    Abstract Objective: To analyze the predictive efficacy of HbA1c on nosocomial infection in diabetic patients.
    Methods: 566 patients with diabetes who received treatment in our hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the study objects. All patients received relevant treatment in the hospital. Patients with nosocomial infection during treatment were included in the occurrence group, and those without nosocomial infection were included in the non-occurrence group. The level of HbA1c and other laboratory indicators before admission were compared between the two groups of patients [gender, hypertension, age, body mass index (BMI), length of stay, primary caregiver, duration of disease, diabetes complications, antibiotic use, fasting blood glucose (FBG), invasive treatment, hemoglobin (HGB) and insulin resistance index (HO) MA-IR), to analyze the relationship between each index and the occurrence of hospital infection in diabetic patients, and to test the predictive value of HbA1c level in the occurrence of hospital infection in diabetic patients.
    Results: Among 566 patients with diabetes admitted to our hospital, 139 patients had nosocomial infection, accounting for 24.56%, and 427 patients did not have nosocomial infection, accounting for 75.44%. There were no differences in gender, hypertension, BMI, main caregiver, or HGB between the two groups (P > .05). Age, hospital stay, course of disease, FBG, HbA1c and HOMA-IR in the occurrence group were higher than those in the non-occurrence group, and the proportion of diabetes complications, antibiotic use and invasive treatment was significantly higher than that in the non-occurrence group, with statistical significance (P < .05). Logistics regression analysis showed that old age, long hospital stay, long course of disease, diabetes complications, antibiotic use, high level of FBG, high level of HbA1c, invasive treatment and high level of HOMA-IR were all risk factors for nosocomial infection in diabetic patients (OR > 1, P < .05). The ROC curve showed that the AUC of FBG and HbA1c in predicting the occurrence of hospital infection in diabetic patients was 0.764 and 0.875, respectively, and the predictive energy of HbA1c was higher than that of FBG.
    Conclusion: HbA1c level is correlated with the occurrence of hospital infection events in diabetic patients, and the correlation intensity with the occurrence of hospital infection events in diabetic patients presents a nonlinear dose-response relationship. Detection of HbA1c levels in diabetic patients is conducive to predicting the probability of hospital infection events, and strict control of HbA1c levels in diabetic patients is conducive to improving patient prognosis.

    Abstract Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) caused by
    Methods: In this study we performed γδ T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire sequencing of samples provided pre- and post-BCG vaccination from 10 individuals to identify specific receptors and TCR clones that are induced by BCG.
    Results: Overall, there was no change in the diversity of γTCR or δTCR clonotypes in post- vs pre-BCG samples. Furthermore, the frequencies of TCR variable and joining region genes were minimally modulated by BCG vaccination at either the γTCR or δTCR loci. However, the γTCR and δTCR repertoires of individuals were highly dynamic; a median of ~1% of γTCR and ~6% of δTCR in the repertoire were found to significantly expand or contract in post- vs pre-BCG comparisons (FDR-q < 0.05). While many of the clonotypes whose frequency changed after BCG vaccination were not shared among multiple individuals in the cohort, several shared (i.e., "public") clonotypes were identified with a consistent increase or decrease in frequency across more than one individual; the degree of sharing of these clonotypes was significantly greater than the minimal sharing that would be expected among γTCR and δTCR repertoires. An
    Discussion: These findings generate hypotheses about specific γδTCR clonotypes that may expand in response to BCG vaccination and may recognize Mtb antigens. Future studies are required to validate and characterize these clonotypes, with an aim to better understand the role of γδ T cells in Mtb immunity.

    Abstract With the continuous expansion of cities, the land cover type of the region is transformed, a large number of natural landscapes are replaced by man-made landscapes, and the environmental temperature rises. The study of the response relationship between urban spatial pattern and thermal environment provides some guidance for improving the ecological environment and optimizing the urban spatial layout. Based on the Landsat 8 series remote sensing image data of Hefei City in 2020 and analysis platforms such as ENVI and ARCGIS, Pearson correlation and profile lines were used to reflect the correlation between the two. Then, the three spatial pattern components with the greatest correlation were selected to construct multiple regression functions to investigate the influence of urban spatial pattern on urban thermal environment and its mechanism of action. The results showed that:① the high temperature area of Hefei City increased significantly with the advance of time during 2013-2020. For different seasons, the urban heat island effect showed that summer>autumn>spring>winter. ② In the central urban area, the building occupancy, building height, imperviousness occupancy, and population density were significantly higher than those in the suburbs, whereas fractional vegetation coverage presented a higher suburban than urban area and mainly showed a point distribution in the urban area and an irregular distribution of water bodies. ③ The urban high-temperature zone was mainly distributed in various development zones in urban areas, whereas other places in urban areas were dominated by medium-high temperature and above-temperature zoning, and suburban areas were dominated by medium-low temperature. ④ The Pearson coefficients between the spatial pattern of each element and the thermal environment were positively correlated with the building occupancy (0.395), impervious surface occupancy (0.333), population density (0.481), and building height (0.188) and negatively correlated with fractional vegetation coverage (-0.577) and water occupancy (-0.384). The coefficients of the constructed multiple regression functions, including building occupancy, population density, and fractional vegetation coverage, were 8.372, 0.295, and -5.639 respectively, with a constant of 38.555. The results of this study can provide a reference basis for optimizing urban spatial layouts and improving urban living quality.

    Abstract Objective: Generic drugs provide an opportunity for savings in drug expenditure since they are available at a lower cost and do not affect patients' health. A better understanding of pharmacists' knowledge, attitudes, and perception can promote the quality use of generic drugs. The objective of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and perception of pharmacists from tertiary hospitals in China regarding generic drugs.
    Methods: A cross-sectional survey using a postal questionnaire was conducted, which was sent to 200 hospital pharmacists randomly selected from tertiary hospitals in Hubei Province. A total of 125 questionnaires out of 200 were received. Of the respondents, 80 were female and 45 were male.
    Results: The majority of respondents (87.2%) could clearly distinguish between original and generic drugs. Pharmacists agreed that generic drugs were less effective (52.8%) and produced more side effects (52%). Fortynine respondents thought that generic drug products were not adequately tested. Approximately 78% and 60% of the pharmacists indicated that generic substitution was not feasible for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows and drugs for critical diseases, respectively. Most of them supported the recommendation of generic drugs based on professional judgment.
    Conclusion: Our study showed that a considerable portion of Chinese hospital pharmacists hold negative perceptions of generic drugs. Interventions to improve pharmacists' knowledge of generic drugs are needed.

    Abstract Purpose: Knowledge of the readiness for hospital discharge can help health care professionals accurately determine the patients' discharge time. However, few studies were on the readiness for discharge and its related factors among mothers with cesarean sections. Thus, this study aims to examine the readiness for hospital discharge and its associated factors among Chinese mothers with cesarean sections.
    Patients and methods: A single-centre cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2020 to March 2021 in Guangzhou, China. Three hundred thirty-nine mothers with cesarean sections completed the questionnaires on demographic and obstetric characteristics, readiness for hospital discharge, quality for discharge teaching, parenting sense of competence, family function, and social support. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify independent factors influencing readiness for hospital discharge among mothers with cesarean sections.
    Results: The total score of readiness for hospital discharge was 136.47 ± 25.29. The quality of discharge teaching, parenting sense of competence, number of cesareans, family function, and attending antenatal classes were independent factors influencing the readiness for hospital discharge (
    Conclusion: The readiness for hospital discharge of mothers with cesarean sections need to be improved. Improving the quality of discharge teaching, parenting sense of competence, and family function may help improve the readiness for hospital discharge of mothers with cesarean sections.
