Objective To investigate the clinical value of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in postmenopausal patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods A total of 128 newly diagnosed T2DM female patients were randomly recruited from the Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University from March to September 2015. According to the physiological state, the patients were divided into menopausal group (n=66) and non-menopausal group (n=62). Fifty-six healthy females were chosen as the control group. The values of blood pressure, blood lipid, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS) and white blood count (WBC), neutrophil count, percentage of neutrophils,lymphocytes count, and percentage of lymphocytes were detected and compared between three groups. The NLR and the HOMA insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were calculated. Results Age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), triglyceride (TG), FINS, percentage of neutrophil, NLR, HOMA-IR were significantly higher in menopause group than those of control group and non-menopause group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and FPG between menopause group and non-menopause group, but both were significantly higher than those of control group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), WBC and HbA1c between three groups (P>0.05). There was no linear correlation between NLR and HOMA-IR (rs=0.015, P > 0.05), HbA1c (r=0.030, P > 0.05). Conclusion NLR is of a certain significance in the assessment of inflammatory status and IR levels in postmenopausal women with T2DM, which may be related to the changes of autonomic nervous system.

Objective To research the relationship between Serum uric acid (SUA) levels and the Neu-trophil-to-lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. Method 273 newly diag-nosed T2DM patients are selected in accordance with the WHO diagnostic criteria: Male subjects with SUA lev-els ≥ 416 μmol/L(70 mg/L), and female subjects with SUA levels ≥ 357 μmol/L (60 mg/L) are sorted into the high SUA (HUA) group (224 subjects), and the rest into the normal SUA (NUA) group (49 subjects). 100 subjects were selected as a control group. One-Way analysis of variance was applied to the data of the three groups; Pearson correlation analysis was used to calculate the correlation of SUA levels , NLR and IR; risk fac-tors influencing SUA levels were analyzed with Logistic regression analysis; ROC curve analysis was used to de-termine the diagnostic value of NLR to HUA, and the optimal threshold value of NLR. Result (1) The NLR and IR of the HUA group was significantly higher than those of the NUA group (2.54 ± 0.63 vs. 2.05 ± 0.61, P < 0.001; 3.70 ± 1.86 vs. 2.71 ± 1.43, P < 0.001); (2) In the HUA group, UA was positively correlated with NLR and IR (respectively r = 0.480, P < 0.001; r = 0.332, P < 0.001). (3)NLR (P < 0.001, EXP(B)= 8.045, 95%CI = 4.597 ~ 14.079) was a risk factor of Hyperuricemia. Conclusion Our results suggest that NLR may be an independent risk factor of Hyperuricemia.

Objective To explore the curative effect and safety of botulintum toxin A (BTX?A) on depressive disorder in patients with Parkinson′s disease (PD). Methods Forty?two cases of PD with depression prospectively recruited in the Second Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University from August 2016 to November 2018 were divided into two groups: 28 patients in BTX?A group (administered with 100 U BTX?A injection on patients′eyebrow, forehead, bilateral lateral canthus and temporal region at 20 loci), 14 patients in sertraline (control) group (administered with 50-100 (55.36±14.47) mg/d sertraline). The scores of Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), Self?rating Depression Scale (SDS), Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAMA), Self?rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) after treatment for 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks were compared with the scores of each emotional rating scale for baseline respectively. Meanwhile, the differences in the scores of each emotional scale between the two treatment groups were compared. In addition, the remission rates of depression and anxiety (defined as HAMD, HAMA scores<7) at each follow?up time point between the two groups were compared to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BTX?A in the treatment of PD patients with depression. Results The scores of HAMD, HAMA, SDS, SAS in the BTX?A group and the sertraline group reduced compared to baseline after treatment (at the 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th weeks). The scores of HAMD and SDS in the BTX?A group (HAMD scores: F=12.930, P<0.01; SDS scores: F=5.022, P=0.001) and those in the sertraline group (HAMD scores: F=2.883, P=0.030; SDS scores:F=3.427, P=0.013) were significantly lower compared to baseline, but there was no statistically significant difference in the scores of HAMD and SDS between the two groups (P>0.05). HAMD score showed that the remission rate of depression in the BTX?A group (17.9% (5/28), 35.7% (10/28)) was higher than that of the sertraline group (2/14, 4/14) at the 2nd and 4th weeks. At the 8th and 12th weeks, the remission rate of depression in the sertraline group (7/14, 9/14) was higher than that of the BTX?A group (46.4% (13/28), 53.6% (15/28)). There was no statistically significant difference in remission rate of depression between the two groups at each follow?up time point (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in HAMD scores between males and females in the BTX?A group (P>0.05). Two of the 28 patients in the BTX?A group had frown muscle stiffness, which lasted for two weeks and improved in one month. Two patients in the sertraline group had headache and dizziness, and two patients had dry mouth and nausea, which improved after two weeks. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P=0.197). Conclusion BTX?A intraocular facial muscle injection can significantly improve the depressive symptoms of PD patients, and the effect lasts for a long time, with low incidence of side effects and high safety, which can be considered as a safe and effective new method for PD patients with depressive symptoms.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of high-intensity interval training and moderate continuous aerobic training on patients classified as low risk for exercise rehabilitation after a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:A total of 43 patients considered low-risk after a PCI were randomly divided into a high-intensity interval training group (HIIT group, 22 cases) and a moderate continuous aerobic training group (MCT group, 21 cases). The HIIT group received high-intensity, but aerobic interval training involving 8 rounds of 3 minutes of high-intensity exercise with 2-minute intervals at 80% of peak power over 40 minutes, 3 times a week. The MCT group trained continuously at 60% of peak power for the same duration. After 12 weeks both groups were given an ultrasound examination and a cardiopulmonary exercise test to assess their cardiac functioning and exercise endurance. The subjects′ life quality was evaluated and compared using some items from the SF-36 scale.Results:Before the training, no significant differences were observed in the average left ventricular ejection fraction, stroke volume, peak power, peak oxygen uptake, anaerobic threshold, physiological functioning, physical pain, general health or social functioning between the two groups. After the training significant improvement in all these indicators was observed in both groups, but compared with MCT group, the average left ventricular ejection fraction, stroke volume, peak power and peak oxygen uptake of the HIIT group were significantly better.Conclusions:High-intensity, aerobic interval training is superior to moderate but continuous aerobic training for improving the cardiac functioning and exercise endurance of patients suitable for exercise rehabilitation after a PCI. But there is no significant difference in their effect on the short-term quality of life.

ObjectiveTo explore the mental health status and its influencing factors among middle school students in Xide County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, and to provide references for mental health interventions for local middle school students. MethodsUsing a cross-sectional study design, one junior middle school and one senior middle school in Xide County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, were randomly selected on September 16, 2021, and two classes per grade in each school involving 288 students were recruited. Subjects were assessed using Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item (GAD-7), PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS-3). Then the scores of above scales were compared among middle school students with different demographic characteristics, and binary Logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the influencing factors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. ResultsAmong the respondents, 17.71% (95% CI: 0.133~0.221), 8.68% (95% CI: 0.054~0.120), 2.78% (95% CI: 0.009~0.047) and 45.83% (95% CI: 0.400~0.516) were reported to have symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD and loneliness, respectively. Students in senior middle school scored lower on PCL-5 and ULS-3 than those in junior middle school [(6.46±8.91) vs. (8.87±9.42), t=2.202, P<0.05; (4.67±1.65) vs. (5.60±1.88), t=4.431, P<0.01]. Regression analysis denoted that depressive symptoms (OR=7.630, P<0.05) and anxiety symptoms (OR=3.789, P<0.01) were risk factors for PTSD symptoms among middle school students. ConclusionThe middle school students in Xide County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture suffer a high prevalence rate of depressive symptoms and loneliness, and those in junior middle school are more likely to feel a sense of strong loneliness, furthermore, depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms are risk factors for PTSD symptoms.
