Objective To analyze risk factors for diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in inpatients with type 2 diabetes.Methods A total of 930 inpatients with type 2 diabetes were enrolled in the study and grouped according to different levels of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),albuminuria,and diabetic retinopathy.Logistic regression analysis was adopted to explore the risk factors for DKD in inpatients with type 2 diabetes.Results (1) The prevalence of albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was increased with declining eGFR (P ＜ 0.05).(2) The prevalences of DKD and non-diabetic renal disease (NDRD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were 22.26％ and 8.92％,respectively.Compared with patients with NDRD,patients with DKD had longer diabetic duration,higher levels of systolic blood pressure,serum creatinine,and urinary albumin excretion,and lower levels of hemoglobin[(125.40 ± 21.95 vs 138.18 ± 19.67) g/L],serum albumin[(37.45 ± 5.54 vs 40.55 ± 3.55) g/L],and eGFR[(89.66 (59.10-108.25) vs 103.15 (85.39-114.88) ml · min-1 · (1.73 m2)-1,all P＜0.05].(3) Logistic regression analysis showed that age,diabetic duration,systolic blood pressure,serum uric acid,diabetic retinopathy,and hypertension are the independent risk factors for diabetic kidney disease in inpatients with type 2 diabetes,while serum albumin was the protective factor (all P＜0.01).Conclusions A variety of clinic risk factors were associated with DKD.Better control of blood pressure,serum uric acid,and hypoalbuminemia should be performed to delay the progress of DKD.

Objective To investigate the distribution and severity of cerebral artery stenosis and the prognosis in elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction using digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Methods The 432 elderly patients with acute cerebral ischemia infarction underwent DSA,and they were divided into two groups: elderly group (n= 320) and non-elderly group (n= 112). The characteristics of distribution and severity of cerebral artery stenosis, the relationship between artery stenosis and relative risk factors, and the prognosis of acute cerebral infarction were analyzed.Results In elderly group, 270 cases (84.3%) had intra- and extra- cranial artery stenosis, of which 98 patients (30.6%) with pure extracranial arterial stenosis, 132 patients (41.3%) with combined extra- and intra-cranial artery stenosis. They were both significantly higher than the corresponding data in non-elderly group [23 cases (20.5%) and 28 cases (25%), P＜0.05 and 0.01]. The prevalences of moderate and severe cerebral artery stenosises were higher in elderly group than in nonelderly group [224 locations (52.1%) vs. 51 locations (40.8%), P＜0. 05]. The number of patients with previous history of cerebrovascular disease was much more and the prognosis was much worse in elderly group than in non-elderly group (both P＜0.05), Conclusions The elderly patients with cerebral infarction have severer cerebral artery stenosis, increased proportion of multivessel disease and poor prognosis. So it is very important to take aggressive treatment as soon as possible, and to make secondary prevention and effective rehabilitation so as to improve their prognosis.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in first-degree relatives of patients with affective disorders,and to evaluate the risk of AD in first-degree relatives of the patients with affective disorders.Methods Patients with affective disorders meeting DSM-Ⅳ-TR criteria (affective disorders group) and their healthy spouses (conrol group) were recruited in this study (n=109 each).The first-degree relatives inclusion criteria were biological relatives of both probands aged over 55 years.Subjects were investigated by neuropsychological assessment,imaging and clinical examinations,and were diagnosed as AD according to the criteria of the United States of America neuropathy language disorders and stroke research institute and Alzheimer's disease and Related Disorders Association (NINCDS-ADRDA).Results 284 first-degree biological relatives of affective disorders patients and 274 first-degree relatives of control group were selected.There were no statistically significant differences in demographic characteristics of the first-degree relatives between the two groups.The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease in the first-degree relatives had a significant difference between affective disorders group and control group [10.6％ (30/284) vs.4.4％ (12/ 274),x2=7.47,P=0.006].The prevalence of AD in the first-degree relatives was higher in bipolar disorder and depressive disorder patients than in control group [11.2％ (14/125) vs.4.4％(12/274),20.0％ (15/75) vs.4.4％(12/274),x2=6.80,20.56,OR=2.60,4.63,both P＜0.05],while there was no significant difference in the prevalence of AD in the first-degree relatives between mania patients and control group [1.1％ (1/87) vs.4.4％ (12/274),x2 =1.99,P＞0.05].Conclusions There is a high risk for Alzheimer' s disease in first-degree relatives of patients with affective disorders,particularly in first-degree relatives of patients with depression and bipolar disorders.

Objective To explore the influence of studying in the elderly university on the cognitive function for elderly. Methods Elderly university group (EUG) was consised of 105 subjects aged ≥60 who studied in the elderly university for one year. Controlled group(CG) was consisted of 105 elderly over 60 years of age who were siblings for subjects and would not studied in elderly university. Meanwhile, it was excluded if they were working. Two groups were excluded depression patients before study. The assessment tools were composed of Center for epidemiological survey of depression scale (CES-D), activity of daily living scale(ADL), mini-mental state examination (MMSE)and Wechsler's adult intelligence scale(WAIS). There were no significant statistics difference in scales of CES-D, ADL, MMSE and WAIS between two groups. Results There were no significant statistics difference of CES-D, ADL and MMSE between two groups after a year, however, the scales of ADL for controlled group after one year was higher than that before one year( t = 2. 191, P = 0.031 ). The MMSE mark shows one(0.95% )sustain cognitive impairment in EUG after one year; meanwhile there were six elders of (5.77%)come up to critical value of cognitive impairment in CG, the difference was almost statistical significance (P=0. 058 ). The WAIS mark demonstrated the total scale, VQ scale and PQ scale was declining. The score of total scale and perform scale of WAIS in CG were (110.3 ±8.2 )and (110.9 ±7.7) respectively. The score of total scale and perform scale of WAIS in CG were ( 107.8 ± 9.6 ) and ( 107.9 ± 13.4 ) respectively. There were significant difference between two groups(P=0. 044, P=0. 049). Furthermore, after one year the score of total scale of WAIS in CG( 110. 6 ± 7.4 ) outstanding be lower than that one year ago(P = 0. 022 ). There was no significant means for the total scale , verbal scale and perform scale of WAIS in CEG before and after year.Conclusion The program of continue education may play a positive role to stay or to improve the descending of the cognitive function in the elderly.

Objective To evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes and survivorship of fixed bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and the risk factor for failure.Methods Between June 1993 and April 2002,285 Chinese patients accepted TKA with cemented fixed bearing platform in our center,and 226 patients (246 knees) were successfully followed up.The age was (62.2±9.4) years at index operation.The survivorship of TKA and the related impact factor were analyzed.The hospital for special surgery (HSS) knee score,range of motion (ROM) and radiological results were studied at the final follow-up.Results One hundred and sixty patients (177 knees) were followed up longer than 10 years.Survival rate was 93.6％±1.7％ at 10years,92.8％±1.8％ at 15 years,with reoperation of the implant as the endpoint.Main reasons for failure were infection and aseptic loosening.There were no statistically difference in survival rate between posterior cruciate ligament retaining and posterior stabilizing group,patellar resurfacing and non-resurfacing,rheumatic arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) patients.Meanwhile,RA patients had lower longterm survivorship compared with OA patients.HSS knee score of 96 of the knees increased from 56.58±11.05 preoperatively to 92.29±10.95 postoperatively,and ROM increased from 84.8°±24.0° preoperatively to 99.7°±17.6° postoperatively.Totally,15 knees underwent revision surgery with the relating reason of infection for 10 knees,aseptic loosening for 3,and stiffness for 1 knee.Conclusion Fixed bearing TKA can fulfill satisfactory long-term clinical results,with more than 90％ of 10-year survival rate.The strategy for posterior cruciate ligament,patellar and preoperative diagnosis has no statistically impact on the long-term survivorship.

Objective To evaluate the midterm outcomes of autologous femoral head grafting in total hip arthroplasty for developmental dysplasia of the hip.Methods From October 2001 to December 2011,36 patients (36 hips) with developmental dysplasia of the hip were treated by total hip arthroplasty with autologous femoral head grafting,of which 34 cases were followed up for at least 30 months.There were 6 males and 28 females.16 patients were involved in the left hip and 18 in right hip.The average age at the operation was 51 years (range,28-68 years).According to Crowe classification for developmental dysplasia of the hip,12 were type Ⅱ,16 type Ⅲ,and 6 type Ⅳ.Cementless prostheses were used for all,but one patient,who received a hybrid prosthesis.Clinical outcomes were evaluated according to Harris score and complications.Components migration,periprosthetic bone changes,the polyethylene wear rate were measured radiologically.Components position and bone healing were assessed in the anteriorposterior and lateral X-ray of the hips.Results Thirty-four patients (34 hips) were followed up for an average duration of 64.1 months (range,31-153 months).The average Harris score was 35.4 (range,23-56) preoperatively,and was 89 (range,82-95) at the latest follow-up.Twenty-eight were classified as excellent,and 6 were good,and the excellent and good rate was 100％.10 cases presented with bone absorption 2-8 months postoperatively.Four patients suffered from dislocation after surgery.All the cases were treated successfully with close reduction,except one with redislocation.Close reduction was performed for this case,and no dislocation occurred again.One patient had periprosthetic fracture due to a fall and open reduction and plate fixation was performed.The fracture was healed at 1 year follow-up,with good position of the implants.Another patient had hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage 1 year after the surgery,who was treated by conservative treatment and had hemiplegia and apraxia of the surgical hip.Conclusion Autologous femoral head grafting for the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip has a satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes at an average of five-year follow-up.Bone graft absorption is a natural process of structural bone grafting.Joint dislocation is the most common complication of THA in developmental dysplasia of the hip.

BACKGROUND:Fast track surgery, also cal ed enhanced recovery after surgery, is a series of optimal measures adopted during the perioperative period on the basis of evidence-based medicine, to reduce the physical and mental trauma brought to the patient and accelerate their recovery. It has become the research focus of orthopedic clinic as the surgery and anesthesia skil s are improved a lot in recent years, especial y the articular surgery, which has been widely used in clinics. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the clinical study of the application of optimal measures in joint replacement surgery both at home and abroad in recent years. METHODS:The first author searched related articles in PubMed and Chinese Journal Ful-text Database from January 1997 to September 2016. The key words were“joint replacement, enhanced recovery after surgery, multi-mode analgesia, diet management, steroid hormones”. 81 articles were found at last and one monograph was included. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) We found that the recovery plan reduced the hospital stays of the patients from 4-12 days to 1-3 days, including pre-operative health education, shortening fasting and water-depriving duration before surgery, super-anesthesia before surgery and do not place catheter;adopting general anesthesia and appropriate adductor canal to relieve the pain, and stopping bleeding using tranexamic acid during operation;multi-mode analgesia, faster function exercise after anesthesia recovery, and drinking water in early phase after surgery during the perioperative period of joint replacement surgery conducted by the cooperation of surgeon, anesthetist, nurse and nutritionist. There were no significant improvements of postoperative complications rate and rehospitalization rate. (2) The research found that, enhanced recovery after surgery is suitable for most of the patients receiving joint replacement surgery, including those in advanced age, combined heart and lung disease before surgery, type 2 diabetes and smoking and drinking before surgery.

Objective To evaluate the additional efficacy of local anesthetic injection (LAI) as a part of multimodal anal?gesia in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with respect to pain, narcotic use, knee function and complications. Methods A multicenter randomized, controlled, double blind study was performed. A total of 101 patients undergoing unilateral TKA in two centers were randomly divided into injection group and control group. Injection group (50 cases) received local anes?thetic injection of ropivacaine (200 mg), fentanyl (1μg) and epinephrine (1∶1 000, 0.25 mg) in operation and control group (51 cas?es) did not. All patients received standardized general anesthesia and postoperative intravenous patient controlled analgesia (PCA). Preoperative baseline data, surgery?related conditions, postoperative pain (on a 0 to 10 scale), knee function, time of open?ing PCA, narcotic dosage in PCA and complications were compared respectively. Results The time of opening PCA in injection group (4-10 h, M=8 h) was longer than that in control group (2-5 h, M=4 h) (P<0.05). The 12 h, 24 h and total narcotic use of PCA in injection group (8.62±3.601 ml, 21.22±9.220 ml, 38.52±7.764 ml) was less than that in control group (18.43±9.671 ml, 35.30± 11.414 ml, 55.52±12.405 ml) (P<0.05). At post anesthesia care unit the mean VAS in injection group (2.40±1.927) was lower than that in control group (3.06 ± 2.073) (P<0.05). There was no difference in mean VAS at other time points, knee function, length of stay between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion LIA in TKA can relieve pain early after TKA, prolong the time of opening PCA and reduce narcotic use compared with patients without it. It is simple and safe to use.

Objective:To summarize the genotype and phenotype of epilepsy in patients with interferon regulatory factor 2 binding protein-like (IRF2BPL) gene variants.Methods:Data of 6 epilepsy patients with IRF2BPL gene variants seen from May 2017 to September 2020 in the Department of Pediatrics of Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively collected. The clinical characteristics and genetic test results were analyzed.Results:A total of 6 patients with IRF2BPL gene variants (1 boy and 5 girls) were identified. The age of seizure onset was from 3.5 to 7.0 months. Epileptic spasms were observed in 6 patients, tonic seizures and tonic-spasms were observed in 1 patient and focal seizure was observed in 1 patient. All 6 patients presented with developmental delay, 5 patients presented with hypotonia, and 2 patients presented with dysphagia. Microcephaly,nystagmus,chorea and athetosis were observed in 1 patient. The electroencephalography (EEG) showed slow background activity in 2 patients. Hypsarrhythmia was observed in all 6 patients. Focal epileptic discharges were observed in 2 patients. Epileptic spasms were monitored in all 6 patients. Focal seizure and tonic-spasm were monitored in 2 patients respectively. The brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed cerebral atrophy and dysplasia of the corpus callosum in 1 patient, delayed myelination in 2 patients and normal in 3 patients. Two patients had missense variants c.1280C>T/p.L474F and c.1420C>T/p.S427L, 3 patients had frameshift variants c.232delG/p.V78Sfs*73, c.244del/p.A82Pfs*70 and c.283-308del/p.Ala95Thrfs*29, 1 patient had non-frameshift deletion variant c.1453-c.1455delTTC/p.F485del, and all of the 6 cases had de novo variants. All patients were diagnosed with infantile spasms. The last follow-up age ranged from 1 year to 3.8 years. Four patients achieved seizure-free and 2 patients still had frequent seizures after the treatment with antiepileptic drugs (adrenocorticotropic hormone, topiramate, and vigabatrin).Conclusions:IRF2BPL gene variants are mainly de novo. The age of seizure onset is mainly in infancy, and epilepsy and developmental delay are the main clinical manifestations. Infantile spasm is the main phenotype, some patients have hypotonia and dysphagia. Cerebral atrophy can be observed in a few patients.

Many factors contribute to a successful total knee arthroplasty, and postoperative coronal lower limb alignment has always been a focus of joint surgeons. Previous researches have suggested that neutral alignment can bring higher prosthesis survival rate and better knee function. However, the theory has been challenged in recent years.In this article, the author introduces the axis, alignment and osteotomy of total knee arthroplasty briefly and reviews the studies on the neutral alignment and kinematic alignment of recent years in order to provide some advice for the clinical operation.
