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.

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 explor the value of Tei index for evaluation the cardiac function of patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods Tei index in 60 patients with CHF(CHF group) and 30 normal controls(control group) were evaluated and compared with the levels of NT-ProBNP and the NYHA class,and the sensitivity and specificity of Tei index for CHF diagnosis were appraised.Results (1) Tei index in CHF group was significantly higher than that in control group.When Tei index was more than and equal to 0.45,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value of Tei index for diagnosing CHF were 85.6％,90.4％,89.8％ and 78.0％.(2)There was a remarkable positive correlation between Tei and Log NT-ProBNP(r =0.84,P ＜ 0.01).(3)There were significant differences in Tei index among NYHA Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ class [(0.47 ± 0.06),(0.56 ± 0.08),(0.64 ±0.13)].Conclusion Tei index can be used to diagnose CHF and evaluate the degree of it.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the pathophysiology of Helicobacter pylori induced antral gastritis and the expression of human β -defensin (HBD) -2 in peptic ulcer before and after Helicobacter pylori eradication.Methods Patients in peptic ulcer with Helicobacter pylori-posilive (23 cases) or Helicobacter pylori-negative (20 cases) were included.And 30 normal individuals were as controls.Biopsied gastric mucosa specimens from Helicobacter pylori-positive or Helicobacter pylori-negative individuals were done and normal controls were used.The specimens were examined for pathophysiology diagnosis and HBD-2 expression by immunohistochemistry before and after Helicobacter pylori eradication.Results Helicobacter pylori infection was correlated with the histological severities of both inflammation activity and atrophy in antral gastritis (r =0.574,0.640,P ＜ 0.01 ).The expression of HBD-2 was positively correlated with Helicobacter pylori infection in all the specimens (r =0.533,0.577,P ＜ 0.01 ).Immunohistochemistry using anti-HBD-2 antiserum revealed that HBD-2 expression and inflammation activity had significantly decreased in gastric specimens obtained after Helicobacter pylori eradication(P ＜ 0.01 ).The expression of HBD-2 had no variance in the case failing in Helicobacter pylori eradication (P ＞0.05).Conclusions Helicobacter pylori infection induces HBD-2 expression in the human gastric epithelium.HBD-2 inhibits the growth of Helicobacter pylori in vitro,which suggests that HBD-2 plays an antibacterial or inhibition role in Helicobacter pylori induced gastritis.In other words,the absence of HBD-2 should enhance the histological inflammation of Helicobacter pylori induced antral gastritis.

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.
