0.05).Conclusion HRCT is surperior to plain CT in grading,especially in the evaluating early lesions of sacroiliac joint,but for the moderate and serious inflammatory changes of AS, both CT and HRCT are equivalent in the diagnosis of sacroiliitis.

Objective To study the relationship between serum level of homocysteic acid(Hcy)and type 2 diabetic mellitus(T2DM),and to explore the influencing factors serum for Hey level in T2DM patients.Methods Totally T2DM 122 patients(T2DM group),67 patients with chronic kidney diease(CKD group)and 50 healthy controls(CON group)were enrolled in the investigation.The variation of serum Hcy of all groups was observed,and the correlation of serum Hcy level with estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),fasting serum glucose,HbA1C,Urea and creatinine was analyzed.Serum Hcy was measured by enzymatic cycling assay;HbA1C was measured by high-pressure liquid chromatography assay;and eGFR was calculated by using the Levey-modified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula.Results There was no significant difference in serum level of Hcy between T2DM group and CON group(P＞0.05).The serum concentration of Hey was significantly higher in CKD group than that of T2DM group and CON group(P＜0.01).There was only 8.20% exceeding the upper limit of 95% of CON group in T2DM group,while 64.18% exceeding the upper limit of 95% of CON group in CKD group.There was no significant difference of Hcy level between patients with eGFR≥90 mL·(min·1.73 m2)-1 in T2DM group and healthy controls(P＞0.05),but the Hey level was significantly higher in patients with eGFR＜90 mL·(min·1.73 m2)-1 than that of healthy controls(P＜0.05).In T2DM group and CKD group,serum Hey level was negatively correlative to eGFR(P＜0.01).positively correlative to Urea and creatinine(P＜0.01);but serum Hcy level did not correlate with fasting serum glucose,HbA1C,total cholesterol and triglyceride(P＞0.05).Conclusion Renal function is an independent risk factor for serum homocysteine level in type 2 diabetes rather than diabetes itself.

Objective To study the basic pathogenic cause,clinical characteristics,treatment methods and prognosis of sub-acute infective endocarditis (IE) ,and to improve the diagnosis and treatment against it Methods The basic cardiac disease,clinical characteristics,pathogenic bacteria,ultrasound cardiogram, therapy and prognosis of 36 cases of sub-acute IE was retrospectively analyzed. Results Compared to previous reports, the proportion of rheumatic cardiac disease was a little lower, whereas the proportion of congenital cardiac disease and not-recorded cardiac diseases were a little higher.The main clinical characteristics showed as fever, heart failure, increasing in number of neutrophile granulocyte,blood sedimentation and anemia, The positive rate of blood culture was 58. 33% with the most common pathogenic bacterium of streptococcus viridans. Endocardial vegetation has been diagnosed in 63. 89% of patients through-thoracic echo-cardiography. The short-term fatality rate was 19. 44% . Conclusions There have been significant changes in the basic pathogenic causes,clinical characteristics and pathogenic bacteria of sub-acute IE as compared to the previous reports. The fatality rate remains high even after active treatment. Early surgical operation is recommended to those suitable patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of telephone follow-up on peripherally inserted central cathter(PICC) maintenance.Methods Two hundred and eighty-nine patients with PICC in our hospital from January to December 2010 served as the control group,given conventional health education on intubation,another 305 patients with PICC from January to December 2011 were set as the observation group,where telephone call follow-up was done on the basis of conventional health education on intubation. The two groups were compared in terms of timely catheter maintenance,catheter-related complications,accidental extubation and satisfaction.Result The observation group was significantly better than the control group in terms of timely catheter maintenance, catheter-related complications,accidental extubation and satisfaction (allP<0.05).Conclusion Telephone follow-up helps to improve patients compliance with PICC catheter maintenance,effectively control the complications and improve the quality of life and satisfaction degree.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of comprehensive rehabilitation nursing on patients with cere-bral infarction (CI)complicated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:According to number table,a total of 118 CI + T2DM patients were randomly and equally divided into comprehensive nursing group and routine nursing group.Comprehensive nursing group received comprehensive nursing based on routine nursing.The evaluating inde-xes included fasting blood glucose (FBG)concentration,limb muscle strength recovery and score of activity of daily living of two groups before hospitalization and discharge.Results:Compared with routine treatment group before discharge,there was significant reduction [(7.9±4.2)mmol/L vs.(5.9±2.8)mmol/L]in FBG concentration in comprehensive nursing group;limb muscle strength recovery of comprehensive nursing group was significantly better than that of routine nursing group (≥ grade III,upper limb 83.1% vs.64.4%,lower limb 76.3% vs.55.9%);percentage of patients with activity of daily living score > 60 scores (33.9%)in comprehensive nursing group was significantly higher than that of routine nursing group (15.2%),P <0.05 all. Conclusion:Comprehensive rehabili-tation nursing could promote the rehabilitation of physical function in patients with cerebral infarction complicated type 2 diabetes mellitus.
