Objective To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs13333226 in uromodulin (UMOD) gene with diabetic kidney diseases (DKD) in Han population in Tianjin,China.Methods A total of 210 type 2 diabetes (T2DM),90 normal controls (NC) and 280 DKD patients were recruited.According to the level of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),the DKD subjects were further subdivided into three groups:GFR≥90 ml/min group (n=105),60 ml/mim≤GFR ＜ 90 ml/min group (n=84) and GFR ＜ 60 ml/min group (n=91).Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used for UMOD rs13333226C genotyping.Results The frequencies of AA,GA,GG genotype were 27.8％,58.9％,13.3％ in NC group and 41.0％,48.6％,10.5％ in T2DM group and 54.3％,36.1％,9.6％ in DKD group.The frequency of G allele was 42.8％ in NC group,34.8％ in T2DM group and 27.7％ in DKD group.The genotype distribution of UMOD was statistically significant between NC group and DKD group,and between T2DM group and DKD group (P ＜ 0.05).G allele of UMOD was an independent protective gene polymorphism of DKD in Logistic regression (B=-0.248,Wald=8.012,P=0.021,OR=0.780,95％ CI 0.612-0.968).Conclusion The G allele of UMOD gene may be an independent protective factor of DKD in Han population in Tianjin,China.

Objective To discuss the specific role of association rules in the compatibility of herbs and the relationship between herbs and symptoms by analyzing ancient analogous prescriptions Zhizichi Decoction with SQL Server software.Methods The prescriptions which contain Gardenia and Semen Sojae Preparatum were searched in the database of “Ancient Prescriptions for Epidemic Disease”, and they were imported to software with the standardized data of their symptoms and ingredients, then the proper association rules were found. The laws between parameter setting and rule generation were searched through parameter adjustment.Results Many laws of the drug compatibility and relationship between herbs and symptoms were obtained effectively in data mining by adjusting the parameters:The support setting was good for finding common used drug compatibility, and the confidence was good for finding specific drug compatibility and relationship between herbs and symptoms;the item set which had high frequency, sometimes made the rule’s importance low.Conclusion The laws of compatibility of herbs and the relationship between herbs and symptoms for data mining of analogous prescriptions are discovered by analyzing the support, confidence and importance of the association-rules and the clinical magnificence between symptoms and herbs.

Objective To evaluate the preliminary clinical outcome of the screw fixation of minimally displaced scaphoid fracture assisted by computerized imaging reconstruction and preoperative planning system.Methods From March 2013 to Feburary 2014,Five screws on five patients were treated.We calculated and designed the position of scaphoid screw guide wire and ensured the guide wire centrally placed in the scaphoid by using the computerized imaging reconstruction and preoperative planning system software.The appropriate length of the screw was measured too in the software.We also identified the entry and exit points of the guide wire on the custom orthoses splinting the wrist joint.Five patients with scaphoid fractures were treated with percutaneous screw fixation under the guidance of a C-arm fluoroscopy and a guide wire were inserted based on the entry and exit points calculated preoperatively.All of the scaphoid fracture was nondisplaced or less than 1 mm.The modified MAYO wrist scoring system was used to evaluate the pain,function and range of motion for the wrist joint during follow up.Results Total surgical time was 28.8 min (25-39 min)and Fluoroscopy time was 18.4 s (11-23 s).The fracture healing was observed at routine 8 weeks follow up.No complication such as infection or fixation failure was reported.Modified MAYO wrist score was 83.8 (81-88)at average followup at 15 months (6-12 months).Conclusion Computer assisted percutaneous screw fixation is an effective method for the treatment of nondisplaced scaphoid fractures.It leads to significantly reduced guidewire placement time and radiological exposure time while provides accurate placement of the screw.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of entecavir combined with Vitamin E in treating patients with Chronic hepatitis B complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver.Methods Retrospective analysis was done by reviewing the clinical data of 103 patients, who suffered with chronic hepatitis B complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver and treated in our hospital from 2015 to 2016.The patients were divided into the control group with 61 cases and the observation group with 42 cases based on different therapies.The control group was treated with only entecavir while the observation group was treated with entecavir and Vitamin E, and both the courses of treatment lasted for 6 months.The negative conversion ratio of HBV-DNA, levels of ALT, TBIL, ALP, the disease state and the adverse reactions of the two groups were compared before and after treatment.Results The negative conversion ratio of HBV-DNA of the observation group was obviously higher than that of the control group, and the patients of the observation group showed significant improvement.Meanwhile, the levels of ALT, TBIL and ALP in the two groups were both lower than before treatment.Compared with the control group, those indexes in the observation group were significantly lower (P<0.05).Conclusion Entecavir combined with Vitamin E for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver could significantly decrease the viral infections so that the state of patients can be improved.
