Objective To develop a nonaqueous electrolyte electrochemical detector in order to solve the problems of shorter average life span and operating temperature range in aqueous electrolyte electrochemical detector for unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine(UDMH).Methods Nonaqueous electrolyte was utilized in this kind of electrochemical detector comprised of n-mehyl-2-pyrrolidone with conductive compatible salts,such as tetrabutyl ammonium tetrafluoroborate,which had much lower evaporating pressure and freezing point than aqueous electrolyte ones.Three-electrode potential electrochemical system was also used,composing a sensing electrode,a counter electrode and a reference electrode.The three electrodes were all teflon-bonded diffusion electrodes which were prepared by spraying the noble metal catalyst dispersion onto the Teflon film.Results The experiment result showed that the average life span could be over two years compared with the aqueous electrolyte electrochemical detector of one year life span.Operating temperature range was expanded to-20 ℃～+40 ℃.However,the response time was nearly five minutes.Conclusion The detector can be used for leakage checking in the places where a large quantities of UDMH are used or stored.

The effects of cyclosporine A (CsA) on glucose metabolism and betancell functions in vivo in rats were investigated. CsA (20mg/kg, 2/d) was given to Spraguer-Dawley rats for 14d. After a 1.5g/kg body weight glucose load by gavage the plasma glucose at 1 h and the area under curve (AUC) of plasma glucose were higher in the CsA-treated group than in the control (P

ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence of thyroid nodules and metabolic syndrome,and to analyze the correlation between thyroid nodules and the components of metabolic syndrome.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 8 217 people in our hospital health check-up center.Height,body weight,blood pressure,blood glucose,lipid profile,and liver function were measured and ultrasonic scanning of thyroid was performed.Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed according to criteria of CDS/2004.Results ( 1 ) The prevalence of thyroid nodules was 42.1％.The prevalence in women (49.6％) was significantly higher than that in men( 38.4％,P＜0.01.),and it was progressively increased with aging in both sexes.(2) The overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 21.7％.The prevalence in men( 28.5％ ) was significantly higher than that in women( 12.8％,P＜0.01 ),and was increased with age until 70 years old.( 3 ) Body mass index,systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,blood glucose,triglyceride in subject with thyroid nodules (TN) were higher than those in subjects without ( non-TN,P＜0.05 ).No difference in the levels of HDL-C was found between cases with TN and non-TN ( P＞0.05 ).(4) Logistic regression analysis revealed that the existence of thyroid nodules was significantly associated with overweight/obesity ( OR =1.263,95 ％ CI 1.134-1.407 ) after adjusting age and sex.Conclusion( 1 ) The prevalences of thyroid nodules and metabolic syndrome are high,and both prevalence increase with advancing age.(2) Obesity or overweight might be a risk factor for the development of thyroid nodules.

Objective　To evaluate the changes and clinical s ignificances of serum growth hormore (GH) and GH binding protein (GHBP) in patie nts with obstructive jaundice (OJ). Methods　Serum levels of GH, GHBP, insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ (IGF-Ⅰ), endotoxin, prealbumin concentr ation and liver function in 60 male in patients with OJ were detected 1 d preope ratively and 1, 3, 7 d postoperatively. And 40 male patients with simple gallbla dder stone hospitalized in the same period were served as control. Resu lts　The levels of GH, GHBP and IGF-Ⅰ were significantly lower in pati ents with obstructive jaundice than in control group(P<0.01), which was corr elated with the levels of bilirubin, endotoxin and prealbumin (P<0.01). Conclusion　The obviously downregulation of GH/GHBP axis in patients with OJ probably results from the inbibition of expression of GH receptor due t o nutritional dysfunction and endotoxemia, and further aggravate the nutritional dysfuction and endoxemia, which may be one of the important factors in the path ophysiological changes of OJ.

Objective To explore the surgical method of double flag-shaped flap to correct the shortened middle part of upper lip deformity of post burn.Methods From January 2009 to December 2013,9 cases of shortened middle part of upper lip post burn deformity were corrected by double flag-shaped flap,including 4 males and 5 females who aged from 18 to 37 years.They received the surgery from 1 to 3 years after burn.The main clinical manifestations included the upper lip eversion,too short middle part of upper lip,the destruction of the normal anatomy philtrum,philtrum column deformity and poor continuity vermilion border.Results The height of the middle of upper lip of 9 patients enrolled in the experimental treatment was lengthened by 4 to 6 mm after operation,which fundamentally corrected the shortened middle part of upper lip deformity of post burn.The patients were followed up for a period of 3 months to 2 years and received satisfactory results.The operative incisions of 9 cases were primary healing,with no flap blood supply disorders,wound infection,dehiscence and other complications.Conclusions Double flag-shaped flap of the upper lip at the nostrils bottom is a simple and good effective method to correct the shortened middle part of upper lip deformity of post burn.

A total of 118 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were divided into acarbose treatment group ( A group,n =58 ) and no acarbose treatment group ( B group,n =60),and 57 healthy subjects were used as control group (C group).The quantification of fecal bifidobacteria and enterococcus faecalis in these subjects was made by realtime PCR.The results showed that fecal bifidobacteria contents in A and B groups were lower and enterococcus faecalis contents were higher compared with C group.After four weeks of intervention,fecal bifidobacteria contents in A and B groups increased ( P＜0.01 ),especially in A group,while enterococcus faecalis contents decreased ( P＜0.05 )compared with the baseline.Univariate correlation analysis showed that bifidobacteria content was negatively associated with lipopolysaccharides(LPS),advanced glycation index,high sensitive C reactive protein ( hs-CRP),and body mass index ( BMI ) at baseline ( P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ).The enterococcus faecalis content was positively associated with levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1,LPS,tumor necrosis factor-α,hs-CRP,plasminogen activator inhibitor-1,BMI,and HbA1c (P ＜0.01 ).After four weeks of intervention,the above associations disappeared.Stepwise multivariate regression showed that basal BMI,HbA1c,and age contributed to the increase in the number of enterococcus faecalis,and BMI negatively contributed to the decrease in number of bifidobacteria.
