Objective To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at position + 10225 in adiponectin receptor 1 gene and type 2 diabetes.Methods The genotypes of + 10225C/G of adiponectin receptor 1 were detected by polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) in 200 type 2 diabetes and 100 health controls.Fasting blood samples of all cases were obtained to extract DNA and detect genotype.Statistical software spss 13.0 was used to analyzed.Results Frequency of G-type allele in type 2 diabetes was 40.5％,that in normal controls was 23.5％,there was significant diffierences in the genotype frequencies of SNP+10225 between type 2 diabetes and health controls (x2 =128.0,P＜0.01).Conclusion AdipoR1 + 10225C/G polymorphism was probably associated with type 2 diabetes,G-type allele might be a genetic risk factor of type 2 diabetes.

Some female spinal cord injured patients may present a raise of serum prolactin which is irrelevant with pregnancy, and re-sults in irregular menstruation and galactorrhea. Hyperprolactinemia may even happen in men after spinal cord injury. This kind of hyperpro-lactinemia does not relate with the level or severity of spinal cord injury, and maintains for various time. The hypersensitivity to thyrotro-pin-releasing hormone may relate to the elevatory serum prolactin and amenorrhea. In addition, there are some suspicious factors, such as chest wall injury, pituitary body contusion, enkephalins increasing, the stimulation of spinal neural pathways, stress, and so on. Bromocripti-ne has been tried for it.

Objective To supply safe mechanic refererence for reduction of thoracolumbar burstfracture with pediclc screws and lay biomechanic foundation for developing a new type of digitizing pediclc screws. Methods The change of stress and its scope of pediclc screws during reduction of thoracolumbar burstfracture were tested to determine the relationship of the degree of reduction with stress and strain. Results A total of 15 burstfracture specimens were obtained successfully. Stress was small and changed mildly at the beginning of reduction stage. Stress presented transparent elevation tendency at the stage of body height of 75% of intact until at the stage of 90%. When the height of vertebral body restored from 90% to 95%, the curve of stress changed gently. The maximum stress of left screw was 98.4?10.3 and the right was 101.2?13.4. The stress of bilateral screws did not differ significantly. It was calculated that the left strain was (34.64?3.84)N and the right one was (35.544?3.61)N, the moment was (5.20?0.58)Nm of the left and (5.33?0.54)Nm of the right. There was not significant difference between the strain and the moment of bilateral screws. Conclusion The safe range of reduction force is between 4.5Nm and 6Nm. The burstfracture of vertebral body can be both reduced successfully and prevented from overpropping.

Adrenal medullary hyperplasia (AMH) is a rare cause of secondary hypertension. Herein we analysed clinical manifestation of 4 cases. The clinical and biochemical features of AMH were similar to those of pheochromocytoma. 131 I MIBG scintigram and CT scanning were helpful to make differential diagnosis. Etiology, diagnosis and treatment of AMH were discussed.

Objective:To determine the shear bond strength and analyze the bonding mechanism of home-made and imported nickel-based alloys to resin-veneers.Methods: Home-made and imported alloy disks were cast by lost-wax technique and embedded in acrylic resin fabricating cylinders.Sixteen specimens of each alloy were divided into 2 subgroups: thermocycling group and non-thermocycling group.Specimens in thermocycling groups were submitted to thermocycling(300 cycles) and those in non-thermocycling groups were just stored in water at 37?C for 24 h(0 cycles).Then the shear bond strength values were determined by universal testing machine.The highest shear bond strength values were recorded and metallurgical analysis was performed on the interface between alloys and resin-veneers.Results: The shear bond strength values of both alloys to resin-veneers were relatively high either before or after thermocycling.The shear bond strength values of home-made alloy+thermocycling group,imported alloy+thermocycling group,home-made alloy+non-thermocycling group and imported alloy + non-thermocycling group were(10.50?2.72),(13.12?2.82),(15.51?3.04) and(18.44?3.15) MPa,respectively.The bond strength was significantly different before and after thermocycling for both alloys(P

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of arterial chemotherapy and embolization in the treatment of advanced uterine carcinoma.Methods In this study,52 cases of uterine carcinoma(including 43 carcinoma of cervix and 9 cases carcinoma of endonetrium)were treated interventional therapy.In these cases,after one or two times interventional therapy and after 10-14 days,45 cases followed by uterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. 7 cases that can't operated continue followed by interventional therapy. Results Curative effect was obvious,the clinical symptoms were alleviated,the bleed in operation was decreased and the tumor was divided easily.In 45 cases followed by operation,the one-year and three-year survival rate are 100% and 92%.In 7 cases treated by interventional therapy alone,the one-year and three-year survival rate are 100% and 85%.Conlusion The interventional therapy preoperation can reduce the clinical stage and metastasis of lymph,improve the ectomy by operation and survival rate of patients obviously,so it can be used as a routine treatment in uterine carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the effects of intrathecal injection (IT) of agonist and antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit 1 (NMDA NR1) on pain threshold and spinal levels of glutamate and glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1) in rat model of chronic constriction injury (CCI) induced neuropathic pain.Methods Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (Sham,CCI,NM-DA,and Humanin).The CCI model was established by right sciatic nerve constriction.The thermal and mechanical thresholds were assessed by paw withdrawal latency (PWL) to radiant heat and yon Frey filaments at 1,3,5,7,10 and 14 days as well as behavior after CCI.The NMDA and Humanin groups were administered intrathecally for 3 days before surgery.Spinal expression of GLT-1 assessed by Weston blotting and levels of glutamate were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results Compared to Sham group,the rats in CCI group gradually appeared the symptoms of toe close together,foot valgus and repeated licking to the operative side of the hind legs after surgery,and the paw withdrawal threshold (PWT),and PWL were greatly decreased,reaching the lowest level on the 7th day.Meanwhile,the glutamate content was increased,and the GLT-1 expression was decreased in spinal cord (P ＜ 0.05).Compared to CCI group,the rats in NMDA group were observed with further decrease in PWT,PWL and GLT-1 expressions at all observed timepoints (P ＜ 0.05),but increase in glutamate content in spine cord (P ＜0.05).Compared to CCI group,the rats in Humanin group were observed with increase in PWT,PWL and GLT-1 expressions at all observed timepoint (P ＜ 0.05),but decrease in glutamate content in spine cord (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions NMDA receptor NR1 subunit participated in regulating neuropathic pain,inhibiting NMDA receptor NR1 subunit can alleviate neuropathic pain by down-regulating of glutamate and GLT-1.

Objective To evaluate the effect of TBL (team-based learning) method in pharmacology teaching for the foreign students of clinical medicine. Methods In the course of pharmacology teaching of the foreign students of clinical medicine, TBL method was performed in the 2012-year students and tradi-tional teaching method was performed in the 2011-year students. After the teaching, students' grades in the ordinary performance, their final exam scores and their evaluation of the two teaching methods were com-pared. Graph pad 5 was used to analyze the data and the t test was performed. Results The average ordi-nary performance of the students with TBL was significantly higher than that with the traditional teaching [(84.94 ±12.66) vs. (72.30 ±4.90), P=0.000] and the final examination scores were significantly im-proved [(74.00±6.76) vs. (69.00±6.20), P=0.023]. The survey showed students were more satisfied with the TBL teaching mode than traditional teaching mode [(8.40±0.71) vs. (7.12±1.07), P=0.000]. Conclusion TBL teach-ing mode can effectively improve the pharmacology teaching effect of foreign students.
