Objective To investigate the use of oral anti-diabetic drugs and sugar blood control situation in advanced aged patient with diabetic mellitus in a community health centre in order to provide references for rational drug use. Methods A cross-sectional survey about oral anti-diabetic drugs was carried out in senile diabetic patients who visited the community health centre and established complete health documents voluntarily from February 2012 to February 2013. Results There were 176 cases of advanced aged patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus, of which, 107 cases were female and 69 cases were male, whose age ranged from 80 to 94. Among 176 cases, there were 107 (60.80%) patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus combined with hypertension, chronic heart diseases, and stoke; 155 had oral anti-diabetic drugs (88.06%). 67.19% of patients who took one oral anti-diabetic drug chose α-glycosidase inhibitors, followed by sulfonylurea. 53.73% of patients who received combination therapy chose glycosidase inhibitors and sulfonylurea. For the treatment of anti-diabetic drugs, 73.68% of patients met the criteria (fasting blood sugar: no more than 8.0 mmol/L), with control rates of 73.56% for α-glycosidase inhibitors and 72.58% for sulfonylurea. More than half of the patients could not be evaluated for their glycosylated hemoglobin levels were not tested. Conclusion Doctors working in community health centres should choose oral anti-diabetic drugs according to patients’ own conditions when treating advanced aged patients with diabetic mellitus in order to avoid adverse reaction such as hypoglycemia. Glycosidase inhibitors are the mostly used drug in the community health centre because it is safe with less adverse reaction when used in senile people and it could ideally control their blood sugara.
目的 比较股骨近端抗旋髓内钉（PFNA）与动力髋螺钉（DHS）两种方法内固定治疗高龄股骨粗隆间骨折的疗效。 方法 2007年1月－2011年1月分别采用PFNA、DHS治疗高龄股骨间粗隆骨折（EvansⅠ～Ⅳ型）共68例，其中PFNA组36例，平均年龄81.5岁；DHS组32例，平均年龄82.3岁。两组患者在年龄、性别、骨折分型、合并症以及受伤至手术时间方面比较差异均无统计学意义（P＞0.05），有可比性。 结果 术后68例患者均获随访，随访时间6～26个月。与DHS组比较，PFNA组手术时间短、术中出血少，差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）；PFNA组骨性愈合时间短，但两组差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。术后DHS组出现1例髋内翻、1例拉力螺钉切出股骨头颈，PFNA组出现1例主钉退钉，两组术后并发症发生率比较差异有统计学意义（P＜0.01）。术后1年PFNA组髋关节Harris评分显著高于DHS组，差异有统计学意义（P＜0.01）。 结论 PFNA与DHS两种固定方法的骨性愈合时间短、术后并发症少、髋关节功能恢复好，是治疗股骨粗隆间骨折的良好方式，尤其是PFNA能减少手术时间和术中出血量，手术创伤小，对高龄且不能耐受较大手术者可作为一种首选术式。
目的 回顾分析不同内固定方式对老年股骨粗隆间骨折的临床疗效。 方法 1999年3月－2009年5月采用内固定手术治疗121例股骨粗隆间骨折患者，根据内固定方式不同分为4组：动力髋螺钉（DHS；A组43例）、经皮加压钢板（PCCP；B组19例）、股骨近端髓内钉（PFN；C组27例）、Gamma钉（D组32例）。4组患者年龄、骨折类型（Tronzo-Evans分型）等一般资料比较差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05），具有可比性。记录手术时间、术中出血量及术后引流量、术中术后并发症、骨折临床愈合时间、术后髋关节功能恢复程度，比较评价各组临床疗效。 结果 术后各组患者切口均Ⅰ期愈合，无伤口感染等早期并发症发生。患者均获随访，随访时间18～108个月，平均56.4个月。与A组比较，B、C、D组手术时间明显缩短，术中出血量及术后引流量减少，骨折愈合时间缩短，差异均有统计学意义（P＜0.01），A组较差；B、C、D各组间两两比较差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。术后并发症发生率A组较高，与其余各组比较差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。末次随访时各组髋关节功能Harris评分比较差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。 结论 B、D组及C组3种手术方法在治疗老年患者股骨粗隆间骨折具有创伤小、并发症少等优势，与A组法比较更有利于老年患者术后康复，但应注意骨折的良好复位及内固定物位置。

Objective To explore the effects of recombinant human growth hormone （rhGH） on senile patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy. MethodsFortysix patients were divided into the therapeutic group (rhGH, n=17) and control group (n=29). Both were treated with parenteral nutrition. In the therapeutic group, rhGH (8 u/d) was given hypodermically for 7 days. After operation the levels of albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, and immunoglobulin were measured. Postoperative fatigue syndrome and the average length of stay in hospital were observed too. ResultsAfter operation the levels of albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, and immunoglobulin in the therapeutic group were significantly higher than those of control group. The degree of postoperative fatigue syndrome in the therapeutic group was less than that of control group. The average length of stay in hospital was significantly shortened. Conclusion The early application of rhGH in senile patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy can enhance immune function, reduce the incidence of infection, promote the postoperative recovery, shorten the average length of stay in hospital,decrease the mortality, increase the safety of operation and improve the postoperative life quality of senile patients.
Objective To explore the effectiveness of bipolar femoral head replacement combined with tension band wire fixation for intertrochanteric fracture in elderly osteoporotic patients. Methods Bipolar femoral head replacement combined with tension band wire fixation were used for intertrochanteric fracture in 48 elderly osteoporotic patients between January 2004 and December 2010. Of 48 patients, 15 were male and 33 were female, aged 90-99 years (mean, 94.1 years). All fractures were caused by falling, and pathological fracture was excluded. It was 2-7 days (mean, 4.2 days) from fracture to surgery. According to the Tronzo Evans classification, 25 cases were rated as type IV, 20 cases as type III, and 3 cases as type II. And all of the cases were accompanied with severe osteoporosis and accompanied by more than one medical diseases, and 10 cases had spinal compression fracture. Results All patients underwent the operation successfully. Six cases died of underlying medical illness within 2 years postoperatively. A total of 39 cases were followed up 2-7 years, averaged 3.1 years. After operation, short-term mental disorders occurred in 9 cases, suspected urinary tract infection in 2 cases, sacral rear bedsore in 1 case, hip pain in 1 case, thigh pain in 1 case, and deep vein thrombosis of affected limb in 1 case. All the incisions healed by first intension, and X-ray film showed bone union in all cases; no complications of bone osteolysis, prosthesis loosening, subsidence, rupture, and heterotopic ossification occured postoperatively. No case needed revision. According to the Harris score system, the results were excellent in 5 cases, good in 28 cases, fair in 5 cases, and poor in 1 case, with an excellent and good rate of 84.6%; the score at 2 years was significantly higher than that at 6 weeks (t= — 14.79, P=0.00). The physical health score and mental health score of SF-12 at 2 years postoperatively were significantly higher than those at 6 weeks postoperatively (P lt; 0.05). The visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 6 weeks and 2 years postoperatively were significantly lower than those at preoperation (P lt; 0.05), and the score at 2 years was significantly lower than that at 6 weeks (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion The bipolar femoral head replacement combined with tension band wire fixation for intertrochanteric fracture in elderly osteoporotic patients has the advantages of firm fixation, early function exercise with load bearing, pain relieving, improving hip function, and avoiding complication in bed.
Objective To investigate the operative procedure and the therapeutic effects of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients with rebuild septum bronchiale in artificial femoral head replacement. Methods From October 2005 to October 2007, 113 elderly patients with unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated with artificial femoral head replacement with fixation of femoral greater trochanter and smaller trochanter in the help of bone cement in 58 cases (test group) and with γ-type bone nail in 55 cases (control group). In test group, there were 21 males and 37 females with an average age of 75 years, including 10 cases of type IIIA, 16 cases of type IIIB and 32 cases of type IV according to Evans-Jenson standard. In control group, there were 17 males and 38 females with an average age of 72.5 years,including 13 cases of type IIIA, 14 cases of type IIIB and 28 cases of type IV according to Evans-Jenson standard. All fractures were caused by fall damage. The disease course was 3 hours to 7.5 days (mean 1.4 days). The patients of two group compl icated with osteoporosis, and compl icated by one or several compl ications of coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and chronic bronchitis. And all patients did not had fracture at other sites. There was no significant difference in general data between two groups (P gt; 0.05). Results The operations were successful, the incision healed by first intention. There were significant differences in operation time, operative blood loss and blood-transfusion between two groups (P lt; 0.05). The two group were followed 12-36 months. There were significant differences (P lt; 0.05) in the incidence rate of compl ication and the excellent and good rate of hip function (by Harris standard) between the test group (3.4% and 93.1%) and the control group (16.4% and 70.9%) 12 months after operation. Conclusion The aged patients with intertrochanteric fracture can get good result through caput femoris replacement, and rebuild septum bronchiale is of great significance.
