The clinical value of mean platelet volume and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio for the short-term prognosis in elderly patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease / 实用医学杂志

Objective To explore the association of mean platelet volume and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)in elderly patients and its clinical value for the short-term prognosis. Methods A total of 52 patients with AECOPD who had been hospitalized during the period of April 2014 to April 2015 were enrolled in this prospective observational study. Levels of mean platelet volume (MVP),C-reactive protein,complete blood count,D-dimer,fibrinogen,percent-of-predicted FEV1 and percent-of-predicted FEV1/FVC were measured at admission(acute exacerbation)and after 3 months(stable period). Fifty-two age-and sex-matched healthy individuals constituted the control group. Pearson′s correlation was used to analyze the association of MPV with WBC,NLR,CRP,DD,FIB,FEV1%,and FEV1/FVC%. Results In AECOPD,as compared with stable COPD and the control group,levels of WBC,NLR,D-dimer,fibrinogen and CRP elevated;FEV1,FVC,percent-of-predicted FEV1 and percent-of-predicted FEV1/FVC declined;and MPV level decreased obviously. As a cut-off point of MVP level of<8.35fl for predicting AECOPD,it showed a sensitivity of 84.6%and a specificity of 86.5%. A decreased MVP level was significantly correlated with an increased in white blood cell count, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio,D-dimer,fibrinogen and C-reactive protein level(P=0.01,0.02,0.01,0.02,and 0.01 respectively). Conclusions Mean platelet volume and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio may be inflammatory markers inAE COPD,and measurement of mean platelet volume level may be useful for identifying elderly patients at increased risks for acute exacerbation.

Analysis of risk factors and clinical characteristics of pulmonary embolism in patients with lung cancer / 天津医药

Objective To investigate the risk factors,clinic charactertics and survival prognosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with lung cancer.Methods The clinic data of 28 lung cancer patients with PE,hospitalized in department of respiratory and critical care medicine of Tianjin Chest Hospital between June 2012 to June 2015,were retrospectively reviewed.Eleven of them were diagnosed with primary lung cancer and PE (symptomatic group),and 17 lung cancer patients were found PE accidentally (asymptomatic group).A total of 56 lung cancer patients without PE were used as control subjects (no PE group).Data of pathological types,clinical staging of lung cancer,systemic chemotherapy,white blood cell (WBC),hemoglobin (Hb),platelet (PLT),D-dimer (DD),albumin (ALB) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were analyzed by univariate analysis in the symptomatic group and asymptomatic group.Logistic regression analysis was carried out on the statistically significant indexes to observe the influencing factors.The morphology and location of the remobilization images were analyzed in lung cancer patients with PE.The median time to embolism and survival of PE patients were compared between symptomatic group and asymptomatic group.Results The proportion of adenocarcinoma,systemic chemotherapy and stage Ⅲ + Ⅳ were significantly higher in PE group than those in no PE group (P ＜ 0.01).The ratio of white blood cells (WBC)＞ 11× 109/L (hyperleukocytosis) and albumin (ALB) ＜30 g/L and D-dimer (DD)＞ 0.5 mg/L were significantly higher in PE group than those of no PE group (P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistical differences in other indicators including clinical symptoms between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The logistic regression analysis showed that adenocarcinoma,chemotherapy,WBC＞ 11× 109/L and DD＞0.5 mg/L were the risk factors of lung cancer with PE (P ＜ 0.05).There was higher ratio of asymptomatic PE in lung cancer patients with PE.There were no significant differences in morphology and location of the remobilization images in symptomatic group.The median time of embolization was 3.6 months (95％ CI:3.2-4.0) in the asymptomatic group,which was significantly earlier than that in the symptomatic group (10.5 months,95％ CI:8.88-12.12,P ＜ 0.01).The median survival time was 7.2 months (95％ CI:5.86-8.56) in the asymptomatic group,which was significantly longer than that of symptomatic group (2.8 months,95％ CI:2.48-3.12,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Lung adenocarcinom,systemic chemotherapy,hypoproteinemia and increased D-dimer are the independent risk factors in lung cancer patients with PE.PE in lung cancer is frequently asymptomatic in the early stage.Compared to symptomatic patients,asymptomatic cases have better prognosis.

Outcomes of two types of short-segment pedicle screw fixation for thoracolumbar fractures / 中华骨科杂志

Objective To investigate the feasibility of mono-segment pedicle instrumentation (MSPI)in management of thoracolumbar fracture (AO classification,A1 and A3) by being compared with short-segment(two-segment) pedicle instrumentation(SSPI).Methods Overall 141 patients with tape A1 or A3 thoracolumbar fractures,aged from 20 to 60 years (average,40.5 years),were enrolled in this prospective study.According to a simple randomized method,35 patients with type A1 fracture and 41 patients with type A3fracture were treated with MSPI,while 26 with type A1 fracture and 39 with type A3 fracture were treated with SSPI.Low back outcome score (LBOS) and ASIA2000 were used to evaluate clinical outcome.Eighteenth month postoperatively was assigned as the last follow up period.Wedge index (WI) and sagittal index (SI) of the affected vertebrae on radiography were measured and compared preoperatively,one week postoperatively and at the final follow-up.Results All patients were followed up successfully.The blood loss and duration of operation of MSPI group were significantly less than that of SSPI group,respectively.However,there were no significant differences of clinical outcome between two groups.For type A1 fracture,correction rate and correction loss of WI in MSPI group were better than those in SSPI group.For type A3 fracture,there were no significant differences of correction rate and correction loss of WI and SI between MSPI group and SSPI group; however,the failure rate of MSPI group was significantly higher than that of SSPI group.Conclusion For type A1 and partial type A3 thoracolumbar fractures,MSPI can provide the same or better fixation with less blood loss and operative duration than SSPI.Since MSPI for type A3.2 thoracolumbar fracture has a higher failure rate,the surgical indication should be strictly controlled.

Monitoring mild impact iatrogenic spinal cord injury by using somatosensory-evoked potential: an experimental study / 中华创伤杂志

Objective To investigate the changes of somatosensory-evoked potential(SEP)during an mild impact spinal cord injury in rats 80 as to evaluate its potential value in prevention of such iatrogenic damage. Methods Twenty-four SD rats weighing(340±28)g were randomly divided into two groups,ie,sham control group(only exposure without impact at C6)and injury group(mild impact spihal cord injury at C6).SEP wss recorded in both groups.The changes of SEP in waveform,amplitude and latency were observed and compared between groups and between operations.The gross dissection and histologic analysis were performed after surgery for comparative study. Results SEP waveforms,amplitude and latency showed no significant change in the sham control group.In contrast,the SEP waveform and amplitude animals showed significant changes in the injury group after impact spinal cord injury and the amplitude was decreased from pre-injury(1.3±0.7)μV to post-injury(0.5±0.4)μV(P<0.05),while the latency showed no significant difference between(11.1±2.1)ms pre-injury and(10.7±1.3)ms post-injury(P>0.05).However,this abnormal change appeared in a temporary period at(5.7±3.2)minutes after impact and lasted for about(7.1±3.3)minutes.Diffused hemorrhagic nidus could be seen in the injured cord,which was not found in the sham control group. Condusions Mild impact spinal cord injury may induce transient abnormalities of SEP in waveform and amplitude,which requires careful monitoring in clinical practice.The sudden change in SEP may be associated with impact and vibration damage to the spinal cord,suggesting timely use of protection measures for spinal cord.

STUDIES ON THE ETIOLOGIC RELATIONSHIP OF MOLYBDENUM DEFICIENCY TO KESHAN DISEASE / 营养学报

A series of experiments designed in accordance with the biogeochemi-cal hypothesis on the etiology of Keshan disease was performed. It was shown that the pathogenic factors of Keshan disease existed in the grains cultivated in the endemic regions ("endemic regions" mean those localities where Keshan disease has been prevalent). These factors had an ability to elicit a metabolic derangement of calcium in the myocardium and indu- ce some latent damages in myocardial cells. Furthermore, there were definite relations between these factors and the nitrite. With the aid of nitrite, more serious myocardial necroses were produced by these pathogenic factors. It was also proved that the addition of ammonium molybdate to the grains from the endemic regions produced some prophylactic effect in reducing the myocardial injury in expermental animals. After an observation on fertilizing the soil in endemic region with ammonium molybdate for four years, the preliminary result showed that this measure seemed to be effective in preventing Keshan disease.Based on the results cited above, we considered that molybdenum deficiency and nitrite excess might play an important role in the occurrence of Keshan disease, but the exact pathogenic factors in the grains remained to be studied further.
