Objective To study the features and differences of electromyography of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) and alcoholic peripheral neuropathy (APN ), and to provide reference basis for the clinical application of electromyography.Methods 58 patients with DPN and 30 patients with APN were used as subjects. Nerve conduction studies (NCS)and sympathetic skin response (SSR)were performed in the patients, all data were analyzed.Results In the patients with DPN, the abnormalities of NCS and SSR were increased with the prolongation of the time diabetes,and the abnormality of SSR was higher than that of NCS(P<0.05).In the patients with APN, both demyelination and axonal loss in motor and sensory nerves were significantly involved, and the abnomalities of NCS and SSR were higher than those of the DPN patients (P<0.05 or P<0.01);but the proximal nerves were just involoved mildly. Conclusion Both DPN and APN have characteristic electrophysiological features.Early electromyography is useful for the early diagnosis of DPN and APN.According to the electrophysiological features of DPN and APN,the reason of peripheral neuropathy in the patients who have diabetes mellitus and alcoholism could be differentiated.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of monitoring blood glucose in term infants with asphyxia. Methods The blood glucouse within 24 hours of admission and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed in full-term neonates with asphyxia admitted from January, 2011 to December, 2012. Results Among 256 term infants with asphyxia, 95 cases (37.11%) had abnormal blood glucose, 63 cases (24.61%) were hypoglycemia and 32 (12.50%) were hyperglycemia. The incidence of mild asphyxia and severe asphyxia, the number of damaged organ were significantly different among infants with hypoglycemia, normal blood glucose, and hyperglycemia (all P<0.001). Among 256 term infants, 206 cases were mild asphyxia, 50 cases were serve asphyxia. The incidence of abnormal blood glucose and hyperglycemia were significantly higher in infants with serve asphyxia than those in infants with mild asphyxia (P<0.01). Among 256 term infants, 227 cases (88.67%) had organ damaged. 96 cases involved one organ, 72 cases involved two organs, and 59 cases involved three or more organs. The incidence of abnormal blood glucose, hypoglycemia, hyperglucemia were significantly different among infants invoved one, two or threr and more organs. The incidence of hyperglycemia was the highest in infants with three or more organ damaged, and the incidence of hypoglycemia was the highest in infants with two organ damaged. Conclusions The term infants with severe asphyxia and more organ damaged were prone to with abnormal blood glucose.

Objective To investigate the possibility of early diagnosis of colorectal cancer by combined detec-tion of tumor markers dermcidin(DCD),CA199,CA724 and CEA. Methods We selected 81 colorectal cancer patients and 30 healthy individuals. Serum levels of DCD were detected by ELISA,and serum levels of CA199, CA724 and CEA were detected by electrochemical luminescent immunoassay,and the expression of DCD in colorectal cancer tissue and para-carcinoma tissue was measured by Western blot. Results Serum levels of CA199,CA724,and CEA were significantly higher in colorectal cancer patients than in healthy individuals(P<0.001). Combined detection of DCD,CA199,CA724 and CEA had a greater AUC(0.942)for identifying colorec-tal cancer from the controls. The expression of DCD was significantly higher in colorectal tissue than in para-carci-noma tissue(P<0.05). Conclusions Level of DCD expression was significantly higher in colorectal tissue than in para-carcinoma tissue. Expressions of serum DCD,CA199,CA724,and CEA may be a marker in diagnosis of can-cer,with higher clinical value for the adjuvant diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
