Objective To assess the awareness of nutrition issues among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to find effective nutrition education models. Methods According to cluster random sampling method,256 T2DM patients from 2 hospitals in Zhengzhou City were enrolled and randomly assigned to the study or control group. The participants in the study group received traditional nutrition education and real object-based diabetic diet guidance, and those in the control group received traditional nutrition education only. Awareness about nutrition and blood glucose levels were compared between the two groups by using independent t test and Chi-square test Results After the intervention, the study group showed significantly higher nutrition scores ( 86. 5 ± 3.8 vs 71.5 ± 4. 6, P ＜ 0. 05 ) and lower 2 h postprandial glucose level ( ( 9. 15 ± 1.06 ) mmol/L vs ( 11.32 ± 0. 84) mmol/L, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion Real object-based diabetic diet teaching could foster the awareness in nutrition and decrease postprandial blood glucose level in T2DM patients.

BACKGROUND:Bone ultrastructural destruction is an important cause for bone strength decrease,bone friability and bone fracture incidence increase in osteoporosis.OBJECTIVE:To observe the ultrastructural changes of distal femur cancellous bone in glucocorticoid (GC)-treated rats by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).METHODS:A total of 32 female Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 3.5 months old,were respectively treated with methylprednisolone 3.5 mg/kg per day by subcutaneous injection to induce osteoporosis and normal saline.At 4 and 9 weeks,the distal femurs were coronary sectioned and rinsed with distilled water,dehydrated in graded ethanol,coated with gold,and observed by SEM.RESULIS AND CONCLUSION:Compared to the control,the number of bone trabeculae in the GC group was significantly decreased,and the bone trabeculae became thin,fragile,discontinuous;network structures of bone trabeculae were destroyed,and bone resorption surface increased,with disorderly arranged collagenous fibers and increased micro-damage.Rats treated with GC for 4 weeks maintained better bone ultrestructure compared with rats treated with GC for 9 weeks.Results show that GC can induce bone mass lost,destroy network structures of bone trabeculae,accelerate bone resorption in rat cancellous bone,and accordingly lead to increased bone brittleness and decreased bone functional of biodynamics.

Objective To construct a database for the genetic polymorphism of 19 STR loci in Han population from Hainan province. To investigate the application of 19 STR loci in the paternity testing. Methods The genotypes of 462 unrelated individuals in Hainan were detected with GoldeneyeTM 20A PCR Amplification Kit. 19-STR database was acquired, analyzed and evaluated in 283 paternity testing cases. Results No deviations of allele frequency from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium expectations were found for Chi-square test (P>0.05). Observed heterozygosity (Hobs) varied between 0.603 and 0.914, total discrimination power (TDP) of 19 STR loci was more than 0.999999999999999, cumulative probability of exclusion (CPE) for triplet cases was 0.999999994. In all 283 paternity testing cases, triplets and duos were 170 and 113 respectively; there were 36 (12.7%) excluded cases comparing to 247 confirmed cases (87.3%). 14 mutation events were observed, and all were one-step mutation. Conclusion 14 out of 19 loci showed highly polymorphic in Han population from Hainan, and 19 STR system has high cumulative probability of exclusion and can meet the needs of paternity test of the local region. But mutation should be paid special attention to.

Objective To investigate mortality risk factors in patients with severe cardiorenal syndrome treated with continuous hemofiltration therapy. So we can optimally select patients who may benefit more from this therapy. Methods The clinical data of 68 severe cardiorenal syndrome patients admitted to the ICU of Beijing Shijitan Hospital from May 2012 to May 2015 were retrospectievly analyzed and evaluated. These patients were divided into two groups based on survival or death during hospitalization. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify independent risk factors for death of patients with severe cardiorenal syndrome during ICU stay. Results There were 36 cases in the death group and 32 cases in the survival group. In the death group, the age,mechanical ventilation rates, vasoactive drug application rates, leukocytes, neutrophils, C-reactive protein,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular end-systolic diameter were significantly higher than those in the survival group,while hemoglobin, serum creatinine, left ventricular ejection fraction, average single amount of dehydration in continuous hemofiltration process were significantly lower than those in the survival group. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, vasoactive drug application rates, APACHEⅡscore and leukocytes were independent risk factors of mortality. Conclusions Cardiac function, mechanical ventilation therapy, average single amount of dehydration in continuous hemofiltration, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein were closely related to the prognosis of severe cardiorenal syndrome patients. The patient′s age,infection, vasoactive drug application, APACHEⅡ score were important risk factors of mortality during hospitalization.

Objective To study a novel method for the high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR) CT image to the intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) CT image deformable image registration and dose accumulation.Methods The applicator in the HDR CT image is first segmented and removed,then a deflation step is performed on the applicator-free HDR CT image by solving the Navier-Stokes equation.Demons algorithm is utilized to register the deflated HDR CT image to the IMRT CT image,along with the HDR dose.The deformed HDR dose is then added on the IMRT dose and yield the final accumulated dose.Results The HDR CT image and IMRT CT image,as well as the corresponding dose distribution,from five cervical cancer patients are used for evaluation of the proposed algorithm,the results show that the proposed method can effectively get rid of the influence of the applicator and produce an accurate accumulated dose.Conclusions Dose accumulation and supervision is an important step in adaptive radiotherapy for accurate dose delivery and treatment plan re-optimization.The proposed method in this study can effectively accumulate the HDR dose to the IMRT dose domain,and the accuracy is proved to be sufficient for clinical needs.
