Diabetic retinopathy(DR)is a common complication of diabetes.Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2(SGLT-2)inhibitors are widely used in diabetic patients as hypoglycemic drugs and also play a role in the prevention and treatment of DR.At present,there has been no systematic study on the clinical treatment of DR by SGLT-2 inhibitors.This paper re-views the research progress of SGLT-2 inhibitors in the treatment of DR,in order to provide more ideas for the clinical treatment of DR.

Objective To observe the value of ultrasound-guided intra-articular injection of hypertonic glucose(HG)for treating knee osteoarthritis in plateau area.Methods Ninety-one patients with knee osteoarthritis in plateau area(124 affected knee joints)were enrolled.The knee joints were divided into 20％HG group(n=67),25％HG group(n=42)or sodium hyaluronate group(n=15)based on the medication.Clinical and ultrasound scores were compared before and after treatment,and the efficacy of injection of HG was evaluated.Results At the 12th and 48th weeks after treatment,visual analog scale(VAS)scores decreased in all 3 groups(all P＜0.05),and Lysholm scores of 20％HG group and 25％HG group increased compared to those before treatment(all P＜0.05).The difference of Lysholm score before and in the 12th week after treatment,and of VAS score before and in the 48th week after treatment of 25％HG group were higher than those of 20％HG group(both P＜0.05).The joint exudation score of 20％HG group decreased in the 48th week after treatment compared to that before treatment(P＜0.05),and the synovial blood flow score decreased in the 12th and 48th weeks after treatment compared to those before treatment(both P＜0.05).The joint exudation score of 25％HG group decreased in the 48th week after treatment compared to that before treatment(P＜0.05),and the synovial hyperplasia and synovial blood flow score decreased in the 12th and 48th weeks after treatment compared to before treatment(all P＜0.05).The joint exudation score of sodium hyaluronate group decreased in the 48th week after treatment compared to that before treatment(P＜0.05),and the synovial hyperplasia score decreased in the 12th and 48th weeks after treatment compared to that before treatment(both P＜0.05).Conclusion Ultrasound-guided intra-articular injection of HG,esp.25％HG,had certain value for treating knee osteoarthritis in plateau area.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the anti-pulmonary fibrosis effect of linarin in vivo and in vitro， and investigate its mechanism preliminarily. METHODS C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal group （carboxymethylcellulose sodium）， model group （carboxymethylcellulose sodium）， positive control group （pirfenidone， 200 mg/kg）， linarin low-dose and high-dose groups （12.5， 25 mg/kg）， with 8 mice in each group. Except for normal group， pulmonary fibrosis model was induced in other groups. After modeling， they were given relevant medicine intragastrically， once a day， for consecutive 14 d. The general situation of mice was observed， and their lung indexes were measured； the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and transforming growth factor-β1（ TGF-β1） in serum and interleukin-6 （IL-6） in lung tissue were determined. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and Masson staining were used to observe the histopathological morphology of lung. The pulmonary fibrosis was scored according to Ashcroft score standard. The expressions of α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） and （type Ⅰ collagen， Collagen Ⅰ）， phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase （p-ERK1/2） and TGF-β1 in lung tissues were detected. HFL1 cells were stimulated by TGF- β1 to form pulmonary fibrosis model in vitro， which were divided into normal group， model group and linarin low-， medium- and high-concentration groups （3.7， 7.4， 14.8 mg/L）. After being cultured for 48 h， the protein expressions of α-SMA， Collagen Ⅰ and p-ERK1/2 in HFL1 cells were detected. RESULTS In vivo， compared with normal group， the lung index of model group and the levels of TNF- α， TGF- β1 and IL-6 were significantly increased （P＜0.01）. There were a large number of inflammatory infiltration and cellular fibrosis lesions in the alveoli， and a large number of collagen depositions. The scores of HE staining and Masson staining were significantly increased （P＜0.01）. The protein expressions of α-SMA， Collagen Ⅰ， p-ERK1/2 and TGF-β1 in lung tissue were up-regulated significantly （P＜0.01）. Compared with model group， above indexes of mice were improved significantly in linarin high-dose group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， and most of indexes （except for lung index） were improved significantly in linarin low-dose group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. In vitro， compared with blank group， the density of cells in the model group increased， and obvious proliferation and other changes occurred； protein expressions of α-SMA， Collagen Ⅰ and p-ERK1/2 were significantly up-regulated （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with model group， the cell density of each concentration group was decreased and the morphology gradually returned to normal； the expressions of above proteins in linarin high-concentration group and the protein expression of p-ERK1/2 in linarin medium-concentration group were down-regulated significantly（P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Linarin may regulate ERK and inflammatory pathways to reduce the inflammatory response， thereby exerting anti-pulmonary fibrosis effect.

Pulmonary fibrosis is the end-stage manifestation of a large class of lung diseases characterized by fibroblast proliferation and accumulation of a large amount of extracellular matrix accompanied by inflammatory injury and tissue structure destruction. Studies have shown that flavonoids have anti-pulmonary fibrosis effects through multiple paths， including dihydromyricetin， morin and fisetin can inhibit fibroblast differentiation； Trollius altaicus flavonoids， hesperidin and linarin can play an anti-inflammatory role； total flavonoids from Scutellaria baicalensis， scutellarin and chrysin can inhibit epithelial- mesenchymal transition； total flavonoids of Litchi chinensis， diosmin and silybin can play an anti-oxidative stress role； quercetin， baicalin and apigenin can regulate autophagy； total flavonoids of Oxytropis falcata， calycosin and dihydroquercetin can regulate apoptosis； naringin， scutellarin and total flavonoids of Dracocephalum moldavica can inhibit pyroptosis， thus exerting anti- pulmonary fibrosis effects.

Objective:To describe the treatment of the first carpometacarpal arthritis in Eaton Ⅱ, Ⅲ combining the hemi excision of trapezium with tendon ball and evaluate its clinical efficacy.Methods:Data of patients with the first carpometacarpal arthritis who were treated by hemi excision of trapezium and tamponade of the tendon ball from March 2013 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Twelve patients were all females with an average age of 55±2.8 years (range, 48-61 years). There were 3 cases of left thumbs and 9 cases of right. The study was only researched with primary osteoarthritis patients, preoperative imaging Eaton stages, including 8 cases inⅡstage, 4 cases in Ⅲ stage. Postoperative X-ray examination was performed, and the subsidence rate of the first metacarpal bone was evaluated according to height of arthroplasty. Preoperative and postoperative pain was evaluated according to visual analogue scales (VAS) score and DASH score. Preoperative and postoperative finger movement was evaluated according to the changes in preoperative and postoperative grip and pinch force.Results:The average follow-up period was 12±4.8 months (range, 6-17 months). The mean score of VAS after operation was 1.2±1.0 which was lower than 6.3±1.5 before operation ( t=13.4, P=0.0001); DASH score after operation was 26.2±9.6 which was lower than 48.9±13.0 before operation ( t=5.7, P=0.0001); Grip force after operation was 25.5±6.8 kg which was higher than 15.0±2.9 kg before operation ( t=7.3, P=0.0001); Pinch force after operation was 3.2±0.8 kg which was higher than 2.1±0.4 kg before operation ( t=3.6, P=0.0045), and all of these four above data has statistic difference. At the latest postoperative follow-up, the height index of arthroplasty was 0.299±0.022, and there was no significant change ( F=1.337, P=0.276) when compared with 0.306±0.021 before surgery and 0.313±0.024 after surgery. After the operation, 2 patients presented with incision redness and swelling and exudation. It was considered that local hematoma in the intra-articular operation could not be completely absorbed. After several dressing changes, the redness and swelling subsided and the exudation was controlled. Conclusion:Preserving the proximal joint surface of trapezium and tamponading tendon ball, could reduce the subsidence rate of the first metacarpal bone and alleviate the pain of the first carpometacarpal joint, thus may effectively improve the joint function. It has a significant effect on the treatment of Eaton Ⅱ,Ⅲ stage of the first carpometacarpal arthritis.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for better carrying out safe medication intervention for the empty-nest elderly.METHODS:Two communities with different levels of income and culture were collected from Pudong New District of Shanghai,i.e.new community A and traditional community B.By cluster sampling,69 and 110 empty-nest elderly were selected as respondents respectively.The questionnaire survey about drug storage and medication habits of the elderly was conducted.The data of the survey were analyzed statistically.RESULTS:A total of 69 and 110 questionnaires were sent out,and 44 and 63 questionnaires were recovered with effective recovery rate of 63.8％ and 57.3％,respectively.The rate of drug storage in families from traditional community B was higher than new community A (100％ vs.88.6％,P=0.010).The proportions of residents in two communities storing their drugs in special drawers were the highest (59.0％ and 57.1％).Nearly half of the surveyed households in 2 communities did not form the habit of regularly clearing stored drugs.The frequency of residents who cleared stored drugs in traditional community B was higher than those in new community A (P=0.009).Nearly more than 70％ of the residents threw their expired drugs to garbage and only 11％ to drug stores or community health service center.The proportion of residents who were used to reading drug instructions in new community A was higher than traditional community B (95.5％ vs.77.8％,P=0.024).The proportion of the residents consulted community doctors when they were puzzled by drug use in new community A was lower than traditional community B (56.8％ vs.76.2％);The proportion of the residents consulted physicians in major hospitals was higher than traditional community B (34.1％ vs.9.5 ％);there was statistical significance (P=0.034).The most popular health service for the residents in the new community A was the hotline for the drug use (65.9％),while the residents in traditional community B needed blood pressure and sugar monitoring service and set up the health records (41.3％).The proportion of the residents' following demands in new community A was higher than traditional community B:opening drug use hotline,publicizing the knowledge of diseases and medication and conducting lectures (P＜0.001,P=0.006,P=0.018).CONCLUSIONS:The proportion of drug storage in empty-nest families of two communities is in very high level,but drug storage methods,cleaning frequency are not satisfactory.There are still a small number of elderly people who do not have the habit of reading drug instructions.There are some differences between the old and new communities.At the same time,the needs of health services in new and old communities are different.
