1.Metabolic regulation of brown adipose : a possible new therapeutic approach for metabolic diseases
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2014;30(10):821-825
Browning of white adipose tissue(WAT) is expected to become a possible new therapeutic means for diabetes mellitus and other metabolic diseases in future,because brown adipose tissue (BAT) has attracted scientific interest as an anti-diabetic tissue owning to its ability to dissipate energy as heat.In this article,we reviewed the characteristics of brown fat cells,the major transcription factor and the stimulating factor during browning of WAT,as well as their potential mechanisms and research directions.
2.Doctor-patient communication training mode for interns in a Chongqing hospital and its effect
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2014;13(5):505-508
Objective To improve the teaching methods for doctor-patient communication skill of medical interns.Methods The present situation and the importance of doctor-patient communication were analyzed.The training model of doctor-patient communication was designed including the aspects of effective training content,training methods and assessment tools,etc.Totally 178 interns in our hospital between June and August 2013 were selected and were divided into two groups.The newly designed training model was applied in students in group A while routine training was applied in students in group B.Doctor-patient communication ability of interns was tested through writing instruments and on-the-spot communicating and investigating satisfaction degree of patients.SPSS 13.0 was applied to do statistical analysis and t test and Wilcoxon were used.Results Score of instrument writing and on-the-spot communication were higher in group A than in group B [Group A:(20.36 ±2.85),(21.18 ± 2.93) ; Group B:(14.79 ± 2.61) and (13.94 ± 3.07)],with statistically significant differences(P=0.000).In addition,according to a survey of 406 patients of group A,367 patients of group B,group A students' satisfaction degree after the training was significantly higher than that group B(59.85% vs.11.99%)(P=0.000).Conclusion The newly designed doctor-patient communication training model can enhance the doctor-patient communication skills.

Objective To investigate whether the combination of glipizide-XL with glucophage was more rational in insulin resistance and insulin secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods The changes of insulin resistance and insulin secretion were evaluated from variations of IAI(insulin sensitivity index),IR(insulin resistance index.),IS(insulin secretion index)and HBCI(B-ce1l function index)in cases treated with glipigide-XL and glucophage or either for 18 weeks.Results IAI\IR standing for insulin resistance were higher significantly,and IS & HBCI standing for insulin secretion were lower significantly in patients with T2DM than in normal group(P

Objective To explore the relationship between apolipoprotein E ( ApoE ) genotype and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in Chinese Han population of Guangdong province. Methods 63 cases of DN patients were selected as group A; 57 diabetes patients without complications as group B; 55 healthy persons as group C. ApoE genotype of all objects were measured. Results ApoE2 in the group A was the highest, while the differences in other groups were not obvious. Detection of ApoE3 and ApoE4 was not obvious in three groups. The Level of triglyceride (TG) was highest inε2 group, and the level of total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein LDL-C were highest in ε4 groups. Conclusions In Chinese Han population of Guangdong province , ApoE gene polymorphism and DN are closely interrelated , and the occurrence ofε2 is proportionate to DN.

Objective To investigate the intervention effect of lentivirus expressing human IL-10 (LV-hIL-10) on activated astrocytes.Methods DI TNC1 cell line was treated with different concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and time points.The expression of proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukinb-1β (IL-1β) was detected by RT-PCR and ELISA.Moreover,the effect on the expression of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β was analyzed in DI TNC1 cell lines infected with and without LV-hIL-10.Results The expression of TNF-α and IL-1β was increased in DI TNC1 induced by LPS.The expression of IL-10 was upregulated in DI TNC1 infected with LV-hIL-10.TNF-α and IL-1β were inhibited by IL-10 overexpression in DI TNC1 actived by LPS.Conclusion DI TNC1 is activated by LPS and secretes proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β as immune-like cells,and these activation is inhibited by hIL-10 overexpression.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and side effects of paclitaxel combined with cisplatin chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. Methods From May 2008 to May 2009,78 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer in our hos-pital were randomly divided into PF group (39 cases) and Taxol group (39 cases). Patients from PF group were treated with cisplatin com-bined 5-Fu while patients in Taxol group were cured with paclitaxel combined with cisplatin. After chemotherapy,all patients were given anes-thesia extensive hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. The clinical efficacy,side effects and three-year survival of 2 groups were as-sessed and compared. Results The main adverse reactions of PF group were gastrointestinal reactions,oral mucositis and bone marrow sup-pression;the major side effects of Taxol group were bone marrow suppression,oral mucositis and renal toxicity. After chemotherapy,the com-plete remission rate of Taxol group reached 30. 77%,which was higher than that of PF group 10. 26% (χ2 =5. 032,P=0. 025). The average survival time of PF group and Taxol group were 33. 5 months and 34. 7 months,the three-year survival were 59. 6% and 70. 2%,respectively (χ2 =1. 859,P=0. 173),and the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion The adverse effects of different chemotherapy were observed in 2 groups. The clinical efficacy of Taxol group were better than that of PF group.
