Objective To investigate whether antipsychotic drugs will increase the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and to provide evidence for the prevention of VTE and PE in patients with APs exposure. Methods Databases including PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP and Elsevier were searched from inception to July 2016 to collect case-control studies and cohort studies on the association between APs exposure and the risk of VTE and PE. The literature were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the data were extracted and the bias risk of the included studies were evaluated by two reviewers independently. The Meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 12 software. Results Nineteen studies were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that APs exposure was associated with VTE (OR=1.50, 95%CI 1.30 to 1.74,P<0.001). Exposure to low-potency FGA (OR=2.28, 95%CI 1.02 to 5.10,P=0.045), high-potency FGA (OR=1.68, 95%CI 1.37 to 2.05,P<0.001) and SGA (OR=1.74, 95%CI 1.24 to 2.44,P=0.001) revealed an increased risk of VTE. Exposure to APs also signi?cantly increase the risk of PE (OR=3.69, 95%CI 1.23 to 11.07,P=0.02), especially exposure to FGA (OR=2.54, 95%CI 1.22 to 5.32,P=0.013), but exposure to SGA could not revealed an increased risk of PE. Conclusion FGA and SGA exposure maybe associated with an increase in the risk of developing VTE. And exposure to the FGA could increase the risk of PE. The occurrence of VTE and PE should be monitored when taking Aps.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the incidence of osteoporosis and relevant factors in the elderly male patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods Forty elderly male patients with COPD were enrolled and thirty age-matched healthy subjectss were enrolled.The BMD of lumbar vertebrae and proximal end of the femur were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.Serum levels of osteocalcin （BGP）and lung function were measured while blood-gas analysis of arterial blood was conducted.Results The BMD of lumbar vertebrae and proximal end of the femur(including lumbar 1 to 4，femoral neck，wards triangle，trochanter and shaft) in the COPD group were significantly lower than those in the control subjects(all Plt;0.01).Serum BGP level in the COPD group was higher than that in the control group[(5.67±1.59)ng/mL vs (4.37±1.47)ng/mL，Plt;0.01).The prevalence of osteoporosis among the COPD patients was significantly higher than that among the control subjects（65% vs 40%，50% vs 20%，both Plt;0.05）.BMD in the COPD patients who had a history of smoking was significantly lower than those who did not smoke cigarettes（Plt;0.01 or Plt;0.05）.BMD in the COPD patients treated with glucocorticoid were significantly lower than those who were not receiving glucocorticoid therapy(Plt;0.01 or Plt;0.05).BMD was positively correlated with PaO2，BMI，FEV1%pred and FEV1/FVC(Plt;0.01 or Plt;0.05).Conclusions Compared with age-matched normal controls，BMD in elderly male COPD patients are significantly lower with increased osteoporosis risk.Osteoporosis induced by COPD is high change-over pattern. BMD in patients with COPD may be correlated with hypoxia，lung function，smoking，low body mass index and glucocorticoids therapy.

Objective To summarize the nutritional management strategies of patients undergoing electively gastrointestinal surgery. Methods This article reviewed the recent researches on perioperative nutritional management in electively gastrointestinal surgery, including four major directions: preoperative nutritional evaluation, glucose level control, nutritional type, and immunonutrition. Results At present, preoperative nutritional evaluation methods included anthropometry, laboratory tests, subjective global assessment (SGA), nutritional risk screening (NRS) 2002, Reilly nutritional risk screening, nutritional risk indicator (NRI), and so on. For preoperative nutritional assessment system, however, current data could not single out superiority for any nutritional assessment methods in the ability to predict surgery-related complications. The usage of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol to reduce surgical stress and preclude postoperative insulin resistance had recently been clearly linked to reductions in postoperative morbidity and adverse outcomes. There were specific criterias for perioperative parenteral and enteral nutrition in undernourished patients, who were defined in clinical guidelines recently, such as the Guidelines for Adult Perioperative Nutrition Support issued by Chinese Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (CSPEN). Several systematic reviews showed that immunonutrition could reduce both morbidity and length of stay after major electively gastrointestinal surgery. Conclusion Perioperative nutritional management can ensure patients benefit from nutritional support by nutritional assessment, can reduce the nutritional risk and metabolic disorder caused by operation, can achieve the goal of optimal nutrition support in surgical patients, and can ultimately reduce postoperative complications.
Objective To discuss the clinical application value of CT angiography (CTA) in traumatic pelvic artery pseudoaneurysm and dissecting aneurysm. Methods A total of 8 patients including 7 with traumatic pelvic artery pseudoaneurysm and 1 with dissecting aneurysm diagnosed by CTA in Suining Central Hospital from August 2012 to January 2016 were enrolled in this study, in whom 6 patients with traumatic pseudoaneurysm treated with embolotherapy were confirmed by digital subtraction angiography. Image post-processing techniques of CTA including curve planar reformation, multiplanar reconstruction and volume rendering were used. Results In the seven patients diagnosed as solitary traumatic pelvic artery pseudoaneurysm by CTA, 3 had superior gluteal artery pseudoaneurysm, 2 had inferior gluteal artery pseudoaneurysm, and 2 had external iliac artery pseudoaneurysm. The 7 pseudoaneurysms were pouch-shaped with the short diameters ranged from 9 to 64 mm and the long diameters ranged from 11 to 78 mm. Six locations of artery laceration were displayed clearly, thereinto 1 case was combined with arteriovenous fistula. In addition, a vessel occlusion caused by the limitation of right external iliac artery dissecting aneurysm and the thrombosis in left side of the external iliac artery was found in 1 case. Conclusions As a non-invasive diagnostic technique, CTA can accurately diagnose traumatic pelvic artery pseudoaneurysm and dissecting aneurysm, clearly display the location relationship of pseudoaneurysm and its parent artery, and find whether arteriovenous fistula exists. Beyond that, the true and false lumen of dissecting aneurysm can be precisely identified by this technique. CTA can provide important image information for formulating individual treatment plan.
Objective To study the MRI diagnosis of sacral fracture with sacral neurological damage and its cl inical appl ication. Methods From October 1999 to October 2007, 20 cases of sacral fracture (Denis classification, Type II)with sacral neurological damage were examined by obl ique coronal MRI of sacrum to show the whole length of sacral nerve. There were 17 males and 3 females, aged 30-55 years. The time from injury to hospital ization varied from 1 day to 23 months. The injury was caused by traffic accident in 10 cases, smash of heavy object in 8 cases and crush in 2 cases. Eight cases were accompanied by pubis fracture and 4 cases by urethral disruption. All patients accepted the examination of X-ray, CT and spiral CT 3D reconstruction. X-ray showed the displacement of fracture fragment was backwards and upwards, and sacral-hole l ine was vague, asymmetric and distorted. CT showed that sacral neural tube was left-right asymmetry, the displacement of fracture fragment was backwards and upwards, combining with the compression and intruding to sacrum center at different section levels. The cl inical manifestations, international standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury recommended by American Spinal Injury Association International Spinal Cord Society, comparison between normal and abnormal MRI and Gierada’s results were the basis for cl inical diagnose and MRI diagnose, which was confirmed by operation. Results Nerve injury diagnosed by cl inical manifestation were S1 (17 cases), S2 (14 cases), S3 (7 cases), and S4 (6 cases). Nerve injury diagnosedby MRI were S1 (17 cases), S2 (14 cases), S3 (3 cases), and S4 (2 cases). Nerve injury confirmed by operation were S1 (17 cases), S2 (14 cases), S3 (7 cases), and S4 (1 case). Obl ique coronal MRI of sacrum showed the whole length of sacral nerve and its adjacent relationship, detecting bone fragment compression and route alteration of never were evident in 5 cases, the fat disappearance around the site of nerve root injury in 19 cases, narrowness of sacral nerve canal in 17 cases and the abnormally enlarged sacral nerve in 11 cases. Conclusion Obl ique coronal MRI of sacrum is of great value in the local ization and the qual itative diagnosis of sacral neurological damage.
ObjectiveTo compare the indirect calorimetry (IC) measured resting energy expenditure (MREE) with adjusted Harris-Benedict formula calculating resting energy expenditure (CREE) in the mechanically ventilated surgical critically ill patients and to evaluate the relationship between the resting energy expenditure (REE) with the severity of illness. MethodsTwenty-one patients undergonging mechanical ventilation for critical illness in the intensive care unit of general surgery between August 2008 and February 2010 were included in this study. Data during the study period of nutrition support were collected for computation of the severity of critical illness by acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ scores (APACHE Ⅱ scores) and organ dysfunction scores (Marshall scores). MREE was measured by using IC of the MedGraphics CCM/D System within the first 7 d after nutrition therapy. CREE was calculated by using the HarrisBenedict formula adjusted with correction factors for illness at the same time. According to APACHE Ⅱ scores on admission, the enrolled patients were divided into two groups: APACHEⅡ score ≥20 scores group (n=8) and APACHE Ⅱ score lt;20 scores group (n=13), and the differences between MREE and CREE of patients in two groups were determined. ResultsThe reduction of variation tendency in CREE other than MREE in the enrolled patients within the first week of nutritional support was statistical significance (Plt;0.001). The CREE of patients 〔(1 984.49±461.83) kcal/d〕 was significantly higher than the MREE 〔(1 563.88±496.93) kcal/d〕 during the first week of nutritional support (Plt;0.001). The MREE on the 0, 1, 2, and 4 d after nutrition therapy were statistically significant lower than CREE at the same time interval in these patients (Plt;0.01), and the differences at the other time points were not significant (Pgt;0.05). There was a trend towards a reduction in APACHE Ⅱ and Marshall scores within the first week of nutrition therapy that reached statistical significance (Plt;0.001). During the first week of nutrition therapy, APACHEⅡ and Marshall scores of patients in ≥20 scores group were significantly higher than those in lt;20 scores group, respectively (Plt;0.05 or Plt;0.01), and the reductions of APACHE Ⅱ scores and Marshall scores were significant in patients of two groups (Plt;0.001). A significant positive correlation was found between CREE with APACHE Ⅱ scores (r=0.656, Plt;0.001) and Marshall scores (r=0.608，Plt;0.001) in patients within the first week after nutrition support. Although no statistically significant correlation was observed between MREE and APACHEⅡ scores (r=-0.045， P=0.563), a significant positive correlation was observed between MREE and Marshall scores (r=0.263, P=0.001) within the first week after nutrition therapy. There was no correlation between MREE and CREE (r=0.064, P=0.408) in patients at the same time interval. The reduction of MREE of patients in ≥20 scores group other than in lt;20 scores group was statistically significant within the first week after nutrition therapy (P=0.034). In addition, the MREE of patients in ≥20 scores group were not significantly different from those in lt;20 scores group (Pgt;0.05), and the mean CREE was not different in two groups patients within the first week of nutritional therapy 〔(1 999.55±372.73) kcal/d vs. (1 918.39±375.27) kcal/d, P=0.887〕. CREE was significantly higher than MREE of patients in ≥20 scores group within the first week except the 3 d and 5 d after nutrition therapy (Plt;0.05), while in lt;20 scores group CREE was significantly higher than MREE in patients only within the first 3 d after nutrition therapy (Plt;0.05 or Plt;0.01). MREE and CREE of patients in ≥20 scores group were not different from those in lt;20 scores group, respectively (Pgt;0.05).
Objective To assess the risk factors associated with postoperative infection after elective abdominal operation for elderly in department of general surgery. Methods One hundred and fifty-nine consecutive elderly patients admitted to the department of general surgery in our hospital for elective abdominal operation between May 2010 and February 2012 were considered for inclusion and retrospectively analyzed. Thirty-eight patients （23.90%）with postoperative infection were taken as the infection group and 121 patients without postoperative infection as noninfection group. The differences in the objective physiological indicators， subjective health status indicators， operation status， the incidence of postoperative infective complications， and mortality were compared between the two groups. Results Of enrolled 159 patients in this study， the incidence of postoperative infective complications was 23.90% （38/159）； 2 patients died， and the postoperative mortality rate was 1.26%. Single factor and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative malnutrition risk， history of diabetes， and chronic respiratory system disease were the independent risk factors of postoperative infection complications in elective abdominal surgery for elderly patients. Conclusion Improving preoperative respiratory function， diabetes mellitus， and nutritional status would help to reduce incidence of postoperative infection for elderly patients with elective abdominal operation.

Objective To review the research progress of intraspinal solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). Methods The domestic and foreign researches on intraspinal SFT were extensively reviewed and analyzed from four aspects, including disease origin, pathological and radiological characteristics, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and treatment and prognosis. Results SFT is an interstitial fibroblastic tumor with a low probability of occurrence in the central nervous system, especially in the spinal canal. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) used the joint diagnostic term “SFT/hemangiopericytoma” according to the pathological characteristics of mesenchymal fibroblasts, which can be divided into three levels according to specific characteristics. The diagnosis process of intraspinal SFT is complex and tedious. It has relatively variable imaging manifestations and specific pathological changes of NAB2-STAT6 fusion gene, which often requires differential diagnosis with neurinoma, meningioma, etc. The treatment of SFT is mainly resection, which can be assisted by radiotherapy to improve the prognosis. Conclusion Intraspinal SFT is a rare disease. Surgery is still the main treatment. It is recommended to combine preoperative or postoperative radiotherapy. The efficacy of chemotherapy is still unclear. In the future, more studies are expected to establish a systematic diagnosis and treatment strategy for intraspinal SFT.
