Objective:To investigate the incidence and related factors with sarcopenia in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods:A total of 131 patients with non-hospitalized maintenance hemodialysis who had been maintained for at least 3 months and in a stable condition were enrolled in a cross-sectional study.Bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) method was employed to examine the muscle mass.MQSGA questionnaire was used to evaluate patients'nutrition status as well as related laboratory indicators.Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of sarcopenia in MHD patients.Results:The incidence of sarcopenia in 131 MHD patients was 41.22％ (54/131).Significant differences were observed in gender,duration of hemodialysis,hs-CRP and the score of M(Q)SGA between the two groups.The incidence of sarcopenia in male was 43.67 times compared with female.And with the increase of hs-CRP levels and MQSGA score,the incidence of sarcopenia was increased as well (P ＜0.05).Conclusion:Sarcopenia has a high incidence in MHD patients,and male,micro-inflammatory state and malnutrition were the risk factors.

Objective To investigate the life quality (QoL) of end stage renal disease patients. Methods KDQOL-SFTM1.2 scale was used to assess the life quality of end-stage renal disease patients who received maintenance hemodialysis or Newly diagnosed but not yet received renal replacement therapy more than three months in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University or the Yunnan Kidney Disease Hospital from March 2011 to July 2012. Results (1) The QoL of maintenance hemodialysis group was significantly higher than not yet started renal replacement therapy group in the Physical functioning (PF),Role physical (RP),Body pain (BP) fields, the difference was statistically significant ( <0.05) . (2) The QoL of maintenance hemodialysis group was significantly higher than not yet started renal replacement therapy group in the Symptom/problem list (SPL), Sleep fields,but lower than not yet started renal replacement therapy group in the Effects of Kidney disease (EKD), Work status (WS) fields,the difference was statistically significant (<0.05) . Conclusion The life quality of maintenance hemodialysis patients is higher than newly diagnosed but not yet started renal replacement therapy patients in some aspects.

Objective Investigate the quality of life (QoL) and its related factors of end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients subjected to kidney transplantation or hemodialysis. Methods From March 2011 to July 2012, patients subjected to kidney transplantation or hemodialysis more than three months hospitalized in the first affiliated hospital of Kunming Medical University and the Yunnan Kidney Disease Hospital were enrolled. Their biochemical indexes were determined and questionnaire survey was performed using KDQOL-SFTM1.2 scale to assess the QoL of ESRD patients. Results (1) The QoL of renal transplantation group was significantly higher than hemodialysis group in the 36-item health survey (SF-36),its physiological and psychological field scores,and the difference was statistically significant ( <0.001);(2) The QoL of renal transplantation group was significantly higher than hemodialysis group in the kidney disease-targeted scales (KDTA) and its fields excepting cognitive function (CF), quality of social interaction (QSI) and sleep field, and the difference was statistically significant ( <0.001); (3) Correlation analysis showed that the scores of SF-36 and KDTA in two groups were positively associated with albumin (Alb) but negatively associated with age. The scores of SF-36 in two groups were positively associated with hemoglobin (Hb) and degree of education. Conclusion The results showed that the QoL of kidney transplantation patients was much higher than that of hemodialysis patients.

Objective To evaluate the effects and the prognosis of beta receptor blocker (metoprolol)dose adjustment of senile patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF)of acute exacerbation,and to provide reference for clinical treatment.Methods 76 cases with chronic CHF in acute exacerbation who treated with beta blockers and other reasonable treatment were randomly divided into half dose group (40 cases)and full stop group (36 cases).After adjusted for 3 months,the clinical symptoms were observed,noninvasive hemodynamic machine was used to detect cardiac index (CI),left cardiac work (LCW),cardiac output (CO)and changes of other indicators. Immunoradiometric analysis was used to detect plasma type B natriuretic peptide (BNP).Results 72h after treatment,in the half dose group,the progression of the disease in 13 cases,improved in 27 cases,in the full stop group,progression in 20 cases,improvement in 16 cases,the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =4.09,P <0.05).Before the adjustment of metoprolol,the index of the two groups had statistically significant difference(χ2 =4.52,P <0.05 ).Compared with pretreatment,the changes of NYHA classification,Co,CI,LCW of the half dose group were not obvious,and he change of NYHA of the full stop group was obvious,,III /IV the progression of the disease the number of cases increased in 5 cases and 3 cases,Co,Ci,LCW were reduced by about 25%,35% and 30%.After the adjustment of metoprolol,BNP of the half dose group was (321.8 ±97.6 )mg/L,which was significantly lower than (422.3 ±139.4)mg/L of the full stop group,the difference was statistically significant (t =3.94,P <0.05 ).Conclusion In the patients with beta blockers combined with other reasonable treatment, CHF patients with acute exacerbation of the beta blockers than the discontinuation of the prognosis,and the safety is high.

Objective To explore the lowest effective dosage of mifepristone combined with misoprostol in terminating ultra-early pregnancy.Methods All the cases of ultra-early pregnancy classified by amenorrhea days,β-hCG and vaginal B-ultrasonic were randomly divided into two groups.One hundred cases in G1 group (minimized dosage) were orally administered 25 mg mifepristone once a day for 2 days and combined with 200 μg misoprostol 48 hours later,while 150 mg mifepristone combined with 600 μg misoprostol 48 hours later were given to 100 cases in G2 group (normal dosage).All cases were observed for 6 hours after taking misoprostol and returned for assessment three days later.Results None missing.Expulsion of conceptus:G1 and G2 group were 22 (22.0％,22/100) and 25 (25.0％,25/100;P ＞ 0.05).Failure rate:cases with incomplete abortion were 1 (1.0％,1/100) and 2 (2.0％,2/100) in G1 and G2 group,hospitalization for suspected ectopic pregnancies both was 1 (1.0％).Bleeding:bleeding cases during the administration of mifepristone in G1 and G2 group were 71 (71.0％,71/100) and 78 (78.0％,78/100; P＞0.05); the mcan bleeding time were (5.3 ± 1.4) days and (6.0± 1.5) days (P ＜0.01).Other side effects:in G1 group,majority showed light nausea (7.0％,7/100) and light abdominal pain (20.0％,20/100).Menses recovery:99 (99.0％,99/100) for G1 group and 98 (98.0％,98/100) for G2 group to recovery on scheduled time.Satisfactions:both were 99 (99.0％,99/100).Except mean bleeding days and side-effects,the differences above showed no significance (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion It is safe and effective treatment with the lowest dosages of mifepristone and misoprostol to terminate ultra-early pregnancies.
