OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of recombinant human tissue type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) intravenous thrombolytic in the treatment of elderly patients (over 75 years old) with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). METHODS:78 elderly ACI patients,on the basis of routine treatment,were divided into thrombolysis group (40 cases) and non-thrombolysis group (38 cases) according to the will of patients or family members. Non-thrombolysis group received aspirin 200 mg,qd;thrombolysis group was given rt-PA 0.9 mg/kg(maximum dose of 90 mg)by intravenous push of 10% dose within 1 min,and intravenous dripping of residue dose within 60 min;receiving aspirin 200 mg,qd,24 h after thrombolytic therapy with-out contraindications. Both groups were treated for 14 days. The effective rate,NIHSS score before treatment and 24 h,7 d and 14 d after treatment,prognosis after 90 d were compared between 2 groups,and the occurrence of ADR was observed in 2 groups. RE-SULTS:The total effective rate was 67.50% in thrombolysis group and 52.63% in non-thrombolysis group,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05);there was significant difference in NIHSS score between 2 groups 24 h,7 d,14 d after treatment(P<0.05);90 d prognosis of thrombolysis group was superior to that of non-thrombolysis group,there was statistically significance (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:4.5 h time window rt-PA intravenous thrombolytic therapy is safe and effective for elderly patients with ACI,and can reduce disability and fatality,im-prove prognosis.

Objective To observe the effect of liraglutide, an analogue of glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), on the expression of PDX-1 gene in the islet beta cells of type 2 diabetes rats. Methods Sixty male SD rats were divided into 3 groups:normal control group, diabetic model group and GLP-1 group. Normal control group was given normal diet and diabetic model group and GLP-1 group were given high fat diet. After the eighth weekend, the high fat diet group was intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin (STZ) 30 mg/(kg·bw), and the GLP-1 group was subcutaneously injected with liraglutide 200μg/kg with 2 times per day for 8 weeks. The other groups were treated with normal saline by subcutaneous injection. Real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (Real-Time RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of PDX-1 gene in rat pancreatic islet cells. Results The expressions of PDX-1 mRNA in the GLP-1 group and untreated group were significantly lower (P <0.001) than that in the normal control group, but significantly higher than that after GLP-1treatment (P < 0.001). Conclusion GLP-1 can upregulate the expression of PDX-1 gene in the islet beta cells of type 2 diabetes rats.

Objective To understand the Oncomelania hupensis distribution and infection status in the schistosomiasis sur?veillance sites of Yunnan Province,so as to provide the evidence for making the control and prevention measures. Methods Eighteen administrative villages were selected as the surveillance sites where the schistosomiasis endemic was serious in 18 epi?demic counties,one village for one county. The snail status was investigated with the systematic sampling and environmental sampling methods,and the infection status of the snails was detected by a microscope and loop?mediated isothermal amplifica?tion(LAMP). The surveillance database was established and descriptively analyzed. Results In 2015,the total surveillance ar?ea was 1 826.55 hm2,and the area with snails was 55.03 hm2,that was reduced by 57.70% as compared to that in 2013,and by 40.63% as compared to that in 2014. No new snail area was discovered,and also no schistosome infected snails were discovered. Totally 718 532 frames were surveyed,and the occurrence rate of frames with snails was 0.45% and the density of living snails was 0.013 9 snail/0.1 m2. In the endemic controlled areas,the snail area and density of living snails were both the highest. The snails concentrated on the environments of paddy field,ditch,bottomland,small reservoir,and dry land,and the vegetations of rice,dry crop,weed and wood. The snail area,occurrence rate of frames with snails,total number of snails and number of liv?ing snails all showed a downward trend. No infected snails were found for three years. Conclusions The Oncomelania hupensis snails have been effectively controlled in the national schistosomiasis surveillance sites of Yunnan Province. However,the com?prehensive snail control measures still should be continually strengthened in order to consolidate the achivements.
