Objective To analyze the relationship between the serum CysC,lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and the urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio in elderly type 2 dibetic (T2CM) patients.Methods A total of 102 elderly patients with T2CM who were treated in our hospital from December 2014 to December 2015 were selected.The patients were divided into diabetic nephropathy(DN) group(mALB≥20 μg/min,48 cases)and non-diabetic nephropathy(NDN) group (mALB<20 μg/min,54 cases) according the levels of urinary mALB,while 30 cases of healthy controls were selected from physical examination center.The biochemical indexes,CysC,Lp(a) and UACR were detected among all cases.The correlation between indexes and UACR was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis,risk factors for UACR among DN patients were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis.Results There were significant differences in levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),Lp(a),urea,creatinine,fasting blood glucose(FBG),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),Cysc,and UACR among these groups (P<0.05).No correlation between CysC、Lp(a) and UACR was found in normal-control group and non-diabetic nephropathy group.In diabetic nephropathy group,there was a positive correlation between CysC,Lp(a) and UACR(r=0.658,P<0.01;r=0.525,P<0.05).The Logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes duration,CysC,Lp(a) were independent risk factors for UACR(P<0.05).Conclusion In patients with diabetic nephropathy,CysC,Lp(a) are positively correlated with UACR,and CysC is a sensitive index that reflect early renal damage in T2DM patients.Lp(a) level is one of the independent risk factors for UACR,which can reveal the kidney damage in DN patients.

Objective:To study the effect of Levocarnitine preconditionon on the myocardial ultrastructure of ischemic rats and the long last calcium channel. Methods: We randomly divided 30 rats into a control group, a Levocarnitine group and a Dihydrochloride group. After the establishment of ischemic models, we observed the ultrastructure of the ischemic myocardium with optical and transmission electron microscopes, and detected the influx of calcium in the long last calcium channel with the patch clamp. Results: Levocarnitine protected the ultrastructure of ischemic myocardium and inhibited the influx of calcium in the long last calcium channel. Conclusion: Levocarnitine can reduce the severity and extent of ischemia-induced damage to the myocardium, protect mitochondria, stabilize its oxidation, inhibit the long last calcium channel of ischemic ventricular myocytes and lessen the injury induced by calcium overload.

Objective To investigate the correhtion between cognitive impairment and cerebral atherosclerosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods Acute ischemic stroke patients without cognitive impairment were recruited before symptom onset.The Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) was used to evaluate the cognitive function.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to identify the infarct locations and sides.Magnetic resonance angiography,CT angiography and digital subtraction angiography were used to identify atherosclerotic arteries.Resul~ A total of 101 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled,including 75 (74.3％) with cognitive impairment.The proportions of age (54.54 ± 12.59 years vs.64.43 ± 10.37 years;t =-3.960,P ＜0.001),years of education ≤6 years (50.7％ vs.11.5％;x2 =12.257,P ＜ 0.001),and cerebral atherosclerosis (89.3％ vs.50.0％;x2 =18.137,P ＜0.001) of the cognitive impairment group were significantly higher than those of the normal cognitive function group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that cerebral atherosclerosis was an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment in patients with acute ischemic stroke (odds ratio 1.720,95％ confidence interval 1.005-2.942;P=0.048).MoCA score was negatively correlated with the offending vessels (r=-0.365,P＜ 0.001) and the most severe vessels of atherosclerotic degree (r=-0.243,P =0.014).Conclusions Most patients with acute ischemic stroke had cognitive impairment in the early stage after onset,and the MoCA scores was negatively correlated with the degree of cerebral atherosclerosis.Cerebral atherosclerosis was an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment in patientswith acute ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate the relationship between plasma docetaxel concentration and the efficacy as well as toxic and side effects in patients with breast cancer after chemotherapy.Methods Seventy -one patients with breast cancer who accepted AC sequential T chemotherapy regimen as first line treatment were selected from April 2015 to September 2015 in Hubei Provicial Tumor Hospital.The plasma concentration of docetaxel was detected by latex immunoturdidimetry after the docetaxel continuous infusion in each cycle.The three groups were assigned according to the concentration distribution of docetaxel:group A (plasma concentration docetaxel ≤ 2.0mg·h -1 · L -1 ),group B (2.1 -2.5mg·h -1 ·L -1 )and group C (≥2.6 mg·h -1 ·L -1 ).The relationship between the drug plasma concentration,therapeutic efficacy and adverse reactions in different docetaxel plasma concentration was analyzed retrospectively by Chi -square tests.Results The average plasma concentrations of docetaxel of the three groups were (1.55 ±0.36)mg·h -1 ·L -1 ,(2.28 ±0.13)mg·h -1 ·L -1 ,(2.87 ±0.38)mg· h -1 · L -1 respectively.The adverse reactions were enhanced with the increasing of docetaxel plasma concentration (χ2 =5.169, 4.463,3.630,P =0.023,0.035,0.047).The therapeutic efficacy of group C and group B was same(95.8%),which was higher than 87.0% of group A,but there was no statistically significant difference (χ2 =1.559,P =0.24). Conclusion Breast cancer patients whose plasma concentration of docetaxel is between 2.1 ~2.5mg·h -1 ·L -1 has a better prognosis,and its adverse reactions are controlled in a certain extent.

Objective To understand the status quo of ICU nurses career situations and its influencing factors in Shandong province. Methods A total of 247 ICU nurses were investigated by questionnaires on career condition. Results The career condition score was 79.19 ± 11.63. In addition, statistical significances were revealed by occupational career questionnaire of ICU nurses in different aspect of the scores with age, gender, working years in the ICU, access years to ICU nurses specialist, whether to participate in career training. The scores of career condition and career identity ICU nurses were different, the 40-years-older group was higher than 31-40 years group (P=0.007, P=0.005). The dimension scores of male nurses organizational commitment was higher than that of female nurses(P=0.002). The scores of career condition whose ICU working life more than 16 years were higher than those of within 5 years(P=0.013). The career condition scores of the ICU nurses with access years of specialist qualifications 7-9 years was higher than those of within 3 years(P=0.011). Conclusions The career condition score of ICU clinical nurse specialists was at a medium level, it still needs to be further improved, managers should pay attention to the different levels of nurses to provide career training, in order to promote the professional development of critical care nurses.

Objective To observe the effect of exposure of emphysema with intermittent hypoxia on oxidative stress injury of myocardial cells in rats. Methods Sixty male Wistar rats were divided randomly into four experimental groups(each n=15). The normal control group was bred normally. The emphysema group was exposed to cigarette smoke twice a day(once 30 minutes). The intermittent hypoxia(IH)group was exposed to intermittent hypoxia circumstance 8 hours/day,and the emphysema with IH group was exposed to cigarette smoke twice a day (once 30 minutes)and intermittent hypoxia circumstance 8 hours/day. Each group was exposed for 8 weeks. At the beginning of 9 weeks,the blood gas analysis was performed in 5 rats selected randomly from each group,and the rest rats were sacrificed and their hearts and lungs were taken. Under light microscope,the lung tissues stained with hematoxylin-eosin(HE)were examined. The lung pathology and the results of blood gas analysis showed that the emphysema with IH rat model was established successfully. The levels of malonaldehyde(MDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)in rat myocardium were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and the subunit p22phox mRNA expressions of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADPH)-oxidase were detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). Results Compared with the normal group, the MDA levels and p22phox mRNA expressions were increased obviously in emphysema group, IH group and emphysema with IH group〔MDA(μmol/g):2.93±0.54, 3.58±0.63, 4.51±0.72 vs. 1.75±0.56, p22phox mRNA:0.043±0.004,0.067±0.015,0.123±0.016 vs. 0.018±0.002,all P<0.05〕,but the activities of SOD were decreased significantly(U/mg:36.07±4.79,33.51±7.12,24.29±5.36 vs. 46.08±5.12,all P<0.05). In emphysema with IH group,the increase of MDA levels and p22phox mRNA expressions and decrease of SOD levels were more remarkable compared with those in emphysema group and IH group(all P<0.05). The expression of p22phox mRNA was positively correlated with MDA level(r=0.734,P<0.001). Conclusion The myocardial tissue oxidative stress injury in rats induced by emphysema with intermittent hypoxia exposure is more serious than that induced by exposure of either emphysema or intermittent hypoxia alone,NADPH oxidase possibly being the important medium of myocardial cell response to oxidative stress.
