Objective To investigate sexual dysfunction and its rehabilitation,as well as quality of life in patients after spinal cord injury(SCI). Methods Sixty-two male patients with SCl were assessed with a 5-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function(IIEF-5),an especially-designed sexual function scale,and the World Health Organization's quality of life questionnaire(WHO-QOL).Their results were compared with those of 146 other patients with work injuries hospitalized in the same period.Results 77.9% of 62 cases had moderate to severe erectile dysfunction.though more than half of them remained sexually active.52.7% had attempted sexual intercourse,but only 19.5% succeeded,and only 14.5% obtained sexual satisfaction.69.1% of the 62 patients had psychological symptoms,and 27.27% had family problems.Their average score on the WHO-QOL was significantly lower than that of the other disabled workers.There were significant differences between the two groups with regard to quality of life.especially in the physiological and social relationships domains. Conclusion Most male patients with SCI had sexual dysfunction and decreased quality of life.Sexual dysfunction rehabilitation of SCI patients needs urgent strengthening.

Objective:To observe the hemodynamic change and inhibitory effect on stress response of oxycodone during induction, maintenance and resuscitation period of general anesthesia in patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery.Methods:60 patients with general anesthesia undergoing elective gastric cancer from March 2018-March 2019 in No.904 Hospital were selected. According to the random number table method, they were randomly divided into two groups ( n=30): Oxycodone group (group O) and Fentanyl group (group F). The anesthesia was induced by intravenous oxycodone 0.3 mg/kg (group O) or fentanyl 3 μg/kg (group F), propofol 2 mg/kg and cisatracurium 0.25 mg/kg. Oxycodone (group O) or fentanyl (group F) with sevoflurane were used for maintenance of general anesthesia. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded before anesthesia induction (T 0), immediately intubation (T 1), 1 min (T 2) and 5 min (T 3) after intubation, immediately skin incision (T 4), surgery for 1 h (T 5), the end of operation (T 6) and 1 min (T 7) and 5 min (T 8) after extubation. The concentration of glucose (Glu), cortisol (Cor), epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) were detected in time T 0,T 2, T 4,T 5 and T 7. The time of extubation and the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores after extubation and 30 min after entering postanesthesia care unit (PACU) were recorded. The incidence of cough during induction, dysphoria during extubation and the adverse effects such as nausea, vomit and respiratory depression during PACU were also observed. Results:There were no significant difference between two groups in MAP and HR at the time point from T 0 to T 8 ( P>0.05); there were no significant difference about concentrations of Glu, Cor, E and NE at the time point of T 0,T 2,T 4,T 5 and T 7 ( P>0.05). Extubation time and VAS scores of 30 min after entering PACU in group O were significantly lower than those of group F ( P<0.05). Meanwhile, the incidences of cough during induction, dysphoria during extubation and respiratory depression in group O were significantly lower than in group F ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of nausea and vomiting ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Oxycodone can be safely and effectively used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in gastric cancer surgery, inhibit intraoperative stress response, and improve the quality of recovery period.

A cross-sectional survey of 3589 adolescents was conducted in three cities from different typical geographical zones of Guangdong province. The median urinary iodine concentrations (MUI) of adolescents in Nanxiong, Guangzhou and Maoming were 286.6,204.1 and 166.0μ/L, respectively. The MUI of all these adolescents Was 231.7μg/L, which was slightly higher than the current World Health Organization recommendation.

Objective To analyze the relationship between obesity and arterial stiffness among population of different glucose tolerance status. Methods A cross-sectional study recruited the population aged 40 years or older from ShiJingShan district in Beijing. 9080 subjects were included by measured weight, waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), waist/hip ratio (WHR) and WC/height ratio (WHtR) and hemodynamic indexes and the aortic stiffness (using brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV). They were divided into 3 groups based on the results of OGTT and diabetes history: normal glucose tolerance group ( NGT group) ,impaired glucose regulation group ( IGR group) and diabetes mellitus group ( DM group) . The association between baPWV and different obese indexes was analyzed by multi-ple linear regression. Results According to the criterion of WC, WHR and WHtR, baPWV of central obesity group was significantly higher than the normal group(P<0. 01). There was no statistically significant differences based on BMI in DM group(P>0. 05), but it was of sta-tistically significant differences in NGT group and IGR group. Central obese indexes( WC、WHR、WHtR) showed a positive correlation to PWV in the studied groups(P<0. 05). BMI was only positively correlated with baPWV in NGT group, there was no significant correlation in IGR and DM group(P>0. 05). After adjusting for age, gender and cardiovascular risk factors, the multiple regression analysis found that for every 0. 1 point increase in WHR and WHtR, the PWV increased 40. 6 cm/s and 55. 3cm/s respectively. Conclusion There is a positive correlation between central obese indexes (WC、WHR、WHtR) and arterial stiffness, and the central obese indexes correlated with arterial stiffness better than BMI.

Objective:To explore the influence of hypophosphatemia on weaning from mechanical ventilation.Methods:An observational study was conducted. The medical records of 30 mechanical ventilated patients with hypophosphatemia admitted to intensive care unit of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2018 to August 2020 were analyzed; another 60 mechanical ventilated patients with normophosphatemia around the same time were enrolled as controls by 1∶2 case-control matching based on gender, age, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score. And then the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, times of spontaneous breathing trial (SBT), the diaphragmatic ultrasonography movement indexes, and outcome of weaning and prognosis during hospitalization were compared between the two groups. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was plotted to calculate the areas under ROC curve (AUC) and cut-off values of serum phosphorus for successful weaning and hospital survival. The correlations between the diaphragmatic ultrasonography movement indexes and serum phosphorus were analyzed by Pearson partial correlation analysis.Results:Compared with normophosphatemic group, the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation in hypophosphatemia group was significantly longer [days: 13.0 (7.0, 22.0) vs. 10.0 (5.5, 14.0), P < 0.05], and SBT attempts were more often [times: 3 (0, 5) vs. 1 (1, 2), P < 0.01], while the rate of successful weaning was lower (53.3% vs. 91.7%, P < 0.01), and the hospital mortality was higher (20.0% vs. 1.7%, P < 0.01). ROC curve analysis showed that serum phosphorus could predict successful weaning of mechanical ventilated patients, the AUC was 0.795, and the optimum cut-off value of serum phosphorus was 0.85 mmol/L with sensitivity of 73.2% and specificity of 84.2%. Serum phosphorus could predict hospital survival of mechanical ventilated patients, the AUC was 0.782, and the optimum cut-off value of serum phosphorus was 0.48 mmol/L with sensitivity of 81.9% and specificity of 85.7%. Compared with normophosphatemic group, diaphragm thickness at the end of inspiration (DTei), diaphragm thickness at the end of expiration (DTee), diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF), diaphragm excursion (DE) in hypophosphatemia group were all significantly decreased [DTei (cm): 0.19±0.07 vs. 0.27±0.08, DTee (cm): 0.14±0.05 vs. 0.19±0.06, DTF: (33.55±16.17)% vs. (45.04±18.66)%, DE (cm): 1.17±0.49 vs. 2.28±0.69, all P < 0.01]. Pearson partial correlation analysis showed that linear correlations were found between serum phosphorus and DTei, DTee, DTF, DE ( r values were 0.442, 0.351, 0.293, 0.628 respectively, all P < 0.01). Conclusions:Serum phosphorus may have correlation with the diaphragmatic ultrasonography movement indexes. Hypophosphatemia may impair the contractile properties of diaphragm, induce more SBT attempts and longer duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, and affect outcome of weaning and prognosis.
