Objective To observe the efficacy of ealcitonin and bisphosphonates on renal osteopathy of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD)patients. Methods Forty-three MHD patients were raindomly divided into two groups: A group and B group. All the patients were routinely received oral calcium carbonate 1.0 g tid and calcitriol 0.25 μg qd. Calcitonin (20U) hypodermic injection was given three times a week additionally during hemodialysis in A group. Patients in B group received bisphosphonates 70 mg once a week based on the therapy of A group. Serum levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase (AKP), bone mass density (BMD) of lumbar spine and femoral neck, and the degree of bone ache (visual analogue scale, VAS) were assessed before the therapy and 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment. The adverse reactions were recorded during treatment. Results The levels of AKP and iPTH in both two groups decreased significantly after treatment. The above values of pre-treatment and 12 months after treatment were as follows: AKP(U/L)of A group 244.05±41.99 and 148.35±27.71,of B group 245.60±40.86 and 143.40±28.03;PTH(ng/L) of A group 697.5±119.7 and 267.4±45.9,of B group 708.2±120.3 and 277.6±41.9 (all P<0.05). While the levels of calcium and phosphorus did not change obviously during treatment (P>0.05). BMD was not improved at 3, 6 mouths and became better at 12 mouths after treatment. As compared to pre-treatment, BMD of lumbar spine(g/cm2) in A group was 1.062±0.223 vs 1.202±0.251 ,in B group 1.033±0.152 vs 1.189±0.225; BMD of femoral neck (g/cm2)in A group was 0.993±0.108 vs 1.067±0.095,in B group 0.947±0.083 vs 1.018 ±0.217 (all P<0.05). The scores of VAS also decreased significantly at 3, 6, 12 months after treatment(P<0.05). No severe adverse reaction was found during the treatment. Conclusions Utilization of calcitonin and combination with bisphosphonates during bemodialysis can effectively preserve the BMD and prevent bone loss in MHD patients and is well tolerated. No significant difference of therapeutic effect is observed between using ealcitonin or combination with bisphosphonates.

Objective:To investivate the relationship of serum estradiol and oxidative stress with microcirculation resistance in women with syndrome X.Methods:A total of 120 patients with syndrome X who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology in Guangzhou First People's Hospital from January 2015 to January 2019 were enrolled. All patients underwent coronary angiography and pressure wire examination and were divided into two groups according to the index of microcirculation resistance (IMR). Forty healthy people in the medical examination center were used as controls in the same period. The level of serum estradiol, interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured among three groups.Results:The rate of diabetes mellitus in high IMR group was higher than that in control group and low IMR group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between low IMR group and control group ( P>0.05). The levels of serum estradiol and SOD were significantly lower in high IMR group than those in low IMR group and control group. The levels of IL-1 and TNF-α were significantly higher in high IMR group than those in low IMR group and control group ( P<0.05). These indexes have the same relationship between low-IMR group and control group ( P<0.05). The level of serum estradiol was negatively correlated with the levels of IL-1 and TNF-α in high and low IMR groups and positively correlated with the level of SOD in these groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes, low serum estradiol level, low SOD level, high IL-1 level, high TNF-α level were the independent risk factors for microcirculation resistance in women with syndrome X ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The decreased serum estradiol is an important factor for coronary microcirculation disorders in women with syndrome X. The decrease of serum estradiol level leads to the loss of the corresponding antagonistic effect in oxidative stress state, which may be one of the important mechanisms of the formation and progress of coronary microcirculation disorder.

Objective To explore the effectiveness and esophageal strictures of concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with cervical and upper-thoracic esophageal cancer (EC) and middle-thoracic and lower-thoracic EC.Methods Between January 2011 and December 2014,ninety patients with different parts of EC were treated with radiotherapy combined with concurrent chemotherapy in People's Hospital of Subei.The median irradiation dose was 60 Gy.The chemotherapy regimens consisted of Paclitaxel and Nedaplatin.Of all the patients,48 patients had cervical and upper-thoracic EC,42 patients had middle-thoracic and lowerthoracic EC.The response rates,the local control rates,the survival rates and esophageal strictures were evaluated between two groups.Results The follow-up rate was 100％.The response rates of the patients with cervical and upper-thoracic EC and middle-thoracic and lower-thoracic EC were 81.2％ and 73.8％ (x2 =0.717,P =0.397),respectively.The 1-year local control rates of the patients with cervical and upper-thoracic EC and middle-thoracic and lower-thoracic EC were 90.3％ and 71.8％ (x2 =5.865,P =0.015),respectively.The 1-year survival rates of the patients with cervical and upper-thoracic EC and middle-thoracic and lower-thoracic EC were 87.5％ and 69.0％ (x2 =4.580,P =0.032),respectively.The moderate-to-severe esophageal strictures rates of the patients with cervical and upper-thoracic EC and middle-thoracic and lower-thoracic EC were 55.6％ and 29.4％ (x2 =5.360,P =0.021),respectively.There were no significant differences in shortterm effects between the cervical and upper-thoracic EC and middle-thoracic and lower-thoracic EC.The patients with cervical and upper-thoracic EC showed significantly higher 1-year local control rates,1-year survival rates and esophageal strictures rates than those with middle-thoracic and lower-thoracic EC.Conclusion The effectiveness of concurrent chemoradiotherapy is better in the patients with cervical and upper-thoracic EC than in those with middle-thoracic and lower-thoracic EC,but the esophageal stenosis is more severe in the patients with cervical and upper-thoracic EC than in those with middle-thoracic and lower-thoracic EC.
