Objective To analyze the safety of blood transfusion in hospitalized senile patients,and to prevent or reduce adverse transfusion reactions. Methods The blood transfusion information of patients over the age of 60 years in our hospital from January 2009 to December 2011 were retrospective analyzed. The data of pre-storage type of autologous blood transfusion for elective surgery were also discussed. Results Among 3549 cases of elderly patients,there were totally 23877 times of allogeneic transfusion and 84 cases with blood transfusion adverse reactions of heating or allergic reactions.The adverse reaction rates occured most in the infusion of fresh frozen plasma (0.55%).There was no hemolytic reaction,and transfusion adverse reactions occarred during stored blood autotransfusion. Conclusions Medical institutions should set the scientific and rational principle of blood use and select the appropriate blood components to reduce transfusion adverse events in the elderly patients. The autologous blood transfusion in the elderly patients should be actively pursued.

Objective:To evaluate the radiologic and clinical outcomes of supramalleolar dome osteotomy in the treatment of varus-type ankle arthritis.Methods:From June 2018 to December 2019, 13 patients with varus-type ankle arthritis underwent supramalleolar dome osteotomy at Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. Of them, 13 (5 males and 8 females) were included in the study. Their average age at surgery was 47.2 years (range, from 16 to 65 years). By the modified Takakura staging for arthritis, 3 cases were stage 2, 4 cases stage 3a and 6 cases stage 3b. Comparisons were made between preoperation and the last follow-up in ankle-hindfoot score of American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), foot function index (FFI), visual analogue scale (VAS), Takakura staging, dorsal extension, plantar flexion, range of motion (ROM), tibial anterior surface angle (TAS), tibial lateral surface angle (TLS), and talar tilt (TT).Results:This cohort were followed up for 12 to 29 months (average, 17.2 months). At the last follow-up, AOFAS score (86.5±8.0), FFI (14.5±1.6), VAS score (1.5±1.0), Takakura staging (2.7±1.3), ROM (39.4°±8.0°), TAS (92.4°±6.0°), TT (3.7°±4.4°) were significantly improved than the preoperative values (68.3±14.4, 43.7±3.0, 4.2±1.4, 3.2±0.8, 43.3°±7.6°, 78.2°±8.3° and 7.0°±5.1°), and dorsal extension (10.9°±4.4°) was significantly smaller than the preoperative value (13.6°±5.1°) (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences between preoperation and the last follow-up in plantar flexion (29.7°±4.6° versus 28.5°±5.2°) or TLS (77.8°±4.5° versus 78.1°±5.3°) ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Supramalleolar dome osteotomy has shown promising short-term clinical efficacy in the treatment of varus-type ankle arthritis. It can significantly relieve pain, improve function, substantially correct deformity and retard progression of arthritis, but it may affect dorsal extension.

Objective Present study aimed to characterize the alteration of cortical thickness in first-episode, never-medicated, adult patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), and explore whether such deficits were related with their disease duration and clinical symptom severity. Methods Thirty-seven adult MDD patients were recruited from March 2013 to August 2015 as patient group, and 41 healthy volunteers were as control group. All the patients underwent three-dimensional spoiled gradient recalled (3D-SPGR) sequences, and the images were acquired. Constructions of the cortical surface were developed from 3D-SPGR images using FreeSurfer software, and the thickness of the entire cortex was measured according to the automated surface reconstruction, transformation, and high-resolution inter-subject alignment procedures. Finally, cortical thickness was compared between the two groups, and the relativity between clinical symptom severity, disease progression and clinical scores were analyzed using the General Linear Model (GLM). Results Our results revealed a significant increase in cortical thickness(P<0.05, false discovery rate corrected) in the left anterior and middle cingulate cortex, bilateral precentral cortex, left paracentral cortex, bilateral superior parietal cortex, left temporal pole, and right lateral occipital cortex (cortical thickness 1.89-2.87 mm, cortical volume 34-384 mm2, P<0.05) in MDD patients compared to healthy controls, while no reversed alternation was found. In addition, clinical symptom severity and disease progression showed no correlation with the cortical thickness abnormalities in MDD group(P>0.05). Conclusion Excluding the impact of treatment, our study showed that the cortical thickness change was mainly located in the prefrontal-limbic system in the in early course of MDD.

[Summary] The high-risk subjects of type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM) in normal glucose tolerance ( NGT) were screened. The subjects with NGT at baseline were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups according to the diagnostic threshold of insulin area under the curve ( AUCINS ) 108. 43 mU/L. The incidence of prediabetes and/or T2DM was significantly increased in high risk group in comparison with low risk group ( 29. 41 vs 2. 21%, P<0. 01). The result suggests that the diagnosis threshold for AUCINS≥108. 43 mU/L can be used to screen the high-risk subjects of T2DM in NGT.
10.Role of transumbilical single port laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of chronic intractable constipation.
Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery 2016;19(12):1348-1350
With the development of laparoscopic technique, single port laparoscopic technique application is more and more common, further achieving the ideal effect without abdominal scar. Efficacy of colectomy by transumbilical single port laparoscopic surgery in treating patients with chronic intractable constipation was satisfactory in our hospital during the past two years. This paper mainly introduces the role and development of single port laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of chronic intractable constipation. In order to form the operation triangle as possible, and avoid the "apparatus fighting" between devices, incision protection device and rubber glove were used to make the multi-channel single incision puncture device. Advantages of this device can provide the surgeon with greater space to operate and more convenient operation, but owing to the poor fixation of rubber gloves and the absence of incumbent pivot in this devices, the proficiency of the camera holder is required in order to ensure a clear and stable vision. In the future, with the development of economy and equipment, single port laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of chronic intractable constipation will be used more widely.
