Objective To investigate the effects of comprehensive nutrition management on glycolipid metabolism and pregnancy outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).Methods A total of 121 pregnant women with GDM at 24-28 weeks gestation who were registered in the obstetrics department of 6 sub-central hospi-tals in China from May 2021 to July 2021 were included in this study and were randomly divided into intervention group(n=74)and control group(n=47).The intervention group received intensive comprehensive nutrition man-agement,including at least 6 outpatient interventions,individualized nutrition management and a half-day standard-ized outpatient education on gestational diabetes mellitus,continuous dynamic blood glucose monitoring and micro-blood glucose monitoring,and routine check of glycated albumin and urine every 4 weeks.Body weight,body com-position and diet and exercise implementation procedures and fetal development as well as complications were recor-ded.The control group received conventional nutritional guidance.The two groups were compared for difference in blood glucose related indicators at 37 weeks of gestation,weight gain before delivery,some lipid metabolism indica-tors,pregnancy outcomes,and oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)at 42 days postpartum.Results Compared with the control group,the level of prenatal fasting blood glucose(P=0.006),intravenous plasma glucose(P=0.009)and blood ketone(P = 0.044)in the intervention group was significantly reduced.There was no significant difference in weight gain and weight attainment rate between the two groups.The 2-hour postpartum OGTTs of preg-nant women in the intervention group(P=0.006)were significantly lower than those in the control group,and the incidence of preeclampsia and postpartum blood loss were lower than those in the control group but no statistical difference was found.For newborns,the incidence of macrosomia(P=0.042)and planation(P=0.048)in the in-tervention group was slightly lower than that in the control group,and the results were statistically different.Other adverse pregnancy outcomes were not statistically different between the two groups.Conclusions Intensive compre-hensive nutrition management has a positive impact on the control of the blood glucose in pregnant women and im-proves the maternal and neonatal outcomes of women with GDM.

Objective To explore the post-traumatic growth course for women with termination of pregnancy due to fetal abnormalities and analyze the promoting factors,in order to provide a basis for nursing and intervention tactics.Methods The purposive sampling and theoretical sampling methods were used to select 16 women who were diagnosed with fetal abnormalities and decided to terminate pregnancy in the obstetrics department of a tertiary care maternity hospital in Beijing from May 2021 to February 2022.Women were interviewed by semi-structured interviews,and the data was analyzed by Charmaz's constructing grounded theory paradigm.Results Women with termination of pregnancy due to fetal abnormalities underwent 4 stages of post-traumatic growth:traumatic stress period,rumination and seeking of help period,and acceptance internalization period,and post-traumatic growth period.The behavior of each period was influenced by the psychological experience of the corresponding period and influenced the experience of the next period.Extroverted personality,previous normal pregnancy and delivery experience,positive perception of events,positive self-identification,good social support,appropriate hospitalization environment and regulations,open mindedness towards death and religious belief,affected women's post-traumatic growth.Conclusion The post-traumatic growth course of women with termination of pregnancy due to fetal anomaly is a complex continuously sublimated process.Medical staff should pay attention to psychological and behavioral changes in women's post-traumatic growth,combine the factors that promote post-traumatic growth,and provide targeted guidance to help them successfully go through this difficult period and achieve personal growth.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of Peritoneal interposition flap (PIF) technique in preventing postoperative pelvic lymphocele formation during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with extended pelvic lymph node dissection (LRP+ ePLND).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 113 patients with locally high-risk or locally advanced prostate cancer who underwent LRP+ ePLND at Shanghai East Hospital, from January 2020 to November 2023. Among them, 27 patients received PIF technique and 86 received traditional LRP+ ePLND. ePLND was carried out as the clearance of external iliac vessels, medial side of the internal iliac artery, and pararectal lymph nodes. The PIF technique was the suturing the peritoneal flap after freeing the bladder to the lateral side of the bladder, pulling the peritoneal edge that follows the bladder's free edge posteriorly to the pubis, curling it onto the lateral surface of the bladder. This could expose the lymph node clearance bed, establishing a pathway from the lymph node clearance bed to the abdominal cavity space, allowing exuded lymphatic fluid to flow into the abdominal cavity for absorption by the peritoneum. There were no statistically significant differences in age [(68.37±6.92)years vs.(70.47±5.72)years], body mass index [(25.47±2.49)kg/m 2vs.(24.46±2.80)kg/m 2], and preoperative PSA [(23.28±13.94)ng/ml vs.(24.81±13.99)ng/ml] between the PIF group and the control group ( P>0.05). Biopsy Gleason score in PIF group: 6 in 2 cases, 7 in 9 cases, 8 in 9 cases, 9-10 in 2 cases. Biopsy Gleason score in control group: 6 in 4 cases, 7 in 35 cases, 8 in 27 cases, 9-10 in 20 cases. Clinic stage in PIF group: T 2 in 18 cases, T 3 in 6 cases, T 4 in 3 cases. Clinic stage in control group: T 2 in 51cases, T 3 in 27 cases, T 4 in 8 cases. The preoperative Gleason scores and TNM staging comparisons between the PIF group and the control group showed no statistically significant differences ( P>0.05). Surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, lymph node positivity rate, incidence of postoperative lymphocele, and recovery of urinary control were compared between the two groups. Results:All surgeries were completed successfully without intraoperative complications in both groups. There were no statistically significant differences between the PIF group and the control group in terms of surgical duration [(202.96±24.15)min vs.(201.1±29.85)min], intraoperative blood loss [(85.56±32.27)ml vs.(90.7±49.25)ml], and lymph node positivity rate [(4 in PIF group, 14.8%)vs.(25 in control group, 29.1%)]( P>0.05). Urinary catheters were retained for 10-14 days postoperatively. Following catheter removal, there were no statistically significant differences in urinary control rates at 1 month [51.85%(14/27)vs. 48.83%(42/86)]and 2 months[74.07%(20/27) vs. 72.09%(62/86)] between the PIF group and the control group ( P>0.05). At the 2 to 6-month follow-up CT scan, none of the 27 patients in the PIF group developed pelvic lymphocele, whereas 9 patients in the control group did (6 cases bilateral, 3 cases unilateral), showing a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.002). Postoperatively, 3 patients in the control group experienced symptoms, with 1 case of lymphocele infection causing fever 1 month after surgery. Lymphocysts were found in 2 patients with ipsilateral lower extremity swelling 2 weeks after surgery. Conclusions:The application of PIF technique during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with extended pelvic lymph node dissection via the abdominal approach could be safe and feasible. It may prevent postoperative pelvic lymphocele formation.

Japanese encephalitis is an acute central nervous system infectious disease caused by Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) with brain parenchyma inflammation, characterized by high fever, headache, positive meningeal irritation, impaired consciousness, convulsion, and respiratory failure, with mortality rate as high as 20%-30%, and with neurological sequelae in 30%-50% of survivors. The mechanism of brain damage caused by JEV infection is still unclear, and some studies imply its close relation with immune-inflammatory response. This article reviews the research progress on immune-inflammatory response mechanism of Japanese encephalitis to help to understand its pathogenesis.

Objective To explore the value of coronary fat attenuation index(FAI)combined with laboratory indicators in predicting the risk of acute coronary syndrome(ACS)in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 454 patients who were diagnosed with CHD in Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital SCAD group(n=233)and an ACS group(n=221).Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed on the FAI values of the main coronary branches[right coronary artery(RCA),left anterior descending branch(LAD),left circumflex branch(LCX)],laboratory indicators,and clinical data,to identify independent risk factors for ACS in CHD patients.Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed,and area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the predictive performance of the independent risk factors and their combinations.Results LAD-FAI,RCA-FAI,and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)were independent influencing factors for ACS in CHD patients.The AUC for the prediction of ACS occurrence in CHD patients based on LAD-FAI,RCA-FAI,and elevated hs-CRP values alone were 0.568,0.703,and 0.749,respectively.When these three factors were analyzed in combination,the AUC was 0.815.Conclusion The combined analysis of LAD-FAI,RCA-FAI,and hs-CRP has good predictive performance for assessing the risk of ACS in CHD patients.

Objective:To observe the effect of taping on the kinematic characteristics of the ankle joint during forward and lateral jumps by male basketball players with chronic ankle instability (CAI).Methods:A Vicon 3D motion capture system and a Kistler 3D ergometer were used to collect data describing the landing data with or without taping from forward and lateral jumps of 29 male basketball players with CAI. The landing data included the dorsiflexion and plantarflexion angles, valgus and inversion angles and external and internal rotation angles. Dorsiflexion or plantarflexion angular velocity was also recorded along with valgus or inversion angular velocity and external or internal rotation angular velocity 200ms, 150ms, 100ms and 50ms before and after touchdown. The data obtained were modeled using three-dimensional motion analysis software, and then analyzed.Results:Taping reduced the ankle plantarflexion in landing from a forward jump by 3.27° 50ms before landing and by 2.70° at touchdown. The ankle inversion angle was reduced 2.13° 50ms before touchdown, while the angle of external rotation decreased by 2.59° 200ms before touchdown and 2.17° 150ms before. Moreover, the angle of external rotation 100ms after landing was reduced by a significant 1.59° compared with that without taping. In lateral jumps taping reduced the average ankle plantarflexion angle by 1.94° 50ms before landing and 3.23° at touchdown compared with no taping. Ankle inversion was reduced significantly by 2.86° 50ms before landing and by 2.87° at touchdown. External rotation was a significant 0.93° less 200ms before landing and 2.36° smaller 150ms before touchdown. In the forward jump landing, taping reduced the average angular velocity of ankle dorsiflexion on landing by a significant 58.5°/s and by 28.39°/s 100ms later. In the lateral jump landings the average ankle dorsiflexion velocity decreased by significant 20.5°/s with taping, but the valgus velocity increased by 49.7°/s compared with no taping. However, 50ms after touchdown the speed of external rotation with taping was 30.3°/s slower than without taping.Conclusions:Ankle taping can modify ankle rotation angles and angular velocities during landing from jumps. This is particularly helpful for basketball players with CAI.

Objective:To explore any effect of kinesio taping on the head and neck mobility of children with congenital muscular torticollis.Methods:A total of 52 children with congenital muscular torticollis were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, each of 26. All were given 20 minutes of routine rehabilitation training daily, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. The treatment group was additionally taped up with kinesio tape for no more than 48 hours once every 3 days for 4 weeks. Before and after the treatment the angles of head tilt and neck lateral flexion and the gaps in left and right neck rotation were measured for both groups.Results:Significant improvement was observed in both groups but there was significantly more improvement among the treatment group. The treatment had a cure rate (46.15%) and an improvement rate (50.00%) significantly superior to those of the control group and a significantly lower rate of ineffectiveness.Conclusion:Kinesio taping along with routine rehabilitation training can better improve the head and neck mobility of children with congenital muscular torticollis.

It is discovered that activated caspase-3 tends to induce apoptosis in gasdermin E (GSDME)-deficient cells, but pyroptosis in GSDME-sufficient cells. The high GSDME expression and apoptosis resistance of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells shed light on another attractive strategy for PDAC treatment by promoting pyroptosis. Here we report a hGLuc-hGSDME-PCA system for high-throughput screening of potential GSDME activators against PDAC. This screening system neatly quantifies the oligomerization of GSDME-N to characterize whether pyroptosis occurs under the stimulation of chemotherapy drugs. Based on this system, ponatinib and perifosine are screened out from the FDA-approved anti-cancer drug library containing 106 compounds. Concretely, they exhibit the most potent luminescent activity and cause drastic pyroptosis in PDAC cells. Further, we demonstrate that perifosine suppresses pancreatic cancer by promoting pyroptosis via caspase-3/GSDME pathway both in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, this study reveals the great significance of hGLuc-hGSDME-PCA in identifying compounds triggering GSDME-dependent pyroptosis and developing promising therapeutic agents for PDAC.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Gushen Jianpi Huashi Decoction combined with irbesartan in the treatment of spleen and kidney deficiency syndrome of diabetic nephropathy (DN).Methods:According to random number table method, 97 patients with DN who met the inclusion criteria and from January 2018 to September 2020 were randomly divided into two groups, 48 in the control group and 49 in the study group. The control group took irbesartan on the basis of routine treatment of western medicine, and the study group took Gushen Jianpi Huashi Decoction on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 14 days as a course of treatment, a total of 6 courses of treatment. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome scores were performed before and after treatment, BUN and SCr levels were detected by automatic biochemical instrument, and serum IL-6, TNF-α, and CRP levels were detected by ELISA. The Urinary microalbumin excretion rate (UAER) was measured by radioimmunoassay, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated and adverse reactions were recorded.Results:The total effective rate was 91.8% (45/49) in the study group and 75.0% (36/48) in the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.99, P=0.025). The scores of TCM syndrome in the study group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( t=29.75, P<0.01). After treatment, the serum BUN [(4.49 ± 0.68) mmol/L vs. (5.16 ± 0.61) mmol/L, t=5.11], SCr [(63.42 ± 4.09) μmol/L vs. (69.01 ± 4.35) μmol/L, t=6.52] and UAER [(72.58 ± 5.88) μg/min vs. (85.63 ± 6.49) μg/min, t=10.44] in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01), the serum IL-6, CRP and TNF-α levels in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 9.44, 7.24 and 18.08, respectively, P<0.01). During the treatment, the incidence of adverse reactions was 14.6% (7/48) in the control group and 16.3% (8/49) in the study group, but there was no significant difference between two groups ( χ2=0.06, P=0.812). Conclusion:The Gushen Jianpi Huashi Decoction combined with irbesartan can improve the renal function of DN patients, reduce the level of inflammatory cytokines and improve the clinical effect.

【Objective】 To study the annual financial expenditure in blood stations with different scales, and to establish the regression equation between blood collection units and total expenditure. 【Methods】 The annual total expenditure, the per capita cost of serving population, as well as the collection units of whole blood and apheresis platelet of 24 blood stations were collected. The financial expenditure required for collecting 10 000U blood was calculated.The statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS statistical software. 【Results】 From 2017 to 2020, the total annual financial expenditure of 24 blood stations showed an upward trend. The total expenditure among blood stations was different. The per capita cost of servicing population in the areas where the 24 blood stations were located had been increasing year by year. The 24 blood stations were divided into two grades according to the blood collection volume as 50 000 U, and the relationship equation between the blood collection volume and the annual total expenditure had been established. After testing, each equation was effective(P<0.05); There was no difference in the financial expenditure required for collecting 10 000U blood among blood stations with different scales. 【Conclusion】 From 2017 to 2020, the blood stations with an annual collection volume more than 50 000 U demonstrated a higher financial expenditure and the per capita cost of serving population than those <50 000 U. The blood collection volume of blood stations is significantly correlated with the annual total expenditure and the per capita cost of serving population.
