Objective:To discuss the influence of the self-management ability of type 2 diabetic elderly patients, and provide a reference for patients′ initiative to formulate self-health management strategies.Methods:A total of 486 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes who were admitted to Yidu Central Hospital Affiliated to Shandong Second Medical University from January to June 2024 were selected by convenience sampling method. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Self-Perceived Aging Questionnaire, the Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale, the Diabetes Self-Management Scale, and the Tilburg Frailty Index Scale. Descriptive analysis, single factor analysis and Pearson correlation analysis were performed using SPSS 25.0, while model fitting path, and mediation effect analyses were conducted using AMOS 28.0.Results:Among 486 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 217 were males and 269 were females. There were 262 patients aged 60-69 years, 189 patients aged 70-79 years, and 35 patients aged ≥80 years. The score of self-management ability was 28.45±7.97, the score of self-perceived aging was 51.98±6.40, the score of diabetes self-efficacy was 75.47±21.15, and the score of frailty was 6.65±3.17. The influencing factors of self-management ability include gender, age, education level, place of residence, living condition, exercise and chronic diseases, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were -15.38 to 8.82, F=110.12, 70.82, 97.88, all P<0.05). Self-management ability and its different dimensions were negatively correlated with frailty and self-perceived aging ( r=-0.318, -0.821, both P<0.05), and positively correlated with self-efficacy ( r=0.780, P<0.05). The total effect of frailties on self-management ability was 0.60, and the direct effect was 0.12. Frailties could directly affect self-management ability, and indirectly affect self-management ability through the mediating effect of self-efficacy and self-perceived aging. Conclusions:The study concluded that the self-management ability of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes was low. Therefore, measures should be implemented to reduce frailty rates, improve self-efficacy levels, and actively address aging-related issues to enhance their overall management abilities.

Objective:To explore the short-term and long-term effects of pregnancy with aortic dissection (AD) on newborns.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, 31 live births of pregnant women with AD admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2010 to June 2022 were selected as the AD group.Among them, 19 preterm births were in the preterm AD group.Additionally, 100 neonates delivered by pregnant women without pregnancy complications were selected as the normal control group, and 50 preterm infants delivered by pregnant women without pregnancy complications were selected as the preterm control group during the same period.The differences between the AD group and the normal control group, and between the preterm AD group and the preterm control group were compared using the independent samples t-test, Chi-square test, and Fisher′s exact test.Patients in the AD group were followed up for 5 years. Results:(1) The incidence rates of small for gestational age (SGA) (12.90% vs. 1.00%), neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) (16.13% vs. 2.00%), digestive tract hemorrhage (16.13% vs. 1.00%), nervous system disease (16.13% vs. 1.00%), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) (12.90% vs. 0), premature infant (61.29% vs. 5.00%), asphyxia (35.48% vs. 1.00%), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (64.52% vs. 1.00%), respiratory support (38.71% vs. 2.00%), transfer to the department of pediatrics within 24 hours of birth (90.32% vs. 13.00%), caesarean section (100% vs. 25.00%), and low birth weight infant (38.71% vs. 2.00%) in the AD group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group, while the gestational age[(34.90±2.80) weeks vs. (38.87±1.50) weeks], length [(45.65±3.56) cm vs. (50.17±0.81) cm], and weight [(2 456.77±634.02) g vs. (3 383.90±413.05) g] were significantly less than those in the normal control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).(2) The gestational age [(33.26±2.31) weeks vs. (34.80±1.29) weeks], length [(43.89±3.36) cm vs. (46.64±2.89) cm], and weight [(2 158.95±558.92) g vs. (2 418.20±431.20) g] in the preterm AD group were less than those in the preterm control group, while the incidence rates of NRDS (26.32% vs. 4.00%), digestive tract hemorrhage (21.05% vs. 4.00%), nervous system disease (26.32% vs. 6.00%), MODS (21.05% vs. 2.00%), caesarean section (100% vs. 52.00%), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (73.68% vs. 8.00%), respiratory support (63.16% vs. 10.00%), and asphyxia (47.37% vs. 2.00%) were significantly higher than those in the preterm control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).(3) Twenty-seven cases in the AD group survived, and 4 cases were lost to follow-up.Among them, 9 cases had abnormal physical development, 3 cases had eye disease, and 1 case was mentally retarded.None of them underwent genetic detection. Conclusions:Neonates born to mothers with AD in pregnancy have poor physical development, high incidence of complications, and reduced quality of life, and need long-term monitoring and follow-up in their growth and development.

ObjectiveTo study the situation of grasping knowledge on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation ( CPR ) among the medical undergraduate interns before going to the clinic.MethodsEighty-five interns enrolled in 2011 were investigated by theory and skill exams to evaluate the cognition level on CPR and the survey results were analyzed by x2.ResultsThe average correct rate of the whole interns' theory and skill was only 44.8％.Theory exams of the clinical group performed better than non-clinical group (x2=8.57,P＜ 0.01 ).There was also no statistically significant difference between the clinical group and the non-clinical group about the average correct rate of the skill (x2=2.72,P＞0.05 )as well as between the female group and the male group (x2=0.03,P＞0.05 ).ConclusionThe medical undergraduate interns'theory and skill of CPR were generally poor,they should be trained before internship.
