Objective To investigate the correlation of bone mineral density (BMD) with plasma Klotho levels and its related factors in type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM) . Methods BMD was measured by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in 159 T2DM patients. The patients were divided into three groups:normal bone mass, reduced bone mass and osteoporosis. The fasting plasma levels of Klotho were detected in these patients using enzyme linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA), clinical and biochemical parameters also were tested, the difference and related factors were compared and analyzed in each group. Results Plasma Klotho levels were not significantly different among the three groups (4.95±0.48 vs 4.96±0.47 vs 4.91±0.49,P>0.05) . BMD at the first, second, third, fourth and total lumbar spine, femoral neck, trochanter and total body were not associated with plasma Klotho levels in these patients (P>0.05) . Age, diabetic duration, HDL-C and BMI were independent determinants for BMD in T2DM patients. Conclusions BMD might be not associated with plasma Klotho level in T2DM patients. But age,diabetic duration,HDL-C and BMI are associated with reduced BMD and osteoporosis in T2DM patients.

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a commonly used technology in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure. It has higher resolution and repeatability, and more importantly, it can make the vascular structure visiable which shows the plaque morphology and component, compared with traditional coronary angiography. Most researches indicated that IVUS can help doctors find out the optimized stent size, stent malapposition,stent disexpansion,and procedure complication, thus reduce the incidence of restenosis and stent thrombosis. IVUS has been widely applied in research about the predictors of PCI complication, these results benefit us to make better decision on PCI procedure. In this article, we reviewed the studies based on IVUS technology during the last 10 years and summrized according to restenosiss and stent thrombosis with BMS (bare metal stent) and DES (drug eluting stent) .

Methods We retrospectively analyzed the diagnosis and treatment process of 14 patients with sinonasal neuroendocrine carcinoma (SNEC) admitted in The First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from 2007 to 2011. All patients were followed up to learn the survival status of them.Results All patients were followed up for one year up to six years except 2 patients who gave up treatment. Five patients died and six survived with good tumor control in the followed up period. Two patients received only endoscopy surgery, and one of them died from lung metastasis in 21 months after operation, and the other one survived with good tumor control, the disease free survival (DFS) was 9 months . Eight patients were treated by endscopy surgery and /or chemo-radiotherapy, three cases died in following-up period, and five of them survivied with good tumor control, and the disease free survival was 20.25 months.Two patients with transcatheter arterial infusion chemotherapy survivied with good tumor control within the follow up period,and the DFS was 25.5 months.Five patients had moderately differentiated SNEC and DFS was 25.5 months. Seven patients had poorly differentiated SNEC with DFS 14.6 months. Six patients were T4N0M0, four patients were T3N0M0, two patients T2N0M0, and their DFS were 19 months, 12.8 months and 33 month, respectively. Conclusions Surgery with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is the current treatment method for sinonasal neuroendocrine carcinoma. Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma with poor differiation displays highly aggressive and poor prognosis. Diagnosis and treatment in early stage is important for good prognosis.
