		                        			Objective   To analyze the relationship between BMI, physical activity, resting heart rate and diabetes mellitus.   Methods  A total of 423 patients with diabetes admitted to the Department of endocrinology of our hospital from August 2017 to August 2020 were investigated by questionnaire and physical signs were examined, and the correlation between BMI, physical activity, resting heart rate and diabetes was analyzed.   Results   FPG, 2 h PG and HbA1c were positively correlated with resting heart rate, BMI and physical activity (P < 0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that BMI (OR = 2.121), elevated resting heart rate (OR = 1.619) and less physical activity (OR = 0.711) were risk factors for diabetes.   Conclusion   The increase of BMI and resting heart rate and the decrease of physical activity will increase the risk of diabetes. It is particularly important to prevent the increase of BMI and resting heart rate and increase the physical labor appropriately.

		                        			Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of different antimicrobial regimens in patients with bloodstream infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP).Methods The clinical date of patients with CRKP bloodstream infections were retrospectively analyzed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University Medical College between January 2017 and January 2018.All subjects were separated into three groups based on antibiotics regimens over 72 hours,including meropenem 2.0 g every 8 hours,tigecycline 200 mg as initial dose and 100 mg every 12 hours,and polymyxin B 1.25 mg/kg every 12 hours as salvage treatment of tigecycline.Results A total of 86 patients were finally recruited,including 14,52 and 20 patients in groups of meropenem,tigecycline and polymyxin B salvage,respectively.All of the strains were resistant to meropenem and susceptible to tigecycline and polymyxin B initially,while 2 of them became resistant to tigecycline during treatment.The 28-day mortality was significantly higher in meropenem group (13/14) than that in tigecycline group and polymyxin B salvage group (61.5%,32/52) and (12/20),respectively (P<0.01),while as no significant difference was seen in the last two groups (x2=0.014,P>0.05).The incidences of hepatic impairment [3.8%(2/52) vs.1/20] and renal dysfunction (0 vs.1/20) between tigecycline group and polymyxin B salvage group were both comparable (P>0.05).Conclusion The meropenem-based therapy is not recommended for CRKP-related bloodstream infections.Tigecycline-based therapy is still disappointing despite salvage use of polymyxin B after 72 hours.Hepatic and nephretic toxicities caused by additional polymyxin B are acceptable.

The operation time and the number of titanium nail and in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group:(8.9 ± 1.6) h vs. (12.4 ± 2.4) h, (10.3 ± 0.9) pieces vs. (11.8 ± 1.8) pieces, P < 0.01. The rate of postsurgery adverse reaction in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group: 0 vs. 9.8%(4/41), χ2 = 4.21, P < 0.05. Conclusions The operation of repairing skull defects and reconstructing temporal muscle attachment points with digital three-dimensional shaping titanium mesh is simple. It can shorten the operation time, decrease the postsurgery adverse reaction, and increase the appearance satisfaction.
