Objective:To investigate the characteristics of gut microbiota in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) complicated by nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:A total of 74 patients first diagnosed with T2DM at the Endocrinology Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from April 2021 to October 2023 were included. Among them, 28 patients had concurrent NAFLD while 46 patients did not. Additionally, 51 healthy controls were matched (HC group). Clinical laboratory parameters were collected, and 16S rRNA sequencing with fecal samples was conducted to compare the differences in gut microbiota across the groups.Results:Compared to the group with T2DM, patients with concurrent T2DM and NAFLD were younger, had higher level of insulin resistance as assessed by the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, higher body mass index (BMI), and higher triglyceride levels. There was no difference in α-diversity across the three groups ( P>0.05), while there was a significant difference in β-diversity ( P=0.03). The Eubacterium coprostanoligenes, Fusicatenibacter, Parasutterella and Tyzzerella 3 were enriched in the group with concurrent T2DM and NAFLD as shown by the relative abundance, while the relative abundance of Flavonifractor was decreased in this group. Tyzzerella 3 abundance was positively correlated with triglyceride and albumin levels and negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Conclusion:Patients with T2DM complicated by NAFLD exhibit dysbiosis in gut microbiota composition and specific genera abundance, with Flavonifractor identified as a potential protective factor for T2DM complicated by NAFLD.

Chest trauma is one of the most common injuries. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) as a common complication of chest trauma seriously affects the quality of patients′ life and even leads to death. Although there are some consensus and guidelines on the prevention and treatment of VTE at home and abroad, the current literatures lack specificity considering the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of VTE in patients with chest trauma have their own characteristics, especially for those with blunt trauma. Accordingly, China Chest Injury Research Society and editorial board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology organized relevant domestic experts to jointly formulate the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of chest trauma venous thromboembolism associated with chest trauma (2022 version). This consensus provides expert recommendations of different levels as academic guidance in terms of the characteristics, clinical manifestations, risk assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of chest trauma-related VTE, so as to offer a reference for clinical application.

Focusing on the requirements of visual traceability for reprocessing of reused medical devices under the background of deep integration of intelligent medical treatment, a quality and safety traceability system for disinfection of reused medical devices is developed. The multi-dimensional data of the reprocessing chain of reusable medical devices are acquired in real time by the RFID mobile terminal handset and stored temporarily. The data package is formatted based on LoRa protocol and uploaded to the management and control platform in multi-threaded transmission mode for in-depth analysis and traceability. The corresponding prototype system is developed. The first-line operation and maintenance test results show that the prototype system has strong cooperation, strong operation robustness, and obvious advantages in the identification rate and other layers of sterile equipment package.

Objective:To analyze and compare the detection level and actual detection of suspected occupational diseases of lead exposed workers in the network report of occupational disease and occupational health information monitoring system, so as to provide a basis for formulating and improving relevant laws and regulations on occupational disease monitoring in the future.Methods:From January 2016 to December 2018, the network report occupational health examination data of lead exposed workers in Jiangsu Province were selected, the network report detection rate of suspected occupational diseases of lead exposed workers was counted and compared with the actual detection rate judged in the early stage, and the distribution characteristics of the network report detection rate of different years, regions and occupational health examination institutions and the reasons for the difference with the actual detection rate were analyzed.Results:Network report detection rate of suspected occupational disease in Jiangsu Province from 2016 to 2018 (0.042%, 30/71810) was significantly lower than the actual detection rate of 1.12% (805/71810) , and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=723.518, P<0.01) . The network report detection rates of suspected occupational chronic lead poisoning showed an increasing trend year by year, and the difference were statistically significant (χ 2trend=7.627, P<0.01) . All the 30 network report cases were male, and 28 cases (93.33%) were from small and medium-sized enterprises. Among the 805 cases of suspected occupational chronic lead poisoning, 689 cases (85.59%) came from small and medium-sized enterprises. The three cities with more cases were Huai'an 222 cases (27.58%) , Suzhou 208 cases (25.84%) and Changzhou 138 cases (17.14%) . Compared with the actual detection, the number of network reports in Yangzhou accounted for 85.29% (29/34) of the actual detection from 2016 to 2018, that in Suqian accounted for 10.00% (1/10) , and that in other prefecture level cities was 0. From 2016 to 2018, 46.22% (33191/71810) of the occupational health examinations of lead exposed workers were undertaken by Centers for Disease Control and prevention at all levels (referred to as "CDC") . The 30 suspected cases of occupational chronic lead poisoning reported network came from CDC, accounting for 4.89% (30/614) of the actual detection, and the rest were 0. Conclusion:There are great differences between the network report and the actual detection rate of suspected occupational chronic lead poisoning among lead exposed workers, mainly due to the differences in the judgment level of suspected occupational diseases in different regions, the nature of institutions and the level of professional technicians.

Occupational disease diagnosis standards are an important basis for occupational disease diagnosis, occupational health surveillance, occupational health supervision, occupational disease treatment, occupational disease disability assessment, and handling of occupational disease diagnosis disputes in conjunction with the "Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China". With the successive promulgation of the "Standardization Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Administrative Measures on Health Standards", the establishment of a mandatory standard implementation evaluation mechanism has gradually been paid attention to. However, there is still a lack of systematic research on the evaluation of diagnostic criteria for occupational diseases. Therefore, this article combines the current status of the diagnostic standards for occupational diseases in China, and proposes reasonable suggestions on how to carry out the evaluation of the implementation of this type of standard in terms of evaluation methods and content.

Gegen Qinlian Decoction (GQD), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, has long been used for the treatment of common metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, the main limitation of its wider application is ingredient complexity of this formula. Thus, it is critically important to identify the major active ingredients of GQD and to illustrate mecha-nisms underlying its action. Here, we compared the effects of GQD and berberine, a hypothetical key active pharmaceutical ingredient of GQD, on a diabetic rat model by comprehensive analyses of gut microbiota, short-chain fatty acids, proinflammatory cytokines, and ileum transcriptomics. Our results show that berberine and GQD had similar effects on lowering blood glucose levels, modulating gut microbiota, inducing ileal gene expression, as well as relieving systemic and local inflammation. As expected, both berberine and GQD treatment significantly altered the overall gut microbiota structure and enriched many butyrate-producing bacteria, including Faecalibacterium and Roseburia, thereby attenuating intestinal inflammation and lowering glucose. Levels of short-chain fatty acids in rat feces were also significantly elevated after treatment with ber-berine or GQD. Moreover, concentration of serum proinflammatory cytokines and expression of immune-related genes, including Nfkb1, Stat1, and Ifnrg1, in pancreatic islets were significantly reduced after treatment. Our study demonstrates that the main effects of GQD can be attributed to berberine via modulating gut microbiota. The strategy employed would facilitate further stan-dardization and widespread application of TCM in many diseases.

Objective To understand the physical activity of early stage pregnant women and explore its influential factors. Methods From June 2015 to June 2016, 2122 pregnant women with early pregnancy card in Ma An Shan Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected and surveyed with a questionnaire. The Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to understand the physical activity of pregnant women in their early pregnancy. Analysis of variance and t-test were used to describe the distribution of energy expenditures of physical activity of pregnant women with different demographic characteristics, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the factors influencing the energy expenditure of their physical activity. Result The duration of activities of sleep and sitting type was (16.56 ± 3.54) h, accounting for 83.38％of total activity time;the energy consumption value was (17.17±5.59) METs·h;mild physical activity time was (2.62±1.86) h, accounting for total time. 13.19％and the energy consumption value was (6.06±4.43) METs·h;the average time of moderate to severe physical activity was (0.68±0.93) h, accounting for 3.42％of total physical activity time, and the energy consumption value was (3.22±4.58) METs·h. In the univariate analysis, the energy expenditures of physical activity between the different groups (t=-3.551), education level (F=1.347), and occupation type (F=1.485) were different, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In multiple linear regression analysis, different occupational types and education were the energy expenditure levels of physical activity during early pregnancy. Influencing factors (P<0.05). Conclusion Pregnant women have longer periods of sleep and meditation during the first trimester, and shorter duration of physical activity than mild and above;the energy expenditure of physical activity during the first trimester of pregnancy is affected by the occupational type and educational level of the pregnant woman.

Objective To study whether SGK1 is involved in the phenotypic transformation in adventitial fibroblasts (AF).Methods Vascular AF were separated from the thoracic aortas of SD rats.The AF not stimulated with TGF-β1 were divided into blank group,control group 1 and control group 2.The AF induced with 2.5,5.0,10.0 and 15.0 ng/ml TGF-β1 were divided into groups A-D.The AF pretreated with 50 μmol/1 EMD638683 and SB203580 were divided into inhibitor group 1 and inhibitor group 2.The AF stimulated with 5 ng/ml TGF-β1 were divided into stimulation group 1 and stimulation group 2.The expression of SGK1,α-SMA and collagen Ⅰ was detected by Western blot.Results The expression of SGK1 was significantly higher in groups AC than in blank group.The expression of α-SMA was significantly higher in groups B-D than in controlgroup (P＜0.05).The α-SMA and collage Ⅰ expression levels were significantly higher in stimulation group 1 than in control group 1,and were significantly lower in inhibitor group 1 than in stimulation group 1 (P＜0.05).The SGK1 expression level was significantly higher in stimulation group 2 than in control group 2 and was significantly lower in inhibitor group 2 than in stimulation group 2 (P＜0.05).Conclusion SGK1 participates in TGF-β1-induced phenotypic transformation via p38 MAPK and is thus involved in vascular remodeling.
