Objective:To explore the value of serum matrix metalloproteinase-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-1), and phosphatase and tensin hmmlogydeleted on ten (PTEN), in predicting osteoporosis (OP) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) .Methods:The clinical data of.218 pregnant women with GDM treated in Linyi People’s Hospital from Sep. 2019 to Feb. 2023 were retrospectively collected and included in the GDM group. Another 98 healthy pregnant women who underwent physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group. Age, body mass index (BMI), blood glucose related indexes and serum MMP-1 and PTEN levels were compared between the two groups. According to the occurrence of osteoporosis (OP) in the second and third trimester of pregnancy, the GDM group was divided into OP group and non-OP group. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of OP in pregnant women with GDM in the second and third trimesters. ROC curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of serum MMP-1 and PTEN levels for osteoporosis in GDM pregnant women in the second and third trimesters.Results:Body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and serum MMP-1 and PTEN levels in GDM group were higher than those in control group, but BUA, SOS and SI were lower than those in control group ( t=6.18, 12.68, 9.91, 11.42, 7.70, 5.63, 5.76, 9.84, all P<0.05). Among 218 GDM women, 29 cases had OP and 189 cases did not have OP. There were no significant differences in fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood calcium, blood magnesium, or blood phosphorus between the two groups (statistical value: 0.96, 0.86, 1.35, 1.06, 0.49, P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, abnormal increase of MMP-1 and PTEN levels were independent risk factors for OP in GDM women in the second and third trimesters [ OR (95% CI) =1.260 (1.103-1.440) ,1.075 (1.031-1.120) ,1.055 (1.023-1.089), all P<0.05]. ROC curve showed that the AUC of MMP-1 and PTEN in predicting OP in GDM pregnant women in the second and third trimesters were 0.824 and 0.777, respectively. The AUC of the combination of the two in predicting OP in GDM pregnant women in the second and third trimesters was 0.933, and the specificity and sensitivity were 83.04% and 93.48%, respectively, which were higher than those of single detection. Conclusions:MMP-1 and PTEN in early pregnancy may play a potential role in the prediction of OP in pregnant women with GDM. Close monitoring of MMP-1 and PTEN levels may provide new ideas for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of OP high-risk patients.

Objective:To explore the application effect of multi-sensory stimulation with breastmilk in preterm infants with venipuncture pain, so as to provide theoretical guidance for clinical implementation of neonatal pain management.Methods:This study was a randomised controlled trial that selected 90 cases of preterm infants who were admitted to the Department of Neonatal Internal Medicine of Shanxi Children′s Hospital from May to October 2023, and were randomly divided into the control group and the intervention group, with 45 cases in each group. The control group received routine neonatal analgesia based on preparation before intervention, and the intervention group received multi-sensory stimulation with breastmilk based on preparation before intervention. Premature Infant Pain Profile-Revised(PIPP-R), The Chinese COMFORTneo Scale and physiological stress indicators (heart rate and oxygen saturation) were used to compare the pain level, comfort level and physiological stress response of preterm infants in the two groups 3 min before, during and 1 to 5 min after the venipuncture operation.Results:Finally, 80 cases of preterm infants were included with 40 cases in each group. The control group was born at a gestational age of (34.61 ± 1.16) weeks, with 19 males and 21 females; the intervention group was born at a gestational age of (34.74 ± 1.16) weeks, with 22 males and 18 females. Comparison between the groups showed that during and 5 min after the operation, the PIPP-R scale scores of the intervention group were (6.83 ± 0.26), (0.80 ± 0.25) points, respectively, which were lower than those of the control group (12.25 ± 0.70), (2.83 ± 0.36) points, and the differences were statistically significant (Wald χ2=53.31, 21.43, both P<0.01).The Chinese COMFORTneo Scale scores of the intervention group were (14.15 ± 0.64), (6.45 ± 0.13) points, which were lower than those of the control group (20.87 ± 0.82), (8.20 ± 0.32) points, and the differences were statistically significant (Wald χ2=41.89 and 25.75, both P<0.01); the heart rate of the intervention group were (161.07 ± 1.09), (142.48 ± 0.99) beats/min, which were lower than those of the control group(169.30 ± 1.93), (147.23 ± 2.15) beats/min, and the differences were statistically significant (Wald χ2=13.83, 4.03, both P<0.05). During the operation to 2 min after the operation, the blood oxygen saturation of the intervention group were 0.950 3 ± 0.004 0, 0.959 3 ± 0.003 4, 0.9663 ± 0.003 0, respectively, which were higher than those of the control group 0.925 3 ± 0.003 6, 0.940 5 ± 0.003 6, 0.9500 ± 0.004 3, and the differences were statistically significant (Wald χ2=21.98, 14.62, 9.70, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Multi-sensory stimulation with breastmilk can reduce the pain degree in preterm infants, improve the comfort level of preterm infants, reduce the physiological stress response and promote physiological stability of preterm infants during and after the operation of venipuncture.

Objective:To compare the localization accuracy of interictal 18F-FDG and 18F-flumazenil (FMZ) PET/CT imaging for focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 22 patients (12 males, 10 females; age 8-36 years) with pathologically confirmed FCD who underwent surgical resection at Huashan Hospital, Fudan University from July 2021 to June 2023. All patients underwent 18F-FDG and 18F-FMZ PET/CT scans before surgery. Surgical pathological diagnosis was used as the gold standard. Visual scoring was used to analyze the images. The accuracy of the two imaging methods in the localization of FCD was compared, and subgroup analysis (FCD Ⅱa, FCD Ⅱb) of different pathological type was further performed. Paired- t test, χ2 test or Fisher′s exact test was used to analyze the data. Results:The visual score of 18F-FMZ PET/CT was higher than that of 18F-FDG (3.00±0.82 vs 2.27±0.92; t=4.17, P=0.020). The accuracy of interictal 18F-FMZ PET/CT was 77.27%(17/22), which was higher than that of 18F-FDG PET/CT (36.36%, 8/22; χ2=7.50, P=0.006). Subgroup analysis showed that within the cohort of patients diagnosed with FCD Ⅱa ( n=18), 18F-FMZ PET/CT outperformed 18F-FDG in terms of accuracy for localization (15/18 vs 6/18; P=0.006). Conclusion:Compared to 18F-FDG, 18F-FMZ PET/CT demonstrates clearer and more accurate identification of lesion borders, and exhibits higher precision, which provides valuable guidance for preoperative localization.

Traditionally, the progression from compensated liver cirrhosis to decompensated liver cirrhosis has been considered an irreversible point in the natural history of the disease; however, with the suppression of underlying etiology, cure, and disease regression, this view is challenged by an increasing number of new evidence, and the idea of “recompensation of liver cirrhosis” is gradually being accepted. In recent years, scholars in China and globally have been exploring the specific definition of recompensation of liver cirrhosis and the clinical features of patients. By summarizing the recent studies on recompensation of liver cirrhosis in China and globally, integrating existing views, and analyzing related research evidence, this article points out the main challenges in the field of recompensation at this stage, including the lack of in-depth clinical and basic research, the need to define recompensation in the context of NAFLD, and related ethical issues, in order to provide new directions for future research in this field.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a group of highly heterogeneous diseases closely associated with metabolic dysfunction. Sarcopenia is a syndrome caused by a continuous decline in muscle mass, strength, and function, and it is often accompanied by NAFLD. Insulin resistance is the main pathological mechanism for sarcopenia and NAFLD, and in addition, factors such as changes in proteins and branched-chain amino acid, hyperammonemia, intestinal flora, and endocrine dysfunction can also lead to sarcopenia and NAFLD. With the deepening of clinical research, many published prospective studies have confirmed the existence of a bidirectional and complex pathophysiological relationship between sarcopenia and NAFLD. This article reviews the bidirectional relationship between sarcopenia and NAFLD, discusses the common pathogenesis of sarcopenia and NAFLD, summarizes the challenges faced in this field, and proposes new directions for the research on the bidirectional relationship between NAFLD and sarcopenia.

Objective:To construct the core competence evaluation index system of general practice residents by the Delphi method.Methods:After the literature review of home and abroad and group discussion, the core competence evaluation index system of general practice residents in the outpatient environment was preliminarily developed. On this basis, the index system was determined through two rounds of expert consultation. Excel 2015 and SPSS 26.0 were used for data entry and statistical analysis.Results:The active coefficients of the two rounds of expert consultation were 95.0% (19/20) and 100.0% (19/19) respectively, and the degree of authority of the two rounds of expert consultation was 0.86. An index system consisting of 6 first-level indicators and 28 second-level indicators was determined. The 6 first-level indicators were medical services/patient care, medical knowledge, professionalism, systems-based practice, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal communication, and communication skills.Conclusion:This study has constructed a complete and highly reliable core competence evaluation index system of general practice residents based on the outpatient environment, which can provide reference for the cultivation of the outpatient reception ability of general practice residents in the future.

Objective:To survey the status quo of clinical teaching by specialists in general practice residents training.Methods:Thirty-four general practice residents (14 males and 20 females, aged (27.9±1.8) years) who started standardized training in 2016, 2017 and 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were selected for interview. The semi-structured and open-ended telephone interviews were conducted 6 months after their completion of residency training. The 1st round of interviews with 12 residents of 2016 and 2017 batches was conducted in March 2020 and 2021 to understand their feelings and suggestions about specialty learning. Based on the interview results, literature review, expert consultation and internal discussion, a new model for specialty teaching was developed and applied for subsequent residency training. The second round of interviews was conducted with 22 residents of 2019 batch on March 2023 to investigate the implementation of the new model.Results:In the first round of interviews, 6 participants felt that the learning of specialty knowledge was not comprehensive enough; although all respondents said that they had received simulator training for the final exam in the specialty rotation, 2 people felt that it was not comprehensive and 2 mentioned that some of the items were not practised on a real person; all 12 respondents felt that there was a certain gap between the types of diseases they encountered in the specialty learning and the real world of work; 10 respondents mentioned that there was insufficient training in the management of chronic non-chronic diseases; 7 out of 9 respondents from primary care institutions mentioned that it was difficult to apply the learned specialty knowledge to real work due to local conditions; 7 respondents mentioned that the content and methods of teaching were inconsistent among different lecturers; and respondents hoped that the surgical training, physical exam training, medication instruction, and the length of outpatient follow-up consultations would be strengthened. In the second round of interviews, the feedback of respondents was more positive than in the first round, there were still problems with the separation of teaching and examination content, and insufficient practical training of skills; 2 respondents from general hospitals mentioned that the teaching of specialties should be further deepened, and 3 respondents from the primary care institutions mentioned that the teaching of treatment and follow-up management should be further strengthened. Twenty-one respondents generally accepted the new specialty teaching model, but said that there were big differences between teachers of different specialties and there were still problems such as insufficient guidance on drug treatment and follow-up.Conclusion:In general practice, residency training specialist teaching does not fully meet the requirements of the actual work of general practitioners, and although it has improved after optimization, there is still much room for improvement.

Objective:To observe the clinical evolution process and imaging characteristics of choroidal lesions in different subtypes of serpiginous choroiditis (SC), and to explore the clinical significance of subtype classification.Methods:A retrospective, uncontrolled and observational study. A total of 45 eyes of 25 SC patients diagnosed in Yunnan Eye Hospital from May 2009 to September 2021 were included in the study. According to the initial location of the lesion and fundus images, including fundus color photography, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and other examination results. SC was divided into peripapillary serpiginous choroiditis, macular serpiginous choroiditis and ampiginous choroiditis. According to the shape of the lesions at the first diagnosis, it can be divided into new lesions with only infiltrating edema, old lesions with only atrophy and recurrent lesions with coexistence of edema and atrophy. the imaging features, development and complications of different subtypes of ocular lesion were observed.Results:Among the 45 eyes of 25 cases, 15 cases were male and 10 cases were female, 20 cases of binocular and 5 cases of monocular, age was 42.3±5.7 years old. There were 21 eyes with active lesions, of which 5 eyes were new lesions and 16 eyes with recurrent lesions; 24 eyes were old lesions. Concurrent optic disc edema occurred in 3 eyes; mild vitreitis occurred in 5 eyes; retinal occurred vasculitis in 3 eyes; choroidal neovascularization occurred in 3 eyes. Among the 16 cases (64%, 16/25) of the peripapillary serpiginous choroiditis, 2 cases (2 eyes) were monocular, and 14 cases (28 eyes) were binocular. Active lesions were found in 16 eyes, of which patients with binocular lesions only one had active lesions. The choroidal lesions that were close to the optic disc or around the optic disc, expanded outwards centrifugally with the prolongation of the disease course, and can progress to the macula. The edge of the lesion was tortuous, with a geographic-like, amoeboid-like and finger-like, polypoid or propeller-like shape. Active lesions in FFA showed weak fluorescence in the early stage and strong fluorescence in the late stage; the old lesions showed weak fluorescence in the early stage and mottled fluorescence in the late stage, and mostly strong fluorescence on the edge. OCT showed thickening of active lesions and thinning of old lesions. Among the 4 cases (16.0%, 4/25) of macular type, 2 cases (2 monocular eyes) had active lesions; 2 cases (4 eyes) had lesion in both eyes, among them, 1 case (2 eyes) had old lesion, and the other case had alternate active lesions. The initial lesions were all located in the off-center of the macula, and most of them were disk-shaped and progressing centrifugally to the periphery. The FFA and OCT imaging findings of the lesions were similar to those of the peridisc type. Among the 5 cases (20.0%, 5/25) of ampiginous choroiditis, 1 case (1 eye) was monocular and 4 cases (8 eyes) were binocular. These lesions were multiple old lesions of varying sizes, gray-white with pigmentation, with clear borders in the posterior pole. Among them 4 eyes have new active lesions appeared near the old lesions. The old lesions showed weak fluorescence with clear borders, and the fluorescein leakage at the late edge formed a strong fluorescence ring; the active lesions showed weak fluorescent spots with blurred edges, and the fluorescence was slightly enhanced in the late stage. In old lesions, atrophy of the photoreceptor layer, RPE and choroid can be seen, and RPE hyperplasia in some areas.Conclusions:SC subtype is a classification of the location of the first lesion, but the characteristics of the repeated attack of this disease can lead to the annihilation of each subtype due to the continuous expansion of the lesion. The phenomenon that the fundus active lesions only occur in one eye that can explain the clinical manifestations of asymmetric morphology of binocular lesions. The characteristics of binocular subtype warn that the predilection site of the healthy eye should be paid attention to.
