儿童肥胖症的相关影响因素与控制对策分析及其对糖尿病发病情况的影响

目的 分析儿童肥胖症的相关影响因素与控制对策分析及其对糖尿病发病情况的影响,为制定针对儿童肥胖症的防控措施提供理论依据。方法 将2012年5月-2018年1月期间于沈阳市第五人民医院儿科进行体检的836名儿童作为研究对象,统计本组研究对象中肥胖症发生率,并调查所有研究对象性别、年龄、学校性质、生活习惯等因素与肥胖症发生率的相关性。将出现肥胖症的患儿作为观察组,将正常儿童作为对照组,对比两组对象空腹血糖、餐后2 h血糖(2 hPBG),空腹血糖受损(IFG)、葡萄糖耐量异常(IGT)以及糖尿病发生率的差异。结果 836名儿童中,89名存在肥胖症,231名儿童体重超重,516名儿童BMI正常,肥胖症发生率为10.65%;多因素Logistic回归分析结果显示,男性(OR＝6.415,95%CI:2.714~12.684,P=0.027)、年龄>10岁(OR＝9.328,95%CI:2.413~10.152,P=0.003)、居住地在城市(OR＝6.413,95%CI:2.748~8.503,P=0.015)、早餐地点在家里(OR＝6.349,95%CI:2.692~8.419,P=0.009)、周末活动时间<1 h(OR＝14.928,95%CI:4.210~15.384,P<0.001)均是儿童肥胖症的危险因素;观察组FPG及2 hPBG表达水平均显著高于对照组(P<0.05);观察组IFG、IGT及糖尿病发生率均显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论 儿童肥胖症的发生与外界及自身多项因素有密切联系,还可能诱发糖尿病等并发症,临床中应针对诱导儿童肥胖症产生的具体因素制定相应控制对策,改善肥胖患儿生活质量,使其健康成长。     

Using business/law negotiation techniques in response to a ‘difficult’ family

Effective communication between clinicians, patients, and families at end of life is associated with better clinical outcomes. A large body of literature describes the key skills needed for effective communication. We believe that clinicians could also benefit from communication skills more commonly associated with business or law negotiations. We will demonstrate via analogy (i.e. buying a house) how four key business/law negotiation techniques – 1. Determine your Reservation and Aspiration Value; 2. Separate People from their Positions; 3. Separate Positions from Interests; and 4. Logrolling of Interests – can be applied to a difficult family meeting in a home hospice patient.     

Egg Intake Has No Adverse Association With Blood Lipids Or Glucose In Adolescent Girls

Objective: Longitudinal data on cardiometabolic effects of egg intake during adolescence are lacking. The current analyses aim to evaluate the impact of usual adolescent egg consumption on lipid levels, fasting glucose, and insulin resistance during late adolescence (age 17–20?years).

Methods: Data from 1392 girls, aged 9 to 10 at baseline and followed for 10?years, in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s National Growth and Health Study were used to examine the association between usual egg intake alone and in combination with other healthy lifestyle factors and late adolescent lipid levels, fasting glucose, and insulin resistance, measured as homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Diet was assessed using 3-day food records during eight examination cycles. Girls were classified according to usual weekly egg intake, ages 9–17?years:?<1 egg/wk (n?=?361), 1 to <3 eggs/wk (n?=?703), and ≥3 eggs/wk (n?=?328). Analysis of covariance modeling was used to control for confounding by other behavioral and biological risk factors.

Results: Girls with low, moderate, and high egg intakes had adjusted low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels of 99.7, 98.8, and 95.5 mg/dL, respectively (p?=?0.0778). In combination with higher intakes of fiber, dairy, or fruits and vegetables, these beneficial effects were stronger and statistically significant. There was no evidence that ≥3 eggs/wk had an adverse effect on lipids, glucose, or HOMA-IR. More active girls who consumed ≥3 eggs/wk had the lowest levels of insulin resistance.

Conclusion: These results suggest that eggs may be included as part of a healthy adolescent diet without adverse effects on glucose, lipid levels, or insulin resistance.

Drug discovery strategies for acute radiation syndrome

Introduction: There are at the minimum two major, quite different approaches to advance drug discovery. The first being the target-based drug discovery (TBDD) approach that is commonly referred to as the molecular approach. The second approach is the phenotype-based drug discovery (PBDD), also known as physiology-based drug discovery or empirical approach.

Area covered: The authors discuss, herein, the need for developing radiation countermeasure agents for various sub-syndromes of acute radiation syndromes (ARS) following TBDD and PBDD approaches. With time and continuous advances in radiation countermeasure drug development research, the expectation is to have multiple radiation countermeasure agents for each sub-syndrome made available to radiation exposed victims.

Expert opinion: The majority of the countermeasures currently being developed for ARS employ the PBDD approach, while the TBDD approach is clearly under-utilized. In the future, an improved drug development strategy might be a ‘hybrid’ strategy that is more reliant on TBDD for the initial drug discovery via large-scale screening of potential candidate agents, while utilizing PBDD for secondary screening of those candidates, followed by tertiary analytics phase in order to pinpoint efficacious candidates that target the specific sub-syndromes of ARS.

Cancer support groups – are they effective?

Cancer causes significatlt emotional distress to a considerable majority of patients. Many of these patients typically receive little formal psychological intervention. Support groups, however, have provided one forum from which patients can attempt to gain help and can use to overcome some psychological trauma that accompanies the cancer hagnosis, subsequent treatment and relapse. This article reviews past studies of professionally run cancer support groups as opposed to psychological intervention groups. These studies are considered in light of the proposed benefits and the methodological limitations frequently inherent in such studies.
