Plasma VEGF level of T2DM was higher than that of normal control （NC, n=30） and progressively increases from normal albuminuria （NA, n=26） to microalbuminuria （MA,n=26） and to macroalbu-minuria （ODN, n=24） groups, The VEGF level was positively correlated with the levels of creatinine, HbA1c and UAER and, decreases after losartan treatment in groups of MA and ODN.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor is recently added to the list of effective lipid-lowering drugs in addition to statins, which can reduce low density lipoprotein cholesterol, treat increased low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) patients. In the past 30 years, the prevalence of dyslipidemia increased significantly. LDL-C characterized dyslipidemia is an important risk factor of ASCVD and a part of metabolic syndrome, which exists before or after or at the same time of the appearance of obesity, diabetes, and glucose intolerance, coronary heart disease and other diseases. Decreasing LDL-C level can significantly reduce the incidence and mortality risk of ASCVD. In this paper, the research on the regulation of dyslipidemia by PCSK9 inhibitors is discussed.

Objective:To investigate the effects of enteral nutrition assisted therapy in preventing postoperative anastomotic fistula in patients with esophageal cancer and its influence on immunity,healing process and nutritional recovery.Methods: The clinical data of 90 cases of patients with esophageal cancer who underwent surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed.According to the mode of postoperative nutritional support,the patients were divided into group A(n=34),B(n=30)and C(n=26)three groups.Group A was treated by immune-enhancing enteral nutrition(Supportan)assisted therapy.Group B was treated with routine enternal nutrition(Nutrison Fibre)assisted therapy.Both of the two groups were treated with 25%,50% and 100% of the full dose on the 1st,2nd and 3rd-7th day after surgery.Later,the dose was reduced day by day till normal diet.Group C was treated by parenteral nutrition assisted therapy.Since the 1st day after surgery,patients in group C were intravenously injected with glucose,vita min and a mino acid mixed liquid calculated by 125.52 kJ/kg.8-10 d later,patients gradually transited to the normal diet.The incidence rates of anastomotic fistula,pulmonary infection and incision infection,wound healing time,total hospitalization time and initial exhaust time were observed and compared between the three groups.The changes of immune index [T lymphocytes and its subsets(CD3+,CD4+,CD8+)],inflammatory factors[C reactive protein(CRP),IL-6]and nutrition indexes[serum total protein(TP),albumin(ALB)]before surgery,on the 1st and 8th day after surgery were recorded.Results: ①There were significant differences in the incidence rates of postoperative anastomotic fistula and pulmonary infection between the three groups(P<0.05),and the incidence rates in group C were significantly higher than those in the other two groups(P<0.05).②There were significant differences in wound healing time,total hospitalization time and initial exhaust time between the three groups(P<0.05)and that of group C group was longer than that of the other two groups(P<0.05).③On the 1st day after surgery,the levels of immune indexes such as CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and nutrition indexes such as TP and ALB in the three groups were significantly lower than those before surgery.CD8+ levels and levels of inflammatory indexes such as CRP and IL-6 were significantly higher than those before surgery(P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference between the groups(P>0.05).On the 8th day after surgery,the nutrition indexes in the three groups were still significantly lower than those before surgery.However,those in group A and B were significantly higher than those in group C(P<0.05);the inflammatory factors were still significantly higher than those before surgery(P<0.05)but those in group A and B were significantly lower than those in group C(P<0.05).Among the three groups,there was no statistical significance in comparing the immune indexes with those in group A(P>0.05).The levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ in the other two groups were lower than those before surgery while CD8+ level was higher than that before surgery(P<0.05).Conclusion: To apply enteral nutrition assisted therapy in patients with esophageal cancer after surgery can effectively improve the prognosis.It has positive effects on shortening the healing process,improving the immune function and improving the nutritional status.

To study the effect of the proliferation and apoptosis of Survivin-T34A mutant on breast cancer MCF-7 cell, we adopted the method of cell culture in vitro to observe the proliferation and apoptosis of the cell. In the experiment, MCF-7 cells were randomly divided into three groups and transfected with normal saline, PORF-9-null and Survivin-T34A, respectively. Breast cancer nude mouse models were established to study anti-tumor effect of Survivin-T34A in vivo. The activity of the cells in the Survivin-T34A-transfected group was lower than that in PORF-9-null group. The increase of cell apoptosis was observed under electron microscopy, meanwhile the apoptotic rate was obviously higher than that in PORF-9-null control by flow cytometry. Tumor inhibition effects of the mouse which received the injection of Survivin-T34A intratumoral injection were apparent, and the inhibition ratio was as high as 47.1%. In conclusion, Survivin-T34A mutant has anti-tumor effect through efficiently inhibiting the growth of breast cancer MCF-7 cell and actively promoting apoptosis of cancer cells.

Objective To investigate the role of prokinetic agent itopride in colonic preparation before colonoscopy examination in patients with constipation.Methods A total of 115 outpatients with history of chronic constipation who requested colonoscopy were collected.According to colonic preparation proposal,patients were divided into three groups.Group A (39 cases) took standard dosage of PEG-E solution six hours before colonoscopy examination.Group B (38 cases) took 150 mg itopride 30 minutes before administration of lavage solution.Group C (38 cases) took itopride 150 mg at 7 am,12 am and 8 pm the day before the examination and on the examination day took the same medicine as that of group B.The blood pressure,heart rate and blood electrolytes were monitored before and after taking medicine in the patients of three groups.Quality of colon cleansing of each group was observed and side effects were also observed.One-way analysis of variance (least significant difference,LSD) test was performed for pairwise comparisons among the three groups.Chi-square test was applied for count data.Results Both group A and group B excluded one patient because of malignant carcinoma with colon stricture under colonoscopy,and 113 patients completed the whole colon examination.There was no significant difference in the baseline patients' data of three groups.The colon cleaning score of group C (7.28±1.11) was higher than those of group A and B (6.55±1.18 and 6.51±1.16,LSD test,both P＜0.05).The frequency of bowel movements defecation of group C (8.31± 1.32) was more than those of group A and group B (7.11± 1.41 and 6.94± 1.51,LSD,test,both P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in terms of intestinal bubble scores,blood pressure,heart rate,blood electrolytes the uncomfortable degree of colonic preparation and rate of side effects of the three groups.Conclusion The colonic preparation can be safely and effectively improved by taking high dose of itopride one day before and on the day of colonoscopy examination.

BACKGROUND: There are many clinical applications of oral medication in treatment of primary osteoporosis, but there are few reports on integration of point injection and electric acupuncture in treatment of primary osteoporosis.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of intervention with point injection and electric acupuncture on the basis of western drug on primary osteoporosis and to compare the therapeutic effects with simple western medical treatment.DESIGN: Case comparison was designed.SETTING: Hygiene Clinic of Engineering College of Nanjing University of Agriculture and First Affiliated Hospital to Nanjing University of Medical Sciences.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 46 cases of primary osteoporosis were selected from the outpatients in Hygiene Clinic of Engineering College of Nanjing University of Agriculture from April 2000 to June 2004 and all of the cases were in the observation voluntarily. Two groups were randomized according to visiting sequence, named acupuncture+drug group (23 cases), aged (67±4) years and drug group (23 cases), aged (66±5) years.METHODS: ① In acupuncture+drug group, on the basis of medication of alfacalcidol and calcium carbonate, the integrative therapy of point injection and electric acupuncture was applied. Pont injection: Xue-saitong zhusheye was injected on zusanli (ST 36), iaixi (KI 3), sanyinjiao (SP 6) and xuanzhong (GB 39) 1.67-3.33 cm in depth. Two points were selected each time and 2 mL on each point, once/day and the points were injected bilaterally and alternatively. Electric acupuncture:The points were pishu (BL21), shenshu (BL 23) and qihaishu (BL24).Electric apparatus was attached on the points after arrival of qi, with continuous wave, 2 Hz, 30 minutes, once a day. One month treatment for either point injection or electric acupuncture was taken as one course.The second course was followed afterbreak for 5 days. Totally, 6 months were required. Western medical treatment: α Vit. D3 0.5 μg per day was administrated orally, onceaday and calcium carbonate, 1 tablet, once a day,continuously for 6 months. ② Drug control: Only western drugs were administrated orally and the usage was same as the acupuncture +drug group. The patients in two groups were treated for 6 months. Bone mineral density (BMD) of L2-4 and upper end of femur was assayed with X-Ray absorptiometry.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: BMD of L2-4 and upper end of femur before and 6 months after treatment in two groups.RESULTS: All of 46 cases of primary osteoporosis entered result analysis, no dropped out case. ① Comparison of BMD of lumbar vertebras before and 6 months after treatment in two groups: After 6-month treatment,in acupuncture +drug group, BMD of L2-4 was improved significantly [(0.829±0.049), (0.791±0.043) g/cm2, (t=2.80, P ＜ 0.01)] compared with that before the treatment. In drug control, BMD of L2-4 was improved significantly [(0.813±0.051), (0.788±0.048) g/cm2, (t=1.71, P ＜ 0.05)]compared with that before the treatment. Concerning to the variations of BMD between two groups, the variation in acupuncuture+drug group was more than that in drug control [(0.038±0.020), (0.025±0.025) g/cm2 (t=1.95,P ＜ 0.05)]. ②) Comparison of BMD of femur before and 6 months after treatment in two groups: There was no significant difference in BMD before and after treatment in two groups (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Compared with simple western drug treatment, the integrative therapy of point injection and electric acupuncture improves very significantly BMD of lumbar vertebras, aiming at effective treatment of primary osteoporosis. But the change in BMD of femur is not obvious before and after treatment, which is probably associated with lack of adequate blood circulatiou in femoral region.
