We hypothesized that exposure to polluting fuels for cooking was associated with abnormality of glucose metabolism and diabetes mellitus (DM) in south urban China. 3414 residents were surveyed in 14 urban areas of Guangdong Province in 2018. We recorded polluting fuels for cooking exposure, different DM status (DM, prediabetes), fasting blood glucose (FBG), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), glycated hemoglobin (HbA ), and other covariates by using a structured questionnaire.

Objective: To analyze the incidence, clinical features and the predisposing factors of fungal septicemia, and investigate the risk factors for death due to fungal septicemia and the prognosis of the patients.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 91 patients with fungal septicemia diagnosed in the last 17 years, including 60 patients with clinical cure or improvement, and 31 who die of the disease. Based on the results by univariate analysis, the data were analyzed using logistic multiple regression and Fisher's discriminant analysis.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors of fungal rhinosinusitis.
Methods: The preoperative clinical data of 57 patients with a diagnosis of fungal rhinosinusitis confirmed pathologically using Gomori methenamine silver staining were analyzed statistically against the data of 57 age- and gender-matched control patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.
Results: Compared with chronic rhinosinusitis, fungal rhinosinusitis was characterized by a significantly shorter mean disease course (37.

Objective: To investigate the pharmacokinetics of nalmefene after intravenous administration at a single or multiple doses in Chinese healthy volunteers.
Methods: This open, randomized clinical trial involved 12 healthy volunteers, who received a single-dose (2 mg) nalmefene injection. Before and at different time points after the injection, blood sample were obtained from the subjects.

Objective: We aimed to determine the clinical prognostic factors of chronic rhinosinusitis after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in order to better guide the management of patients.
Methods: A total of 254 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis after ESS with a follow-up of 24 months were evaluated retrospectively. Clinical grouping, hyperplasia of the ethmoid bone, anatomic variations, allergy, polyps, previous sinonasal surgery and recurrent polyps were analyzed.

Objective: To investigate the correlated factors and clinical features of fungal rhinosinusitis.
Methods: The clinical data of 110 patients with fungal rhinosinusitis treated by surgery and another group of 110 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis who were sampled randomly between January 1999 and June 2004 in our hospital were retrospectively compared. The correlated factors and the clinical features of fungal rhinosinusitis were investigated by using the multiple factor Logistic regression analysis and chi-square test.
