AIM: To investigate the changes of first order kernel ( FOK ) and second order kernel ( SOK ) of multifocal electroretinogram( mf-ERG) in detecting the early retinal abnormalities in sub-clinical stage of diabetic retinopathy. ·METHODS: Totally 32 patients ( 58 eyes ) with type 2 diabetes mellitus ( DM ) without apparent diabetic retinopathy( DR) were detected by mf-ERG, from June 2014 to May 2015. Thirty cases ( 60 eyes ) of normal control group had also been taken to compare the difference of the amplitude and latency between the two groups. ·RESULTS: Compared with the control group: there was no statistical difference in the FOK b-wave latency of the diabetic group, and the FOK b-wave amplitude was significantly decreased (t=3. 099, P=0. 012). The SOK b-wave latency in diabetes group was statistically delayed (t=2. 643, P=0. 025), and the SOK b-wave amplitude statistically decreased (t=4. 833, P<0. 01). There was no statistically difference in the a-wave latency and amplitude of FOK and SOK. The b-wave amplitude of FOK and SOK was negatively correlated with the course of the disease. However, the b-wave amplitude was not statistically correlated with the duration of diabetes mellitus. ·CONCLUSION: The function of the post-polar outer and inner retina detected by FOK and SOK had been damage even before retinopathy. The anomaly is mainly reflected by the decreasing amplitude of b-wave.

Objective To evaluate the nutritional risk screening for younger patients with stroke and to explore risk factors of malnutrition. Methods Younger patients with stroke were enrolled in a prospective way. The patients were evaluated by nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) at their admission for nutritional risk screening, and were divided into nutritional risk group and no nutritional risk group according to the evaluation results. Prealbumin less than 200 mg/L was defined as malnutrition. Demographic and baseline clinical characteristics of the patients were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine independent risk factors for malnutrition at the admission and the 14th day. Results (1) A total of 152 young stroke patients were enrolled, including 51 in nutritional risk group, 101 in no nutritional risk group, the rate of nutritional risk was 33.6%(51/152). (2) The rate of malnutrition at admission was 13.8%(21/152), the rate of malnutrition in nutritional risk group was 25.5%(13/51), and 7.9%(8/101)in no nutritional risk group on admission. While the rate of malnutrition was 32.2%(49/152), including the rate of malnutrition in nutritional risk group was 60.78%(31/51)and 17.8%(18/101)in no nutritional risk group was at the 14th day of admission. (3) Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age (from 36 to 45 years), sex, diabetes, hyperthyroidism were independent risk factors for malnutrition in younger patients with stroke. Recent history of surgery and smoking, stroke-associated pneumonia, post-stroke depression, swallowing disorder, sleep disorder, moderate and severe neurologic deficits were also risk factors for malnutrition. Conclusion The incidence of malnutrition in youngerpatients with stroke were higher, and earlier nutritional risk screening and nutritional support in these patients were urgent.

[Objective]To discuss the diagnosis and surgical management of lumbar degenerative juxtafacet joint cysts. [Methods]From June 2004 to June 2007,seven patients were diagnosed as degenerative juxtafacet joint cysts and were treated by surgery. The authors made a retrospective analysis on the clinical data of these 7 patients. Among these 7 patients,there were one as ligamentum flavum cyst and six as facet joint cysts. Five lesions were located at the L4、5 level and two were located at the L5S1 level. According to the preoperative lateral films and CT scan,segment instability were found in two patients. Fenestration decompression,resection of cyst and 1/3 medial articular process were performed on five patient without preoperative segment instability,while additional posterior fixation and posterolateral fusion were done to two patients with preoperative segment instability.The mean length of follow up were 14 months (range: 9~24 months ). The VAS score and ODI score were used for clinical outcome assessment.[Results]The pathological results confirmed the preoperative radiological diagnosis in all patients. Improvement were found in all patients,including completely recovery in five patients and significant relief of pain in other two patients.[Conclusion]Lumbar degenerative juxtafacet joint cysts has been proved to be a cause of low back pain. Preoperative CT scan and MRI are helpful in the diagnosis and the clinical outcome of surgery is satisfactory.
