Methods: A total of 176 patients admitted to the hospital from March 2015 to February 2018 were selected and randomly assigned to an observation group and a control group, with 88 patients each. The control group implemented conventional nursing interventions, and the observation group carried out an integrated extended-care model. The level of glycemic control, quality of life, and daily medication adherence between both groups were compared. Results: The observation group showed significant improvement in the level of glycemic control, and their fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, and glycated hemoglobin levels were significantly lower as compared with those in the study group (P < 0.05). The quality of life of the patients in the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The observation group had a higher compliance score (95.48 ± 7.45) than the control group (81.31 ± 8.72) (t = 8.909, P < 0.05). Conclusion: The integrated extended care model allows patients to receive comprehensive and individualized nursing services after discharge, which improves the effect of drug therapy and the quality of life of patients.展开更多

We used "WeChat", "E nursing" and other Internet technologies to perform remote extended care and to observe the foot ulcer outcomes. Results: All foot ulcers healed with a wound healing time between 38 and 73 days (average 57.08 ~ 12.69 days). Patients did not need to travel long distances to seek medical treatment for foot ulcers, improving their satisfaction. Conclusions: The implementation of extended care for elderly patients with diabetic foot ulcers was based on the application of Internet technology. It is helpful to facilitate medical treatment, share high quality health resources and promote disease rehabilitation.展开更多

Methods: A total of 359 elderly male patients with type II diabetes hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2018 to June 2023 were retrospectively collected. According to the BMD (Bone Density Value), the patients were categorized into osteoporotic (T ≤ -2.5, n = 248) and non-osteoporotic groups (T > -2.5, n = 111). T test and Chi-square test were used to evaluate the differences in clinical data, biochemical markers and ABI between two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of osteoporosis in elderly men with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Results: Compared with the non-osteoporotic group, the differences in diabetes course, systolic blood pressure, ABI, BMI, uric acid, triglyceride, and HDL in the osteoporotic group were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that lower extremity vascular sclerosis was an independent risk factor for osteoporosis in elderly men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (P Conclusion: Atherosclerosis of the lower extremities in elderly men with T2DM is closely related to osteoporosis, and can lead to a decrease in bone mass, and an increase in osteoporosis.展开更多

Before treatment, the patients of both groups had elevated glycosylated hemoglobin(HbAlc) and fast blood glucose (FBG) levels, decreased serum estradiol (E2 ) and testosterone/estradiol(E2/T) ratio, and the loss of bone mineral (elevated urinary calcium,phosphorus levels) . Most ot the pa-tients in the two groups had the symptoms of soreness and weakness of the loins and knees, general weak-ness ,dizziness,decreased sexual libido , palpitation and frequent urination , etc. These symptoms in traditionalChinese medicine belong to the deficiency of the Kidney. After treatment in both groups. the patients' serumHbAlc, FBG, and urinary Beta-2-microglobulin (B2M) got reduced, the concentration of serum sex hormone(E2 , E2/T ratio) elevated, and the elimination of urinary calcium, phosphorus levels cut down. But , the ther-apeutic effect in group B is apparently better than that in group A. The symptoms of deficiency of the Kidneywas apparently improved in group B. So, The authors think the medicinal herbs(reinforcing Kidney and acti-vating blood circulation) have an important role in the prevention and treatment of the 'Kidney deficiency'and bone mineral loss in middle-aged and elderly female diabetes patients.展开更多
