Objective To explore the best mode of diabetic dietary education in the nursing specialist outpatient service,which is suit for China's national situation.Methods A total of 100 diabetic patients consulting diabetes diet in the nursing specialist outpatient service were divided into observation group and control group with 50 cases each by random digits table method.The routine sermonic education mode was used in control group,while the error-correction education mode was used in observation group.The question-real-time evaluation was performed at the end of the education and a follow-up evaluation after 6 months of intervention was evaluated.Results Grasp of the knowledge of diabetes diet in observation group immediately after education and 6 months after education were better than those in control group,t=3.07,3.06,P<0.01.In the follow-up evaluation after 6 months of intervention,fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were (6.84±0.79) mmol/L,(6.83±0.36) % in observation group and (7.56±0.93) mmol/L,(7.67±0.87) % in control group.The indices in observation group were significantly better than those in control group,t=-4.17,-6.32,P<0.01.Conclusions Using the error-correction education mode can correct the false dietary behavior of patients and improve the effect of the diabetic dietary education more effectively.

Objective To explore the relationship between blood pressure variability and different types of stroke.Methods One hundred and twenty-five ischemic stroke subjects,78 hemorrhagic stroke patients and 66 non-stroke individuals,collected in our hospital from January 1,2013 to December 31,2015,were enrolled according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.All indicators of blood pressure variability were calculated from 24 h ambulatory blood pressure,including nighttime blood pressure fall (BPF),moming surge in blood pressure (MBPS),standard deviation (SD),weighted SD (wSD),and coefficient of variation (CV).Results As compared with non-stroke subjects,ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke individuals had significantly increased systolic MBPS (P<0.05),and the systolic MBPS of ischemic stroke group was significantly lower than those of hemorrhagic stroke group (P<0.05).CV,wSD and BPF of systolic blood pressure (SBP) in the ischemic and hemorrhagic groups were significantly higher than those in the non-stroke subjects (P<0.05);CV and SBPF of diastolic blood pressure in hemorrhagic group were significantly different as compared those in the non-stroke subjects (P<0.05).The factors which were significantly associated with ischemic stroke in Logistic regression,included high-density lipoprotein,nighttime SBP,wSD of SBP,CV of SBP,while smoking,nighttime SBP,wSD of SBP,MBPS,and CV of SBP were observed as important influence factors for hemorrhagic stoke patients.Conclusion Whether ischemic stroke,or hemorrhagic stroke are associated with short-term blood pressure variability.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of omalizumab in the treatment of patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria accompanied by other allergic diseases.Methods:Clinical data were retrospectively collected from 74 patients, who were clinically diagnosed with chronic spontaneous urticaria and other allergic diseases, and received subcutaneous injections of omalizumab in the Department of Allergy, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from June 2020 to September 2022. Types of allergic diseases, serum total IgE (tIgE) and allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) levels before treatment, treatment outcomes and adverse drug reactions were analyzed. Differences before and after treatment were assessed using paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank sum test. Results:A total of 74 patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria were involved, including 29 with complicated allergic asthma (39.2%) , 61 with complicated allergic rhinitis (82.4%) , 6 with complicated atopic dermatitis (8.1%) , and 4 with food allergy (5.4%) . Before treatment, elevated serum tIgE or sIgE levels were observed in 44 (59.5%) patients. After the first omalizumab treatment, the urticaria control test (UCT) score significantly increased compared with that before treatment (16.00 [13.0.0, 16.00] vs. 6.00 [5.75, 9.00], Z = 7.39, P < 0.001) ; after 4 sessions of the omalizumab treatment, 82.5% (33/40) of the patients achieved complete control of urticaria symptoms or showed complete response. After omalizumab treatment, asthmatic attacks were decreased in 29 patients with allergic asthma, and asthma control test (ACT) scores significantly increased compared with those before treatment (21.07 ± 2.88 points [after the first treatment] vs. 18.48 ± 3.20 points [before treatment], t = 8.87, P < 0.001) ; among 61 patients with allergic rhinitis, global rhinitis symptom-based visual analog scale (VAS) scores (before treatment: 5.89 ± 1.29 points; after the first treatment: 3.28 ±1.46 points) and rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) scores (before treatment: 60.10 ± 20.53 points; after the first treatment: 37.26 ± 18.83 points) both significantly decreased after the first treatment ( t = 15.04, 10.01, respectively, both P < 0.001) , and rhinitis symptoms were relieved at the same time; skin itching was relieved in 4 patients with atopic dermatitis, and allergic symptoms after contact with food allergens were also relieved in the 2 patients with food allergy after omalizumab treatment. During the treatment, only 1 patient experienced erythematous swelling, induration, and pain at the injection site. Conclusions:In the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria accompanied by allergic diseases, the use of omalizumab not only effectively improved urticaria symptoms, but also well controlled allergic diseases, with a good safety profile. Multiple benefits may be achieved by the use of omalizumabin in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria accompanied by other allergic diseases.

Objective:
To explore the value of quantitative CT radiomics features in predicting the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutation status in lung adenocarcinoma patients.
Methods:
This retrospective study reviewed one hundred and ninety-five lung adenocarcinoma patients (including 60 patients with ALK mutation) whose ALK genetic test results were available from Nov 2015 to May 2018 in PUMCH. VOIs were labeled by an automatic pulmonary nodule detection and segmentation algorithm and were later revised and confirmed by two senior radiologists. The PyRadiomics tools were used to resample the labeled regions, followed by image pre-processing (Wavelet filter or Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) filter) and feature extraction. Normalized features were selected based on their representativeness on Dr. Wise research platform. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to develop prediction models of ALK mutation gene based on different image pre-processing techniques and different radiomics feature types. The results were validated by ten runs of five-fold cross validation. ROC curve analysis and Delong test were used to compare the predictive performance among models.
Results:
Fifteen radiomics features with the highest representativeness were selected from the original 1 232 features. The prediction model based on these radiomics features showed good performance (AUC=0.88 in the training set and 0.78 in the validation set) and was not significantly different from the prediction models based on radiomics features of different pre-processing images (AUC=0.76,
