Objective:To analyze the early warning value of laboratory examination on admission of patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome to critically ill patients.Meetods:In this study, a retrospective case-control study was used to analyze the clinical data and laboratory examination results of patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome admitted to the emergency department of Tangdu Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 2021 to January 2022. According to the patient's laboratory indexes and clinical symptoms, the patients were divided into mild, moderate, severe and critical groups. The general data of the two groups were compared, and the independent risk factors of critically ill patients were screened by multi-factor logistic regression analysis, the predictive model of severe HFRS patients was constructed, and the ROC curve was drawn. .Results:Of the 164 patients with HFRS, 50 were in the severe group and 114 in the mild group. The serum levels of WBC, AST, ALT, Cr, BUN, DD and PCT in the severe group were higher than those in the mild group, while the levels of PLT, ALB and PTA in the severe group were lower than those in the mild group. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that WBC, PLT and PCT were independent influencing factors for the progression of critically ill patients. The predictive model of severe HFRS was established as follows: logit (P) = -0.321 + 0.040 WBC (×10 9/L) -0.045 PLT (×10 9/L) + 0.086 PCT(ng/mL). The early warning ef?cacy of WBC, PLT, And PCT for severe HFRS was further analyzed. The area under the ROC curve (area under curve, AUC) was 0.779, 0.842, 0.862, and the optimal threshold was 10.435×109/L, 41.5 ×109/Land 2.97 ng/mL, respectively. The AUC of joint detection is 0.900, the sensitivity is 88.0%, and the speci?city is 82.5%, which is better than that of a single laboratory. . Conclusions:HFRS laboratory indexes have certain clinical signi?cance for the identi?cation of critically ill patients, in which serum WBC, PLT and PCT indexes are the risk factors of severe HFRS, which provides a theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of severe HFRS patients.

Objective:Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology is used to compare the advantages of insulin degludec (IDeg) as a basal insulin regimen compared with insulin glargine (IGlar) in the treatment of adult type 1 diabetes mellitus.Methods:30 adult patients with T1DM admitted to Heji Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from September 2019 to December 2020 were screened. According to the random number table method, the patients were randomly divided into two groups (insulin degludec group and insulin glargine group) at a ratio of 1∶1, respectively treated with IDeg, IGlar and aspartate insulin for 12 weeks. The main outcome measures were the coefficient of variation of blood glucose (CV), mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), time in range (TIR), time above range (TAR) and time below range (TBR). The secondary outcome measures were mean blood glucose (MBG), standard deviation of blood glucose (SD), fasting blood glucose (FPG), 2 h postprandial blood glucose (2 h BG), hemoglobin A1c (HbA 1c), means of daily differences (MOOD), and the frequency of hypoglycemic events. Results:At 12 weeks of treatment, the HbA 1c, FPG, 2 h BG, MBG, SD, CV and MAGE of insulin degludec group were lower than those of insulin glargine group, with statistically significant difference (all P<0.05). The TIR in the insulin degludec group was significantly higher than that in the insulin glargine group [73(63, 75)% vs 43(28, 63)%, P<0.001], and the TAR was lower than that in the glycerine group [25(17, 23)% vs 35(33, 64)%, P=0.003]. From the curve spectrum of blood glucose level of the two groups, the stability of blood glucose in the insulin degludec group was better than that in the insulin glargine group. After 12 weeks of treatment, 8 cases (8/15) in insulin degludec group had HbA 1c<7.0%, and 4 cases (4/15) in insulin glargine group had HbA 1c<7.0%, without statistically significant difference ( P=0.264). There were 7 cases (7/15) in the insulin degludec group and 1 case (1/15) in the insulin glargine group who achieved high quality blood glucose control, with statistically significant difference ( P=0.035). At the 12th week of outpatient follow-up, the incidence of nocturnal hypoglycemic events in insulin degludec group was significantly lower than that in insulin glargine group (4/15 vs 11/15, P=0.027). Conclusions:Compared with insulin glargine, insulin degludec can achieve higher blood glucose compliance rate, lower blood glucose level and reduce blood glucose fluctuations in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Objective:
To detect the clinicopathological features, immunophenotype, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of composite pheochromocytoma(CP).
Methods:
Five cases of CP were collected at Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2011 to January 2019. The clinical, radiological, histologic, immunohistochemical and outcome data were analyzed; the diagnosis and differential diagnosis were discussed.
Results:
The patients′ age range was 52-68 years (mean 59 years, median 54 years), There were 4 males and 1 female, and the male to female ratio was 4∶1. Tumor size was 3-4 cm (mean 3.6 cm, median 3.5 cm). The most common clinical manifestation was adrenal mass. Histologically, the classical feature was two distinct morphologic components, one with tumor cells arranged in irregular nests, and with fine granular and basophilic oramphophilic cytoplasm; the other was composed of scattered ganglion cells in the background of Schwann cells organized in interwoven bundles. The components of pheochromocytoma expressed PHOX2B(5/5), synaptophysin (5/5), CgA (5/5), the sustentacular cells expressed S-100 protein; the components of ganglioneuroma expressed S-100 protein (5/5), NF (5/5), the ganglion cells were weakly positive for PHOX2B, synaptophysin and CgA. All the cases were surgically resected and all patients were free of recurrence at follow-up.
Conclusions
CP is rare adrenal tumor, and it has typical histologic features but no specific clinical manifestations. Attention should be paid to its characteristic histomorphology with the use of PHOX2B, CgA, synaptophysin and S-100 protein immunohistochemistry that is helpful for its diagnosis.
