2.Effect of ultraviolet rays and mechanism of injury to eyes
Chinese Journal of Radiological Medicine and Protection 2016;36(2):149-153
With continued ozone deletion and increased ultraviolet application,ultraviolet (UV) induced eye injury receives more attention,especially for astronauts,residents on high elevation plateaus and other people exposed to intense beams of UV.Continuous exposure to UV can lead to damage of conjunctiva,cornea,crystalline lens and retina,which are correlated with conjunctivitis,keratitis,ocular tumor,climatic droplet keratopathy,and pterygium.This paper focuses on the effect of UV on eyes,with a systematic elaboration of UV-induced eye injury.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of dipeptide base peptidase 4 ( DPP-4 ) inhibitors alone or combined with metformin in curing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods 90 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in Tangshan Fengrun District Hospital and Tangshan Checheng Hospital were selected and randomly divided into therapy group ( DPP4 inhibitor ) , control group ( metformin ) and combination therapy group with 30 cases in each group.And treatment for three months, the free blood glucose (FPG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2hPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and other indicators were compare before and after treatment, and the rates of hypoglycaemia and adverse events during treatment were monitored and counted.Results After 3 months of treatment, the free blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, LDL-C and HbA1c levels were significantly decreased, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) while the combination therapy group compared with the the therapy group and control group with better results.The incidence of side-effect in the combination therapy group is significantly lower than the therapy group and control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).It is no cases of hypoglycemia occurs in the combination therapy group, and had a smaller effect on BMI.Conclusion DPP-4 inhibitors combined with metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes has better efficacy and safety.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of parallel scalp acupuncture therapy on hemodynamic function of cerebral circulation in post-stroke patients. Methods: Twenty post-stroke patients were taken as our objects. The cerebral circulation indices before and after parallel acupuncture therapy, were detected with KF-3000 Brain Circulation Analyze, to compare the change of hemodynamics indexes before and after parallel scalp acupuncture. Results: After the therapy, minimum and mean blood velocity of carotid artery (Vmin and Vmean) increased significantly (P<0.001); peripheral resistance (Rc) decreased significantly (P<0.001). And the other indices had no significant differences. Conclusion: Parallel Scalp Acupuncture can improve the state of cerebrovascular autoregulation, raise the velocity of blood, decrease the peripheral resistance, and increase the steady energy, total energy and the ratio of kinetic energy to total energy, decrease the ratio of oscillatory kinetic energy to total kinetic energy.

To study the abnormality of the plasma concentration of ATRA in T1DM patients.T1DM patients(n=26),T2DM patients(n=33) and healthy people(n=30) were enrolled.The plasma concentration of ATRA was determined by HPLC.Compared with T2DM patients and healthy people,the concentration of ATRA increased significantly in T1DM patients.
6.Clinical Study on the Treatment of Adriamycin-induced Cardiotoxicity with the Method of Nourishing Yin
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2009;31(5):401-403
Objective To investigate the preventive effect of treating cardiotoxicity induced by adriamycin (ADM) with the method of nourishing yin. Methods 90 cancer patients underwent adriamycin therapy were randomly recruited intoa treatment group (45 cases) and a control group (45 cases). The treatment group was treated with Wushen decoction, while the control group was treated with antioxidant drugs. The changes of ECG, blood SOD, GSH-Px, MDA content etc were observed after one course of four weeks' treatment. Results The incidence of cardiactoxicity was 15.56% in the treatment group and 40.00% in the control group, showing significant difference ( U=2.02, P<0.05 ) ; the incidence of ECG abnormalities was 13.33% in the treatment group and 37.78%, in the control group, showing significant difference (U= 2.18, P< 0.05 ) : the effective rate was 82.22% in the treatment group and 62.22% in the control group, showing significant difference ( U=2.18, P <0.05) ; and SOD, GSH-Px, MDA content at the 1, 7, 14, and 28days between the two groups also demonstrated significant differences (P<0.05) . Conclusion The method of nourishing yin has excellent attenuation to adriamycin-induced cardiotoxicity, besides it enhances therapeutic effects of chemotherapy.

As the investments from the state and society in universities increased rapidly, the scientific and technological resources gained huge promotion. However, the efficiency of some instruments remained low, and the repeated purchases of some instruments occurred frequently. Here the authors discussed about building a practical, reasonable and efficient system for lab management.

Objective To investigate the correlation of clinical and pathological characteristics of bladder transitional cell carcinoma(BTCC) with platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF). Methods Expression of PD-ECGF,VEGF and MVD were examined in the specimens of 52 cases of BTCC by Envision immunohistochemical staining.All the 52 cases were followed up via interview for a period of 5 years. Results Of the 52 cases 50 provided complete relevant data.The 5-year postoperative tumor-free survival rate was 42.9%(21/49) and overall survival rate was 78.0%(39/50).The positive expression rate of PD-ECGF in G 1 tumors was 17.6%(3/17);in G 2,59.3%(16/27) and in G 3,87.5%(7/8)(P
