Objective To investigate muscle mass reduction and the effect of exercise training intervention in non-obese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods A total of 324 non-obese patients with T2DM admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University were enrolled from February 2023 to February 2025. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was adopted to detect and analyze the data of appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI). Non-obese T2DM patients were classified into an observation group (n=162, receive sports training intervention) and a control group (n=162, receiving routine exercise intervention) by adopting random number grouping criteria. Both groups were intervened for 3 months. The muscle mass indicators [ASMI, body mass index (BMI), and body fat rate], exercise ability [6-minute walking distance (6MWD), grip strength, and one-leg standing time], metabolic indicators [fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR)], and quality of life [Diabetes Quality of Life Scale (DQOL)] were compared between the two groups to evaluate the effectiveness of sports training intervention. Results A total of 324 non-obese T2DM patients were enrolled, including 123 cases with reduced muscle mass (37.96%). There were no significant differences in the baseline data and the proportion of patients with muscle mass reduction between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). After intervention, the ASMI, 6MWD, grip strength, and one-leg standing time in the observation group were higher or longer than those of the control group (P<0.05), while the body fat rate, FPG, HbA1c, HOMA-IR and DQOL scores were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of muscle mass reduction is relatively high among non-obese T2DM patients, and exercise training intervention has significant effects on improving muscle mass, metabolic status, exercise capacity and quality of life in non-obese T2DM patients.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinicopathological features of patients with comorbidities of chronic hepatitis B （CHB） and steatotic liver disease （SLD）， to investigate the impact of hyperglycemia on the risk of liver fibrosis and end-stage liver diseases （ESLD）， and to provide a basis for the clinical management of such population. MethodsA total of 668 adult patients with CHB-SLD confirmed by liver biopsy in The Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2011 to December 2019 were enrolled， and a retrospective cohort was established with the time of liver biopsy as the baseline and the onset of ESLD as the endpoint. All patients were followed up to March 31， 2024. Propensity score matching （PSM） was performed at a ratio of 1∶4 to balance baseline features between groups， resulting in 82 patients in the hyperglycemia group and 281 in the non-hyperglycemia group. The two groups were compared in terms of metabolic profiles， laboratory markers， and histopathological features. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed quantitative data between two groups. The chi-square test or Fisher exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. A multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for advanced fibrosis （AF）， and the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and the Cox proportional-hazards regression model were used to determine the influencing factors for the development of ESLD. ResultsCompared with the non-hyperglycemia group， the hyperglycemia group had a significantly higher number of factors for metabolic disorders， a significantly higher degree of hepatic steatosis， and a significantly higher detection rate of AF （all P<0.05）. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hyperglycemia was a risk factor for AF （odds ratio = 1.753， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.017　—　3.023， P=0.043）. The survival analysis showed that hyperglycemia increased the risk of ESLD （χ²=4.340， P=0.037）. The multivariate Cox regression analysis confirmed that hyperglycemia was a significant metabolic risk factor for ESLD in patients with AF （adjusted hazard ratio=3.208， 95%CI： 1.201　—　8.568， P=0.020）. ConclusionHyperglycemia can increase the risk of AF and ESLD in CHB-SLD patients. Clinical monitoring and active management should be strengthened for patients who have already developed AF and hyperglycemia.

ObjectiveTo explore the latent profiles of sleep patterns and their association with gastrointestinal heat accumulation syndrome in preschool children in Beijing. MethodsA cross-sectional study design was adopted， and preschool children were recruited from 57 kindergartens in Beijing using convenience sampling. Sleep characteristics and gastrointestinal heat accumulation syndrome was assessed using the Chinese version of the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children （SDSC） and Self-rating Diagnostic Scale for Gastrointestinal Heat Retention Syndrome in children （GHRS）. Latent profile analysis （LPA） was applied to identify distinct sleep-related subgroups， and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between different sleep profiles and gastrointestinal heat accumulation syndrome. ResultsA total of 6878 preschool children were included in the study. Among them， 3.46% of the children （238/6878） had sleep disorders， while 54.42% （3743/6878） had gastrointestinal heat accumulation. Compared to children without gastrointestinal heat accumulation syndrome， those with this syndrome exhibited a higher prevalence of sleep disorders， higher SDSC scores， higher T-transformed total scores， and higher scores across all dimensions， including disorders of initiating sleep， disorders of maintaining sleep， sleep hyperhidrosis， sleep breathing disorders， parasomnias， nonrestorative sleep and excessive somnolence （P＜0.01）. Latent profile analysis identified four distinct sleep characteristic profiles， which were the mixed high-symptom group （32.39%， 2228/6878）， sleep initiation and maintenance difficulty symptom group （49.07%， 3375/6878）， low-symptom group （14.19%， 976/6878）， and the group with no significant symptoms （4.35%， 299/6878）. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the mixed high-symptom group， sleep initiation and maintenance difficulty symptom group， and low-symptom group were significantly associated with gastrointestinal heat accumulation syndrome. Among them， the mixed high-symptom group had the most significant association with gastrointestinal heat accumulation （OR=12.657， P＜0.001）， followed by the sleep initiation and maintenance difficulty symptom group （OR=4.964， P＜0.001）. ConclusionSleep characteristics in preschool children mainly present as composite patterns with different symptom combinations. Moreover， the sleep latent profiles of the mixed high-symptom group， the sleep initiation and maintenance difficulty symptom group， and the low-symptom group were significantly associated with gastrointestinal heat accumulation syndrome.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between parental psychological control and Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) among junior high school students, so as to provide evidence for preventing IGD development in adolescents. Methods: From August 2019 to February 2020, a survey was conducted among 1 169 junior high school students from three middle schools in Xian using stratified cluster sampling. The Parental Psychological Control Scale and IGD Scale were administered to assess parental psychological control and IGD prevalence. Univariate and binary Logistic regression analyses were used to explore IGD risk factors and their correlation with parental psychological control. Results: The detection rate of IGD in middle school students was 19.9%(184/1 169). Multivariate Logistic regression revealed that compared to those with lower parental psychological control scores(≤21 points), students with higher parental psychological control scores (>21 points) had a higher risk of IGD (OR=1.82, 95%CI=1.21-2.74), a 1.58fold higher risk of selfperceived gaming addiction (95%CI=1.07-2.30), as well as reduced likelihood of seeking external help to reduce gaming time (OR=0.66, 95%CI=0.47-0.94) (P<0.05). Conclusions Parental psychological control may elevate the risks of IGD and selfperceived addiction while diminishing proactive helpseeking behaviors to reduce gaming time. Parents should enhance communication with adolescents and provide positive guidance to mitigate potential gamingrelated harms.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation of the serum levels of aminotransferases and their ratios with liver inflammation activity in pediatric chronic hepatitis B （pCHB） patients， and to provide a basis for selecting the dominant population for treatment. MethodsThis study was conducted among 1 267 pCHB patients who were admitted to The Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2010 to August 2022 and these patients did not receive antiviral therapy. The patients were analyzed in terms of demographic features， blood routine， blood biochemistry， HBV serological markers， and liver biopsy data. According to liver inflammation activity based on liver biopsy， the patients were divided into no or mild inflammation activity （G0‍ ‍—‍ ‍G1） group and significant inflammation activity （G2‍ ‍—‍ ‍G4） group. The serum levels of aminotransferases and their ratios were compared between groups， and their correlation with liver inflammation activity in pCHB patients was analyzed. Additionally， the patients were stratified by the age， and the relationship between serum aminotransferase levels and liver inflammation activity was analyzed in each age group. For comparison of continuous data between two groups， the independent samples t-test was used when the data were normally distributed， while the Mann-Whitney U test was used when the data were not normally distributed； the chi-square test was employed for comparison of categorical data between two groups. A Spearman’s correlation analysis was performed for correlation assessment. ResultsAmong the 1 267 pCHB patients， there were 468 （36.9%） in the G0‍ ‍—‍ ‍G1 group and 799 （63.1%） in the G2‍ ‍—‍ ‍G4 group， and there were significant differences between the two groups in the levels of aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， AST/ALT ratio， gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase （GGT）， total bilirubin， direct bilirubin， HBeAg quantification， low-density lipoprotein， and platelet count （PLT） （all P<0.05）. The correlation analysis showed that liver inflammation activity was negatively correlated with PLT and low-density lipoprotein （both P<0.05） and was positively correlated with GGT， total bilirubin， direct bilirubin， and HBeAg titer （all P<0.05）， while it was not significantly correlated with ALT， AST， and AST/ALT ratio （all P>0.05）. In the 0‍ ‍—‍ ‍12 years group， the 13‍ ‍—‍ ‍18 years male group， and the 13‍ ‍—‍ ‍18 years female group， liver inflammation activity aggravated with the increases in the serum levels of ALT and AST， and there were significant differences between groups （all P<0.05）. In the 0‍ ‍—‍ ‍12 years group， there was a significant difference in significant liver inflammation activity between the AST/ALT ratio >1 group and the AST/ALT ratio ≤1 group （P<0.001）. Among the 1 267 patients， 447 （35.28%） had an ALT level of <2×upper limit of normal （ULN）， among whom 196 （43.85%） had G≥2 liver inflammation， accounting for 15.47% of all children enrolled. ConclusionLiver inflammation activity is not significantly correlated with ALT， AST， and AST/ALT ratio in pCHB patients， suggesting that the serum levels of aminotransferases cannot truly reflect liver inflammation activity in pCHB patients with an aminotransferase level of <2×ULN. In clinical practice， liver biopsy should be performed for children with an aminotransferase level of <2×ULN to clarify whether antiviral therapy should be performed.

Objective To construct a classification model for surgical patients and apply it in the allocation of nursing human resources,providing a reference for nursing human resource management.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to retrospectively select 5,431 hospitalized surgical patients admitted to 6 surgical nursing units of a tertiary general hospital in Suzhou from July to November 2022 as the subjects of this study.The nursing hours were measured,and related influencing factors were analyzed.A decision tree classification method was used to establish a classification model for surgical patients.From August to October 2022,1,527 hospitalized surgical patients admitted to 3 nursing units of the same hospital were conveniently selected.The minimum number of nurses required daily was calculated using the surgical patient classification model,actual nursing hours measurement method,nurse-to-bed ratio method,and 8-hour continuous shift scheduling method.The application effect of the surgical patient classification model in nursing human resource allocation was evaluated with the actual nursing hours measurement method as the standard.Results The surgical patient classification model includes 7 classification indicators:length of hospital stay,diagnosis-related group weight,presence or absence of secondary care orders,surgical grade,anesthesia method,age,and presence or absence of critical illness orders.Patients were divided into 14 groups,and the model explained 90.5％of the total variance in nursing workload.The minimum number of nurses required in surgical nursing units calculated based on this model was closest to the result of the actual nursing hours measurement method and was superior to the results of the nurse-to-bed ratio method and the 8-hour continuous shift scheduling method.Conclusion The surgical patient classification model can accurately reflect the nursing workload of such patients.The classification indicators are simple and easy to obtain,and can guide the allocation of human resources in surgical nursing units.

Objective:To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of X-linked intellectual disability associated with HUWE1 gene variants.Methods:A cases series study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 6 children with HUWE1 gene variants. The children were identified from the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine, and Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center of Guangzhou Medical University between April 2021 and July 2023.The data included sex, age, dysmorphic features, intellectual and motor development, seizure history, neuroimaging findings, family history, and genetic results was analyzed.Results:A total of 6 children, including 5 boys and 1 girl. The age of onset ranged from 1 day to 3 years. All children presented with varying degrees of intellectual disability, with or without motor developmental delay. Dysmorphic features were observed in 4 children, including microcephaly in 3 children. Short stature were observed in 3 children. One child was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders and 1 child had seizures. Two boys had relevant maternal family histories of febrile seizures and mild intellectual disability, respectively. Abnormal neuroimaging findings were presented in 4 children, including cerebral dysplasia (1 child), prominent supratentorial ventricles (1 child), and mild white matter demyelination (2 children). Whole-exome sequencing identified 5 missense variants and 1 in-frame deletion variant. Five variants were novel and previously unreported (c.12290C>T, c.12701T>C, c.9875C>T, c.9641A>T and c.10313_10315del). The variants in 4 boys were maternally inherited, while the remaining 2 children had de novo variants. The child with the in-frame deletion variant (c.10313_10315del) presented with the most severe phenotype, exhibiting symptoms from 1 day of age, absent cognitive development, feeding difficulties, and congenital laryngeal chondrodysplasia. He was lost to follow-up at 3 months of age after treatment was withdrawn. The age at the last follow-up for the remaining 5 children ranged from 2 years and 10 months to 17 years. A boy with seizures died at 2 years and 10 months of age. The remaining 4 children were able to walk independently at the last follow-up, although their developmental progress was slow. Conclusions:HUWE1 gene related X-linked intellectual disability is characterized by varying degrees of developmental delay and intellectual disability, frequently accompanied by microcephaly, short stature, and occasionally by seizures and autism spectrum disorders. Missense variants are more common and the in-frame deletion variant appears to be associated with a particularly severe phenotypic presentation.

Objective To investigate the current status of cleaning,disinfection,and sterilization management of dental instruments in medical institutions in Henan Province,analyze potential issues in hospital infection control,and propose targeted nursing strategies.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to survey the cleaning,disinfection,and sterilization management of dental instruments in 352 medical institutions in Henan Province from February to April 2024.A self-made questionnaire was designed,covering aspects such as the handling model and personnel configuration for dental instruments,training for cleaning,disinfection,and sterilization personnel,configuration and maintenance of cleaning and disinfection equipment,use and management of small pressure steam sterilizers,and reprocessing status of dental instruments.Results A total of 352 questionnaires were distributed,with 348 valid responses.Among the 34 primary medical institutions,only 10(29.41％)had a centralized cleaning,disinfection,and sterilization model for dental instruments;13(38.24％)had dedicated personnel for cleaning,disinfection,and sterilization of dental instruments;25(73.53％)were equipped with pressure water guns.Compari-sons among medical institutions of different levels showed statistically significant differences(P＜0.001).In the 348 medical institutions,194(55.75％)arranged pre-job training for nursing personnel;143(41.09％)performed mainte-nance on cleaning and disinfection equipment once a year;52(14.94％)did not perform pre-treatment on contaminated dental instruments after use.Among the 104 institutions using small pressure steam sterilizers,21(20.19％)used Type N small pressure steam sterilizers.Conclusion The centralized management rate of dental instruments and the basic equipment configuration rate in primary medical institutions in Henan Province are relatively low.There are issues such as insufficient personnel training,neglect of equipment maintenance,improper management of small pressure steam sterilizer usage,and incomplete reprocessing procedures in medical institutions at all levels.It is recommended that nursing managers further strengthen the training of nurses in the disinfection supply center,standardize the cleaning,disinfection,and sterilization workflow for dental instruments,in order to prevent and control hospital infections.

Objective To explore the value of peripheral blood stress disorder related indexes in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.Methods 300 patients with acute abdominal pain admitted from January 2018 to June 2020(abdominal pain group).Proline peptidase activity,total oxidant status level(TOS),total antioxidant status level(TAS)and oxidative stress index(OSI)in peripheral blood were detected upon admission.According to the treatment outcome,the patients were divided into surgical treatment group(ST group,99 cases),non-surgical treatment group(MT group,102 cases)and non-specific abdominal pain group(NSAP group,99 cases).100 volunteers who underwent physical examination in our hospital were the control group.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the independent predictors of surgical treatment.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of TOS and proline peptidase levels in surgical abdominal pain.Results(1)Peripheral blood TAS level[(36.84±10.08)μmol Trolox equiv./L VS(25.51±7.34)μmol Trolox equiv./L],OSI level[(3.68±1.77)VS(2.48±0.89)]and proline peptidase activity[(1 013.58±296.84)U/L vs.(842.65±147.25)U/L]in patients with abdominal pain group were higher than those in control group Group(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in TOS level in peripheral blood between abdominal pain group and control group[(1.10±0.22)μmol H2O2 equiv./L vs.(1.06±0.24)μmol H2O2 equiv./L](P＞0.05).(2)TAS level[(41.06±9.75)μmol Trolox equiv./L vs.(34.81±10.50)μmol Trolox equiv./L vs.(26.95±6.57)μmol Trolox equiv./L]and proline peptidase activity[(1 207.58±254.12)U/L vs.(998.65±248.96)U/L vs.(873.65±132.04)U/L]in ST group were significantly higher than those in MT group And NSAP group.The OSI level of ST group was significantly higher than that of NSAP group[(3.90±3.87)vs.(2.42±0.65)],with statistical significance(P＞0.05),but there was no statistical significance compared with MT group(3.85±1.08)(P＞0.05).(3)Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis showed that plasma TOS level(OR=1.383)and proline peptidase level(OR=1.235)were independent predictors of surgical treatment in patients with emergency abdominal pain.The higher the plasma TOS level and proline peptidase level,the higher the risk of surgical treatment.(4)ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve(AUC)of plasma TOS for diagnosing surgical abdominal pain was 0.652,and the optimal diagnostic value was 39.65 μmol H2O2 equiv./L.The AUC of proline peptidase was 0.664,and the best diagnostic value was 1 696.58 U/L.The AUC of combined diagnosis was 0.813,the sensitivity was 78.25％,and the specificity was 59.65％.Conclusion In emergency,plasma proline protease activity and TOS levels have certain reference significance for determining whether patients need urgent surgical treatment.

Objective To investigate the prevalence status and influencing factors of metabolic syndrome (MS) in adult patients with hypopituitarism (HP) during hospitalization. Methods The data of adult HP patients who received treatment in the hospital were collected from March 2021 to March 2024. The prevalence status of MS in adult HP patients was counted, and logistic regression analysis was adopted to analyze the influencing factors of MS in adult HP patients. Results Among the 308 adult HP patients in this study, 121 cases developed MS and 187 cases did not develop MS, and they were included in the MS group (n=148) and the non-MS group (n=232). The incidence of MS in adult HP patients was 38.95% (148/380). Compared with the non-MS group, the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the MS group were higher, the waist circumference was larger, and the growth hormone was lower (P<0.05). After logistic regression analysis, it was found that high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR=1.069, 95%CI: 1.010-1.132, P=0.021), total serum cholesterol (OR=1.065, 95%CI: 1.014-1.119, P=0.012), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR=1.055, 95%CI: 1.005-1.108, P=0.031), waist circumference (OR=1.063, 95%CI: 1.006-1.123, P=0.030) and growth hormone (OR=1.077, 95%CI: 1.019-1.138, P=0.009) could independently affect the occurrence of MS in adult HP patients (P<0.05). Conclusion Adult HP patients during hospitalization are often complicated with MS. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, waist circumference, and growth hormone are factors affecting the occurrence of MS in adult HP patients.
