Objective To study the correlation between pain, lower limb strength and physical function in patients with primary osteoporosis. Methods Fifty-seven female patients diagnosed with menopause-related low bone mass or primary osteoporosis using a GE calcaneus bone density detector were involved in this study. The muscle strength of their lower limbs was tested with a Biodex system 4 machine. Pain was assessed with a visual analogue scale, and physical function (PF) with the SF-36 instrument. Results Low back pain was significantly correlated with PF, and so was leg pain. Leg pain was also significantly correlated with the strength of the extensors of the dominant leg during low velocity and medium velocity movement. Leg pain was not, however, significantly correlated with the strength of the flexors of the dominant leg during low and medium velocity movement. Conclusions Pain predicts poor physical function in patients with primary osteoporosis or low bone density. During low and medium velocity movement, leg pain significantly predicts poor muscle strength in the extensors of the dominant lower leg, but it has no correlation with the muscle strength of the flexors.

OBJECTIVETo study the distributional feature and clinical characteristics of infectious diarrhea caused by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7, and to understand its pollution to the environment and the carrier status among livestock and poultry.
METHODSTo describing the incidence of diarrhea, to isolate and culture the pathogenic bacteria from samples of the patients with diarrhea and livestock or poultry with methods of microbiology, molecular biology and cytology, and then to determine the toxic factors.
RESULTSIn the first epidemic area in Suixian county, Henan province, 35 cases had been found during 17 March and 6 July with 91% of them above age of 60. Of them, 32 were complicated with acute renal failure, including 28 death (death rate: 87.50%). One hundred and seven strains of O157:H7 were isolated from the samples of livestock or poultry and 48 strains were isolated from patients. It was found that 67 strains having toxic gene through microbiological, molecular biological and cytological technologies. Five types of toxic factors were found.
CONCLUSIONThe main factor causing death was the complicated acute renal failure from diarrhea infected by E. coli O157:H7. The pathogen from livestock or poultry with high carrying rate might infect people through polluted water, food flies and close contacts. The outbreak of acute hemolytic uremic syndrome in Suixian county was caused by Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of borderline subclinical hypothyroidism during first trimester of pregnancy in euthyroid patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion history.Methods:Among the 3 794 outpatients in the Sixth Obstetric Clinic of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from July 2017 to July 2019, 302 patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion and euthyroid function before pregnancy were selected after excluding those with abnormality in anatomy, coagulation, genetics, endocrine, infection, and immunology aspects through a systematic etiological screen. Exclusion of 62 patients with pre-pregnancy thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) above 2.5 mIU/L, 240 recurrent spontaneous abortion patients were finally included. Borderline subclinical hypothyroidism is defined as the level of TSH higher than 2.5 mIU/L but less than the upper limit of pregnancy specific reference range during the first trimester. Among these 240 recurrent spontaneous abortion patients, 84 had borderline subclinical hypothyroidism and 156 were not. After analyzing the history, clinical and laboratory examination results of the two groups of patients, univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were applied, to analyze and screen the high-risk factors of borderline subclinical hypothyroidism. Collinear diagnosis of regression analysis and correlation analysis were used to find out the if further relationships among the high-risk factors existed.Results:Univariate analysis suggested that conception method, pre-pregnancy TSH level, anti-nuclear antibody (ANA), lupus anticoagulant (LAC), and anti-β2 glycoprotein 1 (β2GP1) antibody were the potential high-risk factors ( P<0.1). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pre-pregnancy TSH level>1.5 mIU/L ( OR=5.241, 95% CI 2.659-10.330), ANA positive ( OR=3.614, 95% CI 1.866-7.000), anti-β2GP1 antibody positive ( OR=3.415, 95% CI 1.176-9.917), and LAC positive ( OR=2.785, 95% CI 1.024-7.573) were independent risk factors of borderline subclinical hypothyroidism ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). No significant collinearity was found among the factors in the collinearity diagnosis. Except for the thyroid peroxidase antibody and thyroglobulin antibody ( P<0.01), no significant correlation was found among the non-organ-specific antibodies (NOSAs) and antithyroid antibodies. Conclusion:The level of pre-pregnancy TSH and NOSAs before pregnancy are the most important risk factors of borderline subclinical hypothyroidism during first trimester of pregnancy of euthyroid patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion history.
