Objective:To investigate the efficacy of lanthanum carbonate versus calcium acetate in the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis. Methods:A total of 202 patients with chronic renal failure who received maintenance hemodialysis in Department of Nephrology, Yiwu Central Hospital from March 2016 to January 2017 were included in this study. These patients were on dialysis for ≥ 6 months with blood phosphorus level > 1.78 mmol/L before dialysis. They were randomly divided into the lanthanum carbonate ( n = 100) and calcium acetate ( n =102) groups. Two patients in the lanthanum carbonate group withdrew from the study due to intolerance of vomiting. All patients were treated for 9 months. During the study period, low calcium dialysate was rationally used, and strict dietary phosphate restriction was applied. The changes in serum phosphorus, calcium and parathyroid hormone contents before and after treatment were compared between the two groups, and they were compared between before and after treatment in each group. Results:During the treatment, the average dose of phosphate binder was 1 500 mg/d in the lanthanum carbonate group and 3 335 mg/d in the calcium acetate group. There were no significant differences in general demographic data and biochemical indexes between the two groups (both P > 0.05). No significant differences in dietary phosphorus content and dialysate calcium concentration were observed between the two groups (both P > 0.05). In the calcium acetate group, blood phosphorus content decreased from (2.12 ± 0.35) mmol/L before treatment to (1.55 ± 0.24) mmol/L after treatment ( t = 13.43, P < 0.01). In the lanthanum carbonate group, blood phosphorus content decreased from (2.14 ± 0.3) mmol/L before treatment to (1.45 ± 0.17) mmol/L after treatment ( t = 20.01, P < 0.01). In the lanthanum carbonate group, the difference in blood phosphorus content between before and after treatment was (0.69 ± 0.29) mmol/L, which was significantly higher than that in the calcium acetate group [(0.57 ± 0.37) mmol/L, t = 2.553, P < 0.01]. Hypercalcemia did not occur in both groups, and there were no significant differences in carotid intima thickening and presence of calcified plaque between the two groups (both P > 0.05). Conclusion:Under the premise of effectively implementing rational low calcium dialysate use and strict dietary phosphate restriction, both calcium acetate and lanthanum carbonate can effectively reduce the blood phosphorus level in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Lanthanum carbonate has better effect in reducing serum phosphorus level than calcium acetate, but it is likely to produce gastrointestinal reactions. Neither treatment method bears the risk of hypercalcemia.

【Objective】 To retrospectively analyze the transfusion records of COVID-19 patients from Feb to Mar 2020 in the Optical Valley Branch of Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, and summarize the clinical features and blood use of those patients. 【Methods】 1) The utilization of blood components in 81 blood recipients were collected and retrospectively analyzed; 2) Propensity score matching (PSM, by the clinical classification of COVID-19) was used to match the transfused and non-transfused patients according to the ratio of 1∶2, and the clinical features of the two groups were compared. 【Results】 The total transfusion rate in our hospital was 5.5%(81/1 463), among which 88.9%(72/81)transfused red blood cell (RBC). Ten patients received RBC transfusion > 20 U, consumed 48.3%(330/680)RBC, 57.5%(53 500/93 100)plasma, 36.2%(42/116)platelets, and 62.3%(114.25/183.25)cryoprecipitates due to ECMO or gastrointestinal bleeding. Compared to non-transfused patients, transfused patients showed worse lab-indexes related to inflammation, infection, and coagulation at admission, higher incidences of acute liver, kidney and cardiac injury, admission to the ICU and mortality(P<0.01). 【Conclusion】 The related functional indexes and prognosis of transfused COVID-19 patients were significantly worse than non-transfused ones. RBC transfusions were dominant, and massive blood transfusions were seldom.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and establish a corresponding prognostic scoring model in patients with early-stage clinical features of hepatitis B-induced acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF).Methods:Clinical characteristics of 725 cases with hepatitis B-related acute-on-chronic hepatic dysfunction (HBV-ACHD) were retrospectively analyzed using Chinese group on the study of severe hepatitis B (COSSH). The independent risk factors associated with 90-day prognosis to establish a prognostic scoring model was analyzed by multivariate Cox regression, and was validated by 500 internal and 390 external HBV-ACHD patients.Results:Among 725 cases with HBV-ACHD, 76.8% were male, 96.8% had cirrhosis base,66.5% had complications of ascites, 4.1% had coagulation failure in respect to organ failure, and 9.2% had 90-day mortality rate. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that TBil, WBC and ALP were the best predictors of 90-day mortality rate in HBV-ACHD patients. The established scoring model was COSS-HACHADs = 0.75 × ln(WBC) + 0.57 × ln(TBil)-0.94 × ln(ALP) +10. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of subjects was significantly higher than MELD, MELD-Na, CTP and CLIF-C ADs( P < 0.05). An analysis of 500 and 390 cases of internal random selection group and external group had similar verified results. Conclusion:HBV-ACHD patients are a group of people with decompensated cirrhosis combined with small number of organ failure, and the 90-day mortality rate is 9.2%. COSSH-ACHDs have a higher predictive effect on HBV-ACHD patients' 90-day prognosis, and thus provide evidence-based medicine for early clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:
To explore the effects of multiple free homologous superficial peroneal artery perforator flaps of crus for repair of multiple hand wounds.
Methods:
From November 2017 to December 2018, eight cases with eighteen hand wounds were hospitalized in our unit. Among them, wounds were distributed in the forefinger and middle finger in four cases, wounds were distributed in the middle finger and ring finger in two cases, wounds were distributed in the forefinger, middle finger, and ring finger in one case, and wounds were distributed in the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger in one case. The area of skin defect ranged from 1.5 cm×0.8 cm to 4.0 cm×3.0 cm. There were 4 males and 4 females, aged 34-62 years. Wounds of six cases were repaired by two free superficial peroneal artery perforator flaps from homolateral crus, and those of two cases were repaired by three free superficial peroneal artery perforator flaps from homolateral crus. Superficial peroneal artery and its accompanying vein of flap were anastomosed by end to end with digital artery and palmar or dorsal subcutaneous vein of recipient site during the operation. The area of flap ranged from 2.5 cm×1.2 cm to 5.0 cm×4.0 cm. No nerve was harvested during the operation, and donor site was sutured directly. The survival of the flaps and the healing of donor sites were recorded. During follow-up, the recovery of donor and recipient sites was observed.
Results:
All flaps survived well, donor site healed well. No vascular crisis occurred. Follow-up for 4 to 12 months showed that the appearance of flap was satisfactory with good color, texture, elasticity, and function. Protective sensation of recipient site was recovered. Five months after operation, flap of finger pulp in one case was swollen slightly with two-points discrimination of 10 mm, which received the thinning surgery. Obvious scar formation was not observed in donor site of crus. The appearance of the donor site was good without functional damage.
Conclusions
The application of multiple free homologous superficial peroneal artery perforator flaps of crus to repair the multiple hand wounds has advantages of easy acquisition, easy operation, little effect on donor sites, and satisfactory clinical effects.

Objective To explore the effect of self-care agency on frailty syndrome in hospitalized elderly patients.Methods A total of 102 hospitalized elderly patients were recruited by convenience sampling method and investigated by cross-sectional survey. The prevalence of frailty was evaluated by frailty phenotype, and socio-demographic characteristics scale and exercise of self-care agency scale were used to evaluated these patients.Results The prevalence of frailty syndrome were 31.4%(32/102). The total score of self-care agency scale was (104.38±20.20). Univariate analysis showed that the prevalence of frailty syndrome in elderly was statistically different in the age, household income, career, the number of chronic disease, the use of medication and self-assessment of health (P<0.05). Compared with no-frailty elderly, the self-care agency, especially self-worth of frailty syndrome patients reduced significantly(P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression indicated that self-care skills (OR=0.775, 95%CI: 0.641-0.937) and self-worth (OR=0.585,95%CI: 0.424-0.807) were significant protective factors of frailty syndrome.Conclusions The poorer self-care skills and self-worth of the elderly, the higher prevalence of frailty syndrome. Raising the level of self-care agency actively can help to prevent or improve frailty syndrome.

Objective To investigate the relationship between health literacy and cognitive function in elderly inpatients.Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 216 elderly people who were admitted to a class Ⅲ grade A hospital by convenience sampling. Social demographic characteristics scale, questionnaire on Chinese citizens' health literacy and minimum mental state examination were used in this survey.Results The health literacy score of elderly inpatients was (64.33±12.79) and the cognitive function score was(26.52±2.27). The scores of health literacy and cognitive function had moderate correlation in hospitalized elderly patients (r=0.52,P<0.05). The single factor analysis showed that the health literacy of the elderly inpatients was statistical different in the education level,the average monthly family income,occupation, chronic disease and cognitive function (P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that educational level,cognitive function,occupational and chronic diseases were independent factors of health literacy among the elderly inpatients.Conclusions The cognitive function of elderly inpatients varies greatly, and the higher level of cognitive function is a protective factor for the health literacy of elderly inpatients. It is an important approach to improve health literacy among elderly patients in hospital by lowering the burden of cognitive function to communicate health information.
