Study on Self-management Level of Elderly Diabetic Mellitus Patients in Dongcheng District of Beijing and Its Influencing Factors / 医学信息学杂志

Purpose/Significance To investigate the status quo and influencing factors of self-management level of elderly diabetic mellitus patients in Dongcheng District of Beijing,and to provide references for further development of community diabetes health educa-tion and health management.Method/Process The survey is conducted on 1 962 cases of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are randomly selected from community-level health service institutions in Dongcheng District of Beijing and are investigated by self-made questionnaires and the summary of diabetes self-care activities.Multiple stepwise regression and logistic regression are used to analyze the influencing factors of patients'self-management level.Result/Conclusion The self-management level of elderly diabetic mellitus patients is affected by many factors,among which the awareness of disease-related knowledge,the form of medical security and the use of health-related software to manage chronic diseases are the main influencing factors(P＜0.05).Local management depart-ments can take targeted health interventions to further improve the self-management ability of elderly diabetic mellitus patients.

Research Progress of the Infectious Disease Prediction Models Based on Internet Data / 医学信息学杂志

Purpose/Significance The paper systematically reviews relevant research on infectious disease prediction models based on internet data,helps to realize the advancement of infectious disease surveillance,and provides references for the construction of intelli-gent three-dimensional prevention and treatment system of infectious diseases.Method/Process The development history and research direction of infectious disease surveillance and early warning based on internet data collected in the core database of Web of Science and CNKI in the past 20 years are reviewed,major existing problems and challenges are analyzed,and common prediction models and their optimization directions are summarized.Result/Conclusion The study on internet infectious disease surveillance shows the trend of diver-sification of monitoring diseases,refinement and specialization of data sources.Due to the complexity and uncertainty of internet data,most of the existing models are only suitable for short-term or real-time prediction.By constructing a combination model,strengthening multi-source data fusion,improving the selection of keywords and influencing factors,the model can be further optimized and the fitting effect and prediction capacity can be strengthened.

Advances in Molecular Biomarker for Pulmonary Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma / 中国肺癌杂志

Pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a pathological subtype of lung neuroendocrine cancer, which accounts for 2.4%-3.1% in surgical specimens of lung cancer. It is characterized by high invasiveness and poor prognosis, and highly correlated with smoking. There are few relevant studies due to the low incidence and small sample size. Therefore, it is relatively difficult to diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice. In this review, we described molecular subtype, diagnostic and prognostic-related markers about large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of lung based on the recent progress in genomic sequencing and molecular markers, to find the direction for the next research.

Effect of atorvastatin on eNOS synthesis in organs of aging rats with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of atorvastatin on eNOS synthesis in the vital organs of aging rats and explore its mechanism for protection against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty-month-old Wistar rats were given daily atorvastatin lavage for 4 months. Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion model was established by ligating the coronary artery. The rats were randomized into normal control group, untreated model group, medication without surgery group, and atorvastatin-treated surgical group. The content of eNOS in the heart, liver and kidneys was detected by Western blotting, and eNOS mRNA expression by RT-PCR. The effects of different doses of atorvastatin on eNOS expressions were also evaluated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Atorvastatin significantly promoted eNOS synthesis in the heart, liver and kidney of the rats (P<0.05) regardless of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. A higher dose of atorvastatin caused a more obvious increase of eNOS protein and mRNA expression in the vital organs of the aging rats (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Atorvastatin can increase eNOS synthesis in the vital organs of aging rats, which partially explains the organ-protective effect of atorvastatin against myocardial ischemia- reperfusion.</p>

Arterial Stiffness and Diastolic Function in Primary Hypertension / 中华高血压杂志

Objective To study the relationship between arterial compliance and diastolic dysfunction in essential hypertensive patients.Methods Fifty-one treated hypertensive patients and 47 normotensive controls were enrolled.Arterial stiffness was assessed by vascular e-TRACKING technology of ultrosonic.Tissue Doppler echocardiography combined with conventional Doppler echocardiography was used for assessment of left ventricular diastolic function and peak late diastolic velocity of mitral flow.The ratio of E/A,Em/Am and E/Em were measured.Results Compared with normotensive controls,hypertensive patients have increased arterial sclerosis index(?) [(10.5?3.8) vs control(8.1?3.4),P
