Objective To test the effectiveness of an integrated intervention to improve control and management of type 2 diabetic patients.Methods The study was designed as a randomized and multi-center clinic trial for 24 weeks.150 overweight patients from 2 companies and one hospital in Shanghai were recruited.The principal objective of the project was to compare the effectiveness of a structured diabetes management program consisting of 200 kcal breakfast as a meal replacement with low glycemic index (GI),scheduled blood glucose monitoring(6 times per week),low GI diet consulting,monitoring and medical check up and nutritional education (diet consulting,health education on nutrition and healthy lifestyle) in overweight individuals with type 2 diabetes.Results At 12th week,the level of fasting blood glucose(FBG) in both groups decreased by 16.5% and 10.6%,and at 24th week,the FBG also decreased by 25.0% in intervention group,but in control group FGB increased 2.8% (P＜0.01).Meanwhile,there were 8.2% and 11.1% reductions in HbA1C respectively at 12th week and at 24th week in intervention group,while the values were increased slightly in control group(P＜0.01).Compared with control group,waist circumference,hip circumference,and blood pressure were significantly reduced after treatment for 24 weeks in intervention group (P＜0.01).Conclusions Integrated intervention is an effective approach in managing FBG,HbA1C blood pressure,and weight control in overweight diabetic patients.

Objective:To investigate the relationship of microcystic elongated fragmented (MELF) and clinicopathological features of patients with low grade endometrial endometrioid carcinoma, and to analyze its impact on prognosis.Methods:The clinical pathological data of 512 cases with low grade endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma were collected. The MELF invasive pattern in all of the sections were reappraised. The correlations between MELF pattern and clinicopathological features were analyzed by chi-square test, and the independent risk factor of lymph node metastasis were evaluated by Logistic multivariate regression analysis. Survival curves was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method, and Log-rank test was used to compare progression free survival (PFS) between patients with or without MELF pattern. Disease progression-related multivariate analysis was carried out by Cox proportional hazards model.Results:MELF pattern was observed in 12.9% (66/512) low grade endometrioid adenocarcinoma. It was significantly associated with cervical stroma invasion, more than half of the depth of myometrial invasion, lymph node metastasis and vessel invasion ( P<0.05). In addition, MELF pattern was an independent risk factor for lymph node metastasis ( P<0.05). The 5-year PFS of patients with and without MELF pattern were 95.0% and 96.0% respectively ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The patients with MELF pattern are more likely accompany with cervical stroma and deeper myometrium invasion, vessel invasion, and lymph node metastasis, and it is an independent risk factor of lymph node metastasis. However, MELF pattern has no significant impact on prognosis of patients with endometrioid carcinoma.
