Clinical Characteristics Associated with the Development of Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Objective This study analyzed the clinical and laboratory parameters that might influence the clinical outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes who develop diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which has not been well investigated. Methods We reviewed the clinical and laboratory data of 158 patients who were hospitalized due to DKA between January 2006 and June 2019 and compared the data of patients stratified by the type of diabetes. In addition, the patients with type 2 diabetes were subdivided according to age, and their clinical and laboratory findings were evaluated. Results Patients with type 2 diabetes had a longer symptom duration associated with DKA, higher body mass index (BMI), and higher C-peptide levels than those with type 1 diabetes (p＜0.05). Among patients with type 2 diabetes, elderly patients (≥65 years old) had a longer duration of diabetes, higher frequency of DKA onset under diabetes treatment, higher effective osmolarity, lower BMI, and lower urinary C-peptide levels than nonelderly patients (＜65 years old) (p＜0.05). A correlation analysis showed that age was significantly negatively correlated with the index of insulin secretory capacity. Conclusion Patients with DKA and type 2 diabetes had a higher BMI and insulin secretion capacity than those with type 1 diabetes. However, elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, unlike younger patients, were characterized by a lean body, impaired insulin secretion, and more frequent DKA development while undergoing treatment for diabetes.     

中国10个地区人群高血压患病率、知晓率、治疗率和控制情况分析

  目的  了解广东省广州市高血压患者“互联网 +”社区健康管理接受情况及其影响因素,为提高该地区高血压患者“互联网 +”社区健康管理率提供参考依据。  方法  于2018年10 — 12月采用分层随机抽样方法在广州市白云、南沙、越秀、天河、黄埔5个区抽取10家社区卫生服务机构的1 360例高血压患者进行问卷调查。  结果  广州市1 360例高血压患者中,接受“互联网 +”健康管理者976例,“互联网 +”健康管理接受率为71.76 %;多因素非条件logistic回归分析结果显示,文化程度高中及以上、有高血压家族史、不吸烟、睡眠良好、知晓诊断标准、自行测量血压和服药依从的广州市高血压患者更易接受“互联网 +”健康管理。  结论  广州市高血压患者对“互联网 +”健康管理的接受率较高;文化程度、睡眠情况及是否有高血压家族史、吸烟、知晓诊断标准、自行测量血压、服药依从是该地区高血压患者接受“互联网 +”健康管理的主要影响因素。

压力接种训练对改善社区留守老年糖尿病患者低血糖恐惧的效果

目的 探讨压力接种训练在社区留守老年糖尿病患者低血糖恐惧中的应用效果。 方法 将长春市6个社区中存在低血糖恐惧的留守老年糖尿病患者126例随机分为对照组与观察组各63例,对照组给予常规心理干预,观察组在常规心理干预的基础上实施压力接种训练。比较两组干预前及干预8周后的低血糖恐惧评分及血糖水平。 结果 干预后观察组低血糖恐惧得分及空腹血糖、餐后2 h血糖、糖化血红蛋白显著低于对照组（均P＜0.01）。 结论 压力接种训练可降低社区留守老年糖尿病患者低血糖恐惧,改善患者血糖水平。     

XMRV在我国部分人群中的初步调查

目的检测XMRV是否存在于我国健康献血者和肿瘤患者体内。方法采用巢式反转录-聚合酶链反应方法,检测243例健康献血者和36例肿瘤患者的血液样本中的XMRV RNA,分析XMRV的感染情况。结果在所检测的279例血液样本中,XMRV RNA均呈阴性,各标本对应的内参引物三磷酸甘油醛脱氢酶基因(hGAPDH)均呈阳性。结论在所检测的样本中,没有发现XMRV的感染,需要进一步扩大样本量,探讨XMRV在中国的感染状况。     

The Mental Health Status and Long Term Care Needs of the Chinese Elderly in Hong Kong

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the mental health status of 945 Chinese older people who are in need of long term care services in Hong Kong. It was found that for those aged respondents who are already waiting for admission to infirmary, over 59.3% were already living in private aged homes, and only as few as 17.8% of these applicants were still living in their own homes. Besides, it was found that the mean SPMSQ score was lowest amongst those living in medical infirmary (1.52) and highest for those living in their own residences (5.99). Analysis of the relationship between GDS scores and residential types reveals that there were higher proportion of respondents residing in their own residences that fell into the highly depressed category. There is a need for the overall revamp of the planning, provision and financing for long term care and psychogeriatric services for Chinese older people in Hong Kong.
