Medical institutions, families and schools should provide all-round support for adolescents with type 1 diabetes to help them enhance their disease self-management, improve their health outcomes and promote their post-traumatic growth.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between intracranial arterial remodeling and imaging markers in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).Methods:One hundred and fifty-six patients with CSVD who were admitted to the Department of Neurology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University or the Public People′s Hospital of Xinzheng from January 2020 to May 2022 were selected, and their brain artery remodeling (BAR) score was calculated. The patients with BAR score≤-1 standard deviation (SD) were defined as individuals with constrictive remodeling of intracranial arteries, and the patients with BAR score≥1 SD were defined as individuals with dilated remodeling of intracranial arteries. Imaging markers of CSVD [white matter hyperintensities (WMHs), lacune, cerebral microbleeds, enlarged perivascular spaces, and cerebral atrophy] were quantified, total CSVD load was calculated and patients were divided into low load group (0-2 points, n=91) and high load group (3-4 points, n=65) according to the total CSVD load scores. The correlation between intracranial artery remodeling and various imaging markers of CSVD and total load was analyzed by using univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis. A nomogram prediction model was established and a receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to assess the predictive value of intracranial artery remodeling on high total CSVD load. Results:Dilated intracranial arterial remodeling was an independent influence factor on severe WMHs ( OR=3.66, 95% CI 1.38-9.72, P=0.009), lacune ( OR=3.78, 95% CI 1.17-12.19, P=0.026), cerebral atrophy ( OR=3.11, 95% CI=1.10-8.81, P=0.033), and high total CSVD load ( OR=6.66, 95% CI=2.14-20.77, P=0.001). Age was an independent influencing factor for high total CSVD load ( OR=1.12, 95% CI 1.07-1.16, P<0.01). A nomogram prediction model for high total CSVD load with age and BAR score≥1 SD as dependent variables had a good effect (C-index=0.826) and calibration ( P=0.024). The best cut-off point of ROC curve was 0.50, with an area under the curve of 0.83 (95% CI 0.76-0.89, P<0.01), the sensitivity and specificity of 0.72 and 0.82. Conclusions:Patients with dilated intracranial arterial remodeling may have a heavier CSVD load. Dilated intracranial arterial remodeling may serve as a new biomarker for assessing CSVD, but the mechanism of the association needs further study.

Objective:To compare the value of Caprini, Padua and Autar risk assessment models in the risk assessment of venous thromboembolism in hospitalized stroke patients.Methods:A retrospective case-control study were used to collect hospitalized stroke patients in the neurology department of Xiangya Hospital from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2020. 75 patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) were VTE group and 75 patients without VTE were control group. The risk of thrombosis was assessed by Caprini risk assessment model, Padua risk assessment model and Autar risk assessment model respectively. The predictive value of each model on the risk of VTE formation in stroke patients was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC).Results:The areas under the curve of Caprini, Padua and Autar risk assessment models for predicting the risk of VTE formation in stroke patients were 0.768±0.039, 0.746±0.040 and 0.710±0.042 respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 81.3%, 61.3%, 71.3%(Caprini), 72.0%, 72.0%, 72.0%(Padua), 66.7%, 68.0% and 67.3%(Autar) respectively. There was no significant difference in the prediction value of the three models on the formation risk of stroke VTE (all P>0.05). The technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method was used to comprehensively evaluate the AUC, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the three risk assessment models. Padua risk assessment model was the best, followed by Caprini risk assessment model and Autar risk assessment model. Conclusions:The Caprini, Padua, and Autar risk assessment scales can well predict the risk of VTE in stroke patients. The Caprini scale has the highest sensitivity and the Padua scale has the highest specificity. There is no significant difference in the predictive value of the three scales. Comprehensive evaluation of predictive value: Padua risk assessment scale is the best.

Objective:To investigate the changes of quadriceps femoris thickness with the length of stay in intensive care unit (ICU) in patients with sepsis, and to evaluate the diagnostic value of muscle changes in mortality.Methods:A prospective study was conducted, and 92 patients with sepsis who were admitted to the ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from January 2020 to December 2021 were enrolled. The thickness of quadriceps femoris [including the quadriceps femoris muscle thickness at the midpoint of the anterior superior iliac spine and the upper edge of the patella (M-QMLT), and at the middle and lower 1/3 of the patella (T-QMLT)] measured by ultrasound 1 day (D1), 3 days (D3), and 7 days (D7) after admission to the ICU were collected. The atrophy rate of quadriceps femoris was calculated 3 and 7 days after admission to the ICU compared with 1 day [(D3-D1)/D1 and (D7-D1)/D1, (TD3-TD1)/TD1 and (TD7-TD1)/TD1, respectively]. The demographic information, underlying diseases, vital signs when admission to the ICU and in-hospital mortality of all patients were recorded, and the differences of the above indicators between the two groupswere compared. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influence of quadriceps femoris muscle thickness and atrophy rate on in-hospital mortality of septic patients. The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to analyze the predictive value of quadriceps femoris muscle thickness and atrophy rate on in-hospital mortality of septic patients.Results:A total of 92 patients with severe sepsis were included, of which 41 patients died in hospital, 51 patients discharged. The in-hospital mortality was 44.6%. The muscle thickness of quadriceps femoris in severe septic patients decreased with the prolongation of ICU stay, and there was no significant difference between the two groups at the first and third day of ICU admission. The muscle thickness of quadriceps femoris at different measuring positions in the survival group was significantly greater than those in the death group 7 days after admission to the ICU [M-QMLT D7 (cm): 0.50±0.26 vs. 0.39±0.19, T-QMLT D7 (cm): 0.58±0.29 vs. 0.45±0.21, both P < 0.05]. The atrophy rate of quadriceps femoris muscle thickness at different measuring positions 3 and 7 days after admission to ICU in the survival group was significantly lower than those in the death group [(D3-D1)/D1: (8.33±3.44)% vs. (9.74±3.91)%, (D7-D1)/D1: (12.21±4.76)% vs. (19.80±6.15)%, (TD3-TD1)/TD1: (7.83±4.26)% vs. (10.51±4.75)%, (TD7-TD1)/TD1: (11.10±5.46)% vs. (20.22±6.05)%, all P < 0.05]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that M-QMLT D7, T-QMLT D7, (D3-D1)/D1, (D7-D1)/D1, (TD3-TD1)/TD1, (TD7-TD1)/TD1 were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality (all P < 0.05). The results were stable after adjusting for confounding factors. ROC curve analysis showed that (TD7-TD1)/TD1 [area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.853, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.773-0.934] was superior to (D7-D1)/D1, T-QMLT D7, M-QMLT D7, (TD3-TD1)/TD1 and (D3-D1)/D1 [AUC was 0.821 (0.725-0.917), 0.692 (0.582-0.802), 0.683 (0.573-0.794), 0.680 (0.569-0.791), 0.622 (0.502-0.742)]. Conclusions:For septic patients in ICU, bedside ultrasound monitoring of quadriceps femoris muscle thickness and atrophy rate has a certain predictive value for in-hospital mortality, and a certain guiding significance in clinical treatment and predicting the prognosis of sepsis.

Objective:To understand the incidence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) of elderly patients with subjective memory impairment and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A total of 322 patients with subjective memory impairment in elderly frail cognitive management clinic in General Hospital of Chinese PLA were selected by the convenient sampling method. According to the 2018 Diagnostic Criteria for Diagnosis and Treatment of Dementia and Cognitive Impairment in China, the subjects were divided into the MCI group and the non-MCI group. Demographic data, physiological factors, psychological factors, lifestyle and nutritional status of patients were collected using self-designed questionnaires. The Barthel Index Rating Scale was used to assess activity of daily living, 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was used to assess depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7) was used to to assess anxiety. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to assess sleep disturbances and Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF) was used to assess nutritional status. Univariate analysis and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of MCI in patients. Results:Among the 322 elderly patients with subjective memory impairment, 173 (53.73%) had MCI and 149 (46.27%) were non-MCI patients. Binomial Logistic regression analysis showed that reading habits, housework, social interaction, anxiety, age, depression, and sleep disturbance were the influencing factors of MCI in the elderly with subjective memory impairment ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of MCI in elderly patients with subjective memory impairment is relatively high. The cognitive management clinic should comprehensively evaluate and analyze the influencing factors of such patients and assist patients to establish a healthy lifestyle according to their personal conditions, so as to improve their cognitive status.

Objectives:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and identify the risk factors for death.Methods:The clinical data of 60 patients undergoing ECPR admitted to our hospital and Hangzhou First People's Hospital from September 2014 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the survival group and the death group. The clinical data of the two groups were compared to explore the risk factors related to death. COX regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for death.Results:Sixty patients undergoing ECPR were included in our study, of them, 16 (26.7%) cases were out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and 44 (73.3%) cases were in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). The mortality of OHCA patients was higher than that of IHCA patients (87.5% vs. 56.89%, P < 0.05), and the duration from CPR to ECMO installation in the death group was longer than that in the survival group [(105.4±105.1) min vs. (53.0±28.5) min, P < 0.05]. Compared with the survival group, patients in the death group had higher troponin and glutamic oxalacetic transaminase and lower PH and lactate ( P < 0.05). The median survival time of the 60 patients was 42 days. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, high SOFA score before ECMO, high-dose norepinephrine, pulmonary infection during ECMO support and long ECMO support time were independent predictors of patients’ death. Conclusions:Risk factors associated with patients’ death undergoing ECPR are out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, high SOFA score before ECMO, high-dose norepinephrine, long duration from CPR to ECMO installation, pulmonary infection during ECMO support and long ECMO support time.
