Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of osteoporosis (OP) and its influencing factors among people aged 60 years and above, so as to provide insights into OP prevention and treatment among the elderly.
Methods:
People aged 60 years and above who underwent physical examinations were selected from Hangzhou First People's Hospital from January to October 2023. Demographic information, lifestyle and physical examination data were collected through field surveys and hospital information systems. Bone density was measured by dual-energy X-ray densitometer, and OP was diagnosed with reference to the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Osteoporosis (2022). Factors affecting the OP were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 482 participants were included and had a mean age of (69.10±6.52) years. There were 217 men (45.02%) and 265 women (54.98%). The prevalence of OP was 43.36%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified gender (women, OR=3.791, 95%CI: 1.726-8.314), age (70 to 79 years, OR=1.260, 95%CI: 1.018-1.559; 80 years and above, OR=3.083, 95%CI: 1.546-6.147), body mass index (≥24 kg/m2, OR=0.358, 95%CI: 0.205-0.626), family history of fracture (OR=1.475, 95%CI: 1.073-2.030), diabetes (OR=1.626, 95%CI: 1.109-2.382), regular exercise (OR=0.457, 95%CI: 0.287-0.726), intake of milk products (OR=0.511, 95%CI: 0.335-0.780), intake of calcium supplements (OR=0.473, 95%CI: 0.287-0.778) and vitamin D deficiency (OR=2.132, 95%CI: 1.309-3.473) as factors affecting OP.
Conclusion
The prevalence of OP is associated with gender, age, body mass index, family history of fracture, diabetes, diet and vitamin D deficiency.

Objective:To explore the application of real-time transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) during seminal vesiculoscopy in infertile men with azoospermia or oligoasthenospermia.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 25 cases of azoospermia or oligoasthenospermia due to ejaculate ducts obstruction who were treated with real-time transrectal ultrasound-guided seminal vesiculoscopy between September 2011 and December 2015. Patients’ age was(29.4±4.5) years. All patients accepted semen analysis, serum sex hormone, MRI, TRUS and then diagnosed as obstructive azoospermia, and 13 cases had intractable obstructive azoospermia or oligoasthenospermia after the failure of simple seminal vesiculoscopy(the path to the ejaculatory duct and seminal vesicle couldn’t be found). All patients were treated with seminal vesiculoscopy under real-time guidance with TRUS. We assessed the success rate of surgery, surgical time and complications.Results:The scope was successfully inserted into the seminal vesicle in 21 of the 25 cases (success rate, 84%). The median operative time was 75(31, 148) min. None of the patients developed severe complications. Among 4 failure cases (4/25, 16%), 1 was due to abnormal congenital development. In 2 cases, a clear outlet of the dual ejaculatory duct could not be found after it was inserted into the prostatic utricle. One case was considered as a Müllerian tubular cyst, and the seminal vesicle scope was used to assess the cystic side wall. The 21 patients were followed up for 3 to 6 months, semen volume 2.0(0-5.2)ml, total sperm 28(0-832) ×10 6/ejaculate, sperm density 5.6(0-110.3)×10 6/ml, mobility rate of sperm 5.4%(0-63.6%), and the differences were significant as compared to that before the surgery [semen volume 0.4(0-2.8)ml, total sperm 0(0-342)×10 6/ejaculate, sperm density 0(0-90.7)×10 6/ml, mobility rate of sperm 0(0-24.1%), all P<0.05]. Among the 17 patients who underwent follow-up of 5 to 9 years, 3 patients was conceived naturally and 9 patients’ postoperative sperm quality has improved and pregnancy in vitro fertilization by extracting sperm from semen. Conclusions:Intraoperative real-time transrectal ultrasound guidance can improved the success rate of seminal vesiculoscopy and promoted operative safety.

Objective To compare the myocardial protective effects of isoflurane versus sevoflurane in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). Methods Forty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients (NYHA Ⅱ or Ⅲ ) of both sexes, aged 40-55 yr, weighing 55-94 kg, scheduled for elective OPCABG, were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 20 each): isoflurane group ( group Ⅰ) and sevoflurane group ( group S). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, sufentanil and vecuronium. Patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated. Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of isoflurane or sevoflurane and infusion of sufentanil and vecuronium. In group Ⅰ, the initial end-tidal concentration of isoflurane was 1.2%. In group S, the initial end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane was 1.7 %. BIS value was maintained at 40-50 by adjusting the end-tidal concentration of isoflurane or sevoflurane. The central venous blood samples were collected immediately before skin incision, at the end of surgery, 2 and 24 h after surgery for determination of plasma creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) activity and cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) concentration. The adverse cardiovascular events were recorded. Results The incidences of ventricular premature beat, tachycardia, bradycardia, ventricular fibrillation and S-T segment elevation ( >0.1 mV) during surgery and the plasma CK-MB activity and cTnI concentration after surgery were significantly higher in group S than in group Ⅰ ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Isoflurane has better myocardial protective effect than sevoflurane in patients undergoing OPCABG.

BACKGROUND: Demineralized bone matrix and bone morphogenetic protein have been shown to have good bone induction, but less studies concerned nanometer demineralized bone matrix. Its physical and chemical properties and biological security are not yet clear.
OBJECTIVE:On the basis of preparing the nanometer human demineralized bone matrix in previous experiment, we mixed the recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 together to obtain the new bone graft substitute and to research its physical and chemical properties and biological security.
METHODS:The human demineralized bone matrixes were prepared by the method of modified Urist and nano-processed then mixed with the bone morphogenetic protein-2 in specific proportions in order to be lyophilized to complete the fol owing experiments. (1) Pyrogen experiment:the material extracts were injected in the rabbits by ear intravenous. (2) Toxicity experiments:material extracts and saline were separately injected via the tail vein of mice in vivo. (3) Implantation experiments:experimental materials andβ-tricalcium phosphate were implanted into rabbits on both sides of the hindlimb muscle.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After lyophilized shaping, the nanometer demineralized bone matrix material had dense surface and it’s pore diameter was 100-400μm. The pore distribution was less uniform and the porosity was of less than 30%. The main elements were carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. Nanometer human demineralized bone matrix with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 did not have pyrogen effect and the rabbits’ body temperature had no significant fluctuations after injection. The acute systemic toxicity test results showed that the nanometer human demineralized bone matrix with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 complied with the relevant provisions of the State, without obvious toxic reaction. The inflammatory response of nanometer human demineralized bone matrix with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 was significantly lighter than the reaction ofβ-tricalcium phosphate. The results showed that the nanometer human demineralized bone matrix with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 is a nanometer al ogeneic bone graft substitutes with nontoxicity, good biocompatibility, high bioavailability, and less inflammatory reaction.
