文摘Maternal diabetes significantly increases the risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.Traditional self-monitoring of blood glucose is often invasive and limited in its ability to capture glycemic variability.Flash continuous glucose monitoring(FCGM)offers a promising alternative;however,its reliability and correlation with biochemical markers such as hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c)and glycated albumin(GA)in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)remain underexplored.AIM To evaluate the performance of the FreeStyle Libre H FCGM against plasma glucose and its correlations with HbA1c and GA.METHODS This prospective observational study involved 152 pregnant women with GDM or T2DM,with intermittent collection of venous plasma glucose,HbA1c,GA,and concurrent FCGM data at regular intervals at a single center.Relationships were evaluated using restricted cubic spline and mixed-effects models.Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to compare the ability of HbA1c and GA to detect suboptimal glycemic control.RESULTS Analysis of 507 FCGM-plasma glucose pairs revealed an overall mean absolute relative difference of 7.96%.Mean absolute relative differences were 9.22%,7.75%,and 4.15%for low(3.5-4.4 mmol/L),medium(4.5-7.8 mmol/L),and high(7.9-13 mmol/L)glucose levels,respectively.Most values fell within zone A or zone B on the Clarke and Parkes Error Grids.Bland-Altman analysis indicated a slight underestimation by FCGM(-0.121 mmol/L).Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed significant linear or nonlinear associations between HbA1c/GA and mean glucose,time in range,time above range,and coefficient of variation,but not time below range.Both HbA1c and GA were influenced by gestational age and pregestational body mass index.Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that HbA1c had comparable or superior performance to GA in detecting suboptimal glycemic control based on FCGM-derived thresholds.CONCLUSION The FCGM system served as a validated reference for evaluating glycemic markers in pregnant women with T2DM and GDM.HbA1c reliably assessed average glycemia,while GA provided complementary insight.
文摘The conversion of the greenhouse gas methane to value-added chemicals such as alcohols is a promising technology to mitigate environmental issue and the energy crisis.Especially,the sustainable photocatalytic,electrocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic conversion of methane at ambient conditions is regarded as an alternative technology to replace with thermocatalysis.In this review,we summarize recent advances in photocatalytic,electrocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic conversion of methane into alcohols.We firstly introduce the general principles of photocatalysis,electrocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis.Then,we discuss the mechanism for selective activation of C-H bond and following oxygenation over metal,inorganic semiconductor,organic semiconductor,and heterojunction composite systems in the photocatalytic,electrocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic methane oxidation in detail.Later,we present insights into the construction of effective photocatalyst,electrocatalyst and photoelectrocatalyst for methane conversion into alcohols from the perspective of band structures and active sites.Finally,the challenges and outlook for future designs of photocatalytic,electrocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic methane oxidation systems are also proposed.
文摘With the continuous improvement of the medical industry’s requirements for the professional capabilities of nursing talents,traditional nursing teaching models can hardly meet the needs of complex nursing work in neurology.This paper focuses on nursing education for neurology nursing students and explores the construction of the“one-on-one”teaching model,aiming to achieve a paradigm shift in nursing education.By analyzing the current status of neurology nursing education,this paper identifies the problems in traditional teaching models.Combining the advantages of the“one-on-one”teaching model,it elaborates on the construction path of this model from aspects such as the selection and training of teaching instructors,the design of teaching content,the innovation of teaching methods,and the improvement of the teaching evaluation system.The research shows that the“one-on-one”teaching model can significantly enhance nursing students’mastery of professional knowledge,clinical operation skills,communication skills,and emergency response capabilities,as well as strengthen their professional identity and sense of responsibility.It provides an effective way to cultivate high-quality nursing talents who can meet the needs of neurology nursing work and promotes the innovative development of nursing education.

文摘Background:Exercise elicits cardiometabolic benefits,reducing the risks of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes.This study aimed to investigate the vascular and metabolic effects of gut microbiota from exercise-trained donors on sedentary mice with type 2 diabetes and the potential mechanism.Methods:Leptin receptor-deficient diabetic(db/db)and nondiabetic(db/m+)mice underwent running treadmill exercise for 8 weeks,during which fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT)was parallelly performed from exercise-trained to sedentary diabetic(db/db)mice.Endothelial function,glucose homeostasis,physical performance,and vascular signaling of recipient mice were assessed.Vascular and intestinal stresses,including inflammation,oxidative stress,and endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress,were investigated.RNA sequencing analysis on mouse aortic and intestinal tissues was performed.Gut microbiota profiles of recipient mice were evaluated by metagenomic sequencing.Results:Chronic exercise improved vascular and metabolic abnormalities in donor mice.Likewise,FMT from exercised donors retarded body weight gain and slightly improved grip strength and rotarod performance in recipient mice.Exercise-associated FMT enhanced endothelial function in different arteries,suppressed vascular and intestinal stresses,and improved glucose homeostasis in recipient mice,with noted microRNA181b upregulation in aortas and intestines.Altered gut microbiota profiles and gut-derived factors(e.g.,short-chain fatty acids and glucagon-like peptide-1)as well as improved intestinal integrity shall contribute to the cardiometabolic benefits,implying a gut‒vascular connection.Conclusion:This proof-of-concept study indicates that exercised microbiota confers cardiometabolic benefits on sedentary db/db mice,extending the beneficial mechanism of exercise through gut‒vascular communication.The findings open up new therapeutic opportunities for cardiometabolic diseases and shed light on the development of exercise mimetics by targeting the gut microbiota.
