Objective To explore the related risk factors for diabetic nephropathy(DN) and discuss the value of diabetic dermopathy (DD) screening for DN.Methods A total of 188 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were studied,which included 78 patients with DN (DN group) and 110 cases without DN (non-DN group).The sex,age,duration of diabetes mellitus,smoking,DD,body mass index (BMI),systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),fasting blood glucose (FBG),2hours postpradial glucose(2 h PG),triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC),glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c),fasting C-peptide(FC-P) were recorded.Multiple factor Logistic regression was applied in patients with DN and non-DN.Results The incidence of DD and DN in T2DM patients was 47.34％(89/188) and 41.49％ (78/188) respectively.The ratio of DD in DN group was 79.49％(62/78),in non-DN group was 24.55％ (27/110),and the difference was significant (P ＜ 0.05).The age,duration of diabetes mellitus,SBP,FBG,2 h PG,HbA1c in DN group was higher than that in non-DN group [(52.83 ± 6.43) years old vs.(50.35 ±6.48) years old,(10.51 ±4.36) years vs.(6.48 ±3.25) years,(137.42 ± 14.17) mmHg(1mmHg =0.133 kPa) vs.(132.57 ± 15.38) mmHg,(11.95 ±2.83) mmol/L vs.(10.28 ± 1.98) mmol/L,(15.07 ± 3.16) mmol/L vs.(13.51 ± 2.75) mmol/L,(9.62±2.17)％ vs.(8.63 ± 2.08) ％],FC-P was lower than that in non-DN group [(1.76 ± 0.89) μ g/L vs.(2.01 ± 0.72) μ g/L],and the difference was significant (P ＜ 0.05).Multiple factor Logistic regression analysis showed that duration of diabetes mellitus,DD and FPG were still related to DN in T2DM (OR =4.841,3.209,3.368,P ＜0.01).Conclusions DD is correlated with DN in T2DM.DN should be screened in T2DM patients with DD.

BACKGROUND:With the development of biochemistry and cel biology, fracture has being study deeper, blood supply has been known to be an important factor influencing the fracture healing. Endothelial progenitor cel s with good ability of angiogenesis wil have a good clinical prospect in fracture healing.
OBJECTIVE:To review the recent research of endothelial progenitor cel s in fracture healing.
METHODS:A computer-based online search of CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed databases was performed to col ect articles published between 1980 and 2014 with the key words“endothelial progenitor cel , fracture, neovascularization, angiogenesis”in Chinese and English. A total of 48 articles addressing endothelial progenitor cel for angiogenesis in fracture healing were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Increasing evidence has shown that endothelial progenitor cel s have great ability of neovascularzition and angiogenesis. Endothelial progenitor cel s used in tissue engineering scaffolds can promote the survival rate of scaffolds in vivo, which is appropriate to a great part of delayed union and nonunion patients. However, the large-scale treatment with endothelial progenitor cel s stil has many problems, such as isolation, culture and amplification of endothelial progenitor cel s in vitro, the number of transplanted cel s and selection of scaffolds for transplanted cel s, which need further research.

Objective To explore the angiogenesis&neovascularization effects of naringin treatment in ovariectomized rats’fracture healing. Methods Upper 1/3 transverse tibial fracture model 4 weeks later after ovariectomized were estimated and randomly divided into the naringin group and control group. Microfil perfusion technique was used to analysis the angiogene?sis situation at two weeks after bone fracture. HE staining was used to evaluate the level of angiogenesis&neovascularization of tis?sue from histological point of view. The relative expression of VEGF in the callus was identified by real?time polymerase chain re?action. Immunohistochemical technique was used to observe the vessel endothelial growth factor?2 in the callus of the two groups. Maximum fracture load was tested by three?point bend test. Results The vascular volume and vascular density were more in nar?ingin group than control group. The HE staining of the 2 week group slices shows that the VA, VN2 of the unit of high magnifica?tion vision of the naringin group was significantly larger compared to the control group. Real?time PCR revealed that the compara?tive expression of VEGF is more in naringin group than in control group; the positive number of VEGFR?2 is more in naringin group than in control group. Naringin can promote the maximum load of the callus. Conclusion Naringin can promote ovariecto?mized rats’angiogenesis&neovascularization in the early process of fracture healing. It may be act on the signaling pathway of VEGF/VEGFR?2.

[Summary] A total of 165 type 2 diabetic patients were divided into two groups with pigmented pretibial pathes(PPP group) and no PPP( NPPP group). 50 subjects with normal glucose regulation were used as a control group(NGR group). The records of sex, age, diabetes duration, body mass index( BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, fasting blood glucose(FBG), 2 h postpradial plasma glucose(2hPG), triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol, HbA1C , retinol binding protein 4(RBP4), cystatin C(Cys C)were analyzed. The results showed that BMI,FBG, 2hPG, TG, and Cys C levels in NPPP group were higher than those in NGR group(all P<0. 01). The levels of BMI, SBP, FBG, 2hPG, TG, Cys C, and RBP4 in PPP group were higher than those in NGR group(P<0. 01 or P<0. 05), while diabetes duration, FBG, 2hPG, HbA1C , Cys C, and RBP4 in PPP group were higher than those in NPPP group ( P <0. 01). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that serum RBP4 and Cys C were in linear positive correlation(r=0. 77, P< 0. 01). The areas under receiver operating characteristic curve of RBP4 and Cys C were 0. 81 and 0. 78, respectively(P<0. 01). The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes duration, HbA1C , RBP4 were related to PPP(r=0. 37, 0. 26, 0. 22, P<0. 05 or P<0. 01).

Objective To explore the application of body mass index(BMI)and the increased value of postpradial 2h C peptide [2hCP minus fasting C-peptide(FCP), ΔCP]as indexes to adjust the antidiabetic plan after intensive blood glucose control in poorly controlled patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods The insulin intensive therapy with injections of insulin four times a day was applied to 156 type 2 diabetic in-patients with poorly glycemic control.Islet function was evaluated after glucostasis in all patients.According to FCP≥1 ng/ml, addition of basal insulin to oral antidiabetic drugs was applied(as plan A, A group).The insulin intensive therapy was continued if FCP<1ng/ml(as plan B,B group).The treatment plan was adjusted from plan A to B when plasma glucose was poorly controlled after a week(as B group).The baseline data of sex, age, diabetes duration, BMI, fasting plasma glucose(FPG), 2 hours postpradial plasma glucose(2hPG), HbA1C, triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, FCP, 2hCP, 2hCP/FCP, and ΔCP were analyzed.Insulin dose, the incidence of hypoglycemia, and the targeted rate of glucose control were compared between two groups before grouping and one month after treatment.Results The results showed that BMI, TG, FCP, 2hCP, 2hCP/FCP, and ΔCP in A group were higher than those in B group(P<0.01), while FPG, 2hPG and HbA1C were lower(P<0.01).There were no differences in insulin dose, the incidence of hypoglycemia, the targeted rate of FPG and 2hPG between two groups when grouping.After one-month treatment, insulin dose and the incidence of hypoglycemia in group A were lower than those in group B, while the targeted rates of FPG and 2hPG in group A were better than group B(P<0.05 or P<0.01).The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that BMI and ΔCP were independent factors for choosing antidiabetic plan A(β=0.26, 0.90,P<0.01).The areas under receiver operator characteristic curve of BMI and ΔCP were 0.72 and 0.84, respectively(P<0.01), and their cut-off points to choose antidiabetic plan A were 23.14 kg/m2 and 1.32 ng/ml.Conclusions BMI and ΔCP can be used as the predictive indexes for choosing an antidiabetic plan for poorly controlled type 2 diabetic patients.

The tibial plateau fractures is basically characterized by the collapse and split of the articular surface, increasing the difficulty of surgical reduction and fixation.The complex soft tissue structure adjacent to the tibial plateau prevents the reduction and fixation of tibial plateau fractures. The injuries associated with the fracture and surgical approach also aggravate the loss of knee joint stability. Therefore, the bony reconstruction and soft tissue protection of the knee joint have been the difficulties during the operation of tibial plateau fractures. The authors review the literatures relevant to the progress in surgical management of tibial plateau fractures from aspects of surgical approach, internal and external fixation technology, application of arthroscopic technique, balloon angioplasty, total knee arthroplasty, digital orthopedic technology and repair of soft tissue injury, hoping to provide references for clinical treatment of tibial plateau fractures.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum complement C1q and microalbuminuria (MAU) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods Two hundred and thirty patients with T2DM from January 2017 to July 2018 were selected. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the MAU: group A (100 patients with MAU≤30 mg/L), group B (80 patients with 30 mg/L ＜ MAU ≤ 300 mg/L) and group C (50 patients with MAU ＞300 mg/L). The clinical data were recorded and serum complement C1q was measured by immunoturbidimetry. The homeostatic model assessment C-peptide resistance index (HOMA-CR) was calculated. The correlation was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed with MAU ＞300 mg/L as dependent variable. Results The complement C1q in group C was significantly higher than that in group A and group B: (198.72 ± 43.25) mg/L vs. (173.42 ± 29.36) and (181.57 ± 35.79) mg/L, and there was statistical difference (P＜0.05). Spearman correlation analysis result showed that serum complement C1q had positive correlation with body mass index (BMI), fasting C-peptide (FCP), HOMA-CR and MAU in patients with T2DM (r = 0.22, 0.26, 0.31 and 0.38; P＜0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that course of disease, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and complement C1q were the independent risk factor of MAU＞300 mg/L in patients with T2DM (P＜0.01). Conclusions In patients with T2DM, serum complement C1q has positive correlation with MAU, and it is the independent risk factor of MAU＞300 mg/L. The serum complement C1q may be one of the indicators of large amount of MAU.

【Objective】 To evaluate the efficacy and safety of different doses and frequencies of oral Sildenafil in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). 【Methods】 The randomized,open clinical trial included 120 ED patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients were randomly divided into the following groups:on-schedule (25 mg/day),on-demand (50 mg,taken irregularly half an hour before each sexual life),new regular group (25 mg/day,50 mg more before each sexual life),regular group (100 mg/time,twice/week). All treatments lasted for 8 weeks. The follow-up indexes included the five-item International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5),Erection Hardness Scale (EHS) and Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP2/3). The adverse reactions were recorded. 【Results】 The IIEF-5 scores of the four groups were significantly higher than those after baseline treatment (P<0.001),but there was no significant difference among the four groups (P>0.05). In terms of effective rate,at the 16th week,there were significant differences between the on-demand group (10.7%) and new regular group (62.1%),and between the on-demand group (10.7%) and regular group (50.0%) (P<0.001). In terms of EHS, the percentage of grade 4 patients in regular group was significant higher than that in the on-demand group at the 8th week and 16th week (all P<0.05). In terms of positive rate of SEP-3,there was a significant difference between the on-demand group and regular group (P=0.042) at the 16th week. In the course of treatment,there were transient adverse reactions such as headache,blurred vision,stuffy nose and back pain,which did not affect the treatment. 【Conclusion】 All of the four treatment methods of oral sildenafil showed good efficacy. Both regular group and new regular group maintained good clinical efficacy during the follow-up,which is better than that of the on-demand group. The new regular scheme can be used as a new,safe and effective treatment option.

Objective: To explore the independent predictors for disease-specific survival (DSS) rate in patients with stage N_1-3 testicular seminoma (TS), and establish a nomogram to predict individual 5-year DSS. Methods: The data of N_1-3 TS patients registered in the SEER database of National Cancer Institute (USA) from January 2004 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate and DSS rate were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method and the differences among different subgroups were assessed using log-rank test. Besides, the independent predictors of DSS were defined using multivariate Cox regression analysis, and nomogram was drawn using R software. Furthermore, the predictive performance of the nomogram was internally validated using the C-index and calibration plot. Results: TNM stage ⅢA (HR=5.604, 95%CI: 1.252-25.083, P=0.024), ⅢB (HR=6.710, 95%CI: 1.923-23.410, P=0.003) and ⅢC (HR=13.189, 95%CI: 3.916-44.420, P<0.001), age at diagnosis ≥45 years old (HR=3.575, 95%CI: 2.014-6.344, P<0.001), and patients without spouse (HR=2.346, 95%CI: 1.406-3.914, P=0.001) were identified as independent risk factors for DSS. On internal validation, the predictive accuracy of our nomogram was 0.751 (C-index: 0.751, 95%CI: 0.694-0.808). Besides, the calibration plot showed that the predicted survival outcomes were highly consistent with the actual survival outcomes. Conclusion The study confirms that age at diagnosis ≥45 years old, TNM stage ≥ⅢA and patients without spouse are the independent risk factors for DSS in TS patients with stage N_1-3, and the nomogram for predicting individual 5-year DSS is established.
