Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine 2009;48(12):999-1003
Objective To analyze the relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and left ventricular hypertrophy ( LVH ) in patients with early chronic kidney disease ( CKD ). Methods Homeostatic model method was used for detecting insulin resistance index (Homa-IR) in 108 patients with early CKD and 25 normal healthy cases, and the other clinical data such as Hb, creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) , parathyroid hormone (PTH) , ambulatory blood pressure monitoring ( ABPM ) data, including day average systolic blood pressure (dSBP), day average diastolic blood pressure (dDBP), night average systolic blood pressure ( nSBP) , night average diastolic blood pressure ( nDBP) , 24-hour mean systolic blood pressure (mSBP), 24-hour mean diastolic blood pressure (mDBP), decline in the percentage of diastolic blood pressure at night (nDPD) and decline in the percentage of systolic blood pressure at night (nDPS) were also measured. Echocardiography was used for measuring LVH relevant data, and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was calculated. Then, the relationship between LVH and IR and other clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. Results IR existed in early CKD patients. With the decline of Ccr, both the value of Homa-IR and the incidence of IR increased significantly (both P < 0. 05). LVH existed in early CKD patients and with the decline of Ccr, both LVMI value and the incidence of LVH increased significantly (both P <0. 01). Compared with the non-IR group, the IR group had higher LVMI value (P<0. 05) and higher incidence of LVH (P<0. 01). Compared with the non-LVH group, the LVH group had higher levels of Fins, 2hPG, Homa-IR (all P <0. 05), and higher incidence of IR (P <0. 01). The LVH group had significant lower levels of Ccr, Hb and nDPD (all P <0. 05) , higher levels of dSBP, dDBP, nSBP, nDBP, mSBP, mDBP and PTH (all P<0.05) than the non-LVH group. LVMI had significant positive correlations with 2hPG, Fins, Homa-IR, dSBP, nSBP, mSBP and PTH (r = 0.255, 0.373, 0.376,0.222,0.199,0.225,0.221,0.246, respectively; all P<0.05), but significant negative correlations with Hb and Ccr (r = -0.588,-0.313, respectively; both P<0.01). Multi-factor regression analysis showed that Hb, Homa-IR, and Ccr entered the regression equation (y = 167. 106 - 0. 755x_1 + 0. 250x_2 +0.322x_3, y = LVMI; 167. 106 = constant, t = 12. 138, P =0.000; x_1 =Hb, t= -6.800, P = 0. 000; x_2 = Homa-IR, t = 3. 229, P = 0. 002; x_3 = Ccr, t = 2. 898, P = 0. 005). Conclusion IR existed in early CKD patients and become more severe with the decline of renal function. IR had a significant correlation with LVH, and it may be an important risk factor for the development of LVH. Besides, both anemia and decline of renal function are also associated with LVH.

Objective To analyze the cases of malignant tumors found in health examination in our hospital, and to determine the prevalence and characteristics of malignant tumor, and to provide evidence for the development of effective early screening program. Methods A total of 468673 subjects were included from those who had health checkup from July 2009 to December 2014 at the physical examination center. The subjects were between 4 to 96 years of age, with average age of (56.0±12.5) years. Of them, there were 278484 men, 190189 women. All cases found in the examination were confirmed with pathological testing. Prevalence comparison was done withχ2 test, statistic significance level was set at P<0.05. Results Totally 753 cases of malignant tumors were found in 6 consecutive years, with an overall prevalence rate at 160.7/100000. The prevalence rate increased yearly from 50.0/100000 for the first year, and 100.6/100000, 146.1/100000, 149.1/100000, 188.9/100000, 221.6/100000 thereafter. The difference between each 2 years was statistically significant (P<0.01). The top ten malignant tumors were liver cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, leukemia and thyroid cancer. The prevalence rates of malignant tumors in the top three were liver cancer, lung cancer and kidney cancer for man and cervical cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer for women respectively. With the increase of age, the incidence of malignant tumor showed a rising trend, especially for the group of over 80 years old. But women with cervical cancer in the 50-years age group was the highest. Conclusion The number of cases of malignant tumors found in the health checkup population was rising. It is important to include early screening for malignant tumor in physical examination. We should also pay attention to the relevant departments, in order to improve the early cancer detection rate and decrease the morbidity and mortality of malignant tumors.

Objective:To investigate the priorities of each factor influencing the casualties in refugees living in border areas, so as to provide evidence for casualty forecasting in the refugees. Methods: We summarized the factors affecting the refugee casualty in the border area through searching and reviewing the related literatures. The identified factors were classified into 3 levels and the quantitative index system was established by using Delphi method, i.e. expert consulting method. The names and the meanings of each index were revised according to experts’ suggestions after 3 rounds of consulting. The weights of each index were determined by analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and comparing-reordering method. Results: A 3-level quantitative system was successfully constructed, which consisted of 4 first level indices (including natural factors, social factors, medical factors, and war factors), 12 second level indices, and 37 third level indices; the weights of all indices were determined. Conclusion: The result of our study can be used in predicting refugee casualty and provide a reference for the medical service of refugees living in the border areas.

Objective:To investigate the analysis of features and differential diagnosis of ultrasonic image for patient with endometrial lesions.Methods: The imaging data of 80 patients with endometrial lesions were selected as random number table. The relevant ultrasound manifestations and sonographic features of patients were further analyzed, and then these data were compared with the pathological diagnosis by using operation.Results: In the 80 patients with endometrial lesions, 43 cases were endometrial polyps, and in the 43 cases, there were 41 cases were consistent with the pathological diagnosis and the diagnostic accordance rate was 95.35%, while there were 2 cases were not consistent between the two methods. 33 cases of the 80 patients were submucous myoma of uterus, and there were 29 cases of them were consistent with the pathological diagnosis and the diagnostic accordance rate was 87.88%, while there were 4 cases were not inconformity. And 4 cases of the 80 patients were endometrial carcinoma, the result was completely consistent with the pathological diagnosis and the diagnostic accordance rate was 100%. In the 6 misdiagnose cases, the ratios of atypical cases and (or) typical cases were 1:16, 5:36 and 1:8, respectively. All of these endometrial lesions has the distinctive manifestations on the ultrasonoscopy of color Doppler.Conclusion: For the detection of endometrial lesions, transvaginal colar Doppler ultrasonic detection has unique feature of ultrasonogram compared with other detection methods. In the contrast, there is a regular congruent relationship between the ultrasonogram of typical disease and section of pathological specimen by using operation in a certain degree, and the ultrasonogram of typical disease has definite diagnosis value.
