Objective To evaluate the values of continuous subcutaneous insulin/rapid insulin analoguc infusion in desensitization for allergy to recombinant human insulin. Methods Two patients allergic to recombinant human insulin received desensitization therapy by continuous subcutaneous insulin lispro infusion. The diluted insulin lispro solution was pumped with initial basal rate of O. O1 U/h, and the basal rate and insulin lispro concentration increased gradually until the insulin dosage for clinical treatment was reached. After that, continuous subcutaneous insulin lispro infusion was replaced by regimen of insulin lispro subcutaneous injection plus oral hypoglycemic agents. Results Local wheals were not observed in both two patients during continuous subcutaneous insulin lispro infusion or during bolus subcutaneous injection of insulin lispro after desensitization. Conclusion The desensitization therapy by continuous subcutaneous insulin/rapid insulin analogue infusion can be applied for allergy to recombinant human insulin.

Objective To compare various risk factors of bipolar disorders with and without suicidal behavior. Methods A total of 5452 inpatients were divided into 2 groups; with (n=1739)and without (n=3713) suicidal behavior within 1 week. Socio-demographic and clinical data were compared between two groups. Multiple logistic regression models were used to assess risk factors of bipolar disorders with suicidal behavior. Results Compared to without suicidal behavior group, the suicidal behavior group had significantly higher rate of the following characteristics:older age [34.8±13.6 vs. 33.3±12.8, t=-3.46, P<0.01], female (58.3%vs. 52.7%,χ2=14.83, P<0.01), history of mental trauma (10.6%vs.7.8%,χ2=10.72, P<0.01), history of suicide (4.1%vs. 0.1%,χ2=140.11, P<0.01), family history of suicide (6.7%vs. 3.9%,χ2=20.22, P<0.01), family history of mental illness (33.8%vs. 29.6%,χ2=9.33, P<0.01) and history of suicide (4.1% vs. 0.1%, χ2=140.11, P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that female (OR: 1.192, 95%CI:1.043-1.363), older age (OR: 1.008, 95%CI: 1.003-1.013), history of mental trauma (OR: 1.355, 95%CI:1.083-1.696), history of suicide (OR:39.139, 95%CI:12.230-125.256) and family history of suicide (OR:1.648, 95%CI: 1.223-2.221) were significantly correlated with suicidal behavior in bipolar disorders. Conclusions The study indicates that female, older age, history of mental trauma, history of suicide and family history of suicide may be the key independent risk factors to suicidal behavior in bipolar disorders.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis for a pedigree affected with X-linked mental retardation.
METHODS:
The proband was subjected to chromosomal karyotyping, FMR1 mutation testing and copy number variation analysis with a single nucleotide polymorphism microarray (SNP array). His family members were subjected to multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assaying. Expression of genes within the repeated region were analyzed.
RESULTS:
The proband had a normal chromosomal karyotype and normal number of CGG repeats within the FMR1 gene. SNP array identified a 370 kb duplication in Xq28 (ChrX: 153 027 633-153 398 515), which encompassed 14 genes including MECP2. The patient was diagnosed as Lubs X-linked mental retardation syndrome (MRXSL). MLPA confirmed the presence of copy number variation, its co-segregation with the disease, in addition with the carrier status of females. Genes from the duplicated region showed higher levels of expression (1.79 to 5.38 folds) within peripheral blood nucleated cells of the proband.
CONCLUSION
The patients were diagnosed with MRXSL. The expression of affected genes was up-regulated due to the duplication. Genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis may be provided based on the results.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between self-management ability and self-efficacy in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients, and the influential factors.Methods:From April to June 2016, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 236 patients with coronary heart disease selected by simple random sampling method in the outpatient clinic of Pengpu Community Health Service Center; and the Coronary Artery Disease Self-management Scale and self-efficacy questionnaire were used in the survey. The correlation between scores of the two scales was analyzed; the scores were compared between patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and those without PCI, between patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and those without MI. Multiple linear regression was performed to elucidate the influencing factors of self-management ability and self-efficacy of CHD patients.Results:The mean scores of self-management ability and self-efficacy were (75.5±15.5) and (24.8±10.8), respectively. The self-management ability was significantly correlated with self-efficacy in CHD patients(r=0.398-0.683, P<0.05). The self-management score of patients with PCI was higher than those without PCI[ (80.4±14.9) vs.(72.5±15.1), t=3.38, P<0.01]. The scores of self-management[(85.0±16.4) vs.(72.9±14.2), t=5.14, P<0.01]and self-efficacy[(29.3±12.0) vs. (23.6±10.2), t=3.39, P<0.01] of patients with MI were higher than those without MI. Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis indicated that age over 65, history of MI, history of PCI, history of smoking and self-efficacy score were all factors influencing self-management behavior in patients with CHD ( R=0.735; R2=0.540; F=26.451, P<0.01). Smoking history and self-management score were the influencing factors of self-efficacy in patients with CHD ( R=0.690; R2=0.476; F=20.425, P<0.01). Conclusion:The self-efficacy of patients with CHD is closely related to their self-management behavior, so we should strengthen their self-efficacy and improve their self-management level by comprehensive measures, particularly for patients without PCI.

Objective:The decline in nutritional status in patients with severe pneumonia may contribute to an increase in in-hospital mortality. Enteral nutrition support can improve the nutritional status of patients, and is relatively easy to manage, with low cost and fewer serious complications. On the other hand, adverse reactions such as gastric retention and gastric microbiota translocation may increase the incidence of nosocomial pneumonia and increase the uncertainty of patient prognosis. There is no predictive model for in-hospital death in severe pneumonia patients receiving enteral nutrition support. The objective of this study was to investigate the risk factors of in-hospital death in patients with severe pneumonia receiving enteral nutrition support and to establish a prognostic model for such patients.Methods:This was a single-center retrospective study. Patients with severe pneumonia who were hospitalized in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and received enteral nutrition support were included from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2020. The primary endpoints were in-hospital mortality rate and unordered discharge rate. The independent risk factors were determined using univariate and multifactorial logistic regression analysis, the nomogram scoring model was constructed, and the decision curve analysis (DCA) was performed.Results:A total of 632 severe pneumonia patients who received enteral nutrition support were included. Patients were divided into death and survival groups according to the presence or absence of in-hospital death, and 24 parameters were found with significant differences between groups. Nine parameters were independent predictors of mortality, namely the duration of ventilator use, the presence of malignant hyperplasia diseases, the maximal levels of platelet and prothrombin during hospitalization, and the nadir levels of alanine aminotransferase, serum albumin, sodium, potassium, and blood glucose. Based on these variables, a risk prediction scoring model was established (ROC = 0.782; 95% CI: 0.744 to 0.819, concordance index: 0.772). Calibration curves, DCA, and clinical impact curve were plotted to evaluate the goodness of function, accuracy, and applicability of the predictive nomogram, using the training and test sets. Conclusion:This study summarized the clinical characteristics of patients with severe pneumonia receiving enteral nutrition support and developed a scoring model to identify risk factors and establish prognostic models.
