Objective To explore the correlation between the ratio of free triiodothyronine/free thyroxine(FT3/FT4)and the early-phase insulin secretion index(ΔI30/ΔG30)in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients with normal thyroid function.Methods 200 patients with T2DM with normal thyroid function in Hebei General Hospital from September 2019 to June 2021 were selected and divided into the Q1 group with FT3/FT4≤0.26(n=67),the Q2 group with 0.27≤FT3/FT4≤0.29(n=67),and the Q3 group with FT3/FT4≥0.30(n=66)according to the tertiles of the FT3/FT4.The general data,biochemical indicators and islet functions of the three groups were compared,and the relationship between the FT3/FT4 ratio and the ΔI30/ΔG30 as well as the islet β cell function was analyzed.Results The fasting insulin(FIns),2 h postprandial insulin(2 hIns),homeostatic model assessment of islet β cell(HOMA-β)and area under the curve of insulin(AUCI)in Q3 group were higher than those in Q1 and Q2 groups(P<0.05),2 h postprandial blood glucose(2 hPG)in Q3 group was lower than those in Q1 and Q2 groups(P<0.05).Systolic blood pressure in Q2 group was higher than those in Q1 group(P<0.05).Compared with Q1 group,diastolic blood pressure,body mass index(BMI),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),fasting C-peptide(FC-P),area under curve of C-P(AUCC),2 h postprandial C-peptide(2 hC-P)and ΔI30/ΔG30 in Q3 group were significantly higher(P<0.05),and HbA1c was significantly lower(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that Δ I30/Δ G30,HOMA-β,AUCI,AUCC and HOMA-IR were positively correlated with BMI,ALT,FC-P,2 hC-P,FIns,2 hIns and FT3/FT4(P<0.05),it was negatively correlated with HbA1c and 2 hPG(P<0.05).Linear regression analysis showed that ΔI30/ΔG30,HOMA-β,AUCI and AUCC were the influencing factors of FT3/FT4 after adjusting for confounding factors.Conclusions ΔI30/ΔG30,HOMA-β,AUCI and AUCC are the influencing factors of FT3/FT4 in T2DM patients with normal thyroid function,suggesting that FT3/FT4 is higher in patients with better islet β cell secretion function.

Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is an important way to observe the condition of patients with severe neurological diseases; at present, ICP detection mainly relies on mean ICP, but with the progress of scientific and technological means and deepened research in related fields, ICP waveforms and their related derivative indicators have attracted more and more attention from clinicians. Based on the types and morphologies of ICP waveforms and their related derivative indexes, such as pressure response index and pressure amplitude index, relationships of ICP waveforms with brain tissue compliance and brain tissue lesions, and their clinical application are reviewed to provide some references for application of ICP waveforms in patients with severe neurological diseases.

OBJECTIVE To study the quality difference of different specifications of Citri Grandis Exocarpium from different origins,and to provide reference for the orderly development of Citri Grandis Exocarpium industry. METHODS Different specifications [ Citrus grandis ‘Tomentos’young fruit ,Citrus grandis (L.)Osbeck young fruits ,exocarp] of 93 batches of Citri Grandis Exocarpium medicinal materials (decoction pieces )from different origins [ Citrus grandis ‘Tomentosa’or Citrus grandis (L.)Osbeck] were taken as samples. The contents of naringin and rhoifolin in samples were determined by HPLC. Through pheatmap parameters of R language ,heatmap was drawn for the contents of naringin and rhoifolin according to origins and specifications (young fruit and exocarp ). RESULTS Of 93 batches of samples ,the contents of naringin and rhoifolin were 16.52-214.64 and 1.03-10.96 mg/g,respectively. Among different specifications ,the contents of naringin and rhoifolin in the young fruit were the highest (their average contents were 108.96 and 6.30 mg/g respectively ). Heatmap analysis of R language content showed that the contents of naringin and rhoifolin in Citri Grandis Exocarpium from origin of C. grandis ‘Tomentosa’were generally higher than those from origin of C. grandis (L.)Osbeck. Of different specifications of Citri Grandis Exocarpium from origins,the contents of naringin and rhoifolin were higher in KTP young fruit relatively. CONCLUSIONS The quality of Citri Grandis Exocarpium from origin of C. grandis ‘Tomentosa’with the young fruit as specification is the best.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(7):965-969
Abstract
Comprehensive sexuality education is an important part of quality education, primary and secondary schools are the most suitable places for sex education. This paper sorts out the current status of sexuality education for primary and secondary school students in developed countries after presenting the overall significance of school based sexuality education, and further points out the problems and urgency of sexuality education for primary and secondary school students in China. It also put forward the way to new directions for advocacy, including the comphrehensive sexuality education curriculum system, training of sexuality education teachers, the positive and active role of families, as well as social and community support for sexuality education in schools.
