Methods:
Stroke patients at ages of 18 to 59 years were recruited from those receiving rehabilitation treatment in Tongde Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from January 2021 to June 2022. Participants' demographics and clinical data were collected through questionnaire surveys. The compliance of functional exercises was assessed using Stroke Functional Exercise Adherence Questionnaire, and patients' social support, exercise self-efficacy and depression were assessed using the Social Support Rating Scale, Exercise Self-efficacy Scale and Self-rating Depression Scale. The factors affecting functional exercise compliance were identified among young and middle-aged stroke patients with a multivariable linear regression model.
Results:
A total of 230 questionnaires were allocated and 213 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 92.61%. The respondents included 129 men (60.56%) and 84 women (39.44%) and had a mean age of (53.49±7.95) years. The total score of functional exercise compliance was (41.37±9.11) points among the participants. Multivariable linear regression analysis identified education level (β'=0.376), monthly household income per capita (β'=0.309), history of stroke onset (β'=-0.238), rehabilitation instruction (β'=0.284), depression (β'=-0.261), exercise self-efficacy (β'=0.152), and social support level (β': 0.277 to 0.415) as factors affecting the functional exercise compliance among young and middle-aged stroke patients.
Conclusion
Education level, income, history of stroke onset, depression, exercise self-efficacy and social support may affect the compliance of exercise compliance among young and middle-aged stroke patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of intensive insulin therapy on long-term remittance of the islet β-cell function in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients. Methods 120 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were randomly divided into four groups, and intensive insulin therapy was given for 15 days, 30 days, 60 days and 90 days respectively. The islet β-cell function were measured before and 1 or 2 years after treatment, and the differences were compared among each group. Results The plasma glucose was controlled well and the islet β-cell function was significantly improved in each group after treatment. The ratio value of △I30/△G30 in groups of 30 days,60 days and 90 days were higher than group of 15 days[(1.48±0.43 )mmol/L vs (1.25±0.40) mmol/L, t=2.40,P<0.05, (1.83±0.37) mmol/L vs (1.25±0.40) mmol/L, t=2.85,P<0.01, (1.90±0.41) mmol/L vs (1.25±0.40) mmol/L, t=2.97,P<0.01]. The indexes of the islet β-cell secretion function all gradually declined in each group after treatment for 2 years, but still higher than before treatment, the ratio value of △I30/△G30 in groups of 60 days and 90 days were higher than group of 15 days and 30 days[(1.44±0.51)mmol/L vs (0.87±0.47) mmol/L,t=2.92, P<0.01, (1.44±0.51)mmol/L vs (1.09±0.55) mmol/L, t=2.44,P<0.05, (1.52±0.44) mmol/L vs (0.87±0.47) mmol/L, t=2.86, P<0.01, (1.52±0.44) mmol/L vs (1.09±0.55) mmol/L, t=2.50, P<0.05], there was no difference between group of 60 days and 90 days. The ratio of remittance in groups of 60 days and 90 days was very high. Conclusions Intensive insulin therapy can significantly improve the islet β-cell function of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients,anddelay the natural process. An appropriate extension of treatment can further prevent the descending rate of islet β-cell function, and easily get the long-term remission.

Objective To study the MRI characteristics of osteoblastoma and to discuss its diagnostic value. Methods Nine patients with osteoblastoma proved by pathology were examined with T_2WI, nonenhanced T_1WI and Gd-DTPA enhanced T_1WI MR imaging before operation MR finding were analyzed. Results Of nine patients, tumor originated from spine in five patients, from skull in three patients and from pelvis in one patient. Of these patients, benign osteoblastoma were in six patients and malignant were in three patients. On MRI, the tumor was an expanded osteolytic lesion, osteoid production formation was low or equal signal intensity on T_1WI and medial or high signal intensity on T_2WI. MRI showed low signal intensity of the calcification or ossification in osteoblastoma on T_2WI, and low or equal signal intensity on T_1WI. The ossified ring of tumor was low signal intensity on both T_1- and T_2WI. The adjacent soft tissue masses were showed on MRI. All patients given gadolinium showed enhancement within the osteoid production and the adjacent soft tissue mass, and no enhancement with ossification and calcification, cystoid and the ossified ring on MRI. The boundary of malignant osteoblastoma was obscure, and adjacent tissue could be invaded.Conclusion MR imaging can show all the characteristics of osteoblastoma well . It is of important value in diagnosis, operative orientation and staging of osteoblastoma, especially for the lesion originated from spine and skull.
