Objective To explore the clinical value of lymphocyte sub-population and NK levels in patients with primary lung malignant tumor and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods The percentage of CD3 +,CD4 +, CD8 +, CD19 + and NK cells were measured in 60 COPD patients and 50 primary lung malignant tumor patients and 40 normal control subjects using alkaline phosphatase antialkaline phosphatase (APAAP) assay, and CD4 +/CD8 + ratio was calculated. Results The levels of CD3 +,CD4 +,CD4 +/CD8 + and CD19 + cells were significantly lower in the patients with primary lung malignant tumor or COPD than those in the normal control subjects, which CD8 level was significantly higher (P0.05). No difference in the levels of CD3 +, CD4 + and CD8 + cells was found between the primary lung malignant tumor and COPD patients, but NK and CD19 + cells levels had significant difference(P

Objective To explore the relationship between the severity of coronary artery lesion and the level of serum bilirubin, uric acid in elder people. Methods 192 elder patients underwent coronary angiography were divided into 5 groups according to the severity of coronary lesion: normal(group A), vessel stenosis

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fosfomycin trometamol(FMT)versus Norfloxacin(FPA)in elderly diabetic patients with acute urological tract infections.Methods From Jan.2012 to Mar.2013,eighty-six patients with uncomplicated and complicated urinary tract infection were randomized into FMT group(n =43)and FPA group(n =43).Patients in both groups were balanced with regard to baseline urinary tract symptoms,fever,leukocytosis,positive urinary culture and disease type(P＞0.05).Patients received FMT 3 g daily and Norfloxacin 0.4 g twice daily for a week.Extended treatment was given to 35 patients not cured within a week.Total treatment course should not exceed two weeks.Patient's symptoms,signs,complete blood count,urinalysis,urine culture,pharmacological sensitivity tests,renal and liver function tests were performed.Results After one week of FMT treatment,28(65.1％)cases were cured and 10 cases were improved(1 was with abnormal urinalysis,9 had positive urine culture).In total,in 38(88.4％)patients treatment was as effective;In FPA group,23(53.5％)were cured and 7 cases were improved(7 had positive urine culture).In total,there were 30(69.8％)patients classified as effective.Difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05 =.After 2 weeks of FMT treatment,38(88.4％)cases were cured and 2 patients were improved(1 was with abnormal urinalysis,1 had positive urine culture).In total,40(93.0％)patients were classified as effective.In FPA group,25(58.1％)cases were cured and in 8 patients were improved(8 had positive urine culture).In total,there were 33(76.7％)patients classified as effective;Difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05 =.Bacterial clearance rate in FMT and FPA group was 88.9％ and 72.7％,respectively.Difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05 =.The adverse reaction rates were 9.3％ and 14.0％,respectively.Difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusions FMT is an effective and safe antibiotic in the treatment of urinary tract infections in elderly diabetic patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between glucose excursion and cognitive function in aged type 2 diabetes. Methods A total of 248 aged type 2 diabetes were recruited in this study,all of them wore continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) for 3 d to evaluate the glucose excursion including mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) which was used for assessing intra-day glycemia variability,and mean daily difference (MODD) which represented day-to-day glycemic variability.During the period of CGMS monitoring,all subjects accepted mini mental status examination (MMSE) for evaluating cognitive function.The relationships of MAGE and MODD with performance on cognitive tests were assessed. Results The over intra-day glucose excursion group had lower MMSE score than the narrow intra-day glucose excursion group[(24.25±6.75)vs.(25.97±0.47),P=0.025].The MMSE score was decreased in over day-to-day glucose excursion group compared with the narrow day-to-day glucose excursion group [(24.21 ± 6.47) vs. (26.01 ± 5.49),P =0.019]. A statistically significant association was observed between MAGE and the score of MMSE(r=- 0.308,P＜0.001),and between MODD and MMSE(r=-0.226,P =0.001).Conclusions Glucose excursion may affect cognitive function in aged type 2 diabetes.The over glucose excursion decreases the score of MMSE.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of donepezil versus huperzine in the treatment of elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Methods Total 122 elderly patients with MCI were divided into two groups:donepezil treatment (5.0 mg once daily) (n=71) and huperzine treatment group (0.1 mg twice daily) (n=51).All the patients were followed up for 24 weeks.Before and 12 weeks,24 weeks after drug treatment,the cognitive functions were evaluated,including MMSE,MOCA,ADAS-cog,CDR,GDS,ADL,HIS and HAMD.Results There was no significant difference in age,sex,education time and neuropsychology rating scales between the groups before drug use.As compared with the score before drug use,the donepezil group showed a significant increase in MMSE after 12-weeks (t=4.47) or 24-weeks (t=6.16) (P＜0.01),a decrease in the score of ADAS-cog after 12-weeks (t=2.33,P＜0.05) or 24-weeks( t=3.68,P＜0.05),and an increase in the score of MOCA after 24-weeks drug use (t=2.56,P＜0.05).The huperzine group showed significant improvement in MMSE after 24-weeks drug use (t=2.80,P＜0.05),but there was no difference in other time points or in the score of MOCA and ADAS-cog as compared with the score before drug use.After 24 weeks' treatment,the donepezil group had higher MMSE (t=2.01,P＜0.05) and lower ADAS-cog (t=2.09,P＜0.05) scores than the huperzine group.30 patients (total effective rate was 42.3 ％) and 9 patients (total effective rate was 17.6 ％ ) became improved in donepezil and huperzine group,respectively,with significant difference (x2 =8.26,P＜0.01 ).There were 5 cases in the donepezil group and 3 cases in the huperzine group getting slight side-effects which disappeared by continuing to take drugs or by adjusting drug taking time.Conclusions Donepezil and huperzine as the cholinesterase inhibitors are effective and safe,and the efficacy of donepezil is faster and better in treating elderly patients with MCI.
