Objective To explore the effect of salmon calcitonin on osteoporosis induced by spinal cord injury. Methods 100 patients with osteoporosis induced by spinal cord injury from September 2011 to September 2014 in our department were included. They were randomly divided into control group (n=50) and observation group (n=50). The control group received vitamin D3 only, while the observation group received vitamin D3 combined with salmon calcitonin on the basis of rehabilitation physiotherapy, for 6 months. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain was evaluated in different periods. The bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine and femoral neck, the parathyroid hormone (PTH), bone gla protein (BGP) and 1,25- dihydroxy vitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) were tested and recorded. Results The VAS score was lower in the observation group than in the control group 1, 2, 3 and 6 months after treatment (P<0.001). The BMD of lumbar spine and femoral neck was significantly higher, the PTH and BGP were significantly lower and the 1,25-(OH)2D3 was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group after treatment (P<0.001). Conclusion Combination of salmon calcitonin can effectively reduce the bone pain and improve the BMD in patients with osteoporosis induced by spinal cord injury.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of hearing aid combined with cognitive rehabilitation training in the treatment of dementia with hearing loss.Methods:Forty-six cases of dementia patients with hearing loss in Dalian Municipal Central Hospital Affiliated of Dalian Medical University from September 2019 to September 2020 were divided into two groups by random number table method. The treatment group received cognitive rehabilitation training assisted by sound amplifier, while the control group only received cognitive rehabilitation training for 7 weeks. Before and after treatment, questionnaires were used to evaluate the training effect of patients, including MMSE, HAMA, HAMD and ADL, and satisfaction questionnaire was used to evaluate the satisfaction of caregivers.Results:After treatment, the MMSE score of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group: (20.22 ± 3.38) scores vs. (19.89 ± 3.10) scores ( P<0.05), and HAMA and HAMD were significantly lower than those of the control group: (11.43 ± 5.07) scores vs. (11.83 ± 4.79) scores, (8.39±3.37) scores vs. (9.67 ± 5.34) scores ( P<0.05); there was no difference in activities of daily living between the treatment group and the control group ( P>0.05); the caregiver satisfaction of the treatment group was significantly improved, compared with that of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Hearing assisted cognitive training can improve the cognitive function of patients with hearing-impaired dementia, promote mental and emotional stability, and improve the feelings of caregivers; we emphasize the importance of hearing evaluation for the elderly with dementia, and the importance of cognitive rehabilitation training with hearing assistance.

Objective To retrieve and analyze the guidelines on diabetic foot offloading, and summarize the evidence of high quality guidelines, so as to provide reference for standardizing the offloading treatment of diabetic foot in China. MethodsThe clinical practice guidelines of diabetic foot in the major guideline networks, databases and professional association websites were retrieved by computer. Three researches evaluated the quality of the guidelines, and two researches extracted evidence from documents that met the quality criteria. ResultsA total of 7 guidelines were included, and 5 aspects, 30 recommendations were extracted, including comprehensive treatment, the principle of offloading, offloading of the plantar ulcer, offloading of the non-plantar ulcer, and the gap between the evidence and practice. ConclusionsThis study summarize the best evidence of the diabetic foot offloading therapy, and provides a reference for medical institution to develop appropriate procedures and standardize the practice of diabetic foot offloading therapy. Most of the interventions recommended in the guidelines come from relatively developed countries, but their application may be limited in less developed countries or regions. Therefore, it is urgent to explore offloading methods which have positive offloading effect as well as conform to our national conditions, and apply them to clinical practice gradually in order to improve the therapeutic effect of diabetic foot and improve prognosis.

Porcine deltacoronavirus(PDCoV),a newly discovered virus in recent years,can cause severe diarrhea,vomiting,dehydration and even death in piglets.S protein is an important structur-al protein of PDCoV,which determines the host or tissue tropism of the virus,and is an important target for the development of PDCoV vaccines and detection methods.In order to prepare mono-clonal antibody(MAb)against the S protein of PDCoV,the recombinant plasmid of S protein was constructed based on the extracellular domain sequence of S protein of PDCoV epidemic strain in China and transformed into DH10Bac competent cells.The recombinant bacmid was identified by blue-white spot screening and PCR.BALB/c mice were immunized with S protein,and the spleen cells of immunized mice were fused with myeloma cells.The positive hybridoma cells that secreted stable antibodies were screened by indirect ELISA and subcloning.Five hybridoma cell superna-tants(MAb)specifically recognizing S protein(2E5,4D5,5D10,2F7 and 5A9)were identified by Western blot and immunofluorescence assay(IFA).Subsequently,the neutralization test showed that three of the monoclonal antibodies(2E5,4D5 and 5D10)could neutralize the virus to varying degrees.The S protein was successfully expressed and 5 monoclonal antibodies that can stably se-crete and specifically bind to PDCoV and S protein were prepared,which laid an important founda-tion for further research on the structure and function of S protein,the development of detection methods for PDCoV infection,and the prevention or treatment of PDCoV infection.

Objective: To explore the relationship between monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) in peripheral blood of patients with pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) and their clinicopathological features and prognosis, and to investigate its clinical significance. Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out to analyze the complete case data of 80 patients with PSC from October 2010 to April 2017 in Tianjin Cancer Hospital (monocyte and lymphocyte counts of peripheral blood, clinicopathological features, and survival follow-up). The receiver operating curve (ROC) was used to determine the best cut-off value of MLR for the prediction of overall survival time (OS). The patients were divided into high MLR group and low MLR group. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate OS and draw survival curves. The Log-Rank test was used to compare the difference in OS between the two groups. The variables with statistical significance in univariate analysis were included into the COX risk regression model to verify and calculate thehazard ratio (HR)and 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Results: The absolute median values of monocytes and lymphocytes were 0.63×109/L and 1.84×109/L, respectively. The best cut-off value of MLR is 0.44. Univariate analysis shows that MLR≥0.44 (P<0.01), no radical surgery (P<0.01), clinical stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ (P<0.01), tumor maximal diameter > 3 cm (P<0.01), and LDH>247 U /L (P<0.01) are the poor prognostic factors affecting overall survival. Multivariate analysis shows that MLR≥0.44（HR=3.554; 95%CI=1.671-6.125; P<0.01), and clinical stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ（HR=3.275; 95%CI=2.047-9.399; P<0.01) are the independent risk factors for the overall survival of PSC, and radical surgery is an independent protective factor affecting the overall survival of PSC（HR=0.360; 95%CI=0.195-0.848; P<0.01). Conclusion: High MLR is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with PSC.
