ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the 15-year survival rate, causes of death and prognostic factors of late-onset systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).Methods:A total of 92 late-onset SLE patients aged >50 years hospitalized in the Rheumatology and Immunology Department of the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Autonomous Region from January 2006 to December 2016 were retrospectively collected.Clinical and serological data of the patients were analyzed and the diagnosis met the SLE classification criteria as revised by the American Society of Rheumatology in 1997.Survival rate, the cause of death, and the associated prognostic factors were analyzed.Outpatient or telephone follow-up was performed.Results:Of the 92 study patients, 8 were lost to follow-up(8 / 92, 8.7%)and 84 were able to follow up(84 / 92, 91.3%). Of the 84 able to follow up, 64 cases(64 / 84, 76.2%)survived, and 20 cases(20 / 84, 23.8%)died.Median survival time was 108 months.The 5-, 10-, and15-year survival rates were 86.0%, 77.9%and 59.6 %, respectively.Infection(55.0%)and multiple organ failure(15.0%)were the major cause of death in patients with late-onset SLE.Univariate analysis of the outcomes of patients with late-onset SLE showed that the age of onset( HR=1.113, P=0.001), hematology involvement( HR=3.610, P=0.023), and complicaed cardiovascular disease( HR=3.128, P=0.011)had a significant impact on the prognosis. Conclusions:The late-onset SLE has low survival rate and bad prognosis.Infection prevention and control of organ damage and focus on merging cardiovascular disease are critical to improve survival of late-onset SLE patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss 64-slice CT three-dimensional reconstruction (3D) and MPR (MPR) in the application of the nasal bone fracture. Methods 102 patients with recent nasal fracture in our hospital underwent 64-slice CT scan axial thin spiral. Nasal fracture imaging was observed using workstations in the three-dimensional reconstruction (3D) and MPR (MPR). Results 102 cases of nasal bone fracture,dislocation fractures in 47 cases,non-fracture dislocation of the 55 cases,46 cases of bilateral nasal bone fracture,unilateral 22 cases(13 cases the left side of the right of nine cases),15 cases of fracture of the nasal septum,nasal bone fracture associated with maxillary The amount of bone fracture in 13 cases,only six cases of separation suture. All the nasal bone fractures 3D imaging and after the MPR can display three-dimensional fractures of the location,shape,type,degree of collapse and three-dimensional information. Conclusion 64-slice CT3D and MPR technology can improve the accuracy of diagnosis of the nasal bone fracture,and provide valuable information for clinicians in the choice of treatment program.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical efficacy of irbesartan, enteric-coated aspirin combined with tetramethylpyrazine in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. METHODS: 75 patients with diabetic nephropathy were randomly divided into treatment group(n=40) and control group(n=35). Both groups were administered with 150 mg irbesartan(p.o.) and 100 mg enteric-coated aspirin (p.o.) once a day. Treatment group were additionally treated with 0.9% normal saline containing 200 mg tetramethylpyrazine once a day (i.v.gtt). During 28 days of treatment, treatment group was compared with control group in respect of 24-h urine protein, blood lipids, blood rheology. RESULTS: After treatment, hemorheological indexes (?b, EAI), renal function indexes(Scr、BUN、24-h urine protein) , Serum lipids(TG, TC) were decreased significantly(P
