Objective To investigate the impact of dietary protein intake on the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in adult residents, and to provide a reference for formulating diabetes prevention and control measures. Methods The research was based on cross-sectional survey data from the Nutrition and Health Follow-up Study of Chinese Residents in Chongqing (2021). Energy and nutrient intake was calculated in combination with the Chinese food composition table. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between dietary protein and diabetes, and then restricted cubic spline regression (RCS) was used to analyze the dose-response relationship between dietary protein intake and the development of diabetes. Results Among the 1 415 adult residents, dietary intake of total protein, animal protein, and plant protein was 69.69g/d, 26.26g/d, and 43.43g/d, respectively. The ratio of protein to energy supply was 14.31%, and the prevalence of diabetes was 18.02%. Comparing with the residents in the first percentile of total dietary protein intake, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratios of those in the second and third percentile were 1.754 and 2.453 respectively. Comparing the residents in the third percentile with those in the first percentile, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratios of diabetes were 1.592 for protein energy supply ratio, and 1.558 for animal protein intake. Conclusion High protein intake, high protein energy supply ratio and high animal protein intake may increase the risk of diabetes, and different types of protein may have different effects on diabetes.

This study aims to investigate the effects of astragalus polysaccharide (APS) on diabetic retinopathy through the SHH-Gli1-AQP1 pathway. The anti-type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) targets of APS were identified through comprehensive searches of drug and disease-related databases. A protein-protein interaction network was then constructed, followed by GO and KEGG enrichment analyses.Molecular docking simulations were performed to evaluate the interactions of APS and metformin with Gli1 and AQP1. An in vivo T2DM rat model was established via streptozotocin (STZ) injection and treated with metformin and varying doses of APS for 12 weeks. Histological changes in retinal cells were assessed using H&E and PAS staining. The expression levels of AQP1, Gli1, and SHH in the retina were measured using immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and ELISA. Additionally, mRNA expression of AQP1, Gli1, and SHH was quantified by RT-qPCR. Bioinformatic analyses indicated that Gli1 and AQP1, key components of the SHH-Gli1-AQP1 signaling pathway, may be associated with T2DM. Subsequent experiments demonstrated that the STZ-induced T2DM rats exhibited significant retinal damage, which was notably mitigated by both APS and metformin treatments. Furthermore, the SHH-Gli1-AQP1 signaling pathway was found to be overactivated in STZ-induced T2DM rats. Treatment with APS and metformin significantly reduced the elevated expression levels of SHH, Gli1, and AQP1. APS effectively inhibits retinal damage of STZinduced T2DM rats by restraining the SHH-Gli1-AQP1 signaling pathway.

AIM: To explore the efficacy of bilateral lateral rectus recession in the treatment of basic intermittent exotropia. METHODS: A prospective study was conducted on 104 patients with basic intermittent strabismus admitted to our hospital from October 2022 to October 2023, patients were randomly divided into a study group of 52 cases and a control group of 52 cases using a random number ranking method. The control group received unilateral recess-resect, while the study group received bilateral lateral rectus recession, the differences in surgical success rate, postoperative strabismus, and postoperative exotropia drift were compared between two groups.RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups at 1 d, 1, 3, and 6 mo after surgery(all P>0.05). The strabismus in the 6 m and 33 cm eye positions at 1, 3, and 6 mo after surgery were lower than those at 1 d after surgery(all P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the strabismus in the 6 m and 33 cm eye positions between the two groups at 1 d, 1, 3, and 6 mo after surgery(all P>0.05), and there was statistical significant difference between the two groups in exotropia drift at different postoperative time points(all P<0.05). The exotropia drift of both groups increased at 3 and 6 mo after surgery compared to 1 mo after surgery, and the exotropia drift at 6 mo after surgery was greater than that at 3 mo after surgery(all P<0.05). However, the exotropia drift of the study group at 3 and 6 mo after surgery was lower than that of the control group(all P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Bilateral lateral rectus recession for the treatment of basic-type intermittent exotropia effectively reduces the amount of postoperative exotropia drift, and it has better long-term stability.

Objective It constructs a new culture index system for high-quality development of public hospitals to provide scientific tool for evaluating the level of new culture construction of public hospitals and promoting high-quali-ty development.Methods A pool of indicators was established based on policy combing and literature research.Then,an indicator system was formed through Delphi expert consultation and demonstration,and weighting coefficients were assigned using the hierarchical analysis method.Results The indicator system of the new culture in public hospi-tals contains four primary indicators,eight secondary indicators and 23 specific entries.The four primary indicators are hospital culture system construction,strengthening the orientation of patients'needs,caring for medical staff and distinctive hospital culture.The effectiveness of implementation as an additional dimension contains two secondary indicators and eight specific entries.The weights of the primary indicators are balanced.Among the sec-ondary indicators,institutional planning(0.250),staff care(0.170),medical services(0.130),discipline branding(0.125)and professionalism(0.125)have higher weights.Conclusion The new culture index system for high-quality development of public hospitals is in line with Xi Jinping's cultural thought and the requirements of the new culture for high-quality development of public hospitals.It needs to pay attention to the planning of the cultural system,em-phasises the care of employees and the cultivation of professionalism,and focuses on the construction of medical services and disciplinary brands,so as to promote the construction of the new culture in public hospitals in line with the requirements of the national strategies.

Objective Using the indicator system to objectively evaluate the content and effectiveness of the new culture construction in typical public hospitals,so as to identify problems and put forward suggestions for improve-ment.Methods Applying the new culture index system for the high-quality development of public hospitals con-structed by the research group,it quantitatively evaluated the practice of new culture construction in a tertiary hospi-tal in Shanghai.Results It found that the main body of the hospital's new culture construction scored 98.9 points.The 2 dimensions of hospital culture system construction and carrying out effectiveness(additional indicators)were all full scores.In addition,the dimension of caring for medical staff was 24.8 points,the dimension of strengthening pa-tient demand orientation was 24.6 points,and the dimension of distinctive hospital culture was 24.5 points.There are still deficiencies in the dimensions of the post-diagnosis experience of patients,the cultivation of health habits of staff,and the transformation of scientific research.Conclusion The hospital has taken advantage of the top-level de-sign of cultural construction under the leadership of the Party Committee and has improved the relevant systems.The hospital also focuses on several special cultural projects such as cultural heritage,employee care,optimization of ac-cess to medical care,and popularisation of scientific brands.It propose to promote the high-quality development of the hospital's new culture by carrying out Internet medical care,organizing special staff activities,strengthening the guidance of scientific research policies,and increasing the financial support for projects.

Objective It developed and tested the reliability and validity of the Hospital Culture Perception and Experi-ence Scale for medical staff to provide a scientific tool for assessing medical staff's perceptions and experiences of hospital culture.Methods The scale was constructed with reference to the Dennison model of organisational culture and refined based on policy documents,literature and expert consultation.A hospital was selected to conduct the questionnaire survey.It used item analysis,factor analysis,and Cronbach's α to test scale reliability and validity.Results The total scale contains 43 entries in 4 subscales:institutional initiatives,practitioner perception,manage-ment training and mission commitment.Item analysis results showed that the scale had good differentiation;the Cronbach's αof the total scale was 0.992,and the Spearman-Brown was 0.979,with good reliability.Exploratory factor analysis results suggested that the institutional initiative,practitioner perception,and management training sub-scales had only 1 dimension,with a variance contribution rate of 77.12％,76.33％,and 85.75％,respectively.For the mission subscale,2 male factors were extracted,with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 91.34％.The factor loadings were all greater than 0.4.The validation factor analysis results shows that the model fit is good.The AVE of each subscale and dimension is greater than 0.5,and the CR is greater than 0.7,which indicates that the convergent validity is good.Conclusion The scale has good reliability and validity,and can be used to quantitatively as-sess the medical staff's perception and sense of experience of hospital culture.
