Objective To investigate the correlation between serum adiponectin level and severity of coronary artery disease.Methods We measured the serum concentrations of adiponectin in 135 patients whom had received CAG.The severity of coronary artery lesion was evaluated by Gensini score,the number of stenosis vessel and clinical manifestation.Results The serum concentrations of adiponectin in Gensini score 0 group(74.53?30.76 ng/mL)and score 40 group(28.96?11.87 ng/mL)(P40 group were lower than those in score 20-40 group(P

Objective To understand the correlation between insulin resistance(IR) and adrenal androgen excess in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods According to BMI, 90 adolescents with PCOS were divided to groups of normal weight PCOS(NW-PCOS,33 cases,BMI<25.0 kg/m2) and obesity PCOS(OB-PCOS,57 cases, BMI≥ 25.0 kg/m2),and 15 normal weight healthy girls matched for age as controls.All patients had normal OGTT.Acute ACTH stimulating test was performed on patients, and cortisol (F), 17-hydroxyprogesterone(17-OHP), dehydroepiandrosterone(DHEA) during ACTH testing at 0 and 60 minute (steroid0 and steroid60) were determined. Results Compared with controls, NW-and OB-PCOS patients showed significantly greater levels of total testosterone (T), Luteotropic hormone(LH), FIns, 2 hIns, and HOMA-IR(P<0.01).The freqnencies of hirsuties and acne, and serum level of FIns, 2 hIns, and HOMA-IR were significantly higher and LH levels were much lower in the group of OB-PCOS than those in NW-PCOS(P<0.05 and P<0.01).ACTH stimulating test showed that PCOS patients had significantly higher levels of basal 17-OHP0, DHEA0, as well as 60-minute ACTH-stimulated levels (Steroid60) of 17-OHP60、DHEA60, and net increase of 17-OHP(Δ17-OHP)as compared with normal controls(P<0.05 and P<0.01).The 60-minute ACTH-stimulated levels of 17-OHP60, DHEA60,Δ17-OHP, and ΔDHEA were also higher in group of OB-PCOS than those in group of NW-PCOS(P<0.05 and P<0.01), and there were no obvious discrepancies in basal 17-OHP0, DHEA0 between OB-PCOS and NW-PCOS groups.Spearman correlation analysis showed that in group of OB-PCOS, HOMA-IR value was significantly associated with BMI, 17-OHP60, Δ17-OHP, DHEA60, ΔDHEA(P<0.05 and P<0.01); whereas in group of NW-PCOS, HOMA-IR was associated only with BMI(P<0.01). Conclusions The significantly higher basal and ACTH-stimulated levels of 17-OHP and DHEA indicates adrenal hyperresponsiveness in adolescents with PCOS.Adrenal androgen excess appears to be closely associated with insulin resistance in obese adolescents with PCOS

Objective To study the age peak of incidence,pathologic sites,therapeutic effect and complications of different treatment for hip fractures in the elderly.Methods Hip fractures,therapy,elderly were used as key words to search articles both in English and Chinese from 1979 to 2017.The articles were filtrated by title,abstract and full text and 32 of them were left.All the patients were objects of this study,but the repeated cases were excluded.The patients' data such as age of onset,gender,fracture type,operation method,follow-up time,and complications were collected and analyzed by systematic analysis.Results Data of 2 758 patients in 32 papers had been collected for analysis.There were 1791 femoral neck fractures and 967 intertrochanteric fractures,with a ratio of 1.85:1.The patients' age of onset was ranging from 54 to 92 years old,with an average of 76.7 years old,and the age peak of incidence was from 70 to 79 years old.The sex ratio was 1:1.66 (1 037 males:1721 females).All the patients had been followed up for 0.5 to 18 years,(average,7.8 years).Among 927 femoral neck fractures who were treated by 3 lag screws,there were 278 cases of non-union (29.9％),139 femoral head necrosis(15.1％) and 19 internal fixation loosening (2.0％);but for 183 femoral neck fractures who were treated by dynamic hip screws (DHS),there were 51 cases of non-union (28.1％),31 femoral head necrosis(17.0％),3 internal fixation losening(1.8％),and 27 cutting effect (15％).Then for 400 femoral neck fractures who were treated by hemiarthroplasty,there were 6 cases of dislocation(1.5％),14 shaft fracture (3.5％),8 deep infection (2.0％);while for 281 femoral neck fractures who were treated by total hip arthroplasty,there were 14 cases of dislocation (5.0％),11 shaft fracture (4.0％),and 10 deep infection (3.5％).On the other hand,for 354 intertrochanteric fractures who were treated by proximal femoral nail or proximal femoral nail antirotation internal fixation (PFN or PFNA),there were 18 cases of trochanter fracture (5.0％),28 hip varus (8.1％),32 displacement (9.0％);and for 210 intertrochanteric fractures who were treated by Gamma nail,there were 17 cases of trochanter fracture (7.9％),11 cutting effect (5.0％),6 displacement (3.0％);and for 135 intertrochanteric fractures who were treated by DHS,there were 8 cases of cutting effect (6.1％),7 displacement (5.2％);and for 101 intertrochanteric who were treated by proximal femoral locking plate,there were 5 cases of displacement (5.0％);Also for 89 intertrochanteric fractures who were treated by hemiarthroplasty,there were 2 cases of dislocation(1.8％),3 shaft fracture (3.0％),1 deep infection(1.5％);and for 78 intertrochanteric fractures who were treated by total hip arthroplasty,there were 4 cases of dislocation (4.8％),3 shaft fracture (4.0％),2 deep infection (2.5％).Conclusion The elderly hip fractures' age peak of incidence is from 70 to 79 years old,and femoral neck fracture takes up a majority of it.Female patients are more than male patients.The femoral neck fractures are mainly treated by 3 lag screws internal fixation;non-union and femoral head necrosis are the common complications postoperation.While the intertrochanteric fractures are mainly treated by proximal femoral nails;displacement,hip varus and trochanter fractures are the common complications postoperation.The artificial hip replacement is the effective remedy measure for secondary femoral head necrosis after hip fractures.

Objective To investigate the relationship between glycated albumin ( GA ) and extent of coronary lesions, GRACE score in patients with acute non?ST segmentelevation myocardial infarction ( NSTEMI) . Methods A total of 226 NSTEMI patients who successfully underwent coronary angiography ( CAG) were enrolled in the study. Groups:( 1) According to GA level,the patients were divided into 3 groups:GA<14. 2% group,14. 2%≤GA≤17. 0% group,GA>17. 0% group. ( 2) According to the extent of coronary le?sions,the patients were divided into 2 groups:single or double branch lesion group,three and/or left main lesion group. ( 3) According to the GRACE score,the patients were divided into 3 groups:Low?risk GRACE score≤108 points group,Medium?risk 108 points140 points group. The extent of coronary lesions was evaluated by Gensini score. The clinical characteristics and Gensini score,GRACE score of each group were compared. Pearson/Spearman correlation analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the association of GA with the severity of coronary artery disease and GRACE score. Results With glycated albumin increasing,the Gensini score(56. 51±38. 57,68. 30±35. 57,77. 38±36. 52),GRACE score(139. 43±29. 96,149. 77±38. 33,170. 75±27. 52) increased significantly,and significant differences were found between groups( F=5. 587,16. 006,P=0. 004,0. 000) . The ejection fraction( EF) of 3 groups were signif?icantly decrease((58. 30±13. 95)%,(56. 45±10. 79)%,(53. 06±12. 51)%;F=3. 126,P=0. 046). Proportion of severe coronary lesions of 3 groups were increase significantly( 59. 5%( 44/74) ,68. 2%( 60/88) ,87. 5%( 56/64),χ2=13. 528,P=0. 001). The level of GA in three and/or left main lesion group was higher than that in sin?gle or double branch lesion group((13. 92±3. 14)% vs. (16. 80±3. 58)%,t=-5. 693,P=0. 000). The level of GA in High?risk group was higher than that in Low?risk group ( ( 14. 70 ± 1. 54 )% vs. ( 16. 63 ± 4. 02 )%, t=6. 512,P=0. 002) . Correlation analysis showed that the level of GA had significant positive correlation with Gensini score and GRACE score(r=0. 309,0. 265;P=0. 000,0. 000),while had a negative correlation with LVEF(r=-0. 149,P=0. 034). Logistic regression analysis indicated that GA was independent risk factors for severity of coronary artery disease in patients with NSTEMI who successfully underwent CAG( OR=1. 441,95%CI:1. 160?1. 790,P=0. 001) . Conclusion GA level is increase in NSTEMI patients with severe coronary ar?tery disease and risk stratification high. GA is the independent risk factors for severity of coronary artery disease in patients with NSTEMI;GA has significant correlation with dangerous degree in patients with NSTEMI.

Objective To establish the rat model of acute stress during chronic heart failure and evaluate it.Methods Male Wistar rats were injected adrimycin(ADR)via abdominal cavity to induce heart failure.Cardiovascular dynamics and heart pathology were measured.Rats with heart failure received bacterial lipopolysaccharide(LPS)0.2 mg/kg by peritoneal injection to induce acute stress,and we measured blood pressure,heart rate and the expression of HO-1 after LPS injection.Results ADR peritoneal injection led to heart failure successfully.Compared with that in normal group,left ventricular function(?LVdp/dtmax)of rats in model group reduced significantly,and myocardial fibrosis and hypertrophy occurred,too.LPS peritoneal injection led to acute stress in rats with heart failure.Heart rate and blood pressure began to rise 0.5 h after LPS injection and reached at 1 h after LPS injection.The expression of myocardium HO-1 increased at 6 h and was significantly higher at 12 h after LPS injection.The expression of HO-1 was higher in model group than in normal group.Conclusion LPS peritoneal injection successfully leads to acute stress in rats with heart failure,providing a reliable model for study of decompensated heart failure.

A cross sectional study of 769 patients was performed to evaluate the association of blood uric acid with coronary heart disease (CHD) in different metabolic disorders. It showed that uric acid was not independently associated with CHD. However, when the other abnormal metabolic factors were absent, uric acid might be related to CHD.

Objective To adopt Orem self-care model to assestt the dependency care ability of care-givers for surgery orphans and analyze its defective level of dependency case,then propose corresponding nursing policy. Methods 16 caregivers for surgery orphans were surveyed with self-made questionnaire which included the general condition of the caregivers,the nursing situation for orphans and the require-ment for dependency care ability of the caregivers.Results All questionnaires were withdrew.The pro-portion of providing correct primary care for orphans was up to 62.50%～93.75%.But the proportion of pro-viding correct rehabilitation exercises was lower than 43.75%.96% caregivers wished to obtain the relative nursing knowledge by training and improve their dependency care ability.Conclmions The caregivers' dependency care ability can meet the needs of orphans' basic dependency care.But the defect still exists,the nurses should adopt different nursing compensation for different orphans and different care defects.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of adenosine stress ~(99m)Tc-MIBI myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (ECT)in elderly patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Fifty-three patients aged ≥60 years without the history of myocardial infarction were included in the research. The average age of the patients was(65.5±6.5) years (60-78 years old). All patients underwent adenosine stress ~(99m)Tc- MIBI myocardial perfusion single photon ECT and coronary angiography (CAG) within 2 months, and the results were compared. Results Compared with CAG, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accurate index of ECT were 73.7%, 90.9%, 94.3%, 80.0% and 62.3%, respectively. The specificity for left anterior descending artery, left circumflex artery and right coronary artery of ECT were 90.9%, 85.7% and 100%, respectively, and the positive predictive values were 73.5%, 77.3% and 72.0%, respectively. Conclusions Adenosine is a strong vasodilator and it has multiple effects on cardiovascular system. Combination of angiocardiography and myocardial perfusion imaging can be used in diagnosis of coronary artery disease. ECT is a noninvasive, convenient and low cost method and plays an important role in diagnosing, directing treatment and judging prognosis of CAD in the elderly patients.

Objective To investigate the advantage and application prospect of 3D printing technology in assisting surgery for complex tibial plateau fractures.Methods The complete clinical data of 41 patients (48 knees) were retrospectively analyzed.And these patients were divided into two groups as 3D printing assisted operation group and traditional operation group,according to whether 3D printing technology was applied.Study was carried out to compare the clinical efficacy of surgery assisted by 3D printing technology and traditional surgery in the treatment of complex tibial plateau fractures.The 3D printing assisted operation group included 18 patients (22 knees,12 males and 6 females),aging from 16 to 68 (mean age 45.5±7.2),and there were 12 cases of Schatzker Ⅴ and 10 Ⅵ.The traditional operation group included 23 patients (26 knees,15 males and 8 females),aging from 19 to 69 (mean age,46.2±6.8),and there were 14 cases of Schatzker Ⅴ and 12 Ⅵ.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,the Rasmussen score and hospital for special surgery knee score (HSS) at 6 weeks post-operation were analyzed and the difference between the two groups was tested.Results All those patients were followed up for 7 to 20 months (mean 15 months).For 3D printing assisted operation group,the mean operation time was 81.4±6.3 min for Schatzker Ⅴ and 90.6± 15.4 min for Schatzker Ⅵ;the mean intraoperative blood loss was 200.4±72.3 ml for Schatzker Ⅴ and 280.6±101.6 ml for Schatzker Ⅵ;the result of 6-week Rasmussen score was 14 excellent,6 good and 2 fair (excellent and good rate 90.9％);the result of 6-week HSS score was 15 excellent,5 good and 2 fair (excellent and good rate 90.9％).Then for traditional operation group,the mean operation time was 100.4± 15.3 min for Schatzker Ⅴ and 111.5±20.2 min for Schatzker Ⅵ;the mean intraoperative blood loss was 450.4±173.3 ml for Schatzker Ⅴ and 500.5±247.2 ml for Schatzker Ⅵ;the result of 6-week Rasmussen score was 14 excellent,8 good,2 fair and 2 bad (excellent and good rate 84.6％);the result of 6-week HSS score was 13 excellent,8 good,2 fair and 3 bad (excellent and good rate 80.8％).The difference in operation time,intraoperative blood loss had statistical significance between the two groups;but the difference in 6-month post-operation Rasmussen score and HSS score had no statistical significance.Conclusion Compared with traditional surgery,3D printing technology assisted surgery for complex tibial plateau fracture possesses advantage such as shortened operation time,reduced intraoperative blood loss;but there's no evidence for improved knee function at 6 weeks post-operation.
