Objective To investigate the risk factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and correlations with carotid atherosclerosis.Methods The clinical data of 51 cases of N AFLD with T2DM (NAFLD with T2DM group),43 cases of NAFLD(NAFLD group) and 45 healthy objects (control group) were collected.The clinical biochemical features,carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) were observed.Results The BMI and smoking rate in NAFLD with T2DM group and NAFLD group were significandy higher than those in control group [(27.25 ±3.16),(26.31 ± 2.63) kg/m2 vs.(23.12 ±3.44) kg/m2,43.1％(22/51),37.2％(16/43) vs.13.3％(6/45)](P＜0.05).The ratio of family history of T2DM in NAFLD with T2DM group was significantly higher than that in NAFLD group and control group[66.7％(34/51)vs.32.6％(14/43),8.9％(4/45)](P ＜ 0.05).Compared with control group,the level of total cholesterol (TC),trigalloyl glycerol (TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),alanine transaminase(ALT),aspartic transaminase(AST),IMT in NAFLD with T2DM group and NAFLD group were significantly higher [(5.39 ± 0.85),(5.12 ± 0.77) mmol/L vs.(4.11 ± 0.64) mmol/L,(2.77 ± 1.11),(2.32 + 1.04) mmol/L vs.(1.21 ± 0.52) mmol/L,(2.98 ±0.93),(2.76 +0.78) mmol/L vs.(2.15 ±0.57) mtmol/L,(48.4 ± 18.9),(43.3 ± 16.5) U/L vs.(21.4 ± 13.6) U/L,(46.2 ± 16.7),(42.1 ± 17.5) U/L vs.(20.5 ± 12.6) U/L,(1.95 ±0.93),(1.26±0.51) mmvs.(0.71 ±0.22) mm](P＜ 0.05),while the level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was significantly lower [(1.01 ± 0.35),(1.13 + 0.22) mmol/L vs.(1.31 ± 0.26) mmol/L] (P ＜ 0.05).The level of above mentioned index,there were no significant difference between NAFLD with T2DM group and NAFLD group (P ＞ 0.05).The level of fasting blood glucose (FBG),2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2 h PBG),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c),fasting insulin (FINS),2-hour postprandial insulin (2 h PINS) and insulin resistance index of HOMA (HOMA-IR) in NAFLD with T2DM group were significantly higher than those in NAFLD group and control group [(8.15 ± 1.48) mmol/L vs.(5.10 ± 1.32),(5.62 ± 0.88) mmol/L,(13.67 ± 1.59) mmol/L vs.(7.31 ± 1.25),(8.64± 1.35) mmol/L,(7.03 ±0.84)％ vs.(5.16 ±0.72)％,(5.53 ±0.61)％,(13.32 ±4.55) mU/L vs.(6.06 ±3.11),(9.13 ±4.37) mU/L,(106.37 ±21.45) mU/L vs.(33.21 ± 18.87),(46.34 ± 16.39) mU/L,3.88 + 2.14 vs.1.13 ± 0.36,2.23 ± 1.15] (P ＜ 0.05).Carotid IMT,the incidence of carotid plaque and Crouse scores of plaque in NAFLD with T2DM group were significandy higher than those in NAFLD group [(1.95 ±0.93) mm vs.(1.26 ±0.51) mm,64.7％(33/51) vs.30.2％(13/43),(3.11 ±0.57) nn vs.(1.35 ± 0.49) mm] (P ＜ 0.05).The regression analysis showed that family history of T2DM,FBG,2 h PBG,FINS,2 h PINS were independently associated with T2DM.Conclusions Family history of T2DM,FBG,2 h PBG,FINS,2 h PINS are the main risk factors for the onset of T2DM in NAFLD.The risk of carotid atherosclerosis is increased in patients of NAFLD with T2DM.

The usage of “Taiji sense”(a kind of image) is required during Taijiquan (TJQ) exercise, but some practitioners virtually ignore it all the time while exercising. The significance for the usage of “Taiji sense” is still completely unknown. This study assessed the psycho-physiological effects of “Taiji sense” during 24-style TJQ exercise (24TJQ). 25 middle-elderly 24TJQ-experienced subjects were divided into Taiji-sensed group (TS), non-Taiji-sensed group (NTS) and ergometry exercise group (EE) by balancing their age and TJQ experience time. The division of TS and NTS was determined by a self-reported investigation, based on whether the practitioner usually use or do not use the image of “Taiji sense” while exercising TJQ. Electroencephalography and profile of mood states were examined and compared. After exercise, TS showed greater increase of α activity (P<0.05) and greater decrease of β activity (P<0.05) than EE, respectively. α hemispherical asymmetry score indicated by Fp1-Fp2 showed significant decrease change (P<0.05) in TS after exercise (Post2), and tended to be lower (P=0.056) than that of NTS. Even though all conditions significantly decreased Tension-Anxiety (T-A) scores (P<0.05, for all), only TS significantly increased Vigor (V) score (P<0.05). The change of α activity inversely correlated to the change of T-A score (r=−0.78, P<0.0001) in all conditions. Conclusively, the usage of “Taiji sense” might help to produce stronger psycho-physiological responses during 24TJQ practice, and give rise to effective relaxation after exercise, as classics pointed out.

BACKGROUND:Deep vein thrombosis is a common postoperative complication after spinal surgery in clinical department of neurosurgery anddepartment of orthopedics. Deep vein thrombosis is mostly related to vein intima injury, stasis and activation of blood coagulation factor. Early effective prediction can effectively avoid the adverse effects on the prognosis of patients with deep vein thrombosis. D-dimer used in the prediction of deep venous thrombosis has high sensitivity and specificity, andcan be used as a sensitive predictor for deep vein thrombosis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the relationship between plasma D-dimer mass concentration and deep vein thrombosis after spinal surgery. METHODS:A total of 83 patients treated with spinal surgery colected fromDepartment of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from April 2014 to August 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into two groups according to postoperative plasma D-dimer mass concentration:D-dimer positive group (n=48) and D-dimer negative group (n=35). We monitored D-dimer mass concentration in both groups preoperatively and postoperatively 1, 3, 5, 9 and 14 days, and analyzed the relationship between D-dimer mass concentration and deep vein thrombosis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) No significant difference in D-dimer mass concentration was determined between the two groups (P> 0.05). D-dimer mass concentration was significantly higher in the D-dimer positive group than in the D-dimer negative group 1, 3, 5, 9, and 14 days postoperatively (P<0.05). (2) After operation, plasma D-dimer of 28 cases was positive, with persistent increasing. Double lower limb deep vein color Doppler ultrasound demonstrated that seven patients experienced deep vein thrombosis and four patients suffered from pulmonary embolism in D-dimer positive group. There was no deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in the D-dimer negative group. (3) These results indicate that positive D-dimer concentration of patientsafter spinal surgery suggests the possibility of deep vein thrombosis. If the concentration of D-dimer is persistently high, we should highly alert to the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis.

Objective To analyze causes for postoperative coxa vara and anti-rotation nail cutting-out after treatment of brittle femoral intertrochanteric fractures with proximal femoral nails ( PFN ).Methods An retrospective study was done on 227 patients with intertrochanteric fracture treated with PFN from June 2006 to February 2009. The causes for postoperative coxa vara and anti-rotation nail cutting-out were analyzed. Harris score was used to evaluate the functional recovery of the hip joint. Results Of all, 221 patients were followed up for 12-48 months (mean 23 months) and six patients were died from serious internal disease within one year. According to Harris evaluation system, the results were excellent and good in 183 patients, fair in 30 and poor in 14. Postoperative coxa vara and anti-rotation nail cuttingout occurred in 16 patients, eight of whom received reoperation to remove internal fixation and skeletal traction at abducent position and the other eight received prosthetic replacement. Conclusions Treatment of proximal femoral fracture with PFN requires a high precision of reduction and operation. Many factors including lateral cortical bone conditions of tuberosity, postoperative patient's cognitive condition,use of improved Jensen-Evans classification and Singh's classification may affect operation outcome.

Objective: To explore the impact of ticagrelor on myocardial microcirculation in patients of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 80 NSTEMI patients treated in our hospital from 2015-03 to 2015-12 were enrolled. All patients received coronary angiography (CAG) and PCI, they were randomly divided into 2 groups: ticagrelor (TA) group and clopidogrel (CA) group, n=40 in each group. The baseline condition, PCI related parameters, plasma levels of SOD, MDA at pre- and 24h, 72h post-PCI were compared, the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) within 30 days after PCI was also compared between 2 groups. Results: The baseline condition, proportion of infarction-related vessels, average length and diameter of implanted stents were similar between 2 groups, all P>0.05. Compared with CA group, TA group had the less post-operative CTFC in LAD and RCA, P<0.05; while CTFC in LCX was similar between 2 groups, P>0.05. The ratios of acute pre-operative, post-operative TIMI grade 3 and slow flow incidence were similar between 2 groups, P>0.05. The peak values of CK-MB and cTnI in TA group were lower than CA group, P<0.05. Compared with baseline condition, MDA levels at 24h and 72h post-operation were increased in both groups, all P<0.001; compared with CA group, TA group had the lower MDA level at 24h post-operation, P=0.023, MAD was further reduced at 72h post-operation in TA group, P=0.043. Compared with baseline condition, SOD levels at 24h and 72h post-operation were decreased in both groups, all P<0.001; compared with CA group, TA group had the higher SOD level at 24h post-operation, P=0.013, SOD was elevated at 72h post-operation in both groups, the elevation was more obvious in TA group, P=0.049. The incidence of MACE was similar between 2 groups within 30 days of PCI,. Conclusion: Ticagrelor could improve myocardial microcirculation in NSTEMI patients after PCI; it was safe and without obvious adverse effects.

Objective To compare the changes of some blood indices after treatment of intertro-chanteric fractures with conventional and minimally invasive dynamic hip scres (DHS) internal fixation so as to understand the influence of minimally invasive technique on physiology of the organism. Meth-ods The elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures in our department from July 2004 to May 2006 were divided randomly into two groups, ie, conventional DHS internal fixation group(Conventional group, 52 patients)and the minimally invasive DHS internal fixation group(Minimal invasion group, 54 patients). A comparison was done on data including white blood cells (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), e-rythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). C reactive protein (CRP) and creatine kinase (CK) as well as re-cessive blood loss. Results The indices including transfusion, blood loss, recessive blood loss, ESR and CK in minimal invasion group showed less changes compared with conventional group. With statistical difference. But WBC and CRP showed no statisfical difference between both groups. Conclusion Minimally invasive DHS internal fvtation carl reduce operative trauma during treatment of intertrochanterie fractures in the elderly.

Objective: To explore the relationship between coronary tortuosity and coronary microvascular disease (CMVD). Methods: Patients with typical angina symptoms and without serious coronary artery stenosis by coronary angiography were enrolled from June 2014 to December 2016, and CMVD was diagnosed by single photon emission tomography (SPECT). According to the SPECT results, patients were divided to the CMVD group and non-CMVD group. The baseline clinical characteristics, results of coronary angiography were compared between the two groups. The logistic analysis was used to analyze the relationship between coronary tortuosity and CMVD. Result: A total of 117 cases were enrolled, with 69 cases in the CMVD group and 48 cases in the non-CMVD group. No differences were found in gender distribution, age, hypertension, lipid abnormality, hyperuricemia and uses of statins between the two groups (all P>0.05). Incidence of diabetes (78.26%(54/69) vs. 35.42% (17/48) , P<0.05), hs-CRP ((4.29±2.15)mmol/L vs. (2.63±1.20)mmol/L, P<0.001), LDL-C ((2.98±0.96)mmol/L vs. (2.52±0.83)mmol/L, P=0.008) and homocysteine ((13.7±5.61)mmol/L vs. (11.5±4.38)mmol/L, P=0.025) levels were higher in the CMVD group than in the non-CMVD group. The data derived from echocardiographic examination were similar between the two groups. The Corrected TIMI frame counts were higher in the CMVD group than in non-CMVD group (LAD: 31.56±4.92 vs. 27.31±3.75, LCX: 29.47±4.18 vs. 26.62±3.19, RCA: 29.09±5.05 vs. 26.24±3.28, all P<0.001). The incidences of coronary atherosclerosis (76.81% (53/69) vs. 27.08% (13/48) , P<0.001) and coronary tortuosity ( (60.87% (42/69) vs. 33.33% (16/48) , P=0.035) were also higher in the CMVD group than in non-CMVD group. Logistic analysis found that coronary tortuosity (OR=6.111, 95%CI 2.707-13.794, P<0.001), diabetes (OR=6.565, 95%CI 2.883-14.948, P<0.001) and coronary atherosclerosis (OR=8.918, 95%CI 3.822-20.808, P<0.001) were independent risk factors of CMVD. Conclusion Coronary tortuosity, diabetes and coronary atherosclerosis are related to CMVD in this patient cohort.
