Objective To explore the levels of serum interleukin-6 and interleukin-18 in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and investigate their roles. Methods The serum interleukin-6 and interleukin-18 levels were detected in 50 newly, diagnosed T2DM patients (T2DM group) and 40 normal subjects (control group). Fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, blood lipid, body mass index (BMI) and waist/hip ratio (WHR) were measured. HOMA-IR and HOMA-β were calculated. Results The serum interleukin-6 and interleukin-18 levels in T2DM group were significantly higher than those in control group [(2.56 ± 1.09) ng/L vs (1.81±0.80) ng/L, (5.38±0.91) ng/L vs (4.62±0.59)ng/L] (P <0.01).Interleukin-6 level was positively correlated with HbA_1c,while interleukin-18 level was positively correlated with BMI and WHR. Interleukin-6 and interleukin-18 levels were positively correlated. Interleukin-6 and interhukin-18 could predicted the insulin resistance. Conclusion Interleukin-6 and interleukin-18 take part in the development of T2DM, and can be related to the insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance is the important base of the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes.Physical exercise can improve insulin sensitivity.This article presents an overview of how physical exercise improves insulin resistance and helps the prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus by analyzing its influence on the level of insulin receptor and post-receptor and adipose cell cytokine.

Objective To investigate the applicative value of enhanced 3D multi-echo GRE T2*-weighted angiography(ESWAN) sequence phase values in evaluating brain gray nuclei iron content in idiopathic restless legs syndrome(RLS) patients, providing imaging basis in diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic RLS. Methods In our institute from June 2012 to September 2016,forty-five RLS patients were selected as the RLS group, and 45 healthy volunteers as the control group. ESWAN sequence was performed and serum ferritin values were obtained in all patients and volunteers. The raw data of ESWAN was postprocessed , where the phase maps were obtained. Phase analysis was performed on localized brain gray nuclei regions of interest (substantia nigra, red nucleus, dentate nucleus, thalamus, pallidum, putamen and caudate nucleus ) selected on phase maps. Differences between the 2 subject groups were evaluated using ANCOVA including age as a covariate. Results The phase values of the substantia nigra, thalamus, pallidum and putamen in the RLS group were (-0.087 ± 0.021), (-0.053 ± 0.012), (-0.161 ± 0.008), (-0.125 ± 0.019) radians , respectively. The phase values of the substantia nigra, thalamus, pallidum and putamen in the control group were (-0.127 ± 0.007), (-0.066 ± 0.007), (-0.166 ± 0.007), (-0.150 ± 0.010) radians, respectively. There were significant differences between the two groups (F=142.492, 37.988, 10.558, 60.725;P<0.05). Indicating reduced iron content in several regions of brain gray nuclei of the patients with RLS. Serum ferritin concentration between the RLS patients (157.02±95.78)μg/L and healthy controls (175.49 ± 38.65)μg/L was not significant (F=1.353,P>0.05). Conclusions Phase values can make a quantitative assessment of brain gray nuclei iron content in RLS patients, our results supported the hypothesis of reduced brain iron content in RLS patents , which may have an important role in the pathogenesis of the disorder. However, iron content change in some brain regions was not correlated with serum ferritin concentration changes.

Objective: To evaluate color velocity imaging-quantitative method (CVI-Q) in estimating cerebral hemodynamic change in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods: The carotids of 60 normal people and 40 cerebral infarction patients were detected by CVI-Q. We observed endangium thickness and atheromatous plaques,and measured the diameter (d), peak velocity(Vmax), resistance index(RI) and blood flow volume(Q) of the common carotid arteries. Results: In cerebral infarction group there were 75% cases with endangium thickening to different degrees, 45% cases with atheromatous plaques and 71% plaques in carotid enlargement section or bifurcation. The data measured in 2 groups were compared: (1)The d value in cerebral infarction cases increased than that in normal（P<0.05 or P<0.01）; (2)The Vmax reduced in cerebral infarction cases(P<0.05); (3)The RI increased in cerebral infarction cases (P<0.05 or P< 0.01); (4) The Q value reduced in cerebral infarction cases (P<0.01). Conclusion: CVI-Q can be used for detecting cerebral hemodynamic changes and provide quantitative indexes for clinicians to estimate ischemia degree and treatment in cerebral infarction patients.

Objective To study the relationships between hemoglobin concentration,cytokine and cardiac function in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.Methods Hemoglobin concentration,sernm TNF-α,IL-6 in 121 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy were measured,left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)by echocardiography,according to hemoglobin concentration,these patients were distributed to the anemic group and the non-anemic group,contrasting to 27 healthy persons.Results The levels of serum TNF-α,IL-6 in the anemic patients group were higher than those in the non-anemic group subjects,but LVEF Wag lower.With the increase of anemia severity,the levels of serum TNF-α,IL-6 significantly increased;there was a positive correlation between LVEF and the levels of serum TNF-α,IL-6(P＜0.01),and a negative correlation between LVEF and Hb concentration.Conclusion The levels of cytokine promote the pathophysiological procedure between cardiac failure and anemic in ICM.

Two hours after the rats were infected with 125I - labeled sporozoites of Plasmo-dium yoelii,the sporzoites captured by the liver,the spleen and the lungs accounted for 1.67%,0.046% and 0.49% respectively.During the 2nd to the 18h,the sporozoites decreased in number slowly in the liver,remained unchanged in the spleen and decreased in number quickly in the lungs as time went on.When the liver and the lungs were perfused with quick M199 stream containing sporozoites,the capture rate of sporozoites was not affected in the liver but that of the lungs was markedly decreased.The numbr of sporozoites in the liver and the spleen was larger in those rats with their phagocytosis activated than in those with the phagocytosis inhibited.while in the lungs,the number of sporozoites was not influenced by the activity of macrophages.These findings suggest that the mechanism of capturing sporozoites in the lung is mainly mechanical and the alveolar macrophages play little role in that,but that in the liver and the spleen is mainly a biological process in which macrophages play an important role.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of acupoint selection at distant places and local tenderness points in treating migraine without aura.Method Sixty patients were randomly allocated, using a random number table, to two groups, 30 cases each. The treatment group received acupuncture at distant points selected along meridians and local tenderness points and the control group, acupuncture at conventionally selected points. The therapeutic effects were evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ).Result After treatment, the VAS pain score was lower in the treatment group than in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The total efficacy rate was 93.3% in the treatment group and 73.3% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Both acupuncture at distant points selected along meridians and local tenderness points and acupuncture at conventionally selected points have a certain therapeutic effect on migraine, but the former produces a better effect than the later and can markedly relieve the pain and improve the quality of life in the patients. The outcome of this study provides a certain reference value for clinical treatment of this disease.

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression of MutS homolog2 (MSH2) and CyclinD1 proteins in breast cancer and their clinical significance.Methods Expression of MSH2 and CyclinD1 proteins was detected in 67 cases of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast by immunohistochemistry.Results The positive expression rate of MSH2 and CyclinD1 proteins was 53.7％ (36/67)and 47.8％ (32/67)respectively.The expression of MSH2 and CyclinD1 protein was closely related to lymph nodes metastasis(P ＜ 0.05).Expression of MSH2 and CyclinD1 protein was negatively correlated with each other in breast cancer(r =-0.251,P =0.040).Conclusion CyclinD1 may play a role in DNA mismatch repair(MMR) system by downregulating the expression of MSH2 and thus influences the tumorigenesis and progression of breast cancer.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the expression of human proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and human MutS honolog2 gene (hMSH2) in breast cancer and its significance. Methods PCNA and hMSH2 expression were detected in 68 cases of breast cancer tissues by immunohistochemistry.ResultsAmong the 68 cases of breast cancer, the expression rate of PCNA and hMSH2 was 44.1％ (30/68) and 54.4％ (37/68) respectively.The expression of PCNA and hMSH2 was positively correlated with lymph nodes metastasis(P ＜0.05).PCNA expression was positively correlated to hMSH2 expression in breast cancer (P ＜0.05).ConclusionInteraction between PCNA and hMSH2 may be related to the carcinogenesis of breast cancer.Effective detection of PCNA and hMSH2 proteins may contribute to the evaluation of malignancy and biological behavior of breast cancer.
