Objective To explore the importance of diabetic education and hypoglycemia nursing for population with high risk of hypoglycemia through analysis of the personal factors influencing incidence of hypoglycemia of type 2 diabetic patients during initial use of insulin.Methods There were 257 cases of T2DM hospitalized patients during initial use of insulin,among whom 80 experienced hypoglycemia.They were divided into two groups,one was the hypoglycemia group,another was the non-hypoglycemia group.Firstly,we compared the different characteristics of the two groups such as gender,BMI and HbAlc,and so on.And then,the possible risk factors of hypoglycemia were analyzed by a Logistic regression model.Finally,the most significant factors were analyzed with the ROC curve.Results These two groups were obviously different in seven elements such as BMI,Scr,HbAlc and TG,and so on.BMI and HbAlc were the most primary causes for prevention of hypoglycemia.When patients got HbAlc<8.65% or BMI<26.3 kg/m2,they had more opportunity to occur hypoglycemia.Conclusions BMI and HbAlc of patients are primary causes for hypoglycemia.It is of great significance for nurses to enhance diabetes education to the patients with HbAlc<8.65% or BMI<26.3 kg/m2 to alleviate the incidence of hypoglycemia.

Objective To compare the results of transcatheter intervention (TI) and surgical operation (SO) in the pri-mary treatment for pulmonary atrcsia with intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS). Methods From January 2006 to May 2009, 25 patients (20 male,5 female) with PA/IVS were treated. The age at treatment was from 2 days to 8 months. The body weight was from 2.1 kg to 6.7 kg. All patients had mild to moderate hypoplasia of the right ventricle (the Z-valvue of the tricuspid valve: from -2 to 1.5) with tripatite right ventricle and without coronary artery-right ventricular fistula. Eight patients under-went TI and 17 patients underwent SO. Results The primary procedure was successful in 7 patients (88%) in TI group and in 16 patients (94%) in SO group. There were 2 deaths (1 in each group). There was no significant difference regarding re-sidual pulmonary stenosis between two groups. The ventilation time and the days of hospital stay were shorter in TI group than in SO group. All the survivors were followed up for 3-36 months. One patient required repeat balloon dilation in TI group. While in SO group, one required reoperation and one required balloon dilation for PS, and 2 patients were waiting for balloon dilation. Twenty-one patients have achieved complete biventricular circulation. Two patients were scheduled for Glenn shunt operation later (1 in each group). Conclusion For PA/IVS patients with mild or moderate right ventricle hypoplasia, tran-scatheter intervention is a better alternative than surgical operation in the primary treatment.

Objective To compare the consistency between interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose in septic shock patients with different tissue perfusion levels.Methods A prospective investigative study was conducted. Sixty-one septic shock patients with ages above 18 years old admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from April 2013 to December 2013 were enrolled. The real-time continuous glucose monitoring system (RTCGMS) and arterial blood gas analyzer were used to measure the patients' interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose, and according to the criteria of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the median of relative absolute difference (Median RAD), the consistency between interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose was calculated. Based on the lactate (Lac) level and pulse oxygen perfusion index (PI), the septic shock patients were divided into groups with different degrees of tissue perfusion, the consistency between the interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose among septic shock patients with different degrees of tissue perfusion was compared by using Bootstrap re-sampling technique.Results Negative correlation existed between PI and Lac (r= -0.272,P < 0.001), which showed the opposite change tendency of organism tissue perfusion. In patients with Lac > 8 mmol/L, their consistency between interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose was better than that in those with Lac > 2-4 mmol/L, and the 95% credibility intervals (CI) of ISO standardized deviation value was 0.026-38.710 (P < 0.05). In patients with PI ≤ 0.7%, their consistency between interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose was better than that in those with PI > 0.7%-1.4%, the 95%CI of median RAD difference value was 0.002-0.076, and the 95%CI of ISO standardized deviation value was -27.000 to -0.583 (allP < 0.05); in patients with PI > 3.0%, their consistency between interstitial fluid glucose and arterial glucose was better than that in those with PI ≤ 0.7%, PI > 0.7%-1.4% and PI > 1.4%-3.0%, and the 95%CI of ISO standardized deviation values were 3.322-28.302, 11.988-40.265 and 5.170-33.333 respectively (allP < 0.05).Conclusions When septic shock patients were under low tissue perfusion (Lac > 8 mmol/L or PI ≤ 0.7%), the worse the tissue perfusion, the better the consistency between interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose; when septic shock patients were under normal local tissue perfusion (PI > 3.0%), the better the local tissue perfusion, the better the consistency between interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose.

Despite the extremely high mortality and disability rates of intracerebral hemorrhage, there are currently no effective interventions to improve the outcomes. More and more research shows that statins may be a new method for treating intracerebral hemorrhage. However, there is still much controversy about the relationship between statins therapy and intracerebral hemorrhage. This article reviews the recent studies on the relationship between statins and intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective:To explore the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular adenoma.Methods:The clinical data of 23 hepatocellular adenoma patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from May 2013 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Fifteen patients were female, the age ranged from 21 to 60. The maximum tumor diameter was from 2.5 cm to 15 cm.Most patients (15/23) were asymptomatic. There were 20 cases (87%) with single lesion and 3 cases (13%) with multiple lesions. Contrast-enhanced CT and MRI showed enhancement in the arterial phase, and de-enhancement in the portal phase as well as in the delayed phase. All cases underwent tumor resection. Hepatocellular adenoma was confirmed by pathology with partial canceration in one case and intratumoral hemorrhage in two cases. Sixteen cases were misdiagnosed preoperatively, 20 were followed up with the median follow-up time of 36 months. Recurrence was not found.Conclusion:Hepatocellular adenoma is uncommon and often misdiagnosed. Preoperative diagnosis is dependent on MRI.Given the fact of high rate misdiagnosis and a tendency of canceration,resection is recommended.

Objective:To evaluate the strategy and safety of the radiofrequency ablation (RFA) on ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) originating from the pulmonary sinus cusp (PSC) in pediatric patients.Methods:Retrospective study.Fifteen patients with VAs originating from the PSC who were intervened by RFA in the Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital between March 2014 to July 2020 were enrolled.All the patients met the indication criteria for RFA in pediatric patients.The electrocardiogram, ablation method of ablation were analyzed.Different curved catheters were selected for RFA according to the age and weight of the patients.The catheter was then inserted in a " U" or inverted " P" shape to the PSC.The long-term effect of ablation were reviewed.Results:The mean age and body weight of 15 patients with VAs originating from the PSC were (11.6±2.6) (6-15) years and (39.9±12.2) (19-65) kg, respectively.The electrocardiogram recorded during VAs originating from the PSC showed left bundle branch block and inferior axis with monomorphic R pattern, as well as a QS-wave in aVR and aVL.The electrocardiogram characteristics varied in patients with VAs originating from the PSC.The ideal excitation point was not found in the right ventricular outflow tract or the ablation was unsuccessful in all patients, and the earliest target was mapped and RFA was successful.Among the 15 patients, the successful ablation site was in the lower regions of the PSC, involving the right cusp in 11 patients(73.3%), the anterior cusp in 3 patients(20.0%), and the left cusp in 1 patient(6.7%). The earliest potential recorded at the PSC ablation site preceded the QRS complex onset by (27.3±6.0) ms.During the follow-up period for (2.7±2.0) years, no recurrence of VAs or complications were recorded.Conclusions:Under the premise of gentle catheterization procedure and appropriate radiofrequency energy, ablation was effective, safe and with low recurrence rate to eradicate VAs originating from the PSC in children.
