Characteristics of children and adolescents with newly diagnosed Fibrocalculous pancreatitis diabetes (FCPD) and type 1 diabetes: A study from Eastern India

Background and aimsWe aimed to identify clinical characteristics and biochemical parameters at presentation in newly diagnosed children and adolescents with Fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes (FCPD) and compare them with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) children.MethodologyA retrospective chart review yielded 226 patients (below 18 years) who presented and fulfilled diagnostic criteria of diabetes mellitus. Classification of diabetes was based on American Diabetes Association (ADA), World Health Organization (WHO), International Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD), and Mohan's criteria and all patients underwent abdominal X-ray.ResultsA total of 31 (13.7%) patients fulfilled criteria of FCPD and 63 (27.9%) of autoantibody positive T1D. When comparing FCPD with T1D at presentation, FCPD patients were older, 14.23 years vs 11.32 years. Fewer FCPD patients presented with Diabetic Ketoacidosis (3.2% vs 34.9%), osmotic symptoms (54.8% vs 93.7%) with significantly longer median duration of symptoms (4.0 vs 1.0 months) and had more abdominal pain (58.06% vs 6.3%) & diarrhoea (38.71% vs 1.6%) as compared to patients with T1D”. FCPD patients had higher c-peptide levels (median-0.85 vs 0.61) and required higher mean dose of insulin compared to T1D (1.16 U/kg vs 1.01 U/kg). At presentation fasting plasma glucose was significantly higher in T1D than FCPD, but no difference was noted in post prandial glucose and HbA1c.ConclusionThere is a significant difference in clinical characteristics and biochemical parameters at presentation between FCPD and T1D patients with a longer symptom duration but insidious course in the former. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report suitable cut-offs for age, c-peptide, duration of symptoms and insulin dose requirement which could be helpful for differentiating FCPD from T1DM patients.

目的探讨DNA连接酶Ⅳ(LIG4)综合征的临床特点。方法分析一例LIG4综合征病例的临床资料,对患儿及其父母进行二代高通量基因测序。结合文献总结该病的临床特点。结果本例患儿的临床表现有小头畸形,特殊面容,发育迟缓,免疫功能缺陷,反复呼吸道感染,慢性腹泻。基因检测结果显示患儿LIG4基因存在纯合性改变:c.833G>T(p.R278L),故诊断LIG4综合征。结合文献复习包括本研究在内的共42例LIG4综合征病例的临床特点。结论LIG4综合征临床特点主要有小头畸形,免疫功能缺陷,特殊面容,血细胞下降和发育迟缓。临床上反复呼吸道感染、小头畸形伴免疫缺陷患儿应警惕此病,基因检测可协助诊断。     

新冠肺炎疫情下失眠人群心理特征及失眠的相关因素

目的 调查新冠肺炎疫情下失眠人群的心理特征及失眠的相关因素，为改善失眠人群心理健康状况提供参考。方法 采用阿森斯失眠量表（AIS）于2020年1月-3月对某市居民进行测评，AIS评分>6分者为失眠组（n=216），AIS评分<4分者为非失眠组（n=105），采用症状自评量表（SCL-90）对两组居民进行评定，并收集其社会人口学资料。结果 失眠组SCL-90的躯体化、人际关系敏感、敌对、恐怖及精神病性因子评分均高于非失眠组（Z=2.035~2.323，P均<0.05）。Spearman相关分析显示，失眠组AIS总评分与SCL-90的强迫症状、人际关系敏感及偏执因子评分均呈正相关（r=0.153、0.140、0.159，P均<0.05）。结论 新冠肺炎疫情下，失眠人群存在躯体化、人际关系敏感、敌对、恐怖及精神病性等心理问题，其失眠的严重程度与强迫、人际关系敏感及偏执等相关。

Organic and Inorganic Mercury in Biological Samples of Flouresecent Lamp Industries Workers and Health Risks

Objective The present study aims to investigate the concentrations of Hg and its aspects methyl mercury(Me-Hg) and inorganic mercury(I-Hg) in the biological samples(BSs) of fluorescent lamp industries workers(FLIWs).Methodology Different BSs including red blood cells(RBCs),plasma,urine,hair and nails were collected from the workers exposed to Hg and unexposed persons were selected as control group to measure both the T-Hg concentration as well as its species in different biological samples through quantitative analysis.Health data was collected through questionnaire survey.Results The mean concentrations of T-Hg(31.9 μg/L),Me-Hg(27.7 μg/L),and I-Hg(5.36 μg/L) in RBCs were found significantly(P 0.001) higher among the workers(n = 40) as compared to the control group(n = 40).Similarly the mean Hg concentrations in plasma,urine,hair and nails were also significantly higher among the workers than the control group.The statistical relation between Hg concentration and demographic characteristics observed that workers experience and fish consumption has increased the Hg concentration while age,weight and smoking found no significant effect on Hg concentration in the BSs.Conclusion The study observed that the workers were highly exposed to high concentration of Hg and they are at a high health risk.
