Objective To study the predictive value of islet cell antibody (ICA),64KD protein antibody(64KDAb) and insulin auto-antibody (IAA) in the first-degree relatives of type 1 diabetics. Methods The determination of islet autoantibody distribution in type 1 diabetes patients,first-degree relatives without diabetes and normal individuals was made. Results The results revealed that ICA and 64KDAb positive rate in type I diabetes patients and their first-degree relatives was significantly higher than normal individuals. The positive rate of 64KDAb is higher than that of ICA and IAA. Conclusion These results suggest that 64KDAb's sensitivity is higher than ICA and IAA's,so 64KDAb is more valuable as the marker of predicting type 1 diabetes. The combined determination of ICA, 64KDAb and IAA might improve the value for predicting diabetes.

Objective To investigate the role of activation of Akt/mTOR pathway in denfense against UVB-induced apoptosis in cultured human skin keratinocyte cell line HaCaT. Methods HaCaT cells were irradiated with UVB at different doses for various durations. Western blotting was performed to detect dynamic changes of Akt/mTOR pathway-related signaling molecule, such as phosphorylated-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), -Akt, -4EBP1, etc; apoptosis was estimated by staining with DNA dye Hoechst 33342. To evaluate the role of signaling molecules in defense against UVB-induced apoptosis, HaCaT cells were pretreated before irradiation with EGFR inhibitor (PD153035), PI3K inhibitor (LY294002), mTOR inhibitor (rapamycin) followed by the detection of expressions of signaling molecule and apoptosis. Results UVB could activate Akt/mTOR pathway in a dose- (5 ~ 30 mJ/cm2) and time- (5 ~ 30 min) dependent manner. PD153035,LY 294002 and rapamycin could inhibit UVB-induced activation of the Akt/mTOR pathway. The apoptosis rate in HaCaT cells was upregulated by pretreatment with rapamycin and LY294002. Conclusion The activation of Akt/mTOR signaling pathway could inhibit the UVB-induced apoptosis in cultured HaCaT cells.

Objective To use evidence-based nursing on patients with artificial airway to the practice of stomach tube, and to evaluate the self made guidance for difficult gastric tube placement in patients with artificial airway.Methods Forty patients with artificial airway and were difficult to put the tube, and admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Harrison International Peace Hospital Affiliated to Hebei Medical University from April to December in 2016 were enrolled as observation group. Through the evidence-based nursing strategy, the related literatures at home and abroad were collected to search clinical evidence and formulate and implement the nursing program, the gastric tube was inserted into the stomach tube under the direct vision of the laryngoscope. Thirty-six patients of difficult gastric tube placement with artificial airway straightly under the direct vision of the laryngoscope from August 2015 to March 2016 were retrospectively analyzed as the control group. The success rate of first catheterization, indwelling time, throat edema and bleeding of pharyngeal mucosa were compared between the two groups.Results All patients were enrolled in the final analysis. In the control group, 28 patients were successfully placed once, while 8 failed. Only 1 patient in observation group failed to catheterize, and successful placed after symptomatic treatment, the one-time success rate of catheter was significantly higher than that of control group (97.5% vs. 77.8%), and catheter time was significantly shortened (minutes: 4.8±1.2 vs. 5.1±1.0), the difference was statistically significant (bothP < 0.05). There were 2 patients with laryngeal edema in the control group and 4 patients of pharyngeal mucosal hemorrhage. In the observation group, there was no laryngealedema and laryngeal edema occurred in the patients with laryngoscopy, and only 1 patient had a hemorrhage of pharyngeal mucosa.Conclusion Using self made guiding device can effectively insert the difficult gastric tube in patients with artificial airway, and increase the one-time success rate of intubation, shorten the catheter time, and have a trend in reduce complication as compared with traditional gastric tube placement.

Objective To explore the effects of dipeptidyl peptidase ( DPP-4 ) inhibitor on proteins expression of Bcl-2 and Bax of islet β-cells through increasing the expression of islet γ amino acid butyric acid ( GABA) . Methods A total of 50 rats of clean grade were studied. Among them, ten rats were randomly selected as normal controls, the remaining forty rats were fed with high-fat diet and then intraperitoneal injection with streptozotocin, the diabetic rats models were then established. Rats were randomly divided into three groups:i. e. diabetic control group, DPP-4 inhibitor group, and antagonist group ( DPP-4 inhibitor and GABA receptor antagonist). Six weeks later, blood glucose, serum insulin, glucagon, and the proteins expression of GABA, Bcl-2, and Bax of islet β-cells were measured. Results ( 1 ) Compared with diabetic control group, serum insulin was increased(P<0.05),bloodglucoseandserumglucagonweredecreasedinDPP-4inhibitorgroup(P<0.05). (2) Compared with DPP-4 inhibitor group, serum insulin was decreased(P<0. 05), blood glucose and serum glucagon were increased(P<0. 05) in antagonist group. (3) Compared with diabetic control group, the expression of GABA was increased(P<0. 05), the expression of Bcl-2 protein was increased (P<0. 05) in pancreatic β-cells in DPP-4 inhibitor group. ( 4 ) Compared with diabetic control group, the expression of GABA in pancreatic β-cells was increased in antagonist group(P<0. 05) . Compared with DPP-4 inhibitor group, the expression of Bax protein in pancreaticβ-cells was increased in antagonist group(P<0. 05) , while the expression of Bcl-2 protein was decreased (P<0. 05). Conclusions DPP-4 inhibitor could increase the secretion of insulin, decrease the secretion of glucagon, up-regulate expression of anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-2, and down-regulate expression of apoptosis protein Bax in pancreatic β-cells through increasing the expression of GABA, inhibiting pancreatic β-cells apoptosis and protecting the damagedβ-cells in type 2 diabetic rats.
