Objective:We conducted a quality analysis and a survey of current situation of portable blood glucose meters from hospitals and patient sources in Zhejiang Province..Methods:The study is a retrospective cross-sectional study that included 252 portable blood glucose meters, of which 35 portable blood glucose meters (4 in provincial hospitals, 29 in municipal hospitals, and 2 in county-level hospitals) selected for the "Zhejiang Province Portable Blood Glucose Meter Flight Quality Control Inspection" project in April 2023, 126 portable blood glucose meters collected for the "Zhejiang Hospital Portable Blood Glucose Meter Whole Hospital Comparison" project in January 2024, and 91 portable blood glucose meters collected from patients in the "Zhejiang Hospital Home Portable Blood Glucose Meter Convenience Service" project from 2021 to 2023. By comparing the blood glucose results with the reference analyzer, evaluate the qualification rate of portable blood glucose meters between hospitals and patients, imported and domestic brands, and analyze the distribution of blood glucose concentration intervals for unqualified portable blood glucose meters. Conduct a survey questionnaire on the use of portable blood glucose meters by patients to analyze their trust in the results, quality control execution rate, comparison awareness rate, and comparison execution rate.Results:The overall qualification rate of portable blood glucose meters in hospitals (95.7%) was higher than that of portable blood glucose meters use by patients (70.3%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=31.94 , P<0.001). Among the unqualified blood glucose meters, the unqualified blood glucose concentration is mainly concentrated in the high concentration range (65.9%). Among imported brands, the qualification rate of blood glucose meters from hospitals(99.3%) is higher than that from patients(74.0%), and the difference is statistically significant ( χ 2=36.97, P<0.001). Meanwhile, 75% of patients fully trust the detection results of the blood glucose meter, but its instrument qualification rate is 69%. The awareness rate of patients regarding the comparison of portable blood glucose meters is 73%, but the execution rate of quality control and standard comparison of portable blood glucose meters by patients is 0. Conclusion:The quality of portable blood glucose meters in Zhejiang Province is uneven, with the highest pass rate for portable blood glucose meters from hospitals. Patients have weak awareness of quality control and comparison of portable blood glucose meters.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transthoracic minimally invasive occlusion operation for the treatment of congenital atrial and ventricular septal defects. Methods The clinical data of 88 patients who underwent surgical occlusion operation from December 2015 to February 2017 were summarized. There were 52 males and 36 females, aged 6.8±7.5 years ranging from 1.6 to 24.0 years. All the patients were followed up by ultrasound and electrocardiogram at postoperative 3, 6 and 12 months. The efficacy of minimally invasive thoracotomy was analyzed by statistical methods. Results The patients were followed up for 3-15 (6.8±2.3) months, and the follow-up rate was 92.0%. Ultrasound showed occluder fixed well and no residual shunt, valve regurgitation, thrombosis or other complications occurred. The heart was reduced, the ejection fraction was greater than 55%, and heart function rating for all patients was grade Ⅰ. Conclusion Transthoracic mini-invasive surgical occlusion of atrial and ventricular septal defects is safe and effective. The short and middle-term effect is satisfying. It can be widely used in clinical, but multi-center and long-term follow-up and assessment still need to be carried out.

Objective:To explore the prognostic value of CysC and NT‐proBNP in patients with non‐ST elevation a‐cute coronary syndrome (NSTE‐ACS) .Methods :A total of 166 NSTE‐ACS patients hospitalized in our hospital from Jan 2012 to Dec 2012 were selected .They were followed up for 12 months ,then general data ,levels of CysC , NT‐proBNP ,hsCRP and cTnI etc .and incidence rate of MACE were recorded and measured .According to MACE occurrence during follow‐up or not ,156 cases were divided into non‐MACE group (n=137) and MACE group (n=19) ,risk factors for MACE in NSTE‐ACS patients were analyzed ,receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) was performed ,and the optimal cutoffs of related indexes predicting MACE occurrence in these patients were analyzed . Results :Compared with non‐MACE group ,there were significant rise in age [ (60.26 ± 10.45) years vs .(64.16 ± 11.21) years] ,levels of CysC [ (1.02 ± 0.11) mg/L vs .(1.15 ± 0.12) mg/L] ,NT‐proBNP [ (251.97 ± 89.65) pg/ml vs .(347.93 ± 107.29) pg/ml] ,hsCRP [ (14.69 ± 3.53) mg/L vs .(17.13 ± 3.68) mg/L] and cTnI [ (0.36 ± 0.46) ng/ml vs .(0.90 ± 0.88) ng/ml] in MACE group ,P<0.05 or <0.01. Multi‐factor regression analysis indica‐ted that CysC ,NT‐proBNP and cTnI levels were independent predictors for MACE in NSTE‐ACS patients ( P<0.05 or <0.01) .ROC curves of CysC ,NT‐proBNP ,cTnI and hsCRP judging prognosis were drawn , only AUC of CysC and NT‐proBNP curves were >0.7 [CysC:0.784 ,95% CI:0.687~0.881 ;NT‐proBNP:0.753 ,95% CI :0.639~0.867] , and it′s analysis indicated that CysC=1.07 mg/L and NT‐proBNP=279.60 pg/ml were their optimal cutoff predicting MACE .Kaplan‐Meier survival curves with above two cutoffs as risk stratification cutoff indicated that survival time of high risk group was significantly shorter than that of low risk group (P<0.05) .Conclusion:Serum CysC and NT‐proBNP levels are independent predictors assessing prognosis in NSTE‐ACS patients .
