Objective To explore the relation between the Integrin alpha 2 (ITGA2)-807 C/T gene and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in Han nationality in northern part of Guangxi. Methods 206 patients with type-2 diabetes were selected from the hospital. According to the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) standards, 206 patients with type-2 diabetes were divided into diabetes without diabetic nephropathy (T2DM) and DN group, and 90 healthy people were selected as normal control (NC) group. The plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels were measured by routine method.And the genotypes and allele frequencies distribution were assessed by Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results compared with the control group,plasma total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in DN group blood were significantly higher (P < 0.05). ITGA2 gene - 807 - c/T genotype distribution and allele frequency in DN group were statistically significant (P<0.05). CT+TT genotypes and T allele frequency in DN group were significantly higher than control group (P<0.05).The relative risk for DN in subjects carrying T allele was 1.72 times of that in the C allele carriers(OR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.72 ~ 2.517). And compared with control group and the DN group, ITGA2 gene-807-c/T genotype distribution and allele frequency differences in T2DM group had no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Conclusions The polymorphism of ITGA2-807C/T gene is associated with the development of DN in Han nationality in northern part of Guangxi. The T allele may be a genetic susceptibility genes for DN, which may promote the level of TC high expression and increase the risk of DN.

Timely reporting, effective analyses and rapid distribution of surveillance data can assist in detecting the aberration of disease occurrence and further facilitate a timely response. In China, a new nationwide web-based automated system for outbreak detection and rapid response was developed in 2008. The China Infectious Disease Automated-alert and Response System (CIDARS) was developed by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention based on the surveillance data from the existing electronic National Notifiable Infectious Diseases Reporting Information System (NIDRIS) started in 2004. NIDRIS greatly improved the timeliness and completeness of data reporting with real time reporting information via the Internet. CIDARS further facilitates the data analysis, aberration detection, signal dissemination, signal response and information communication needed by public health departments across the country. In CIDARS, three aberration detection methods are used to detect the unusual occurrence of 28 notifiable infectious diseases at the county level and to transmit that information either in real-time or on a daily basis. The Internet, computers and mobile phones are used to accomplish rapid signal generation and dissemination, timely reporting and reviewing of the signal response results. CIDARS has been used nationwide since 2008; all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in China at the county, prefecture, provincial and national levels are involved in the system. It assists with early outbreak detection at the local level and prompts reporting of unusual disease occurrences or potential outbreaks to CDCs throughout the country.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of intelligent visualization system (HoloSight Intelligent Visualization System) assisted reduction and screw fixation in the treatment of elderly pelvic fragility fracture.Methods:From January 2016 to December 2022, clinical data of 18 elderly patients aged over 75 years with pelvic fragility fractures surgically treated by our team were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 11 cases were treated with closed reduction and hand-inserted percutaneous screw fixation to fix the posterior pelvic ring (control group), and 7 cases were treated with the assistance of the HoloSight intelligent visualization system for reduction and minimally invasive fixation (experimental group). In the control group, there were 3 males and 8 females with an age range of 75-94 years (mean age, 82±12 years). The pelvic fractures were classified as FFP type IIIa in 5 cases, IIIb in 2 cases, IIIc in 3 cases, and IV in 1 case. In the experimental group, there were 1 male and 6 females with an age range of 76-100 years (mean age. 83±14 years). The pelvic fractures were classified as FFP type IIIa in 4 cases, IIIc in 2 cases, and IV in 1 case. The surgical time, blood loss, effective intraoperative fluoroscopy times, fracture reduction quality (according to Matta standards), visual analogue scale (VAS), limb function rehabilitation (Majeed score) and postoperative complications were recorded and evaluated in both groups.Results:All patients underwent surgery successfully and were followed up for 6 months to 3 years(12 months on average), all pelvic fractures healed. Among the 7 cases of experimental group, a total of 13 screws were placed, and the adjustment times of guide pin for each screw were 3±1 times (range, 1-5 times), while 18 screws of the control group with the adjustment times of 7±2 times (range, 4-10 times), statistical difference was present ( t=6.99, P<0.001). The surgical time in experimental group (63±12 min) was shorter than that in control group 88±23 min, while effective intraoperative fluoroscopy times in experimental group (9±3 times) was less than that in control group (35±7 times), the difference were both statistically significant ( t=2.69, P=0.016; t=9.22, P<0.001). The intraoperative blood loss was 38±12 ml in the experimental group and 55±26 ml in control group, with no significant difference ( t=1.61, P=0.127). According to Matta's reduction criteria after surgery, the results of experimental group were excellent in 4 cases, good in 2, and fair in 1, while the result of control group were excellent in 5 cases, good in 3, fair in 2, and poor in 1. At the last follow-up, among the patients in experimental group, the Majeed score was 84±11, excellent in 3 cases, good in 2, and fair in 2. In control group, the score was 79±17, with excellent in 5 cases, good in 3, fair in 3. No statistical difference was observed in two groups ( t=0.69, P=0.501). The VAS was 6.4±2.6 preoperatively and 2.4±0.8 postoperatively in the experimental group, while in the control group was 6.9±3.1 preoperatively and 2.7±1.3 postoperatively, the data suggested an improvement in both groups ( t=3.89, P=0.002; t=4.14, P<0.001), while no statistical significant was observed in two groups at last follow-up ( t=0.55, P=0.593). Two cases of experimental group had loosening or withdrawal of the fixation screws in 9 and 12 months, but the fractures healed. Four cases of control group loose fixation screws in 4, 6, 9, and 12 months, two cases underwent revision surgery and other two cases healed. Conclusion:Intelligent visualization system assisted reduction and screw fixation in the treatment of elderly pelvic fragility fractures have the advantages of good reduction, accurate nail placement, less bleeding, less effective fluoroscopy, which improves the safety of surgery.
5.Progress in research into osteotomy correction for old pelvic fractures
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma 2023;25(9):824-828
Treatment of a pelvic fracture may be delayed frequently because other systemic multiple injuries are more critical and need urgent operative management, rendering the pelvic fracture obsolete. Old pelvic fractures are often accompanied by chronic pain, pelvic ring deformity, limb shortening and gait instability, which usually need to be corrected by osteotomy. There have been no standard procedures but controversy lasts in osteotomy correction for pelvic malunion. This paper reviews the current related literature to summarize the advances in research of osteotomy correction for pelvic fracture malunion, hoping to provide reference for the treatment of old pelvic fractures.

OBJECTIVEFor providing evidences for further modification of China Infectious Diseases Automated-alert and Response System (CIDARS) by comparing the early-warning performance of the temporal model and temporal-spatial model in CIDARS.
METHODSThe application performance for outbreak detection of temporal model and temporal-spatial model simultaneously running among 208 pilot counties in 20 provinces from 2011 to 2013 was compared; the 16 infectious diseases were divided into two classes according to the disease incidence level; cases data in nationwide Notifiable Infectious Diseases Reporting Information System was combined with outbreaks reported to Public Health Emergency Reporting System, by adopting the index of the number of signals, sensitivity, false alarm rate and time for detection.
RESULTSThe overall sensitivity of temporal model and temporal-spatial model for 16 diseases was 96.23% (153/159) and 90.57% (144/159) respectively, without significant difference (Z = -1.604, P = 0.109), and the false alarm rate of temporal model (1.57%, 57 068/3 643 279) was significantly higher than that of temporal-spatial model (0.64%, 23 341/3 643 279) (Z = -3.408, P = 0.001), while the median time for detection of these two models was not significantly different, which was 3.0 days and 1.0 day respectively (Z = -1.334, P = 0.182).For 6 diseases of type I which represent the lower incidence, including epidemic hemorrhagic fever,Japanese encephalitis, dengue, meningococcal meningitis, typhus, leptospirosis, the sensitivity was 100% for both models (8/8, 8/8), and the false alarm rate of both temporal model and temporal-spatial model was 0.07% (954/1 367 437, 900/1 367 437), with the median time for detection being 2.5 days and 3.0 days respectively. The number of signals generated by temporal-spatial model was reduced by 2.29% compared with that of temporal model.For 10 diseases of type II which represent the higher incidence, including mumps, dysentery, scarlet fever, influenza, rubella, hepatitis E, acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, hepatitis A, typhoid and paratyphoid, and other infectious diarrhea, the sensitivity of temporal model was 96.03% (145/151), and the sensitivity of temporal-spatial model was 90.07% (136/151), the number of signals generated by temporal-spatial model was reduced by 59.36% compared with that of temporal model. Compared to temporal model, temporal-spatial model reduced both the number of signals and the false alarm rate of all the type II diseases;and the median of outbreak detection time of temporal model and temporal-spatial model was 3.0 days and 1.0 day, respectively.
CONCLUSIONOverall, the temporal-spatial model had better outbreak detection performance, but the performance of two different models varies for infectious diseases with different incidence levels, and the adjustment and optimization of the temporal model and temporal-spatial model should be conducted according to specific infectious disease in CIDARS.
