Objective To investigate the differences of four equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and their impacts on chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence in communitydwelling elderly people in Beijing.Methods A total of 489 participants aged above 70 years were enrolled.The GFR was estimated using the Cockcroft Gault (CG) equation,Chronic Kidney DiseaseEpidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation,Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation and Berlin Initiative Study (BIS) equation respectively.The internal-consistency check was made on the four equations for the GFR (ml min 1 1.73m 2) estimates.Results The mean age of participants was (81.8±7.6) years.The mean GFR estimated using the CG,CKD-EPI,MDRD and BIS equation was 58.4± 17.2,71.9± 15.3,76.7± 19.1 and 62.7± 12.7,respectively.And the prevalence of CKD was 56.2％,22.7％,17.8％ and 41.7％,respectively.The greatest differences of equations to estimate GFR were seen in elderly people aged 90 and above,and those with body mass index＜ 20.0 kg/m2 or serum creatinine concentration＜ 88.4 μmol/L.Conclusions The GFR estimated using different equations has a large difference which has a significant effect on CKD classification in elderly people.The equation to estimate GFR for the elderly is urgently needed.Until then,the eGFR and CKD classification estimated using different equations should be regarded with caution.

Objective To explore the image quality of coronary artery imaging with dual source computed tomography (DSCT) and analyze the coronary artery lesions. Methods Two hundred cases with clinically suspected coronary heart disease, who underwent plain and enhanced DSCT coronary artery imaging without oral Betaloc preparation were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups: the senile group of 126 cases with the average age of (71.3±7.7) years old and the control group of 74 cases with the average age of (50.4±6.2) years old. The clinical characteristics, the average heart rate and breath-holding time for plain and enhanced scan, the average calcium score, the image quality evaluation and the coronary stenosis were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the incidences of chest pain or discomfort, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia and old myocardial infarction were significantly higher in the senile group. The average calcium score and the numbers of <50% and ≥50% stenosis were also significantly higher in the senile group than those in the control group (364.9±442.6)points vs. (44.8±106.9)points, 159 vs. 45 branches, 212 vs. 32 branches, respectively, all P<0.01). The average heart rate and breath-holding time of plain and enhanced scan had no significant differences compared with the control group. The proportion of the coronary segments with grade 1 ,grade 2 and grade 3 image quality also had no significant difference compared with the control group (96.5%,2.3% and 1.2% vs. 97.1%, 2.0% and 0.9%, P>0.05). Conclusions DSCT coronary artery imaging in senile patients is noninvasive, safe and simple, and excellent coronary artery image can be obtained without oral Betaloc preparation. It can be used as a routine examination in the clinical diagnosis of coronary heart disease.

Objective To investigate the clinical effecl of trabeculectomy with scleral tunnel in the treatment of refractory glaucoma. Design Prospective, randomized and comparative clinical study. Participants 87 patients (98 eyes) with refractory glaucoma. Methods The patients were randomly assigned to receiving trabeculectomy with or without scleral tunnel. The tunnel group (50 eyes) underwent trabeculectomy with an additional deep scleral tunnel of 5.0mm?1.5mm beneath the superficial scleral flap. The control group (48 eyes) underwent conventional trabeculectomy. The average follow-up period was 6 to 12 months posloperatively. Main Outcome Measures Visual acuity, intraocular pressures (IOP), filtering blebs, operative and postoperative complications. Results (1) No significant differences in visual acuity were found between two groups. (2) The postoperative IOPs were significantly lower than the preoperative IOPs in both groups, while the IOPs on the 7th day after the surgery between the two groups were not different significantly. The average postoperative IOP at the 6th month in the tunnel group was 14.34?3.95 mmHg and 19.57?7.76 mmHg in the control group, which were different significantly (P
