Objective To study the relationship between serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and resistin levels and osteoporosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods This study was conducted on 306 T2DM patients admitted to Baoding No.2 Central Hospital from January 2018 to January 2022. According to the detection results of bone mineral density, the patients were divided into osteoporosis group (T≤-2.5) and non-osteoporosis group (T>-2.5). The differences in IGF-1, resistin and bone mineral density were compared between the two groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum IGF-1 and resistin levels and bone mineral density in patients with osteoporosis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to evaluate the application value of IGF-1 and resistin in predicting osteoporosis in patients with T2DM. Patients with T2DM complicated with osteoporosis were followed up for 2 years, and the occurrence of fractures was assessed. After univariate analysis, multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to screen the risk factors for fractures in T2DM patients with osteoporosis. Results The incidence rate of osteoporosis in patients with T2DM was 53.59% (164/306). The IGF-1 level and bone mineral density level in the osteoporosis group were lower than those in the non-osteoporosis group, while the level of resistin was higher than that in the non-osteoporosis group (P<0.05). Serum IGF-1 in patients with osteoporosis was positively correlated with bone mineral density, and serum resistin was negatively correlated with bone mineral density (P<0.05). The AUC, sensitivity and specificity of combination of IGF-1 and resistin in predicting osteoporosis were 0.888, 82.93% and 62.68% respectively, which were all higher than those of single factor prediction (P<0.05). The 164 T2DM patients with osteoporosis were followed up for two years, and 15 patients developed fragility fractures, with the incidence of fracture of 9.15% (15/164). Multivariate analysis showed that hypoproteinemia, high-intensity exercise, lack of nutritional management, low IGF-1, and high resistin were risk factors for fractures in patients with T2DM complicated with osteoporosis (P<0.05). Conclusion For patients with T2DM, the incidence rates of osteoporosis and fractures are high. The levels of IGF-1 and resistin are closely related to bone mineral density, which can be combined to predict osteoporosis. Hypoproteinemia, high-intensity exercise, lack of nutritional management, low IGF-1 and high resistin are risk factors for fractures in T2DM patients with osteoporosis. It is necessary to carry out targeted preventive measures in clinical practice to reduce the incidence rate of fractures.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of esmolol on cardiac function, inflammatory factors and serum microRNA (miR)-29a and miR-129-5p in patients with acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A total of 120 patients with acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing PCI in our hospital from April 2021 to June 2023 were selected and divided into control group (60 cases) and study group (60 cases) according to the random number table method. The control group was given conventional treatment, and the study group was additionally given Esmolol hydrochloride injection based on the control group for one week. The levels of cardiac function indexes (left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-systolic volume index, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, peak ejection fraction, cardiac output), inflammatory factors (C-reactive protein, myeloperoxidase, interleukin-6, brain natriuretic peptide, homocysteine) myocardial enzyme indexes (creatine kinase isoenzyme, β2-microglobulin, cardiac troponin Ⅰ), and serum expression of miR-29a and miR-129-5p were observed in two groups, and the occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS After one week of treatment, left ventricular ejection fraction, peak ejection fraction, cardiac output, and the expression of miR-129-5p in two groups was significantly higher than before treatment (P<0.05), while left ventricular end-systolic volume index, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, inflammatory factors and myocardial enzyme index levels, and the expression of miR-29a were significantly lower than before treatment (P< 0.05). The study group was significantly better than the control group (except for the creatine kinase-MB) (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of symptomatic hypotension, symptomatic bradycardia, cardiogenic shock, and arrhythmia between two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Esmolol can improve cardiac function, reduce inflammatory factors, lessen myocardial injury, and regulate serum expressions of miR-29a and miR-129-5p in patients with acute anterior ST- segment elevation myocardial infarction after PCI, with good safety.

Objective:To investigate the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:From August 2021 to March 2022, the data of 69 patients who received robot-assisted TKA for inflammatory disease of knee in 6 hospitals were collected, including 24 males and 45 females, aged 52±6 years (range, 46-72 years), including 53 cases of knee osteoarthritis,10 cases of rheumatoid arthritis, and 6 cases of traumatic arthritis. Imaging data examination of patients was completed according to the multicenter specification. Preoperatively, the patient's CT data were extracted before surgery and a personalized prosthesis positioning plan was designed by the robotic system to determine the prosthesis size, lower limb force lines, and femoral and tibial osteotomy volumes; intraoperatively, the osteotomy template was robotically controlled to complete the osteotomy according to the prosthesis positioning plan, and the intraoperative osteotomy volumes were measured to verify the accuracy of the robot-assisted TKA osteotomy with the preoperative planning. Postoperatively, the lateral angle of the distal femur, the medial angle of the proximal tibia and the hip-knee-ankle angle were measured in the coronal plane according to radiographs; the postoperative outcome was evaluated 3 months after operation, using the American Knee Society score (KSS), including the KSS knee score and functional score.Results:The operative time was 97.3±2.3 min (range, 80-110 min) and the amount of bleeding was 320.0±6.2 ml (range, 300-350 ml) in 69 patients. Three months after operation, the mean range of motion of knee joint was increased from 82.2°±1.1° before surgery to 119.7°±0.8° after surgery ( t=27.65, P<0.001), and the line of force of lower limb was improved from 160.9°±0.5° before surgery to 178.0°±0.2° after surgery ( t=32.03, P<0.001). KSS-knee score increased from 54.8±0.7 points before operation to 85.0±0.5 points after operation, and KSS-functional score increased from 56.5±0.7 points before operation to 85.9±0.4 points after operation, the difference was statistically significant ( t=35.45, 36.58, P<0.001). The proportion of patients with intraoperative femoral and tibial osteotomies within 2 mm osteotomy error compared with preoperative planning was 97% for the lateral tibial plateau, 100% for the medial tibial plateau, 100% for the lateral distal femur, 99% for the medial distal femur, 93% for the lateral posterior femoral condyle, and 100% for the medial posterior femoral condyle; The proportion of patients with postoperative anteroposterior X-ray measurement angle error within 3° was: 100.0% for the distal lateral femoral angle, 100.0% for the proximal medial tibial angle, and 100% for the hip-knee-ankle angle. No complications occurred in all patients except for one case in which fat liquefaction occurred in the postoperative wound. Conclusion:Robot-assisted TKA is a safe and effective surgical method for the treatment of inflammatory disease of knee with accurate prosthesis installation and good postoperative recovery of lower limb alignment.

Objective:To compare the effect of different β values on the semi-quantitative accuracy and image quality of 68Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT imaging after partial volume effect correction (PVC). Methods:In the model experiment, image reconstruction was carried out based on block sequential regularized expectation maximization algorithm (BSREMA) with the range of β values from 100 to 1 000. Recovery coefficient (RC), contrast recovery (CR) and background variability (BV) were measured to evaluate semi-quantitative accuracy and image quality. In the clinical study, image data of 21 prostate cancer patients (age 45-78 years) who underwent 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT examination in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from March 2019 to February 2020 were retrospectively collected. A total of 29 abdominal imaging positive lymph nodes were divided into the small lymph node group (diameter <10 mm; n=12) and the large lymph node group (10 mm≤diameter≤30 mm; n=17). SUV parameters including SUV max, SUV mean and peak of SUV (SUV peak) and the influence of different β values on the SUV parameters were evaluated. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) and subjective scores were used to evaluate image quality. Independent-sample t test, Kappa test and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze data. Results:The model experiment showed that CR, RC and BV decreased with the increase of β values. The image quality, image clarity, lesion significance, and total image scores given by nuclear medicine physicians showed strong consistency ( Kappa values: 0.65-0.87, P values: 0.026-0.043). The small lymph node group had the highest score (13 and 14) with β value of 600, while the large lymph node group had the highest score (13 and 14) with β value of 700. SNR of the two groups increased steadily within β values from 100 to 600 ( t values: 2.49-8.99, P values: 0.023-0.038). When the β value was higher than 600, SNR of the small lymph node group reached a plateau ( t values: 1.28-2.00, P values: 0.072-0.098), while the SNR of the large lymph node group continued to increase ( t values: 2.98-4.63, P values: 0.012-0.029). Before PVC, there were significant negative correlations between SUV parameters and β values ( r values: from -0.94 to -0.64, P values: 0.039-0.046). After PVC, it was found that SUV mean and SUV max still had significant negative correlation with β values ( r values: from -0.78 to -0.68, P values: 0.035-0.042), while the SUV peak showed no significant correlation with β values ( r values: -0.22, -0.28, P values: 0.069, 0.126). Conclusions:Based on subjective scores and semi-quantitative indicators, 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT is superior to select β values of 600 and 700 for image reconstruction based on BSREMA. The SUV peak of small lesions is stable after PVC and the clinical value should be explored in further.
