Diabetic nephropathy ( DN) is one of the most serious chronic complications of diabetes and it is the main reason leading to end-stage renal disease.Epidemiological studies have shown that genetic susceptibility is one of the important factors in the development of DN . Regions coded by exon 4 of apolipoprotein E ( ApoE ) gene involved in lipid metabolism , which is considered to be a candidate susceptible gene for diabetic nephropathy .Articles on the relationship of APOE and diabetic nephropathy including case-control study , prospective follow-up study and meta-analysis are reviewed , and the conclusion suggests that APOE E2 allele may be one of the genetic risk factors for DN , and APOE E4 allele may be a protective factor.APOE may play its role in the development of DN through the participation in the lipid metabolism, regulation of cell growth factor activity in extracellular matrix and regulating gene expression in kidney protection and other aspects .However, the detailed mechanism of APOE polymorphism in diabetic nephropathy is unclear and needs further research .

Objective To study the prognostic influencing factors for intravenous thrombolysis combined with endovascular interventional therapy in patients with acute moderate to severe cerebral infarction. Methods From September 2013 to December 2015,the clinical data of 179 patients with moderate to severe acute cerebral infarction treated with intravenous thrombolysis combined with endovascular interventional therapy at the Cerebrovascular Disease Center,Shanghai Changhai Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. They were all treated with intravenous thrombolysis combined at least 1 endovascular interventional therapy (intra-arterial thrombolysis,mechanical thrombectomy or stenting)within 4. 5 h after onset. The patients with mRS ≤2 were divided into a good prognosis group (n = 71),those with 3≤mRS≤ 6 were divided into a poor prognosis group (n = 108)according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores after 3 months of treatment. The clinical data of both groups were analyzed,including age,sex,previous history,the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)score and Alberta stroke program early CT score (ASPECTS)immediately before and after treatment. The influencing factors of prognosis were further analyzed with multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results The rate of good prognosis was 39. 7%(71 / 179). There were significant differences in age,history of transient ischemic attack at 1 week before the disease onset,the NIHSS score,and ASPECTS score before thrombolysis (62 ± 14 years vs. 71 ± 11 years,8. 4% (6 / 71)vs. 1. 9% (2 / 108),16 ± 6 vs. 19 ± 6,and 9. 5 ± 1. 0 vs. 8. 5 ± 1. 9,respectively;all P < 0. 05). There were no significantly difference in other stroke risk factors between the 2 groups (all P > 0. 05). There were significant differences in the NIHSS score immediately after treatment,24 h intracranial hemorrhage transformation,and intraparenchymal hemorrhage between the good prognosis group and the poor prognosis group (10 ± 3 vs. 15 ± 7,7. 0%[5 / 71]vs. 28. 7%[31 / 108],and 0 vs. 12. 0%[13 / 108];all P < 0. 01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the age (OR,1. 047,95% CI 1. 014 -1. 081;P = 0. 005),NIHSS score immediately after treatment (OR,1. 121,95% CI 1. 050 -1. 196;P =0. 001)were the prognostic risk factors for intravenous thrombolysis combined with endovascular interven-tional therapy for moderate to severe cerebral infarction. The ASPECTS on admission (OR,0. 382,95% CI 0. 233 -0. 627;P < 0. 01)was the protective factor. Conclusions The age and the NIHSS score immediately after treatment are the prognostic risk factors for intravenous thrombolysis combined with endovascular inter-ventional therapy for moderate to severe cerebral infarction. With the increase of age and the NIHSS score after treatment,the prognosis of patients is even worse. With the increase of ASPECTS score at admission,the prognosis is better.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of short-segment transpedicular fixation combined with augmentation vertebroplasty in treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures. MethodsFrom November 2006 to September 2009, 37 patients with thoracolumbar burst fracture were admitted and received transpedicular fixation combined with calcium sulfate cement augmentation vertebroplasty, and the clinical data including fracture types, complications and following-up results were collected for analysis. The multimethod evaluation strategies involved the anterior vertebral body height, the sagittal Cobb's angle, the restoration of nervous function, internal fixation failure, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were retrospective analyzed. Results All patients were followed up for average 19 months (range, 14-37). There were no internal fixation failure, loss of reduction, neurological complications in all the patients. In 16 patients with partial neurologic deficits, 14 initially improved at the final follow-up, with no deterioration of neurologic functions. The mean time of calcium sulfate cement obvious absorption and union was 3 months and 5 months postoperatively, respectively. The anterior vertebral body height was 55.40%before surgery and 85.46% after surgery on average, ended up with 82.35%. The sagittai Cobb's angle was improved from 22.45° to 6.86°, ended up with 9.66° on average. The mean VAS and ODI at the final followup were respectively 1.2 and 20.4 on average. ConclusionShort-segment transpedicular fixation combined with augmentation vertebroplasty appears to be effective in achieving stable biomechanics with high security,which seems to be a feasible option in the management of thoracolumbar burst fractures.
