目的验证JOA X-线骨质疏松诊断标准的可靠性.方法47名女性病人(年龄65.3±7.2岁)行腰椎常规X-线检查和第三腰椎正、侧位DEXA骨密度测量.用t检验验证X-线骨质疏松等级间骨密度的差异性,用Spearman相关性分析法检验X-线骨质疏松等级与骨密度值的相关性.结果X-线骨质疏松等级间骨密度具有显著性差异(P＜0.01),X-线骨质疏松等级与第三腰椎侧位骨密度值之间相关性最高(r=0.714).结论通过腰椎X-线片按照JOA标准划分骨质疏松等级,可以作为粗略检查腰椎骨质疏松的方法.     

低铅染毒大鼠体内脂质过氧化及抗氧化水平改变

目的：观察低剂量铅染毒后大鼠体内脂质过氧化水平改变,为铅的毒作用机制研究提供依据。方法：以醋酸铅为受试物,雄性Wistar大鼠为受试对象,分别观察其脏器脂质过氧化水平改变。结果：低铅染毒后,大鼠各脏器超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、谷胱苷肽过氧化物酶（GSH－Px）及过氧化脂质（LPO）均有不同程度改变（P＜0.05,P＜0.01）,而巯基（－SH）含量仅肝脏变化较明显。结论：较低剂量的铅即可引起体内脂质过氧化水平的改变,而这种变化可能是铅的毒作用途径之一。

自发性高血压大鼠左室不同部位心肌纤维化程度的改变: 病理变化与心肌密度改变的对比观察

目的：探讨自发性高血压大鼠（SHR）左室室间隔、前壁、后壁及侧壁 心肌纤维化的动态变化,以及心脏超声显像结合计算机分析检测心肌密度这一方法的可靠性。方法：应用病理及生化检查,检测SHR左室室间隔、间壁、后壁及侧壁心肌纤维化的病变程度;通过心脏超声显像并结合计算机分析,检测大鼠的心肌密度的变化。结果：14周时,代表心肌纤维化水平的参数羟脯氨酸浓度（HC）在SHR室间隔、前壁及后壁即已增高,以室间隔最为明显,而左室侧壁虽有增高趋势,但未达到显著性水平;24周时各部位均明显增加,但各部位之间的差异明显减少。在14周时,代表血管周围纤维化水平的参数血管周围胶原面积（PVCA）在左室各部位较对照组均显著增高,24周时增高更为明显,但各部位之间无显著性差异。而代表间质纤维化水平的参数胶原容积分数（CVF）在14周时只有室间隔显著增高,其余各部位无明显变化;24周时各部位均有显著增高,但仍以室间隔增高最为明显。心肌灰度均值在14周时各部位均较对照组显著增高,各部位之间比较,室间隔最高,侧壁最低,二者之间有显著性差别。24周时各部位均较14周显著增高,但各部位之间差别变小。在室间隔,灰度离散度在14及24周均未出现显著性改变,而其他部位则在14周时增高,24周时趋于正常。结论：在高血压发病过程中,心肌纤维化尤其是间质纤维化的变化程度是不均衡的,以室间隔程度最重,左室侧壁最轻;应用心脏超声显像并结合计算机分析测定心肌密度,可客观地反应心肌纤维化的程度。

Partial nephrectomy should be classified as an inpatient procedure: Results from a statewide quality improvement collaborative

ObjectivesTo examine length of stay (LOS) and readmission rates for all minimally-invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN) and MI radical nephrectomy (MIRN) performed for localized renal masses ≤7 cm in size (cT1RM) within 12 Michigan urology practices. Both RN and PN are commonly performed in treating cT1RM. Although technically more complex and associated with higher complication rates, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services considers MIPN an outpatient procedure and MIRN is inpatient.MethodsWe collected data for renal surgeries for cT1RM at MUSIC-KIDNEY practices between May 2017–February 2020. Data abstractors recorded clinical, radiographic, pathologic, surgical, and short-term follow-up data into the registry for cT1RM patients.ResultsWithin MUSIC-KIDNEY, 807 patients underwent MI renal surgery at 12 practices. Median LOS for cT1RM patients after MIPN (n = 531, 66%) was 2 days and after MIRN (n = 276, 34%) was also 2 days. Among patients undergoing laparoscopic or robotic PN, 171 (32%), 230 (43%), and 130 (24%) stayed ≤1, 2, ≥3 days. Among patients undergoing laparoscopic or robotic RN, 81 (29%), 112 (41%), and 83 (30%) stayed ≤1, 2, ≥3 days. No significant difference was observed between MIPN and MIRN on LOS commensurate with outpatient surgery (≤1-day, OR = 0.97, P = 0.87).ConclusionsLess than one-third of patients had a LOS ≤1-day and LOS was comparable for MIPN and MIRN. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services should be advised that MIPN is a more complex surgery than MIRN, most patients receiving a MIPN will require a ≥2-day hospital stay and it would be more appropriate to classify MIPN an inpatient procedure with MIRN.
