Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2017;25(9):800-804
Objective To explore the influence of case management on short-term intensive insulin therapy effect,including treatment compliance,safety and glucose metabolic index in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients in outpatient clinic. Methods A total of 100 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients in outpatient clinic were enrolled in this study and randomly divided into 2 groups:intervention group (n=52)and control group (Con,n = 48 ). The intervention group received standard insulin injection case management provided by a team composed of doctors and nurse case manager. The control group received routine insulin injection education in outpatient. Attitudes and compliance of insulin treatment,incidence of hypoglycemia,fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1 c ) were compared between the two groups at baseline and after 3 months follow up. Results After intervention,the total score and scores by dimension of insulin treatment attitude were higher in intervention group than in Con group[(76.30 ± 4.06 )vs (60.53 ± 3.18 )score,P < 0.01 ]. Insulin treatment compliance was better in intervention group than in Con group (82.7% vs 64.6%,P < 0.05 ). The hypoglycemia incidence was lower in intervention group than in Con group (19.2% vs 31.3%,P >0.05),although without statistical difference. FBG and HbA1 c were all lower in intervention group than in Con group [(6.79 ± 1.41 )vs (7.51±1.15)mmol/L,(6.62±0.69)% vs (7.15±0.75)%,P <0.05]. Conclusion Case management could effectively improve the insulin treatment attitude and compliance,and then optimize glycemic control innewly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients treated with short-term intensive insulin therapy in outpatient clinic.
2.Clinical significance of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells in patients with aplastic anemia
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2016;25(7):438-441
Acquired aplastic anemia(AA) is a disease of bone marrow failure mediated by autoimmune T cells. CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells, which have immunosuppressive and anergic, belong to a subpopulation of T cells specialized for immune regulation and play important roles in the development of autoimmune T cells. Foxp3 plays a significant role in the development and function of regulatory T cells which have been confirmed by many investigations. In recent years, the relationship between CD4 +CD25 +Foxp3 + regulatory T cells and AA has become a hot spot of research. What’s more, its clinical significance is becoming more and more obvious in AA.

Chinese Journal of Digestion 2015;35(2):99-103
Objective To assess the diagnostic value of cytokeratin 18 fragment M30 (CK18-M30) and Fas in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD),especially nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).Methods Among 58 patients with NAFLD,36 patients with NAFLD received liver biopsy.According to NAFLD activity score (NAS) and liver fibrosis score,patients were divided into NASH group (24 cases) and non-NASH group (12 cases).And at the same period,15 healthy individuals were set as healthy control group.The serum level of CK18 M30 and Fas were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA).Rank sum test was performed to analyze the differences in the level of CK18-M30 and Fas between groups.The diagnostic value of CK18 M30 and Fas were assessed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.Results The level of serum CK18-M30 of NAFLD group was significantly higher than that of healthy control group (97.24 U/L (86.06 to 113.12 U/L) vs 78.41 U/L (74.29 to 80.76 U/L),Z=-4.206,P<0.01)).The level of serum CK18-M30 of NASH group was higher than that of non-NASH group (111.06 U/L (94.30 to 142.68 U/L) vs 89.00 U/L (83.56 to 106.50 U/L),Z=-2.233,P<0.05)).The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of CK18-M30 in the diagnosis of NASH was 0.73 (0.56,0.90),and the sensitivity and specificity of CK18-M30 in diagnosis of NASH was 79.2% and 58.3%,respectively.The AUC of Fas in diagnosis of NASH was 0.58 (0.38,0.77),while the sensitivity and specificity of Fas in diagnosis of NASH was 54.2% and 66.7 %.The serum level of Fas increased in FAFLD group compared with healthy control group,and in NASH group compared with non-NASH group,however the differences were not signifincant (both P> 0.05).Conclusions The level of CK18-M30 has certain value in the diagnosis of NASH.The diagnostic value of Fas in NASH needs more samples in further study.

Chinese Journal of Immunology 2016;32(9):1369-1373
Objective:To study the correllation of genetic polymorphisms of IL-10 polymorphic loci with ulcerative colitis sus-ceptibility and its influence on clinical outcomes.Methods:A total of 80 patients with ulcerative colitis were selected as case group and the others by sex and age matched healthy subjects as control group according to the case-control study design.Peripheral venous blood samples were drawn and DNA was extracted from all subjects prior to treatment.PCR primers of -819T/C(rs1800871),-592A/C (rs1800872),-1082G/A(rs1800896) were designed for PCR amplification.The fragments produced from human genomic DNA were performed by restriction enzyme digestion of amplified PCR products,and further separated using agarose gel electrophoresis.Relative risk(OR) and 95%confidence interval(95%CI) were calculated by the Logistic regression,in order to evaluate the correlation of IL-10 gene polymorphism with susceptibility of ulcerative colitis and clinical outcomes.Results:(1)The distribution frequency of genotype AA,GG and AG of polymorphic loci rs1800896 in cases patients were significantly different from that in control group(P<0.01).(2) Compared to rs1800896 genotype AA,genotype GG were significantly associated with increased risk for ulcerative colitis(P<0.01)and the decreased clinical remission rate ( P<0.01 ).( 3 ) The distribution frequency of genotype CC, CT and TT of polymorphic loci rs1800871 were not significantly different between groups(P>0.05).(4)The distribution frequency of genotype AA,AC and CC of polymorphic loci rs1800872 were not significantly different between groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:IL-10 polymorphic loci rs1800896 genotype GG would be associated with increased susceptibility to ulcerative colitis,and poor prognosis of patients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Sec-O-Glucosylhamaudol on inflammatory mediator and cytokine( NO and IL-6)production in Lipopolysaccharide(LPS) stimulated murine macrophage(RAW264.7).Methods: Macrophages were induced with LPS,and incubated with different concentrations of Sec-O-Glucosylhamaudol(20,40,80 μg/ml),the quantity of NO production was measured by Griess reagent;the IL-6 production were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),the expression of nitric oxide synthase( iNOS) in cells were detected by Western blot;the expression of iNOS and IL-6 mRNA were analyzed by real-time PCR.Results:Each concentrations of Sec-O-Glucosylhamaudol(20,40,80 μg/ml) inhibited the production of NO and IL-6 in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells(P<0.01).This compound also reduced the mRNA expression of iNOS and IL-6.Conclusion:Sec-O-Glu-cosylhamaudol exhibited anti-inflammatory activity by inhibited the NO and IL-6 production in LPS stimulated RAW264.7 cells.
8.Study on Flash scan combined with iterative reconstruction in chest CT scan: image quality and radiation dose
Journal of Chinese Physician 2015;17(12):1832-1835
Objective To assess radiation dose and image quality of chest CT examinations that acquired with Flash scan technique combined with iterative reconstruction.Methods Thirty continuous patients required no-contrast chest CT with Flash scan mode and contrast enhanced chest CT with conventional CT scan mode.For each examination,the images were reconstructed by filter back projection (FBP) and sinogram affirmed iterative reconstruction (SAFIRE).The volume CT dose index (CTDIvol),dose-length product (DLP),and effective dose (ED) were estimated.The image noise,signal to noise ratio (SNR),overall subjective image quality,and respiratory motion artifacts were evaluated blindly by two radiologists.Results For Flash scan and conventional scan,SAFIRE reduced the image noise 35% and 16%,respectively;and increased SNR 21.9% and 25% compared to FBP,respectively (P <0.05).There was significant lower subjective image scores acquired by SAFIRE than by FBP.Flash scan reduced the CTDIvol (mGy) 40.9%,DLP 32.1%,and ED 26.9% compared to conventional CT scan mode.The motion artifact scores were reduced significantly with Flash scan mode compared to conventional scan mode.Conclusions Flash scan technique of the chest can obtain image with minimum respiratory motion artifact due to dramatically increased scan speed,and when SAFIRE was combined with,it reduces significantly radiation dose and image noise.
