In order to improve bilingual teaching in clinical epidemiology,a multidimensional teaching mode with flexible method was constructed.And it was proposed that based on the student-centered learning,the content of teaching should be adjusted,English should be used logically and clinical courses and practice should be closely connected.The new teaching method was proved successful.

Objecfive To evaluate the effects of cilostazol on the prevention of microvascular complications in diabetic patients.Methods 60 diabetic patients with microvascular complications were orally given cilostazol for 1 month.Changes of Mean platelet volume (MPV),plateletcrit (PCT),platelet distribution width (PDW) and platelet count (PLT) were studied.Results With administration of cilostazol,MPV and PDW decreased significantly. Conclusion Cilostazol improves platelet parameters,suggesting that it could prevent the progression of microvascular diseases.

Objective To observe the changes of the endothelium-dependent vasodilatation(EDF)and serum vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in the patients with impaired glucose tolerance(IGT)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM).Methods 30 IGT patients,30 type 2 DM patients and 33 normal subjects were divided into3 groups. Fasting glucose(FPG),fasting insulin(FINS),serum superoxide dismutase(SOD),maleie. dialdehyde(MDA)and VEGF were measured after 12 hours overnight fast. Oral 75g glucose tolerance test(OGTT)was performed. The inner diameter of braehial artery was assessed by a high resolution ultrasound system before and after reactive hyperemia. EDF was calculated as the percent change in brachial artery diameter 1 minute after reactive hyperemia compared with baseline. Results In the IGT group and DM group, EDF was significantly lower than that in NGT group(both P＜0.01),and EDF in the DM group was significantly lower than that in the IGT group(P＜0.01).SOD in the IGT group and DM group were significantly lower than that in the NGT group(both P＜0.01),but MDA in reverse(both P＜0.01).Compared with the IGT group, SOD in DM group was significantly lower(P＜0.01),but MDA was significantly higher(P＜0.01).VEGF was progressively increased in the NGT,IGT, DM groups. The difference between the two groups was significant(both P＜0.01).Stepwise regression analysis showed that EDF was positively related to SOD(r=0.418,P＜0.01,n=93),and negatively related to HOMA-IR and VEGF(r=-0.553,-0.221,both P＜0.01,n=93).VEGF was negatively related to SOD(r=-0.552,P＜0.01,n=93).Conclusion EDF is impaired in IGT patients while the impairment in DM patients becomes more marked. Insulin resistance, VEGF,SOD and MDA are closely related to the impairment of EDF in IGT and type 2 DM.

Plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) antigen level in 204 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) was higher than that in 60 healthy subjects (P

From May 2012 to May 2013, 60 chronic male smokers received an intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg (Group D, n=30) or an equal volume of normal saline (Group C, n=30) before anesthesia induction.At time of dexmedetomidine or normal saline dosing , after induction of anesthesia, 1 and 3 min after intubation, the heart rates and rate-pressure products were significantly lower in Group D than Group C ( P<0.05 ).Thus the dosing of dexmedetomidine before anesthesia induction could suppress the cardiovascular responses of endotracheal intubation in chronic smokers and avoid increasing myocardial oxygen consumption so as to protect heart functions.

Objective To investigate effects of changes in body composition and pancreas islet β-cell function on bone mineral density(BMD)in obese women with normal glucose metabolism at child-bearing age.Methods Ninety-five obese women with normal blood glucose at child-bearing age were recruited for the study,20 in non-obese group with body mass index(BMI)less than 23,20 in overweightgroup with BMI equal to or more than 23 and less than 25.28 in obesity Ⅰ group with BMI equal to or more than 25 and less than 30.and 27 in obesity Ⅱ group with BMI equal to or more than 30.Their BMD,body fat and lean mass were measured with by dual energy X-ray absorptiometer(DEXA),and intravenous -glucose tolerance test(IVGTT)was performed.Area under the Curve of insulin(AUCins)and acute jnsulin response(AIR)phase were calculated to assess their early insulin secretion.Homeostasis model assessment β-cell function index(HOMA2-%B)and homeostasis model insulin resistance index(HOMA2-IR)were used to assess their β-cell function and insulin resistance.Results Fat and lean mass in the upper and lower extremities.trunk and whole body and BMD in those women increased with increasing of their BMI(P＜0.05),particularly in fat mass.as well as their otller parameters including plasma insulin level at zerominute of IVGTT(IVGTTins0),AUCins.HOMA2-%B and HOMA2.IR(all P＜0.01).BMD in the upper and lower extremities,trunk and whole body showed a positive correlation with BMI,FPG,lean mass and/or fat mass.respectively(P＜0.05).BMD of the trunk and whole body also had a positive correlation with TVGTTins0,AIR,AUCins and HOMA2-IR.respectively(P＜0.05).Results of multivariate linear regression analysis showed that HOMA2-%B and HOMA2-IR correlated with BMD in a linear pattern.As the vailable body composition was added to the regression model.HOMA2 parameters would be removed from the model.Results of partial correlation analysis showed that islet β-cell function did not correlate with BMD after controlling body composition factors.Conclusions Insulin resistance or islet β-cell function compensation accompanied in obese women with main increase in fat mass have little benefit for their BMD,which may reflect indirectly their change in body compositions.Body composition,especially lean nlass,is the most important determinants of BMD in obese women.

Objective To explore the relationship between body composition and β-cell function in obese females with normal glucose metabolism. Methods Seventy-five obese women with normal blood glucose and without family history of diabetes were investigated. They were assigned to 4 groups based on body mass index (BMI). Body fat content was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) was performed. The acute insulin response (AIR), the area under the curve (AUC) of insulin (AUCins) and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) for β-cell function (HOMA2-% B) were calculated. Insulin resistance index(HOMA2-IR) and the ratio of AUCins to AUC of glucose (AUCins/AUCglu) were calculated to assess insulin resistance. Results Women with higher BMI appeared to have more total body fat content and trunk fat content. The similar distribution was also found in other parameters, including the plasma glucose levels at 0 and 10 min, AUCins, AIR, AUCins/AUCglu and the difference of insulin level between 0 and 10 min [INS (10-0)] during IVGTF. AUCins, AIR, AUCins/AUCglu and [INS (10-0)] were positively correlated with the age, BMI,total body fat content and trunk fat content. After adjustment of age, the trunk fat content was independently associated with the AIR in a good linear manner. Conclusion The obese females show change in body composition with more trunk fat content. They show significant insulin resistance with compensated elevation of insulin secretion. Body composition assessment is a valid and more accurate method than BMI and waist circumference in predicting early damaged β-cell function in obese patients.

Objective To survey on the prevalence of schistosomiasis among floating population in Zhejiang province. Methods A survey on prevalence of schistosomiasis among floating population was conducted from September to November 2008, and the stratified cluster sampling method was adopted in the survey. Totally 129 villages of 19 counties or districts were selected as survey sites, and 100 samples of migrants aged 6 to 65 from schistosomiasis-endemic areas were taken in each selected village. All selected individuals were surveyed by questionnaire and underwent serum indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test. For individuals with positive serum IHA testing the fecal examination was carried out to detect the eggs by nylon sedimentation method. SPSS 13.0 software was used for data processing. Results The number of migrants in survey sites was 3 357 420, among whom 303 219 were from schistosomiasis-endemic areas (9.03%).The positive rate in serum IHA test was 2.06% (286/13 898), 276 IHA-positives individuals received fecal examination, and 7 cases were positive (2.52%). Based on above data it was estimated that there would be potentially about 33 500 serum IHA-positive cases and 845 egg-positive cases among floating population in Zhejiang province. Conclusion The risk of schistosomiasis transmission still exists in Zhejiang province due to the infected migrants from endemic areas, and a surveillance system and quick response are required for prevention of re-emergence of the disease.

OBJECTIVE To study characteristics of changing T lymphocytes in epidemic hemorrhagic fever(EHF) patients during acute phase and find out the pathogenesis,in order to elevate the level of early diagnosis.METHODS The anticoagulant blood from 30 cases of EHF patients and 50 normal healthy blood donors was collected.T lymphocyte subsets were detected by flow cytometry.RESULTS Compared with those of normal persons,CD4+ T cell counts of EHF patients decreased,CD8+T cell and double CD4+CD8+ cell(double positive cells,DP cell) counts of EHF patients increased obviously,and 25 cases of EHF in recovery stage returned to normal.And in comparison with HIV,CMV and EBV patients,DP cell counts of EHF patients increased obviously.CONCLUSIONS T lymphocytes of EHF decrease obviously but could be resumed,detection of amounts of lymphocyte subsets and CD4+CD8+ cells can provide an early diagnosis method to EHF.

Objective To study the risk factors of lymph node metastasis in the central neck compartment of thyroid carcinoma,and to explore the reasonable range of lymph node dissection in central neck dissection for clinically node-negative papillary thyroid microcarcinoma patients.Methods From Dec.2015 to Dec.2016,a total of 200 patients with CN0 papillary thyroid carcinoma were randomly divided into two groups according to the registration number:unilateral central neck dissection group and bilateral central neck dissection group in Department of Thyroid Surgery,Fujian Medical University Union Hospital.The risk factors of lymph node metastasis and value of bilateral central neck dissection were analyzed.Results The risk factors of lymph node metastasis in the central papillary thyroid carcinoma were ≥0.7 cm in diameter and older than 45 years in age and gender in male.Further analysis found that contralateral central lymph node metastasis occurred in patients with tumor diameter ≥0.5 cm.The positive rate was 22％.The number of lymph nodes detected in the unilateral and bilateral central areas was 9.53±6.04 and 12.19±7.18,P=0.035,respectively.The positive numbers of lymph nodes were 1.17±1.47 and 2.11±2.75,P=0,022 respectively.Conclusion In patients with tumor diameter ≥0.5 cm,bilateral central neck dissection is conducive to improving the thoroughness of tumor dissection and does not increase the risk of complications.
