Objective To observe the dynamic changes of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC)and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI)after percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention (PCI). Methods The level of VEGF before and after PCI in 50 cases with AMI were determined by fluorescence immunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay (ELISA),and the ratio of EPC in flood was checked by flow cytometry.Results The level of EPC was higher after PCI than before PCI [(4.15 ± 0.22)% vs.(0.59 ±0.02) %,P<0.01],and there were positive correlations between EPC and number of coronary artery disease (r=0.45,P < 0.05 ),coronary artery lesions ( r =0.76,P < 0.01 ),left ventricular enddiastolic diameter (r=0.68,P<0.01),ejection fraction (r=0.75,P<0.01).The VEGF levels after PCI was increased [(506± 120)μg/L vs.(204±98)μg/L,P<0.01],and its level was positively related with coronary lesions (r=0.66,P<0.01),left ventricular ejection fraction(r=0.90,P<0.01).There was association between rising rates of EPC and VEGF in a short time after PCI within 24 h period (r=0.56,P<0.01). Conclusions The clinical efficacy and prognosis can be assessed by the changes of VEGF level and EPC ratio before and after PCI operation in AM1 patients.

Objective:To analyze the changes of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3[25-(OH)D 3] expression in diabetic patients and its correlation with macrovascular complications. Methods:Two hundreddiabetic patients admitted to Cangzhou Central Hospital from February 2018 to November 2019 were divided into macrovascular complications group (87 cases) and without macrovascular complicationsgroup (113 cases). According to the degree of 25-(OH)D 3 deficiency, 32 cases were divided into 25-(OH)D 3 normal group, 94 cases were mild deficiency group and 74 cases were moderate and severe deficiency group. At the same time, 168 outpatients were selected as control group. The levels of serum 25-(OH)D 3 were compared between diabetic group and control group, macrovascular complications group and without macrovascular complications group, and the correlation between the level of serum 25-(OH)D 3 and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) was analyzed. Results:The level of serum 25-(OH)D 3 in diabetic group was lower than that in control group: (24.79 ± 3.02) μg/L vs. (39.18 ± 4.38) μg/L, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The level ofserum 25-(OH)D 3 in diabetic patients with macrovascular complications group was lower than that in without macrovascular complications group: (21.08 ± 2.64) μg/L vs. (27.65 ± 3.31) μg/L; while the IMT was higher than that without macrovascular complications group: (1.29 ± 0.13) mm vs. (0.93 ± 0.10) mm, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The incidence of macrovascular complications in 25-(OH)D 3 moderate and severe deficiency group was higher than that in 25-(OH)D 3 mild deficiency group and 25-(OH)D 3 normal group: 60.81%(45/74) vs. 40.43%(38/94), 12.50%(4/32), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 21.896, P<0.05). The level of serum 25-(OH)D 3 in patients with diabetic macrovascular complications was negatively correlated with IMT ( r = -0.513, P<0.05). Conclusions:The level of serum 25-(OH)D 3 in diabetic patients is decreased, and the change of its concentration is related to the occurrence of macrovascular complications.

Objective To analyze clinical characteristics and gene mutation of two patients diagnosed with P450 oxidoreductase deficiency(PORD). Methods Clinical data of 2 patients with PORD was collected from Ruijin hospital. POR gene mutation was analyzed by PCR-Sanger sequencing. A retrospective analysis of literatures concerning PORD was performed. Results Patient 1, female, 16 years old, with 46,XX karyotype, presented with anorectal anomalies, clitoral hypertrophy at birth and irregular menstruation; Patient 2, female, 32 years old, with 46,XX karyotype, showed irregular menstruation and infertility, both without obvious skeletal deformity. Genetic test of POR gene mutation revealed that patient 1 carried a homozygous missense mutation (R457H) and patient 2 carried a heterozygous mutation (R223X/ Y607C). The two mutations (R223X and Y607C) are reported for the first time in China. Conclusion P450 oxidoreductase deficiency which caused by mutations in POR gene has a variety of clinical manifestations, including abnormal steroid hormone synthesis with or without Antley-Bixler syndrome. The affirmative diagnosis should rely on steroid hormone measurement and POR gene analysis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of wrist arthroscopic transosseous footprint repair technique for treating triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injury.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 56 patients with TFCC injury admitted to Shenzhen Second People′s Hospital from July 2017 to September 2020, including 38 males and 18 females, aged 17-45 years [(33.5±3.6)years]. All patients had unilateral injury. Physical examination showed instability of the distal radioulnar joint, and MRI and arthroscopy confirmed deep ligament injury of TFCC. All patients underwent repair of deep insertion of the TFCC by using wrist arthroscopic transosseous footprint. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, wound healing and postoperative complications were recorded. The flexion and extension range of motion of the wrist, radial and ulnal deviation of the wrist, rotation range of motion of the forearm, patient related wrist evaluation (PRWE) score, modified Mayo wrist score, visual analogue scale (VAS), and percentage of grip strength between the affected side and unaffected side were compared preoperatively, at 3 months postoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-18 months [(13.4±5.2)months]. The operation time was (61.3±8.9)minutes, with the intraoperative blood loss of (2.4±1.2)ml. All wounds were healed by first intension. There was no wound infection or ulnar nerve irritation symptom after operation. Four patients experienced clicking on the ulnar side of the wrist in a short period of time post-operation, with spontaneous disappearance of the symptom. At 3 months postoperatively, the radial and ulnar deviation of the wrist was decreased from (52.5±5.9)° preoperatively to (42.6±5.9)°, and rotation range of motion of the forearm was decreased from (94.9±8.4)°preoperatively to (84.6±5.9)° (all P<0.01). The flexion and extension range of motion of the wrist was (93.1±17.4)° preoperatively, with insignificant difference compared with (89.4±5.8)° at 3 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). At 1 year postoperatively, the flexion and extension range of motion of the wrist, radial and ulnar deviation range of motion of the wrist, and rotation range of motion of the forearm were significantly increased to (101.3±13.6)°, (52.4±6.6)°, and (116.4±16.4)° when compared with those at 3 months postoperatively (all P<0.01). At 3 months postoperatively, the PRWE score was increased to (17.1±3.8)points from (10.6±3.2)points preoperatively ( P<0.01), modified Mayo wrist score was decreased to (70.3±6.7) points from (78.1±12.7)points preoperatively ( P<0.01), VAS was decreased to (4.4±1.7)points from (6.2±1.5)points preoperatively ( P>0.05), and percentage of grip strength between the affected side and unaffected side was decreased to (55.7±8.7)% from (74.4±15.2)% preoperatively ( P<0.01). At 1 year postoperatively, the PRWE score was increased to (2.0±0.9)points, modified Mayo wrist score was increased to (94.8±3.3)points, VAS was decreased to (2.1±1.1)points, and percentage of grip strength between the affected side and unaffected side was increased to (93.2±8.7)% when compared with those at 3 months postoperatively (all P<0.01). Conclusion:Wrist arthroscopic transosseous footprint repair technique can effectively treat deep ligament injury of TFCC, with advantages of significantly improving postoperative joint range of motion and functional score, relieving the pain on the ulnar side of the wrist and enhancing grip strength.
