Objective To compare the effects of target systolic blood pressure on cardiovascular events in patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes after antihypertensive drugs. Methods This study was a retrospective cohort study. Randomly selected from March 2014 to March 2017, 1563 patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes diagnosed in the Department of Cardiology of the Tiemei Group General Hospital. There was no cardiovascular complications at admission. After admission, the population variables of each patient were recorded. Each patient was adjusted for blood pressure and blood glucose according to the doctor's advice after admission. After the hospital was discharged, the patient was followed up for blood pressure every week. The follow-up was 3-4 months. The average systolic blood pressure of each patient was recorded as the target systolic pressure. The patients who were followed up were divided into three groups according to the target systolic pressure value, namely ≤120 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) group,>120-130 mmHg group,>130-140 mmHg group. After that, it was changed to a weekly telephone follow-up of the nurses for a total of 3 years. The cardiovascular disease (CVD) occurred in these patients within 3 years were recorded. The CVD was used as the dependent variable, and the systolic blood pressure of each group was used as the independent variable to do COX. Proportional risk regression analysis, the hazard ratio (HR) of each group of concurrent CVD. Taking CVD as the dependent variable, HR of CVD with >130-140 mmHg group was taken as the reference value, and all population variables were used as independent variables, respectively, ≤120 mmHg group,>120-130 mmHg group and>130-140 mmHg group combined with CVD risk ratio. Results During the 3-year follow-up period, 1401 patients with blood pressure met: 104 patients with systolic blood pressure ≤120 mmHg, 543 patients with >120-130 mmHg, and 754 patients with >130-140 mmHg. The incidence of CVD in the three groups was 14.4%(15/104), 8.8%(48/543), 7.0%(53/754). HR of CVD were 1.66, 0.96, 0.53 in≤120 mmHg group,>120- 130 mmHg group,>130-140 mmHg group .Compared with >130-140 mmHg group, the risk ratio of CVD in all subgroups of≤120 mmHg group was statistically increased (HR>1, P<0.05). Compared with >130-140 mmHg, >120-130 mmHg group with 65-79 years old, combined with more than 3 groups of antihypertensive drugs, patients with diuretics showed a statistically significant increase in the risk ratio of CVD (HR>1, P <0.05). Conclusions The target systolic blood pressure of patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes should be >130-140 mmHg. For patients aged 65-79 years, more than 3 groups of antihypertensive drugs are used. Patients with diuretics should have a target systolic blood pressure of >130-140 mmHg.

Objective To explore the clinical value of 3D fast spin echo with an extended echo train acquistion (CUBE) T1WI enhancement sequence for purulent meningitis by comparing to contrast?enhanced T2WI?FLAIR sequence in the detection of lesions. Methods From August 2016 to July 2017, children with clinically suspected purulent meningitis underwent cranial magnetic resonance examination in our hospital. There were 35 children, 19 males and 16 females, aged 2 months to 3 years (median age 8 months) in total.A GE Discovery MR 750 3.0 T scanner was used to perform routine plain and enhanced scan in all children. After enhancement, the sequences of CUBE T1WI and FLAIR T2WI were applied randomly. Using the FLAIR T2WI enhancement sequence as the reference, we evaluated the detection rate of CUBE T1WI enhancement sequence for dura mater and leptomeningeal thickening. The number of enhanced lesions detected was tested by χ2 test. Results The enhanced FLAIR T2WI sequence showed 21 cases with dural enhancement, showing a rate of 60.0%. The enhanced CUBE T1WI sequence showed 31cases with dural enhancement, showing a rate of 88.6%. There were significant differences between the dural lesions detected(χ2=6.058, P<0.01). The enhanced FLAIR T2WI sequence showed 16 cases of leptomeningeal enhancement,showing a rate of 45.7%. The enhanced CUBE T1WI sequence showed 19 cases of leptomeningeal enhancement,showing a rate of 54.3%.The enhanced CUBE T1WI sequence was not significantly higher than that of enhanced T2WI?FLAIR sequence in displaying leptomeningeal enhancement (χ2=0.229, P>0.05). Conclusion Enhancement of the CUBE T1WI sequence enables better visualization of meningeal thickening than FLAIR T2WI. It has great clinical value in the diagnosis of purulent meningitis in children.

Objective To establish a new method to analyze the position accuracy of multileaf collimator (MLC) in the dynamic mode.Methods The MLC test sequence was created in a field,where intentional leaf positional errors ranging from 0.1 to 1 mm per centimeter were introduced.In order to establish the relationship between the ion chamber readings and leaf position,whose slope indicated the leaf position error per centimeter,a two-dimensional ion chamber array was used to measure absorbed dose while leaves were moving at dose rates of 100,300 and 600 MU/min,respectively.For routine test,leaf position error was easily found via dose profile in y direction of the field created by dynamic leaves,where the position error could be quantitatively calculated as the slope of absorbed dose line of x direction of the same field.Results The error of 0.2 mm or more per centimeter was obviously shown through y dose profile.The calibration curve was linear at different dose rates.At 600 MU/min,a 0.1 mm leaf position error corresponded to a slope variation of 0.74%,and the differences between the tested errors and the introduced errors were within 0.1 mm.Conclusions The simple and reliable method is helpful to establish the intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) quality control (QC) system.
