ObjectiveTo investigate the features and methods of clinical diagnosis and treatment of elderly patients with acute calculous cholecystitis. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of elderly patients who were diagnosed with acute calculous cholecystitis in 451 Hospital of PLA from June 2012 to June 2015. After admission, all patients received fasting treatment, electrocardiographic monitoring, anti-infective therapy, and maintenance of body fluid balance and stable blood pressure and glucose. According to patients condition choose laparoscopic cholecystectomy open cholecystectomy, open cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration. ResultsA total of 129 patients were enrolled; among these patients, 119 had acute calculous cholecystitis, 2 had gallstones with adenomatous hyperplasia of the gallbladder mucosa, 6 had pyogenic cholecystitis, and 2 had gallbladder gangrene. Among the patients enrolled, 52 were complicated by at least one internal disease. Among them, 67 underwent emergency surgery since there were no significant improvements in symptoms, and 62 showed relief of symptoms and underwent surgical treatment at other times. Of all patients, 108 underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 9 underwent laparoscopy and were converted to open cholecystectomy, and 9 underwent open cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration. All the surgeries were successful and all the patients were cured and discharged. There were no deaths. ConclusionElderly patients with acute calculous cholecystitis are in a critical condition and often complicated by various internal diseases. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most commonly used therapeutic method. Clinicians should be fully prepared before surgery, take the perioperative management seriously, and accurately judge the surgical indications and timing.

ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of Mirizzi syndrome in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 32 patients who underwent LC in the 451 Hospital of PLA from December 2006 to December 2014 and experienced Mirizzi syndrome during the perioperative period. Intraoperative diagnosis, selection of surgical procedures, and evaluation of treatment outcome were summarized. ResultsAmong these patients with Mirizzi syndrome, 8 were diagnosed before surgery and 24 were diagnosed during LC. According to the Csendes classification, 23 patients had type Ⅰ, 7 had type Ⅱ, 1 had type Ⅲ, and 1 had type Ⅳ Mirizzi syndrome. A total of 30 patients completed LC, and they all had type I or Ⅱ Mirizzi syndrome. One patient with type Ⅱ disease underwent LC and common bile duct exploration. Two patients with type Ⅲ or Ⅳ disease were converted to open surgery; the type Ⅲ patient underwent bile duct end-to-end anastomosis, and the type Ⅳ patient underwent choledochoenterostomy. ConclusionMirizzi syndrome is difficult to diagnose, and ultrasonography is the preferred method of examination. A combination of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography can improve preoperative diagnostic rate. Most cases of type Ⅰ and Ⅱ Mirizzi syndrome can be treated by LC. Open surgery should be considered for type Ⅲ and Ⅳ cases to avoid biliary tract injury.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of a novel mobile health patient management system involving doctors, nurses, and patients ( TRIO mode) on glycemic control and self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) compliance among the type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM) patients using basal insulin standardization treatment in China. Methods From April 2014 to April 2015, 416 hospitals in 110 cities of 30 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions across China were selected to participate in the program. A Online-to-Offline ( O2O) integrated mobile health patients management system with mobile terminals for the doctors, nurses, and patients was applied in the program for patient education, follow-up, and data collection. For all the newly recruited patients, the baseline information was collected and a first-day patient education program were provided by a designated nurse. In the 12-week follow-up period, data of basal insulin doses and fasting plasma glucose ( FPG) values were collected from the patients by text messages or tracking phone call by the nurse. The patients also received timely standardized patients health education and glycemic control guidance by participating in thepatient education forum anddoctors' hotline in order to help them achieve the glycemic control goals. Results A total of 102 524 patients using basal insulin treatment were eligible and enrolled in the program. 64 420 patients completed the 12 weeks follow-up and provided at least one FPG value at all five follow-ups. In total, 62. 6% (40 334 / 64 420) of the patients reached the FPG control target(FPG≤7. 0 mmol/ L) at the end of follow-up period. The weekly average FPG for patients with complete SMBG data decreased from 10. 58 mmol/ L to 6. 91 mmol/ L while the FPG control rates increased from 13. 4% to 69. 2% . The weekly average FPG for the patients provided incomplete SMBG data decreased from 10. 54 mmol/ L to 7. 13 mmol/ L while the FPG control rates increased from 13. 6% to 62. 2% . The FPG control rates for the patients provided complete SMBG were 1. 74 times higher than those patients provided incomplete SMBG. Based on a GEE model, the average decline of the FPG and the increase of the FPG control rates were significantly better for patients who provided complete SMBG as compared to the patients with incomplete SMBG data. The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that factors such as receiving the first-day education, participating in the follow-up patient education forum, and the doctors' hotline were significantly associated with the improvement of the SMBG compliance, the treatment adherence, and the FPG control rates. The SMBG compliance and the treatment adherence for patients who completed first-day education were 1. 68 times and 1. 22 times higher, respectively. For the patients who participated in follow-up education activities, their SMBG compliance and treatment adherence were 3. 17 times and 3. 36 times higher, respectively. Conclusion The innovativeTRIOmobile health patient management mode was feasible and effective for better managing the type 2 diabetes patients initiated on basal insulin treatment in China. Active participation in the first-day education program and the follow-up patient education activities can effectively improve the SMBG compliance and the treatment adherence, and therefore play an important role in helping patient achieving FPG control in a faster manner.

Objective:To investigate the application value of shear wave elastography (SWE) and real-time tissue elastography (RTE) in differential diagnosis of thyroid Amereican College Radiology (ACR) TR5 nodules.Methods:Patients who underwent ultrasound examination at the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from August 2018 to June 2019 diagnosed as ACR TR5 nodules were surveyed, and received SWE and RTE examinations to evaluate the nodules hardness. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to obtain the best diagnostic cutoff value for the Young's modulus maximum (Emax) of the benign and malignant thyroid ACR TR5 nodules using SWE technique; using the 5-point method, the elasticity score (ES) was used to evaluate the benign and malignant ACR TR5 nodules by RTE technology, and the pathological results were regarded as "gold standard". The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of SWE, RTE and two elastography techniques in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid ACR TR5 nodules were compared.Results:A total of 65 patients were enrolled, with a total of 73 ACR TR5 nodules. The optimal Emax threshold for differential diagnosis of ACR TR5 nodules by SWE technology was 41.8 kPa, and 32 malignant nodules and 41 benign ones were determined. Of the 73 ACR TR5 nodules using RTE technology, 38 had ES scores of 1 to 3 and 35 had ES scores of ≥4. Pathological results showed that among 73 thyroid ACR TR5 nodules, benign nodules accounted for 45.21% (33/73), malignant nodules accounted for 54.79% (40/73). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of SWE, RTE and two elastography techniques for differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid ACR TR5 nodules were 72.50%, 77.50%, 87.50%; 90.91%, 87.88%, 87.88%; 80.82%, 82.19%, 87.67%; 90.63%, 88.57%, 89.24% and 73.17%, 76.32%, 85.29%.Conclusions:Ultrasound elastography of two different imaging principles of SWE and RTE is an effective method for differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid ACR TR5 nodules. The combination of the two is more advantageous.
