Objective To analyze the effect of community physicians' following-up on type 2 diabetes management in community.Methods A total of 99 local patients with type 2 diabetes,who were selected randomly and divided into management group (49 cases) and control group(50 cases).The patients in management group were accepted diabetes management in community with community physicians' following-up.The patients in control group were followed to see the doctor in endocrinology clinic based ontheir consciousness.The changes of related indicators between two groups after 10 months of different kinds of diabetes management were compared.Results After management,the levels of body mass index (BMI),fasting blood glucose (FBG),triacylglycerol (TG),total cholesterol (TC),etc in management group were significantly better than those in control group,and there were significant differences (P < 0.05).The medical compliance rate of diabetes-related behavior in management group was significantly better than that in control group,and there was significant difference (P < 0.05).The multi-factor analysis showed that high level of BMI,FPG,TG,TC were risk factors of blood glucose control in type 2 diabetes (P < 0.05),while high level of success rate of blood pressure,prescribed rate of medication,adherence rates of diabetes diet had promotion to blood glucose control of type 2 diabetes.Conclusion Type 2 diabetes management in community with community physicians'following-up is useful for improving diabetes management effectiveness and quality.

Electrochemotherapy was instituted for sarcoma, and the tumor inhibitory ratio, curing ratio, vascular endothelial growth factor, microvessel density and mechanism were measured and analyzed. The results indicate that the curing ratio of electrochemotherapy for sarcoma is 84.6%. The present research provides experimental evidence for the security, mechanism and feasibility of electrochemotherapy in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE To explore downstream regulatory pathway of microRNA-21 (miR-21) in colon cancer cells (RKO) through detecting miR-21 and its target PDCD4, and the influence of miR-21 regulation on the sensitivity of RKO cells to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). METHODS 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to determine the effect of 5-FU on the viability of RKO cells with knockout of miR-21 or high expression of PDCD4. Real-time was used to determine the expression of PDCD4, ABCC5 and CD44 in RKO cell after knockout of miR-21. RESULTS MTT assay reveals that the IC50 of 5-FU in RKO-WT cells (52.82 ± 0.06 umol/L) was about 67% higher than in miR-21 knockout cells (32.23 ± 0.05 umol/L) (P < 0.05), and the apoptosis ratio elevated after knockout of miR-21. High expression of PDCD4, a target gene of miR-21, can negatively regulate the expression of ABC transporter ABCC5 and the stem cell marker CD44. CONCLUSION MiR-21 can mediate the drug resistance to 5-FU by inhibiting its target PDCD4, which can regulate the expression of ABCC5 and CD44 genes.
