To investigate the influence of abnormal blood coagulating state on development of diabetic nephropathy. Methods Using radioimmunoassay and bivanlent antibody sandwich technic, the levels of plasma protein C (PC), platelet alpha-granule membrane glycoprotein (GMP-140), and factor Ⅷ: C and vWF were detected in 65 NIDDM patients and 15 normal controls. Results (1)PC level in microalbuminuric patients(DMⅡ) was significantly lower than that in normal controls and in normoalbuminuric patients (DMⅠ ), the lowest was in clinical proteinuric patients (DMⅢ); PC levels correlated negatively with urinary albumin exeretion rates(UAER). (2)The GMP-140 level was higher signifi-antly in DMn than in normal controls and in DMⅢ ; and the highest was in DMⅠ; the GMP-140 levels positively correlated with UAER. (3)There were negative correlations between PC and GMP-140、Ⅷ C-vWF. Conclusion A hyper-coagulable state occurs early in diabetic nephropathy as valuable indexes in reflecting the microangiopathy in diabetes.

That there are so many difficulties in both of teaching and learning electrocar-diogram(ECG)is the characteristics in teaching and studying ECG. The following ways are the ef-fective methods of improving effects of classroom teaching of ECG:emphasizing the importance of ECG in clinical work at the beginning of the lecture on ECG in order that the students can understand the necessity of studying ECG and make up their mind to study ECG well;studying the teaching contents on ECG seriously and supplement the textbook appropriately;set up the link of discussion and create the condition that teacher and students work altogether;produce the slides with pictures(mainly)and words and give accounts of the pictures mainly;sum up the character-istics of all sorts of abnormal ECG and state the characteristics of presenting ECG simultaneously.

Type 2 diabetic patients with the decline of urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein excretory rate showed the increment of fasting plasma homocysteine levels, suggesting that the damage of synthetic function of renal tubule may participate in the increment of homocysteine levels.

AIM: To explore the effects of high glucose a t fluctuant concentrations on glucose transport activity and expression of phosp hoinositide 3-kinase (p85) in primary cultured skeletal muscle cells. ME T HODS: Rat skeletal muscle cells were cultured at fluctuant glucose conce ntrations (5, 25mmol/L) for 48h. Then the glucose uptake and the expression of p hosphoinositude 3-kinase were measured. RESULTS: The skeletal mu s cle cells treated with fluctuant high concentration glucose showed the impairmen t of the basal and insulin-induced increase in glucose uptake and significant de crease in p85 protein expression as well as p85 mRNA. Particularly, there was a significant decrease in p85 protein and mRNA expression in the high fluctuate l evel of glucose concentration. CONCLUSION: The exposure to fluct uant high concentration of glucose inhibits glucose uptake and induces insulin r esistance in skeletal muscle cells.

Objective o observe the therapeutic effects of suspension-assisted functional rehabilitation training of motor function for patients with cerebral infarction. Methods Ninety-six patients with cerebral infarction were divided randomly into a treatment group and a control group. All patients were given routine medical treatment and routine limb movement therapy. Those in the treatment group also used an electrically-driven suspension device to aid in their functional rehabilitation training. The patients were assessed with a simplified Fugl-Meyer Motor Functional Assessment (S-FMMFA), and using the Postural Assessment Scale for stroke patients ( PASS), the Barthel Index (BI) and the 6-minute walking distance test before and after treatment and at a 6-month foliowup. Results The average S-FMMFA, PASS, BI and the 6-minute walk results in the treatment group were all significantly better than those in the control group. Conclusions Suspension-assisted training can significantly help improve limb movement function and ADL performance in cerebral infarction patients.

AIM: To investigate the change of long-term potentiation ( LTP ) , and the expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A receptor (5-HT1A receptor) and postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) in the hippocampus of the rats with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and to explore the mechanism of 5-HT1A receptor in the regulation of spatial memory in the PTSD rats.METHODS:Healthy adult SD rats (n=36) were randomly divided into control group and mod-el group, with 18 rats in each group.The rats in model group were treated with single prolonged stress to construct the mod-el of PTSD.Morris water maze ( MWM) was used to test the learning and memory ability .The LTP induced by high-fre-quency stimulation (HFS) was detected by electrophysiological method .The protein expression of 5-HT1A receptor and PSD-95 in the hippocampus was determined by Western blot and immunofluorescence .RESULTS: The MWM analysis showed that the latency of the rats searching for the underwater platform in model group was significantly longer than that in control group (P<0.01).The results of electrophysiological analysis showed that the amplitude of the evoked potential in both groups were significantly increased after HFS in the hippocampus , but that in model group was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.01).The results of Western blot and immunofluorescence analysis showed that compared with control group, the protein expression of 5-HT1A receptor was obviously increased (P<0.05), while the expression of PSD-95 was obviously decreased in model group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The spatial memory impairment in the PTSD rats may be associated with the increase in the expression of 5-HT1A receptor and the decrease in the expression of PSD-95 in the CA1 region of hippocampus .

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has already been a mature and an effective treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Clinically,it is very important to quickly and accurately evaluate the postoperative curative effect with minimally invasive technique so as to determine the next treatment options.At present,postoperative conventional CT and MRI are the main means to assess the curative effect of TACE,but it is a pity that after the treatment the functional changes of the tumor occur earlier than the morphological changes.In recent years,functional MRI techniques,such as diffusionweighted imaging (DWI),multi-b value DWI,dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) imaging,etc.have been more and more used for quantitative evaluation of the diffusion of water molecules and the blood microcirculation perfusion within the tumor tissue,and some progresses have been achieved in the evaluation of curative efficacy for tumor.This paper aims to make a comprehensive review about the research progress of the above mentioned functional imaging methods as well as their current application status in evaluation of the curative effect of TACE.

Objective To investigate the effects of microRNA-506 (miR-506) on malignant phenotype of colorectal carcinoma cells. To identify the target gene of miR-506 in colon carcinoma. Methods SW480 cells were divided into five groups, known as normal cell group, miR-506 overexpression and, miR-506 inhibition groups with their vehicle groups.The migration and invasion abilities of SW480 cells were measured with Transwell migration assay. Cell viability and colony forming activities were measured by CCK8 and colony formation assays, respectively. Furthermore, bioinformatic method, green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter assays, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot were applied to predict potential target genes of miR-506. Results The number of migrated and invasive cells, viability and clonality in the miR-506 overexpression groups reduced. LAMC1 mRNA and protein levels in the miR-506 overexpression groups were lower than those in the control groups. Conclusion LAMC1 is a direct target gene for miR-506 and miR-506 could inhibit the cell migratioin and invasion.
