Objective To explore the effect of multimodal exercise combined with enteral nutrition dur-ing radiotherapy in the patients with esophageal cancer complicating diabetes.Methods A total of 52 patients with esophageal cancer complicating diabetes in Zhejiang Provincial Tumor Hospital from January to Decem-ber 2021 were selected as the study subjects and divided into the control group(n=27)and intervention group(n=25)by using the random number table method.The control group implemented the routine exercise scheme,while the intervention group was given the multimodal exercise intervention on the basis of routine exercise.The blood glucose metabolism indicators,related biochemical indicators during radiotherapy and the incidence rate of adverse events during exercise were compared between the two groups.Results The levels of fasting blood glucose,random blood glucose and blood glucose before sleep in the intervention group during radiotherapy were(7.79±1.61)mmol/L,(9.47±1.77)mmol/L and(9.97±3.02)mmol/L,which were lower than(11.84±3.47)mmol/L,(14.18±5.42)mmol/L and(14.62±3.83)mmol/L in the control group with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).During the radiotherapy period,the levels of albumin,total protein and prealbumin in the intervention group were(37.96±2.13)g/L,(68.13±5.02)g/L and(232.89±41.11)g/L,which were lower than(36.05±2.89)g/L,(64.96±5.95)g/L and(207.76±47.59)g/L in the control group with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The incidence rates of adverse e-vents such as falls,hypoglycemia and accidental extubation during multimodal exercise in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The multimodal exercise could significantly improve the nutritional status during radiotherapy in the patients with esophageal cancer complicating diabetes,stabilize the blood glucose level of the patients,and has good feasibility and safety.

Objective:To construct a diabetes foot prediction model for adult patients with type 2 diabetes based on retrospective cohort study using data from a regional health data platform.Methods:Using Yinzhou Health Information Platform of Ningbo, adult patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2022 were included in this study and divided randomly the train and test sets according to the ratio of 7∶3. LASSO regression model and bidirectional stepwise regression model were used to identify risk factors, and model comparisons were conducted with net reclassification index, integrated discrimination improvement and concordance index. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models were constructed, and a nomogram plot was drawn. Area under the curve (AUC) was calculated as a discriminant evaluation indicator for model validation test its calibration ability, and calibration curves were drawn to test its calibration ability.Results:No significant difference existed between LASSO regression model and bidirectional stepwise regression model, but the better bidirectional stepwise regression model was selected as the final model. The risk factors included age of onset, gender, hemoglobin A1c, estimated glomerular filtration rate, taking angiotensin receptor blocker and smoking history. AUC values (95% CI) of risk outcome prediction at year 5 and 7 were 0.700 (0.650-0.749) and 0.715(0.668-0.762) for the train set and 0.738 (0.667-0.801) and 0.723 (0.663-0.783) for the test set, respectively. The calibration curves were close to the ideal curve, and the model discrimination and calibration powers were both good. Conclusions:This study established a convenient prediction model for diabetic foot and classified the risk levels. The model has strong interpretability, good discrimination power, and satisfactory calibration and can be used to predict the incidence of diabetes foot in adult patients with type 2 diabetes to provide a basis for self-assessment and clinical prediction of diabetic foot disease risk.

Objective:To develop a prediction model for the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:Patients with new diagnosis of T2DM recorded in Yinzhou Regional Health Information Platform between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2022 were included in the study. The predictor variables were selected by using Lasso-Cox proportional hazards regression model. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to establish the prediction model for the risk of DR. Bootstrap method (500 resamples) was used for internal validation, and the performance of the model was assessed by C-index, the receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC), and calibration curve.Results:The predictor variables included in the final model were age of T2DM onset, education level, fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin A1c, urinary albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and history of lipid-lowering agent and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor uses. The C-index of the final model was 0.622, and the mean corrected C-index was 0.623 (95% CI: 0.607-0.634). The AUC values for predicting the risk of DR after 3, 5, and 7 years were 0.631, 0.620, and 0.624, respectively, with a high degree of overlap of the calibration curves with the ideal curves. Conclusion:In this study, a simple and practical risk prediction model for DR risk prediction was developed, which could be used as a reference for individualized DR screening and intervention in newly diagnosed T2DM patients.

Objective:To construct a risk prediction model for diabetes kidney disease (DKD).Methods:Patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2022, were selected as study subjects from the Yinzhou Regional Health Information Platform in Ningbo City. The Lasso method was used to screen the risk factors, and the DKD risk prediction model was established using Cox proportional hazard regression models. Bootstrap 500 resampling was applied for internal validation.Results:The study included 49 706 subjects, with an median ( Q1, Q3) age of 60.00 (50.00, 68.00) years old, and 55% were male. A total of 4 405 subjects eventually developed DKD. Age at first diagnosis of T2DM, BMI, education level, fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin A1c, urinary albumin, past medical history (hyperuricemia, rheumatic diseases), triglycerides, and estimated glomerular filtration rate were included in the final model. The final model's C-index was 0.653, with an average of 0.654 after Bootstrap correction. The final model's area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting 4-year, 5-year, and 6-year was 0.657, 0.659, and 0.664, respectively. The calibration curve was closely aligned with the ideal curve. Conclusions:This study constructed a DKD risk prediction model for newly diagnosed T2DM patients based on real-world data that is simple, easy to use, and highly practical. It provides a reliable basis for screening high-risk groups for DKD.

Objective To discuss the clinical efficacy and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy(HAIC)combined with carrelizumab and sorafenib in treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The clinical data of 36 HCC patients,who were admitted to the Affiliated Nantong Third Hospital of Nantong University of China to receive HAIC combined with carrelizumab and sorafenib from August 2019 to August 2020,were collected.According to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(mRECIST),the objective response rate(ORR)and disease control rate(DCR)of the combination therapy were evaluated.The Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events Version 5.0 developed by American National Cancer Institute was used to evaluate the clinical safety.Results After receiving 4 cycles of FOLFOX-HAIC,the ORR and DCR of the patients were 38.9％and 77.8％respectively.The patients were followed up for 30 months.The median progression-free survival(mPFS)was 306 days(95％CI:242.7-369.3),and the median overall survival(mOS)was 515 days(95％CI:2 482.5-547.5).After HAIC treatment,one patient was successfully changed to surgical operation.The overall incidence of adverse events were 100％.There were 9 adverse events(25％)above grade m,including severe abdominal pain(n=2,5.6％),nausea(n=1,2.8％),vomiting(n=1,2.8％),elevated alanine aminotransferase(n=3,8.3％),elevated aspartate aminotransferase(n=1,2.8％),and death due to pulmonary failure caused by severe immune-induced pneumonia(n=1,2.8％).Conclusion For the treatment of advanced HCC,HAIC combined with carrelizumab and sorafenib has better ORR and DCR with controllable safety,which provides a new option for the treatment of advanced HCC.However,studies with large sample size need to be conducted before its long-term survival benefit of patients can be further validated.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective:To summarize the best evidence for exercise intervention in elderly patients with sarcopenia in intensive care unit (ICU) through literature search, and provide a reference for clinical implementation of early exercise intervention in this population through evidence-based practice.Methods:① Summary of best evidence: relevant literature on exercise intervention for elderly patients with sarcopenia in ICU, including guideline, evidence summary, expert consensus, systematic review, and original study [quasi-experiment and randomized controlled trial (RCT)] from UpToDate Clinical Advisor, Ovid database, National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC), National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), Cochrane Library, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PubMed/Medline, SinoMed, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP, and Yimai Tong Guideline Network were systematically searched. The search period covered from the establishment of these databases up to August 24, 2023. The quality of the literature was evaluated by two researchers with methodological expertise in evidence-based medicine, and the evidences were extracted and summarized. ② Evidence-based practice: the elderly patients with high risk of sarcopenia who had been hospitalized in the ICU for more than 7 days from January to April 2024 were enrolled as the research subjects, and they were divided into a control group and an intervention group using convenience sampling method. The control group received routine intensive care nursing. The intervention group implemented exercise intervention based on the actual situation of the patients, the baseline review was conducted before evidence application, and the effectiveness of evidence application at 7 days and 14 days was evaluated.Results:① A total of 19 pieces of literature were included, including 4 guidelines, 1 summary of evidence, 4 expert consensuses, 4 systematic reviews, and 6 original studies (1 quasi-experiment, 5 RCT). After literature quality evaluation, all 19 articles were enrolled. Finally, 31 pieces of best evidence were extracted from eight aspects, including assessment and diagnosis, multidisciplinary cooperation, indication, preparation before intervention, intervention program, safety monitoring, post-intervention evaluation, and special task. ② Finally, a total of 30 patients were enrolled in the intervention group, of which 17 completed 14 days of rehabilitation exercise, and 13 completed 7 days of rehabilitation exercise. Twenty-seven patients were enrolled in the control group, of which 17 completed 14 days of monitoring, and 10 completed 7 days of monitoring. Clinical evidence application results showed that the patients in the intervention group did not experience adverse events such as increased heart rate, extubation, or physical discomfort. The skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) in both groups was gradually decreased with the prolongation of intervention duration, but the 7-day SMI in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group (kg/m 2: 8.61±2.66 vs. 6.65±1.50, P < 0.01). Conclusion:By summarizing the best evidence and evidence-based practice of exercise intervention for elderly patients with sarcopenia in ICU, this study confirmed the feasibility due to safe and effective of implementing early exercise intervention for elderly sarcopenia patients in ICU.

Objective:To investigate the surgical treatment of mesh infection after lapa-roscopic inguinal hernia repair.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 32 patients with mesh infection after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair who were admitted to the Affiliated Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2018 to December 2020 were collected. There were 30 males and 2 females, aged 59(range, 19-81)years. All patients underwent debridement. Observation indicators: (1) surgical and postopera-tive situations; (2) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between was conducted using Fisher exact probability. Results:(1) Surgical and postoperative situations. All 32 patients underwent debridement success-fully, with the operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss as 110(range, 45-220)minutes and 24(range, 5-200)mL. Of the 32 patients, there were 6 cases undergoing open debridement, 26 cases undergoing laparoscopic exploration with 12 cases clarified the cause of infection, in which 4 cases had intestinal fistula by mesh infection breaking through the peritoneum and invading the intestinal tract and underwent laparoscopic intestinal fistula repair, 3 cases had significant amount of residual medical glue, 3 cases had mesh wrinkling and curling, 2 cases underwent peritoneum suturing with black silk thread. There were 18 cases undergoing complete removal of infected mesh and 14 cases undergoing partial mesh removal. There were 18 cases undergoing removal of infected mesh by laparoscopic posterior approach and 14 cases undergoing removal of infected mesh by open anterior approach. Twenty-nine of the 32 patients had bacterial culture and drug allergy testing, including 24 cases with positive cultures, while 5 cases with negative cultures. The duration of hospital stay of the 32 patients was 27.0(range, 9.0-85.0)days. (2) Follow-up. All 32 patients were followed up for 37.9(range, 18.7-52.5)months. There were 5 cases and 2 cases with postoperative incision infection in the 18 patients undergoing complete removal of infected mesh and 14 cases undergoing partial mesh removal, respectively, showing no significant difference between them ( P>0.05). There were 7 cases, 4 cases with seroma, recurrent sinus in the 18 patients undergoing complete removal of infected mesh and 5 cases, 6 cases in the 14 cases undergoing partial mesh removal, respectively, showing no significant difference between them ( P>0.05). None of patient in the two groups had hematoma, recurrent inguinal hernia or chronic pain. The 7 patients with incision infec-tion recovered effectively after symptomatic treatment. The 12 patients with seroma received no special treatment. The 10 patients with recurrent sinus underwent debridement, in which 9 cases did not experience any further abdominal wall infections and 1 case underwent the third debride-ment. Conclusion:The management of mesh infection following laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair necessitates the expertise of hernia specialists to complete remove the infected mesh or partial remove the infected mesh based on the specific clinical scenario.

Objective:To retrospectively compare the clinical efficacy of two PDE3 inhibitors, oplinone and Milrinone, in order to evaluate which drug has better effects on the improvement of cardiac function, protection of renal function and adverse effects of arrhythmia.Methods:A total of 41 neonates with congenital heart disease after biventricular treatment under cardiopulmonary bypass in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Soochow University Children's Hospital during 2018-2022 were collected. The experimental group was divided into two groups: Oprilinone(25 cases) and Milinone(16 cases). A retrospective study was conducted on the incidence of renal function, cardiac function improvement and arrhythmia in the children.Results:On the first day after operation, EF in both groups decreased significantly compared with that before operation( P<0.01); On day 4 after surgery, EF in the oprilinone group was significantly higher than that on day 1 after surgery( P<0.01), Milrinone group was slightly higher than that on day 1 after surgery( P<0.05), and EF in oprilinone group was significantly higher than that in Milinone group during the same period( P<0.01); EF in Milinone group continued to increase on day 7 compared with day 4( P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between the two groups. Long-term follow-up showed that there was no significant difference in EF value in the oprilinone intervention group on day 7 after surgery( P<0.05), and the long-term EF in Milinone group was higher than that at 7 days after surgery( P<0.05). The creatinine level in the oprinone intervention group continued to decrease on the 4th and 7th day after surgery( P<0.01; P<0.05); The creatinine level of Milinone group on day 4 after surgery was significantly lower than that on day 1 after surgery( P<0.01), the decrease was not significant on the 7th day after surgery compared with the 4th day after surgery; The creatinine level in the oprilinone group was lower than that in the Milrinone group on day 7 after surgery( P<0.05). The rate of arrhythmia in children was slightly decreased in the intervention group of olplinone. There was no change in the Milinone group. Conclusion:Oplinone improved cardiac function better than Milrinone, and the recovery time to normal cardiac function was shorter. In terms of renal function protection, oplinone was stronger than Milrinone, and the protective effect of oplinone on kidney lasted longer. No significant abnormalities were found with respect to adverse reactions, such as the incidence of arrhythmia.

Objective To investigate the effect of metformin on liver fibrosis in a mouse model of Budd-Chiari syndrome and its mechanism. Methods A total of 30 male C57 mice were randomly divided into sham-operation group (SHAM group) with 6 mice, sham operation+ metformin group (SHAM+M group) with 5 mice, Budd-Chiari model group (BCS group) with 10 mice, and Budd-Chiari model+metformin group (BCS+M group) with 9 mice. The mice in the model group were treated with partial ligation of the inferior vena cava, those in the SHAM group were not treated with ligation, and those in the metformin group were given 0.1% metformin in drinking water besides modeling. The mice were sacrificed after 6 weeks. HE staining and picrosirius red staining were used to observe liver histopathology and collagen deposition; immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and fibrinogen; quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and type Ⅰ collagen (collagen 1), and Western blot was used to measure the relative protein expression levels of HIF-1α, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibrinogen, α-SMA, and collagen 1. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t -test was used for further comparison between two groups. Results Pathological staining showed that compared with the SHAM group, the BCS group had significant liver fibrosis, disordered arrangement of hepatocytes near the central vein, sinusoidal expansion with red blood cell deposition and a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration, and collagen deposition. The BCS group had significant increases in the mRNA expression levels of HIF-1α and collagen 1 and the protein expression levels of α-SMA, collagen 1, HIF-1α, VEGF, and fibrinogen (all P < 0.05); compared with the BCS group, the BCS+M group had significant alleviation of liver fibrosis, red blood cell deposition, and collagen deposition and significant reductions in the mRNA expression levels of HIF-1α and collagen 1 and the protein expression levels of α-SMA, collagen 1, HIF-1α, VEGF, and fibrinogen (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Metformin can improve congestive liver fibrosis caused by Budd-Chiari syndrome, possibly by reducing microthrombus in hepatic sinusoid and inhibiting the HIF-1α/VEGF pathway.
