Reciprocal Peer Support for Post-partum Patients with Diabetes: A Needs Assessment for the Diabetes Buddy Program

While peer support has been investigated in multiple clinical contexts, its application to the postpartum setting is unknown. The aim was to assess acceptability of a postpartum peer support program for women with diabetes. Observational survey-based needs assessment of forty low-income women with diabetes, receiving care at a major medical institution. Mean age and gravidity were 30.7 years and 3.15 ± 1.67 respectively. 45 % expressed interest in a “buddy.” There was no significant difference between groups desiring and not desiring this program. A majority of respondents desired telephone, text messaging, and in-person contacts (79.2, 72.1, 83.8 %), with 72.5 % of patients desiring diabetes-related activities during clinic waiting time. Many women desire a postpartum diabetes reciprocal peer program for support outside of clinician visits. Patients are receptive to educational services during their wait and outside of clinic time, a potentially valuable opportunity to share important health information.     

Research progress on the biomimetic remineralization of hard tooth tissues based on polyamide-amine dendrimer

聚酰胺—胺树枝状聚合物（PAMAM）作为一种新型超支化大分子聚合物,因其出色的化学和生物学特性,一直被众学者称之为“人工蛋白”。 PAMAM的特点是存在内部空腔,并含有大量的反应性末端基团,这些结构使得PAMAM可以被用作仿生大分子,模拟天然有机基质在牙体组织表面进行仿生矿化,即PAMAM作为有机模板调控矿物质成核以及晶体的生长,以此来建造比传统的异体材料更加理想的牙体修复材料。本文就 PAMAM 诱导牙体硬组织仿生矿化的研究进展作一综述。

糖尿病前期中医证型及证素特点分析＊

目的 探讨糖尿病前期的中医证型及证素分布特点。方法 检索中国知网、万方及维普三大数据库中收录的自建库以来有关糖尿病前期证型的临床研究文献，对中医证型进行规范整理，建立数据库，提取证素，运用数据挖掘技术中的关联分析、聚类分析探究证素分布规律。结果 共纳入10篇文献，总有效病例1620例，证型经规范处理后整理为18个，主要证型为脾虚痰湿证。共提取证素13个，主要病位证素为脾，主要病性证素为气虚、湿和痰，关联分析显示脾—湿支持度和置信度最高，聚类分析结果可得到3个聚类组。结论 糖尿病前期病位在脾，气虚、脾、痰、湿是常见证素，临床诊治糖尿病前期应注重从脾论治，需辨证施治。     

以专培学员为主导的CBL教学对心血管专培学员自身综合能力提升的影响

心血管专科医师规范化培训目标要求高于住院医师培训，完成心血管专培的医生应能在医疗、教学、科研能力上明显提高，达到心血管专科主治医师水平。如何提高心血管专培学员教学能力是专培中的难点。将专培学员随机分为两组,分别采用案例教学法（case-based learning, CBL）和传统教学法进行带教,课程结束后通过测验和调查问卷两种方式对教学效果进行考察。旨在探讨由心血管专培学员主导CBL教学法在实施过程中是否对其自身综合能力有所提升。结果显示，CBL教学法组学生临床理论及病例分析考试分数均高于对照组；心血管专培学员通过主导CBL教学，在教学能力、组织能力和学科协调均有提升；相较传统教学法,CBL教学法的教学效果更佳,有利于心血管专培学员自身综合能力提升。
