Objective: To investigate the effect of oat on blood glucose、insulin and serum lipid in aged patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus.Methods: Blood glucose(FBG,PBG),insulin(F-INS,P-INS) and serum lipid(TG,TC) were determined in eighty aged patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus before and after 50-100 g oat intake. Results: FBG,PBG and P-INS were decreased significantly(P

Objective To investigate the extracellular and intracellular free amino acid concentrations in healthy subjects and its changes in chronic renal failure(Car) .Methods The free amino acid concentrations in the plasma, in the erythrocytes and in the skeletal muscle of 15 patients with CRF were compared with those in ten healthy subjects.Results In healthy subjects, there was little ~difference between the concentrations in erythrocytes and in plasma for most amino acids; but in ~erythrocytes the concentrations of Asp, Glu, Ser were higher than those in plasma (P

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of polyethersulfone highlux dialyzer for maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods Thirty-six maintenance hemodialysis patients were randomizedresigned into two groups,polyethersulfone 14HF(PES-14HF)group and polyethersulfone 150DS(PES-150DS)group,based on a random number table. The patients from two groups received different dialyzer hemodialysis for over 3.5 hours/each time respectively. Changes of serum creatinine,urea,β2-microglobulin,hemoglobin and albumin levels were measured for determination of the efficacy and safety evaluation. Results In the comparison between before or after hemodialysis,the level of serum creatinine,urea,β2-microglobulin levels decreased significantly to(333.8 ± 89. 5)μmol/L,(7. 0 ± 1.9)mmol/L,(22. 9 ± 1.7)mmol/L from(990. 2 ± 191.2)μmol/L,(24. 7 ± 4. 1)mmol/L,(13.6 ± 3.3)mmol/L respectively in the PES1 4 HF group(P ＜ 0.01);the level of serum creatinine,urea,β2-microglobulin levels decreased significantly to(395.5 ± 86.1)μmol/L,(8. 1± 2. 8)mnol/L,(18.0 ± 3.0)mmol/L from(1059. 5 ± 179. 4)μmol/L,(25.3 ± 4. 8)mmol/L,(22. 3 ± 2. 9)mmol/L respectively in the PES-150DS group(P ＜ 0. 01). We found no significant differences in each measured index between two types of hemodialysis(P ＞ 0. 05 respectively),while the level of β2 -microglobulin levels decreased more significantly in the PES14HF group(42. 81 ± 12. 48)mg/L than PES-150DS group(24. 21 ± 13. 24)mg/L(P =0. 017). Conclusions The efficacy and safety of the PES-14HF hollow fiber membrane hemodialyzer is equivalent to that of the PES-150DS hemodialyzer in hemodialysis for uremic patients.

After a description of the new connotations of information literacy education in medical undergraduates in the era of omnimedica such as visual information literacy education, media information literacy education and mobile information literacy education, new strategies were proposed for the information literacy education in medical undergraduates in the era of omnimedia, including updating teaching model, adding education contents, and improving omnimedia presentation ability.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of acute hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis in pregnant women after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET).Methods Clinical data of 11 cases of hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis in women after IVF-ET admitted in Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital from January 2003 to October 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The clinical manifestations of acute hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis were non-specific.All cases presented with fever,and some were accompanied by headache,but no typical respiratory manifestation was observed.Chest X-ray showed typical military lesions.Miscarriage occurred in 11 patients within 2 to 5 weeks after the onset of fever,including 3 received artificial abortion.Conclusions The outcome of hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis in pregnant women after IVF-ET is less favorable.Physicians should be aware of tuberculosis in pregnant women after IVF-ET,especially for those with long-term fever and not responding to anti-inflammatory treatment.

Hair follicle stem cells located bulge region of hair follicle,had characteristics of all adult stem cells,including slow-cycling,undifferentiated.They also had the abilities of self-renew and proliferation in vitro.CD34,K15,K19 and Nestin might be the makers of the hair follicle stem cells.They could be induced to differentiate to neurons,glial cells,keratinocytes,smooth muscle cells,melanocytes In vitro and neurons,melanocytes in vivo.There were many signals in regulating the hair follicle stem cells involved Wnt signal,BM Psignal and NFATc1 etc.

PBL tutoring is quite different from the traditional tutoring and emphasizes the importance of student-centred instead of teacher-centred education.In PBL,teachers guide students to find answers to their own questions and facilitate students' learning process.Therefore,the tutor role is complex and has a fundamental change.

This article discusses the ethical problems about Senile patients of dermatosis and venereal disease in the diagnosis and treatment.The problems mainly include:(1)moral responsibility is not strong and skills are not taken into account when inquiring history;(2)it is not careful enough and personality of patients may be hurt when making medical examination;(3)attitude is not solemn and operation not normative;(4)treatment is not normative and charcteristics of senile patients are not considered.We bring forward some suggestions including of:(1)moral responsibility must be strong enough and skills should be taken into account when inquiring history;(2)it must be careful engough and personality of patients may be respected when making medical examination;(3)attitude must be solemn and operation must be normative;(4)characteristics of senile patients must be considered and treatment should be reasonable;(5)life of senile patients should be respected and cherished,the quality of life should be attached importance to:
