Objective To investigate the factors of hospitalization expense in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing non-emergency surgery.Methods A retrospective study included diabetic (109 cases) and control (162 cases) groups.Hospitalization expense and other observation indices were compared between two groups and subgroups.The factors that contribute to hospitalization expense were analyzed with multifactor regression analysis model.Results The median hospitalization expense was 12 014.74 yuan in the diabetic group,1.24 times than that in the control group (P =0.001).Diabetic group has higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification,longer wound healing time,higher postoperative infection rate,and longer hospital stay (P ＜ 0.01).Multifactor analysis revealed that the significant factors that influence the hospitalization expense were ASA classification (β =0.442,P =0.000),postoperative fasting plasma glucose (β =0.204,P =0.020),and postoperative infection (β =0.204,P =0.019).No significant difference was found in postoperative infection rate and hospitalization expense between two groups,when patients had received minimally invasive surgeries (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Type 2 diabetes patients have higher hospitalization expense;ASA classification,postoperative fasting plasma glucose,and postoperative infection are the main influence factors.Giving priority to minimally invasive surgeries and enhancing perioperative glucose control can help to reduce hospitalization expense in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture combined with tuina manipulation for thoracic facet joint disorder. Methods:A total of 93 eligible cases were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group. Patients in the observation group (n=46) were treated with acupuncture combined with tuina manipulation, whereas patients in the control group (n=47) were treated with tuina manipulation alone. The treatment was done once a day, for a total of 3 times. Therapeutic efficacies were then evaluated according to scores on signs and symptoms.
Results:After treatment, there were intra-group statistically significant differences in scores of eight signs and symptoms (all P<0.01); and the between-group differences were statistically significant in scores of eight signs and symptoms (all P<0.05). After three times of treatment, the recovery rate in the observation group was 54.4%, versus 25.4% in the control group, showing a statistical significance (P<0.05).
Conclusion:Acupuncture combined with tuina manipulation can obtain better effects than tuina manipulation alone for thoracic facet joint disorder and is therefore worth further clinical application.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of loneliness on the relationship between interpersonal adaptation and mobile phone addiction in college students.Methods:Totally 368 college students (176 males and 192 females )were surveyed with the College Student Adaptability (CSAI),University of Califomiaat Los Angels (UCLA)and Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI).Then AMOS18.0 was used to establish structural equation modeling (SEM)among interpersonal adaptation,loneliness and mobile phone addiction,and test the mediating effect of loneliness on the relationship between interpersonal adaptation and mobile phone addiction in college students.Results:The MPAI scores were significantly higher in the low interpersonal adaptation group (the score of CSAI less than 21 )than in the high interpersonal adaptation group (the score of CSAI higher than 32)(P<0.001).The scores of interpersonal adaptation were negatively correlated with scores of loneliness and mobilephone addiction (r =-0.71,-0.25,P﹤0.01).The scores of loneliness were positively correlated with scores ofmobile phone addiction (r =0.32,P ﹤ 0.01).College students'interpersonal adaptation did not have significantnegative predictability for mobile phone addiction (β=﹣0.08,P =0.32),but it had significant negative predictabilityfor loneliness (β=﹣0.71,P <0.001).Loneliness had significant positive predictability for mobile phone addiction(β=0.29,P <0.001).Conclusion:The results show loneliness completely plays a mediating effect betweeninterpersonal adaptation and mobile phone addiction.

Objective To compare the effects of general anesthesia versus combined epidural?general anesthesia on postoperative complications in the patients undergoing thoracic surgery. Methods Two hundred twenty?one patients of both sexes, aged 18-80 yr, weighing 36-100 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ?Ⅲ, scheduled for elective thoracic surgery, were randomly divided into either combined epidural?general anesthesia group ( group GE, n=112) or general anesthesia group ( group GA, n=109) . The patients were further allocated to high?risk population and low?risk population. Anesthesia was induced with target?controlled infusion of remifentanil and iv injection of propofol, sufentanil and rocuronium. A double?lumen endotracheal tube was placed, and the patients were mechanically ventilated. Partial pressure of end?tidal CO2 was maintained at 30-40 mmHg. Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of 1% sevoflurane, target?controlled infusion of remifentanil, iv infusion of propofol, and intermittent iv boluses of sufentanil. 2% lidocaine 4 ml∕h was infused epidurally in group GE, and normal saline 4 ml∕h was given in group GA. Bispectral index value was maintained at 40-60 during surgery. Patient?controlled epidural analgesia ( PCEA ) was performed after surgery. PCEA solution contained
0.125% ropivacaine and sufentanil 0.5μg∕ml ( in 250 ml of normal saline) . The PCEA pump was set up to deliver a 2 ml bolus dose with a 20?min lockout interval and background infusion at 4 ml∕h, and visual analogue scale ( VAS) score was maintained less than 4. When VAS score ≥ 5, sufentanil 5 μg was injected intravenously as the rescue analgesic. The requirement for rescue analgesics after surgery, length of hospital stay after surgery, complications during postsurgical hospital stay ( cardiovascular events, cardiac insufficiency, acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary infection, stroke, transient cerebral ischemic attack) , and death within 30 days after surgery were recorded. Results Compared with group GE, the incidence of postsurgical cardiovascular events and atrial fibrillation was significantly decreased in group GA ( P<0.05) . In the high?risk population, compared with group GE, the length of hospital stay after surgery was significantly shortened, and the incidence of postsurgical atrial fibrillation was decreased in group GA ( P<0.05) . In the low?risk population, compared with group GE, the length of hospital stay after surgery was significantly shortened (P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the incidence of postsurgical complications, requirement for rescue analgesics after surgery, and fatality rate in group GA (P>0.05). Conclusion Compared with combined epidural?general anesthesia, general anesthesia alone provides lower occurrence of postsurgical complications for the patients undergoing thoracic surgery, and offers advantage for the high?risk patients having underlying diseases before surgery.
