Objective:
To examine the relationship between self-management behaviors and time perspective among patients with comorbid diabetes, so as to provide the evidence for improving self-management behaviors among patients with comorbid diabetes.
Methods:
The patients with comorbid diabetes who were registered in the chronic disease health management system of Minhang District, Shanghai Municipality in 2021, followed up regularly, and lived in Meilong Town were recruited. Demographic information and family history of diabetes were collected through questionnaire surveys. Time perspective and self-management behaviors were assessed using the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory and Diabetes Self-Management Behavior Scale, respectively. The relationship between self-management behaviors and time perspective was analyzed using a multivariable ordinal logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 907 patients with comorbid diabetes were enrolled, including 472 males (52.04%) and 435 females (47.96%). There were 652 cases aged 65 years and above, accounting for 71.89%. In terms of the types of time perspective, 280 patients were future-oriented (30.87%), 236 were balanced (26.02%), 162 were sensation-seeking (17.86%), 123 were fatalistic (13.56%), and 106 were negative (11.69%). In terms of the self-management behaviors, 46 patients were good (5.07%), 643 were moderate (70.89%), and 218 were poor (24.04%). Multivariable ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, educational level, marital status, occupation status, monthly income, and family history of diabetes, the patients with comorbid diabetes who had a future-oriented time perspective had better self-management behaviors (OR=1.874, 95%CI: 1.204-2.915).
Conclusion
The self-management behaviors among patients with comorbid diabetes are moderate to poor, and patients with a future-oriented time perspective can better engage in self-management behaviors.

ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence of hypertension and its influencing factors in community-dwellers at risk for high blood pressure in Minhang District of Shanghai, and to provide scientific evidence for the community management. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted using the electronic health records of community-dwellers at risk for high blood pressure in Minhang District, Shanghai from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2017. The study end-point was the occurrence of hypertension,and the followup was finished in December 2021. A total of 17 265 community-dwellers at risk for high blood pressure were enrolled in our study. Log-rank test and Cox regression analysis were used to determine the influencing factors. ResultsAfter 6.04 years of follow-up, the hypertension incidence among community-dwellers at risk for high blood pressure in Minhang District of Shanghai was 25.5%. Family history of hypertension (HR=1.250, 95%CI: 1.168‒1.338), family history of stroke (HR=1.295, 95%CI: 1.080‒1.553), history of diabetes (HR=1.203, 95%CI: 1.076‒1.345), daily smoking (HR=1.187, 95%CI: 1.087‒1.296), overweight (HR=1.393, 95%CI:1.308‒1.484), obesity(HR=1.903, 95%CI: 1.719‒2.106), high values of normal blood pressure (HR=1.275, 95%CI: 1.195‒1.359) and advanced age (HR=1.033, 95%CI: 1.030‒1.036) were all risk factors. Emaciation (HR=0.649, 95%CI: 0.500‒0.840) was a protective factors. ConclusionBlood pressure monitoring should be strengthened for people elderly, with family history of hypertension, family history of stroke, diabetes or high values of normal blood pressure, so as to diagnose hypertension early. Timely intervention measures should be taken for community-dwellers with unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking, overweight and obesity.

【Objective】 To investigate the reasonable serological detection method by analyzing the characteristics of anti-K and anti-Wra from a patient who received treatment with daratumumab. 【Methods】 Unexpected antibody screening and identification were performed by saline method, polybrene, cardioagglutinin, dithiothreitol (DTT) treatment, trypsin treatment and papain treatment in the patient's plasma and acid elution solution. Heat elution test was detected after absorbing patient serum with K antigen negative red blood cells. The characteristics of antibodies were analyzed and their titer was continuously detected. Cross matching was performed after excluding interference of daratumumab. 【Results】 Anti-K and anti-Wra were detected in saline and polybrene in the patient's plasma. The patient's elution solution contained daratumumab. DTT or trypsin treatment excluded interference of daratumumab but papain treatment did not. DTT treatment destroyed K antigen and missed the detection of IgG antibodies in the Kell system. Trypsin treatment did not affect K antigen and can detect IgG antibodies of Kell system(anti-k)in the serum of the patient treated with daratumumab. Anti K was IgM and the titer was 4 by saline method and it decreased to no agglutination in room temperature after 39 days. Anti-Wra was IgG and the titer by polybrene method was 4, and it decreased to 1 after 39 days. After 76 days, neither anti-K nor anti-Wra could be detected. Transfusions of K and Wra antigen negative red blood cells were safe and effective. 【Conclusion】 DTT treatment can exclude interference of daratumumab, but attention should be paid to missed detection of anti-K. To avoid interference of daratumumab and identify unexpected antibody, multiple methods such as DTT treatment, polybrene and trypsin treatment in combination are recommended.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of oral midazolam solution for preoperative sedation in the pediatric outpatients undergoing root canal treatment under general anesthesia.Methods:One hundred and forty-seven pediatric patients of either sex, aged 2-7 yr, weighing 10-30 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classificationⅠ or Ⅱ, were divided into 3 groups ( n=49 each) using a random number table method: oral midazolam solution group (OM group), midazolam injection group (M group), and dexmedetomidine group (D group). In OM group, patients received oral midazolam solution at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg along with a placebo (an equivalent amount of normal saline based on body weight) administered via nasal drops. In M group, patients were given oral midazolam injection at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg along with a placebo via nasal drops. In D group, patients were administered a placebo orally along with dexmedetomidine at a dose of 2 μg/kg via nasal drops. The Induction Compliance Checklist (ICC) scores upon entering the operating room, sedation success rates (ICC score ≤ 3), drug acceptance scores, mask acceptance scores, and separation anxiety scores were recorded. The emergence time, time of stay in postanesthesia care unit (PACU), and occurrence of adverse events such as bradycardia, hypotension, hypoxemia, and laryngospasm during surgery and in PACU were recorded. Results:A total of 143 pediatric patients were finally included in the study, with 48 cases in OM group, 48 cases in M group and 47 cases in D group. Compared with M and D groups, the ICC scores upon entry to the operating room were significantly decreased, the sedation success rates were increased, drug acceptance scores were increased, separation anxiety scores were decreased, and mask acceptance scores were decreased in OM group ( P<0.05). Compared with D group, the ICC scores upon entry to the operating room were significantly decreased, the sedation success rates were increased, and mask acceptance scores were decreased in M group ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the emergence time, time of stay in PACU, and incidence of adverse events during surgery and in PACU among the three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Oral midazolam solution provides good effect with less adverse reactions when used for preoperative sedation in the pediatric outpatients undergoing root canal treatment under general anesthesia.

AIM: To observe the changes of macular retinal structure and microcirculation in patients with pituitary adenoma(PA)by optical coherence tomography(OCT)and optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA).METHODS: Cross-sectional study. A total of 40 PA patients treated at the department of neurosurgery, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from September 2021 to March 2023 were included as PA group, and 42 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers were selected as normal control group. All patients underwent visual field, OCT and OCTA examinations, and the correlation of ocular parameters in PA patients was analyzed.RESULTS:The vessel density(VD)of each retinal layer in the macular area of the PA group was lower than that of the normal control group, and the superficial vascular complex(SVC)-VD in the macular area was positively correlated with the thickness of the macular ganglion cell complex(mGCC)(except the nasal side of the inner ring and the lower part of the outer ring; P<0.05). The thickness of mGCC in each quadrant of the macular area and the thickness of the circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer(CP-RNFL)in each quadrant were negatively correlated with the mean defect(MD)value of the visual field(P<0.05), and the area of the foveal avascular zone(FAZ)was positively correlated with the MD value(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The combination of OCT and OCTA can fully understand the microscopic changes of retinal structure and microcirculation function in PA patients, which is of great value in evaluating the preoperative visual function of PA patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the cumulative incidence of diabetes mellitus and its influencing factors among the diabetes mellitus high-risk groups in Minhang District of Shanghai, and to provide a basis for the development of community-based diabetes mellitus early prevention and treatment strategies in Shanghai. MethodsThe data of this study were collected from the screening project of diabetes mellitus high-risk groups in Minhang District of Shanghai, which was carried out from 2016‒2017. A total of 12 278 people were screened, of which 10 442 were at high risk based on the results of blood glucose diagnosis except those with diabetes. People diagnosed with abnormal fasting blood glucose, impaired fasting blood glucose and abnormal glucose tolerance were classified into the abnormal blood glucose group, and those with normal fasting blood glucose were classified into the normal blood glucose group. In 2023, the cumulative incidence of diabetes mellitus in the 2 groups was followed up, furthermore, the influencing factors of diabetes mellitus were analyzed. ResultsA total of 8 774 cases within the high-risk groups were followed up in 2023, of which 808 cases progressed to diabetes. Of the 8 774 cases, the cumulative incidence of diabetes mellitus in the abnormal blood glucose group (n=2 163) was 16.37% (354/2 163), and that in the normal blood glucose group (n=6 611) was 6.87% (454/6 611), and the difference in cumulative incidence of diabetes mellitus between the 2 groups was statistically significant (χ2=175.88, P<0.001). A history of impaired glucose regulation (OR=2.828, 95%CI: 2.177‒3.675), family history of type 2 diabetes (OR=1.294, 95%CI: 1.047‒1.600), hypertension (OR=1.268, 95%CI: 1.083‒1.485), dyslipidemia (OR=1.205, 95%CI: 1.003‒1.448), overweight/obesity (OR=1.526, 95%CI: 1.300‒1.792) were positively correlated with the cumulative incidence of type 2 diabetes, while female gender (OR=0.785, 95%CI: 0.675‒0.914) and sedentary lifestyle (OR=0.506, 95%CI: 0.374‒0.685) were negatively correlated with the cumulative incidence of type 2 diabetes. ConclusionBlood glucose monitoring should be strengthened in diabetes mellitus high-risk groups with an impaired glucose regulation history, a family history of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, so as to achieve early detection of diabetes. Timely intervention measures should be taken for high-risk population with unhealthy lifestyle or overweight/obesity.

Objective:To summarize the clinical manifestations and prognostic factors of patients with hepatic amyloidosis in a single center.Methods:The clinical data of 28 primary systemic light chain amyloidosis cases with liver involvement in our center from October 2012 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The main clinical manifestations and prognostic factors were studied. Statistical analysis were performed using the χ 2 test, Fisher's exact test, Wilcoxon rank test, or Kaplan-Meier survival curve log-rank test according to the different data. Results:The main clinical manifestations of patients with liver involvement were abdominal distension, hepatomegaly, and edema. CD56 and chemokine receptor 4 protein expression accounted for 52% (13/25) and 56% (14/25). 64.3% (9/14) patients were combined with t (11,14), and 21.4% (3/14) patients were positive for 1q21 (+), and no patients were detected with del(17p). Univariate analysis showed that Mayo 2004 and 2012 stages and total bilirubin (TBil) ≥34.2 μmol/L were associated with progression-free survival and overall survival. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were significantly inferior in patients with TBil≥34.2μmol/L group (0.178 years, 0.195 years) than with the TBil<34.2μmol/L group (0.750 years, 3.586 years) ( P ?0.05). Conclusion:Mayo stage and hyperbilirubinemia are inferior prognostic factors for patients with primary systemic light chain amyloidosis accompanied with liver involvement.

An important issue facing university education is the adaptation and transformation of freshmen.In order to guide students to adapt to the needs of research-based learning,Jilin University has opened a freshman seminar for all first-year undergraduate students,emphasizing the cultivation of students'thinking patterns and learning abilities.For medical students,it is necessary to ap-ply the learned medical knowledge to clinical problem analysis.Therefore,it is particularly important to cultivate students'integrated thinking from basic to clinical at the beginning of enrollment.In recent years,organ system integration has gradually been carried out in medical schools both domestically and internationally.In the course of integrating the immune system and diseases,the morphology of the immune system is relatively abstract and difficult to observe.In the early stages of enrollment,students still lack the thinking of organ system integration,and the initial stage of immune system integration courses is difficult to carry out.Therefore,we aimed to guide students towards adaptability and academic transformation through freshman seminars,explored the integration of the immune system's organ system as a pathway,and used the BOPPPS teaching model as a means for preliminary exploration.In the freshman seminar,the main focus is on the"morphology and structure-mechanism and function-disease-diagnosis-treatment"of the immune sys-tem,helping students establish a learning mindset that integrates disease diagnosis and treatment based on basic medical courses such as immunology and anatomy.Using BOPPPS to reform the"teaching"of teachers,establishing a student-centered teaching model from six aspects:bridge,objective,pre-assessment,participatory learning,post-assessment and summary,can better guide students to actively think and participate in the entire learning process,focus on the construction of students'fragmented knowledge thinking mode,internalize medical humanities literacy,and improve the quality of medical talent cultivation in colleges and universities.
