Objective To investigate the correlation between vitamin D receptor gene and bone mass and obesity phenotypes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods 318 patients with type 2 diabetes were chosen as diabetes group,and 50 healthy people were selected as healthy control group.Vitamin D receptor gene Apa Ⅰ type was detected in the two groups.Height,weight and body mass index(BMI)biochemical index,fat content(FM),lean tissue content(LM)and bone mineral density were detected in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.The relationship between vitamin D receptor gene(Apa Ⅰ)polymorphism and BMD and obesity phenotypes in type 2 diabetes was analyzed.Results The VDR gene distribution between the diabetes group and healthy control group showed no signif-icant difference(Z =0.561,P >0.05).The vitamin D receptor genotype in the diabetes group included AA 31 cases (9.7%),Aa type 108 cases(34.0%),aa type 179 cases(56.3%),while the vitamin D receptor genotype in the healthy control group comprised AA 7 cases(9.3%),Aa type 29 cases(38.7%),aa type 39 cases(52.0%).The percentage of AA in both groups was significantly less than that of Aa and aa(χ2 diabetic group =4.127,3.976,all P <0.05;χ2 healthy control group =5.129,4.213,all P <0.05).Proportion of normal bone mass and average bone density in AA,Aa,aa type decreased(χ2 =15.552,P <0.05;F =5.127,P <0.05),the genotype AA was not detec-ted in osteoporosis group.BMI and FM were the highest in AA,which were significantly higher than those of Aa,aa (F =4.319,4.263,all P <0.05).Conclusion Vitamin D receptor gene Apa Ⅰ type polymorphism is related with BMD and obesity in type 2 diabetes mellitus,and it has predictive value on bone mass changes.The increase of BMI and FMmay be beneficial to bone mineral density.

Annexin A1 (ANXA1) is a kind of endogenous scaffold protein. Previous research showed that ANXA1 could increase markedly with multiple increase of drug resistance in K562/imatinib cell lines in vitro. Here the stable transfection cell strains K562-pEGFP-N1 which was the native control and K562-pEGFP-N1-ANXA1 which can stably express ANXA1 were established using the Lipofectamine 2000 in order to find whether ANXA1 involved in the drug resistance. Cell growth inhibition experiment via MTT and cell proliferation experiment via MTS showed that K562-pEGFP-N1-ANXA1 cell strain was more sensitive to imatinib than the K562-pEGFP-N1 cell strain, and however the ability of proliferation of K562-pEGFP-N1-ANXA1 cell strain did not change compared with the negative control. Western blotting results showed that the expression of proteins in Annexin family did not change; drug resistance proteins, Bcr-Abl/p-Bcr-Abl (Tyr245), Src family kinase for example, did not change; proteins related with cell proliferation and cell cycle, such as ERK1/2MAPK, p-38MAPK, CDK1 and Wee 1, did not change either in the K562-pEGFP-N1-ANXA1 cell strain compared with the negative control. The co-immunoprecipitation result showed that the interaction between ANXA1 and beta-actin in the K562-pEGFP-N1-ANXA1 cell strain increased markedly. The deduction was that ANXA1 may make the K562-pEGFP-N1-ANXA1 cell strain more sensitive to imatinib due to the increased uptake of imatinib via the increase of ANXA1 and the interaction between ANXA1 and beta-actin in the K562-pEGFP-N1-ANXA1 cell strain in vitro.

In order to improve teaching lever and explore teaching approach, the feasibility study on the combination of the problembased learning method CPBL) and the lecture-based learning method (LBL) was conducted in the teaching of Acupuncture and Moxibustion. The 2010 undergraduates in the major of clinical integrated Chinese and western medicine of five years were randomized into a PBL and LBL group and a LEL group. In the first semester, according to the basic teaching requirement, LBL was used to accomplish the teaching of basic theory. In the internship teaching section, the different teaching method was applied. In the PBL and LEL group, PEL was used, and in the LBL group, LBL was given. At the end of semester, the examination results of the theory learning and medical cases learning were evaluated. The questionnaire was summarized in the teachers and students. The final examination result of theory learning was not different significantly between the two groups (P >0. 05), but the result of medical cases learning in the PEL and LEL group was better than that in LEL group (84. 47±10. 72 vs 76. 00±9. 97, P<0. 05). The questionnaire for the students and teachers indicated that the result of PEL and LEL combined method was higher than that of LEL method (86. 27±8. 36 vs 56. 00±14. 59, P< 0. 01; 45. 89±3. 68 vs 36. 61±6. 41, P<0. 0l), indicating that the combined method of PBL and LEL is feasible in teaching of Acupuncture and Moxibustion and the teaching outcome is superior to the simple LBL, which provides the new approach to the teaching reform.

BACKGROUND:The effect of body mass index (BMI) on the outcomes ofin vitrofertilization (IVF) is controversial. Some scholars suggested that the higher BMI, the lower rate of pregnancy, and the higher rate of abortion. However, some others got the different results. To data, the effects of BMI on the pregnancy outcomes in females at different ages are rarely reported.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of BMI on the pregnancy outcomes of IVF for infertile women atdifferent ages.
METHODS:A total of 902 cycles undergoing IVF were divided into two groups according to the age:≤ or> 35 years old groups. The patients in each group were then divided into four subgroups according to BMI: low weight, normal weight, excess weight, and obesity subgroups, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With increasing BMI, the average dosage of gonadotropins was increased gradualy in two both of age groups (P < 0.05). In the≤ 35 years old, the levels of estrogens on the day of injecting human chorionic gonadotropin was significantly lower in obesity group than the other subgroups (P < 0.05); the rates of empty folicle in excess weight and obesity subgroups were significantly higher than that in normal weight subgroup (P < 0.008 23). The fertilization rate and clinical pregnancy rate of in obesity subgroup were significantly lower than those in the other subgroups (P < 0.05). In the > 35 years old group, the empty folicle rate in obesity subgroup was significantly higher than that in normal weight subgroup (P < 0.008 23). Fertilization rate in excess weight and obesity subgroups was significantly lower than that in the normal weight subgroup (P< 0.008 23). There were no significant differences in cleavage rate, cycle cancelation rate, implantation rate, biochemical pregnancy rate and abortion rate between four subgroups (P> 0.05). These findings suggest that in the females at the younger age, BMI not only affects the quality of folicles and fertilization rate; but with increasing BMI, clinical pregnancy rate is decreased obviously. However in the females at the older age, BMI only affects the folicular quality, embryo quality and fertilization rates; there are no significant differences in the outcomes of pregnancy in the four subgroups. BMI have effects on pregnancy outcomes of IVF, and the effects are much greater in the younger female group.
