ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the risk of malnutrition in elder home-care patients through mini nutritional assessment (MNA) and study the correlations between total MNA score and 18 individual questions in this patient group.Methods In May 2011,62 elder home-care patients from our center answered the MNA questionnaire.And the results were used to analyze the correlations between total MNA score and individual questions and the correlations among MNA classifications and body mass index(BMI),mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) and calf circunference (CC).Results According to MNA,18% were malnourished ( 11/62 ),47% at risk of malnutrition ( 29/62 ) and 35% well-nourished ( 22/62 ) ; BMI,independence,mobility,neuropsychological problems,ingesting method,MAMC,CC and selfperceived nutritional status,self-perceived health status showed strong correlations with total MNA score (0.601,0.600,0.666,0.611,0.627,0.618,0.726,0.612,0.672,P <0.05).And weight loss within a month,number of daily meals and intake of drinks showed weak correlations with total MNA score (0.35,0.319,0.288,P < 0.05 ).Positive correlations existed among MNA classifications and BMI,MAMC,CC (15.45,19.85,31.89,P<0.05).Conclusions The elder home-care patients have a high risk for malnutrition.Half of 18 individual questions are strongly correlated with total MNA score in this patient group.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes of serum concentration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium after thyroid surgery and compare the changes among different modes of operation. MethodsFrom Aug. 2006 to Dec. 2009, 470 patients accepted thyroid surgery. The serum concentration of PTH and calcium in different groups was measured and compared before and 1 day after surgery. According to the extent and similarity of the surgery, patients were classified into 7 groups and they were compared in terms of postoperative changes of PTH and serum calcium. Statistical analysis was performed. ResultsThe serum concentration of PTH and calciurn decreased significantly after surgery in all patients except for those receiving unilateral and bilateral partial thyroidectomy. Compared with unilateral lobectomy, surgeries such as bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy, unilateral thyroidectomy with contralateral subtotal thyroidectomy, bilateral near-total thyroidectomy and total thyroidectomy resulted in more dramatic decreases of serum concentration of PTH and calcium and higher incidence of hypocalcemia ( P < 0.05 ). The comparison between patients receiving CLND or not had the same result. Conclusions Almost all kinds of thyroid surgery affect the parathyroid function. The wider the surgery, the higher the possibility of postoperative hypoparathyroidism. The indications and criteria of different types of thyroid surgery are essential for hypoparathyroidism prevention. In some cases, vitamin D and calcium are recommended for preventive purpose.

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare HER-2 state in breast cancer tissue deteced by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) and analyze their correlation. Methods HER-2/neu protein expression and gene amplification were detected by FISH and IHC in 56 newly-diagnosed cases of female breast cancer from July 2008 to July 2009. Results Of the 56 patients, HER-2 protein expression (-), (+), (++), (+++) was 9 cases (16.1%), 29 cases (51.8%), 11 cases (19.6%) and 7cases (12.5%) respectively; 26 cases (46.4%) had HER-2 gene amplification while 30 cases (53.6%) didnt have. Type of HER-2 gene amplification was mainly HER-2(++) and HER-2(+++), and according gene amplification rate was 72 7% and 100%. HER-2 (+) gene amplification rate was 37.9 %(11cases) and no gene amplification was found in HER-2(-) tissue. The HER-2 positive rate using two methods had significant difference(χ2=19.778,P<0.01). HER-2(-) and HER-2(+++) had good consistency with the FISH results(Kappa=0.969),but HER-2(+) and HER-2(+ +) were poorly consistent with the FISH results(Kappa=0.271). Conclusions IHC is the preliminary screening method for detection of HER-2 expression. HER-2(-) and HER-2(+++) have good consistency with the gene amplification, and can guide clinical treatment. Some patients with HER-2(+) and HER-2(++) have HER-2 gene amplification. FISH is needed for targeted therapy.
