Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of vertebroplasty using vertebral pedicle screw technique combined with calcium sulfate cement injection in the treatment of thoracolumbar vertebrae fractures.Methods Twenty-eight patients with thoracolumbar vertebrae fractures admitted in our department in recent 2 years were enrolled in this study,including 21 cases of type A,3 cases of type B,and 4 cases of type C.All patients were fixed with vertebral pedicle screw,and then verteplasty was performed using calcium sulfate cement injection.Results All patients were followed up for an average time of 16 months.Within the follow-up,there was no complication noted,such as loosening or breakage of internal fixation,chronical lumbar back pain,and loss of effected vertebral height.Artificial bones injected into vertebrae were absorbed in about 3 months.Conclusion Vertebroplasty using vertebral pedicle screw technique combined with calcium sulfate cement injection is an effective and safe procedure for thoracolumbar vertebrae fractures,which renders it possible to bear weight early and to maintain corrected vertebral height postoperatively.

ObjectiveTo explore the role of autofluorescence bronchoscopy in lung cancer operation and the meaning of choice lung cancer operation mode.MethodsTo retrospectively analyze 32 non-small cell lung cancer patients.Before lung cancer operation,white light bronchoscopy (WLB) and autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) had been done routinely.Compared the different invasive tumor conditions by WLB and AFB,operation modes were decided by the edge of the tumor which were proved by biopsy pathology.ResultsIn 32 cases,19 cases underwent pulmonary lobectomy.One case underwent carinal resection and reconstruction.8 cases underwent sleeve lobectomy.4 cases underwent other therapy because of tumor airway metastasis.In 8 cases which underwent sleeve lobectomy,3 ca ses were found by WLB and AFB together,5 cases were found only by AFB.In 4 cases who had no operation chance,2 cases were found by WLB and AFB together,2 cases were only by AFB.The sensitivity for the detection of bronchial premalignant lesions was extremelyhigher withthe addition of AFB than WLBalone ( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionAutofluorescence bronchoscopy is a safe and efficient technique which could improve the sensitivity of diagnosis in lung cancer than WLB.It is important to select operation mode.

Objective To analyze the incidence, clinical feature and late complications, and treatment for diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus.Methods Ninty children with type 1 diabetes mellitus within 10 years were retrospectively reviewed.The onset situation,clinical feature and long-term complication,and treatment of DKA were analized.Results High morbidity was found in 10 to 16 years old children.DKA was often caused by infection; late complications of diabetes mellitus was resulted from interrupted injection of insulin.Conclusions Emergency treatment for DKA may involve the injection of small dose insulin,correction of the disorder of water and electrolysis and regulation of acid-base.The education of patients and parents about diabetes mellitus and long-term injection of insulin are of importance in preventing the complications.

Objective: To investigate the factors affecting the development of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) among patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM), so as to provide insights into manangement of NPDR. Methods: T2DM patients without obvious eye discomfort at ages of 18 years and older admitted to Department of Endocrinology, Jining No. 1 People's Hospital during the period from December 2019 to May 2021 were enrolled. Participants' demographics, smoking, alcohol consumption, medical history of diabetes and use of medicines were collected, and the height, weight and blood pressure were measured. The levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose, blood C-peptide, lipid and creatinine were tested, and retinopathy was examined with a non-mydriatic fundus camera. The factors affecting the development of NPDR were identified among T2DM patients using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 486 T2DM patients were enrolled, including 354 men (72.84%), with a median age of 48.00 (15.25) years, and median diabetes duration of 35.00 (104.25) months. The prevalence of NPDR was 19.34% among the participants. multivariable logistic regression analysis identified an educational level of senior high school and above (OR=0.546, 95%CI: 0.325-0.918), duration of diabetes (OR=1.008, 95%CI: 1.005-1.012), HbA1c (OR=1.183, 95%CI: 1.034-1.354) and use of non-sulfonylurea insulin secretagogues (OR=1.859, 95%CI: 1.082-3.196) as factors affecting the risk of NPDR among T2DM patients. Conclusion A high risk of NPDR is found among T2DM patients with a low educational level, long duration of diabetes, poor HbA1c control and use of non-sulfonylurea insulin secretagogues.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of red cell distribution width (RDW) and relationship between RDW and severity of critical illness patients and prognostic role of RDW.Methods This was a prospective observational and diagnostic test study.From February 2011 to May 2013,196 medical patients in ICU were enrolled to study.Blood samples were taken within 24 hrs after admission to ICU for blood routine test and other chemical routine test,including RDW.Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score were also calculated.The patients were divided into survival group (n =126) and death group (n =70) based on their hospital outcomes.Differences in RDW levels and APACHE Ⅱ score between survival and death groups were compared with One-way ANOVA.The correlation between RDW and APACHE Ⅱ score were analyzed by Spearman correlation test.Receiver operator curve (ROC) test was used to determine the predictive value of RDW and APACHE Ⅱ for hospital death.Results Both RDW level and APACHE Ⅱ score were significantly higher in death group than those in survival group,whichwere (13.35 ±2.21) vs.(11.34 ±1.32) and (20.43 ±6.41) vs.(13.94 ±6.77) respectively (both P ＜ 0.01).RDW significantly correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score (r =0.309,P ＜0.01).To predict hospital death area under curve (AUC) of ROC curve by RDW and APACHE Ⅱ score were 0.792 (0.725,0.860) and 0.754 (0.686,0.822) respectively.The best cut-off value was determined by Yoden Index were 12.35 for RDW and 17.5 for APACHE Ⅱ score.The Accuracy of prediction was 76.5％ and 70.4％ respectively.In addition,all the 12 paticnts whose RDW level ＞ 15.4 were dead.Conclusion RDW level at admission to ICU correlate well with the severity of critical illness.RDW level has an additional predictive value for the prognosis of critical ill patients.

Objective To observe the clinical features and prognosis of endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis (EBE).Methods Ten eyes of 10 patients diagnosed with unilateral EBE were retrospectively reviewed,including 7 males and 3 females.The mean age was 57.6± 10.8 years old.Eight patients were with diabetes and 7 of them were diagnosed over 5 years.There were 3 patients with hepatocirrhosis,1 patient with hypertension,and 1 patient with coronary disease.Nine cases had infectious diseases,including liver abscess (7 cases),pulmonary infection (3 cases),erysipelas (1 case) and perianal abscess (1 case).Seven cases had fever history.Culture and drug sensitive tests for aerobic bacteria,anaerobic bacteria and fungal were performed for 9 eyes using vitreous samples from the procedures of vitrectomy and/or intravitreal injection.All patients were treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics and adjusted for drug use according to microbiological culture and drug sensitivity test results.After the diagnosis was established,vitrectomy combined with lens removal was performed in 5 hours (3 eyes) and 24 hours (5 eyes);Vitreous tamponade of C3F8 (1 eye) and silicone oil (7 eyes) was used;At the end of the operation,0.1 ml vancomycin (1 mg) and 0.1 ml ceftazidime (1 mg) were injected into the vitreous cavity.One eye received intravitreal injection of 0.1 ml vancomycin (1 mg) and 0.1 ml ceftazidime (mg),one eye received evisceration.During the follow up period from 6 to 24 months,visual function,slit lamp and fundus examinations were performed at each office visit.Results All patients complained of blurred vision and 5 patients had ocular pain.The visual acuity was no light perception (3 eyes),light perception (5 eyes);hand motion (1 eye) and 0.1 (1 eye).Corneal edema was found in all 10 eyes;hypopyon in 8 eyes;diffuse vitreous opacity in 10 eyes,including 3 eyes with retinal detachment.For 8 eyes treated by vitrectomy and intravitreal injection,1 eye was eviscerated due to uncontrolled inflammation.The eye treated with intravitreal injection was enucleated for its uncontrolled inflammation.For 9 eyes received vitreous culture and drug testing,8 eyes (88.9％) had positive results,including 5 eyes with Klebsiellar pneumonia,and 1 eye with Staphylococcus aureus,or Streptococcus agalactiae or Enterococcus faecalis respectively.At last office visit,2 eyes were with no light perception;4 eyes were with hand motion;and 1 eye with visual acuity of 0.1.Conclusions Most of the patients with endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis have systemic predisposing factors.Klebsiella pneumoniae is the leading cause of ocular EBE.Vitrectomy combined with intravitreal injection of antibiotics showed efficacy in treating EBE.

Objective: To observe the role of rmh-TNF in enhancing the anti-angiogenesis effect of cisplatin on Lewis lung carcinoma in the mice.Methods: Lewis lung carcinoma model was established in C57BL/6 mice.Sixty model mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group,rmh-TNF group(1500000 U/kg),cisplatin group(6.15 mg/kg), and rmh-TNF plus cisplatin group.Twelve days after implantation of cancer cells,different drugs were injected intra- tumorallv for 3d.The expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1?(HIF-1?)gene in the tumor was identified by RT-PCR. Immunohistochemistry(IHC)image analysis was performed to determine the vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and kinase domain region receptor(KDR)expression and the microvessel density(MVD).Expression of matrix metallo- proteinase-2(MMP-2)was detected by flow cytometry.Results: The MVD values in the control group,the rmh-TNF group,the DDP group and the combination group were(24.76?1.28),(18.95?1.22),(19.53?1.15),(10.43?1.05),respectively,with those of the rmh-TNF and DDP groups significantly lower than that of the control group and higher than that of the combination group(all P
