Objective To explore the effects of air pressure, humidity, wind, and sunshine on the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) in Guiyang, and to provide reference for the prevention of CVD. Methods Using CVD incidence data from September 2021 to August 2022 in Guiyang City and meteorological data including average air pressure, average humidity, wind, and sunshine during the same period, the effects of meteorological factors on CVD incidence were explored and the importance of each factor was analyzed. Results When air pressure was below 868 hPa, above 887 hPa, or between 877 and 883 hPa, and when air pressure dropped less than 5.3 hPa within 24 hours, there was a higher risk of CVD. When the humidity was above 81%, the wind speed was small (<1.2 m/s) or high (>4m/s), and there was less sunlight (less than 3 hours), the risk of CVD was higher. Low humidity (<60%) was not conducive to the onset of CVD. There were highest risks at lag 5~10 days and 4-25 days for high pressure and low sunlight, respectively. When the relative humidity was saturated, there was an immediate effect. When the wind speed was low and high, the immediate effect and hysteresis effects were significant. Among the above meteorological factors, the impact of 24-hour variation of pressure and high or low atmospheric pressure on the incidence of CVD was the most significant, while the impact of sunlight and humidity was the weakest. The impact of diurnal variations in wind and atmospheric pressure was not clear. Conclusion The impact of air pressure on the incidence of CVD does not exhibit a simple linear relationship. The risk of CVD is high in high humidity, low light, and moderate or strong winds. It is necessary to fully consider changes in meteorological factors for CVD prevention and control.

Objective:
To explore the association between mediterranean diet (MD) patterns and dental caries among children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), so as to provide a basis for developing scientific anti caries strategies related to diet.
Methods:
From December 2021 to June 2024, a questionnaire survey, a three day 24 hour dietary review survey, oral health examination, physical development measurement and Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) evaluation were conducted involving 147 children and adolescents aged 2-22 years with NDD from nine special education schools and rehabilitation institutions in Tianjin. Group comparisons were carried out using the Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test, or Fisher s exact probability method. The correlation between dietary quality and dental caries was analyzed by adopting multiple linear regression analysis and restricted cubic spline.
Results:
There were 46 children and adolescents (31.3%) in the non dental caries group and 101 children and adolescents (68.7%) in the dental caries group. The number of decayed missing and filled teeth (dmft) was 2.0 (4.0), and the MD score was 4.0 (2.0) points. There were 62 children and adolescents (42.2%) in the low MD scores group and 85 children and adolescents (57.8%) in the high MD scores group. There was no significant difference in MD scores between NDD children in the non dental caries group and those in the dental caries group [nondental caries group:4.0(2.0), dental caries group:4.0(2.0), Z= -0.14, P >0.05]. The MD scores and dmft exhibited increasing and then decreasing trend ( P total =0.02, P non lineary = 0.04 ). Children and adolescents with NDD in the MD high scores group had a lower number of dmft than those in the MD low scores group ( β= -2.00 , 95%CI =-3.39 to -0.62, P <0.05). However, in children and adolescents with NDD and CARS scores ≥30, the above association was insignificant ( β=-0.63, 95%CI=-0.29-0.15, P >0.05).
Conclusion
Children and adolescents with NDD who have dietary patterns similar to the Mediterranean diet, are found to have fewer dental caries, and this is observed among those with no or mild symptoms of autism spectrum disorder.

TCM believes that spleen deficiency is the root cause of emotional abnormalities in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and clinical treatment often involves the heart, liver and kidney. TCM therapy has a significant efficacy in CFS emotional abnormalities. It is mostly treated with oral administration of TCM, acupuncture, moxibustion and massage therapy. It may play a therapeutic role by improving oxidative stress and immune inflammation, regulating nerve-endocrine, controlling energy metabolism and other ways. It is suggested to establish the syndrome differentiation standard of CFS emotional abnormality in the future, so as to improve the accuracy of syndrome differentiation and treatment; form a perfect treatment guide or expert consensus to guide the standardized application of various internal and external treatment methods; explore objective indicators based on the pathogenesis, and focus on the morphological and functional changes of disease target brain regions with the help of neuroimaging techniques, so as to improve the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of CFS; based on the guidance of TCM theory, improve the CFS emotional abnormal animal modeling method.

Objective:To explore the application effect of remote insulin injection service in home management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:A total of 134 patients with type 2 diabetes who were hospitalized in Department of Endocrinology in Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from March to December 2022 were selected as research objects by the convenient sampling method. According to the random number table method, the patients were divided into the control group and the observation group, with 67 cases in each group. After discharge, the control group received routine out-of-hospital home follow-up management, and the observation group received remote insulin injection service management on the basis of the control group. The management period was three months. Differences in glycemic indicators, Scale of the Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) score, insulin injection compliance and incidence of insulin injection-related negative events were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 134 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 134 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 100.00%. After management, fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and SDSCA score was higher than that in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). Moreover, fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin in observation group after management were lower than before management, and SDSCA score was higher than before management, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The insulin injection compliance of the observation group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=2.485, P=0.013). The total incidence of negative events in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Remote insulin injection service can effectively improve the blood glucose control level of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at home, improve self-management ability and insulin injection compliance and reduce the incidence of negative events related to insulin injection, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective:To explore the experience of elderly patients with diabetes after the first use of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rt-CGM) through qualitative research.Methods:From January to December 2022, 20 elderly patients with diabetes who received rt-CGM in Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were selected as the research object with objective sampling. Semi-structured, personalized, one-to-one in-depth interviews were used to collect data. The qualitative research content analysis method was used to summarize interview data, extract and explain the theme.Results:In this interview, a total of five themes were obtained. There were two themes before continuous glucose monitoring, namely high recognition of rt-CGM by patients and the expectation of understanding blood glucose fluctuations, which was the main purpose for patients to receive rt-CGM. After continuous glucose monitoring, there were three themes, namely, the negative emotions caused by abnormal blood glucose alarms during rt-CGM, disagreements among patients regarding the calibration method of measuring finger blood glucose four times a day during rt-CGM, and patients questioning the accuracy of rt-CGM data.Conclusions:Elderly patients with diabetes are willing to receive rt-CGM, but there are still many misunderstandings. Medical and nursing staff should develop targeted nursing strategies from various aspects such as improving patients ' psychological state, enhancing patients ' correct understanding of treatment, and strengthening standardized training for nurses, so as to increase patients ' treatment compliance and effectively control blood glucose.
