Objective:To develop a nomogram model for screening of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a community population.Methods:From October to December, 2020, 6 028 community residents who participated in the " national health physical examination" in Karamay community with complete physical examination data and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected. The physical examination data included medical history, physical examination, laboratory, and ultrasound reports. Random segmentation sampling was used to divide the population into modeling and validation cohorts, and LASSO regression analysis was used to screen for independent factors associated with diabetes diagnosis. The independent influencing factors were furthor incorporated into the multi-factor logistic regression, and the RMS software package was used to construct the column chart. The area under receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to measure the differentiation of the model. The calibration curve can directly reflect the calibration degree of the model.Results:In the modeling group, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, gender(female), history of hypertension, history of hyperlipidemia, HbA 1C, urinary microalbumin, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance, and triglycerides and glucose index were independently associated with diabetes. OR were 1.053(95% CI 1.038-1.069), 0.681(95% CI 0.512-0.906), 1.802(95% CI 1.227-2.626), 1.789(95% CI 1.303-2.448), 10.973(95% CI 8.318-14.745), 1.002(95% CI 1.001-1.004), 2.914(95% CI 2.248-3.799), and 2.673(95% CI 2.03-3.536), respectively. The areas under ROC curves of the training set and the validation set were 0.945 and 0.955, respectively. The optimal critical value in the ROC curve was 0.178(sensitivity 0.930, specificity 0.839) in the training set and 0.201(sensitivity 0.945, specificity 0.848) in the validation set. Conclusion:The screening model of type 2 diabetes developed in this study has good accuracy, which can be used as a screening tool for high-risk population of type 2 diabetes.

Objective:
To observe the effects of axial vascular network flap of scalp or anterolateral thigh perforator flap with fascia lata on repairing defects after radical resection of scalp carcinoma in patients.
Methods:
From February 2006 to December 2015, twenty-one patients with scalp carcinoma were admitted to our hospital, and the carcinoma invaded external lamina or full-thickness of skull and dura mater. After perfect preoperative examination, carcinoma and scalp tissue in 3 to 5 cm from the edge of carcinoma, external lamina or full-thickness of skull and invaded dura mater were resected and sentinel lymph nodes around carcinoma were cleaned in 3 to 4 days after admission. The postoperative defects with size reached from 11 cm×8 cm to 22 cm×18 cm. The flap transplantation was performed at the same time when quick frozen pathological examination results of resected scalp carcinoma margin tissue, skull, dura mater margin and basal tissue, and sentinel lymph nodes showed completely negative. Defects in 3 elderly patients were repaired by single or multiple axial scalp vascular network flaps, with the resected flaps size ranged from 12 cm×7 cm to 19 cm×14 cm. Defects in the other 18 patients were repaired by anterolateral thigh perforator flaps with fascia lata, with the resected flaps size ranged from 13 cm×10 cm to 23 cm×19 cm and the resected fascia lata size ranged from 8 cm×7 cm to 10 cm×10 cm. The head donor site of flap was repaired by medium thickness skin of head and back; the thigh donor site of flap was repaired by medium thickness skin of thigh on the same side. All patients gave up postoperative radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and other follow-up treatments.
Results:
After operation, the flap and skin in all patients survived completely, with no vascular crisis or other condition. During the follow-up for 6 months to 9 years, all patients showed good appearance except for baldness in operation area of head, with no obvious malformation in head donor site of flap and skin, no swollen external hernia in the brain tissue, and no local recurrence or distant metastasis of carcinoma. The appearance of thigh donor site of flap and skin was good, with normal muscle strength and movement of lower limbs.
Conclusions
Patients with scalp carcinoma were performed with radical resection of carcinoma, and axial vascular network flap of scalp or anterolateral thigh perforator flap with fascia lata were applied to repair the postoperative defects, with good appearance of head operation area and no local recurrence or distant metastasis of carcinoma.

BACKGROUND:Artificial cornea titanium scaffold has a higher complication rate in clinical usage; therefore, to seek a kind of artificial corneal scaffold with high biocompatibility is a hot spot.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the biocompatibility of the artificial cornea titanium scaffold with hydroxyapatite surface modification.
METHODS: Twenty-seven New Zealand white rabbits were enroled to make alkali burn models of the right cornea and then randomized into three groups: in experimental group, artificial cornea titanium scaffold with hydroxyapatite surface modification was implanted into the right eye; in control group, artificial cornea titanium scaffold was implanted into the right eye; in blank group, no scaffold was implanted into the right eye. At 2, 4, 16 weeks after implantation, the right corneas were taken out for pathological observation and scanning electron microscope observation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 16 weeks after implantation, there was no difference in the number of inflammatory cels and fibroblasts among the three groups. Over time, in the experimental group, the corneal tissues, fibrous tissues and adhered extracelular matrices were increased gradualy. In addition, the experimental group had more adherent corneal tissues, extracelular matrices and better tissue healing than the control and blank groups. These findings indicate that the artificial cornea titanium scaffold with hydroxyapatite surface modification had good biocompatibility that can effectively promote proliferation of corneal cels and corneal vascularization.
