Summary
Vertical nystagmus is a vertical nystagmus caused by structural abnormalities and/or dysfunction of the central vestibular system and observed in situ in the center of the eyeball. There are two kinds of nystagmus (UBN) and downbeat nystagmus (DBN) according to the direction of nystagmus. The diagnosis of UBN is mainly made by naked eye or electronystagmography/viewer. It is a common neuro-ophthalmologic sign in the field of vestibular medicine. In this paper, the mechanism of vertical nystagmus formation and the location of lesions were briefly introduced, in order to provide help for the diagnosis and treatment of Vertigo.

Objective:Chemiluminescence immunoassay was used to detect the levels of anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) -IgA/IgG/IgM and anti-β2-glycoprotein Ⅰ antibody (aβ2GPⅠ) -IgA/IgG/IgM in healthy non-pregnant and pregnant women to explore the changes of antiphospholipid antibody in different pregnancy periods.Methods:This prospective study was conducted in Shandong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University, involving normal pregnant women who underwent prenatal examination and healthy non-pregnant women with no history of adverse pregnancy who underwent progestational eugenic health examination from April 2020 to August 2021. The levels of aCL-IgA/IgG/IgM and aβ2GPⅠ-IgA/IgG/IgM were detected using BIO-FLASH chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer and P95 as well as P99 were calculated, respectively. The difference in the six data between non-pregnant and pregnant women was compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the change of each antibody in different pregnancy periods and Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between different trimester and the levels of aCL-IgA/IgG/IgM and aβ2GPⅠ-IgA/IgG/IgM. Results:A total of 454 cases met the inclusion criteria, and 435 cases were included in the analysis after excluding 19 cases, among them 110 were non-pregnant women and 325 were pregnant women, including 110 cases in the first trimester (≤13 +6 weeks), 110 cases in the second trimester(14 +0-27 +6 weeks), and 105 cases in the third trimester (≥28 weeks). P99 value of aCL-IgA/IgG/IgM and aβ2GPⅠ-IgA/IgG/IgM in the non-pregnant women were 7.31, 14.70, 7.92, 3.58, 13.60, and 4.95 CU, which in the pregnant women were 5.90, 12.78, 5.70, 1.60, 10.65, and 3.90 CU, and were all lower than the cut-off value of 20 CU that given by the analyzer manufacturer. The levels of aCL-IgA/IgG/IgM, and aβ2GPⅠ-IgG/IgM in the pregnant women were significantly decreased comparing with the non-pregnant women [aCL-IgA: 1.90 CU (1.40-2.70 CU) vs 2.90 CU (2.20-3.83 CU), Z=-7.14; aCL-IgG: 3.00 CU (2.20-4.50 CU) vs 6.10 CU (4.20-7.83 CU), Z=-10.26; aCL-IgM: 1.40 CU (1.10-2.30 CU) vs 2.65 CU (2.08-3.73 CU), Z=-8.87; aβ2GPⅠ-IgG: 3.50 CU (2.60-4.90 CU) vs 4.75 CU (3.60-5.93 CU), Z=-5.45; aβ2GPⅠ-IgM: 0.70 CU (0.50-1.20 CU) vs 1.00 CU (0.60-1.53 CU) , Z=-3.73; all P<0.001]. The aCL-IgA level in the third trimester was higher than those in the first and second trimester (both P<0.05). The levels of aCL-IgG/IgM in the second trimester and aβ2GPⅠ- IgG in the second and third trimesters were significantly decreased than those in the first trimester (all P<0.05). Spearman analysis showed that aCL-IgG/IgM, aβ2GPⅠ-IgA/IgM had no significant correlation with the pregnancy period (the first, second and the third trimester) (all P>0.05). However, a weak correlation between the aCL-IgA, aβ2GPⅠ- IgG and the pregnancy period was observed ( r=0.28 and-0.49, both P<0.001) Conclusions:P99 value of aCL-IgA/IgG/IgM and aβ2GPⅠ-IgA/IgG/IgM levels in normal pregnant women and non-pregnant women are lower than the cut-off value of 20 CU given by the analyzer manufacturer. The levels of aCL-IgA/IgG/IgM and aβ2GPⅠ-IgG/IgM during pregnancy are lower than those before pregnancy and fluctuate with the pregnancy period, but have no significant correlation with the pregnancy period. The clinical diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome should be made according to the cut-off values of aCL-IgA/IgG/IgM and aβ2GPⅠ-IgA/IgG/IgM determined by each laboratory.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of dapagliflozin combined with metformin on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:A total of 100 patients with T2DM who received treatment in The Second People's Hospital of Hefei from June 2019 to May 2021 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into a control group ( n = 50) and an experimental group ( n = 50). The control group was treated with metformin, and the experimental group was treated with dagglitazin combined with metformin. All patients were treated for 3 months. Blood glucose index, blood lipid level, and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, fasting blood glucose, 2-hour post-prandial blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin in the experimental group were (5.56 ± 0.37) mmol/L, (8.32 ± 0.23) mmol/L, and (6.17 ± 0.26)% respectively, which were significantly lower than (6.96 ± 0.48) mmol/L, (9.58 ± 0.39) mmol/L, and (7.27 ± 0.26)% respectively in the control group ( t = 3.59, 6.92, 5.03, all P < 0.05). The total cholesterol and triglyceride in the experimental group were (3.58 ± 0.53) mmol/L and (1.25±0.26) mmol/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (4.94 ± 0.58) mmol/L and (1.93 ± 0.18) mmol/L in the control group ( t = 3.16, 4.25, both P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Dapagliflozin combined with metformin can effectively control blood glucose and blood lipid in T2DM patients without increasing adverse reactions.

Most of the common dizziness/vertigo diseases in otology clinic are peripheral vertigo diseases, and while about 20% -30% of all vertigo diseases are caused by central nervous system diseases. Pseudo vestibular neuritis, acute ischemic stroke with audiovestibular loss, and central paroxysmal positional vertigo are the three types of central "malignant vertigo" diseases which are most easily misdiagnosed by otologists. This article described the clinical characteristics and bedside physical performance of these three diseases, and summarized the differential diagnosis points for clinical reference.
