OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of different doses of canagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes,and provide evidence-based reference for the clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,Cochrane Library,Clinical Trails.gov,CJFD,Wangfang Database and VIP,randomized controlled trials (RCT) about different doses of canagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes were collected. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 software after data extract and quality evaluation by Cachrane 5.10. RESULTS:Totally 11 RCTs were enrolled,involving 5 399 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed,canagliflozin 300 mg/d were superior to 100 mg/d in reducing HbA1c[MD=0.14,95%CI(0.09,0.19), P<0.001],FPG[MD=0.40,95%CI(0.20,0.61),P<0.001] and reduction rate of body mass[MD=0.69,95%CI(0.42,0.96),P<0.001],the differences were statistically significant;and there were no significant differences in the incidence of total adverse reac-tions [RR=0.97,95%CI(0.94,1.01),P=0.10],hypoglycemia [RR=1.02,95%CI(0.94,1.10),P=0.67],urinary tract infection[RR=0.96,95%CI (0.78,1.18),P=0.69] in 2 groups;There was significantly different of genital mycotic infection in 2 groups[RR=0.84,95%CI(0.70,1.00),P=0.04]. CONCLUSIONS:Canagliflozin 300 mg/d is better than 100 mg/d in controlling HbA1c,fasting blood glucose and body mass of patients with type 2 diabetes,and the genital mycotic infection should be attentioned.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance and abnormal expression of the CREB in different grade gliomas. Methods The expression of CREB was examined by using immunohistochemistry in brain tissues from the brain injury (5 cases) and different grade gliomas (55 cases).The mRNA and protein levels of CREB were further as?sessed using Western blot and RT-PCR in brain tissues from the patients with brain injury (10 cases) and those with dif?ferent grade gliomas (30 cases). Results The positive rates of CREB immunohistochemistry were 2/5 in control, 10/15 inⅠ-,Ⅱ11/12 in Ⅲ, 28/28 in Ⅳ. The positive rates of CREB were significantly different among different groups (H=28.183,P<0.05).The mRNA levels of CREB were 1.00 ± 0.000 in control, 1.35 ± 0.068 inⅠ-Ⅱ, 2.88 ± 0.111 in Ⅲand 3.75 ± 0.196 in Ⅳ. The expression of CREB was higher in the glioma than in control group, and the mRNA levels of CREB were significantly different among different groups(F=1.208,P<0.05). The protein levels of CREB were 0.311 ± 0.014 in control, 0.469±0.026 inⅠ-Ⅱ, 0.641±0.028 inⅢand 0.896±0.024 inⅣ. The protein levels of CREB were sig?nificantly different among different groups(F=1.123,P<0.05). Conclusion The expression of CREB is elevated in glio?mas with different differentiation degrees. The expression of CREB was positively correlated with the degree of differentia?tion, indicating that CREB may have an important regulatory role in the progress of gliomas.

Objective To compare the effects of median nerve electrical stimulation on coma patients after traumatic brain injury with different settings. Methods From 2013 to 2015, 161 patients with traumatic brain injury were randomly divided into control group (n=40), experimental group 1 (n=41), experimental group 2 (n=39) and experimental group 3 (n=41). The control group received routine conscious-ness-promoted methods, and the experimental groups received median nerve electrical stimulation with 200μs and 30 Hz, 100 Hz and 50 Hz in sequence, 60 minutes a day for 90 days. They were assessed with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) before, 30 days and 90 days after treatment. Results There was significant difference in the scores of CCS and CRS-R, times of treatment, number of sobered patients and coma time among groups (P<0.01), that the experimental groups were better than the control group (P<0.05), and no significant difference was found between the experimental groups 1 and 2 (P>0.05). The experimental group 3 was better than the experimental groups 1 and 2 (P<0.05). Conclusion Median nerve electrical stimulation with 200μs, 50 Hz could promote co-ma patients to wake up optimally.

Objective To research the relationship between the expression of PAI-1 and the clinical characteristics of the endometrial carcinoma.Methods We detected the level of the serum PAI-1 by ELISA in the patients with endometrial carcinoma,the patients with endometrial hyperplasia and the patients with normal endometrium.The expression of PAI-1 in endometrial carcinoma and normal endometrial tissues was observed by immunohistochemistry.Results The concentration of serum PAI-1 in patients with endometrial carcinoma was 18.64 ± 6.22 μtg/L,significantly higher than those of patients with endometrial hyperplasia (6.94 ± 2.87) μg/L and patients with normal endometrium (6.68 ± 2.13)μg/L (P=0.00).The expression rate of PAI-1 was 68.2% (15/22) in endometrial carcinoma tissue,and 8.3% (2/24) in normal endometrial tissue (P=0.00).Compared with the early endometrial carcinoma,the expression rate of PAI-1 in the advanced endometrial carcinoma was significantly higher (6/6 w 9/16,P=0.03).Conclusions The expression level of PAI-1 may be related to the stage of the endometrial carcinoma.

Objective To characterize differences within facial profile esthetic evaluations among three groups of evaluators and the influences of sagittal or vertical skeletal patterns on facial profile esthetics. Methods A total of 114 silhouettes,from the pre?or post?treatment facial profiles of 57 patients,were scored by three groups of evaluators(professionals,patients'parents,and laypersons)to characterize differences within facial es?thetics evaluation among evaluators. The highest?scoring 30 silhouettes and the lowest?scoring 30 silhouettes were selected as the high score group and the low score group,respectively. Sixteen indices of the relative lateral cephalometric films were measured. Data were analyzed by SPSS 21.0. Results Facial profiles following orthodontic treatment scored higher than pre?treatment(P<0.05). There were significant differences between professionals and laypersons in facial profile scoring. Different sagittal skeletal patterns had no effect on esthetic evaluation ,but lower facial height significantly influenced whether a patient received a high or low esthetic score(P<0.05). Conclusion Orthodontic treatment can improve the fa?cial profile significantly,and lower facial height is the most sensitive index for facial profile evaluation in our study. However,all three evaluator groups have different esthetic standards that don't overlap. Notably,the expectations of laymen are higher than those of orthodontists.
