Delirium is a common complication after elderly hip fracture, and is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity. There is no enough attention for delirium compared to deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, heart failure, etc. This paper reviews the definition, diagnosis, incidence, prognosis, treatment and other aspects of delirium in order to better under?stand delirium clinically. Delirium is an acute mental disorder of consciousness, attention, perception, thinking ability, memory, mental activity, and emotion. It is characterized by the disorder of sleep or wakefulness, and these changes are difficult to explain by dementia. The confusion assessment method (confusion assessment method, CAM) is generally accepted as the current diagnos?tic tools for delirium, and mainly depends on the patient's consciousness and cognitive function. The mechanisms of delirium are unclear, and it is influenced by many factors, such as agedness, cognitive impairment, pain, sleep rhythm disorders, and theories mainly include neurotransmitter theory, the central inflammatory response theory, the theory of stress response, sleep wake cycle, et al. The delirium is difficult to explain by using single, liner factor, but is elaborated by many various factors. However, the influ?ences of delirium on outcome for hip fracture are unclear, and it is definite that these patients have poor functional recovery, poor independent living ability, longer time in bed, demand for more care. The prevention should be implemented as mainly measures for delirium. Elimination of risk factors, including correct hypoxia, reduce pain, avoid water electrolyte disorders, improve sleep rhythm, and avoid using of opioids should be tried. In addition, adequate analgesia and appropriate anesthesia should used, and some inappropriate drugs should be avoided. Multidisciplinary cooperation mode, including doctors from orthopedics, anesthesiolo?gy, and geriatric department should be conducted to reduce the incidence of delirium as far as possible. Once diagnosed, some measures should be applied, such as maintaining of airway patency, adequate nutritional support, correction of water and electro?lyte disorders, anemia and low serum albumin, to ensure adequate physical and mental support, and to create a good environment for the ward, as well as to remove the possible etiological factors, such as anemia, low protein acidosis and electrolyte disturbance.

Objective:To investigate the influence of preoperative thyroid dysfunction on the 30-day postoperative mortality and complications in elderly patients with hip fracture.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 349 elderly patients with hip fracture who had been admitted to Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Beijing Luhe Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2018 to December 2019. They were 108 males and 241 females, with an average age of 76.3 years (from 60 to 104 years). There were 190 femoral intertrochanteric fractures and 159 femoral neck fractures. By the preoperative level of thyroid function, the patients were divided into a normal function group of 290 cases and a dysfunction group of 59 cases. The 2 groups were compared in terms of hospital stay, mortality and incidence of complications within 30 days postoperation.Results:In this cohort, the rate of 30-day postoperative mortality was 3.4%(12/349) and the incidence of 30-day postoperative complications 14.6%(51/349). The 2 groups were comparable because there was no significant difference between them in the preoperative general data except for the preoperative comorbidity of coronary heart disease ( P>0.05). In the dysfunction group, the hospital stay averaged (10.2±6.9) d, the rate of 30-d postoperative mortality 1.7%(1/59) and the incidence of 30-day postoperative complications 16.9%(10/59), which were insignificantly different from those in the normal function group [(10.7±7.5) d, 3.8%(11/290) and 14.1%(41/290), respectively] ( P> 0.05). Conclusion:Since preoperative thyroid dysfunction does not affect the 30-day postoperative mortality and postoperative complications in the elderly patients with hip fracture but no definite thyroid disease, routine thyroid function screening is not recommended for them.

Objective To evaluate the feature of level Ⅱaxillary lymph nodes from breast cancer detected by ultrasound. Methods Eighty-nine cases of breast cancers with level Ⅱaxillary lymph nodes diagnosed in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from January 2008 to October 2013 were retrospectively studied, including 66 cases of breast cancer patients pre-operatively, 23 cases of breast cancer post-operatively, all cases were female. The number, size, long/short ratio, presence of a hilum, and Doppler features of the lymph nodes were observed. The accuracy sensitivity, speciifcity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of each signiifcant parameter were analyzed. Results Ultrasound examination revealed more than axillary lymph nodes, the accuracy sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of diagnosing lymph nodes were 71.9%, 56.8%, 89.7%, 87.9%and 61.4%respectively. The maximum diameter of levelⅡaxillary lymph node was more than or equal to 10 mm, the accuracy sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of diagnosing lymph nodes were 67.4%, 58.0%, 79.5%, 78.4%and 59.6%respectively. If there were two ultrasonographic characteristics simultaneously, the diagnostic sensitivity (87.8%) and accuracy (78.6%) could be significantly improved, the specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of diagnosing lymph nodes were 60.0%, 72.3%and 80.0%. Conclusion The number and size of lymph nodes in level Ⅱaxillary area are valuable sonographic characteristics for the diagnosis of benign and malignant lymph nodes.

Objective To explore the feasibility of contrast-enhanced ultrasonograhy (CEUS) in preoperative classification of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) microvascular morphology.Methods Totally 94 HCC patients who underwent CEUS were analyzed retrospectively. And the offline Time-intensity curve (TIC) were drawn using SonoTumor. The tumor size, alpha fetoprotein (AFP), cirrhosis, Child-Pugh classifi cation, tumor differentiation and TNM stage were statistically analyzed. The intratumoralmicrovessels of HCC in 94 cases were evaluated by CD34 immunohistochemical staining. The relationship between intratumoral microvessel morphology and CEUS parameters were analyzed.Results CD34 immunohistochemical staining showed three distinct microvessel types in 94 cases of HCC: 28 cases of capillary-like type, 14 cases of sinusoid-like type and 52 cases of mixed type. There were no significant differences of clinical data among three microvascular morphology types. The parameters of peak strength (PE), rise time (RT), wash-in rate (WiR), wash-in perfusion index (WiPI), wash-in area under the curve (WiAUC) and mean transit time (MTT) in 28 cases of capillary-like type were (4350.7±2566.0) a.u, (10.7±3.2) s, (717.0±489.9) a.u, (12820.3±8331.6 )a.u, (128 240.8±74 487.1) a.u, (71.9±33.1)s. Those parameters in 14 cases of sinusoid-like type were (2471.6±1107.1) a.u, (16.2±4.2)s, (321.9±171) a.u, (5 561.4±2 938.0) a.u, (86 780.1±47 563.7) a.u, (117.8±69.6)s. And in 52 cases of mixed type they were (3563.2±2343.1) a.u, (14.1±4.8)s, (519.4±403.2) a.u, (9 015.3±6 884.7)a.u, (128 240.8±74 487.1) a.u, (71.9±33.1) s respectively. The CEUS parameters of WiR, WiPI in capillary-like type HCC patients were higher than sinusoid-like type and mixed type HCC patients, while RT was lower than sinusoid-like type and mixed type HCC patients, and the differences were signifi cant (WiR: t=3.87, 3.3, bothP=0.05; WiPI: t=2.96, 2.06, bothP=0.05; RT: t=3.19, 2.34, bothP=0.05). The parameter of PE in capillary-like type HCC patients were signifi cantly higher than that in sinusoid-like type HCC patients (t=2.51,P=0.05). And the parameter of PE in capillary-like type HCC patients was higher than mixed HCC patients, but there was no signifi cant difference. The parameters of PE, WiR and WiPI in mixed type HCC patients were higher than that in sinusoid-like type HCC patients, while RT in mixed type HCC patients were lower than that in sinusoid-like type HCC patients, but there were no signifi cant differences. No signifi cant differences of WiAUC and MTT were observed in HCC patients with different microvascular morphology.Conclusions There were signifi cant differences of CEUS parameters in different microvascular morphology types. And CEUS, as a non-invasive method, can be used for preliminary preoperative prediction of microvascular morphology in HCC patients.

Objective To compare the contrast enhancement effects of SonoVue and Sonazoid in rabbit liver at ultrasonic frequency of 7 MHz using various mechanical index(MI) and dosage. Methods Eight rabbits were bolus injected with different contrast agents:for SonoVue(0. 06 ml/kg,0. 12 ml/kg) ,MI ranging 0. 10 - 0. 55; while Sonazoid (0. 045 ml/kg, 0. 09 ml/kg) , MI ranging 0. 19 - 0. 98. Quantitative analysis of ultrasonography was done using video-intensity analysis system, and peak intensity (PI) was compared. Results With the same frequency, in SonoVue group, for both dosage groups, PI reached maximum at MI = 0. 15 ( P <0. 05) ; with the same MI, PI of the high dosage group was higher ( P < 0. 05). In Sonazoid group,for both dosage groups,PI reached maximum at MI = 0. 40( P <0. 05) ; with the same MI,PI of the high dose group was higher ( P <0. 05). Conclusions The optimistic ultrasonographic conditions provided to SonoVue and Sonazoid are different. Dosage of contrast agents, MI and frequency need to be concerned.

Objective To observe the effects of stromal cell-derived-factor-1(SDF-1) on the function of endotheli?al progenitor cells(EPCs)of peripheral blood in patients with diabetes, and to discuss the effects of PI3K/AKT signaling path?way on the role of SDF-1 in EPCs. Methods The peripheral blood samples (30 mL) were collected in 10 diabetes patients (DM group) and 10 healthy controls (HC group). (1) The 100μg/L SDF-1 was added in intervention group. EGM-2MV was added in non-intervention group. The Boyden chamber and in vitro angiogenesis kit were used to analyze the migration and in vitro angiogenesis of EPCs. (2) Cultured EPCs were divided into blank control group, 1μg/L SDF-1 group, 10μg/L SDF-1 group, 100μg/L SDF-1 group, pure AMD3100 group and 100μg/L SDF-1+AMD3100 group. AKT protein expression lev?els of endothelial progenitor cells were detected by Western blot assay in each group. Results (1) Without intervention with SDF-1, EPCs’migration and angiogenesis ability were lower in DM group than those in HC group. After intervention with SDF-1, the migration and angiogenesis ability were enhanced in two groups, but the increased level was higher in DM group than that of HC group. (2) Under the same concentration, AKT protein expression level was significantly lower in DM group than that in HC group (P<0.01). AKT protein expression levels were increased with the increased levels of SDF-1 in DM group and HC group (P<0.05). AKT protein expression was significantly lower in 100μg/L SDF-1+AMD3100 group than that of 100μg/L SDF-1 group (P<0.05). Conclusion SDF-1 can increase the chemotactic migration and angiogenesis ability of EPCs in peripheral blood, especially for patients with diabetes. The effects of SDF-1 on EPCs were related to the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective To evaluate the effect of hepatic vein occlusion and stent replacement in treatment for Budd-Chiari syndrome(BCS).Methods Forty three patients with BCS were underwent percutanous puncture,radiography,transjugular angioplasty,balloon dilation and stent placement for hepatic vein under Doppller ultrasounographic guidance from July 2001 to September 2006. Results Technical success was 100%with no complications.The medium vein pressure was reduced from 32.5 tO 20 cm H2O(1 cm H2O-0.098 kPa)after stents replacement(P＜0.01).The hepatic vein angioplasty revealed that all stents were patent and branches were disappeared.The symptoms in 38 patients were disappeared immediately,and improved in 5 patients.All patients were followed up of 32 months(ranged 1-62).Except one patient died of severe gastric bleeding,the 42 patients were survived with symptoms free.Conclusion Hepatic vein occlusion and stent replacement are safe and effective in treatment of BCS.
