Mild cognitive impairment(MCI) is a transition phase between the process of normal aging and the mild dementia.Previous studies have confirmed that besides progress to dementia or death,MCI can also keep stable or convert to normal,and the outcome is different after dividing it into subtypes.This paper mainly discusses the criteria of MCI subtypes,outcome and its possible influential factors.

Objective To assess clinical safety and effect of intracoronary transplantation of autologous bone marrow cells in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods Eighty four AMI patients who had received emergency thromblysis or primary PTCA were enrolled in this study.Elective PCI was undergone in these patients 10-14 days after infarction.During the procedure,50 patients received introcoronary transplantation of autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear cells and the other 34 patients received normal saline as control.All patients achieved TIMI Ⅲ flow after PCI.Dobutamin stress echocardiography,SPECT and F-18-Fluorodeoxyglucose-PET were performed 1 day before and 6 months after the transplantation.All patients finished a 2-year follow up and stress echo examination.Twenty nine patients from the transplantation group and 22 patients from the control group accepted 6-month SPECT reassessment.Results No major adverse events were recorded in all patients who received autologous bone marrow cells transplantation during follow up.Less nitroglycerin usage and increased excercise were observed in the transplantation group.Stress echocardiography showed improvement in LVEF(27.00%?0.89% pre-operation,36.80%?0.58% after 6 months and 40.94%?0.58% after 2 years,P

Objective To summarize the clinical outcomes after the optimization of nutrition support in elderly patients after hepatic carcinoma surgery.Methods The clinical data of 52 elderly patients with hepatic carcinoma in Beijing Hospital were collected and analyzed from 2007 to 2009(research group).Nutritional Risk Screening(NRS)2002 was applied for the nutrition risk screening at admission.NRS 2002 score≥3 was regarded as at nutritional risk.Enteral nutrition(EN)or EN combined with parentoral nutrition(EN+PN)supports were provided during the peri-operative stage.The control group included 30 patients from 2005-2007 under the same conditions with rescareh group but only received PN supports pest-operatively.Nutritional parameters,complications,lengh of hospital stay,and healthcare expenditures were analyzed.Results Body weight and plasma albumin were no significantly different in two groups(P>0.05)by the 7th post-operative day.The incidence of infection-relatod complications and length of hospital stay were significantly lower in research group than in control group (P<0.05).Conclusions Nutrition risk screening should be performed for the elderly patients with hepatic carcinoma after admission.Optimization of peri-operative nutrition support can reduce complications and improve the clinical outcomes.

Objective To evaluate the helical CT diagnostic value of primary retroperitoneal neoplasm(PRN). Methods 32 cases of PRN confirmed by operation and pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Plain and enhanced CT scan were perfomed in 28 cases,and only 4 cases underwent plain CT scans. Results Of 32 cases,15 were benign tumor and 17 cases were malignant tumor.Among them ,16 cases were mesenchymal tissue-origin(11 cases were malignant neoplasm), 10 cases were nervous tissue-origin(3 cases were malignant neoplasm),3 cases were rudimental embryonal tissue-origin(all benign), and the source of unknown-origin were 3cases(all malignant neoplasm).To be correctly localized was 28 cases(87.5%) and correctly qualitative diagnosis of the tumor was 20 cases (62.5%) by CT before operation. Conclusion PRNs have many typies, helical CT provides informations in both position and characteristics before operation.

Objective To evaluate the hemostatic effect of hemocoagulase agkistrodon in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy and to analyze its influence on coagulation function and its safety.Methods A prospective,randomized,double blind and controlled research was conducted in 60 patients aged over 65 years.Patients were divided into 2 groups:the study group and the control group (n =30 each group).Patients in the study group were injected with 2 U hemocoagulase agkistrodon intravenously 20 minutes before operation and with 1 U hemocoagulase agkistrodon 4 hours after operation.Patients in the control group were injected with physiological saline instead of hemocoagulase agkistrodon.The intraoperative intraperitoneal hemorrhage and intraperitoneal drainage at 24 hours after operation were recorded.The changes in bemagglutination and safety were observed.Results 59 cases were finished in this study and 1 case was eliminated.The volume of intraoperative hemorrhage was less in the study group than in the control group [(53.6±68.1) g vs.(88.1±79.7) g,t =2.08,P=0.038].There was no significant difference in the volume of intraperitoneal drainage at 24 hours after operation between the study group and the control group [(71.7±113.3) g vs.(89.0±104.7) g,t =1.69,P=0.075].The hemoagglutinationindexes were similar between two groups and no thrombosis occurred.There was no significant difference in the time of hospital stay between the study group and the control group [(5.2±1.4) days vs.(5.3±1.7) days,t=0.52,P=0.61].No adverse event was reported.Conclusions Hemocoagulase agkistrodon has relatively good hemostatic effects and safety for the elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of nutritional risk and malnutrition among hospitalized elderly abdominal surgical patients with malignant tumors.MethodsTotally 269 elderly patents ( ≥ 65 years) with malignant tumor who were hospitalized in our department of abdominal surgery from December 2009 to November 2010 were consecutively enrolled.Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 ( NRS 2002 ) was performed on the next morning after admission.Body mass index (BMI) lower than 18.5 kg/m2 was considered as malnutrition.Results The NRS 2002 was completed in all the 269 enrolled patients.The overall prevalence of malnutrition was 30.1％ (81/269) ; more specifically,37.5％ (21/56) among geriatric patients ( ≥80 years) and 17.6％ (43/245) among the other age groups (P =0.001 ).The overall rate of nutrition risk was 38.3％ (103/269) ; more specifically,57.1％ (32/56) among the geriatric patients and 29.3％ (72/245) among the other age groups (P ＜0.001 ).The rate of nutrition risk in patients with pancreas cancer was 58.3％,which was higher than other elderly patients; on the contrary,and the rate of nutrition risk in the patients with colorectal cancer was relatively lower.ConclusionThe rates of nutrition risk and malnutrition in hospitalized elderly abdominal surgical patients ( ≥ 65years) with malignant tumor are relatively higher than other age groups,especially among the geriatric patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical outcome of the combined nutrition support for colorectal cancer patients.MethodsTwo research arms were obtained using a cohort sampling method.Ann A ( the study group): from 2009 to 2010,30 colorectal cancer patients were enrolled.They received nutritional risk screening (NRS) 2002 after admission.Nutritional risk was defined as NRS 2002 score ≥3 three days before operation.Patients with nutritional risk received enteral nutrition (EN) for bowel preparation without laxative drug and enema.After operation,they received EN combined with parenteral nutrition (PN) supports provided.Arm B (control group): 30 cases with historically confirmed colorectal cancer were enrolled from 2007 to 2008.They received routine bowel preparation (diet control,laxative drug,and enema) and PN supports after operation.Nutritional parameters,the rate of infectious complications,the rate of systemic inflammatory response syndrome,and the duration of hospital stay were analyzed.ResultsThere were no significant difference in body weight and plasma albumin between these two arms ( P ＞ 0.05 ). The incidence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (13.3 ％ ),infectious complications (10.0％ ),and the duration of hospital stay [ (12.3 ± 6.5 ) d ] in arm A were significantly lowerthan those in arm B [33％,30％,and (15.0 ±7.2) d,respectively] (P =0.038,P =0.042,P =0.045).Conclusion For the colorectal cancer patients,nutritional risk screening on admission,bowel preparation with eneral nutrition before operation,and combined nutritional support after operation can improve the clinical outcome.

Objective To provide the guidance for the control and treatment of blood stream infec-tion caused by Serratia marcescens strains through analyzing the homology and drug resistant genes of the iso-lates collected from the Intensive Care Unit ( ICU) of Shaoxing County Central Hospital.Methods Serratia marcescens strains were isolated from ICU patients with blood stream infection and also from the hands of health care providers in the ICU from June 1st to September 30th, 2013.The antibiotic susceptibilities of the Serratia marcescens isolates were tested.PCR was performed to amplify the common drug resistant genes. Pulse-field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE) was carried out for analyzing the homology of all isolates.The com-plete clinical data of the patients were collected and statistically analyzed with Spearman′s rank correlation coefficient.Results Seventeen strains were isolated in this study.All of the 17 strains were resistant to the first and second generation Cephalosporin, Gentamicin and Ciprofloxacin, and sensitive to Amikacin and Ceftazidime.The drug resistant rates to Carbapenems ranged from 11.76%to 35.29%.One of the isolates (5.88%) carried the TEM gene.The results of PFGE showed that the phenotypes of all isolates were identi-cal.Conclusion Serratia marcescens strains were critical hospital infectious pathogens.They were able to spread in the hospital and were resistant to multiple antibiotics.Clinical physicians should properly use anti-biotics for the patients based on the result of drug susceptibility test.A control regulation for Serratia marces-cens infection within hospital should be enforced to avoid the cross infection and the outbreak of resistant strains.

BACKGROUND: Primary studies suggest that coronary artery stenosis is highly exactly shown by 16-slice spiral CT coronary artery imaging.OBJECTIVE: To compare the accuracy and limitation between coronary angiography and multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) coronary artery imaging to diagnose moderate and severe coronary artery stenosis. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Clinical diagnostic study based on gold standard, which was carried out in the Department of Cardiology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2005 to March 2006. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-eight patients with suspected coronary arteriosclerotic heart disease were examined by 64-slice spiral CT coronary artery imaging and coronary artery angiography during the 1-month hospitalization in the Department of Cardiology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2005 to March 2006. METHODS: 280 segments of 28 patients were quantitatively analyzed coronary artery stenosis by selective coronary artery angiography and multi-slice spiral CT imaging based on eye-measurement diameter method. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: True positive, true negative, false positive, false negative, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of coronary artery stenosis were measured by multi-slice spiral CT imaging.RESULTS: All 28 patients were included in the final analysis. Multi-slice spiral CT imaging showed that the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 46.5%, 97.6%, 86.8%, and 84.3%, respectively. If excluding the effect of 31 coronary segments with severe calcification, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 66.7%, 98.6%, 90.3% and 93.6%, respectively.CONCLUSION: Multi-slice spiral CT imaging is simple, reliable, noninvasive and safe; moreover, it has a good potential for diagnosing especially excluding coronary arteriosclerotic heart disease, but still some limits.

Objective To compare the benefits of the combined nutrition support with enteral nutrition (EN)and parenteral nutrition(PN)versus sole PN for elder patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods The clinical data of 48 consecutive elderly patients who underwent Whipple operations in Beijing Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into PN+EN group(n=25)and sole PN group(n=23)according to the nutrition support modes.Demographic data as well as data on liver function,endotoxin levels,and post-operative complications were recorded.Mortality,length of hospital stay,and total costs of post-operative management were compared between two groups.Results Endotoxin level increased on the 1stpost-operative day(POD 1) in two groups,but there is not significant difference,and then gradually decreased in beth two groups;however,the decrease rate(compared with the POD 1 level)was significantly higher in PN+EN group than in PN group on POD 7 and 14(P<0.01).The levels of alanine transaminase,aspartate aminotransferase,total bilirubin,and direct bilirubin increased on POD 1 in both groups,but there is not significant difference,and then gradually decreased;however,the decrease rates(compared with the levels on POD 1)were also significantly higher in PN+EN group than in PN group(P<0.05)on POD 14.Infective complication rate in group PN+EN(2/25,8.0%)was significantly lower than that in group PN(6/23,26.0%)(P<0.05).Total complication rate,post-operative hospital stay,and total costs were similar between these both groups.Conclusions PN+EN can effectively reduce endotoxemia and post-operative infective complications and improve liver function without increasing costs.Therefore,it is feasible for elderly patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
