ELISA was used to examine fasting plasma resistin.Resistin level was significantly increased in type 2 diabetic patients as compared with normal controls(P<0.05).Fasting plasma resistin level was not statistically different(P>0.05)between the patients with and without diabetic microangiopathy.After treatment with insulin,the level of resistin was significantly dropped.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the therapeutic effect and adverse reactions of Carboplatin combined with Paclitaxel in treatment of NSCLC.METHODS:37patients with pathologically or cytologically proved NSCLCⅢb orⅣreceived treat?ment.Paclitaxel(150mg/m 2 )in saline iv drip for4-6h and Carboplatin(AUC6)iv drip alteratively administrated for21days.At least2therapeutic courses were carried out.RESULTS:Among37patients,3had complete remission,15partial re?mission13kept stable and6were progressive with a total effective rate of48.6%and one-year survival rate of51.3%.The common adverse reactions were muscular soreness and bone-marrow inhibition,however,most patients could tolerate the side effects.CONCLUSION:The therapeutic effect of Carboplatin and Paclitaxel on advanced NSCLC is reliable and the patients are tolerant of the side effects.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the age, sex, etiology, diagnosis and treatment time of nasal bone fractures. METHOD: Clinical data of 202 cases with nasal bone fractures treated in the hospital were retrospectively analysed. RESULT: A total of 202 cases,163 men (80. 7%) and 39 women (19. 3%). Fifty-two patients had a relationship with alcohol consumption, and all of them were males. The most frequent reasons of the injury were fight 46. 5% (94 cases) followed by falling-down 21. 3% (43 cases), traffic accidents 19. 3% (39 cases), works related 6. 5% (13 cases), sport injuries 5. 9% (12 cases) and others 0. 5% (1 cases). Patients distribution in seasons were: spring 54 cases (26.7%), summer 42 cases (20.8%), autumn 58 cases (28.7%), winter 48 cases (23. 8%). Diagnosis of nasal bone fractures were made positively by x-ray films in 79. 7% of cases, but 100% by CT. Positive predictive value of CT was superior to that of X-ray films in the diagnosis of nasal bone fracture. CONCLUSION High morbidity of nasal bone fracture was seen in the age group of 20-29 years, and predominantly in male. Fight was found to be the main etiologic factor. We think that CT is necessary for diagnosing nasal bone fracture.

Current cancer therapies, including chemotherapies and radiotherapies, can induce toxic side effects to normal tissues with low specificity to cancer cells and usually have limited efficacy as results of drug resistance. Phototherapies kill cancer cells under irradiation of light, preferably near-infrared light with high tissue penetration, and would normally show little toxic effect in the dark. Over the past decade, nanomaterial-based phototherapies have made tremendous progress worldwide. These therapies show remarkable results against cancer in many preclinical studies. This study reviews the recent achievements in the use of functional nanomaterials for photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and photo-controlled therapeutic platforms and discusses future prospects and challenges in this field.

Objective:To establish the quality control for Yangxueyin oral liquids. Methods:TLC was applied to identify Angeli-cae Sinensis Radix and Fructus Ziziphi Jujubae. The content of astragaloside A in Yangxueyin oral liquids was determined by HPLC-ELSD. A Luna C18(250 mm ×4.6 mm,5 μm)column was used, the mobile phase was acetonitrile-water (38∶62)with the flow rate of 0. 8 ml·min-1 , and the column temperature was 40℃. The temperature of the drift tube was 85℃, and the flow rate of the carrier air was 2.0 L·min-1. Results: The linear range of astragaloside A was 0.522-4.176 μg(r =0.999 8). The average recovery was 97. 9% with RSD of 1. 03% (n=6). Conclusion:The method is convenient, sensitive and accurate, which can be used in the quality control of Yangxueyin oral liquids.

Objective To research the pathogen characteristics and influencing factors for peritonsillar peripheral space infections in acute tonsillitis patients,so as to take measure to reduce the peritonsillar peripheral space infections.Methods 898 acute tonsillitis patients who received treatment were chosen as study subjects.Bacteria analyzer was adopted to identify pathogens.Chi-square test was used to analyze the univariate factor,and logistic regression analysis was conducted to different factors.Results 228 patients were involved the complications of peritonsillar peripheral space infections(cellulitis in 52 cases or abscesses in 176 cases),and the infection rate was 25.4％.Bacterial cultivation performed in 177 patients and positive results were detected in 107.The top three infections bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (21.5％),Streptococcus viridians (19.6％) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (15.9％).Univariate factor analysis found that the history diabetes and peritonsillar peripheral space infections,age,acute phase of smoking and drinking,fatigue,nutritional status,class of antibiotic use,tonsillitis type,educational level and the long first diagnosis time were risk factors for peritonsillar peripheral space infections,and the differences were significant (x2 =39.851,8.818,89.041,87.266,30.417,21.499,13.472,64.548,12.223,62.871,70.749,all P ＜ 0.05).Logistic regression analysis found that acute phase of smoking and drinking,age,fatigue,tonsillitis type and the long first diagnosis time were independent risk factors for peritonsillar peripheral space infections patients with acute tonsillitis (OR =2.873,5.311,5.876,0.290,2.244,2.369,all P ＜ 0.05).Nutritional status and educational level had beneficial effect to peritonsillar infections event (OR =0.290,0.461,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Acute tonsillitis is easy to cause peritonsillar peripheral space infection,it should be paid much attention and strengthened prevention.The pathogens causing peritonsillar peripheral space infections in acute tonsillitis is still mainly Staphylococcus aureus.After the analysis of related factors,the certain measures should be taken to reduce the complications rate of peritonsillar peripheral space infections in acute tonsillitis.

Purpose To construct expression vector of Fas extracellular region gene(eFas) ,to express and purify recombination protein and to prepare polyclonal antibody, which have laid a foundation of studying its function. Methods The eFas gene encoding sequence was acquired through overlapping PCR, and pET-22b ( + )/eFas expression vector was constructed. Then this vector was transformed into E. coli Rosetta-gami. Re-combinant protein was expression being induced by IPTG,and was purified using Ni-NTA matrix of affinity chromatograph. The purity of recombination protein was identified by SDS-PAGE. Hereafter, the purified eFas recombinant protein was immunized to New Zealand white rabbit in order to prepare polyclonal antibody. The titer of polyclonal antibody was determined by ELISA. Results The encoding sequence and expression vector of eFas was obtained while the interest protein was mainly expressed in the inclusion body. The eFas fusion protein's expression quantity accounts for more than 30% proportion of total E. coli protein. The eFas protein we obtained was provided with the purity of at least 95 % . Conclusion The successful constrution, expression and purification of FasL fusion protein and preparation of polyclonal antibody will provide some material for further studies of Fas.

Objective To discuss the operative techniques of endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery for the resection of pituitary adenoma in elderly patients.Methods From June 2003 to June 2012,a retrospective analysis of 42 elderly patients with pituitary adenoma was conducted.Computed tomography (CT) scan,magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan,and endocrinological examinations were performed in all patients before operation.All patients underwent endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery for the resection of pituitary adenoma.Results The tumors were totally removed in 25 cases (59.5％),sub-totally removed in 8 cases (19.1％) and partly removed in 9 cases (21.4％).1 patient died after operaion.Patients were followed up for 6-36 months.The visual acuity and visual field were improved.Hormone replacement therapy were needed in 20 patients due to hypopituitarism.Tumor residuals were found in 12 patients,among whom 5 patients were treated by γ-knife radiosurgery.Conclusions The endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal operation is minimally invasive and safe for the treatment of pituitary adenoma in elderly patients.The strengthening of perioperative management is the key to the successful operation.
