Objective To investigate the changes of bone mineral density (BMD) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients in Changsha,and take intervention measures to prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis and fracture.Methods A total of 278 HIV-infected patients and 154 cases of healthy adults from March 2011 to May 2015 were selected.Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to detect BMD,T-score and Z-score of all the research objects,including the whole body,lumbar spine (L2～4),and left hip joint.The height and weight were measured at the same time.Results The HIV infection group had an average age of (31.53 ± 8.56) years old,and the healthy control group was (34.45 ± 8.22) years old.Height between two groups had no significant difference.The average weight of HIV infection group was 6.93 kg [95％ CI,-9.01,-4.97;P ＜0.001] lighter than that in the normal control group.BMD,T-score and Z-score of HIV infection group were significantly lower than those in norrmal control group (P ＜ 0.001).The occurrence rate of osteopenia (Z ≤-1.0)and osteoporosis (Z ≤-2.0)in HIV infection group were correspondingly 43.53％ ～ 54.68％ and 9.71％ ～23.74％,which is about 4 times of that in the healthy control group (14.28％ ～ 20.13％,0.65％ ～ 5.84％).Conclusions The average body weight of HIV-infected patients was significantly lower than that of normal control group,and the incidence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in HIV-infected group was significantly higher than that in normal control group.

Forty-two patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) were refered to 3 groups:type 2 DM without diabetic nephropathy (DN),type 2 DM with DN in the initial stage and type 2 DM with DN in the clinical stage.Ten healthy subjects were served as control group.Plasma adrenomedullin (ADM),urinary?_1- microglobulin (MG) and?_2-MG were detected.The results showed that the level of plasma ADM rose gradually with the development of DN and was positively correlated with markers of tubulointerstiial injury such as urinary?_1- MG and?_2-MG (both P

Clinical practice teaching in out-patient department is an important part of general internal clinical teaching for medical students. From 2010, eight-year program medical students in Huazhong University of Science and Technology began their clinical rotation practice in the out-patient department of general internal medicine. The one-on-one tutoring style was used in clinical teaching. We combined teacher demonstration teaching method with teacher supervision teaching method in clinical practice, and carried out periodical case discussion. At the end of each rotation stage, regular teaching evaluation and examination was taken. It has been proved that our teaching mode can not only help the students improve their professional and practical levels of clinical skills, and also help them gain the clinical working abilities and the professional spirits, which is worthy of further promotion.

Objective To evaluate the effects of flurbiprofen axetil administered at different time points on oxygenation in the patients undergoing one-lung ventilation (OLV).Methods Ninety patients of both sexes,aged 45-64 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,undergoing elective thoracoscope-assisted pulmonary lobectomy,were assigned into 3 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),preoperative administration group (group F1) and intraoperative administration group (group F2).Flurbiprofen axetil (10 mg/ml) and fat emulsion 10 ml were injected intravenously at 15 min before operation in F1 and C groups,respectively.Flurbiprofen axetil 10 ml was intravenously injected immediately after the beginning of OLV in group F2.At 15 min before operation (T1),15 and 30 min of OLV (T2,3),and 15 min after restoration of two-lung ventilation (T4),airway peak pressure (Ppeak) and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) were recorded,arterial blood samples were collected for blood gas analysis.The arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) was recorded,and the oxygenation index (OI) and intrapulmonary shunt (Qs/Qt) were calculated.The concentrations of thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-K-PGF1α) in serum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and TXB2/6-K-PGF1α ratio was calculated.The development of interrupting OLV due to SpO2＜90％ and postoperative dyspnea,pulmonary infection,atelectasis and length of hospital stay were recorded.Results Compared with group C,PaO2 and OI were significantly increased,and Qs/Qt was decreased at T2,3,the serum concentrations of TXB2 and 6-K-PGF1α were decreased,and TXB2/6-K-PGF1α ratio was increased at T2-4,the incidence of interrupting OLV was decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group F2 (P＞0.05).Compared with group F1,PaO2 and OI were significantly decreased at T2,3,Qs/Qt was increased at T2,and the serum concentrations of TXB2 and 6-K-PGF1α were increased,and TXB2/6-K-PGF1α ratio was decreased at T2-4 in group F2 (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative dyspnea,pulmonary infection and atelectasis and length of hospital stay between the three groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion Flurbiprofen axetil injected at 15 min before operation can significantly improve oxygenation and prevent the development of hyoxemia in the patients undergoing OLV,however,flurbiprofen axetil administered immediately after the beginning of OLV has no such effect.

AIM:To evaluate therapeutic effect of Zhiqi oral solution on adult periodontitis. METHODS: Supragingival scaling and root planning were carried out in 100 patients with adult periodontitis. Then the patients with periodontitis were divided into two groups randomly. 32 patients in the control group took orally Metronidazole and 68 patients in the experimental group took orally Zhiqi oral solution. The pain reaction, bleeding index, probing depth, plaque index, changes of microorganisms in periodontal pocket and side effect before and after the treatment were observed at a 30 days observation period. RESULTS:Zhiqi oral solution had a therapeutic effect on periodontitis, compared with the control group ( P

Objective To investigate the relationship between acute radiation proctitis and radiation dose,volume as well as radiation time,in the process of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for the cervical cancer patients.Methods A total of 51 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer were enrolled from January 2011 to December 2013.Those patients were then classified into grade 1 to 4 groups,according to the RTOG/EORTCtoxicity grading standard.The exposure dose volume and the average dose of rectum under the standard plan were evaluated with dose-volume histogram (DVH).The ANOVA test was used for analyzing Dmax,D mean,D1 cm3,D2cm3,D40 and V40 values of rectum and the average exposure dose of rectum.Results The average time of acute radiation proctitis with clinical symptoms was (23.06 ± 12.01) d after radiotherapy.Dmaxvalues of rectum in grade 2 group was lower than those in grade 3 and 4 groups (F =5.268,P ＜ 0.05).Moreover,D1 cm3 and D2 cm3 values of rectum in grade 1 and 2 groups were also lower than those in grade 3 and 4 groups (F =4.893,4.406,P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between D40 and V40 values.Conclusions The acute radiation proctitis could be frequently found around 20 days during the IMRT for cervical cancer patients.Mild and moderate acute radiation proctitis are more common,while severe acute radiation proctitis is rare.Minimizing Dmax,D1 cm3 and D2 cm3 values of rectum might reduce the incidence of severe acute radiation proctitis in cervical cancer patients receiving IMRT.
