Objective To detect serum Vaspin level in subjects with normal glucose regulation(NGR)and newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) ,and to investigate the association between serum Vaspin and body mass index (BMI), age, gender, glycometabolism and lipemetabolism and insulin sensitivity index. Methods The fasting serum levels of Vaspin were measured in 48 normal controls and 66 T2DM patients using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ). BMI, waist-hip ratio (WHR) and % body fat were measured,as well as fasting blood glucose (FBG), HBA1C, lipids and insulin levels. Results The fast serum Vaspin concentrations in the obese T2DM patients was ( 1.13 ±0. 25 ) μg/L,which were significantly higher than that in the non-obese T2DM patients (0. 65 ± 0. 13 ) μg/L (P ＜ 0. 01 ). In the NGR group, the fast serum Vaspin concentrations in the obese was (0. 95 ± 0. 11 ) μg/L, which were significantly higher than that in the non-obese (0. 38 ± 0. 18) μg/L( P ＜ 0. 01 ). In the T2DM group, serum Vaspin concentration in females ( [0. 92 ± 0. 35]μg/L) was higher than in males ([0.76 ± 0. 22] μg/L) (P ＜ 0.01 ). In the NGR group, serum Vaspin concentration in females was also higher than that in males ( [1.05 ± 0. 21] μg/L vs [0. 48 ± 0. 14] μg/L) )(P＜0. 01 ). Serum Vaspin level was positively correlated with BMI,WHR,% Body Fat,fasting insulin(FINS)and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) (r = 0. 365,0. 214,0. 238,0. 183 and 0. 147, respectively, Ps ＜ 0. 05 ). The multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that gender( R2 = 0. 161, P ＜ 0. 01 ), ISI ( R2 = 0. 183, P ＜ 0. 01 )and WHR( R2 = 0. 216, P ＜ 0. 01 ) were independent variables associated with Vaspin. Conclusion Serum vaspin level significantly increases in subjects with obesity, and independently associated with gender, ISI,WHR. These findings suggest that serum Vaspin may be involved in the pathophysiology of insulin resistance syndrome.

Objective:To study the exogenous oxidative stimuli on the mtDNA damage and proliferation of oral cancer SCC-25 cells.Methods:SCC-25 cells and fibroblast cell line BJ cells were treated by H2O2 at 0 (the control),120,240,480 and 960 μmol/L respectively for 15 m-24 h respectively,mtDNA damage was measured by a supercoiling-sensitive qPCR method(ss-qPCR),cell proliferation was tested by MTT assay.Results:Dose-dependent mtDNA damage was observed in SCC-25 cells treated by H2O2 at 120 μmol/L or above,and in BJ cells by H2O2 at 240 μmol/L or above,the mtDNA damage rate of both cells decreased 2-24 h after H2O2 treatment,in the 120 μmol/L group the damage rate reached to the control group.BJ cells showed less reaction to H2O2 stimulation than SCC-25 cells.Conclusion:Oxidative stress may be related to the development of oral cancer.

Autophagy is known as cellular degradation of long-lived proteins and organelles, by a double-membranound structure fusing with the lysosome, for recycling intraceUular constituents and reusing nutri-tion. Defective autophagy is closely correlated with tumorigenesis and tumor progress. There are crosstalks between autophay associated/regulative genes and oncogene/anti-oncogene. More over, regulative autophagic cell death may lead to an novol way for cancer therapy.

This research was to study the regulation of intravenous administration of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (HUCBMSCs) on secretion of neural specific protein in rats after traumatic brain injury (TBI), and to explore its mechanisms promoting the recovery of neurological function. The TBI models of rats were established. We then injected HUCBMSCs, labelled by Brdu (5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine), into the TBI rats via the tail vein using modified Feeney free-falling method. The levels of neural biochemical indicators (serum S100β protein, NSE, LDH, CK) of rats were detected in shamed group, injury group and HUCBMSCs-transplanted group. And the morphological changes of brain tissue of rats in the three groups were observed by using HE staining under light microscope. During the whole experiment no immunosuppressant was used for the four groups. From the research, transplant-related death of the rats was not found in transplantation group. In the injury group, rises were found in contents of serum S100β protein, NSE, LDH, CK in the early stage after the rats were injured, which were much higher than those in shamed group at correspondent time point (P < 0.01). In HUCBMSCs-transplanted group, although these biochemistry indexes were found rising for a short period in the early stage, along with the time, these indexes were obviously lower than in those injury group (P < 0.05). Under light microscopy pathological changes of rats in HUCBMSCs-transplanted group were much slighter than those in injury group. It was well concluded that in the situation of no immuno-suppressants, the intravenous-injected HUCBMSCs could reduce the secretion of serum S100β protein, NSE, LDH, CK, promote the repair of tissue injury effectively, and promote the functional recovery of neurons.

To study the quantitative detection method of T-wave alternans (TWA), we analyzed the relationship between the graphic mode of Poincare scatter and TWA, and proposed 'horizontal search algorithm' to complete graphic processing. Then, based on the shape of Poincare scatter, we took Axial_ratio as the final index. Through Matlab simulation, Axial_ratio was compared with the results of spectral method (SM) and appropriate threshold value was selected to recognize the TWA. The results showed that Axial_ratio could accurately detect the TWA.

The present paper is to analyze the trend of sinus heart rate RR interphase sequence after a single ventricular premature beat and to compare it with the two parameters, turbulence onset (TO) and turbulence slope (TS). Based on the acquisition of sinus rhythm concussion sample, we in this paper use a piecewise linearization method to extract its linear characteristics, following which we describe shock form with natural language through cloud model. In the process of acquisition, we use the exponential smoothing method to forecast the position where QRS wave may appear to assist QRS wave detection, and use template to judge whether current cardiac is sinus rhythm. And we choose some signals from MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database to detect whether the algorithm is effective in Matlab. The results show that our method can correctly detect the changing trend of sinus heart rate. The proposed method can achieve real-time detection of sinus rhythm shocks, which is simple and easily implemented, so that it is effective as a supplementary method.

This paper has analyzed the current problems in the school medical ex-amination and explored the curriculum system reform from three respects such as adjusting curriculum by restructuring and integrating programs, implementing modular teaching to build its characteristics and strengthening practice teaching.And it has also explored the full assessment mode by optimizing the traditional one-stop assessment.

Objective To analyse the changes of cerebral cortical thickness and explore the connectivity of cortical thickness and the clinical syndrome of concomitant strabismus using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging.Methods Participants were 26 children with primary strabismus and 28 healthy children strictly matched for sex, age, education and socioeconomic level.By using Freesurfer software, the whole-brain-based analysis was perfomrmed to compare the cortical thickness between the two groups.Results Compared with the healthy control group the children with strabismus were found that the cerebral cortex became thinner, including these brain regions related with stereovision,advanced visual-attention,attention and executive control function,as well as brain areas in insula and cingulate circuit.Conclusion Concomitant strabismus in children are not only caused by pathological changes of extraocular muscles,but anatomical changes of the central nervous system, especially the brain areas involved in the advanced visual processing related with visual-motor and visual-attention, and the advanced cognitive brain regions associated with attention and executive control, as well as the anatomical changes in insula and cingulate cortex circuit, which can explain the clinical syndrome of children with concomitant strabismus.
