Objective To investigate the prevalence of cervical spondylosis among adults in Beijing.Methods The prevalence of cervical spondyiosis among people older than 18 years who had lived in Beijing for more than six months was investigated in December 2010.The multi-stage sampling was used in this cross-sectional study.The related information was obtained by a self-designed questionnaire.Single and muhivariable Logistic regression models were applied to analyze high risk districts and populations.Results A total of 3859 people were enrolled in this study.Among them there were 531 people with cervical spondylosis,and the prevalence was 13.76％.The prevalence of cervical spondylosis in suburb (15.97％) was the highest compared with city center and countrysides (x2=8.257,P=0.016).The prevalence in females (10.49％) was higher than that (16.51％) in males (x2=29.432,P＜0.001).The distribution of prevalence among different age populations was inverted U shape,and the prevalence was higher in 45 years group (20.43％) and 60 years group (18.91％) compared with other two groups.The prevalence in employed group was 1.303 times higher than that in unemployed group (95％CI:1.008,1.684).According to the muhivariable logistic regression result,suburb (OR=1.306,P=0.026),females (OR=1.81 1,P＜0.001),people who were 45years or 60 years (OR=2.171,P＜0.001; OR=2.430,P＜0.001,respectively) and employed and retired people (OR=1.664,P=0.001; OR=1.303,P=0.043,respectively) were high risk population of cervical spondylosis.Conclusion The prevalence of cervical spondylosis among adults in Beijing was much higher and vastly distributed.It's necessary to reinforce the prevention,diagnosis and treatment study.Young females,people aged 45 years or 60 years,and employed people were high risk populations.

Aim To apply stochastic resonance algorithm (SRA) to quantitative analysis of weak chromatographic signal, which was embedded in the noise. Methods Based on the theory of stochastic resonance (SR), a simple and effective SRA has been established to improve analytical detection limits of chromatographic analysis, which apply to enhance the signal to noise ratio by the optimization of the parameters and Runge-Kutta method, was established. The method was used to quantitative analysis of phenazopyridine in human plasma by HPLC/UV. Meanwhile this method is compared with HPLC/MS.Results By experimental chromatographic data sets, an excellent quantitative relationship between concentrations of phenazopyridine and their responses had been obtained. The concentration of phenazopyridine in plasma determined by HPLC/UV with SRA and HPLC/MS showed that there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05) between the two methods. Conclusion The new method was feasible.

Aging is associated with loss of muscle (sarcopneia) and bone (osteoporosis), resulting in an impaired capacity to perform daily activities, furthermore might progress to the extent that an older person loses his or her ability to live independently. Recent studies showed that exercise had remarkable beneficial effects on the musculoskeletal system, including prevention and treatment of these syndromes. Based on the recent research achievement, this paper reviewed exercise prescription in aging sarcopenia and osteoporosis, the result revealed resistance training is the most effective measure to prevent and treat sarcopenia and osteoporosis. In addition, long periods of walking or jogging for over half a year can increase leg muscle size in older adults.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors on hospitalization costs of osteoporosis hip fracture in elderly patients.Methods The hospitalization expenses of patients with osteoporotic hip fracture and influencing factors were analyzed by single factor analysis of variance and multiple regression analysis method in Beijing Ji Shuitan Hospital from 2009 July to 2010 December.Results Among 565 patients who underwent operation treatment,hospitalization costs of femoral neck fracture was (42 127±20 821) yuan,wherein the treatment fee was (27 283± 14 959) yuan,other expenses (expenses for medicine,examination and chemical examination) were (14 844 ± 8717) yuan.The above values of intertrochanteric fracture were (52 965± 15 901) yuan,(36 872±11 763) yuan and (16 093±7793) yuan,respectively.Treatment fee occupied 65％ of hospitalization expenses.Multivariate regression analysis of influencing factors of costs intertrochanteric revealed that femoral neck fractures hip arthroplasty,femoral intertrochanteric fracture,venous thrombosis of the lower extremity,and albumin infusion in perioperative period were correlated firmly with the increased hospitalization expenses and treatment expenses (P＜0.001).Comorbidities such as diabetes and anemia,perioperative complication such as delirium,cardiac disease,pulmonary embolism,pulmonary infection were related to the other higher expenses (P＜0.05).The longer of hospital stay resulted in higher cost of hospitalization (P ＜ 0.001).Conclusions Comorbidities and preoperative complications can increase other expenses.Osteoporotie hip fracture,with a high hospitalization cost,is a heavy economy burden.It is important to emphasize the disease prevention of both osteoporosis and aging chronic illness.

Objective To investigate changes of spontaneous brain activity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF) on subbands, and the possible relationship between these changes and cognitive impairment caused by T2DM.Methods Twenty-two T2DM patients and twenty-three healthy control subjects were involved in this study between December 2013 and June 2014 and the demographic and clinical data (fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c level) were obtained in all subjects.General cognition was assessed by MMSE in all subjects, and memory performance was assessed by Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT) in T2DM group.3D-T1 structural and resting-state functional MRI data were collected by MR scanner.Then fALFF value on slow-5 (0.010-0.027 Hz) and slow-4 (0.027-0.073 Hz) were calculated respectively using DPARSF V2.3.Intra-group and inter-group t-tests were conducted by REST V1.8.Partial correlation among fALFF values extracted from significantly different brain regions, clinical data and AVLT score of T2DM patients were calculated , using age as covariate.Results Compared to the healthy controls, T2DM patients showed increased fALFF values in bilateral anterior cingulate gyrus (cluster=130, t=4.4487, P＜0.05) and partial left cerebelum areas (cluster=89, t=3.8409, P＜0.05) in frequency band slow-5.Moreover, the T2DM patients showed decreased fALFF values in bilateral middle occipital gyrus and precuneus (Left: cluster=102, t=-3.4806.Right: cluster=151, t=-5.1355.All P＜0.05) in frequency band slow-5.While in frequency band slow-4, the T2DM patients showed increased fALFF values in left inferior temporal gyrus (cluster=104, t=4.8631, P＜0.05), and decreased fALFF values in right lingual gyrus (cluster=91, t=-3.7146, P＜0.05).There was positive correlation between fALFF values of middle occipital gyrus and precuneus and AVLT immediate memory score (r=0.456, P=0.038).Conclusions T2DM patients exhibit abnormal spontaneous activity among brain regions associated with cognition, including brain regions related to default mode network on slow-5, and brain regions related to semantic cognition and visual information processing on slow-4.The abnormal regions exhibit different spatial patterns depending on the subbands of low-frequency fluctuations.

Objective The aim of this study was to describe the clinical outcomes and improvement of clivo-axial angle (CAA) during the posterior approach surgery of upper cervical anomaly instability patients.Methods All of 32 patients with symptomatic upper cervical anomaly instability were followed up from 2004 Apr.to 2014 Aug.in which 1 patient was excluded because of reoperation.There were 10 patients with OS odontiodeum,5 with odontoid deformity,4 with Klipple-Feil syndrome,4 with atlantoaxial dislocation,4 with atlantoaxial instability,1 with rheumatoid arthritis,1 with old odontoid fracture,1 with OS odontoideum and foramen magnum stenosis,1 with basilarinvagination and Klipple-Feil syndrome.They were all performed posterior reduction internal fixation and fusion,and then released spinal cord compression with the promotion of CAA.The patients were divided into two groups on the basis of decompression or not:non-decompression group 17 cases (male 8 cases,female 9 cases;age 13-65 years old,average 50.1 years old) and decompression group 14 cases (male 7 cases,female 7 cases;age 19-68 years old,average 49.6 years old).The CAA numbers were measured and compared.The clinic date was compared between preoperatively and postoperatively,which included Neck Disability Index and Nurick Classification System for Myelopathy.Results All patients were followed up,the follow-up time of non-decompression group was 0.7-10.7 years,average 2.9 years;the follow-up time of compression group was 0.3-5.5 years,average 2.9 years.Analysis of CAA,NDI and Nurick score were performed with t-test.The postoperative CAA,NDI and Nurick score improved significantly compared to preoperative ones.There was no difference between non-decompression group and decompression group.One patient felt nausea and vomited,one got soleal vein thrombosis,one had a swelling face and blurring vision and one had decompression syndrome after operation,all of these were improved using respectively therapy.No such serious complications as injury to vertebral artery,infection or internal fixation loosening occurred.Conclusion Neck ability and spinal cord function was significantly improved through increasing CAA for the upper cervical anomaly instability patients underwent posterior reduction internal fixation and fusion.
