Background and aimsThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected people’s lives including patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). We aimed to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on psychological status, self-management behaviors, and diabetes care maintenance among Saudi adults with T1DM using insulin pump therapy.MethodsThis cross-sectional study used a web survey to collect data on Saudi adults with T1DM who were treated in the specialized insulin pump clinic at King Abdulaziz Medical City-Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. We used the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and General Anxiety Disorder-7 scales to measure depression and anxiety.ResultsOf the 70 patients who received the survey, 65 completed it. Overall, 23.1% and 29.2% of the patients reported moderate to severe and mild depression, respectively; 18.5% and 24.6% reported moderate to severe and mild anxiety, respectively. Compared with pre-lockdown, adherence to a healthy diet and regular physical activity decreased in 67.7% and 41.5% of the patients, respectively. Most patients maintained their adherence to insulin pump behaviors; frequent self-monitoring of blood glucose increased in 47% of glucometer users. Most patients benefited from phone visits or virtual education sessions, but 66.2% of the patients reported difficulty obtaining at least one type of insulin pump supply.ConclusionsPromoting self-management behaviors and psychological wellbeing of patients with T1DM using insulin pump therapy is crucial during a lockdown. Telemedicine is a useful alternative to in-person appointments, but strategies to ensure that patients have access to adequate resources during lockdown must be developed. 相似文献

We evaluated the reproductive outcome after hysteroscopic metroplasty in the patients with septate uterus. The reproductive
performance of 361 patients with septate uterus during the follow-up period of 18 months after the surgery was analyzed retrospectively
for a period of 10 years. A total of 180 (49.8%) pregnancies were achieved after metroplasty during the follow-up period of
18 months. Of the 180 pregnancies 117 (57.2%) reached to term and 34 (18.8%) ended in preterm delivery and the remaining 29
(16%) resulted in abortion. Of the preterm babies 18 (52.9%) were able to live. We obtained 135 (75%) live babies totally.
Hysteroscopic metroplasty improves the reproductive performance of septate uterus significantly especially in the cases with
recurrent pregnancy loss and should be considered highly as a corrective approach for such patients. 相似文献

Both the experimental conditions and the kinetic parameters governing the telomerization of hydroxy-functional acryloyl derivatives in the presence of perfluoroalkanethiols were determined with the purpose of synthesizing new amphiphilic telomers with high surface activity for the preparation of stable perfluoro emulsions capable of carrying oxygen in vivo. Several perfluoro-alkylated non-ionic telomeric surfactants (FmTACn) were obtained in one step with an average yield of 80%, by free-radical telomerization of tris(hydroxymethyl)acrylamidomethane in the presence of various perfluoroalkanethiols as chain-transfer reagents. Surface activity, critical micelle concentration and emulsifying capability established the superiority of the FmTACn surfactants over Pluronic® F68, the major surfactant used presently in the FDA-approved injectable fluorocarbon emulsion: Fluosol®. 相似文献

Increasing proliferation of murine adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells by TNF-α plus IFN-γ

The objective of the current study was to assess the effects of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) along with their simultaneous application on proliferation and pluripotency genes of murine adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs). The proliferation, doubling time (DT), colony-forming unit–fibroblast (CFU-F), pluripotency genes expression, and proliferation-related immunomodulatory markers of MSCs were analyzed upon activation with TNF-α (10?ng/ml), IFN-γ (10?ng/ml) and both TNF-α and IFN-γ (5?ng/ml?+?5?ng/ml). Pluripotency genes including Oct-4, Sox-2, and Nanog as well as proliferation-associated immunomodulatory cytokines such as insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) expression were evaluated using real-time PCR. Surface expression of Qa2 (HLA-G) was analyzed by flow cytometry. Pretreatment of MSCs with TNF-α plus IFN-γ led to significantly increased proliferation, DT and CFU-F as well as expression of pluripotency genes in AT-MSCs (p < 0.01). MSCs expressed more IGF-1, TGF-β, and Qa2 upon activation with TNF-α plus IFN-γ and IFN-γ. MSCs expressed significantly decreased amounts of TGF-β and Qa2 in presence of TNF-α. TNF-α combined with IFN-γ may be improved the proliferation of AT-MSCs. Conversely, expanded MSCs pointed out low levels of the immunomodulatory marker, s especially Qa2 in the presence of TNF-α. In conclusion, we showed that TNF-α together with IFN-γ increased the proliferation of MSCs and slightly enhanced the expression of pluripotency genes. 相似文献

To facilitate increased utility of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) beds, we adopted a policy of early discharge (ED) of infants less than 2000 g to the hospital of their birth after recovery from acute illness and when the infant was breathing room air and taking adequate oral feedings. An inservice teaching program at the primary hospitals preceded such policy. In a 24-month period, 446 infants were referred to the NICU. 111 of 446 died; 335 infants survived. 114 of 335 infants were less than 2000 g at birth; 42% (48 of 114) of them were discharged early to the hospital of their birth (ED); 58% were discharged late (LD) to their homes. 59.7% of the ED and 46.3% of the LD required assisted ventilation. Gestational age, birth weight, and final weight at discharge from hospitals were the same in both groups. None of the ED infants developed complications at the hospital of birth after retransfer. The length of NICU stay for LD was significantly higher 40 +/- 6 (p less than 0.001) than the ED; 20 +/- 2.2 days. In addition, a 15% increase in bed utilization was also noted because of ED. We conclude that ED of infants from the NICU 1) increases utilization of beds; 2) decreases the cost of health care; and 3) increases the participation of primary physicians. 相似文献
