Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of insulin aspart combined with vitamin D (VD) supplementation for patients with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).Methods The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of insulin aspart and VD in treating GDM were collected by searching electronic databases including CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, etc, and the retrieval time extended from the creation of database to July 1, 2020. Two researchers independently screened trials that met the inclusion criteria and extracted the data of randomized controlled trials meeting inclusion criteria; the quality of literatures was evaluated by referring to the criterion for Cochrane quality evaluation, and RevMan 5.3 software was used to conduct the meta analysis.Results Twelve literature and 1130 cases (563 cases in the experimental group and 567 cases in the control group) were finally included. Meta analysis results showed that insulin aspart combined with VD supplementation could significantly reduce the fasting plasma glucose, 2 h postprandial glucose, fasting insulin, insulin resistance index. Meta analysis results also suggested that insulin aspart combined with VD supplementation significantly reduced the incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia, cesarean section, premature delivery and giant children.Conclusion Insulin aspart combined with VD supplementation can improve blood glucose metabolism, decrease insulin resistance and reduce the occurrence of adverse perinatal outcomes in patients with GDM. However, more high-quality RCTs remain to be verified.

Objective To systematically evaluate the diagnostic value of serum IgG4 for IgG4-related diseases (IgG4-RD).Methods All related English studies to explore diagnostic value of serum IgG4 in IgG4-related diseases published in PubMed, EMBASE, Wangfang, Weipu and CNKI from January 1st, 2011 to January 1st, 2020 were searched by computer. Strict inclusion and exclusion criteria for literature screening and data extraction were established, the quality assessment was made by the quality evaluation tool (QUADAS-2), and meta-disc 1.4 software and the “Midas” command in STATA15.0 software were used for heterogeneity analysis and comprehensive quantitative synthesis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic advantage ratio, positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio were calculated respectively, and the relevant forest map was drawn, and the summary receiver operating curve (SROC) was fitted. The included literature were subgroup analyzed by region, disease type and sample size. Results A total of 17 articles and 17 095 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The cut-off value of IgG4 ranged from 1.3 to 1.44 g/L, the pooled sensitivity was 0.88(95%CI:0.81-0.93), the pooled specificity was 0.89(95%CI: 0.83-0.93), the pooled positive likelihood ratio was 8.3(95%CI: 5.1-13.7), the pooled negative likelihood ratio was 0.13(95%CI: 0.08-0.22) and the diagnostic advantage ratio was 62 (95%CI:25-153),respectively. The diagnostic value of serum IgG4>2×ULN (2.7-2.8 g/L) was reported in 11 studies, and the pooled sensitivity was 0.59(95%CI: 0.47-0.7), the pooled specificity was 0.96(95%CI: 0.94-0.97), the pooled positive likelihood ratio was 14.3(95%CI:9.1-22.7), the pooled negative likelihood ratio was 0.42(95%CI: 0.32-0.57), and the pooled diagnostic advantage ratio was 34(95%CI:17-69). Subgroup analysis showed that geography, whether only AIP patients were included, and sample size of IgG4-RD patients were all possible sources of heterogeneity. Deeks funnel plot showed no publication bias, and the sensitivity analysis revealed that the analysis result were stable and reliable. Conclusion Serum IgG4 has a high reference value in the diagnosis of IgG4-RD, and there is no significant diagnostic advantage in increasing the cut-off value to 2×ULN. This result still needs to be verified by more prospective and high-quality diagnostic tests.

Objective To study the clinical significance of blood lactate acid(LAC) assisted Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ) in judging the prognosis of elderly severe infections (SI) patients in intensive care unit(ICU).Methods The clinical data of 100 elderly SI patients admitted to the ICU ward of our hospital from July 2017 to July 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were divided into good prognosis (survival, n=82) and poor prognosis group (death, n=18) according to their prognosis. The general information at admission including gender, age, site of infection, history of alcohol consumption, smoking history, APACHE-Ⅱ score and LAC level were collected in two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to predict the risk factors affecting prognosis of elderly SI patients in ICU.Results The age, APACHEⅡ score and LAC level were significantly higher in poor prognosis group than in good prognosis group (P<0.05). ROC analysis confirmed that age, APACHEⅡ score and LAC level could all be used to predict the prognosis of elderly SI patients in ICU. The areas below the curve were 0.878, 0.886 and 0.884, respectively (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that risk factors affecting prognosis of elderly SI patients in ICU were age ≥73 years, APACHEⅡ score ≥13 points, and LAC≥9.145 mmol/L (all P<0.05).Conclusion The prognosis of elderly SI patients in ICU is affected by age, APACHEⅡ score, and LAC. Clinicians should pay close attention to them, which is of great significance to the prognosis evaluation of patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of clopidogrel bisulfate (CB) on hemodynamics, expression of microRNAs(miRs), and nerve function in cerebral infarction (CI).Methods A total of 60 CI patients admitted from Jan 2018 to Jan 2020 were randomly divided into the control group and observation group with 30 patients in each group. Both groups were given different doses of CB on the basis of conventional treatment, the control group was given low dose (50 mg each time, once a day), and the observation group was given regular dose (75 mg each time, once a day). Hemodynamics, miR-191, miR-18a, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and adverse reactions were compared before and after treatment in two groups.Results After 28 days of treatment, peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity and mean velocity in both groups increased significantly, and they were higher in observation group than in control group. Pulsatility index and resistance index in both groups decreased, and they were lower in observation group than in control group (all P<0.05). miR-191 in both groups decreased, and the index was lower in observation group than in control group. But, miR-18a in both groups increased, and the index was higher in observation group than in control group (all P<0.05). Compared with before treatment, NIHSS score in both groups showed decrease after treatment (P<0.05).NIHSS score had significant difference between groups and different time points. Different doses of CB could affect NIHSS score trend over time ( P<0.05). There were no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Regular dose CB can improve cerebral blood flow for CI patients, which may affect the expression of functional miRs, improve neurological function, therefore, reduce adverse reactions.

Objective To explore the relationship between H-type hypertension and the severity of neurological deficits in the early acute cerebral infarction of large atherosclerosis (LAA).Methods The general information of 270 patients with acute cerebral infarction of LAA were recorded, the fasting serum homocysteine (Hcy) within 24 hours were performed in all patients. According to with or without of hypertension and serum Hcy levels, the patients were divided into H-type hypertension group (hypertension and Hcy≥10 μmol/L), simple hypertension group (only hypertension), and simple high Hcy group (only Hcy≥10 μmol/L), control group (without hypertension and elevated Hcy). National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was used to assess the severity degree of neurological deficits at admission (mild NIHSS ≤5 points, moderate to severe NIHSS> 5 points). The analysis was made for the correlation between H-type hypertension and the severity of neurological deficits in the early acute cerebral infarction of LAA.Results The incidence of H-type hypertension in patients with moderate to severe acute cerebral infarction was higher than that in patients with mild acute cerebral infarction (P<0.01); the interaction index (S)>1 of hypertension and high Hcy on the severity of neurological deficits had a positive interaction.Conclusion H-type hypertension may be a risk factor for the deterioration of neurological function in the early acute cerebral infarction of LAA, and hypertension and high Hcy have a synergistic effect on the deterioration of neurological function.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum type Ⅰ collagen carboxy-terminal peptide β-specific sequence(β-CTx), anti-tartrate acid phosphatase 5b isoenzyme(TRACP-5b) and the severity and prognosis of multiple myeloma bone disease(MMBD).Methods The clinical data of 142 patients with MMBD from Jan. 2016 to Jan. 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. When treatment guidelines and imaging examination were performed, the patients were divide into level Ⅰ group, level Ⅱ group, level Ⅲ group and level Ⅳ group according to disease severity. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to detect serum levels of β-CTx and TRACP-5b of the patients. Spearman was used to analyze the correlation between serum β-CTx, TRACP-5b and severity of MMBD. All patients were divided into survival group and death group according to whether survived. Cox regression was used to analyze the related factors affecting prognosis.Results The serum β-CTx and TRACP-5b increased with severity grade in four groups(P<0.05). Spearman analysis showed that β-CTx and TRACP-5b levels were positively correlated with the severity of MMBD (r=0.753, 0.627, P<0.05). At the follow-up time, 98 cases were survival and 44 cases were death in 142 patients. The proportion of International Staging System(ISS) level Ⅲ, MMBD severity level Ⅳ, bone disease of pathological fracture, β2-MG, β-CTx and TRACP-5b levels were higher in death patients than in survival patients (P<0.05). The difference in survival curves of β-CTx/TRACP-5b of patients was statistically significant (P<0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that the risk factors for affecting prognosis in MMBD patients were β-CTx, TRACP-5b, β2-MG levels, ISS level Ⅲ, MMBD severity level Ⅳ, and bone disease of pathological fracture (P<0.05).Conclusion Serum β-CTx and TRACP-5b increase with the severity of MMBD, and both are the risk factors affecting prognosis of MMBD.

The essence of doctor-patient communication is the process of forming intersubjectivity on the basis of the development of subjectivity, replenishing intersubjectivity, enriching and developing subjectivity, and it maintains the existence and development of doctor-patient relationship. Based on the doctor's perspective, the intersubjectivity in the process of doctor-patient communication is mainly reflected in three levels, namely, the intersubjectivity between the patient's disease perception and the doctor's test results in the aspect of disease cognition, the intersubjectivity between the patient's life perspective and the doctor's knowledge perspective in the aspect of medical decision-making, and the intersubjectivity between the patient's evaluation and the doctor's evaluation in the aspect of satisfaction evaluation. Doctors and patients should follow the common value goal, adhere to the principle of intersubjectivity, achieve intersubjectivity through effective communication, and build doctor-patient fate community.
