Objective To analyze the effectiveness of a tele-diet combined exercise intervention program in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with sarcopenia.Methods The selection of 80 cases of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with sarcopenia was conducted from December 2022 to February 2023 in 2 communities in Urumqi City,and the 2 communities were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group,with 40 cases in each group.The experimental group carried out the intervention of dietary combined with exercise through tele-technology on the basis of the routine health education,and the control group implemented the routine health education.The scores of somatic functions,muscle strength and quality of life of patients with sarcopenia were compared between the 2 groups before and after the intervention.Results After the intervention,6-meter step speed,5 sit-to-stand tests,grip strength index,and quality of life in the experimental group were better than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Tele-diet combined with exercise intervention positively affects somatic function,muscle strength,and quality of life in elderly patients with T2DM combined with sarcopenia.

Objective:To investigate the satisfaction levels of the rural elderly in Dafeng district of Yancheng, Jiangsu province with the contracted family doctor services, and to identify the factors that influence their satisfaction.The findings of this study will provide valuable insights for improving the quality of the contracted family doctor services offered to the rural elderly population.Methods:The study utilized the stratified cluster sampling method to select elderly individuals aged 60 years and above from Dafeng district, Yancheng city for a questionnaire survey.Specifically, the study focused on elderly individuals who had participated in contracted family doctor services for more than six months.The survey aimed to gather information on the elderly population's general situation, as well as their understanding, utilization, and satisfaction with contracted family doctor services.The satisfaction of contracted family doctor services was analyzed using the chi square test and multivariate Logistic regression to identify the influencing factors.Results:The study surveyed 385 elderly individuals from rural areas who had contracted family doctor services.The results showed that 88.3%(340/385)of respondents were satisfied with the services they received.Additionally, 99.2%(382/385)of those surveyed were aware of the contracted family doctor services, and 81.8%(315/385)had received basic medical services from their signed-up doctors.The results of a multifactor analysis that examined the factors influencing the overall satisfaction of elderly patients with their contracted family doctor services revealed several significant factors.Specifically, being female( OR=2.557, 95% CI: 1.122-5.830, P=0.026)and unmarried( OR=7.355, 95% CI: 1.850-29.237, P=0.005), supporting the contracted family doctor services system( OR=18.442, 95% CI: 1.732-195.973, P=0.016), believing that the contracted medical institutions had excellent hardware facilities( OR=9.918, 95% CI: 2.313-42.526, P=0.002)and providing high-quality health services for the elderly( OR=8.723, 95% CI: 1.556-48.908, P=0.014), as well as experiencing improved health status after signing the contract( OR=5.006, 95% CI: 1.764-14.201, P=0.002)were all significant factors influencing their satisfaction.These findings suggest that these factors are important considerations for improving the satisfaction of elderly patients with their contracted family doctor services. Conclusions:The contracted family doctor services provided in Dafeng district, Yancheng city have been well received by the rural elderly population.Factors such as gender, marital status, attitude towards the contracted family doctor services system, improvements in health status after contracting the service, quality of the hardware facilities at the contracted medical institution, and availability of health services specifically tailored for the elderly all play a role in determining the level of satisfaction among the contracted elderly population.To better serve the elderly population, it is crucial that we prioritize their needs.This can be achieved by improving the level of "suitable aging" in the contracted services and enhancing the satisfaction of family doctors who provide these services.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of total lignans of Arctii Fructus on the retinal tissue in the rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus. MethodWistar rats were randomized into normal， model， solvent， Shuangdan Mingmu Capsules （618 mg·kg^-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （100， 200， 400 mg·kg^-1， respectively） total lignans of Arctii Fructus groups， with 16 rats in each group. The rat model was established by streptozotocin （STZ） combined with a high-fat diet and administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage once a day for 14 weeks. At the 14^th week， blood was sampled for the collection of serum from the abdominal aorta after anesthesia， and bilateral eyeballs were collected and frozen. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of the retinal tissue in rats. The pathological changes of retinal vascular network in rats were observed by retinal vascular tissue digestion and mounting The levels of vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （ICAM-1） in the serum were determined by the ELISA kit. ResultCompared with the normal group， the solvent group showed pathological changes in the retinal tissue， reduced retinal ganglion cells （P<0.01）， and retinal thinning （P<0.01）， decreased E/P value in retinal blood vessels （P<0.01）， and elevated serum levels of VEGF， TNF-α， and ICAM-1 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the total lignans of Arctii Fructus increased the retinal ganglion cells （P<0.01）， thickened the retina （P<0.01）， and lowered the serum levels of VEGF， TNF-α， and ICAM-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionTotal lignans of Arctii Fructus may lower the VEGF， TNF-α， and ICAM-1 levels to protect the retina.

Objective To explore the expression of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2(TREM2)in high-glucose microglia and to investigate the role of TREM2 in the proliferation,migration and phagocytosis of high-glucose microglia.Methods Microglia cells were divided into control group and high-glucose treatment group(67.5 mmol/L glucose,24 h).The microglia cells were counted and the expression of Iba1 and TREM2 was de-tected.TREM2 siRNA was transfected to detect the proliferation and migration of microglia.The amyloid β-peptide(Aβ)with a fluorescent tag was added to observe the phagocytosis of Aβ by microglia.Results Compared to normal microglia,the number of microglia significantly decreased after high-glucose treatment(P＜0.001),while the ex-pression of TREM2 and Iba1 markedly increased(P＜0.001).High glucose and TREM2 did not affect the prolifer-ation of microglia.Compared to the normal group,the migration of microglia significantly decreased after high-glu-cose treatment(P＜0.05)and TREM2 did not affect the migration ability of high-glucose microglia.Compared to the normal group,the phagocytosis of Aβ by microglia significantly decreased in the high-glucose treated group(P＜0.001).Furthermore,TREM2 knockdown further decreased the phagocytosis of Aβ by high-glucose microglia(P＜0.001).Conclusions The expression of TREM2 in microglia significantly increases after high-glucose treat-ment,which significantly affects phagocytosis of Aβ by microglia.

Objectives:To analyze the survival benefit of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) radical resection based on single cell omics.Methods:This is a retrospective case-series study. ICC single-cell sequencing was integrated from four data sets in the Gene Expression Omnibus Database, with a total of 46 patients undergoing radical resection, to explore the characteristics of the microenvironment. Microarray data of 100 ICC cases was analyzed in the EMBI database with survival data. The infiltration abundance of each epithelial cell cluster was calculated in each microarray data sample using the ssGSEA algorithm. The key epithelial cell cluster associated with poor patient outcomes was explored. The clinical value of key marker genes in this subgroup was studied. Prognostic marker genes were selected using the univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards(CoxPH) model. The The CoxPH model was constructed by the target genes and a nomogram was drawn. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to verify the relationship between score and prognosis of patients. The predictive power of the model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA).Results:Epithelial cell clusters infiltrated almost exclusively in tumor tissue. The MT2A+ epithelial cell subset was associated with a poorer prognosis for patients with a high invasion abundance and patients characterized by infiltration of this group were defined as antioxidant. After screening marker genes in this cluster using a univariate and multivariate CoxPH model, the following genes were found to be independent prognostic factors: FILPIL, NFKBIA, PEG10, SERPINB5. The CoxPH model was constructed using the four gene expression levels, and the survival rate of patients in the high-risk group was significantly lower than those in the low-risk group (all P<0.05). The constructed nomogram had good discrimination and validity. The ROC curve showed that the predicted area under the curve was 0.779, 0.844 and 0.845 at 1, 3 and 5 years, respectively. Compared to clinical indicators, the model had better predictive power using the calibration curve and the DCA test. Conclusions:The MT2A+ epithelial cell group may be associated with the prognosis of patients with ICC, and the concept of ICC tissue typing of antioxidant and non-antioxidant types is proposed. The type of antioxidant may predict the poor prognosis of the patients, and postoperative adjuvant therapy and other means could be considered to improve the survival of the patients.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a type of primary liver cancer, which has shown an increasing trend in incidence and mortality in recent years, with a poor prognosis. The clinical diagnosis and treatment of ICC currently face the challenges of low detection rate, high mortality rate, poor treatment outcome, and urgently need more in-depth research to promote the improvement of clinical diagnosis and treatment level. In recent years, ICC diagnosis and treatment related research has made new progress in many aspects, and the knowledge about these new clinical diagnosis and treatment advances should be updated in a timely manner. This article reviewed the latest research results in recent years, summarized some new views on ICC typing, prevention and diagnosis staging that have been proposed recently, as well as the new progress made in surgical treatment and systemic treatment, and briefly discussed the potential of ICC individualized precision treatment and the occurrence of rare complications caused by combined treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the number of positive preoperative serological tumor markers on the surgical approach and prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:This is a retrospective case-series study. Data from 548 patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after radical resection from October 2010 to April 2019 were retrospectively collected in 10 hospitals of China. There were 277 males and 271 females with an age of (57.8±10.2)years(range:23 to 84 years). Four hundred and twenty-six patients(77.7%) had at least one positive preoperative serum tumor marker. The data collection included the results of 4 preoperative serological tumor markers,other preoperative indicators(5 prodromal symptoms, 6 medical history,8 preoperative serological indicators,5 preoperative imaging indicators,and 14 preoperative pathological examination indicators),baseline data (gender and age),surgical methods,and prognostic follow-up data. Four preoperative results of serologic tumor marker and surgical procedure were converted into categorical variables. The number of positive preoperative serum tumor markers was used as the treatment variable,the surgical method was used as the mediating variable,and the survival time was used as the outcome variable. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to screen for other preoperative indicators which were independent factors that influenced the surgical procedure and the prognosis of patients as covariates to analyze the mediating effect.Results:Of the 548 patients included in the study, 176 patients (32.1%) underwent partial hepatectomy,151 patients(27.5%) underwent hemihepatectomy, and 221 patients(40.3%) underwent partial hepatectomy or hemihepatectomy combined with other treatments. The results of the univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the number of positive serum tumor markers,intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,portal vein invasion,pathological differentiation,pathological type,vascular invasion,T stage,N stage and maximum tumor diameter were independent factors influencing the surgical procedure(all P<0.05). Intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,pathological differentiation and T stage were independent prognostic factors for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(all P<0.05). Intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,differentiation and T stage were included as covariates in the mediation effect model. The results showed that the number of positive serum tumor markers before surgery had a negative predictive effect on the survival time of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( β=-0.092, P=0.039),and had a positive predictive effect on the surgical method ( β=0.244, P<0.01). The number of positive serum tumor markers had a negative predictive effect on the survival time of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( β=-0.151, P=0.002). Direct and indirect effects accounted for 71.3% and 28.7% of total effects,respectively. Conclusions:The higher the positive number of preoperative tumor markers,the worse the prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The number of positive cells not only directly affects the prognosis of patients,but also indirectly affects the prognosis of patients by affecting the surgical method.

Objective:To understand the current status of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia among preschool children in China.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted with a multi-stage stratified sampling method to select 150 streets or townships from 10 Chinese provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities (East: Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Hainan; Central: Henan; West: Chongqing, Shaanxi, Guizhou, and Xinjiang; Northeast: Liaoning). From May 2022 to April 2023, a total of 21 470 children, including community-based children aged 0.5 to<3.0 years receiving child health care and kindergarten-based children aged 3.0 to<7.0 years, were surveyed. They were divided into 3 age groups: infants (0.5 to<1.0 year), toddlers (1.0 to<3.0 years), and preschoolers (3.0 to<7.0 years). Basic information such as sex and date of birth of the children was collected, and peripheral blood samples were obtained for routine blood tests and serum ferritin measurement. The prevalence rates of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia were analyzed, and the prevalence rate differences were compared among different ages, sex, urban and rural areas, and regions using the chi-square test.Results:A total of 21 460 valid responses were collected, including 10 780 boys (50.2%). The number of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers were 2 645 (12.3%), 6 244 (29.1%), and 12 571 (58.6%), respectively. The hemoglobin level was (126.7±14.8) g/L, and the serum ferritin level was 32.3 (18.5, 50.1) μg/L. The overall rates of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia were 10.4% (2 230/21 460), 28.3% (6 070/21 460), and 3.9% (845/21 460), respectively. The prevalence rate of anemia was higher for boys than for girls (10.9% (1 173/10 780) vs. 9.9% (1 057/10 680), χ2=5.58, P=0.018), with statistically significant differences in the rates for infants, toddlers and preschoolers (18.0% (475/2 645), 10.6% (662/6 244), and 8.7% (1 093/12 571), respectively, χ2=201.81, P<0.01), and the rate was significantly higher for children in rural than that in urban area (11.8% (1 516/12 883) vs. 8.3% (714/8 577), χ2=65.54, P<0.01), with statistically significant differences in the rates by region ( χ2=126.60, P<0.01), with the highest rate of 15.8% (343/2 173) for children in Central region, and the lowest rate of 5.3% (108/2 053) in Northeastern region. The prevalence rates of iron deficiency were 33.8% (895/2 645), 32.2% (2 011/6 244), and 25.2% (3 164/12 571) in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, respectively, and 30.0% (3 229/10 780) in boys vs. 26.6% (2 841/10 680) in girls, 21.7% (1 913/8 821), 40.0% (870/2 173), 27.1% (2 283/8 413), 48.9% (1 004/2 053) in Eastern, Central, Western, and Northeastern regions, respectively, and each between-group showed a significant statistical difference ( χ2=147.71, 29.73, 773.02, all P<0.01). The prevalence rate of iron-deficiency anemia showed a significant statistical difference between urban and rural areas, 2.9% (251/8 577) vs. 4.6% (594/12 883) ( χ2=38.62, P<0.01), while the difference in iron deficiency prevalence was not significant ( χ2=0.51, P=0.476). Conclusions:There has been a notable improvement in iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia among preschool children in China, but the situation remains concerning. Particular attention should be paid to the prevention and control of iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia, especially among infants and children in the Central, Western, and Northeastern regions of China.

OBJECTIVE To observe the changes of static functional connectivity(sFC) and dynamic functional connectivity(dFC) of amygdala subregions in patients with bilateral idiopathic tinnitus and hearing loss(TINHL). METHODS The resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) data of 30 patients with bilateral tinnitus and hearing loss and 37 normal controls(NCs) were collected to analyze the intensity changes of sFC and dFC in 8 subregions of amygdala and the whole brain in TINHL patients. RESULTS There were no significant differences in age,sex and education between the two groups. Compared with the NCs group,the sFC intensity of the right basolateral subregion and right cerebellar peduncle 1 region,the left basolateral subregion and left orbital medial frontal gyrus and left angular gyrus in TINHL group was significantly decreased. The dFC intensity of left amygdalostriatal subregion and left precuneus in TINHL group was increased,but the dFC intensity was reduced in the left basolateral subregion and right angular gyrus as well as between the right superficial subregion and right medial orbital of superior frontal gyrus. CONCLUSION Among the 8 subregions of amygdala,the bilateral basolateral subregions,the left amygdalostriatal subregion and the right superficial region shown abnormal functional connectivity with other regions of the brain,which are the important parts of emotional abnormalities in TINHL.
