OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Insulin degludec and liraglutide injection （IDegLira） and Insulin glargine and lixisenatide injection（iGlarLixi） in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus（T2DM）， and provide an evidence-based basis for the clinical treatment of T2DM. METHODS Computerized searches of PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， CNKI， Wanfang data and VIP were conducted with a time frame from the inception to August 2024. Randomized controlled trials（RCTs） were rigorously screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria， from which information was extracted and included studies were evaluated for risk of bias. Network meta-analysis was performed using Stata 14.0 software. RESULTS A total of 15 RCTs， including 9 513 patients， were included， involving four treatment regimens： IDegLira， iGlarLixi， insulin degludec（IDeg）， and insulin glargine（iGlar）. The differences between IDegLira and iGlarLixi were not statistically significant（P＞0.05） for the outcome indexes of glycosylated hemoglobin（HbA1c）， fasting blood glucose， body weight， and the incidence of adverse events（P＞0.05）； for the outcome index of the incidence of hypoglycemic events， IDegLira was significantly superior to iGlarLixi [OR＝0.41，95%CI（0.18，0.91），P＜0.05]. Surface under the cumulative ranking curve（SUCRA） results showed that iGlarLixi（84.5%）＞IDegLira（81.7%） in lowering HbA1c； IDegLira（71.3%）＞iGlarLixi（20.0%） in lowering fasting blood glucose； IDegLira（90.7%）＞iGlarLixi（61.8%） in lowering body weight； IDegLira（95.5%）＞iGlarLixi（9.7%） in reducing the incidence of hypoglycemic events； and IDegLira（27.1%）＞iGlarLixi（14.5%） in reducing the incidence of adverse events. CONCLUSIONS iGlarLixi has better therapeutic efficacy in reducing HbA1c； IDegLira has better therapeutic efficacy in reducing fasting blood glucose and body weight. IDegLira has the lowest risk of hypoglycemia.

Objective To analyze the clinical significance of subjective visual vertical (SVV) tests at different head deflection angles in assessing utricle function in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods A total of 61 BPPV patients who were treated at the Hearing Impairment and Vertigo Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from August 2022 to May 2023 were retrospectively included, and 29 healthy adults were selected as controls. SVV tests were performed on all research subjects at different head deflection angles: upright head (0°), left head 45° (L45°), right head 45° (R45°). The test results between the two groups were compared. Results SVV absolute value at R45° in BPPV group was lower than that in the control group (P＝0.003); there was no significant difference in SVV values at 0° and L45° between the two groups. There was no statistical difference in SVV values at different head deflection angles between the control group and the left BPPV group. SVV absolute value at R45° in right BPPV group was lower than that in the control group (P＜0.001); there was no statistical difference in SVV values at 0° and L45° between the two groups. Conclusions SVV test can provide subjective information about the utricle, and SVV tests at different head deflection angles can fine-tune evaluate the function of the utricle in BPPV patients.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term cost-effectiveness of insulin degludec and insulin aspart （IDegAsp） in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） in China. METHODS A cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted from the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system， using the CORE diabetes model to simulate long-term （20-year） health and economic outcomes. Baseline cohort characteristics and treatment effect data were derived from the CREATE study. The prices of glucose- lowering drugs were obtained from medical insurance payment standards and the average winning bid prices in the follow-up round of the specialized centralized procurement for insulin， while the daily dosages were derived from the CREATE study. The costs of complications and utility values were obtained from published literature， with a discount rate of 5%. One-way sensitivity analysis， scenario analysis， and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were performed to verify the robustness of the results. RESULTS Patients switching from previous once-daily basal insulin regimens to IDegAsp therapy gained an incremental 0.190 quality-adjusted life year （QALY） with direct medical cost savings of 42 163.58 yuan. For those switching from premixed insulin therapies， IDegAsp treatment provided 0.130 incremental QALY and reduced direct healthcare costs by 41 129.11 yuan. The outcome was significantly influenced by the discount rate and the cost of complications. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis confirmed the robustness of these findings. CONCLUSIONS Switching from previous daily basal insulin or premixed insulin regimens to IDegAsp in Chinese patients with T2DM can improve patients’ long-term health outcomes and achieve cost savings， making it a more cost-effective treatment option.

In order to meet the need of autonomous control of patients with severe limb disorders, this paper designs a nursing bed control system based on motor imagery-brain computer interface (MI-BCI). In view of the low decoding performance of cross-subjects and the dynamic fluctuation of cognitive state in the existing MI-BCI technology, the neural network structure optimization and user interaction feedback enhancement are improved. Firstly, the optimized dual-branch graph convolution multi-scale neural network integrates dynamic graph convolution and multi-scale convolution. The average classification accuracy is higher than that of multi-scale attention temporal convolution network, Gram angle field combined with convolution long short term memory hybrid network, Transformer-based graph convolution network and other existing methods. Secondly, a dual visual feedback mechanism is constructed, in which electroencephalogram (EEG) topographic map feedback can improve the discrimination of spatial patterns, and attention state feedback can enhance the temporal stability of signals. Compared with the single EEG topographic map feedback and non-feedback system, the average classification accuracy of the proposed method is also greatly improved. Finally, in the four classification control task of nursing bed, the average control accuracy of the system is 90.84%, and the information transmission rate is 84.78 bits/min. In summary, this paper provides a reliable technical solution for improving the autonomous interaction ability of patients with severe limb disorders, which has important theoretical significance and application value.

Objective: To analyze the results of national external quality assessment (EQA) for transfusion compatibility test from 2018 to 2023, with the aim of providing references for improving laboratory testing quality and ensuring the safety of clinical blood transfusion. Methods: Three EQA programs were conducted annually, each distributing 22 quality assessment samples. Participating transfusion laboratories were required to complete testing within specified deadlines and to submit results along with documentation of testing methodologies, reagents, and equipment used. National Center for Clinical Laboratories (NCCL) conducted statistical analysis of laboratory results, evaluated testing outcomes and related circumstances, and provided feedback to participating laboratories. EQA data from transfusion laboratories across China from 2018 to 2023 were collected and systematically analyzed. Results: From 2018 to 2023, the qualification rates for all five items (ABO forward typing, ABO reverse typing, Rh blood group typing, antibody screening, and cross-matching) were 67.59%, 77.11%, 77.38%, 72.78%, 79.96%, and 85.16%, respectively. The mean qualification rates for ABO forward typing, ABO reverse typing, RhD blood group typing, antibody screening, and cross-matching over the past six years were 96.25%±0.59%, 90.45%±4.52%, 96.05%±0.71%, 90.88%±2.86%, and 88.34%±3.48%, respectively. The qualification rates in 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023 all showed a stable trend of "blood stations>tertiary hospitals>secondary hospitals". The mean qualification rate of laboratories in secondary hospitals from 2018 to 2023 was significantly lower than those of laboratories in tertiary hospitals and blood stations (P<0.05), while no significant difference was observed between laboratories in tertiary hospitals and blood stations (P>0.05). The micro column agglutination method was the most widely used in all five tests. In the four test items, namely ABO forward typing, ABO reverse typing, antibody screening, and cross-matching, there was a statistically significant difference in the qualification rate of micro column agglutination method compared to other methods (P<0.05). There was a statistical difference in the qualification rate between manual and automated detection using micro column agglutination method in the cross-matching tests (P<0.05), whereas no significant difference was noted for the other test items (P>0.05). Conclusion: From 2018 to 2023, the number of laboratories participating in EQA activities has been increasing year by year, and the qualification rate has shown an overall upward trend. The type of laboratory is a key factor affecting the qualification rate, and the testing capabilities of some laboratories still need to be improved. The micro column agglutination method is widely used in transfusion compatibility tests. The established EQA program effectively monitors quality issues in laboratories, drives continuous improvement, and ensures sustained enhancement of testing standards to safeguard clinical blood safety.

Objective: To explore the association between waist circumference and beverage consumption behaviors among junior high school students, so as to provide a theoretical basis for improving their nutritional status. Methods: Using a multi stage cluster random sampling method, 1 611 junior high school students aged 13-15 years from Yushan, Yanshan, Yiyang, and Wannian counties in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, were selected for a survey in September 2021 through questionnaires and waist circumference measurements. Stratified analyses were conducted by sex, t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to compare waist circumference across groups, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied to examine the associations between different types of beverage consumption and waist circumference. Results: Boarding students had significantly greater average waist circumference than day students[boys:(71.86±9.24, 69.69±12.19)cm；girls:(66.53±13.30, 64.63±11.90)cm； t =2.69, 2.08, both P < 0.05 ]. Among boys, waist circumference differed significantly by vigorous physical[vigorous physical:(69.71±9.53)cm; non vigorous exercise:(71.53±12.99)cm]( t=-2.31, P <0.05). Boys waist circumference also differed significantly by consumption frequency (high and medium,low,none) of milk containing beverages[(71.83±7.40, 69.92±9.98, 72.29±13.90)cm], functional beverages[( 73.36± 11.87, 65.97±10.46, 70.71±10.55)cm] and purified water beverages[(69.36±10.87, 71.93±12.15, 71.50±10.09)cm]( F =4.06, 5.93, 4.85, all P <0.05). Girls waist circumference also differed significantly by consumption frequency (high and medium,low,none) of milk containing beverages[(68.81±5.55, 66.59±13.02, 65.36±11.69)cm, F=9.67, P <0.01]. After controlling for the confounding variables, ANCOVA results indicated that the consumption of milk containing beverages, functional beverages and Purified water beverages were significantly associated with waist circumference of boys ( F =3.79, 5.26, 5.08, all P < 0.05 ). Milk containing beverages were significantly associated with waist circumference of girls ( F=4.17, P <0.05). Conclusion The consumption frequency of milk containing beverages and functional beverages by junior high school students is positively correlated with their waist circumference.

Objective:To investigate the ultrasonographic features of medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTCs) of different sizes and supply valid information for separating MTCs from papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs).Methods:There were 87 patients with MTC and 220 patients with PTC detected by ultrasonography and confirmed by pathology at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from June 2018 to March 2022. Nodules were divided into the large nodule group (the maximum diameter of the tumor was＞1 cm) and the small nodule group (the maximum diameter of the tumor was ≤1 cm). There were 97 cases in the small nodule group, including 28 cases of MTC and 69 cases of PTC. There were 210 cases in the large nodule group, including 59 cases of MTC and 151 cases of PTC. After stratification by thyroid nodules, ultrasonographic features of thyroid nodules and metastatic lymph nodes, preoperative serum calcitonin (CT) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were compared between MTC and PTC patients.Results:In the small nodule group, the proportion of MTCs exhibiting hypoecho, smooth margins, and having blood flow signals was higher than that of PTCs, with statistically significant differences (all P＜0.05). In the large nodule group, the proportion of MTCs showing cystic solidity, hypoecho, smooth margins, blood flow, and the type Ⅳvascular distribution was higher than PTCs, and the difference of calcification type between them was also statistically significant (all P＜0.05). In contrast, the differences in the number of lesions and aspect ratio between MTCs and PTCs were not statistically significant regardless of nodule size (all P＞0.05). In the small nodule group,6 metastatic lymph nodes of medullary thyroid carcinoma (LNM-MTC) and 11 metastatic lymph nodes of papillary thyroid carcinoma (LNM-PTC) were correctly diagnosed by ultrasound, respectively. The diagnostic compliance rate of ultrasound was 78.6% (22/28) and 78.3% (54/69), respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.973). In the large nodule group, 28 LNM-MTC and 11 LNM-PTC were correctly diagnosed by ultrasound, respectively. The diagnostic compliance of ultrasound was 88.1% (52/59) and 73.5% (111/151), respectively, which was statistically significant ( P=0.022). Among them, 82.1% of LNM-MTC and 56.6% of LNM-PTC showed abnormal blood flow signals, with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.016). There were significant differences in preoperative serum CT and CEA levels of different sizes of MTCs (all P＜0.05). Conclusions:Different sizes of MTCs require diverse demonstrative criteria. Abnormal blood flow signal is of great significance in the diagnosis of LNM-MTC. Within the absence of ultrasonic characteristics, preoperative serum CT test can provide confidence for the diagnosis of MTC.

The regulation of the cell cycle is essential for maintaining normal cellular function,especially in the development of diseases such as lung cancer.The cell cycle consists of four major phases(G1,S,G2 and M phases),which are characterized by a series of precise molecular events to ensure proper cell proliferation and division.In lung cancer cells,cell cycle dysregulation can lead to disordered proliferation and increased invasiveness of cancer cells.G2 and S-phase expressed 1(GTSE1)is a regulatory protein found in the cytoplasm of the cell,which plays a key role in the cell cycle distribution of a wide range of cancer cells and is involved in life processes such as cell proliferation and apoptosis.GTSE1 affects cell cycle progres-sion by interacting with cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A(p21)and maintaining the stability of p21,which in turn inhibits the activity of cyclin-dependent kinase 1/2(CDK1/2).In addition,GTSE1 is also involved in the regulation of tumor protein 53(p53)signaling pathway.With the assistance of mouse double minute 2 homolog(MDM2),GTSE1 is able to transport p53 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and promote its ubiquitination and degradation,thus affecting cell cycle and cell death-related signaling pathways.This paper reviews the expression of GTSE1 in lung cancer cells and its effects on lung cancer,as well as its potential mechanisms involved in cell cycle regulation.
