Objective To investigate the relationship between mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) and cognitive impairment in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods Totally 80 patients (aged ＞ 60 years) with type 2 diabetic were selected.According to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score,the patients were divided into two groups:cognitive impairment group (31cases) and non-cognitive impairment group (49 cases).Then all subjects were observed by continuous glucose monitoring for 3 days including the mean blood glucose (MBG) and its standard deviation (SD),MAGE and numbers of glycemic excursion (NGE).Results Compared with noncognitive impairment group,diabetic course,fasting blood glucose,2 h postprandial glycemia,glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and body mass index (BMI) were significantly different with the cognitive impairment group (P＜0.05).Furthermore,MAGE,MBG and SD were obviously higher than those in the non-cognitive impairment group [(5.89 ± 2.17) mmol/L vs.(3.15 ± 0.60) mmol/L,t＝8.37,P＝0.00; (11.85±3.45) mmol/L vs.(8.23±1.73)mmol/L,t＝6.23,P＝0.00; (3.16±1.29)mmol/L vs.(1.26±0.42)mmol/L,t＝9.57,P＝0.00].MoCA scores of patients with type 2 diabetes were negatively correlated with MAGE (r ＝-0.891,P ＜ 0.01).After multiple linear regression analysis,diabetic course,2 h postprandial glycemia,MAGE and SD remained independently associated with cognitive impairment in type 2 diabetic patients (R2 ＝0.835,P＜0.05)Conclusions MAGE during a daily period is associated with cognitive impairment independent of fasting blood glucose,postprandial glycemia and HbA1c.

Objective To investigate the value of emergency hysterectomy on arresting severe postpartum hemorrhage Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 10 cases of hysterectomy by reason of postpartum hemorrhage between Jan 1990 and Dec 2000 Results All the patients were severe postpartum hemorrhage that couldn't be controlled by conservative treatment. Among them,there were 5 cases of DIC,2 cases of placental adherence,1 case each of uterine atony,uterine rupture and infection of uterine incision. Blood loss averaged 2 427 ml. All the 10 patients were recovered. Emergency hysterectomy was related to times of gestation and delivery and also to delivery pattern Conclusion Emergency hysterectomy is one of the effective methods on arresting severe postpartum hemorrhage.

Objective To evaluate the detection of membrane neutrophil alkaline phosphatase (NAP)in diagnosis of infection in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage.Methods A total of 208 patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage,including 1 52 cases without infection (uninfected group)and 56 cases with infection (infected group),admitted in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University during January 201 0 to July 201 6 were enrolled,30 healthy subjects were also enrolled in the study as control group.The peripheral blood from all subjects were collected,and the counts of white blood cell (WBC), percentage of neutrophil,serum procalcitonin (PCT)and NAP were measured.The value of above 4 indicators in diagnosing infection was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC ) curves. ANOVA and t test were used to analyze the data,Pearson correlation was performed to analyze the correlation between NAP and PCT in infected group.Results The levels of WBC,percentage of neutrophil and NAP in both infected and uninfected group were higher than those in healthy control group at admission(F =1 1 7.64, 1 00.69 and 425.09,all P <0.01 ),and the levels of WBC,PCT and NAP were also higher when infection occurred compared with those at admission in infected group (t =3.1 4,34.30 and 36.39,all P <0.01 ). The expression of NAP was positively correlated with PCT in infected group (r =0.762,P <0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curves of NAP and PCT in diagnosis of infection were 0.875 and 0.884,respectively.When 1 0655.28 AB/c and 5.01 mg/L were taken as cut-off values,the sensitivities of NAP and PCT in diagnosis of infection were 85.50% and 87.66%;the specificities were 90.50%和 90.31 %,respectively.The level of NAP in infected patients with gram-positive bacterial infections was higher than that in patients with gram-negative bacterial infections (t =6.29,P <0.01 ). Conclusion The expression of NAP in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage increases when infection occurs,which may be helpful to the clinical diagnosis of bacterial infection.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of patients with advanced schistosomiasis in Hunan Province,so as to provide the evidence for formulating the advanced schistosomiasis prevention strategies and measures. Meth-ods The data of advanced schistosomiasis patients were collected and analyzed retrospectively with the cross section research method and description method in Hunan Province,2012. Results There were 5 722 advanced schistosomiasis patients in Hu-nan Province,and among them,4 112 patients were male(71.86%),and 1 610 were female(28.14%). Totally 5 311 patients came from the schistosomiasis endemic areas(92.82%)and 411 patients from non-schistosomiasis endemic areas(7.18%). The prevalence rate of advanced schistosomiasis was 8.46/10 000. The mean age of advanced schistosomiasis patients was 60.30 ± 11.63 years,and the youngest was 17 years old and the oldest 92 years old. In the age composition of advanced schistosomiasis pa-tients,the greatest number of cases was in the 60-70 years age group (32.72%). There were 3 595 cases of ascites type (62.83%),2107 cases of splenomegaly type(36.82%),11 cases of dwarf type(0.16%),and 11 cases of colon proliferation type (0.35%). Conclusion The prevalence rate of advanced schistosomiasis is relatively stable in Hunan Province,and the age of the patients showed an old aging trend. The salvation of advanced schistosomiasis patients in non-endemic areas should be strength-ened.

Embryos with a poor morphological score at cleavage stage are usually discarded because they are considered unsuitable for transfer and cryopreservation. This study examined the in vitro blastocyst development after extended culture of these embryos and the clinical outcomes after transfer of these blastocysts in warming cycles. A total of 597 blastocysts (24.7%) were obtained from 2421 embryos with low morphological scores after extended culture. One hundred and sixty blastocysts (6.6%) with optimal morphology were vitrified. Embryo utilization rate was increased from 30.8% to 32.6%. After warming, 61 out of 92 blastocysts (66.3%) survived and were transferred in 44 cycles. The clinical pregnancy rate and the implantation rate were 40.9% (18/44) and 32.8% (20/61) respectively. Thirteen healthy babies were born, and 5 pregnancies aborted spontaneously. Our study suggested that some blastocysts derived from embryos with a poor morphological score can be successfully vitrified and give rise to live births. Selection and vitrification of viable embryos after extended culture of embryos with a poor morphological score may constitute a proposal to avoid embryo wastage.

The traditional clinical trail designs always depend on expert opinions and lack statistical evaluations. In this article, we present a method and illustrate how population parameter uncertainty may be incorporated in the overall simulation model. Using the techniques of clinical trail simulation (CTS) and setting up predictions on the basis of pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) models, we advance the modeling methods for simulation, for treatment effects, and for the clinical trail power under the given PK-PD conditions. Then we discuss the model of uncertainty, suggest an ANOVA-based method, add eta2 statistics for sensitivity analysis, and canvass the effect of uncertainty about population parameters on clinical trail power. The results from simulations and the indices derived from this type of sensitivity analysis may be used for grading the influence on the prediction quality of uncertainty about different population parameters. The experiment results are satisfactory and the approach presented has practical value in clinical trails.

The activity of free radicals in follcular fluid was related to ovarian responsiveness,in vitro fertilization (IVF),and embryo transfer success rate.However,studies analyzing the relationship between the free radical scavenging capacity and embryo quality of infertile women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) were lacking.The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the free radical scavenging window of women with PCOS and their embryo quality.The free radical scavenging capacity of follicular fluid from women with PCOS was determined by a,a-diphenyl-b-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH),2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) assay,superoxide radical,and reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay.In the DPPH and ROS assays,the follicular fluid from grades Ⅰ and Ⅱ embryos was significantly higher than the follicular fluid from grades Ⅲ and Ⅳ embryos.The lower control limit of DPPH radical scavenging capacity and upper control limit of ROS level were 13.2％ and 109.0 cps,respectively.The calculated lower control limit and upper control limit were further confirmed in the follicular fluid of embryos of all grades.These cut-off values of free radical scavenging activity of follicular fluid could assist embryologists in choosing the development of embryos in PCOS patients undergoing.

To assess the relationship between pronuclear scoring and day-3 embryo quality and pregnancy outcome and to determine the clinical value of pronuclear stage scoring system in human in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) program, a pronuclear scoring system was used to score zygotes 16-20 h after insemination during conventional IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The embryos were classified into groups Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z4. Comparisons were made of the rates of arrested embryos and excellent embryos on day 3. Comparisons of pregnancy outcome were made only in those patients in whom cohorts of similarly Z-scored embryos were transferred. The results showed that there were less arrested embryos and more excellent embryos on day 3 in groups Z1 and Z2 than those in group Z3 and Z4. More embryos arrested and less excellent embryos developed in group Z4 than group Z3. The clinical pregnancy rates resulting from the transfer of single pronuclear score homologous embryo types were similar among groups Z1, Z2 and Z3. Implantation rates of group Z1 were higher (P<0.05) than that of group Z3. These findings suggests that pronuclear scoring can predict developmental ability on day 3 and implantation potential. A evaluation that combines the Z-score and day 3 embryo morphology is useful in the determination of the most viable embryos and the number of embryos for transfer.
