Objective To analyze the relationship between cystatin C(Cys C) and homocysteine(Hcy) in patients with early diabetic nephropathy.Methods48 cases of T2DM patients from June 2013 to December 2015 in our hospital for treatment were chosen as the observation group, including 30 patients with early diabetic nephropathy patients as the observation group 1, 18 cases of T2DM patients as the observation group 2, were selected in our hospital physical examination of 28 healthy persons as control group,serum Cys C and Hcy levels were measured at the same time, urinary albumin / creatinine ratio (Ualb/cr) was measured in the observation group, test results of three groups were analyzed and compared.ResultsThe serum Cys C and Hcy in the observation group were significantly higher than the control group, and Cys C and Hcy levels in observed 1 group were significantly higher than that observed in the 2 group, the difference was statistically significant in the observation group, serum Cys C and Hcy level was positively correlated with Ualb/cr.ConclusionThe relationship between Cys C and Hcy levels and early diabetic nephropathy has very important significance in the early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy, can effectively improve the rate of diagnosis of early diabetic nephropathy patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of sepsis bundles in China.Method An observational study of 43 patients with severe pneumonia and septic shock admitted to the respiratory intertive care unit(1/11/2006-31/12/2007)was carried out.The selection criteria were in accordance with criteria set by International Conference On Sepsis in 2001.Implementation of 6 hours and 24 hours sepsis bundles was divided into 3 continu-ous phases consisting of education,trial,and application phase.A cohort of 43 patients with matched disease his-tory(1/1/2004-31/10/2006)was enrolled as control group.The percentages for categorical variables and mean±SD for continuous variables were reported.Chi-Square test.unpaired Student's t -test.paired-samples t test,univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used.Statistical significance was defined as P<0.05.Results There were very little significant differences in basic characteristics of patients between the two groups.Compared with control group,the differences in serrum lactate,fluid resuscitation and fluid volume infused within 6 hours and blood glucose control in shock subgroup were significant(P values were 0.024,0.009,0.045,and 0.000,respectively).Compared with control group,the differences in respiratory rate and oxygenation index of bundles group at 72 hours later were significant(P values were 0.033 and 0.041,respectively).Compared with control group,the differences in APACHE Ⅱ score and predicted mortality in shock subgroup of bundles were sig-nificant(P values were 0.017 and 0.040,respectively).Compared with control group,the reduction in absolute mortality was 23.30% in bundles group(P=0.019).Conclusions Implementation of sepsis bundles con-tributes noticeably to the significant reduction in mortality of patients with severe pneumonia and septic shock.

Objective To evaluate the effects of 0.0% and 0.02% atropine on pupil diameter (PD) and accommodation amplitude (AMP) in myopic children and analyze its relation factors.Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial design was adopted.One hundred and ninety-three myopia children were included from June to October,2016 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,all the children completed one-year follow-up.All the children were divided into three groups randomly,with 72,74 and 80 myopic children in 0.01% atropine group,0.02% atropine group and control group,respectively.The myopic children in 0.01% atropine group and 0.02% atropine group wore single-vision spectacle lenses and were treated with 0.01% and 0.02% atropine eye drops nightly,respectively.The myopic children in the control group wore spectacle lenses only.The PD and AMP were measured at baseline,and 4,8 and 12 months after treatment.Results There were no significant difference of baselinePD and AMP among the three groups (F=9.321,P=0.820;F=13.209,P=0.220).Compared with basline,after 12 months,the PD increased by 0.75,0.84 and 0.02 mm in 0.01% atropine group,0.02% atropine group and control group,respectively.There were statistically significant differences of PD among three groups at different time points (Fgroup =2.168,P=0.013;Ftime =2.139,P=0.015;Finteraction =2.148,P=0.001).Compared with baseline,the PD of 0.01% atropine group and 0.02% atropine group were increased 4,8 and 12 months after treatment,and the difference was statistically significant (all at P<0.001).The PD was stable in control group.After 12 months,the AMP were reduced by 1.25,1.12 and 0.28 D in 0.01% atropine group,0.02% atropine group and control group,respectively.There were statistically significant differences of AMP among the three groups at the different time points (Fgroup =18.346,P =0.034;Ftime =1.823,P =0.002;Fintercation =3.239,P =0.023).Compared with baseline,the AMP of 0.01% atropine group and 0.02% atropine group were increased 4,8 and 12 months after treatment,and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05).The AMP remained stable in control group.The change of PD in 0.01% atropine group and 0.02% atropine group was correlated with age,baseline PD and baseline eye axis length,respectively (β =0.060,P =0.019;β =-0.440,P<0.001;β =-0.37,P =0.045).The change in AMP of the atropine group was significantly correlated with the baseline adjustment range (β =-0.71,P<0.001).Conclusions 0.01% and 0.02% atropine show similar effects on pupil diameter and accommodation amplitude after 12 months of treatment in myopic children.
