Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2013;(2):175-177
Objective To investigate the clinical features,treatment,medication and abnormal metabolism control status in elderly benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods The 397 patients with BPH aged >60 years (294 with MS) were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical features,treatment and control status were analyzed.Results Body mass index,waist circumference (BMI),2 hPBG,systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,TG and uric acid,urinary albumin/creatinine ratio,urinary albumin were higher and HDL-C was lower in BPH with MS than without MS (P<0.05).Prostate volume,PSA level,IPSS score,quality of life score were higher in BPH patients with MS than without MS (P<0.05).Treatment modality analysis showed that lower urinary tract symptoms was mild,watchful waiting accounted for 22.3%,urinary retention or obstruction related operation treatment for 8.7%,moderate to severe symptoms related oral drugs treatments for 67%,the oral drug treatment was still the main mode of BPH.In the patients with abnormal levels of glucose metabolism,the target arrival rate (TAR) on FBG,2 hPBG and HbAlc were 49.6%,34.9% and 37.5%,TAR on all the three was 19.1%.In the hypertensive population,TAR on systolic and diastolic pressure were 44.1% and 82.5%,TAR on both two was 41.7%.TG,TC,LDL-C and HDL-C were 31.3%,35.4%,48.2% and 64.9%,on all the four was 29.9%.Conclusions The ratio of elderly BPH with MS is high,but the target arrival rate on control of urinary tract symptoms and abnormal metabolism component is not optimistic in spite of a positive drug administration.
2.Latest update on diagnosis and treatment of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in children
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2014;(3):289-292
Steroid-restant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is often continuously relapsed, and even develops into end-stage renal di-sease. It has been a great difficulty in the treatment of nephritic syndrome in children. In recent years, many researchers of children SRNS on diagnosis, pathology, treatment have been carried on domestically and in abroad. This paper reviews the latest update on the di-agnosis and treatment of SRNS in children.

Objective Exploration of best effect on washing medical instrument between automatic cleaning sterilizer and ultrasonic cleaners.Methods Suppose washing method A and method B.A:directly put medical instrument into automatic cleaning sterilizer,wash,sterilize and dry it step by step.B:place medical instrument into ultrasonic cleaners,wash with ultra sonic,shower with cool water,sterilize and dry with hot water.Results By comparison,after washing method A,there remains 0.33‰ residue on the medical instrument while after B there are 0.03‰ remains.It has an evident difference between result of the two methods(?~2=46.546,P=0.000).Especially on the cleaning result of saw-shaped medical instrument:A method has 0.52‰ residue while method B is 0.04‰,which is of great significance.But there exists no significant difference of washing result on non saw-shaped instrument(?~2=2.667,P=0.102).Conclusion Ultrasonic cleaners can reach the optimum washing effect on saw-shaped medical instrument,with a great decline on residue after cleaning.And automatic cleaning sterilizer can wash large quantity of non saw-shaped,saving labor and enhancing efficiency by automation cleaning process.Therefore,adpoting different equipment to wash different instrument can efficiently improve cleaning effect and ensure safe and qualified stelization.

Objective To explore the effect of transport procedure adopted on intra-hospital transport of critically ill patients. Methods Three hundred and fifteen critically ill patients(control group)were intra-hospital transported adopting traditional method,while 309 ones(experimental group)adopting transport procedure. The occurrence rate of accidents of both groups and satisfactory rate of nurses in which the patients were admitted.Result The occurrence rate of accidents in experiment group was lower than that in control group and the satisfactory rate of nurses on transport procedure was higher than that on traditional method with statistical difference(P<0.01).Conclusion The application of transport procedure can effectively minimize the risk of critically ill patients during intra-hospital transport and increase satisfactory rate of medical staffs.

Objective To investigate the effects of paired associative stimulation (PAS) on the recovery of upper limb motor function in stroke patients,and to analyze the relationship between the change of motor cortex excitability in the contralesional hemisphere and the recovery of motor function in the affected upper limb.Methods Thirty hemiplegic stroke patients were divided randomly into a treatment group and a control group.Both groups were given routine rehabilitation therapy,but the treatment group also received PAS consisting of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the intact motor cortex and electrical stimulation (ES) of the median nerve at the wrist of the intact arm with an interval of 10 ms between the TMS and ES (PAS10).The PAS10 was delivered at a frequency of 0.05 Hz and an intensity of 120% the resting motor threshold (RMT),once daily for 30 minutes,five times a week for 4 weeks.Corticospinal excitability was measured using motor evoked potentials (MEP) and the RMT.The FuglMeyer upper limb assessment (FMA),Brunnstrom staging and the modified Barthel index (MBI) were also applied before and at the end of the 4 weeks of treatment.Correlation was sought between any changes in MEP amplitude,the RMT of the contralesional hemisphere and changes in the FMA results.Results Before the intervention there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of any of the assessments.After 4 weeks of treatment,all the assessments had changed significantly compared to those before the treatment,but there were still no significant differences between the two groups in terms of any the assessments.After 4 weeks of treatment,the differences in MEP amplitude from the contra-lesional hemisphere and the differences in FMA scores were positively and significantly correlated with a correlation coefficient of r =0.431.The lesioned hemisphere was also positively correlated with the differences in FMA scores with a significant correlation coefficient of r =0.608.Conclusion PAS10 can facilitate the recovery of upper limb motor function.The change in motor cortex excitability of the contra-lesional hemisphere significantly correlates with functional recovery in the upper limb.

Objective:EAE model of male and female Wistar rats was established respectively.The sex difference was evaluated.Methods:40 wistar rats were devided into male and female group (n=20).EAE model was established respectively in the two groups using Guinea pig spinal cord homogenate without PBS perfusion.30 days later,the spinal cord were taken and embedded in wax,and paraffin sections of the two groups were examined by histopathology.The differences in onset time,incidence rate,course of disease and neurologic score between the two groups were evaluated.Results:The onset time of female group was 13.67?3.50 days,its incidence rate was 60%.The onset time of male Wistar rat was 12.18?1.55 days,and its incidence rate was 85%.The feature of diseases course in female rat was relapse after recovery,but that in male rat was transient.The average clinical score of female group was 2.20?1.96,and that of male group was 3.46?1.61.Conclusion:Compared with female Wistar rat,the male had higher incidence rate and its diseases course was transient.The results of our study provided a useful foundation for further studies on the pathogenesis and the sex differences of multiple sclerosis.

Objective:To explore the possibility of inducing cell mediated immune response with HSP70 antigenic peptide complex in vitro.Methods:HSP70 peptide complex was reconstituted in vitro.Granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factors and interleukin 4 were used to cultivate DC from peripheral blood of HLA A2 positive healthy donors.HSP70,HSP70 peptide complex or peptide was used to activate the DC individually,which will initiate homogenize T lymphocyte to form cytotoxic T lymphocyte(CTL).The cytotxicity of the CTL was detected by MTT assay.Results:It was found that peptide specific CD8 + CTL responses were readily elicited by HSP70 peptide complex or peptide.The CTL response primed by HSP70 peptide complex was more potene than peptide alone.Conclusion:The results suggest that HSP70 peptide complex is immunogenic and HSP70 can lead to great efficient CTL response,antigenic peptides and HSP70 complex may be used as peptide vaccines for cancer immunotherapy.
