AIM To observe the effects of Guhoukang Granules (Eucommiae Cortex,Dipsaci Radix,Corni Fructus,etc.) on bone metabolism indexes of the geriatric femoral intertrochanteric fracture.METHODS A total of eighty patients meeting the inclusion criteria,cured with fixed operation of proximal femoral anti-rotation nail and given basic care,were divided randomly and equally into two groups:experiment group (Guhoukang Granules ) and control group (calcium carbonate D3 tablets).Three months made a course.Osteocalcin (OC),calcitonin (CT),bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP),total procollagen type 1 aminoterminal propeptide (tPINP),β isomer of the C-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen (β-CTX),and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH),were examined before and after three months,respectively.RESULTS There were no significant statistical difference in the levels of OC,CT,BALP,tPINP,β-CTX and iPTH before operation in both groups.The levels of OC,CT,BALP,tPINP in the experiment group obviously increased and the levels of β-CTX,iPTH markedly decreased after the operation,and were better than those in the experiment group pre-operation and in the control group after the operation.The control group had no improvement in bone metabolism indexes pre-and post-operation.CONCLUSION Guhoukang Granules can improve bone metabolism of the geriatric femoral intertrochanteric fracture and facilitate the recovery of the fracture.

Objective:To observe the clinical characteristics of primary retinitis pigmentosa (RP) complicated with glaucoma.Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From June 2008 to March 2020, the diagnosis of primary RP were included in the diagnosis confirmed by the eye examination of West China Hospital of Sichuan University included 4794 eyes of 2432 patients. Among them, 4679 eyes (97.2%, 2364/2432) were in 2364 cases with RP alone, and 115 eyes were in 68 cases with RP combined with glaucoma (2.80%, 68/2432). All affected eyes underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intraocular pressure examination. The BCVA examination was carried out using the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted into the logarithmic minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity during statistics. The 67 eyes of 40 patients with RP and glaucoma with complete follow-up data were analyzed to observe the proportion of different glaucoma types, logMAR BCVA, intraocular pressure and other clinical characteristics, as well as treatment methods and post-treatment intraocular pressure control. After treatment, the intraocular pressure ≤21 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) was regarded as intraocular pressure (IOP) control; >21 mm Hg was regarded as uncontrolled IOP.Results:Among the 67 eyes of 40 cases with complete follow-up data, 5 cases (7 eyes) with primary open-angle glaucoma (10.45%, 7/67), 56 cases (58 eyes) with angle-closure glaucoma (ACG) (86.57%, 58/67), 4 cases (4 eyes) with neovascular glaucoma (5.97%, 4/67), 2 of them had both ACG and neovascular glaucoma. Among 58 ACG eyes, 17 eyes were acute ACG (25.37%, 17/67), 21 eyes were chronic ACG (31.34%, 21/67), and 2 eyes were suspicious angle closure (2.99%, 2/67), lens dislocation secondary to angle-closure glaucoma in 8 eyes (11.94%, 8/67), chronic angle-closure glaucoma after anti-glaucoma surgery, intraocular lens shift in 5 eyes (7.46%, 5/67), 5 eyes (7.46%, 5/67) secondary to glaucoma with true small eyeballs. The logMAR BCVA 3.50 of the affected eye,<3.50->2.00, ≤2.00-≥1.30,<1.30->1.00, ≤1.00- 0.52,<0.52 were 9 (13.43%, 9/67), 30 (44.78%, 30/ 67), 7 (10.45%, 7/67), 4 (5.97%, 4/67), 11 (16.42%, 11/67), 6 (8.96%, 6/67) eyes, which correspond to mean intraocular pressure were 32.31±11.67, 30.15±14.85, 28.17±13.19, 31.50±17.25, 18.71±8.85, 14.12±4.25 mm Hg. Among 67 eyes, 37eyes (55.22%, 37/67), 18eyes (26.86%, 18/67), and 6 (8.96%, 6/67) eyes underwent surgery, medication alone, and peripheral iris laser perforation treatment, respectively. The treatment of 6 eyes was abandoned (8.96%, 6/67). Malignant glaucoma occurred in 3 eyes (8.11 %, 3/37) after the operation, all of which were after trabeculectomy of the ACG eye. After treatment, intraocular pressure was controlled in 37 eyes (55.22%, 37/67), 19 eyes were not controlled (28.36%, 19/67), and 11 eyes were lost to follow-up (16.42%, 11/67).Conclusions:The incidence of glaucoma in patients with primary RP is 2.80%. ACG is more common, and the combined lens dislocation or intraocular lens shift is more common.

By analysing the similarity between defense qi and leukocytes in terms of function, site of action, and circadian rhythm, it is proposed that in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the pathogenesis of leukopenia is defense qi deficiency. By analyzing the relevant discussions on the generation and transmission of defense qi in TCM classics, it is believed that the original qi in lower jiao (焦) is the source of defense qi, while the water and grain qi in middle jiao enriches defense qi, and the upper jiao transmits and distributes defense qi to the whole body. Therefore, when treating leukopenia after chemotherapy with TCM, Guilu Erxian Gelatin (龟鹿二仙胶) and Yougui Pill (右归丸) are often used to tonify the kidney and supplement essence, and moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV 4) and Qihai (CV 6) is usually accompanied to replenish the original qi in lower jiao and enrich the source of defense qi. Guipi Decoction (归脾汤), Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (补中益气汤), Shenling Baizhu Powder (参苓白术散), and Sijunzi Decoction (四君子汤) are often suggested to strengthen spleen and replenish qi, in combination with moxibustion at Zhongwan (CV 12) and Zusanli (ST 36) to transport the spleen and stomach in the middle jiao to enrich the defense qi. Modified Guizhi Decoction (桂枝汤) to harmonize nutrient and defensive aspects is often used, and moxibustion at Dazhui (GV 14) and Feishu (BL 13) or scraping is added to dredge the striae and interstice in the upper jiao and promote transmission and dissemination of the defense qi. Considering the whole process of generation and distribution of defense qi, it is suggested to choose the most appropriate treatment modality flexibly, and combine internal treatment with external treatment, in order to provide ideas for the treatment of leukopenia in tumour patients.

Objective To study the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens in patients with lung cancer,and analyze the prevention strategies. Methods A total of 312 cases of lung cancer patients with infection treated in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2021 were selected as the research objects.The lower respiratory tract secretions,urine and feces were collected for pathogen culture and drug sensitivity test;the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens were analyzed,and the corresponding prevention strategies were formulated. Results Of the 312 patients, 165 (52.88%) had respiratory tract infection, 79 (25.32%) had oropharyngeal infection, and 68 (21.80%) had urinary tract infection.The highest proportion was respiratory infection.Among the 312 patients,398 pathogens were detected of which 212 Gram-positive bacterias (53.27%)were found of which Staphylococcus epidermidis(15.58%)and Staphylococcus aureus(13.07%)accounted for a relatively high proportion. Among 175 Gram-negative strains,Klebsiella pneumoniae(15.94%)and E.coli (10.05% ) accounted for a large proportion.The resistance rate of Gram-positive bacteria,such as Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus,to amikacin,gentamicin and penicillin,was more than 50%,which was sensitive to vancomycin. Gram negative bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and E.coli have high resistance to common antibiotics,and the drug resistance rate to cefepime and cefazolin is more than 50%,and sensitive to imipenem/cilastatin and imipenem/cilastatin.Among 11 fungi,4 cases were resistant to fluconazole , 36.36%,3 to itraconazole,27.27%,0 to ketoconazole and voriconazole,0.00%. Conclusion The distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in patients with lung cancer infection in our hospital have certain characteristics,in which Gram-positive bacteria are mainly Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus,Gram-negative bacteria are mainly Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli,and there are also a small number of fungal infections.Therefore,we should strengthen the monitoring of etiology and drug resistance,and strengthen the management of hospital disinfection Drug sensitivity results of patients,rational use of antibiotics,so as to improve the treatment effect and reduce the risk of infection.
