Objective:To investigate the relationship between prolonged PR interval and carotid atherosclerosis(CAS)in middle-aged and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods:A total of 537 middle-aged and elderly inpatients with T2DM in the Southern Branch of the Sixth People′s Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University from January 2019 to January 2021 were selected as the research objects. Color Doppler ultrasound was used to detect bilateral carotid artery intima-media thickness(CIMT). The subjects were divided into carotid atherosclerosis group(CAS group, n=352)and non-carotid atherosclerosis group(NCAS group, n=185). The difference in the PR interval of ECG between the two groups was compared. Pearson or Spearman rank correlation analysis was used for evaluating the correlation of PR interval and CAS lesions with various clinical index. The relationship between PR interval and CAS lesions was adopted by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results:The average PR interval of middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM was(164.57±23.02)ms. The average PR interval in CAS group was significantly higher than that in NCAS group [(169.76±24.28) vs (154.70±16.42)ms, P<0.01]. The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that age, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, serum osteocalcin, and PR interval were independent factors influencing the development of CAS lesions in middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM( OR=1.079, 1.936, 0.879, 1.039, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01)where each 1 ms increase in PR interval was associated with a 3.9% increase in the risk of CAS in middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM( OR=1.039, 95% CI 1.006-1.073, P=0.020). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that middle-aged and elderly type 2 diabetic patients with PR interval≥158 ms were 4.072 times more likely to have CAS lesions than those with PR interval<158 ms( OR=4.072, 95% CI 1.417-11.702, P<0.01). Conclusion:The PR interval of electrocardiogram is correlated with CAS lesions in middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM. Middle-aged and elderly type 2 diabetic patients with significantly prolonged PR interval should be reminded to screen for CAS lesions early.

Objective:To explore the current status of central venous catheter (CVC) maintenance knowledge, attitude and practice among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses, and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From March to May 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 445 ICU nurses from 9 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Anhui Province as the research object. The self-designed General Information Questionnaire and CVC Maintenance Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Questionnaire for ICU Nurses were used to investigate the nurses. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the influencing factors of CVC maintenance knowledge, attitude and practice among ICU nurses. A total of 445 questionnaires were distributed, 11 invalid questionnaires were excluded, and 434 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the valid recovery rate was 97.5%.Results:Among 434 ICU nurses, the scores of CVC maintenance knowledge, attitude, and practice dimensions were (22.14±3.16) , (37.31±3.28) , and (75.65±6.35) , respectively. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that hospital category and CVC training times were the influencing factors of ICU nurses' CVC maintenance knowledge ( P<0.05) . CVC training times, educational background, ICU working years, and ICU category were the influencing factors of ICU nurses' CVC maintenance attitude ( P<0.05) . ICU working years, CVC training times, professional title and hospital category were the influencing factors of ICU nurses' CVC maintenance practice ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:ICU nurses have a good attitude to CVC maintenance, but the level of knowledge and practice needs to be improved. Nursing managers should focus on ICU nurses with low educational background, short ICU working years, low professional titles, non-teaching hospitals and few trainings, strengthen relevant knowledge training, increase the level of CVC maintenance practice, and then improve the quality of nursing.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for duodenal accessory papilla.Methods:Data of 122 cases of duodenal accessory papilla diagnosed by EUS at the endoscopy center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from February 28, 2006 to February 28, 2018 were analyzed and summarized.Results:Of the 122 duodenal accessory papilla cases, the age was 52.1±12.9, with more males than females. The most common site of duodenal accessory papillae was the descending part above the papilla (88/122, 72.13%), followed by the junction of duodenal bulb and descending part (29/122, 23.77%), and a small proportion of lesions located in the duodenal bulb (5/122, 4.10%). Duodenal accessory papillae were all solitary, whose diameter mostly ranged 0.5-1.0 cm (88/122, 72.13%), a smaller proportion of diameter larger than 1.0 cm (23/122, 18.85%), and only a few with diameter less than 0.5 cm (11/122, 9.02%). Most duodenal accessory papillae were hypoechoic (71/122, 58.20%) or moderate to low echogenic (35/122, 28.68%), and the echoes were mostly homogeneous. The mucosa layer was smooth, with a sphincteroid structure in the submucosa and below. The boundary of the duodenal accessory papillae was mostly clear (121/122, 99.18%) and characteristic lacunar cavity structures were often seen in the center (83/122, 68.03%). The surrounding intestinal wall was normal and no associated enlarged lymph nodes were found around the intestine.Conclusion:EUS can clearly show the structure of duodenal accessory papilla and adjacent organs, and is of high value for the diagnosis of duodenal accessory papilla.

Objective Metabolites produced by metabolic imbalance such as free fatty acids and lipopolysaccharides can result in a state of chronic low-grade inflammation, or metabolic inflammation, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and obesity. The above metabolic disorders are closely related with the metabolic inflammation, which always coexist. Therefore, we proposed the concept ofmetabolic inflammatory syndrome ( MIS). According to our study, patients with two or more metabolic disorders above could be diagnosed as MIS. The current research is aimed to investigate the prevalence of MIS and its components, and to compare the clinical values of MIS and metabolic syndrome ( MS) . Methods 2 001 in patients with type 2 diabetes from 6 hospitals in Shanghai were recruited in the current multi-center cross-sectional study. The diagnostic rates of MIS and MS and their components of both syndromes were compared. Results In the patients with type 2 diabetes, the detective rate of MIS was 96. 2%, which was higher than that of MS (71. 3%). Among 4 components of MIS, atherosclerosis showed the highest detective rate (75.6%). MIS[OR=2.252(95%CI1.026-4.942),P=0.043],atherosclerosis[OR=2.726(95% CI1.953-3. 804),P<0. 001], and MS[OR=1. 915 (95%CI 1. 444-2. 540),P<0. 01] were the risk factors of coronary heart disease. Conclusion With atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and obesity as its 4 components, MIS has a high detective rate in patients with metabolic disorders, and seems to be more sensitive than MS to distinguish inflammation-related metabolic diseases. The concept of MIS will promote the screening and prevention of atherosclerosis in its early stage.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of serum anti-Saccharomyces cerevisias antibody (ASCA),anti-outer membrane porin C (anti-OmpC),antibody to Pseudomonas fluorescens-associated sequence I2 (anti-I2 )and antibody to bacterial flagellin (anti-CBirl )in the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Methods From 2011 to 2013,87 patients with IBD were enrolled and divided into Crohn′s disease (CD)group (66 cases)and ulcerative colitis (UC)group (21 cases).A total of 62 age and gender matched healthy individuals were enrolled as the control group. Fasting blood samples (2 mL)of the subjects were collected.The expression of ASCA,anti-OmpC,anti-I2 and anti-Cbirl antibodies was detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)kits.The diagnosis value of each antibody in IBD and the differential diagnostic value of in UC and CD were compared by receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve.Results The area under the curve (AUC)of ASCA between IBD and the healthy control group,between CD group and UC group was 0.580 and 0.512, respectively;the accuracy in diagnosis was low.The AUC of anti-CBirl between IBD and the healthy control group was 0.617.There was no differential diagnosis significance of the other antibodies.The positive rate of ASCA in IBD group was 62.1 % (54/87),which was significantly higher than that in the control group (38.7%,24/62).The positive rates of anti-OmpC and anti-I2 in IBD group was significantly lower than those in the control group and the differences were statistically significant (both P <0.05).No difference was observed in positive rates of serum antibodies among the others groups (all P >0.05).The specificity,sensitivity,positive predictive value (PPV)and negative predictive value (NPV)of ASCA in differential diagnosis of CD and UC was 52.4%,66.7%,81 .48% and 33.33%,respectively.The specificity and sensitivity of anti-OmpC,anti-I2 and anti-CBirl in differential diagnosis of CD and UC was 81 .0% to 100.0% and 9.1 % to 37.9%,respectively.The specificity,sensitivity,PPV and NPV of double-positive ASCA and anti-I2 in the diagnosis of CD was 57.1 %,86.4%,82.6% and 50.0%, respectively.The positive rate of ASCA and anti-I2 in CD group was significantly higher than that in UC group (84.8%(56/66)vs 57.1 % (12/21 );χ2 =5 .633,P =0.018 ).Conclusions Positive ASCA has some significance in the diagnosis of patients with IBD in our country.The detection of anti-I2 can help to diagnose ASCA negative CD.Because of low sensitivity and positive rate,anti-OmpC and anti-CBirl have limited value in the diagnosis of IBD and the differential diagnosis of UC and CD in our country.
