Objective To evaluate the clinical and biochemical characteristics of type 2 diabetics with hyperuricemia and to investi-gate the association between serum uric acid and the number of metabolic syndrome components. Method In the cross-sectional study of 547 type 2 diabetics, we recorded body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and collected blood samples to measure serum uric acid (UA), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc), creatinine (Cr) and blood lipid profile, including tfiglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density cholesterol LDL-C) and high-density cholesterol (HDL-C). Results Compared with the normal UA group, the diabetic patients in the high UA group had significantly increased levels of BMI, SBP, DBP, FPG, Cr, TG, TC and HbA1c (P <0.05, P <0.01, P <0.05, P <0.01, P <0.01), and decreased level of HDL-C(P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the level of LDL-C between the two groups (P > 0.05). According to their possession of 1, 2, 3 or 4 components of metabolic syndrome, 547 cases were divided into four groups (MSI, MS2,MS3 and MS4). There were significant difference in the levels of UA, BMI, SBP, DBP, Cr, TG, TC, LDL-C and HDL-C among MSI, MS2, MS3 and MS4 (All P < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that UA concentration was positively correlated with sex, TG and Cr (Beta:0. 088,0. 350, 0. 124; P < 0.05, P <0.01, P <0.01) and negatively correlated with HDL-C and HbA1 c(Beta: -0.107, -0.124 ; P <0.01, P <0.01). The con-centration of UA was strongly correlated with serum TG. Conclusions Serum UA level in type 2 diabetics was significantly elevated as the number of metabolic components increased. Abnormal TG had great influence on serum UA. Hyperuricemia was considered to be a dangerous factor of the metabolic syndrome.

Objective To study the correlation between blood lactic acid level and PCIS scroing system.To study the relationship between dynamic lactic acid monitoring indexes and prognosis of critical patients.Methods Differences of mortality,incidence of MODS and shock,PCIS score between two groups were compared.The patients were divided into 3 groups by PCIS score to compare pathogenetic conditions prognosis, then to study the were divided into death group and survival group by the hospital prognosis. Differences of their lactic indexes and other clinical indicators which reflected organ/system status were compared, prognostic-significant lactic indexes were selected by mu fti-variable logistic analysis. Results Patients with elevated lactic acid level had more incidence of shock and MODS, higher PCIS scores and higher mortality, the differences had statistical significance compared with the normal lactic acid group. There were significant linear correlation between ICU lactic acid level, peak lactic acid level and PCIS scores respectively. For the patients with elevated lactic acid level, peak lactic acid level, 12h lactic clearance had significant correlation with prognosis. Conclusion PCIS scoring system had a significant linear correlation with lactic acid level. For the patients with elevated lactic acid level,peak lactic acid level,12h lactic clearance were good indicators to evaluate patients' prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of the dihydroartemisinin (DHA) on the human low-differentiated lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 and to explore its mechanism. Methods The A549 cells at logarithmic growth phase were divided into control group and DHA group. The cells in the control group were incubated with conventional reagent, and the cells in DHA group were incubated with 500 nmol/L of DHA. After incubation for 72 hours, methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to examine the proliferation of A549 cells in the two groups. Gene expression of p85, Akt, Bax and Bcl-2 was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) . The protein expression of p85, Akt, p-p85, p-Akt, Bax and Bcl-2 was detected by Western blotting method. The activity of Caspase3 was measured by Caspase3 colorimetric assay kit. Results Compared with the control group, the proliferation rate of A549 cells in DHA group was significantly decreased ( P<0.01) . The RT-PCR results showed that the mRNA expression levels of p85 and AKT had no obvious difference between the two groups, but the mRNA expressien level of Bax was increased ( P<0.001), and the mRNA expressien level of Bcl-2 was decreased ( P<0.05) . The Western blotting results showed that there was no significant changes of p85 and Akt proteins between the two groups (P>0.05), but p-p85, p-Akt and Bcl-2 protein expression levels were significantly decreased ( P<0.01) , and Bax protein expression was increased ( P<0.01). Moreover, the activity of Caspase3 was also enhanced ( P<0.001). Conclusion DHA can reduce the proliferation of A549 cells and increase the apoptosis of A549 cells, and its mechanism probably has relationship with the inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

The effect of chitin on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injured by oxygen free radicals was investigated in vitro. The degree of injury was determined by the amount of malondialdehyde (MDA) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) in the culture medium. The results indicated that chitin could reduce the amount of MDA and LDH significantly, showing that chitin could protect HUVECs from oxygen free radicals injury.

Gossypol has been shown to cause a side effect hypokalemia. This study was designed to evalulated the possible role of gossypol in relation to renal potassium loss by using histochemical method for comparative analysis of gossypol and gentamicin, a well known tubulo-toxic agent, as positive control with respect to nephrotoxic demage in rats and guinea pigs. The results indicated that gossypol had obvious effect on reabsorption function by inducing transitional decrease of membrane enzymes activities of renal tubular cells but had no effect as comparable with gentamicin to cause structureal damage of tubular cells.

Objective To explore the efficacy and postoperative survival times of stereotactic radiosurgery by X-knife in the treatment of brain metastatic tumors.Methods Between March 1996 and March 2008,520 patients with brain metastatic tumors were treated in our hospital by stereotactic radiosurgery using X-knife.Among the cases,336 had single metastatic lesions,and 184 presented with multifocal tumors(2 lesions in 51 patients,3-5 lesions in 63,and 6-10 lesions in 70).The tumors sized 5 to 35 mm in diameter with a mean of 16.4 mm.Stereotactic radiosurgery was carried out in the cases with a mean central dose of 22 Gy(20 to 25 Gy),and mean marginal dose of 12 Gy(10 to 14 Gy).Over 80% of the lesions were encircled with the dosage.Results The 520 patients were followed up for 8 to 36 months(mean,20 months).CT and MRI performed in the 6th months postoperation showed complete response in 218 patients(41.9%),partial response in 182(35.0%),no response in 78(15.0%),and progressed disease in 42(8.1%).The overall control rate of the tumors were 91.9%(478/520).In this series,the 6-months survival rate was 85.0%(442/520),12-month survival rate was 68.1%(354/520),and the 1-year and 3-year survival rates were 40% and 5.5% respectively.The medium survival time was 12.6 months.Conclusions Stereotactic radiosurgery is an effective method for brain metastatic tumors.It can improve the life quality and survival time of the patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the antimicrobial resistances of Gram-negative bacilli isolated from patients with lower respiratory infection in intensive care unit(ICU),so as to provide reasonable selections for antibiotic in clinical treatment.METHODS The phlegm specimens from ICU inpatients with lower respiratory tract infection were collected from 2004 to 2007,and drug sensitivity test was performed according to NCCLS standards.RESULTS Gram-negative bacilli were accounted for 75.2% of total strains.The most predominant pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(42.7%),Acinetobacter baumannii(16.3%),Sternotrophomonas maltophilia(10.4%),Escherichia coli(10.0%),and Klebsiella pneumoniae(6.7%).The prevalence of ESBLs in E.coli and K.pneumoniae increased from 54.5% and 37.5 % in 2004 to 65.6 % and 52.7% in 2007.ESBLs non-producing strains showed lower resistance rates to the aminoglycosides,quinolones and the third and fourth generation cephalosporin than those of ESBLs producing strains.Nonfermentative Gram-negative bacilli were very highly resistant to most antimicrobial agents.CONCLUSIONS The drug resistance rates of Gram-negative bacilli of lower respiratory tract are serious.It is important to investigate the antimicrobial resistances of pathogenic bacteria and rationally use of antibiotics.
