Objectives:This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the CHA 2DS 2-VASc score for in-hospital outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods:Data of 23 728 patients from the China patient-centered Evaluative Assessment of cardiac Events (China PEACE)Retrospective Acute Myocardial Infarction Study were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were categorized into 3 groups according to the CHA 2DS 2-VASc scores: the low score group (score 1-3), the middle score group (score 4-6) and the high score group (score 7-9). The in-hospital outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), death, death or withdrawal from treatment, reinfarction, ischemic stroke,etc. The CHA 2DS 2-VASc score was incorporated into multivariate Cox regression analyses to determine its independent impact on in-hospital outcomes. Receiver operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed, and the area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the predictive value of the CHA 2DS 2-VASc score for in-hospital mortality and death or withdrawal from treatment, respectively. Results:The patients had a median age of 66 (56,75) years, and 30.7% of them were females. Patients with higher CHA 2DS 2-VASc scores had a higher in-hospital mortality and more in-hospital complications (all P<0.001). After adjustment of baseline covariates, the subjects in the high score group were associated with high risks of in-hospital mortality ( OR=6.13, 95% CI 4.77-7.87, P<0.001), death or treatment withdrawal ( OR=6.43, 95% CI 5.16-8.00, P<0.001) and MACE ( OR=4.94, 95% CI 4.06-6.01, P<0.001). The AUCs of the CHA 2DS 2-VASc score were comparable with those of the mini-global registry of acute coronary events(mini-GRACE)score in evaluation of in-hospital mortality (0.699 vs. 0.696, P=0.752) and the death or treatment withdrawal risk (0.708 vs. 0.713, P=0.489). Conclusions:The CHA 2DS 2-VASc score is an independent predictor of in-hospital outcomes for patients with AMI. Its predictive value was comparable with the mini-GRACE score, which could be used as a simple tool for early and rapid outcome evaluation for AMI patients.

Objective To assess effectiveness of ketogenic diet on improving polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients accompanying with overweight and obesity. Methods A total of 72 PCOS patients planned to recruit in our study from December 29, 2018 to June 2019 were selected, and were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The control group was given routine treatment and suggestions of life style, while the experimental group carried out ketogenic diet intervention alone for three months. All patients were followed up every day and rechecked monthly. The safety and effectiveness indexes of the two groups were observed. Results A total of fifty patients had been recruited until March 30, 2019, but one patient was lost in the follow-up. As a result, there were totally twenty-five patients in the experimental group with one patient lost in follow-up. In the remaining twenty-four patients, 75% of these patients had recovered spontaneous menstruation in good condition. Ten patients who have been intervened over one month accepted the first re-examination. The results showed that the patient's weight, the body fat rate and the level of androgen detected in venous blood were all reduced after ketogenic diet after the intervention (P < 0. 01), which revealed that the effect of ketogenic diet's intervention for PCOS was significant in the short term. Conclusion Ketogenic diet intervene in PCOS effectively restore spontaneous menstruation in patients for one month, the state of hyperandrogenism is significantly improved. Other hormones show improvement trends, but no significant difference compared with baseline. The mid-term and final reports of KIDs-001 are worthy of the wait.

Anterior shoulder instability is a very difficult issue to treat,especially with glenoid bone defect.When the defect is small,there is little influence on shoulder instability.The larger the defect is,the more influence there will be.Most authors agree that glenoid bone reconstruction should be considered when glenoid bone defect is more than 20%-25%.In this condition soft tissue procedures alone are not enough to provide stability to the shoulder.To date,there is still not an ideal typing of glenoid bone defect.There are many methods of assessing the size of bone defect.Pico system is one of the most common methods,as it is easier and more precise.Numerous surgical procedures have been described to address the bone defect.The Bristow procedure,the Latarjet procedure and the Eden-hybinette procedure are effective and most popular around the world.The Latarjet procedure can provide more bone blocking than the Bristow procedure,and is more popular.The Eden-hybinette procedure dose not need coracoid transfer and then has no damage of normal anatomical structure.But it also lack the hanging effect of the conjoint tendon.After all,each procedure has its advantage and disadvantage in treating anterior shoulder instability associated with glenoid bone defect and should be chosen depending on the characteristics of each patient and the preference of each surgeon.Furthermore,more new and effective treatments are still needed.
