ObjectiveTo observe the effect of mild anemia on prognosis of hyperplastic diabetic retinopathy (PDR) treated by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). MethodsA retrospective case-control study. From January 2021 to December 2022, 147 PDR patients with 147 eyes who received PPV treatment at Shenyang He Eye Hospital were included in the study. There were 147 eyes in 147 cases, 82 eyes in 82 males and 65 eyes in 65 females. Age was 25-79 (53.54±12.74) years old. A hemoglobin (Hb) of 90 to 120 g/L in men and 90 to 110 g/L in women was defined as mild anemia. According to Hb results, the patients were divided into mild anemia group and non-anemia group, with 39 cases (39 eyes) and 108 cases (108 eyes), respectively. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) test was performed using the international standard logarithmic visual acuity scale before and after the surgery, which was statistically converted to minimum resolved logarithmic (logMAR) visual acuity. The logMAR BCVA of the affected eye was 0.2-2.5 (1.60±0.62) before surgery. According to whether the BCVA improved by more than 3 lines 6 months after surgery, the affected eyes were divided into BCVA improved by more than 3 lines and BCVA improved by less than 3 lines, 117 eyes and 30 eyes, respectively. The patient's body mass index (BMI), BCVA at 6 months after surgery, and the occurrence of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) and recurrence of vitreous hemorrhage (RVH) were recorded. Independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the influencing factors of increased BCVA ≥3 rows after surgery. ResultsSix months after surgery, the logMAR BCVA of patients in mild anemia group and non-anemia group were 0.97±0.87 and 0.68±0.63, respectively. BCVA increased ≥3 in 26 (66.7%, 26/39) and 91 (84.3%, 91/108) eyes, respectively. logMAR BCVA (t=2.234) and BCVA increased by ≥3 rows of eyes (χ2=5.460) between the two groups, the differences were statistically significant (P=0.027, 0.019). Logistic regression analysis showed that baseline logMAR BCVA [odds ratio (OR) =4.291, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.918-9.600, P<0.001)], BMI (OR=1.248, 95%CI 1.057-1.472, P=0.009), the number of retinal laser photocoagulation during surgery (OR=1.001, 95%CI 1.000-1.002, P=0.038), mild anemia (OR=0.360, 95%CI 0.131-0.993, P=0.048), postoperative NVG (OR=0.156, 95%CI 0.033-0.726, P=0.018) and RVH (OR=0.264, 95%CI 0.086-0.808, P=0.020) were independent factors for BCVA improvement ≥3 lines after PPV. ConclusionsMild anemia has a certain effect on BCVA improvement after PPV of PDR. Mild anemia, post-operative NVG and RVH were independent risk factors for increasing BCVA ≥3 lines after PPV in PDR patients.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of the series parameters of reticulocyte in children with different types of anemia. Methods From January to August 2015, the reticulocyte parameters of 150 children with different types of anemia treated in the People’s Hospital of Dujiangyan were retrospectively analyzed. Another 150 healthy children aged 1-10 years examined in the same hospital at the same period were as the control group. Mindray BC-6900 automatic blood cell analyzer and suited reagent were used to determine the absolute value of reticulocyte (RET#), percentage of reticulocyte (RET%), immature reticulocyte ratio (IRF), low fluorescent intensity reticulocyte percentage (LFR%), moderate fluorescent intensity reticulocyte percentage (MFR%), and height fluorescent intensity reticulocyte percentage (HFR%). The data were statistically analyzed. Results Compared with the control group, RET%, RET# and IRF results in iron deficiency anemia group, hemolytic anemia group, aplastic anemia group, recent hemorrhagic anemia group, renal anemia group, leukemia and chemotherapy group had statistical difference (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, LFR%, MFR%, HFR% results in hemolytic anemia group and aplastic anemia group had statistical difference (P<0.05). LFR%, MFR% and HFR% results of other types of anemia had no statistical differences (P>0.05). Conclusion The series parameters of the reticulocyte, having an important reference value, can be used in the diagnosis of children with different types of anemia as a reference index, early diagnosis and early treatment of children with different anemia, which also can be used as a method to diagnose different types of anemia.
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) combined with iron in treatment of anemia in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures during perioperative period. Methods A clinical data of 71 patients with intertrochanteric fractures met the inclusion criteria between April 2016 and October 2017 was retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with closed reduction and proximal femoral intramedullary nail fixation. Thirty-one patients were treated with rHuEPO and iron before operation as trial group, and 40 patients were not treated with rHuEPO and iron as control group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, cause of injury, fracture side and classification, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, combined medical diseases, time from fracture to admission, preoperative hospital stay, and operation time between the two groups (P>0.05).The hemoglobin levels before operation and at 1, 3, and 7 days after operation, number of blood transfusion, blood transfusion rate, blood transfusion volume, postoperative hospital stay, complications were recorded and compared. Results After operation, 8 patients (25.8%) in trial group and 22 patients (55.0%) in control group received blood transfusion; the blood transfusion volume was (1.96±0.85) units in trial group and (3.19±1.61) units in control group. There were significant differences in blood transfusion rate and volume between the two groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in preoperative hemoglobin level between the two groups (P>0.05). The postoperative hemoglobin level was higher in trial group than in control group, and the difference between the two groups was significant at 7 days (P<0.05). The postoperative hospital stay was (6.16±3.97) days in trial group and (9.25±4.47) days in control group, showing significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There were 8 patients (25.8%) with pulmonary infection in trial group and 14 (35.0%) in control group after operation; 6 patients (19.4%) with deep venous thrombosis in trial group and 8 (20.0%) in control group. There was no significant difference in the incidences of complications between the two groups (P>0.05). All patients were discharged from hospital normally, and no one died during hospitalization. Conclusion The application of rHuEPO combined with iron before operation in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures can rapidly increase the hemoglobin level after operation, shorten the hospital stay, and do not increase the risk of deep venous thrombosis after operation.
Objective To assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of astragalus injection plus androgen versus androgen alone for patients with aplastic anemia (AA). Methods Such databases as The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2011), PubMed (1966 to March 2011), EMbase (1974 to March 2011), CNKI (1994 to March 2011), VIP (1989 to March 2011) and Wanfang Data (1997 to March 2011) were searched to include the randomized controlled trails (RCTs) according to the inclusive and exclusive criteria. The data were extracted, the quality was assessed, and meta-analysis was conducted by using Revman5.0.24 software. Results Seven RCTs involving 518 patients with AA were included. The meta-analysis showed that the astragalus plus androgen treatment group was superior to the androgen alone group in the total effective rate with significant difference (OR=3.12, 95%CI 2.09 to 4.66, Plt;0.000 01); the adverse events in the treatment group were fewer than those in the control group with significant difference (OR=0.30, 95%CI 0.12 to 0.76, P=0.01); but the promotion degree of myelosis between the two groups was similar without significant difference (OR=1.93, 95%CI 0.85 to 4.38, P=0.11). Conclusion The astragalus plus androgen treatment is superior to the androgen alone treatment in the total effective rate and fewer adverse events. More high-quality trails are required to verify this conclusion due to the low quality and small scale of the included studies.
