Objective:To explore the trajectory and influencing factors of dietary adherence at different periods in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so as to provide a reference for dietary management at different periods in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 180 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM who attended Diabetes Clinics in three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province from May 2021 to May 2023 for the study. Patients were surveyed on the day of diagnosis (T1) and at 3 months (T2), 6 months (T3), and 12 months (T4) after diagnosis using General Information Questionnaire, Decisional Balance Scale for Diabetes Diet, Diabetes Distress Scale, Family APGAR Index, and Influence Factors of Dietary Behavior Compliance Scale for Patients with T2DM (T2DM-CFIDBS), respectively. Pearson correlation was used to test the correlation between dietary adherence, diabetes diet decisional balance, diabetes distress, and family care in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors influencing dietary adherence at each time point in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. A total of 180 questionnaires were distributed, and 162 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 90.00% (162/180) .Results:CFIDBS scores of patients with newly diagnosed T2DM at the four time points were (69.14±9.97), (61.98±8.82), (60.09±8.97), and (63.29±9.98), respectively. Body mass index and diabetes distress had an impact on patients' dietary adherence at T1, T2, T3, and T4 ( P<0.05). Perceptual deficits had an impact on dietary adherence at T1, T2, and T3 ( P<0.05). Family care had an impact on dietary adherence at T1 and T2 ( P<0.05). Perceived benefit had an impact on dietary adherence only at the T3 ( P<0.05). Education level and work status only had an impact on dietary adherence at the T4 ( P<0.05). All of these differences were statistically significant. Conclusions:Dietary adherence in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM shows a trend of decreasing and then increasing over time, and there are differences in the influencing factors at different times. Healthcare professionals should pay attention to the trajectory and influencing factors of dietary adherence in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM, and develop targeted interventions to improve patients' dietary adherence and diabetes prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the sero-conversion rate of HIV antibody and influencing factors in cross-border couples in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture(Dehong).Methods:A cohort design was used to recruit HIV-negative people in cross-border couples in Dehong in 2017. Follow-up was conducted in 2023, and questionnaire survey and HIV test were carried out to calculate the sero-conversion rate of HIV antibody. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the influence factors for HIV infections.Results:A total of 36 278 HIV-negative persons in cross-border couples were included in the 2017 baseline survey, of whom 22 438 (61.9%) were tested in follow-up in 2023. The sero-conversion rate between 2017 and 2023 was 0.51% (115/22 438). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that length of marriage <6 years, Jingpo ethnic group, education level of primary school or below, drug use, illegal marriage and HIV infected spouse were the risk factors of HIV infection in male spouses, and length of marriage <6 years, Jingpo ethnic group, illegal marriage and HIV infected spouse were the risk factors in female spouses.Conclusions:The sero-conversion rate of HIV antibody in cross-border couples in Dehong was relatively high. HIV infection was mainly caused by secondary transmission in the couples, and men might also be infected through drug use. It is necessary to strengthen the registration and management of cross-border couples, especially the couples with discordant HIV infection status, and the intervention in drug users to reduce the risk for secondary transmission of HIV in the cross-border couples.

To elucidate the mechanism by which steaming affects the quality of Curcuma kwangsiensis root tubers, methods such as LSCM, RVA, dual-wavelength spectrophotometry, LF-NMR, and LC-MS were employed to qualitatively and quantitatively detect changes in starch gelatinization characteristics, water distribution, and material composition of C. kwangsiensis root tubers under different steaming durations. Based on multivariate statistical analysis, the correlation between differences in gelatinization parameters, water distribution, and terpenoid material composition was investigated. The results indicate that steaming affects both starch gelatinization and water distribution in C. kwangsiensis. During the steaming process, transformations occur between amylose and amylopectin, as well as between semi-bound water and free water. After 60 min of steaming, starch gelatinization and water distribution reached an equilibrium state. The content of amylopectin, the amylose-to-amylopectin ratio, and parameters such as gelatinization temperature, viscosity, breakdown value, and setback value were significantly correlated(P≤0.05). Additionally, the amylose-to-amylopectin ratio was significantly correlated with total free water and total water content(P≤0.05). Steaming induced differences in the material composition of C. kwangsiensis root tubers. Clustering of primary metabolites in the OPLS-DA model was distinct, while secondary metabolites were classified into 9 clusters using the K-means clustering algorithm. Differential terpenoid metabolites such as(-)-α-curcumene were significantly correlated with zerumbone, retinal, and all-trans-retinoic acid(P<0.05). Curcumenol was significantly correlated with isoalantolactone and ursolic acid(P<0.05), while all-trans-retinoic acid was significantly correlated with both zerumbone and retinal(P<0.05). Alpha-tocotrienol exhibited a significant correlation with retinal and all-trans-retinoic acid(P<0.05). Amylose was extremely significantly correlated with(-)-α-curcumene, curcumenol, zerumbone, retinal, all-trans-retinoic acid, and α-tocotrienol(P<0.05). Amylopectin was significantly correlated with zerumbone(P<0.05) and extremely significantly correlated with(-)-α-curcumene, curcumenol, zerumbone, retinal, all-trans-retinoic acid, and 9-cis-retinoic acid(P<0.01). The results provide scientific evidence for elucidating the mechanism of quality formation of steamed C. kwangsiensis root tubers as a medicinal material.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the early changes in various liver function indicators in critically injured trauma patients assessed by intelligent calculation method, aiming to develop more advantageous diagnostic and treatment strategies for traumatic liver injury. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted. Critically injured trauma patients [injury severity score (ISS) ≥ 16, age > 18 years old] admitted to the Emergency Medical Center of Tianjin Fifth Central Hospital from January 1, 2022, to December 1, 2023 were enrolled. ISS score and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) assessed by intelligent calculation method were collected upon patient admission to the emergency medical center. Trends in liver function indicators in fasting venous serum were analyzed at 6, 24 and 72 hours after admission, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), albumin (ALB), total bilirubin (TBil), prothrombin time (PT). Patients were grouped based on APACHE II scores into those with APACHE II < 15 and APACHE II ≤ 15, and liver function indicators within 6 hours of admission were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: A total of 112 critically injured trauma patients were included, with 83 males and 29 females, an average age of (47.78±14.84) years old. The median ISS score was 21.0 (18.0, 26.0). The most common cause of injury for critically injured trauma patients was road traffic accidents (68 cases, accounting for 60.71%), followed by falls from heights, compression injuries, heavy object injuries, knife stabs, and explosion injuries. The most common injured areas was the limbs and pelvis (97 cases, accounting for 86.61%), followed by chest injuries, surface skin and soft tissue injuries, abdominal and pelvic organ injuries, head injuries, and facial injuries. The proportion of elevated LDH, AST, and ALT within 6 hours of admission was 77.68%, 79.46%, and 52.68%, respectively, while the proportion of decreased ALB was 75.89%, the abnormal rates of ALP, GGT, TBil, and PT were all below 50%. The ALT and AST levels of patients at 24 hours and 72 hours after admission were significantly lower than those at 6 hours after admission [ALT (U/L): 37.0 (22.0, 66.0), 31.0 (21.2, 52.0) vs. 41.0 (25.0, 71.0), AST (U/L): 55.5 (30.0, 93.5), 40.0 (27.0, 63.2) vs. 69.5 (39.0, 130.8), all P < 0.05]. There was no statistically significant difference in ISS score between APACHE II > 15 group (45 cases) and APACHE II ≤ 15 group [67 cases; 21.0 (18.5, 26.5) vs. 20.0 (17.0, 22.0), P > 0.05]. Nevertheless, compared with patients with APACHE II ≤ 15, patients with APACHE II > 15 have a higher abnormality rate of ALT and AST within 6 hours of admission [ALT abnormal rate: 66.44% (29/45) vs. 44.78% (30/67), AST abnormal rate: 93.33% (42/45) vs. 70.15% (47/67), both P < 0.05], and the levels of ALT and AST were higher [ALT (U/L): 56.0 (30.0, 121.0) vs. 35.0 (21.0, 69.0), AST (U/L): 87.0 (48.0, 233.0) vs. 52.0 (31.0, 117.0), both P < 0.05]. CONCLUSIONS Severe trauma patients frequently exhibit a high incidence of reversible early liver function impairment. Based on intelligent calculation method, the utilization of both the ISS and APACHE II scores demonstrates a distinct advantage in the assessment of their early liver injury.

BackgroundThe prevalence of depression is elevated in elderly patients with diabetes， underscoring the critical importance of implementing early psychological intervention to improve their clinical outcomes.However， the cognitive function level of patients may limit the implementation of these intervention methods. While prior research has predominantly focused on interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy to mitigate the depressive symptoms in this demographic， the exploration of group reminiscence therapy as a therapeutic approach remains underrepresented in the existing literature. ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of group reminiscence therapy on depressive symptoms， cognitive function， and quality of life in elderly patients with diabetes and mild to moderate depression， so as to provide valuable insights for psychological intervention of elderly diabetic patients. MethodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted to recruit 80 elderly diabetic patients with mild to moderate depression attending the endocrine clinic of Northeast International Hospital from June 2022 to December 2023. Subjects were randomly allocated to either the study group or the control group using the random number table method， with 40 cases in each group. Both groups received standard diabetes care and mental health education. Additionally， the study group participated in an 8-week group reminiscence therapy intervention， convening once weekly for 1.5 hours per session. Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item （HAMD-24）， Wisconsin Card Sorting Test （WCST）， Verbal Fluency Test （VFT）， Stroop Color Word Test （SCWT） and Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 （GQOLI-74） were administered before and after intervention. ResultsAfter intervention， the study group exhibited a significantly lower HAMD-24 score compared with the control group （F=13.908， P<0.01）. The study group also demonstrated better performance in cognitive assessments， as evidenced by increased percentages of correct responses and conceptual-level responses on the WCST， a greater number of correct words on the VFT， and a higher number of accurate responses on the SCWT， all in contrast to the control group （F=14.672， 17.000， 13.309， 21.672， P<0.01）. The study group reported superior quality of life outcomes， with higher total GQOLI-74 scores and significant improvements in the domains of physical function， social function， psychological function， and material life status compared with the control group （F=33.098， 41.224， 16.320， 19.432， P<0.01）. ConclusionGroup reminiscence therapy has the potential to alleviate depressive symptoms， enhance cognitive function and improve quality of life in elderly diabetic patients with mild to moderate depression.

Objective:To analyze the positioning error and the overall setup errors (OSEs) of patients undergoing gamma knife pain-free face mask fractionated treatment for head tumors based on kV orthogonal image guidance.Methods:A total of 58 patients who received image-guided fractionated gamma knife treatment for head tumors with a pain-free face mask at the Gamma Knife Treatment Center of Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital from July 1, 2022 to May 31, 2024 were included in the study. A kV-class orthogonal X-ray IGPS image-guided positioning system was used to collect positioning errors in three translational directions: left-right (X), anterior-posterior (Y), and head-foot (Z), as well as in three rotational directions: left-right (P), anterior-posterior (R), and head-foot ( Y) before correction. After online correction and combined with manual positioning verification, the corrected positioning errors were recalculated. The OSEs in translational and rotational directions were calculated before and after correction. The positioning errors in all six directions (X, Y, Z, P, R, Y) before and after correction were plotted. And the OSE scatter plots in translational and rotational directions were created accordingly. Errors in the six directions and OSEs in translational and rotational directions were compared. The OSEs in translational and rotational directions were analyzed across different age groups and genders. Results:The pre-correction positioning errors in the X, Y, Z, P, R, Y directions for patients were (0.45±1.54) mm, -0.96 (-1.70, -0.28) mm, 1.67 (-0.15, 3.07) mm, (0.70±1.60) °, 0.65 (0.30, 1.19) °, (0.59±0.87) °, and the post-correction positioning errors were (-0.02±0.18) mm, 0.15 (0.10, 0.21) mm, 0.06 (-0.04, 0.16) mm, (0.20±0.79) °, 0.42 (0.19, 0.78) °, (0.20±0.63) °. There were statistically significant differences between before and after correction ( t=2.30, P=0.025; Z=-5.43, P<0.001; Z=-4.10, P<0.001; t=2.56, P=0.013; Z=-3.21, P=0.001; t=3.21, P=0.002). The OSEs in translational (X, Y, Z) and rotational (P, R, Y) directions before correction were 3.07 (1.93, 4.35) mm, 1.90 (1.28, 2.66) °, and the OSEs after correction were 0.27 (0.21, 0.33) mm, 1.08 (0.70, 1.54) °, with statistically significant differences ( Z=-6.60, P<0.001; Z=-5.52, P<0.001). For patients aged 18-44 years, the OSEs in translational (X, Y, Z) and rotational (P, R, Y) directions before and after correction were 3.65 (1.62, 3.95), 0.21 (0.21, 0.31) mm, 3.25 (2.24, 3.96) °, 0.92 (0.59, 1.45) °; for patients aged 45-59 years, the OSEs were 3.57 (2.17, 5.22), 0.29 (0.22, 0.35) mm, 1.89 (1.30, 2.30) °, 1.08 (0.62, 1.51) °; for patients aged 60-74 years, the OSEs were 2.92 (1.74, 4.06), 0.24 (0.19, 0.35) mm, 2.16 (1.09, 2.95) °, 0.98 (0.78, 1.75) °; for patients aged 75-89 years, the OSEs were 3.24 (2.12, 4.37), 0.29 (0.22, 0.47) mm, 1.73 (1.01, 1.83) °, 0.60 (0.47, 1.51) °. There were no statistically significant differences in OSEs of translational and rotational directions before and after correction among the four age groups ( H=1.23, P=0.747; H=1.74, P=0.627; H=7.45, P=0.059; H=2.80, P=0.424). For male patients, the OSEs before and after correction in translational (X, Y, Z) and rotational (P, R, Y) directions were (3.19±1.59), 0.27 (0.27, 0.33) mm, 1.89 (1.27, 2.75) °, (0.84±0.59) °; for female patients, the OSEs were (3.22±1.99), 0.26 (0.25, 0.35) mm, 1.90 (1.34, 2.41) °, (1.04±0.46) °. There were no statistically significant differences in OSEs of translational and rotational directions before and after correction between genders ( t=-0.07, P=0.949; Z=-0.48, P=0.632; Z=-0.02, P=0.161; t=-2.80, P=0.424) . Conclusions:The image-guided system, which is based on the kV orthogonal X-ray stereoscopic imaging, can significantly reduce the positioning errors between fractions of pain-free face mask gamma knife treatment for head tumor patients and improve the positioning accuracy of the gamma knife through the dual verification process of "automatic correction and manual review".
