Astragalus polysaccharide (APS)was applied to treat rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Blood glucose and insulin, the activity of PKB/Akt and translocation of GLUT4 in skeletal muscle of rats were examined. Results showed that AIMS decreased blood glucose, which may be related with increasing sensitivity of insulin, activity of PKB/Akt and transloeation of GLUT4 in the skeletal muscle tissue.

Objective To explore the clinical value of cervical lesion screening,which was detected by Pap smears,thinprep cytologic test (TCT),full automatic cellular DNA quantitative analysis system,human papilloma virus detection,colposcopy staining biopsy and blind biopsy.Methods 8 780 peoples were as the study object,divided into four groups,positive rate and accuracy of different screening methods;In addition,which were the positive rate of colposcopy staining biopsy and blind biopsy,the positive rate of HPV in all positive biopsy people and negative biopsy people,and the HPV infection rate of various lesions in positive patients were compared,respectivey.Results (1) The positive rates between the four groups showed an increasing trend (P ＜ 0.05).The positive rate of Pap smears and TCT had no statistical difference between every two of them (P ＜ 0.05),the rest were statistically significant (P ＜0.05).(2) The accuracy rates between the four groups showed an increasing trend (P ＜ 0.05).The accuracy rate of Pap smears and TCT had no statistical difference between two of them(P ＞ 0.05),the rest were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).(3)The positive rate of colposcopy biopsy under vision inspection with acetic acid (VIA) was higher than that of blind biopsy (P ＞ 0.05).(4) The positive rate of HPV detection of positive biopsy people was higher than that of negative biopsy people(P ＜0.05).(5)In colposcopy biopsy under vision inspection with acetic acid(VIA)group,the HPV positive rates of inflammation showed an increasing trend(P ＜ 0.05) ;in blind biopsy group,the HPV positive rates also showed an increasing trend (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion (1) HPV test has the highest sensitivity and strongest specificity,cellular DNA quantitative analysis is second,Pap smears is worst,so HPV and DNA detection have more valuable in clinical.(2)There is no significant difference between colposcopy biopsy under vision inspection with acetic acid(VIA)and blind biopsy in clinical,but HPV infection is the key factor,which affects the occurrence,development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and gradually progresses to cervical cancer.

The food poisoning caused by Bacillus cereus occurs in Kunming or Yunnan Province sometimes.The aim of our survey is to prevent and control this kind of food poi- soning in the future.The result shows that the positive rate is 19.20% and the degree of contamination differs in the different kinds of food,the dairy products being contaminated most seriously of all.The bacteria in the contaminated food number mostly 10~2～10~4 per gram,Though it is not very high,the presence of Bacillus cereus is so wide that we showld pay much attention to it. Abut 97.65% of Bacillus cereus can be biologically classified and the most com- mon types are 2,8 and 10.About 92.98% of Bacillus cereus can be classified according to the serological type,and type 3 is the most predominant one and type 1 the second.In the dairy products,biological types 2 and 8 make up 54.55% and serological type 1 36.36%. The bacteria isolated from the food are highly sensitive to erythromycin,chlor- amphenicol,gcntamycin,streptomycin and kanamycin.

Objective To evaluate the effects of controlling arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO 2) at the beginning and during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on cyanotic myocardial protection. Methods 40 Children suffering from tetralogy of Fallot(TOF) under 3 years of age with SpO 2

Objective:to study cognitive impairment and social function of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). Method:22 patients with AD and 12 with depression in elderly were followed for 3 months, both at the very beginning and the end of 3 months, they were tested with CASI (cognitive abilities screening instrument) and FAQ (functional activities questionnaire).Result:scores of short memory, attention, mathematics, abstract and association of CASI were significantly lower in AD group than that in depression group. AD patients had also poorer outcome in FAQ, such as in that of shopping, learn new things, and recall of engagement.Conclusion:Cognitive impairment and social function of patients with AD were poorer than elderly patients with depression.

Objective To analyze the causative of damaged bioprosthetic valves implanted in 41 patients (with total 47 valves) over one year. Methods From June 1993 to June 2004,re-replacement of valves was performed in 41 patients with dysfunctional bioprosthetic valves. The interval between the two operations was 1～16 years [mean (9.7?4.1) years]. The 47 dysfunctional bioprosthetic valves were carefully observed and pathologically examined. Results Of the 47 valves, no valve frame was damaged; tear or perforation existed in 42 valves (89.3%); calcification was found in 35 valves (74.5%), with fibrosis; excrescence and thrombus coexisted in 2. Heavily damaged ones were sent for pathological examination, and infiltration of abundant phagocytes and monocytes was found. Conclusion Early damages were mainly tear or rupture, while late damages were compound outcomes of multiple damaging factors such as calcification, rupture, and tear.

Objective To study the changes of nitric oxide synthase in placenta during fetal cardiac bypass. Methods Eight pregnant ewes (gestation 120～140 d)were divided equally into control group and bypass group. Bypass group underwent fetal cardiac bypass with centrifugal pump and placenta. Fetal hemodynamic date and blood gas value were recorded before and after bypass. Placenta vascular resistance was calculated. Fetal serum nitric oxide (NO), serum endothlin-1(ET-1) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) of placenta tissue were assayed. Transcriptions of endothelial NOSmRNA in placental tissue were assayed with RT-PCR technique. Results Acidosis and pressure of oxygen decreased after bypass appeared in fetal lamb of bypass group. Placenta vascular resistance of bypass group elevated significantly (P

Objective To evaluate the outcomes of one-stage repair of aortic coarctation (CoA) and associated cardiac anomalies in infants through a midline sternotomy. Methods Between June 2002 and August 2005, 36 patients (27male, 9 female) underwent surgery for CoA. The age was from 18 days to 8 years[mean (14.3?9.5) months], 27 patients (75%) were younger than 1 year and 18 patients (50%) were younger than 3 months. The body weight was from 3.0 to 23 kg [mean(6.6?3.0)kg]. 27 patients were symptomatic infants and 8 patients were asymptomatic of adults. One patient had recoarctation after repair through a left thracotomy one year ago. The associated cardiac anomalies included ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, secundum atrial septal defect, hypoplasia of the aortic arch, transposition of great arteries and subaortic stenosis. 36 cases underwent one-stage operation of extended end-to-end anastomosis through a midline sternotomy. Results One patient died postoperatively with a mortality of 2.8 %. The cause of death was heart and lung function failure. 35 cases were followed up from 4 months to 3 years .One late death occurred. 34 cases were in good condition and no recoarctation. Conclusion Outcomes of one-stage repair of CoA and associated cardiac anomalies in infants through a midline sternotomy is excellent. Technique of extended end -to-end anastomosis may potentially reduce the incidence of recoarctation.

Objective: To study the long-term effects of mitral valve replacement with bioprostheses in rheumatic heart valve disease. Methods: 166 patients with rheumatic heart valve disease underwent isolated mitral valve replacement from Jan.1978 to Dec.1985. 79 Patients were male and 87 female. Patients' age ranged from 11 to 53 years[mean (29.4?9.9) years]. The patients were classified into two groups: group 1(age

Objective: To investigate the possible pathogenesis and report the postoperative results of the late tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after left cardiac valve replacement. Methods: 56 patients developed severe TR after left cardiac valve replacement, including 10 patients with normal prosthesis valve function (group A) and 46 patients with prosthesis valve dysfunction (group B). Four patients underwent mitral valve replacement (MVR) and 6 patients underwent mitral and aortic valve replacement (DVR) in group A. In group B, 36 patients received MVR, 4 aortic valve replacement (AVR) and 6 DVR. Ten patients underwent tricuspid De Vega annuloplasty and 46 patients' tricuspid valves were normal during the initial operation. The surgical treatment of tricuspid valve included tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) in 9 and tricuspid valve plasty (TVP) in 47 at the second operation. Results: Two patients died postoperatively with hospital mortality of 3.6%. The 54 survivors were followed up from 6 to 132 months, mean 79.4 months. The heart function improved significantly in 8 after TVR and 40 after TVP. However, echocardiography showed moderate TR in 5 and severe TR in 1 patient after TVP and medical treatment was needed. Conclusion: The sustained pulmonary hypertension, irreversible right heart impairment, resumption of left ventricular function and sustained atrial fibrillation may be responsible for the development of late TR after left cardiac valve replacement. TVR may achieve a reliable result for severe functional TR and rheumatic tricuspid valve lesion. In some patients with TVP during the follow up, the TR might become more serious.
