Objective To investigate and analyze the effect and insulin dosage of insulin pump in type 2 diabetes. Methods 63 hospital patients with type 2 diabetes(FPG≥12mmol/L), who had poorly controlled blood glucose, were treated by insulin pump for 14 days, without hypoglycemic agents. The treatment days when blood glucose was well controlled and the insulin dosage at that time were observed. FPG, CBG, HbA1c, FINS/FPG, ISI, Homa-B and Homa-IR were measured before and after insulin pump. Results When blood glucose were well controlled, the mean time was (5.4+1.6) days, the insulin was (0.6+0.2)U/kg, the basal insulin was 38%. The dosage of insulin was decreased after blood glucose were controlled. Reaction of hypoglycemia was (0.6+0.2). After 2 weeks insulin pump intensive treatment, the result of FPG, CBG, HOMA-IR and HbA1c were significantly decreased (all P<0.01); FINS/FPG, HOMA-B and ISI were incleased (all P<0.01). Conclusion The excellent glycemic control and improvement of beta-cell function can be induced by short-term insulin pump intensive therapy in diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients with severe hypoglycemia.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the imaging features of osteopoikilosis and its diagnosis knowledge.

METHODSThe imaging data of 9 patients with osteopoikilosis were analyzed retrospectively, including 6 familial cases and 3 sporadic cases. In 6 familial cases,there were 4 males and 2 females with an average age of 28 years old ranging from 10 to 63 years. Clinical manifestations of 1 familial case were left knee pain and limitation of activity for 3 years, and other 5 cases without clinical manifestation. In 3 sporadic cases, there were 2 males and 1 female with an average age of 33.7 years old ranging from 25 to 44 years. Three sporadic cases had obvious injury history with following up from 6 to 12 months. All imaging results of 9 cases were observed.

RESULTSThe imaging data of 6 familial osteopoikilosis showed the multiple round or oval nodes within bone with clear margins, uniform density, different size. The occurrence of the hyperostotic spots preferentially localized in the epiphyses and metaphyses of the long bones, and carpus and tarus. X-ray features of 3 sporadic osteopoikilosis were similar to that of 6 familial cases and for 6 to 12 months follow-up X-ray features were unchanged.

CONCLUSIONThe imaging features of osteopoikilosis are relatively specific such as the multiple mottling dense focal within bone with clear border and bilateral symmetry, and the focus located on cancellous bone and the diaphyses usually is unaffected. The imaging is a valuable examination for the accurate diagnosis of osteopoikilosis.

Objective To sum up the measures for nursing the patients with laparoscopic gastrectomy-induced anastomotic leakage treated by open center vacuum aspiration. Method We retrospectively reviewed the histories of 22 patients with laparoscopic gastrectomy-induced anastomotic leakage to look into the nursing measures to look into the management of open vacuum aspiration , observation of the drainage, leakage care, mental care. Results The time for open center vacuum aspiration was between 10 to 17 days, averaged (15.63 ± 3.22)d. The hospital stay was between 13 to 23 days, averaged (17.21 ± 5.47)d. No complications were observed. Conclusions The nursing measures for managing the anastomotic leakage can be effective in improving the effect of peritoneal irrigation. The mental care can be effective for the reduction of patients′pains so as to promote the heal of the leakages.

Objective To systematically evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combined portal vein resection and reconstruction in the resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods Literatures were researched using Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,China Biology Medicine disc,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang database,VIP database from January 31,2006 to January 31,2016 with the key words including “hilar cholangiocarcinoma”“Klatskin tumor”“Bile duct neoplasm”“Vascular resection”“portal vein resection”“肝门部胆管癌”“血管切除”“门静脉切除”.The clinical studies of resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma with portal vein resection and construction and without vascular resection and construction were received and enrolled.Two reviewers independently screened literatures,extracted data and assessed the risk of bias.Patients who underwent resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma combined with portal vein resection and reconstruction were allocated into the portal vein resection group and patients who didn't undergo vascular resection were allocated into the no vascular resection group.Analysis indicators included (1) results of literature retrieval;(2) results of Meta-analysis:① incidence of postoperative complications (hepatic failure,biliary fistula,intra-abdominal hemorrhage),② postoperative mortality,③ patients' prognosis,④ related indicators of postoperative pathology (lymph node metastasis rate,moderate-and low-differentiated rate,nerve invasion rate,negative rate of resection margin).The heterogeneity of the studies was analyzed using the I2 test.The hazard ratio (HR) and 95％ confidence interval (CI) were used for assessing the prognostic indicators.The incidence of complications,mortality and pathological indicators were evaluated by the odds ratio (OR) and 95％ CI.Results (1) Results of literature retrieval:13 retrospective studies were eurolled in the meta-analysis,and the total sample size was 1 668 cases including 437 in the portal vein resection group and 1 231 in the no vascular resection group.(2) Results of Meta-analysis:① incidence of postoperative complications was respectively 39.86％ in the portal vein resection group and 35.27％ in the no vascular resection group,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (OR =1.12,95％ CI:0.82-1.53,P ＞0.05).The results of subgroup analysis showed that hepatic failure,biliary fistula and intra-abdominal hemorrhage were postoperative main complications,and the incidences were 17.09％,8.79％,6.25％ in the portal vein resection group and 10.62％,9.69％,2.51％ in the no vascular resection group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (OR =0.48,1.13,0.82,95％ CI:0.23-1.02,0.45-2.83,0.21-3.12,P ＞ 0.05).② Postoperative mortality was respectively 5.38％ in the portal vein resection group and 3.88％ in the no vascular resection group,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (OR =1.16,95％ CI:0.62-2.14,P ＞ 0.05).③ There was statistically significant difference in patients' prognosis between the 2 groups (HR =1.81,95％ CI:1.52-2.16,P ＜ 0.05).④ The related indicators of postoperative pathology:lymph node metastasis rate,moderate-and low-differentiated rate and negative rate of resection margin were 41.55％,76.42％,63.74％ in the portal vein resection group and 33.42％,66.75％,64.29％ in the no vascular resection group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (OR =1.45,1.59,0.67,95％ CI:0.95-2.21,0.97-2.61,0.37-1.20,P ＞ 0.05).The nerve invasion rate was 83.47％ in the portal vein resection group and 64.90％ in the no vascular resection group,with a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (OR =2.61,95 ％ CI:1.45-4.70,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Combined portal vein resection and reconstruction is safe and feasible in the treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma,and the prognosis of patients with portal vein invasion is worse than that without portal vein invasion.

Objective To illustrate the evaluation effect of bivariate analysis of sensitivity and specificity meta-analysis model in diagnosis test to provide basis for selecting better evaluation method of diagnostic test.Methods Bivariate model was presented by reanalyzing the data from a published meta-analysis of two diagnostic techniques in diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica.Results The bivariate model could directly provide summary estimates of(logit)sensitivity,specificity and DOR with corresponding 95% CI for two diagnostic tests(IHA and ELISA).Also,it could elicit any significant difference that existed among sensitivity,specificity and DOR between the two diagnostic methods,and incorporate any correlation that existed between sensitivity;specificity.Conclusion The bivariate model preserves the two dimensional nature of the original data,and separates effects of sensitivity and specificity,which is more rational than a net effect on diagnostic odds ratio scale as in SROC approach.The bivariate model is appropriate and agile,and can be used as an extension and improvement of the traditional SROC method.
