【Objective】 To investigate the control rate of blood glucose and its influencing factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Yulin area. 【Methods】 We selected the adult type 2 diabetes patients who visited our hospital from May 2020 to December 2021 as the subjects. Then we collected their basic information (gender, age, household income, type of medical insurance payment, education level, and duration of disease), measured their height and weight, calculated their body mass index (BMI), detected HbA1c, and measured their subcutaneous and visceral fat. The Chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression methods were used to analyze the influencing factors. 【Results】 The total attainment rate of HbA1c (HbA1c<7%) among 877 adults with type 2 diabetes was 13.34%. The Chi-square test showed that statistical differences in the attainment rate of HbA1c among different ages, family annual income, type of medical insurance, and duration of disease. Further unconditional multivariate Logistic regression analysis model results showed that the HbA1c attainment rate in 18-44 years old group was 0.418 times higher than that in ≥60 years old group (95% CI=0.219-0.799, P=0.008). The HbA1c compliance rate of patients with employees’ medical insurance was 1.744 times that those with residents’ medical insurance (95% CI=1.131-2.782, P=0.013). The HbA1c attainment rate of diabetic patients with an annual family income of 30 000 yuan to 100 000 yuan was 1.873 times (95% CI=1.074-3.266, P=0.027), and with an annual family income of more than 100 000 yuan was 2.649 (95% CI=1.299-5.404, P=0.007) times than that of diabetic patients with less than 30 000 yuan. 【Conclusion】 The blood glucose control rate in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Yulin area is lower compared with the level of the nation and other regions. Age, annual household income, and type of medical insurance payment are independent influencing factors.

Objective To explore the correlation between BCL2 binding component 3 (BBC3) expression and postoperative survival time of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC),and investigate its molecular mechanism.Methods The expression of BBC3 in 39 patients was detected by using qRT-PCR assay.Meanwhile,clinical data of all patients were collected by follow-up visit.Then,the survival analysis was performed by using Kaplan-Meier and log rank tests.Moreover,multiple factors analysis was performed using COX proportional hazard model.At last,BBC3 was over-expressed in NCI-H226 cell lines,then detected the effects of BBC3 expression on cell proliferation and apoptosis by using MTT assay and flow cytometry.Results BBC3 expression were significantly correlated with the tumor metastasis (r=0.556,P=0.023),tumor size (r=0.532,P =0.042),T staging (r =0.551,P=0.021) and TNM staging (r=0.524,P=0.047).Meanwhile,the results of Kaplan-Meier and log rank tests found that BBC3 expression was significantly correlated with survival time of patients with LUSC,and the length of survival time in patients with high BBC3 expression was longer than that in patients with low BBC3 expression (x2 =7.542,P=0.006).The COX proportional hazard model indicated that tumor metastasis,T staging,TNM staging and BBC3 expression were independent factors which significantly affected survival time.Moreover,the proportion of apoptotic cells in the recombinant plasmid BBCs group was higher than that in the empty plasmid group and control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion BBC3 expression could suppress the proliferation of tumor cells and promote apoptosis,and are significantly correlated with survival time of patients,so which may be assistant biomarkers for prognosis of LUSC.

BACKGROUND:Treatment programs for low back pain are of great varieties, but there is stil no a definite treatment. Pressure biofeedback instrument is a tool to measure abdominal muscle activity, and its reliability in the treatment of low back pain is less reported. OBJECTIVE:To explore the reliability and feasibility of the pressure biofeedback instrument for assessment of low back pain. METHODS:Thirty patients with chronic low back pain were enrol ed and subject to four kinds of postures:posture A was prone position;posture B was supine position with flexion of the knee joints, posture C was supine position with unilateral flexion of the hip and knee joint, posture D was prone position with unilateral shoulder flexion. Intra-abdominal pressure values under the different postures were measured twice within a week in the same subject. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the reliability. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Posture A had good test-retest reliability, and the value of ICC was 0.853 (95%confidence interval:0.691-0.930);posture B showed moderate test-retest reliability, and the ICC value was 0.751 (95%confidence interval:0.477-0.882);posture C also had moderate test-retest reliability, and the ICC value was 0.789 (95%confidence interval:0.557-0.900), posture D had good test-retest reliability, and the value of ICC was 0.892 (95%confidence interval:0.641-0.919). Therefore, the pressure biofeedback for evaluation of low back pain has good reliability, which can be used for the evaluation of low back pain.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of YMDD mutation during Lamivudine therapy on chronic hepatitis B.Methods Fluorometric analysis PCR, ELISA were used to estimate the YMDD mutation, HBVDNA quantative level and HBeAg for HBV of 72 cases with chronic hepatitis B before therapy (0 month), and after Lamivudine therapy for 9,12,18 months.Results The YMDD mutation was not observed in these cases before Lamivudine therapy. The mutation was found in 8 cases (11.1%), 17 cases (23.6%) and 28 cases (38.9%) at 9, 12, 18 month for therapy. The YMDD mutation rate rose with the therapy time lasting (P＜0.05). Moreover, the YmDD mutation rate in the patients with HBVDNA quantity higher than 108 copies/ml was significantly higher than that in the patients with HBVDNA quantity lower than 108 copies/ml (P＜0.005). The YMDD variation rate in patients with HBeAg positive and in patients with HBeAg negative showed no significant difference (P＞0.05). The HBeAg negative conversion rate was significantly higher in non-mutation group than that in mutation group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum virus quantity may be regard as an early estimate indication of the development of YMDD mutation during Lamivudine therapy.

【Objective】 To investigate the practice and benefit of national standardized management of type 2 diabetes in Yulin City. 【Methods】 We recruited the adult type 2 diabetes patients who sought medical help at our hospital from May 2020 to October 2022 as subjects. We collected their basic information (sex and age); measured height, weight, waist and hip circumference, and blood pressure; calculated body mass index (BMI); and detected blood glucose, c-peptide, HbA1c, biomarkers, urinary microalbumin, sensory nerve conduction velocity of lower limbs, ABI, and subcutaneous and visceral fat at the time of MMC recruited and the end of six months. T test and Mann-Whitney U rank sum test were used for measurement data and χ² test or Fisher’s exact probability method for counting data to analyze the data. 【Results】 After 6 months, the levels of fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, and visceral and subcutaneous fat in all the patients decreased, but the level of fasting c-peptide increased compared with the baseline (all P<0.05). Secondly, compared with the baseline, the control rate of HbA1c (35.21% vs. 13.71% ) and the comprehensive control rate (13.97% vs. 7.26% ) were both significantly increased at six months (P<0.05). Thirdly, after 6 months, the levels of fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, TG, TC, and UA were decreased more, while the fasting c-peptide and postprandial c-peptide were increased more in the patients of the HbA1c standard group (HbA1c<7% ) than those of the non-standard group. 【Conclusion】 The multiple benefits of blood glucose, blood lipid, uric acid and islet function can be achieved by taking type 2 diabetes patients into MMC. Meanwhile, the rates of HbA1c control and comprehensively reaching the standard are significantly increased. Therefore, MMC can explore a new way for the management of type 2 diabetic patients in this area.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in treating advanced bladder cancer. Methods A total of 22 patients with advanced bladder cancer were included in this study. The clinical data and the imaging materials were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical efficacy of TAE in treating advanced bladder cancer was evaluated. Results TAE was successfully accomplished in all the 22 patients. The preoperative and the postoperative abdominal pain scores were 4.73± 1.91 and 2.45±1.29 respectively, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01); the preoperative and the postoperative ECOG scores were 3.14±0.47 and 2.68±0.56 respectively (P<0.05); the preoperative and the postoperative hemoglobin levels were (61.4±11.8) g/L and (79.3±14.5) g/L respectively (P<0.01). Of 7 patients with urinary tract obstruction, after the treatment the obstruction disappeared in 5 and was improved in 2, although the urination was still not smooth. All patients were followed up for (7.1±3.0) months. The 6-month survival rate was 54.5% (12/22). No serious complications occurred in all patients. Conclusion TAE can not only effectively improve the hematuria and urinary tract obstruction symptoms caused by bladder cancer, but also effectively control the tumor growth, improve the quality of life and prolong the survival time as well.

AIM: To observe the effect of microRNA-16 (miR-16) on the megakaryocytic differentiation of K562 cells, and to explore the potential mechanism.METHODS:miR-16 was over-expressed or silenced by transfection with miR-16 mimics or inhibitor in K562 cells.The level of miR-16 was detected by real-time PCR.The expression of CD41, CD42b and CD61, as megakaryocytic differentiation markers, was detected by flow cytometry.The effect of miR-16 on the expression of myeloblastosis oncogene ( MYB) was measured by Western blotting, and flow cytometry was performed to confirm whether the effect of miR-16 on expression of CD41, CD42b and CD61 was mediated by MYB.RESULTS:Transfection with miR-16 mimics dramatically elevated the level of miR-16 and the expression of CD41, CD42b and CD61 in the K562 cells.Transfection with miR-16 inhibitor decreased the level of miR-16 and the expression of CD41, CD42b and CD61 in the K562 cells (P<0.05).The expression of MYB was regulated by miR-16, and MYB silencing reversed the regulation of CD41, CD42b and CD61 induced by miR-16.CONCLUSION:miR-16 regulates the megakaryocytic dif-ferentiation of K562 cells by targeting MYB.

Objective To investigate the relationship between abnormalities of maternal serum markers in Down syndrome screening in second trimester and adverse pregnancy outcome.Methods Totally,1935 pregnant women were screened for Down syndrome with maternal serum tri marker with time-resolved fluorescence assay,including alpha fetoprotein (AFP),free β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) and unconjugated estriol (uE3),between 15 and 20+6 gestational weeks at Peking Union Hospital from January 1,2009 to January 31,2011,and were followed up till delivery.The relationship between incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes and women with normal or abnormal levels of serum markers in Down syndrome screening was investigated.T-test or Chi-square test were applied for statistical comparison.Results (1) Among the 1935 pregnant women,normal levels of serum markers were found in 1255(normal group) and 680 were abnormal(abnormal group),in which 577 with only one abnormal serum marker,89 with two and 14 with three abnormal serum markers.According to the serum marker level,the 577 women with one abnormal serum marker were further divided into five groups,including high AFP group (n=17),low AFP group (n=114),high β-hCG group (n=242),low β-hCG group (n=139) and low uE3 group (n=65).The birth weight of infants in lower AFP group and the gestational age at delivery in low β-hCG group were greater than those in normal group [(61.3±9.1) kg vs (59.5±8.3) kg,(272.6±11.8) d vs (274.4±10.1) d,t=2.21 and 1.99,both P＜0.01].(2) The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome in normal group was 42.8％(537/1255),while comparing with the abnormal group(43.7％,297/680),no statistical significance was shown (RR =1.02,P =0.71).While comparing with the normal group,the incidences of placenta previa [25.5％ (32/1255) vs 2/17,RR=4.61,P＜0.05] and abnormal placental morphology were higher in high AFP group [4.1％ (51/1255) vs 5/17,RR=7.24,P＜ 0.05],the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was higher in low AFP group [8.1％ (101/1255) vs 14.4％(16/114),RR=1.74,P＜0.05],the incidence of placenta and membrane retention was higher in high β-hCG group [3.5％ (44/1255) vs 6.2％(15/242),RR=1.77,P＜0.05],the incidence of pre-eclampsia was higher in low β-hCG group [1.7％ (21/1255) vs 6.5％ (9/ 139),RR=3.87,P＜0.05].(3) There were 89 women with two abnormal serum markers.Comparing with the normal group,the incidences of small for gestional age (SGA) infants,oligohydramnios,abruptio placenta were higher in women with low AFP but high β-hCG [SGA infants:6.9％(2/29) vs 1.8％(22/1255),RR=3.94; oligohydramnios:20.7％(6/29) vs 6.4％(80/ 1255),RR=3.24; both P＜0.05],the incidences of oligohydramnios was higher in women with both low AFP and low uE3[3/14 vs 6.4％(80/1255),RR=3.36,P＜0.05],the incidence of premature birth and GDM were higher in women with both low β-hCG and low uE3 [premature birth:2/6 vs 4.3％(54/1255),RR=7.75; GDM:3/6 vs 8.0％ (101/1255),RR=6.21; both P＜0.05].(4) There were 14 women with three abnormal serum markers.The relationship between adverse outcome and abnormal serum markers did not show any statistical significance.Conclusions The abnormality of serum markers of Down syndrome screening is closely related to adverse pregnancy outcomes,and women with abnormal serum markers should be carefully monitored during pregnancy.
