with clinical diabetic cognitive dysfunction.

Objective:To investigate serum vitamin A and vitamin D status in children aged 2-<7 years in 20 cities in China.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 2 924 healthy children aged 2-<7 years were recruited from September 2018 to September 2019 from 20 cities in China, categorized by age groups of 2-<3 years, 3-<5 years, and 5-<7 years. The demographic and economic characteristics and health-related information of the enrolled children were investigated. Body weight and height were measured by professional staff members. The serum vitamin A and vitamin D levels were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Chi-square test and Logistic regression were applied to analyze the association between vitamin A and vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency as well as their underlying impact factors.Results:The age of the 2 924 enrolled children was 4.33 (3.42, 5.17) years. There were 1 726 males (59.03%) and 1 198 females (40.97%). The prevalences of vitamin A and vitamin D deficiency in enrolled children were 2.19% (64/2 924) and 3.52% (103/2 924), respectively, and the insufficiency rates were 29.27% (856/2 924) and 22.20% (649/2 924), respectively. Children with both vitamin A and vitamin D deficiencies or insufficiencies were found in 10.50% (307/2 924) of cases. Both vitamin A ( χ2=7.91 and 8.06, both P=0.005) and vitamin D ( χ2=71.35 and 115.10, both P<0.001) insufficiency rates were higher in children aged 3-<5 and 5-<7 years than those in children aged 2-<3 years. Vitamin A and vitamin D supplementation in the last 3 months was a protective factor for vitamin A and D deficiency and insufficiency, respectively ( OR=0.68 and 0.22, 95% CI 0.49-0.95 and 0.13-0.40, both P<0.05). The rates of vitamin A and D insufficiency was higher in children with annual household incomes <60 000 RMB than in those with annual household incomes ≥60 000 RMB ( χ2=34.11 and 10.43, both P<0.01). Northwest and Southwest had the highest rates of vitamin A and vitamin D insufficiency in children aged 2-<7 yeas, respectively ( χ2=93.22 and 202.54, both P<0.001). Conclusions:Among 20 cities in China, children aged 2-<7 years experience high rates of vitamin A and vitamin D insufficiency, which are affected by age, family economic level, vitamin A and vitamin D supplementation, and regional economic level. The current results suggest that high level of attention should be paid to vitamin A and vitamin D nutritional status of preschool children.
