Type 2 diabetes(T2DM) is the collective result of insulin resistance in both muscle and liver andβ cell function failure. Traditional pharmaceutical therapy fails in ceasing progressive decline in β cell function. Bariatric surgery has been widely accepted as an efficient measure to treat diabetes. However, the prevalent standards mainly based on body mass index can not meet the demand for promoting remission rate. Related factors should be included in prediction of post-operative remission, like end-point setting, T2DM status, biochemical index, and operative method etc. The combination of these factors can be used to benefit more patients with diabetes.

Choroidal thickness and its relevance with retinal disease has been widely studied in recent years,as choroid is an important source of retina blood supply.Diabetic retinopathy (DR) studies have been focused on retinal vascular injury and related circulatory disorders for a long time,however recent studies have found that choroidal blood vessels are also affected by diabetes,including the thickness changes.The choroidal thickness of diabetic patients is thinner than normal.There is no conclusive conclusion about choroidal thickness and the severity of DR lesions,as the choroid thickness results are determined by multiple factors,including diseases,ocular conditions (choroidal vascular status,ocular axial length,refractory errors and other eye parameters),systemic factors (age and sex) and measurement methods.Therefore,it is necessary to calibrate the ocular and extra-ocular factors affecting choroidal thickness when trying to further clarify the relationship between the choroidal thickness and DR.

Objective To investigate the effects of curcumin on UVB-induced elevation of cellular ROS level and cell death and to explore the involvement of transcription factor Nrf2.Methods Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were pretreated with or without curcumin then irradiated with UVB.The cell viability,cellular ROS level and protein levels of Nrf2 and HO1 were determined by MTT assay,DCFH fluorescence and Western blotting,respectively.These measurements were also performed in Nrf2 (-/-) MEFs.Results UVB irradiation elevated cellular ROS level and decreased cell viability of MEFs(t =16.65,15.89,P ＜ 0.05),while the curcumin pretreatment significantly attenuated the deleterious effects of UVB(t =11.88,3.77,P ＜ 0.05).UVB irradiation moderately increased the protein levels of Nrf2 and HO1 and activated JNK and ERK.The curcumin pretreatment led to more remarked elevation of Nrf2 and HO1 proteins,while inhibited UVB-activated JNK and ERK,but it had little effect on p38MAPK.In contrast,Nrf2 (-/-) MEFs showed significantly decrease in Nrf2 and HO1 expressions and were more susceptible to UVB-induced damages.Interestingly,the protective effects of curcumin were also greatly compromised in Nrf2 (-/-) MEFs (t =16.73,-8.23,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Curcumin can attenuate UVB-induced oxidative damages in MEFs by activating Nrf2 signaling.

OBJECTIVE:To provide basic industrial research and development recommendations for the supply-side structural reform in drug distribution in China. METHODS:Structure-conduct-performance(SCP)analysis paradigm from Harvard was used for in-depth study of market structure,business conduct and business performance in China since 2010. RESULTS:Since 2010, drug distribution industry in China had shown the scale of decline in the growth rate,low market concentration,increased barriers to entry,the leading of state-owned capital,etc. Though corporate mergers and acquisitions and public financing expanded the scale,management information,third-party logistics,Internet+and pharmacy alliance business model flourished,the industry op-erating performance was poor,state-owned enterprises showed poor performance. CONCLUSIONS:The transformation and upgrad-ing of the industry business model should be promoted by targetedly accelerating the supply-side structural reforms in the drug distri-bution industry,encouraging corporate finance mergers,breaking local protectionism,developing cooperative pharmacies and phar-maceutical third-party logistics alliances and leveraging the Internet.

Objective To clarify the risk factors of postoperative recurrence of early gastric cancer (EGC)patients who underwent radical gastrectomy.Methods We investigated follow-up records of 336 EGC patients on whom curative operations were performed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University between January 1994 and January 2008 with special reference to 12 cases of cancer recurrence.Results The 5-year survival rate of D1 was 89.0％,D1 + t was 91.4％,D1 + β was 91.8％,D2 was 92.5％,D3 was 90.0％(P =0.981).The recurrence rate was 3.6％(12/336).The recurrence time was 17-58 months,the survival time was 33-68 months.Six cases suffered from hematogenous recurrences,four cases from lymph node recurrences,two cases from remnant stomach recurrences.The recurrence rate of SM was higher than M(P =0.015),lymph node positive was high than negative(P =0.011),D1 was higher than D2(P =0.025).Conclusions The recurrence rate of EGC correlated with depth of invasion,lymph node metastasis and lymph node dissection.

Objective To explore the characteristics of lymph node metastasis in gastric stump cancer and the efficacy of surgical treatment. Methods The clinical data of 42 patients with gastric stump cancer (test group) and 56 patients with primary cancer in the upper stomach (control group) who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from January 1994 to January 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. All data were analyzed by t test and chi-square test. The survival of the patients and lymph node metastasis rate were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test, respectively. Results The metastasis rates of lymph nodes 1-3 of the test group and control group were similar (43%-61%), with no significant difference between the 2 groups (χ2 = 0.752, 0. 833, 0. 678, P > 0. 05). The metastasis rates of lymph nodes 7-9 of the test group and control group were 22% , 18% , 25% and 46% , 25% , 30% , respectively, and this was signifi-cantly different between the 2 groups (χ2 = 2. 168, 3. 263, 5. 761, P < 0. 05). The metastasis rates of lymph nodes 10-14 were 47% , 36% , 31% , 20% and 25% in the test group, which were significantly higher than 33% , 34% , 19% , 6% and zero in the control group, respectively (χ2 =3.225, 1.883, 3.945, 4.137, 6.823, P <0.05). The metastasis rate of lymph node no. 16 was zero in the test group and 23% in the control group. The metastasis rate of jejunal mesenteric lymph nodes was 27% in the test group and zero in the control group. The accumulative 5-year survival rate of patients was 38% in the test group and 48% in the control group, and this was significantly different (χ2 =4. 165, P<0.05). The overall 5-year survival rate of patients with radical resection was not significantly different between degree A (54%) and B (57%) (χ2 = 0. 622, P > 0. 05). Conclusions Gastric stump cancer has a unique pattern in lymph node metastasis. Surgical resection is effective in improving the prognosis of patients with gastric stump cancer.

Objective To evaluate the effect of low dose fentanyl on target plasma concentration (CP) of propofol (P) given by target controlled infusion (TCI) required to prevent response to proseal laryngeal mask insertion in 50% of patients (EC50). Methods Forty-six ASA Ⅰor Ⅱ patients aged 20-50 yr with body mass index ≤ 30 kg/m2 undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopy were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=23each):propofol group (P) and propofol-fentanyl group (PF). Anesthesia was induced with TCI of propofol. The initial Cp of propofol TCI was set at 2.5 μg/ml in group PF and 4 μg/ml in group P. Following equilibration between plasma and effect site concentration of propofol, fentanyl 1 μg/kg (in group PF) or normal saline (in group P) was injected iv. Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) was inserted at 3.5 min after fentanyl administration. EC50 was determined by up-and-down sequential trial. The ratio of Cp between the two consecutive patients was 1.2 in group P and 1.1 in group PF. LMA insertion response was defined as nausea, bucking and/or body movement during insertion. "Probit method was used to calculate the Echo and 95 % confidence interval required to prevent LMA insertion response. Results The EC50 and 95 % confidence interval of propofol given by TCI required to prevent LMA insertion response was 4.68 (4.20-5.21)μg/ml in group P and 2.63 (2.45-2.83) μg/ml in group PF. There was significant difference between the 2 groups. Conclusion Fentanyl 1 μg/kg iv can significantly reduce the Cp of propofol TCI required to prevent LMA insertion response.
