Diabetic mellitus induced erectile dysfunction (DIED) is a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which seriously affects the physical and mental health of male T2DM patients. The occurrence of DIED involves a variety of pathophysiological changes such as vascular tissue, nerve, endocrine and so on. But the traditional treatment of erectile dysfunction is not ideal for DIED. Glucagon like peptide (GLP)- 1 receptor agonist has been widely used as a new drug for the treatment of diabetes, and the representative drugs are exenatide and liraglutide. Existing research shows that it can improve endothelial cell function, neuropathy and sex hormone secretion, reduce body weight and insulin resistance. Therefore, these drugs may be a new choice for patients with DIED.

Objective To investigate the effects of Chinese herbal medication combined with nutrition intervention on perioperative nutrition in patients with colon carcinoma.Methods Ninety-six patients with colon carcinoma were divided according to their odd or even number into the control group and the intervention group.The former were given routine nutrition and the latter Chinese herbal medication combined with nutrition intervention.Then the mini-nutritional assessment(MNA)was used to assess the changes before and after operation and the complications.Results The intervention group was significantly better than the control one in terms of all nutrition factors but hematoglobin(P<0.05).The incidences of complication and dystrophy in the intervention group were lower than in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of Chinese herbal medication combined with nursing intervention is important for the improvement of their nutrition and the reduction of postoperative complications.

The computerized imitating system constructed by the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University contains four blocks:administration of student infomation,administration of question bank,on-line tests and administration of score inquiry.It's designed to imitate typical pediatric cases,so that the medical students may put themselves into the practical clinical scenario and solve the challenges step by step in one-direction procedure.Teaching with computerized clinical scenario imitating patients can improve students' test resuhs and activate students' learning enthusiasm significantly.It not only helps to solve the contradiction between increasing number of medical students and clinical typical teaching case shortage but also improves the clinical thinking ability of the medical students.This system can also be used as a test bank for pediatric technical skills examination.

Objective A computerized clinical scenario imitating patients and clinical course variation for situation simulating teaching were established due to lack of typical patients,inadequacy of resourees in pediatric teaching probation and simplification in traditional teaching pattern.Methods Data of clinical typical patients were collected and recorded into video,and then these data were synthesized and put into computer,designing a computerized clinical setting imitating patients' set.216 uodergraduate students from grade 2008 were randomly divided into 2 groups.The patients in experimenial group were taught with computerized clinical scenario imitating patients,while traditional clinical probation in the hospital ward was carried out for those in the control group.Examination and questionnaire survey were performed at the end of the study.t test was used in statistical analysis.Results Comparison between the two groups using questionnaire survey showed that the learning motivation encouragement,active participation in teaching,guidance of clinical logical thinking and judgment,improvement of clinical thinking capacity,acceptance rate in classroom,preference rate were better in the experimental group than those in the control group (P ＜0.05).Student's performance in examination in the experimental group was higher than those in the control group ( P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Teaching with computerized clinical scenario imitating patients is a teaching method closely related to clinical situation.It can significantly activate student's learning enthusiasm,improve clinical thinking and judgment capability,avoid risk of medical care and establish a new teaching setting for clinical pediatric teaching.

Objective To develop a measurement method for determination of optical parameters of a red blood cell ( RBC) suspension based on the measurement of spatial scattered light signals without using an integrating sphere.Methods Multiple independent photoelectric sensors and light intensity modulation were used to obtain the measured values of diffuse reflectance,diffuse transmittance and collimated transmittance.The measured data results were imported into a Monte Carlo simulation based RTE to inversely determine the absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient and anisotropy factor of the measured sample using a new perturbation method.Results The described measurement method was applied to determine the optical parameters of a polystyrene microsphere suspension with a mean diameter of 2.6μm,and the results were essen-tially consistent with the calculated optical parameters by Mie code.Then, the RBC suspension was used for testing optical parameters,and the results were basically consistent with the parameters in the literature.Conclusion The system based on the measurement of spatial scattered light signals without using an integrating sphere will provide a quick and accurate approach for quantitative analysis of free hemoglobins and RBC suspensions.

Objective To investigate muscle MRI characteristics of lower limbs in Chinese patients with dysferlinopathy. Methods Detailed clinical information of 42 patients with dysferlinopathy confirmed by Western blot or DYSF genetic test were studied retrospectively, including age, course, serum creatinine kinase (CK) and modified Gardner?Medwin and Walto score, and T1WI, STIR image. Each muscle was scored according to its fatty degeneration evaluated on T1WI (fat replacement score). The patients were divided into 3 groups:Miyoshi myopathy (MM), limb girdle muscle dystrophy 2B (LGMD 2B) and preclinical stage (asymptomatic hyperCKemia or exercise intolerance). The data including the scores of each muscle between MM and LGMD 2B were compared by ANOVA analysis and Chi square test. The relationship of fatty replacement score with course and GM?W score was analyzed by Spearman rank correlation analysis. Results Thirty nine patients underwent thigh MR scanning and 36 patients underwent leg MR scanning. At the thigh level, there is no specificity that the fatty replacement was found in both the anterior and posterior parts while the rectus femoris, sartorius and gracilis were rarely involved. At the leg level, the most severely involved muscle was the soleus, followed by gastrocnemius. It formed a sandwich?like pattern that the anterior part (anterior and posterior tibial muscle and peroneus longus muscle) and the posterior part (medial and lateral gastrocnemius) were less involved than the middle part (soleus). Of 42 patients, 14 cases were MM, and 24 were LGMD 2B. The fat replacement score of each muscle between two groups showed no significant differences (F=0.066 to 3.907,P all>0.05) except for the adductor muscle (F=5.239, P=0.028), semimembranosus (F=6.703, P=0.014) and semitendinosus (F=7.689, P=0.009). Of 4 pre?symptomatic cases, 3 showed edema of posterior part of leg on STIR, especially soleus. In all patients, the fat replacement score correlated positively with course (rs=0.732, P=0.000) and GM-W score (rs=0.485, P=0.001). Conclusions The MRI of Chinese patient with dysferlinopathy was characterized by the milder involvement of rectus femoris, sartorius and gracilis muscle in the thigh and a sandwich?like pattern in the leg, which is helpful for differential diagnosis of inflammatory Myopathy versus other types of muscular dystrophy.

Objective:To investigate the function of CD 59 in LAT induced T lymphocytes'proliferation and activation.Methods:Transfected LAT-GFP recombinant lentiviral vectors into Jurkat cells and established a fusion-protein stable express cell line ( Jurkat-GFP ).Junket-GFP cells were transfected with pSUPER-siCD59 plasmids by electroporetion or stimulated by anti-CD59 antibody.The cellular locations of CD 59 and LAT were observed under fluorescence microscope with the immunofluorescence cytochem -istry.The cells proliferation were measured by MTT assay.Furthermore,Western blot was used to detect the total and phosphorylation levels of several down-stream proteins after T cell activated .Results: Jurkat-GFP cells successfully transfected with pSUPER-siCD59 plasmids showed lower fluorescence staining.CD59 and LAT distributed uniformly on the cell surface before stimulated with anti-CD59 antibody and formed clusters once upon stimulation.Jurkat-GFP cells stimulated with anti-CD59 antibody showed a higher level of pro-liferation and protein phosphorylation ,compared with the others.Conclusion:CD59 contributed to LAT induced signaling transduction of T lymphocytes ,and stimulated CD59 molecule partly promoted T cell activation.
