Objective To observe the changes of the quality of life in type 2 diabetes accompanying subclinical atherosclerosis and explore the effect of diabetic macrovascular complications in the quality of life.Methods One hundred and thiry-six type 2 diabetes were measured carotid intima media thickness (IMT) and then divided into AS group(n =51) and CON group(n =85).Two groups were examined with Special of Quality of Life for Diabetes Mellitus (DSQL).Plasma glucose,plasma insulin,glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) as well as insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and body mass index (BMI) were observed.Results The scores of DSQL and all domains had obvious difference between AS group and control group(P ＜0.05 orP ＜0.01) ;Relative to the control group the AS group was significantly increased BMI,HbA1c levels,hsCRP levels.The DSQL was associated with IMT,BMI,HbA1c,hsCRP,HOMA-IR.Conclusion The diabetic macrovascular compliations might result in impaired quality of life,which is associated with hyperglycemia,insulin resistance,inflammation,and central obesity.Psychotherapy and health education are very important for the improvement the DSQL in type 2 diabetic accompanying subclinical atherosclerosis.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty has many advantages such as minimal trauma, simple mode of operation, rapid and correct therapeutic effect, high safety, and wide indications. Therefore it has been generally paid close attention and accepted. Percutaneous vertebroplasty has conspicuous curative effect, especially in vertebral compression fracture. Polymethyl methacrylate is the most used filling materials at present; There is not significant difference between unipedicular and bipedicular vertebroplasty; Using vertebral body venography and appropriate dense bone cement can reduce leakage of bone cement; Bolster for self-replacement can rebound vertebral body height, and balloon kyphoplasty and sky bone expander kyphoplasty can be avoided; In order to reduce refracture of vertebral body, anti-osteoporosis drugs should be used in the treatment of percutaneous vertebroplasty.

Objective To investigate the value of clinical characteristics in diagnosis of vocal fold paralysis (VFP) and arytenoid dislocation .Methods Eighty - eight patients of VFP and 27 patients of arytenoid dislocation were studied , by comparing the causes , laryngeal morphologic characteristics and laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) .Results The causes of 88 VFP patients included surgery (45 cases) ,neck trauma(2 cases) ,idiopathic causes(16 cases) ,infection(16 cases) ,and tumor invasion - related(9 cases) .Of the 27 arytenoid dislocation pa‐tients ,24 had a history of endotracheal intubation and the others had a history of gastric tube insertion .The vocal folds were mostly fixed at the paramedian position ,followed by the abducent position and the median position .No significant differences were found in laryngeal morphologic characteristics between the two groups ,including vocal fold shape , glottis vertical symmetry , mucosal waves , supraglottic compensation , glottis closure and arytenoid movement .The LEMG of VFP patients appeared as denervation patterns ,reinnervation potentials ,or electrical si‐lence ;the recruitment patterns appeared as mix or simple patterns ;the evoked potentials were absent .Of the VFP patients ,54 cases(61 .36% % )were found synkinesis of involved posterior cricoarytenoid and two of them also in ‐volved thyroatenoid .The patients with synkinesis had lower percentage of vocal fold bowing and higher percentage of glottic vertical asymmetry compared to the ones without synkinesis .Of the VFP patients whose cause was surgery or neck trauma ,the median - position fixed vocal folds were mostly observed in the patients with duration of less than 1 month or with synkinesis .Of the 27 arytenoid dislocation patients ,20(74 .07% )showed normal LEMG pat‐terns and 7(25 .93% )showed apparent LEMG abnormality on the affected side .Conclusion The causes of vocal fold paralysis and arytenoid dislocation are different .Laryngeal morphologic characteristics have limitations in distinguis‐hing vocal fold paralysis from arytenoid dislocation .The shape and position of involved vocal folds of the VFP pa‐tients are correlated with duration ,nerve regeneration and synkinesis .

Objective To study the imaging features of Scheuermann disease and compare the value of MRI, X-Ray and CT images in diagnosis of this disease. Methods The images of 14 Scheuermann disease patients were analyzed retrospectively. Results The pathological changed vertebraes have wedge-shaped changes in different degree. The edges of the vertebraes manifest roughness and have become step-shaped, or Schmorl′s nodes were demonstrated. Conclusion The multi-vertebraes wedge-shaped changes and the Schmorl′s nodes are the main imaging features of Scheuermann disease. The pathological change occurs in the different spine segments, and the imaging features are not completely same. X-Ray and MRI images are more important in diagnosis of this disease. MRI Multi-direction imaging displays clearly the Schmorl′s nodes, marrow dropsy, the fat accumulation and the intervertebral disc denaturation. What′s more important is that MRI has its own superiority in the differential diagnosis of this disease.

Objective To study the protective effect of total flavones of hawthorn leaf (TFHL) on renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods A model of renal I/R was made by clamping double renal pedical for 60 min and reperfusion for 24 h.TFHL (30 or 60 mg/kg) was injected before clamping renal ischemia. The level of serum urea nitrogen(BUN), serum creatinine(Scr), tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?),interleukin-1(IL-1) in serum were detected after reperfusion for 1 and 24 h,respectively,and the level of malonaldehyde (MDA) and erythrocuprein (SOD) in renal tissues were measured after reperfusion for 24 h.Results TFHL significantly decreased the level of BUN and Scr, decreased the concentration of TNF-? and IL-1 in serum. Pretreatment with TFHL also enhanced the activity of SOD reduced the concentration of MDA in renal after I/R.Conclusions TFHL has significantly protective effect on renal I/R and markedly improve the renal function. The mec-hanisms are associated with decreasing the lipid peroxidation reaction and reducing the level of TNF-? and IL-1.

Objective To explore the method for early diagnosis of masked polycythemia vera (mPV) by comparing and analyzing the features of mPV and polycythemia vera (PV). Methods A total of 200 newly diagnosed male patients were collected based on diagnostic criteria, including 100 cases of PV and 100 cases of mPV. Erythropoietin (EPO), neutrophil alkaline phosphatase (NAP) score, bone marrow biopsy (BMB), and JAK2 V617F mutation were evaluated in all cases. After 6 months, hemoglobin (Hb) and JAK2 V617F mutation load were detected in patients without special treatment in two groups during follow-up. Results EPO, NAP score, BMB hematopoietic volume and the number of megakaryocyte had no statistical differences between PV group and mPV group [(3.4 ± 0.7) U/ml vs. (3.2±0.6) U/ml, (276±20) score vs. (278±21) score, (78±10) % vs. (76±9) %, (53±6) vs. (51±5), respectively], while JAK2 V617F mutation load in PV group was higher than that in mPV group[(89.2±9.4) % vs. (78.1±8.6) %, P<0.05]. In mPV patients without special treatment, Hb ≥185 g/L was found in 37 patients after 6 months, and the level of Hb and JAK2 V617F mutation load in these 37 patients reached (194±8) g/L and (90.7±9.1) %, respectively. Conclusions There is no significant difference in EPO, NAP score and BMB between PV and mPV, but the JAK2 V617F mutation load is different. In mPV patients without special treatment, Hb level can reach the typical PV diagnostic criteria after 6 months, meanwhile, JAK2 V617F mutation load is also increased.
