Objective To estimate the value of neck circumference in diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. Methods We analyzed the neck circumference of 523 volunteers and the occurrence of metabolic syndrome among them. Then we updated and revalued their data after follow-up for 1.5 years, meanwhile, we evaulated the value of Body Mass Index (BMI) and neck circumference in predicting metabolic syndrome. Results The increase of neck circumference was closely related to the occurrence of metabolic syndrome , and this tendency continued in the follow-up. Compared with BMI , neck circumference was sensitive in identifying the patients of metabolic syndrome. Conclusion Neck circumference has great value in diagnosis and treatment of metabolic syndrome.

Objective To study the characteristics of neonatal sepsis caused by gram positive (G +) bacteria,gram negative (G+) bacteria and fungi.Method Clinical data of 202 neonates with sepsis hospitalized from Jan.2012 to May.2015 were studied.According to the different pathogens,202 neonates were divided into gram positive bacteria group,gram negative bacteria group and fungi group.The general information,clinical manifestation,laboratory examination and treatment outcome of the three groups were analysed with Chi square analysis,LSD,Fisher exact probability tests.Result A total of 202 cases of neonatal sepsis were recruited.The detection rate of gram positive bacteria,gram negative bacteria and fungi was 35.2％ (71 cases),56.4％ (114 cases) and 8.4％ (17 cases),respectively.Comparing with gram negative group and fungi group,gram positive group had older gestational age (36.0 ± 3.8 w,compared with gram negative 33.0 ± 3.9 w,fungi group 31.2 ± 3.2 w,P ＜ 0.05),larger birth weight (2 620 ± 925 g compared with gram negative group 1 999 ± 849 g,fungi group 1 595 ± 666 g,P ＜ 0.05),lower nosocomial infection rate (29.6％ compared with gram negative group 70.2％,fungi group 94.1％,P ＜0.05),lower rate of shock,blood glucose disturbance and thrombocytopenia (P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistics difference between the gram negative group and fungi group.Comparing with the other two groups,fungi group was older [20.0 (11.5,39.5) d compared with gram positive group 7.0 (2.0,17.0) d,and gram negative 10.0 (6.0,18.2) d,P ＜ 0.05].The rate of deep venous catheterization in fungi group was higher than that in gram positive group and gram negative group (88.2％ compared with gram positive group 25.4％,gram negative group 40.4％,P ＜0.05).The treatment course of fungi group was longer than that of the gram positive group and gram negative group [22.0 (12.0,37.5) d compared with the gram positive group 14.0 (10.0,17.0) d,gram negative group 14.0 (11.0,18.0) d,P ＜0.05].The incidence of apnea in the gram negative group was higher than that in gram positive group and fungi group (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of leukocytosis,leukocytopenia and elevated CRP were higher in gram negative and gram positive group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The clinical manifestations and laboratory examinations in neonatal sepsis caused by different pathogens were different,which can help to early identification of different pathogenic infections.However,there is no specific indicators to differentiate neonatal sepsis caused by different pathogens.Early identification of the pathogen needs clinical acumen.
