ABSTRACT
Reference manager (RM) also known as reference management software (RMS) are tools used by researchers to organize and manage bibliographic references. They are citation tools that enable researchers to track the scientific papers they have read, sources consulted, cited and used to generate a reference list or bibliography. This study investigated the awareness and pattern of use of RM tools by Resident Doctors (RDs) in Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted for the study and semi-structured questionnaire was used for the data collection. Respondents' age was 35.9 ± 5.0, (53.8%) were males. Most of the respondents (92.9%) had heard of RM, 49.1% had ever used any RM with Mendeley topping the list (49.1%). However, many of the respondents (42.8%) did not use RM due to lack of requisite skills, while only (35.1%) respondents had ever received formal training on use of RM. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that awareness should be regularly created to encourage resident doctors to apply their knowledge of the tools in the management of their references while training should be conducted for those who do not use the tools.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study the influence of mobile management software education to the young and middle-aged type 2 diabetes patients′ knowledge and behavior. Methods 130 cases of diabetes patients was selected in 2015.10 to 2016.04 which came from the endocrine ward of the center hospital of Dalian ,68 males and 62 females.63 cases were divided into experimental group and 67 cases in control group, according to the random number table method. The control group was given the regular out-of- hospital management mode, and the experimental group was managed by the diabetes mobile management software. Six months after the intervention, the effects of two groups on blood glucose, metabolic index, diabetes knowledge, self-management efficacy and self-management behavior were observed. Results There was no significant difference in fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h bloodglucose and glycosylated hemoglobin between the two groups before the intervention (P > 0.05).After intervention for three months, the date in control group respectively (8.81 ± 2.02) mmol/L, (12.44 ± 2.53) mmol/L, (8.41±1.40)%. experimental group respectively (7.91±2.29) mmol/L, (10.65±2.87) mmol/L, (7.83± 1.25)%. The difference was statistically significant (t=2.320, 3.691, 2.416, P < 0.05 or 0.01). After intervention for six months, these numbers in control group were (7.96±1.79)mmol/L,(10.61±2.12) mmol/L,(7.85±1.24)%. The experimental group were (7.00±2.00) mmol/L, (8.93±2.16) mmol/L, (7.20±1.25)%. The difference was statistically significant(t=2.805, 4.368, 2.914, P < 0.01).Compared the related knowledge scores (Good, general, poor) before intervention ,the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05).After 3 months of intervention, the cases in control group was 5, 57 ,1 respectively, the experimental group were 15,46,0 respectively. After 6 months intervention, the control group was 40, 32, 0. The experimental group were 48, 14, 0. After 3 months and 6 months intervention. There was significant difference between the two groups, (Z=2.637, 2.055, P<0.01 or 0.05). scores of diabetes mellitus (high level, medium level, low level)in the two groups was no significant difference (P > 0.05), before the intervention. After 3 months intervention ,cases in control group were 49,131respectively, the experimental group were 54,5,0 , after 6 months intervention ,control group were 59,4,0 ,respectively , the experimental group were 61,0,0. After 3 months and 6 months intervention, there was significant difference between the two groups (Z=2.103, 1.992,P<0.05).

ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe and investigate the effects of real-time dynamic glucose monitoring, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion combined with Carelink management software analysis on blood glucose control in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients.Methods: 64 cases of patients with newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes were selected from our hospital, and randomly divided into observation group and control group. The observation group were treated by real-time dynamic blood sugar monitoring and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion joint Carelink management software analysis system, while the control group by continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in combination with the real-time dynamic blood sugar monitoring. We compared serum C peptide, the rise of serum insulin levels and the decrease of blood glucose after ten days of treatment. At the same time, insulin resistance index (HOMA - IRI) and hypoglycemic events were compared between the two groups.Results: After treatment, the decrease range of blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose and HOMA-IRI in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group (t=4.362,t=3.254,t=4.289; P<0.05). At the same time, the increase range of elevated fasting insulin, postprandial insulin, fasting C peptide and sugar after C peptide in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group (t=3.712,t=4.115,t=3.831,t=3.889;P<0.05). The standard number of days of the blood glucose in the control group were significantly higher than those in the observation group (t=4.583,P<0.05).Conclusion: For patients with type 2 diabetes treated by real-time continuous glucose monitoring and continuous treatment of infusion combined with subcutaneous insulin Carelink management software can effectively reduce blood glucose, improve the insulin resistance of patients, reduce hypoglycemia and increased insulin sensitivity, meanwhile also can better protect the islet beta cell function.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the application effect of the catheter management software on the management of Indwelling urinary catheter in the Emergency intensive care unit (EICU). Methods A prospective control study of targeted surveillance of catheter-associated urinary tract infection was conducted from January 2014 to December 2015 in EICU. The patients were divided into two groups. The patients in control group (131 patients) were treated from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 and received routine catheter management, and the patients in test group (135 patients) were treated from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015, and received catheter management by software. The catheter management software was developed and applied, and the process specification which collaborated with the software was established. The quality of the catheter management including the omission rate of the catheter management, the rate of urinary catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) and the rate of catheter used etc were evaluated after the software's application. Results Through software applications, the omission rate of the catheter management, the omission rate of urine drainage bag replacementand the omission rate of urinary catheter replacement in test group were significantly lower than those in control group:0 vs. 36.64%(48/131), 0 vs. 15.27%(20/131) and 0 vs. 9.92%(13/131), P<0.01 or<0.05. The performance rate of catheter daily management in test group was significantly higher than that in control group: 99.26%(134/135) vs. 64.12%(84/131), P<0.01. The rate of CAUTI in test group was significantly lower than that in control group: 1.90‰ vs. 9.16‰, χ2=4.843, P=0.028. The rate of catheter used in test group was significantly lower than that in control group: 60.74%(82/135) vs. 73.28%(96/131), P<0.01.
