Objective To investigate the incidence and related risk factors of delirium in elderly patients with hip frac-ture. Methods From October 2014 to February 2017, 306 patients with femoral neck fracture or intertrochanteric fracture more than 65 years old underwent elective hip arthroplasty (hip arthroplasty, proximal femoral nail fixation) were retrospective-ly analyzed. Patients' general information was recorded: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), history of diabetes mellitus, history of coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, preoperative biochemical tests, left ventricular ejection fraction, thrombosis of both lower extremities, intraoperative status (ASA score, NYHA heart function score, anesthesia, anesthesia time, etc.), periop-erative blood transfusion, biochemical examination on the first day after surgery, perioperative albumin consumption, etc.; ac-cording to whether delirium happened after surgery, those patients were divided into delirium group and non-delirium Group and analyzed the incidence of postoperative delirium. Using univariate logistic regression analysis screened factors associated with postoperative delirium. The results were entered into the multivariate logistic regression analysis, screening the high risk factors for postoperative delirium.Results The incidence of delirium was 59(19.29%) after perioperative hip fracture, includ-ing 23 males and 36 females, ranging in age from 70 to 93 years with an average of (81.9±5.4) years. 247 cases had no deliri-um,including 81 males and 166 females,aged 65-96 years,with an average(76.4±8.1)years.The factors of age,length of hos-pital stay, days before surgery, preoperative hematocrit, perioperative albumin consumption, perioperative blood transfusion, preoperative leukocyte levels, preoperative albumin levels, preoperative creatinine, urea level, Mallampati classification (Mar-kov grade), cardiac function score (NYHA score), ASA score, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative leukocyte level, left ven-tricular ejection fraction, previous cerebral infarction, history of coronary heart disease, and diabetes were statistically signifi-cant different; univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the factors of age, ASA score, history of diabetes mellitus, length of hospitalization, and perioperative albumin consumption were demonstrated to have relationship with the occurrence of postoperative delirium. Multivariate regression analysis showed that age, history of diabetes and ASA score are the high risk factors of postoperative delirium.Conclusion Age,history of diabetes mellitus and ASA score are risk factors of delirium in el-derly patients with hip fracture.Those patients older than 75 years,with the history of diabetes mellitus or ASA score> 2 points were at higher risk of postoperative delirium,which prolongs hospitalization and increases protein consumption.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) aneurysms (AVFAs) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:The patients who used internal arteriovenous fistula (end to side anastomosis) of cephalic vein-radial artery at wrist as vascular access in Hainan Provincial People′s Hospital from June 1 to June 30, 2021 were selected as the research objects. The patients were divided into AVFAs group and non-AVFAs group according to whether AVF formed AVFAs. The clinical data and laboratory examination results between the two groups were compared. Binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors for the formation of AVFAs.Results:A total of 170 MHD patients were enrolled in this study, including 111 males (65.3%) and 59 females (34.7%), with age of (51.65±12.70) years old and dialysis age of (57.03±49.25) months. There were 33 cases in AVFAs group and 137 cases in non-AVFAs group. The incidence of AVFAs was 19.4%. Compared with non-AVFAs group, the proportion of males ( χ2=4.934, P=0.026) and the levels of serum uric acid ( t=2.547, P=0.012) and serum albumin ( t=2.122, P=0.010) in AVFAs group were higher; The age ( t=-2.210, P=0.028), the proportion of diabetes nephropathy ( χ2=11.788, P=0.001), systolic blood pressure ( t=-1.994, P=0.048) and total cholesterol ( t=-2.174, P=0.031) were lower; The diameter of anastomosis was wider ( Z=-3.224, P=0.001); Mantel-Haenszel chi square test analysis showed that dialysis age ( χ2=53.832, OR=0.518, P<0.001), AVF service time ( χ2=51.355, OR=0.516, P<0.001), and brachial artery blood flow ( χ2=25.315, OR=0.331, P<0.001) were correlated to the formation of AVFAs. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that males ( OR=10.005, 95% CI 1.875-53.394, P=0.007), longer dialysis age ( OR=1.341, 95% CI 1.104-1.628, P=0.003), longer AVF use time ( OR=1.187, 95% CI 1.002-1.405, P=0.047), higher brachial artery blood flow ( OR=1.002, 95% CI 1.000-1.004, P=0.028) and lower total cholesterol ( OR=0.388, 95% CI 0.172-0.875, P=0.022) were the independent risk factors for the formation of AVFAs. Conclusions:The incidence of AVFAs in MHD patients is 19.4%. Males, long dialysis age, long AVF use time, high brachial artery blood flow and low total cholesterol level are the independent risk factors for the formation of AVFAs.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive hereditary rare disease with high heterogeneity in clinical phenotypes, which can affect multiple systems, such as six fingers/digits deformity, mental impairment, retinopathy, polycystic kidney, etc, and is easily diagnosed according to a single system disease, resulting in misdiagnosis. The paper reports a case of BBS, diagnosed with "renal cyst, developmental delay, chondrosis, and left foot hexadactylism" at 5 years old, "anemia, renal insufficiency, distal renal tubule poisoning, renal osteodystrophy" at 7 years old. At 10 years old, the patient received hemodialysis treatment for uremia. Cloudy vision appeared in both eyes at 14 years old. Because of the prominent manifestation of kidney damage, the patient was misdiagnosed as "polycystic kidney" for a long time, and other systemic damages were ignored. The result of gene sequencing showed that chromosome 16 NM_031885.5 exon17 had one homozygous nonsense mutation. Therefore, the patient was accurately diagnosed as BBS. This paper is the first report of BBS in Li nationality in China. The relevant literature of BBS were reviewed to strengthen clinicians' understanding of the disease and improve patients' prognosis.

Objective:To explore the effect of long-term exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM 10) on the prevalence of diabetes and fasting plasma glucose (FPG). Methods:The subjects of the study were from the baseline population of "Jinchang Cohort", and 24 285 subjects were finally included after excluding incomplete home address information and diabetic diagnosis information. The demographic characteristics, lifestyle and health status of the survey subjects were collected through questionnaire, physical examination and laboratory tests. ArcGIS software was used to match the nearest environmental monitoring stations for each subject according to residential address. Two-year average concentrations of PM 10 were calculated to estimate exposure level. The logistic regression and the multiple linear regression were conducted to assess the effects of ambient PM 10 on the prevalence of diabetes and FPG. The restricted cubic spline was used to quantify the dose-response relationship. Stratified analysis and effect modification analysis were also performed. Results:The age of 24 285 participants was (49.32±8.60) years, and the BMI was (24.22±6.09) kg/m 2. There were 13 950 (57.44%) males and 2 066 (8.51%) diabetic patients. After adjusting for confounders, for every 10 μg/m 3 increase in the average PM 10 concentration in the first two years of the survey, the prevalence of diabetes increased [ OR (95% CI) =1.05 (1.01-1.09)]and the FPG level elevated [β (95% CI) = 0.061 (0.047-0.076) mmol/L]. The results of the restricted cubic spline analysis showed a nonlinear relationship between PM 10 concentration and FPG level ( P<0.001). Further subgroup analysis showed that female [ OR (95% CI) =1.10 (1.03-1.18)], people over 50 years old [ OR (95% CI) =1.06 (1.02-1.11) ], subjects with family history of diabetes [ OR (95% CI) = 1.13 (1.04-1.23) ], and with hypertension [ OR (95% CI) = 1.07 (1.02-1.12) ] had a stronger association between the prevalence of diabetes and PM 10 exposure (all P interaction values were<0.05). The effects of PM 10 on FPG were more significant in people older than 50 years[β (95% CI) = 0.080 (0.050-0.109) mmol/L], with family history of diabetes [β (95% CI) = 0.087 (0.036-0.137) mmol/L], and hypertension [β (95% CI) = 0.077 (0.046-0.108) mmol/L] (all P interaction values were<0.05). Conclusions:Long-term exposure to ambient PM 10 increases the diabetes prevalence and FPG. People older than 50 years old, with family history of diabetes and hypertension could be more sensitive to the effects of PM 10 exposure.

Objective:To explore the prevalence and risk factors of sarcopenia in patients with maintenance dialysis (MHD).Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. Patients who received MHD treatment in the Blood Purification Center of Hainan Provincial People's Hospital in October 2019 were included as study subjects. The patients were divided into sarcopenia group and non-sarcopenia group according to whether they had sarcopenia or not. Chest CT imaging and laboratory examination data were collected. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure the skeletal muscle mass. Chi-square test or Mantel-Haenszel trend chi-square test was used to compare the clinical data of patients with and without sarcopenia. Multivariate logistic regression equation was used to analyze the risk factors of sarcopenia.Results:A total of 182 MHD patients were enrolled in the study, and the prevalence of sarcopenia was 33.5% (61/182). The proportions of age ≥60 years old, diabetic nephropathy, tunneled-cuffed catheter, body mass index <18 kg/m 2, serum albumin <40 g/L, low density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥3.37 mmol/L, left ventricular ejection fraction <50%, chest CT-suspected pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and PTB in sarcopenia group were higher than those in non-sarcopenia group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that left ventricular ejection fraction <50% (≥50% as a reference, OR=3.250, 95% CI 1.035-10.206, P=0.044), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥3.37 mmol/L (<3.37 mmol/L as a reference, OR=6.354 ,95% CI 1.675-24.108, P=0.007), chest CT-suspected PTB (normal as a reference, OR=7.433, 95% CI 1.531-36.083, P=0.013), and PTB (normal as a reference, OR=28.871, 95% CI 3.208-259.872, P=0.030) were independent influencing factors of sarcopenia in MHD patients. Conclusions:The prevalence of sarcopenia is higher in MHD patients. Blood low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥3.37 mmol/L, ejection fraction <50%, chest CT-PTB and suspected PTB are independent risk factors of sarcopenia in MHD patients. Correcting left ventricular systolic function, regulating blood lipids and preventing PTB as early as possible can reduce the prevalence of sarcopenia in MHD patients.
