Objectives:There is a lack of long-term follow-up study results on severe microvascular complications in a larger Chinese population with diabetes.This study aims to explore long-term impact of newly diagnosed diabetes(NDD)on the incidence and risk of severe microvascular complications.Methods:A total of 598 NDD and 493 normal glucose tolerance(NGT)subjects were included in this study in 1986.By questionnaire and systematic case review,the occurrence of severe microvascular complications,including severe diabetic retinopathy,severe diabetic nephropathy,and severe diabetic neuropathy,was followed up and collected over a period of 34 years.Results:The cumulative incidence of severe microvascular complications in the NDD population was 65.03%(95%CI:58.90%-70.48%)over 34 years,significantly higher than that in the NGT population(16.8%,95%CI:12.64%-20.11%).After adjusting for related risk factors,the risk of severe microvascular complications in the NDD population was 7.08 times than that of the NGT population(HR=7.08,95%CI:5.09-9.84,P<0.0001).Stratified analysis by sex showed that the cumulative incidence and risk of severe microvascular complications were slightly higher in male NDD population(68.02%,95%CI:57.27%-76.61%;HR=9.45,95%CI:5.78-15.47,P<0.0001)than in female NDD population(63.37%,95%CI:55.69%-70.09%;HR=5.86,95%CI:3.75-9.16,P<0.0001);however,the cumulative incidence increased more rapidly in women during the follow-up period of 10-25 years.Conclusions:The incidence and risk of severe microvascular complications in diabetes were significantly higher than those in the NGT population;and the incidence of severe vascular complications increased rapidly after the duration of diabetes exceeded 10 years,indicating that strict control of blood glucose in the early stage of diabetes is of vital importance.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of Methotrexate （MTX） injection combined with Mifepristone tablets in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy. METHODS A retrospective cohort study method was used to collect data on patients with ectopic pregnancy who visited the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University from January 1， 2013 to December 31， 2021. Control group was given MTX injection alone， and exposure group was given MTX injection combined with Mifepristone tablets. Baseline variables were balanced between the two groups using a propensity score matching （PSM）， and the outcomes of the matched cohorts were compared. RESULTS A total of 125 patients were included， involving 68 in the control group and 57 in the exposure group. After PSM， 46 cases in each group were successfully matched. There was no significant difference in the treatment response rate and the incidence of adverse drug reaction （ADR） between the exposure group and the control group， which were 73.91% and 63.04%， 21.74% and 13.04% （P＞0.05）. Compared with before treatment， serum levels of β-HCG were all significantly decreased in 2 groups after treatment （P＜0.05）； there was no significant difference in the serum level of β-HCG after treatment， the time to return to normal， the interval time of second pregnancy， second ectopic pregnancy and second intrauterine pregnancy between 2 groups （P＞0.05）. The mean diameter difference of B-ultrasound pregnancy mass before and after treatment， duration of clinical symptom remission and length of hospital stay in the exposure group were significantly higher than those in the control group （P＜ 0.05）， but drug costs during hospitalization and total hospitalization costs were not significantly increased （P＞0.05）. There were no significant difference between single-dose group and multi-dose group of MTX in the treatment response rate and the incidence of ADR （P＞0.05）. The hospitalization time， drug cost and total cost of the single dose group were significantly less than those of the multi-dose group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS MTX injection combined with or without Mifepristone tablet can both effectively treat ectopic pregnancy， with comparable efficacy and safety. MTX single-dose regimen is similar to the multi-dose regimen in efficacy， but the multi-dose regimen increases the hospital stay and hospitalization costs.

Objective To understand the situation of the incidence of peripheral vascular complications after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in elderly patients with coronary heart disease , and to explore its related factors.Methods One hundred and three elderly patients with coronary heart disease after PCI were chosen according to the convenient sampling through the cross-sectional study , and were surveyed by the self-designed demographic tables and disease-related tables, and the data were collected and analyzed .Results The incidence of peripheral vascular complications was 21.4% in the elderly patients with coronary heart disease after PCI, and the incidence of local oozing bleeding was the most (13.6%), followed by 4.9% of the hematoma, 2.9% of subcutaneous ecchymosis around puncture point , 2.9% of forearm swelling.The occurrence of peripheral vascular complications was different in the patients with different age , marital status, combined with hyperlipidemia , puncture site , surgical time , duration of surgery , number of diseased vessels , the use of heparin during operation , postoperative use of Tirofiban and Plavix , and the differences were statistically significant ( P <0.05 ) .Logistic regression analysis showed that the related factors of peripheral vascular complications after PCI included the marital status , puncture site , number of diseased vessels , intraoperative use of heparin , postoperative use of Tirofiban and Plavix .Conclusions The patients with older , non-marriage, emergency surgery , long time of surgery , puncture through the femoral artery , many diseased vessels, severe anterior descending artery stenosis , intraoperative use of large heparin , postoperative use of Tirofiban and Plavix are more susceptible to peripheral vascular complications , which suggests that we should put these patients as the focus of nursing in the future work .

Objectives To study the relationship between hope and quality of life(QOL)in nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) patients undergoing radiotherapy(RT). Methods One hundred and ten NPC patients undergoing radiotherapy participated in the investigation by the Herth Hope Index(HHI)and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-head and neck scale(FACT-H&N),to look into the correlations between their hope and QOL.Result The scores on hope and NPC for the QOL patients during radiotherapy were(34.80±2.64)and(91.34±13.19),respectively and they were positively correlated(r=0.253,P<0.01). Conclusions The hope of the NPC patients is at the medium level.Their hope is positively correlated with QOL.The higher level the hope is,the higher the QOL.

Objective To evaluate the clinical diagnosis and treatment of acute renal infarction.Methods Two cases (3 sides) of acute renal infarction were reported.The patients were 1 male and 1 female,with the age of 62 and 54 years.Case 1 presented acute left flank pain,and enhanced CT showed a non-enhanced area in the upper and mid pole of the left kidney.The diagnosis of focal renal infarction was made and treated with low-molecular heparin (6000 U ).Case 2 presented acute both right abdominal and flank pain,and enhanced CT showed right renal artery embolism and right renal complete infarction.Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and catheter thrombolytic therapy was applied.4 months later,the patient presented acute left flank pain,and enhanced CT showed a low density area in left kidney without enhanced by contrast,and DSA and catheter thrombolytic therapy was applied again.Results In case 1,contrastenhanced MRI showed a still low signal area like enhanced CT after 2 days of treatment.The renal function remained normal in the follow-up of 36 months.In case 2,the right kidney resorted to moderate blood flow but became atrophy later.In the follow-up of 4 months,a recurrent focal infarction was confirmed in left kidney by enhanced CT.The left kidney also resorted to moderate bloodflow after DSA and catheter thrombolytic therapy.The renal function became normal after follow-up of 10 months and no new infarction was observed.Conclusions The diagnosis of acute renal infraction could be made by enhanced CT or MRI.Early diagnosis and location of the infraction renal artery is critical for recovery of the impaired renal function.Acute renal infraction should be suspected in patients with unexplained persistent and steady flank or abdominal pain in emergence department.

Objective To describe depression in liver transplant(LT)recipients and explore their coping styles.Methods One hundred transplant recipients were divided into three groups according to the time after LT:one to six months after the operation(group1),six months to one year(group2)and one to three years after the operation(group3).A self-rating depression scale(SDS)was used to measure their depression levels,and a Medical Coping Modes questionnaire(MCMQ)Was used to investigate their coping styles.The results were compared with those from a general population,and the relevance of depression symptoms and coping styles was analysed. Results The average SDS score of all the LT recipients was 41.03±7.14(42.90±7.18 for group 1.40.71±7.97 for group 2 and 39.69±6.00 for group 3).The average depression scores of the three groups were all significantly higher than in the normal population,but there was no statistically significant difference among the three groups.The depression scores were negatively correlated with the confrontation aspect of coping style,while positively correlated with avoidance and resignation.Conclusion LT recipients tend to be depressed,and the level of depression is strongly related with their coping styles.
