Objective To investigate the predictive value of C-reactive protein(CRP)and serum calcium in the patients with acute pancreatitis(AP).Methods 85 cases of AP in our hospital from January to December 2013 were selected as the study subjects,in-cluding 40 cases of mild acute pancreatitis(MAP)and 45 cases of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).40 cases of normal volunteers were selected as the control group.The levels of serum calcium and CRP were detected in the three groups by the automatic bio-chemical analyzer and turbidimetric immunoassay.Results The levels of serum calcium in the MAP and SAP groups was on the low side and significantly lower than that in the control group,but which in the MAP group were higher than that in the SAP group,the differences were statistically significant(P <0.05).The level of serum CRP in the MAP group and SAP group was high-er than that in the control group,and which in the SAP group was higher than that in the MAP group,the difference was statistical-ly significant(P <0.05).The level of serum calcium on the third after admission in the MAP and SAP groups was significantlyin-creased compared with the day of admission(P <0.05),but the levels of CRP in the MAP and SAP groups were significantly de-creased,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).The CRP detection was more in clinic,but the experiment indicating that simultaneous detection of serum CRP and calcium could significantly increase the accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of clinical judgement,the difference had statistical significance(P <0.05).Conclusion Serum calcium and CRP can be used as the predictive indexes for the condition progression and prognosis of acute pancreatitis and their joint examination can improve the sensitivity,spe-cificity and accuracy of the detection.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of detecting platelet parameters in platelet transfusion patients by Investigating the relationship between platelet parameters and efficacy of platelet transfusion and prognosis.Methods A total of 50 patients who underwent platelet transfusion in our hospital in 2014 to 2016 were reviewed.Patients divided into two groups (with normal platelet counts group or subnormal platelet counts group) according to outcomes of blood biochemistry and routine after five days of platelets transfusion.Platelet parameters (platelet count,platelet distribution width,mean platelet volume,large platelet ratio) and CCI were evaluated by statistical analysis.Results The numbers of patients with CCI＞4.5 in normal platelet counts group is 21 (77.78％),that in subnormal platelet counts group is 11 (47.83％).Platelet parameters before transfusion showed no significant difference between two groups (P＞ 0.05).After transfusion,in normal platelet counts group Plt,PDW,MPV and P-LCR were significantly higher than another group (P＜0.01).MPV and P-LCR were increased in normal platelet counts group,and decreased in normal platelet counts group after transfusion.Condusion Detection of platelet parameters,especially MPV and P-LCR,is important for evaluating the efficacy and prognosis of platelet transfusion.

Objective To analyze the effect of perioperative blood transfusion in orthopedic surgery.Methods A total of 201 patients who underwent an orthopedic surgery in our hospital in October 2015 to September 2016 were reviewed.Hemoglobin concentrations,hematocrit,postoperative hospital stay,infection and other related data were analyzed.Results 90 patients were transfused with blood and in 111 patients were not during orthopedic surgery (massive blood transfusion group including 17 cases;non massive blood transfusion group including 94 cases).Hemoglobin concentrations of transfusion group (103.09±16.37)g/L was lower than the non transfusion group (115.79± 13.68)g/L before liying hospital,postoperative hospitalization time of transfusion group (12.012±8.36) was longer than that of non transfusion group (16.14 ± 10.47)days.Postoperative infection rate in non transfusion group was 1.11％,and in transfusion group was 15.32％,in massive transfusion group is 52.94％.Conclusion Perioperative blood transfusion is not conducive to the recovery of hemoglobin level patients in orthopedic surgery,prolong hospital stay and increase the rate of infection after surgery.Perioperative blood transfusion makes it difficult to support the outcome of the disease

Objective:To investigate the value of prenatal ultrasound combined with MRI in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of fetal pulmonary sequestration.Methods: The prenatal examination data of 9 cases with pulmonary sequestration confirmed by autopsy and postnatal follow-up was analyzed retrospectively. All fetuses were examined by MR examination performed within 24 hours after ultrasound examination. The results of prenatal ultrasound and MRI were analyzed, and the results were compared with the follow up results.Results: The diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound was 77.78%(7/9), 2 cases were misdiagnosed(one case was misdiagnosed as abdominal mass and one case as pulmonary cystadenoma). The diagnostic accuracy of MRI was 100%.Conclusion: Prenatal ultrasound is the primary method for pulmonary sequestration. As the supplement, MR can display directly the location, shape, size of the lesion. There is high value in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of fetal pulmonary sequestration. The combination of ultrasound and MRI can further improve the diagnostic accuracy of the disease.

?AIM: To study correcting effect and visual quality after laser - assisted in situ keratomileusis ( LASIK ) with femtosecond and posterior chamber intraocular lens ( ICL) implantation in high myopia patients.?METHODS: Fifty-five patients ( 106 eyes ) with high myopia from February 2012 to February 2015 in our hospital were analyzed. According to the different operation, patients were divided into the observation group( using ICL implantation, 27 cases with 53 eyes) and the control group (using LASIK, 28 cases with 53 eyes). Postoperative follow-up was 1a, to observe and analyze the visual quality, higher order aberration and complications of two groups.?RESULTS: Uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) , the best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , effectiveness index and security index at 1a postoperatively of observation group, were 1. 04±0. 86(LogMAR), 0. 97±0. 19(LogMAR), 104. 69± 18. 56, 108. 79 ± 17. 68, significantly higher than those of control group 0. 78 ± 0. 11 ( LogMAR ), 1. 04 ± 0. 09 (LogMAR), 93.78±15. 65, 100. 71±11. 68 (P<0. 05). And observation group in the two kinds of light and shade environment at various spatial frequency contrast sensitivity were higher than the control group. Those under the light environment at 1. 5, 3, 6, 12 c/d and under dark environment at 1. 5, 3, 6, 18 c/d compared were different between the two groups (P<0. 05). Spherical aberration and comatic aberration of observation group at 1a after operation were lower than those of control group (P<0. 05 ). The difference of trefoil between the two groups was not significant ( P > 0. 05 ). No severe complications were observed in both groups.?CONCLUSION: LASIK with femtosecond and ICL lens implantation can effectively improve the patient’s visual quality, but for patients with high myopia, ICL lens implantation effect is more significant, the safety index of ICL implantation, as well as the effectiveness index and the visual quality are better than those of LASIK.
