Objective To analyze the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) curve characteristics in Chinese women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) or gestational impaired glucose test (GIGT) and to evaluate whether omission of the third-hour plasma glucose measurement of the OGTT could alter the sensitivity of the diagnosis on GDM,and whether there is a close relationship between plasma glucose values of 50 g glucose challenge test (50 g GCT) or OGTT and insulin therapy. Methods A retrospective analysis on medical records of 647 cases with GDM from January 1,1989 to December 31,2002 and 233 cases with GIGT were performed. Among 647 cases of GDM,535 were diagnosed by 75g OGTT. All OGTT (535 with GDM and 233 with GIGT) results were evaluated. Results There were 112 cases of GDM diagnosed by elevated fasting plasma glucose without OGTT performed. Of 535 cases of GDM diagnosed by OGTT,49.2% (263/535) women were with fasting plasma glucose value ≥5.8 mmol/L;90.1% (482/535) women with 1hr plasma glucose values ≥ 10. 6 mmol/L;64.7% (359/535) were with 2 hr plasma glucose levels ≥9.2 mmol/L. There were only 114 cases (21.3%) with abnormal 3 hr plasma glucose levels among 535 women with OGTT,and when 3 hr plasma glucose reached cutoff value,49.1% the other three values of OGTT were abnormal and 34.2% with the other two values of OGTT. Among 233 women with GIGT,only 4 cases with the abnormal 3 hr plasma glucose. We also investigate use of the glucose values for the first 2 hours of OGTT only missed 19 cases of GDM,still discriminated 516 cases. Omission of the third -hour glucose tolerance test value only resulted in failure to diagnose 2.9%(19/647) of GDM cases and 1.72%(4/233) of GIGT cases in Chinese women. Plasma glucose levels ≥11.2 mmol/L following 50 GCT were highly associated with GDM necessitating insulin therapy (75.4%). An elevated fasting plasma glucose level was also associated with insulin therapy (59.7%).Conclusion Omission of the third -hour glucose tolerance test value still yielded a higher sensitivity of 97.1%(628/647) of GDM cases and 98.2%(229/233) of GIGT cases in Chinese women. It is practicable to omit 3-hour post -glucose ingestion value of the OGTT in Chinese women. Plasma glucose levels ≥11.2mmol/L following 50g GCT indicated 75.4% cases of GDM necessitating insulin therapy.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the curative effect of traditional treatment and combination therapy for senile hip fracture.
METHODSUsing prospective methods to choose 300 cases of elderly patients with hip fractures from February 2011 to December 2012, which were randomly divided into comprehensive treatment group and conventional treatment group. After screening, 148 case were in comprehensive treatment group,including 62 males and 86 females with an average age of (78.76 +/- 7.32) years old ranging from 60 to 88; 45 cases were intertrochanteric fracture of femur, 103 cases were fracture of neck of femur; Singh index > or = IV in 74 cases, < IV in 74 cases;preoperative Harris score was 39.90 +/- 2.28. There were 146 cases in conventional treatment group,including 60 males and 86 females with an average age of (80.00 +/- 7.06) years old ranging from 66 to 96; 50 cases were intertrochanteric fracture of femur, 96 cases were fracture of neck of femur; Singh index > or = IV in 75 cases, < IV in 71 cases; preoperative Harris score was 40.10 +/- 2.81. Preoperative general situation,leaving bed time and hospital stay, the incidence of postoperative 12 weeks Singh index > or = IV and DPD/Cr value, Harris score at 12 months after operation and the incidence of fracture again of two groups were observed and compared.
RESULTSIn comprehensive treatment group 140 patients were followed up for 12 to 18 months with an anverage of 14.80 +/- 1.85. In conventional treatment group 132 patients were followed up for 12 to 14 months with an average of 12.75 +/- 0.79. There were no significant differences in age, gender, the classification of fracture, preoperative Harris hip score, preoperative Singh index > or = IV level and DPD/Cr value between the two groups (P > 0.05). Comprehensive treatment group had shorter leaving bed time and hospital stay, smaller postoperative 12 weeks DPD/Cr value and higher postoperative Harris score, higher incidence of postoperative 12 weeks Singh index > or = IV level, lower incidence of fracture again than conventional treatment group, there was statistically significant difference between two groups (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONFor the anti-osteoporosis effect, the comprehensive treatment group has more advantage than traditional treatment group in elderly hip fracture, which can further improve the elderly hip fracture treatment and provide the reference of evidence-based medicine cooperate with rehabilitation department.

Background and purpose:Cancer-related pain is one of the most important symptoms of patients with advanced cancer. Chemotherapy sometimes induces peripheral neuropathy and pain. These symptoms seriously affect patients’ quality of life. Cancer pain assessment is now achieved by the subjective scales of patients, but lacking objective measurement. In this study, we used the neurotic electrophysiological method by way of PainVision system (PV system) to evaluate cancer pain quantitatively to detect and analyze degree of chemotherapy-induced neuropathy. Methods:We obtained numerical rating scale (NRS) scores from patients receiving analgesics and calculated the PainRatio from PV system at the same time. Then we analyzed the relationship between NRS and PainRatio scores. We detected current perception threshold (CPT) levels of patients receiving chemotherapy to ifnd the correlation between chemotherapy and CPT level, and attempt to evaluate chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.Results:PainRatio scores were linearly associated with NRS scores (Pearson correlation coeffcient=0.849,P<0.001). Patients with neuropathy symptoms got higher CPTs. However, no statistically signiifcant difference was observed between patients treated with oxaliplatin, paclitaxel and other agents.Conclusion:PainVision system can be used in cancer pain assessment quan-titatively, and be helpful in cancer pain assessment objectively. Patients with deifned neuropathy showed higher CPTs, indicating the potential clinical value of PV system in detecting and evaluating chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.

Objective To investigate the application of respiratory navigator echo triggered black blood contrast FSE in cardiac MRI. Methods The respiratory navigator echo trigger technique combining with black blood FSE (NAV-FSE) was tested on 11 volunteers and 5 patients in free breathing,using breath-hold FSE (BH-FSE) with the same imaging protocals as control. The imaging efficiency and the image sharpness were compared between NAV-FSE and BH-FSE and t-test was used for the statistics. Results All NAV-FSE acquisitions were completed in sixteen subjects while 4 BH-FSE acquisitions failed because of poor breath holding. The efficiencies of NAV-FSE were (42. 95±11.50)%, (56. 14±11.40)% and (55.25± 14. 70)% when echo train length (ETL) were 24, 16 and 8, respectively. When ETL were 16 and 24, the sharpness of NAV-FSE ( 0. 43±0. 02 vs 0. 36±0. 02 ) and BH-FSE ( 0. 36±0. 03 vs 0. 35±0. 02 ) were statistically different (t =4. 26, 5. 53 ,respectively; P <0. 05). NAV-FSE could have a shorter ETL setting without consideration of breath holding. Conclusion The navigator echo trigger technique could be compatible with black blood contrast FSE to image the heart without the restriction of breath holding and it allows to optimize the parameters to improve the image quality.
