Objective:To investigate the characteristics of blood glucose fluctuation and risk factors in type 2 diabetic patients with asymptomatic hypoglycemia.Methods:From September 2018 to July 2021, 342 patients with type 2 diabete mellitus who were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology of Hefei Hospital Affilitated to Anhui Medical University were enrolled for a retrospective study. The mean amplitude of glycemic excursions(MAGE), coefficient of variation (CV), 24 hour mean blood glucose level (MG), and time in range (TIR) were obtained by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). According to the results of CGM and whether the patients have hypoglycemia symptoms, they were divided into three groups: no hypoglycemia group, symptomatic hypoglycemia group, and asymptomatic hypoglycemia group. The differences in blood glucose fluctuations were compared among the three groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk factors in type 2 diabete mellitus patients with asymptomatic hypoglycemia. The predictive value of MAGE for asymptomatic hypoglycemia was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:Compared with the non-hypoglycemia group, the TIR in asymptomatic hypoglycemia group was higher ( Z=-2.042, P=0.041). The asymptomatic hypoglycemia group had lower MG, higher MAGE and CV compared with the other two groups(all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), MAGE, and CV were the risk factors for asymptomatic hypoglycemia, while MG was the protective factor. After adjustment for other risk factors, MAGE was still associated with asymptomatic hypoglycemia ( OR=1.111, 95% CI 0.999-1.235, P=0.049). The sensitivity and specificity of MAGE in predicting asymptomatic hypoglycemia were 0.769 and 0.776, respectively. Conclusions:Patients with asymptomatic hypoglycemia present with larger TIR and MAGE. MAGE, UACR, and CV were risk factors for asymptomatic hypoglycemia. Moreover, MAGE has some predictive value for the occurrence of asymptomatic hypoglycemia.

@# ObjectiveTo evaluate the significance of ankler-brachial index (ABI) to predict the extent of intracranial artery stenosis in ischemic stroke patients. Methods243 ischemic stroke patients were enrolled, brain angiography were examined and all of the ABI and basic data were collected. ResultsABI≤0.9 was associated with a specificity of 84.6% and a sensitivity of 16.8% for predicting the presence of severe stenosis in intracranial artery. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve was (0.591±0.046) (P<0.05). ConclusionABI≤0.9 has a relative specificity and sensitivity for predicting the presence of severe stenosis of intracranial artery.

@#ObjectiveTo compare the prognosis of patiens with acute(within 72 hours) subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) within or without the clinical standardized pathway(CSP).Methods123 acute SAH cases were collected before CSP established meanwhile another 146 cases after CSP established from 2005 to 2009 in neurological intensive care unit of our hospital. Information such as age, gender, Hunt-Hess and CT-Fisher grade, timing and result of digital subtraction arteriography, treating time of aneurysm, and Modified Rankin Scale(MRS) at different time were recorded. Rehaemorrhagia, complications, mortality, prognosis and average stay were compared between two groups.ResultsThere was a significant difference between two groups in rehaemorrhagia, vasospasm，hydrocephaly, mortality, prognosis and average stay.ConclusionCSP is helpful to improve the prognosis of aneurysm subarachnoid hemorrhage.

@#Objective To observe the effect of catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor (COMTI) tolcapone on levodopa-treated patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and on the motor function fluctuation, and safety taking this drug.Methods50 PD patients treated with levodopa were divided into the trial group and control group with 25 cases in each group. The patients in the trial group were given tolcapone 100 mg three times per day. The cases in the control group were given placebo with the same dose. The hepatic function of the patients was examined every month after administration. The time variety of patients' motor function fluctuation was recorded by the diary. The time of clinical observation was 6 months.ResultsThe UPDRS scores of the trial group in the first and second months after taking tolcapone were not significantly different from that of the control group ( P>0.05), but scores of the third to sixth months were significantly different from that of the control group ( P<0.05～0.01). There was a significant difference between UPDRS scores of the trial group before and after treatment ( P<0.01～0.001). The Honhe-Yahr scores of the trial group in the first and second months after treatment were not significantly different from that before treatment ( P>0.05), but scores of the third to sixth months were significantly different from that before treatment ( P<0.05). The motor function fluctuation of the patients in the trial group improved significantly after treatment ( P<0.05). The numbers of the cases had dry mouth, nausea and astriction were 3 respectively; those had acratia, insomnia and diarrhea were 2 respectively; those had muscular soreness, abdominal distention, hidrosis and fidget were 1 respectively. All adverse effects had a little influence to administration. The hepatic function of all patients had no significant change.ConclusionTolcapone can increase the curative effect of PD patients treated with levodopa and improve the motor function fluctuation, and is safety after taken.

@#Objective To study the clinical features and prognosis in patients with severe basilar artery disease.Methods The clinical features and damaged location in 48 patients with serious stenosis or occlusion in basilar artery were assessed and followed-up 3 months later.The correlation between the clinical features and poor outcome was analysed.Results 19 patients had poor outcome and 4 patients died during 3 months.The most patients suffered from vertigo attack.12 patients presented conscious disturbance within 72 h after onset,and most of them had poor outcome(P<0.05).Conclusion The prognosis of basilar artery stenosis or occlusive disease is not as grave as previously thought.Vertigo occurs frequently,but dose not relate with poor outcome significantly.Consciousness in the initial stage maybe relate to outcome significantly.
