1.Comparative research of blood-gas biochemical analyzer in emergency biochemistry test
China Medical Equipment 2016;13(5):103-105
Objective:To analyze statistically the results of potassium, sodium, chlorine tests by blood-gas biochemical analyzer and automatic biochemical analyzer, in order to have a reference data for blood-gas biochemical analyzer in emergency biochemistry examination.Methods: A total of 101 cases were selected in emergency department. Arterial and venous blood samples of these cases were drawn and tested in electrolyte examination by blood-gas biochemical analyzer and automatic biochemical analyzer. The results of both instruments measured were analyzed statistically.Results: The results of potassium, sodium, chloride ion concentrations tested by blood-gas analyzer ABL80 were lower than the results tested by Beckman AU5800 automatic biochemical analyzer. The correlation analysis were performed in each tested item between the two instruments, and the differences were statistically significant(r=0.997,r=0.992,r=0.989;P<0.05).Conclusion: Although there were differences between two instruments in testing potassium, sodium and chloride ion concentration, the correlation was significant in each test item between the two instruments and the testing speed of blood-gas analyzer ABL80 is faster than the other. Therefore, in order to make quick and accurate clinical judgments about patient's condition, it is worth using blood-gas biochemical analyzer for a preliminary reference in clinical application.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the presence of a crown (CR) or a proximal restoration (PR) and furcation involvement (FI) on molars. Methods: Data were collected from 237 teeth in 44 patients who had restored and non-restored molars with or without FI.The clinical examinations were conducted on the molars including CR,PR,FI, mobility(MO), endodontic treatment(EN) and probe of periodontal attachment level(PAL). Results: Molars with CR or PR had a significantly highter percentage of FI (P0.05) when compared to molars without restorations. Conclusion: The molars with crowns or restorations involving the proximal tooth surfaces have a highter prevalence of FI and more periodontal attachment lose than molars without restorations.

Objective:To explore a preliminary method for comprehensive motor function assessment in older adults in order to promote functional maintenance and independent living.Methods:Cross-sectional study.A total of 1, 680 elderly people aged 60 years and above, aged(69.3±6.8)years, were recruited by volunteer recruitment at the Beijing Hospital Physical Examination Centre and Dongcheng District community, and exercise data were collected on 5 sit-ups, 6 m daily stride, 3 m rise and walk, grip strength, back grip test, chair sit forward bending, and three-posture standing, and the method of exercise function assessment was determined by applying statistical analysis combined with expert guidance.Results:Handgrip strength, Five-time-repeated sit-to-stand, usual gait speed, and 3-meter-timed up and go test were selected for motor function assessment(factor loadings: 0.428, 0.767, 0.725, 0.841, respectively).The motor score was calculated by weighted sum of each indicator with the same weight.Through calculating, the motor score significantly decreased with ageing(60-64 years: 13.9, 65-69 years: 13.4, 70-74 years: 12.7, 75-79 years: 11.3, 80+ years: 9.1; F=89.469, P<0.001).Older adults with moderate activities had higher scores than those without moderate activities(13.6 and 12.4, respectively; t=-8.003, P<0.001). Conclusions:A method for motor function assessment in older adults was established, which can be used in the early recognition of motor function impairment, such as sarcopenia, fall, and disability.
