ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) in elderly patients. MethodsOne hundred and fifty-two elderly male CKD patients for experimental group and 158 elderly male for control group were recruited. Demographic data and vascular risk factors were recorded. White matter lesion (WML) was semi-quantitatively assessed by cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and lacunar infarction (LI) was also calculated. Results(1) The prevalenees of hypertentsion and diabetes mellitus were higher in elderly CKD patients than those in control group (30. 9% vs. 19.0%, 23.7%vs. 14.6%;both P~0. 05). (2) The percentages of grade 2 and grade 3 WMLs were higher in elderly CKD patients than those in control group (34.9% vs. 24.1%, 25.7% vs. 16.5%;both P<0.05). Prevalence of LI was higher in elderly CKD patients than that in control group (45.4% vs.25.3% ,X2= 13. 70, P<0. 05). The similar Resultswere also obtained except for control subjects with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. (3) The logistic regression analysis showed that age, hypertension and low glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were closely associated with SVD in elderly CKD patients. ConclusionsHypertention and diabetes mellitus are risk factors for CKD in elderly patients. SVD is associated with CKD, and age, hypertension and low GFR may be risk factors for SVD in elderly CKD patients.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of traditional Chinese medical syndrome types of fulminant and epidemic dengue fever patients admitted in Guangzhou and Xishuang banna in the year of 2013,and to ex plore the differences of etiology and pathogenesis, illness, and treatment for the patients in the two regions. Methods We collected the clinical data of 78 cases receiving integrative Chinese and western medicine from 255 patients admitted in Guangzhou Municipal Eighth People’s Hospital, and the clinical data of 39 cases receiving integrative Chinese and western medicine from 120 patients admitted in the People’s Hospital of Xishuangbanna Dai Nationality Autonomous Prefecture in the year of 2013. The traditional Chinese medical syndrome types and the syndrome scores of the total of 117 cases were investigated. The method of phenology was used for the analysis of epidemic time and epidemic region of dengue fever, and the theory of defense-qi-nutrient-blood syndrome differentiation of seasonal febrile diseases was used for the analysis of etiology and pathogenesis of dengue fever. Results ( 1) Dengue fever was epidemic in the first ten days of July and in the middle ten days of November of the year 2013 in Guangzhou region, and was epidemic in the middle ten days of August and the first ten days of October in Xishuangbanna region. The epidemicity of dengue fever in Guangzhou covered the end of summer and the whole autumn, and then disappeared before the coming of winter. In Xishuangbanna , the epidemicity of dengue fever was obvious in autumn, and disappeared in late autumn. ( 2) In the two hospitals, dengue fever patients were dominated by the syndromes of excessive heat in both Qifen and Xuefen, blood stasis blended with toxicity, excessive heat in Qifen, and lingering pathogens in order. (3) Before treatment, the scores of fever were higher in patients of Xishuangbanna hospital than those in patients of Guangzhou Eighth People’s Hospital ( P<0.01) . After treatment for 3 days, fever scores were improved in both hospitals (P<0.05 or P<0.01), but the differences between the two hospitals were insignificant (P>0.05) . After treatment for 6 days, fever disappeared in patients of both hospitals. (4) Before treatment, the scores of syndromes were higher in patients of Xishuangbanna hospital than those in patients of Guangzhou Eighth People’s Hospital ( P<0.05) . After treatment for 3 days, syndorme scores were improved in both hospitals ( P<0.01) , but the syndrome scores were higher in Xishuangbanna hospital than those in patients of Guangzhou Eighth People’s Hospital. After treatment for 6 days, syndrome scores were much improved in patients of both hospitals compared with those after treatment for 3 days (P<0.01) . Conclusion In dengue fever patients admitted in Guangzhou and Xishuangbanna region, the syndrome of excessive heat in both Qifen and Xuefen is the leading type, and then comes blood stasis blended with toxicity. The illness state of patients in Guangzhou region is milder than that of the patients in Xishuangbanna region, the time for symptom relief is about one week, and similar therapeutic effect can be achieved in the two regions .

retrospective cohort study was adopted.The clinical data of 343 patients with intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who were admitted to the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital of the Second Military Medical University between February 2008 and January 2010 were collected.All the patients received the detailed medical history collection,physical examination,laboratory and imaging examinations after admission,and then hepatectomy was performed according to the results of above examinations.Research methods:(1) patients were allocated into the B1,B2 and B3/4 groups based on the Bolondi's substaging model,and the prognostic analyses among groups were conducted.(2) The related factors affecting the prognosis of patients in the B1 and B2 groups were analyzed.(3) The patients in the B1 and B2 groups were allocated into the 4 groups [patients of B1 group with negative microvascular invasion (MVI) were divided in the M1 group,patients of B1 group with positive MVI in the M2 group,patients of B2 group with negative MVI in the M3 group and patients of B2 group with positive MVI in the M4 group] according to the situations of MVI,and stratified analysis was conducted.Observation indicators:basic clinical and pathological features and survival of patients in the B1,B2 and B3/4 groups were observed.Risk factors analysis affecting the prognosis of patients and stratified analysis of MVI in the B1 and B2 groups were conducted.All the patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview up to February 2014,and the abdominal ultrasound,liver function and serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) tests was performed once every 3 months within 2 years postoperatively and once every 6 months after 2 years postoperatively.The continuous variables and categorical variables were respectively represented as M(Qn) and percentage.The comparisons of continuous variables and categorical variables among groups were analyzed by ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test and chi-square test or Fisher exact probability,respectively,and one-way ordinal categorical variables were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test.The survival curve was drawn using the KaplanMeier method.The univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were done using the Log-rank test and COX regression model.Results (1) The basic clinical pathological features:of 343 patients with HCC,143,183 and 17 patients (12 in the B3 substaging and 5 in the B4 substaging) were respectively allocated into the B1,B2 and B3/4 groups.There were statistically significant differences in the age,peritoneal effusion,total bilirubin (TBil),albumin (Alb),alanine transaminase (ALT),prothrombin time (PT),platelet (PLT),alpha-fetoprotein (AFP),extent of liver resection,surgical margin ivasion,tumor diameter,number of tumor,Edmondson-Steiner grade,Up-to-7 score,Up-to-7 standard and Child-pugh score among the 3 groups (F =3.377,NA,11.245,32.616,6.884,11.564,33.100,12.902,NA,NA,239.089,10.357,x2=8.906,F =251.508,x2 =343.000,106.790,P < 0.05).(2) Survival of patients:all the patients were followed up for 2.8-70.8 months with a median time of 38.7 months.The 1-,3-,5-year survival rates and median survival time in the B1,B2 and B3/4 groups were 85.8%,72.8%,52.9% and 63.2%,47.5%,16.8% and 45.5%,30.4%,8.4% and 55.1 months,35.1 months,12.2 months,respectively,showing a statistically significant difference (x2 =22.800,P < 0.05).(3) Risk factors analysis:the results of univariate analysis showed that the peritoneal effusion,Alb,Hb,AFP,esophagogastric varices,surgical margin invasion,tumor diameter,MVI and Edmondson-Steiner grade were related risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with HCC after hepatectomy [HR =2.04,2.46,2.50,1.78,1.55,3.54,1.71,1.76,1.69,95% confidence interval (CI):1.13-3.69,1.20-5.02,1.51-4.15,1.29-2.45,1.06-2.25,1.65-7.61,1.23-2.38,1.23-2.51,1.08-2.64,P<0.05].The results of multivariate analysis showed that the Alb < 35 g/L,Alb < low limit of normal,tumor invading to surgical margin,tumor diameter > 5 cm and positive MVI were independent risk factors affecting the overall survival of patients with HCC after hepatectomy (HR =2.82,2.16,2.93,1.48,1.53,95% CI:1.37-5.80,1.27-3.69,1.33-6.44,1.05-2.09,1.06-2.22,P<0.05).(4) There were 61,82,57 and 126 patients in the M1,M2,M3 and M4 groups,and M2 and M3 groups were merged into the M2/3 group because of being similar survival situations of patients.The 1-,3-,5-year survival rates and median survival time in the M1,M2/3,and M4 groups were 90.0%,83.2%,67.7% and 68.8%,59.9%,41.6% and 52.7%,42.1%,23.6% and 69.0 months,49.2 months,24.9 months,respectively,with a statistically significant difference among the 3 groups(x2=20.200,P < 0.05).Conclusions The Bolondi substaging model produces an optimal survival prediction for patients in intermediate stage of BCLC after hepatectomy.The patients in the B1 and B2 substaging have better long-term survival outcomes after hepatectomy.
