Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2009;32(21):5-7
Objective To estimate the influence of abnormal glucose metabolism during pregnancy and family history of cardio-cerebrovascular disease and/or diabetes on umbilical C-peptide concentrations. Methods Chesed 85 pregnant women who had prenatal examination and their newborns as the subjects. Thirty-six newborns of mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes mellitus with pregnancy and 49 newborns of mothers with normal glucose tolerance were randomly chosed as the control group. All newborns were also classified according to whether their maternal grandparents had history of diabetes and/or cardio-cerebrovaacular disease. Therefore, there were four groups in this study: 25 newborns in group A were of diabetic mothers and positive family history, 11 newborns in group B were of diabetic mothers but negative family history, 9 newborns in group C were of mothers with normal glucose tolerance but positive family history, 40 newborns in group D were of mothers with normal glucose tolerance and negative family history. The blood samples of umbilical veins were collected at the time of delivery. Umbilical C-peptide levels of the four groups were measured by radioimmunonssay. Results The umbilical C-peptide concentrations of newborns in group A, B, C, D were (2.22±1.52), (1.44±0.63), (1.13± 0.34), (1.31±0.69) μg/L respectively, the umbilical C-peptide concentrations of newborns in group A were elevated compared to those of other three groups (F=5.11, P=0.003), and there were no significant differences in C-peptide levels of newborns between the three groups (group B vs C P=0.499, group B vs D P=0.694, group C vs D P=0.642). Conclusion Special attention should be given to newborns of diabetic mothers and whose maternal grandparents have history of diabetes and/or cardio-cerebrovascular disease.

Objective The experiment aims at probing the best condition of the isolation and purification of rat islets.Methods The islets were isolated from rat pancreas by hepatopancreatic duct perfusing with collagenase and purified with Ficoll 400 discontinuous density gradient centrifugation.Then the purified islets were subjected to histological staining,electron microscopy and radioimmunoassay for identification of specificity and viability.Results The histological staining revealed that the viability and the purity of the purified islets were above 95%and 85%respectively.Electron microscopy showed that the purified islets were morphologically intact with clear membrane and plenty of secreting granules.Radioimmunoassay demonstrated the secreted insulin concerntration between low-glucose groups and high-glucose groups varied significantly,which verified the good function of the islets.Conclusion Hepatopancreatic duct perfusing with collagenase is a good method for digestion.There aye many factors that influence the quantity and quality of the acquired islets,such as the completed expansion of pancreas,the concentration and viability of collagenase and the digested time,etc.

Diabetic foot wound distribution on mesopodi?um of CN group and NU group was 36. 84%(7/19),6. 90%(4/58) respectively,the difference was significant (χ2=11. 443,P=0. 003) . Diabetic foot amputation rate( Wanger 4,5 grade) of CN group and NU group was 44. 44%(4/9),6. 90%(2/29) respectively,the difference was significant(χ2=4. 732,P=0. 020). Conclusion The characteristics of high?risk groups of diabetics Charcot foot in the people with diabetic foot neuropathic ulcerations are middle aged,no foot of ischemia,combine the diabetic autonomic neuropathy and the feet always with recurrent ulcers.

Objective To investigate the psychological characteristics of the patients with functional dyspep-sia(FD). Methods The Zung serf-rating anxiety scale(SAS) and the Zung serf-rating depression scale(SDS) were employed to evaluate the anxiety mood and depression mood respectively of 110 FD patients ( group A) and 100 healthy volunteers (group B). The incidences of anxiety and depression in patients < 60 years and patients ≥60 years in group A were determined respectively. Results The anxiety ( 50.2±10.5 ) and depression scores ( 51.8±10.8)of group A were higher than group B [ (33.6±5.7) , ( 42.9±9.6) ] with a significant difference ( P<0.01 ). In group A, the anxiety incidence(66.0% ) in patients < 60 years was higher than patients ≥ 60 years (38.3%) ,while the de-pression incidence in patients ≥60 years(61.7% ) was higher than patients <60 years(42.0% ) ,both with signifi-cant differences ( all P<0.05 ). Conclusion FD patients show the psychological characteristics of anxiety and de-pression, and the characteristics type may vary in different age groups.

273 chinese have been studied with high voltage electrophoresis and immumofixation to survey the polymorphism of the third component of human complement in Shaanxi Provice Two C_3 phenotypes were found in this population, they are C_3SS and C_3FS The frequencies of C_3SS and C_3FS are 98.53% and 1.47% respectively. The frequency of C_3S gene is 0.9926 and C_3F gene 0.0073. These results are similar to other studies in China and this group was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Compared with Negro and Caucasian, the chinese population in Shaanxi Province has a significant difference in C_3 polymorphism.

Objective To explore the effect of activities of daily living (ADL) training on hemiplegia after stroke. Methods 50 stroke patients with hemiplegia were divided into treatment group (n=27), who received ADL training and physical therapy, and control group (n= 23), who only received physical therapy. They were evaluated with modified Barthel index (MBI) and the Brunnstrom classification. Results After 6 months of treatment, the score of MBI improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in Brunnstrom stage (P>0.05). Conclusion ADL training can improve the recovery of ADL in hemiplegics after stroke.。

Objective:To investigate the current status and related factors of psychological distress in tele-phone operators.Methods:Totally 575 telephone operators from sample of a convenient survey in a certain telecom-munication company of Shandong Province were selected.They were assessed with Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10),Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10),Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS)and Sim-plified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ)for the evaluation of psychological distress,resilience,perceived social support and the coping style respectively.Ordinal logistic regression was used to identify the related factors of psy-chological distress.Results:The mean score of K10 was (24.7 ±6.7),91.8% (528 /575)of telephone operators had psychological distress.Specifically,24.5%(141 /575)had mild psychological distress,45.4% (261 /575)had moderate psychological distress,21.9% (126 /575)had severe psychological distress.Ordinal logistic regression a-nalysis indicated that the ones with good economic conditions (OR =1.74,95%CI:1.15 -2.63),higher level of re-silience (OR =1.13,95%CI:1.10 -1.17)and other social support (OR =1.07,95%CI:1.02 -1.12)had milder psychological distress;while with negative coping style (OR =0.29,95%CI:0.20 -0.41)had more severe psycho-logical distress.Conclusion:It suggested that the prevalence rate of psychological distress among telephone opera-tors is high.Poor economic conditions,lower level of resilience and social support,and negative coping style might be the related factors of psychological distress.

Objective To investigate the biokinetics of 131 I and its absorbed dose in patients with metastatic DTC. Methods Forty?one patients with metastatic DTC who were referred to 131 I therapy were prospectively recruited from September 2009 to September 2011. Scintigraphic images were serially acquired after the ingestion of 131I (3.70-9.25 GBq) to assess the biokinetics. CT was used to measure the masses of the DTC lesions. Calculation of absorbed doses to DTC lesions was based on the Medical Internal Radiation Dosimetry formula of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. Kruskal?Wallis rank sum test was used to compare the differences of absorbed dose among different tumor deposits. Results In total, 59 io?dine?avid metastatic lesions (35 in cervical lymph node, 17 in lung and 7 in bone) in 41 patients were evalu?ated and the mean absorbed dose of DTC lesions was (10.4±6.5) Gy/GBq, with range of 0.1 to 136.2 Gy/GBq. The median absorbed dose was 11.3 Gy/GBq for lymph node metastase, 10.1 Gy/GBq for lung metastases and 9.6 Gy/GBq for bone metastases. There were no statistically significant differences in absorbed doses a?mong the metastases of lymph node, lung and bone ( Z=0.907, P>0.05) . Conclusion A wide inter?lesion variation of absorbed dose to metastatic DTC is observed.
