Objective To investigate the relationship between expressions of alpha 2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG) gene mRNA and protein in placenta and insulin resistance in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods The expressions of AHSG gene mRNA and protein in placenta were detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PC R) and Western blot technique in normal uterogestation uterine-incision delivery patients (control group,43 cases) and patients with GDM (GDM group,45 cases).Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and fasting insuhn (FINS) were detected before uterine-incision delivery,and the homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was computed.Results The FPG,FINS and HOMA-IR in GDM group were significantly higher than those in control group [(5.28 ± 0.63)mmol/L vs.(4.24 ±0.21) mmol/L,(11.75 ±4.85) mU/L vs.(9.73 ±2.18) mU/L,2.79 ±1.02 vs.1.87 ± 0.66],there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).The expressions of AHSG gene mRNA and protein in GDM group were significantly higher than those in control group (0.761 6 ± 0.069 1 vs.0.329 4 ± 0.025 1 and 0.824 5 ± 0.137 5 vs.0.420 3 ± 0.075 0),there were statistical differences (P＜ 0.01or ＜ 0.05).HOMA-IR level in GDM group was positively correlated with AHSG gene mRNA and protein (r =0.633,0.587,P ＜0.05).Conclusions The expressions of AHSG gene mRNA and protein are significantly higher in patients with GDM.Insulin resistance may play an important role in the pathogenesis and development of GDM.

By means of TLC-densitomery, the contents of oleanolic acid extracted from the fruits of Ligustrum lucidum were determined to be 8.04% (g/g) in the unriped fruit collected in August and 2.73% (g/g) in riped fruit gathered in December. This result showed that the oleanolic acid content in fructus L. Iucidum decreases gradually with growing until the fruit is fully riped.

Objective To explore the role of caspase-3 activation and DNA fragmentation in later period of neonatal rat hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD). Methods DNA fragmentation,caspase-3 mRNA and caspase-3 protein were measured in 2 wks、3 wks and 4wks after setting HIBD animal model in newborn wistar rats by FCM, RT-PCR and Immunohistochemistry. Results (1) Apoptosis lasted 4ks after HIBD. This suggested a long lasting role of apoptosis in neonatal HIBD by TNNEL and EM.(2)Caspase-3 mRNA expression was estimated by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. It was higher in HIBD group(0.771?0.074) than in control group(0.620?0.038, P0.05. Average Avalue of Caspase-3 protein in HIBD group(0.374 ?0.038) at 3 wks was significantly higher than that in control group(0.356?0.020,P

Objectives: To study the clinical meaning of condyle-form asymmetry and its osseous changes shown on TMJ images of lateral oblique transcranial projection and lateral tomography. Methods: 113 patients with partial posterior teeth lose were enroled in the study.Among them 25 were with temporomandibular disorder (TMD group),39 with slight TMD sings (sub-TMD group) and 45 without TMD(TMD-free group). Radiographs were taken and studied for each patient. Results: It was found that the condyle form asymmetry and osseous changes were not significantly different among the three groups. Osseous change was related to the number of teeth-lose (P0.05). The symptoms and signs of TMD had close relationship with occlusal interferences. Conclusions: The changes shown on TMJ images do not show close relationship with TMD symptoms and signs. Occlusal interferences resulted from teeth-lose are related to the clinical symptoms and signs of TMD.

Objective To observe the clinical value of application of low-dose scanning technology in dual source CT coronary angiography.Methods 200 cases who received coronary artery imaging were randomly selected as the study subjects.Patients were divided into the observation group and the control group using the random number method,100 cases in each group.All patients underwent dual source CT angiography.The observation group was treated by adaptive prospective ECG gated sequence,the control group was treated with retrospective ECG gated sequences.The image quality and radiation dose to bear were compared between the two groups.Results The various stages of image score proportion between the two groups had no significant difference(P＞0.05).The average score of reading image of the observation group was (1.52±0.33)points,which of the control group was (1.48±0.46)points,there was no difference between the two groups(t=0.857,P＞0.05).The CTDL,DLP and ED in the observation group were significantly lower than the control group[the observation group:CTDL(23.41±5.82),DLP(224.61±85.44),ED(3.01±1.12)mSv;the control group:CTDL(34.09±6.77),DLP(82.93±94.28),ED(5.33±2.01)mSv],and the differences were statistically significant(t=11.963,12.443,10.083,all P＜0.05)].Conclusion Prospective ECG gated sequence technology can effectively reduce the radiation dose of the patients under dual source CT coronary angiography,reduce probability of radiation damage,and the image quality is not changed obviously,which meets the needs of clinical diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To review endonasal endoscopic surgeries aided by Fusion image guided system, and to explore the application value of Fusion image guided system in endonasal endoscopic surgeries. METHOD: Retrospective research. Sixty cases of endonasal endoscopic surgeries aided by Fusion image guided system were analysed including chronic rhinosinusitis with polyp (n = 10), fungus sinusitis (n = 5), endoscopic optic nerve decompression (n = 16), inverted papilloma of the paranasal sinus (n = 9), ossifying fibroma of sphenoid bone (n = 1), malignance of the paranasal sinus (n = 9), cerebrospinal fluid leak (n = 5), hemangioma of orbital apex (n = 2) and orbital reconstruction (n = 3). RESULT: Sixty cases of endonasal endoscopic surgeries completed successfully without any complications. Fusion image guided system can help to identify the ostium of paranasal sinus, lamina papyracea and skull base. Fused CT-CTA images, or fused MR-MRA images can help to localize the optic nerve or internal carotid arteiy . Fused CT-MR images can help to detect the range of the tumor. It spent (7.13 ± 1.358) minutes for image guided system to do preoperative preparation and the surgical navigation accuracy reached less than 1mm after proficient. There was no device localization problem because of block or head set loosed. CONCLUSION Fusion image guided system make endonasal endoscopic surgery to be a true microinvasive and exact surgery. It spends less preoperative preparation time, has high surgical navigation accuracy, improves the surgical safety and reduces the surgical complications.
