Objective To understand the status of body image disturbance and its influencing factors in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), so as to provide a scientific basis for the clinical management of AS. Methods A total of 353 AS patients admitted from January 2022 to December 2024 were selected as research subjects. Chinese version of Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire (BIDQ) was used to investigate the body image disturbance in AS patients. Single factor analysis was performed by t test and analysis of variance, and multiple factors were analyzed by multivariate linear regression. Results The total score of BIDQ in 342 AS patients was (25.01±4.22). Multivariate linear regression analysis results showed that self-paid medical expense, nighttime VAS score and negative emotion PANAS score could positively predict body image disturbance in AS patients (standardized regression coefficient=0.413, 0.413, 0.460, P<0.05), and PSSS score, positive emotion PANAS score and exercise management CDSSM score could negatively predict body image disturbance (standardized regression coefficient=-0.245, -0.134, -0.247, P<0.05). Conclusion The body image disturbance in AS patients is worthy of clinical attention. Nighttime pain, negative emotion and self-paid medical treatment can increase the risk of body image disturbance. Positive emotion, social support and high self-management level of exercise behavior can reduce the formation of body image disturbance, which can provide new ideas for clinical management of AS patients.

Objective To explore the nutritional status in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and analyze its relationship with the risk of sarcopenia. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 312 elderly patients with T2DM admitted to the 904th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the People&#39;s Liberation Army between January 2023 and December 2025. Based on the presence or absence of sarcopenia, the patients were classified into a sarcopenia group (121 cases) and a non-sarcopenia group (191 cases). The nutritional status and related factors were compared between the two groups. Binary logistic regression analysis was adopted to analyze the correlation and influencing factors. Results The incidence rate of sarcopenia among elderly patients with T2DM was 38.78%. Compared with the non-sarcopenia group, the sarcopenia group had older age and higher proportions of patients with daily activity dependence, coronary heart disease, and gastrointestinal diseases. Conversely, the proportions of patients exercising ≥4 times per week and those paying attention to nutritional knowledge were lower in the sarcopenia group than those in the non-sarcopenia group (P<0.05). The body mass index (BMI), calf circumference (CC), body weight, albumin (ALB), hemoglobin (Hb), and MNA-SF score in the sarcopenia group were lower compared with those in the non-sarcopenia group (P<0.05). After logistic regression analysis, it was found that low BMI, exercising ≥4 times per week, dependence on daily activity, and low ALB and Hb were independent factors influencing sarcopenia in elderly patients with T2DM (P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence rate of sarcopenia is relatively high in elderly patients with T2DM. Low BMI, low ALB, low Hb, reduced weekly exercise frequency, and daily activity dependence are independent related factors. It is necessary to pay clinical attention to nutritional assessment and intervention.

As the first marketed epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, gefitinib plays an important role in the targeted therapy of malignant tumors such as non-small cell lung cancer, but this drug can cause serious adverse effects such as liver toxicity. If the reaction occurs, the drug must be stopped for liver protection treatment, which greatly affects the treatment process of cancer. However, the mechanism of gefitinib-induced hepatotoxicity is still unclear, and clinical treatment measures are very limited. This article aims to review the molecular mechanism of gefitinib-induced hepatotoxicity and the commonly used clinical therapeutic drugs, so as to provide scientific basis for clinical prevention and rational drug use.

AIM:To compare the changes of macular microcirculation in eyes with idiopathic and diabetic macular epiretinal membrane(ERM)before and after pars plana vitrectomy(PPV), and to evaluate the prognosis of the two types of ERM.

METHODS:We conducted a retrospective study on 24 patients(24 eyes), 12 patients(12 eyes)with idiopathic macular epiretinal membrane(iERM)and 12 patients(12 eyes)with diabetic macular epiretinal membrane(dERM)who underwent PPV combined with ERM and internal limiting membrane(ILM)peeling from April 2020 to July 2020. In addition, 16 contralateral healthy eyes of iERM patients who underwent PPV combined with ERM and ILM removal from September 2019 to July 2020 were selected as the normal control group. All patients were followed up for more than 3mo. The area of foveal avascular zone(FAZ)and the macular vascular density(MVD), including superficial macular vascular density(SVD)and deep macular vascular density(DVD)were compared before and after surgery. And the prognosis was also analysed.

RESULTS: The area of FAZ in the iERM group and dERM group before surgery were significantly smaller than that in the control group(P<0.05); The total SVD in the iERM and dERM groups were lower than that in the control group, and the dERM group was lower than that in the iERM group, but no statistically significant difference was found. The total DVD in the iERM and dERM groups was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05). The foveal SVD in the iERM was significantly higher than that in the dERM and control groups, and the foveal DVD in the iERM was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05). The parafoveal SVD in the iERM and dERM groups were lower than that in the control group, but only the difference was obvious between the dERM and the control group(P<0.05). The parafoveal DVD in the iERM and dERM groups were significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05). Postoperative visual acuity was significantly improved in the iERM group and dERM group(P<0.05), but the SVD was barely changed. The total and parafoveal DVD in the iERM group were statistically higher than those before surgery(P<0.05). DVD in the dERM group was higher than it was before surgery, but with no statistically difference. There were no differences in the visual acuity, SVD and DVD between the iERM and dERM groups after operation.

CONCLUSION: The changes of macular microcirculation in dERM were more obvious than those in iERM. DVD in the iERM patients was improved at the early stage after operation, while the improvement was not obvious in the dERM patients.

Objective To analyze the results from adopted evaluation of Composite Adaptation of Assistive Devices Program (CAADP) in Shanghai. Methods 1996 potential adaptation objects were evaluated by professional assessment panel with the questionnaire developed by our research group in the early. Results and Conclusion Physical disabilities were the majority. 97.69% of the objects needed different assistance from others or aids in their daily lives, with low quality of life. The assistive devices recommended were an average of 4.3 per person with complete species.
