Objective:To explore the effect of emotional imagery desensitization therapy on posttraumatic stress disorder among school- age children with fracture, to alleviate the adverse psychological state of the children.Methods:By a randomized controlled trials, a total of 78 school- age children with fracture at the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from July 2021 to July 2023 were divided into experimental group and control group according to the admission time, with 39 cases in each group. Both groups carried out routine care, the control group was given routine psychological intervention, the experimental group implemented emotional imagery desensitization therapy. Before and after 3 months of intervention, the effects was assessed by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Self-rating Scale (PTSD-SS) and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ), respectively.Results:During the research process, there were 2 cases of dropout in the control group due to disconnection, and 4 cases in the experimental group due to disconnection and voluntary withdrawal. 37 children in the control group [20 males and 17 females, age (9.27 ± 1.62) years], and 35 children in the experimental group [21 males and 14 females, age (9.57 ± 1.63) years] completed the intervention. Before intervention, the difference of PTSD-SS and MCMQ scores between two groups was no statistically significant (all P>0.05). After intervention, the subjective assessment, re-experiencing, avoidance symptoms, hypervigilance, functional impairment factor scores and total PTSD-SS scores were (1.51 ± 1.06), (10.74 ± 3.30), (10.86 ± 2.93), (11.94 ± 3.18), (2.31 ± 1.30), (37.37 ± 6.37) in the experimental group, lower than in the control group (2.08 ± 0.80), (12.92 ± 3.63), (12.73 ± 2.99), (14.65 ± 4.23), (2.97 ± 0.87), (45.35 ± 5.86), the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.53-5.54, all P<0.05). After intervention, the confrontation subscale scores were (23.49 ± 2.48), higher than in the control group (21.89 ± 2.38), the avoidance, acceptance- resignation subscale were (10.31 ± 1.89) and (6.83 ± 1.98), lower than in the control group (11.57 ± 1.79) and (7.86 ± 2.12), the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.79, 2.89, 2.14, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Emotional imagery desensitization therapy can effectively alleviate post- traumatic stress disorder and promote positive coping mode in school-age children with fracture.

With the constant increase in the awareness of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and the continuous improvement in related diagnostic methods in the past two decades, the incidence and prevalence rates of PBC tend to increase and PBC is now the most common autoimmune liver disease worldwide. A series of family-based studies in the early stage have shown that PBC has strong genetic tendency, and subsequent genomic analyses have been performed for PBC in different populations and have obtained a large amount of genetic data. Future genetic studies of PBC will focus on translating these results into clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of lipid ratios with diabetes and pre-diabetes in residents aged 35-75 years in Changzhou City. MethodsA multistage whole-group random sampling method was used to survey permanent residents aged 35-75 years in Tianning and Wujin districts of Changzhou City, and the study data were obtained by questionnaires, physical examination and laboratory tests. The relationship between lipid ratios and diabetes and pre-diabetes was analyzed by dichotomous logistic regression method. ResultsThe prevalence of diabetes in the surveyed population in Changzhou was 18.69%, and the prevalence of pre-diabetes was 10.53%. In the total population, the risk of pre-diabetes was significantly increased in the highest TC/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C groups, by 68%, 93% and 38%, respectively; the risk of diabetes was also significantly increased in the highest TC/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C groups, by 105%, 149% and 78%, respectively. The risk of diabetes was also significantly increased in the highest TC/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C groups, by 105%, 149% and 78%, respectively. All three lipid ratios increased in women compared to men, leading to a stronger association with increased risk of diabetes and pre-diabetes. ConclusionLipid ratios TC/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C, and LDL-C/HDL-C were correlated with the risk of diabetes and pre-diabetes in people aged 35-75 years, with TG/HDL-C having the strongest association with diabetes and pre-diabetes, and is expected to be a key predictor for assessing the development of diabetes.
