[Summary] This paper was to investigate whether serum angiopoietin-like protein 2 (Angptl 2) is associated with macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus.The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in serum Angptl 2 levels among control group and groups of type 2 diabetic patients with or without carotid atherosclerosis [0.98 (0.82-1.22),3.70 (2.69-4.85),1.17 (0.76-2.47) ng/ml].Logistic regression showed that Angptl 2 was an independent risk factor of macrovascular complications in the patients with type 2 diabetes.

BACKGROUND: Dystrophin gene is X-linkage recessive heredity nerve-muscle system disease. Dystrophin gene deletions cluster in two hotspot regions, comprising exons 2-20 and 44-53. The majority of deletions can be detected by examining only a subset of exons. However, little is known regarding systematic detection of 18 common deletion exons of dystrophin gene.OBJECTIVE: To obtain and identify the cloning of 18 deletion-prone exons of dystrophin gene.METHODS: A total of 18 fragments of dystrophin gene were obtained through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification with human genomic DNA as template and 18 pairs of primers respectively. The fragments were connected with pGEM-T Easy vector.The recombinants were transformed into E.coli JM109 competent cells, followed by planted on Luria-Bertani (LB)/ampicillin(Amp)/isopropylthio-β-D-galactoside(IPTG)/X-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-galactoside (X-Gal) plates and cultured.Positive transformants were selected with blue/white color screening, and the recombinant plasmids DNA was extracted and digested with restriction enzyme Not I. DNA sequences of the fragments were analyzed. Nucleotide analyses were performed through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Basic Local Alighment Search Tool (BLAST) against GenBank.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Size of the18 fragments by PCR amplification was in accordance with anticipation. Size of the fragments of recombinant cloning by Not I digestion was in accordance with that of PCR and expectation. Sequence size of the 18cloned fragments was in accordance with expectation. The cloned fragments have high homology with dystrophin gene through NCBI BLAST against GenBank. These cloned fragments were the main deletion-prone exons of dystrophin gene.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the significance of the detection of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus and cerebral infarction.MethodsSeventy-two patients with diabetes mellitus and cerebral infarction (diabetic cerebral infarction group),66 patients with cerebral infarction and without diabetes mellitus (non-diabetic cerebral infarction group) and 60 healthy persons (control group) from October 2008 to January 2011 were selected.The level of serum CRP was detceted.ResultsThe level of CRP was ( 3.81 ± 2.23 ) mg/L in diabetic cerebral infarction group,( 2.48 ± 2.24 ) mg/L in non-diabetic cerebral infarction group and (0.68±0.16) mg/L in control group.The levels of CRP in diabetic cerebral infarction group and non-diabetic cerebral infarction group were significantly higher than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).The level of CRP in diabetic cerebral infarction group was obviously higher than that in non-diabetic cerebral infarction group(P ＜0.05).CRP abnormal rate was 70.8％(51/72) in diabetic cerebral infarction group and 43.9％ (29/66) in non-diabetic cerebral infarction group,which had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).ConcluslonCRP has important predictive value to the occurrence and development of diabetic cerebral infarction.

correlation with cross-sectional area and negative correlation with bucking ratio. The effect of fat mass on hip geometric parameters at the three regions was inconsistent. (3) Fat mass and percentage of body fat ( Fat%) showed negative correlation with cross-sectional area and average cortical thickness and positive correlation with bucking ratio in young group. However, the negative contribution produced by fat mass and Fat% to hip geometric structure became weaker gradually in middle-aged and older groups. ( 4 ) Limb lean mass yielded the largest positive contribution to cross-sectional area and average cortical thickness at all three regions in young group. However, the contribution produced by trunk lean mass became the largest positive contribution to cross-sectional area and average cortical thickness in older group. Conclusions Among all the body composition parameters, hip BMD has showed the most marked correlation with hip geometric structure. Lean mass is ranked the second in the correlation. The impacts of fat mass and lean mass on hip geometry are changing with aging and their different tissue distributions.

Objective:To intestigate the clinical efficacy between modified Overlap anastomosis and traditional auxiliary incision anastomosis in laparoscopic total gastrectomy.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 115 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2016 to December 2018 were collected. There were 62 males and 53 females, aged from 27 to 83 years, with a median age of 62 years. Of 115 patients, 51 patients undergoing totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy with modified Overlap anastomosis using linear stapler were divided into modified Overlap group and 64 patients undergoing laparoscopic assisted total gastrectomy with traditional auxiliary incision anastomosis using circular stapler were divided into traditional assisted group. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) anastomotic complications; (4) follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination or telephone interview was conducted to detected tumor recurrence and survival of patients up to December 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Count data were represented as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ranked data was analyzed using the rank sum test. Results:(1) Surgical situations: the operation time, time of esophagojejunostomy, volume of intraoperative blood loss, the number of lymph node dissected, length of proximal incisional margin and length of auxiliary incision of the modified Overlap group were (234.0±11.0)minutes, (29.4±2.1)minutes, (53±14)mL, 42±13, (2.0±0.3)cm and (5.1±0.4)cm, respectively. The above indicators of the traditional assisted group were (231.0±11.0)minutes, (29.2±2.2)minutes, (50±13)mL, 40±10, (2.2±0.4)cm and (8.2±0.4)cm, respectively. There was significant difference in the length of auxiliary incision between the two groups ( t=-43.098, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the operation time, time of esophagojejunostomy, volume of intraoperative blood loss, the number of lymph node dissected, length of proximal incisional margin between the two groups ( t=1.168, 0.460, 0.990, 1.127, -1.926, P>0.05). (2) Postoperative situations: cases with mild, moderate, severe pain (postoperative pain degree), time to first flatus, time to initial fluid diet intake, duration of postoperative hospital stay of the modified Overlap group were 40, 9, 2, (2.9±1.0)days, (4.8±2.2)days, (11.7±2.8)days, respectively. The above indicators of the traditional assisted group were 31, 27, 6, (3.9±1.4)days, (6.5±2.5)days, (13.0±3.1)days, respectively. There were significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-3.217, t= -4.344, -3.888, -2.261, P<0.05). (3) Anastomotic complications: cases with anastomotic leakage, cases with anastomotic bleeding, cases with anastomotic stenosis of the modified Overlap group were 1, 1, 0, respectively. The above indicators of the traditional assisted group were all 1. There was no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). Cases with anastomotic leakage were cured after the treatment of enteral nutritional support through nasogastric catheterization, which were confirmed by gastroenterography. Cases with anastomotic bleeding were improved by active hemostatic therapy. Cases with anastomotic stenosis were improved after the symptomatic treatment of anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling. (4) Follow-up: 109 of the 115 patients were followed up. Forty-eight of 51 patients in the modified Overlap group were followed up for 15.0-45.0 months, with a median follow-up time of 33.5 months. Sixty-one of 64 patients in the traditional assisted group were followed up for 16.0-46.0 months, with a median follow-up time of 27.0 months. There was no tumor recurrence in the modified Overlap group. One patient in the traditional assisted group had tumor recurrence with liver metastasis and survived with tumor. There was no significant difference in tumor recurrence rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no patient died during the follow-up. Conclusion:Compared with traditional auxiliary incision anastomosis, patients undergoing total laparoscopic total gastrectomy with modified Overlap anastomosis have small incision, good postoperative recovery.

Critical ultrasonography(CUS) is different from the traditional diagnostic ultrasound,the examiner and interpreter of the image are critical care medicine physicians.The core content of CUS is to evaluate the pathophysiological changes of organs and systems and etiology changes.With the idea of critical care medicine as the soul,it can integrate the above information and clinical information,bedside real-time diagnosis and titration treatment,and evaluate the therapeutic effect so as to improve the outcome.CUS is a traditional technique which is applied as a new application method.The consensus of experts on critical ultrasonography in China released in 2016 put forward consensus suggestions on the concept,implementation and application of CUS.It should be further emphasized that the accurate and objective assessment and implementation of CUS requires the standardization of ultrasound image acquisition and the need to establish a CUS procedure.At the same time,the standardized training for CUS accepted by critical care medicine physicians requires the application of technical specifications,and the establishment of technical specifications is the basis for the quality control and continuous improvement of CUS.Chinese Critical Ultrasound Study Group and Critical Hemodynamic Therapy Collabration Group,based on the rich experience of clinical practice in critical care and research,combined with the essence of CUS,to learn the traditional ultrasonic essence,established the clinical application technical specifications of CUS,including in five parts:basic view and relevant indicators to obtain in CUS;basic norms for viscera organ assessment and special assessment;standardized processes and systematic inspection programs;examples of CUS applications;CUS training and the application of qualification certification.The establishment of applied technology standard is helpful for standardized training and clinical correct implementation.It is helpful for clinical evaluation and correct guidance treatment,and is also helpful for quality control and continuous improvement of CUS application.
