Objective To analyze the clinical features of aged men with hyperinsulinemia, and to explore its influence factors. Methods 521 aged persons belonging to the high-risk population of diabetes mellitus (DM) were given 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and then divided into hyperinsulinemia group and normal insulin group according to the plasma insulin levels. Clinical features, glucose metabolism state, constituent ratio, complicating diseases, ? cell function and insulin resistance were compared between the two groups. Insulin resistance was determined by HOMA-IR, and ? cell function was determined by HOMA-?. The relationship between glycometabolic change and body weight was analyzed in hyperinsulinemia patients for a period of 2-10 years. Results 195 cases were in hyperinsulinemia group, and 326 cases were in normal insulin group. Compared with the latter, the subjects in hyperinsulinemia group showed higher values of BMI, waistline, fasting blood glucose (FBG), postprandial glucose (2hPBG), and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP)(P

Objective To determine the measurement consistency of diffusion coefficient D, perfusion fraction f and pseudodiffusion coefficient D*in rectal cancers based on different ROIs. Methods Forty-three patients with histologically proven rectal cancers were examined using echo-planar DW-MRI with eight b values (0 to 1 000 s/mm2). Intravoxel incoherent motion parameters were measured on intravoxel
incoherent motion map that contained the largest tumor cross-section, according to two distinct ROI protocols:freehand outline ROI and semi-automatic tumor center ROI. The two protocols were compared for differences in IVIM parameters and the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were also calculated. intra-and inter-observer variability using paired t test and Bland-Altman plot. Results The IVIM parameters(D, f and D*) obtained by ROIs for outlined and center analysis were (1.08 ± 0.24) × 10-3mm2/s, (0.16 ± 0.06), (26.59 ± 19.54) × 10-3mm2/s and (1.06 ± 0.27) × 10-3mm2/s, (0.17 ± 0.07), (30.79 ± 20.85) × 10-3mm2/s, respectively. No significant differences were observed between the means of the IVIM parameters (D, f, D*) calculated by the two methods (t=1.113,-0.259,-1.660;P=0.272, 0.797,0.104, respectively),and the relative ICC were 0.863, 0.469, 0.663, respectively. The intra-observer 95% limits of consistency of IVIM parameters were (-0.012—0.038) × 10-3mm2/s, (-0.003—0.007), (-0.923—1.166) × 10-3mm2/s with ROI outline tumor, respectively;(-0.024—0.044)×10-3mm2/s, (-0.005—0.015), (-1.670—4.195)×10-3mm2/s with center ROI, respectively. The inter-observer 95% limits of consistency of perfusion parameters were (-0.047—0.009) × 10-3mm2/s, (-0.015—0.009), (-7.206—3.190) × 10-3mm2/s with ROI outlined tumor, respectively;(-0.068—0.048) × 10-3mm2/s, (-0.005—0.041), (-17.657—0.779) × 10-3mm2/s with center ROI, respectively. Conclusions There was no statistically significant difference between the outlined ROI and tumor center ROI analysis of rectal cancers' IVIM parameters. The tumor analysis by outlined ROI protocol appropriately improves intra-and inter-observer consistency and can provide more reproducible and stable results.

Objective To investigate the role of sulfydral redox agent in the modulation of insulin secretion and the potential mechanism. Methods Insulin secretion was evaluated in INS-1 cells after treatment with different concentrations of glucose and sulfydral redox agents by a standard insulin radio immunoassay. Results Glucose concentration-dependently potentiates insulin secretion was observed in INS-1 cells. DTBNP and DTDP could not only significantly increase glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), but also increase insulin secretion in nifedipine-pretreated cells, which could be abrogated by DTT. Importantly, pharmacological ablation of L-type calcium channels by nifedipine and/or ablation of K ATP channelby diazoxide both could potentiate glucose-induced insulin secretory. Conclusions Sulfydral redox agent could regulates GSIS. DTBNP and DTDP may increase insulin secretion via regulating the activities of KATP, L-type CaV channel and IP3 receptor.

Objective To evalue the ability of detecting the resistance of cefoxitin-sensitive,penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus by different methods and analyze the antibiotic susceptibility spectrum of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus which are non-mecA-mediated oxacillin resistance. Methods All the isolates were collected from Huashan hospital between 2007 and 2009. The isolates were recovered from various clinical sources, including respiratory tract, urine, secretion and sterile fluids samples. The oxacillin susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus was determined by cefoxitin disk diffusion test, cefoxitin MIC test,oxacillin disk diffusion test and oxacillin MIC test Likewise, the oxacillin susceptibility of coagulasenegative Staphylococcus was determined by cefoxitin disk diffusion test and oxacillin MIC test. All the isolates with sensitive to cefoxitin were screened for the mec A gene by PCR Finally, the MIC of non-mecA-mediated oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus were determined. Results Among 255 cefoxitin disk diffusion test sensitive and penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, 6 isolates were intermediated to oxacillin and 4 were resistant by oxacillin disk diffusion test, but all the isolates were sensitive by the cefoxitin disk diffusion test,cefoxitin MIC test and oxacillin MIC test. Among 75 cefoxitin disk diffusion test sensitive and penicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, 16 isolates were resistant to oxacillin by oxacillin MIC method and 4 carried mecA gene. Among 12 non-mecA-mediated oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus, the susceptible isolates of gentamicin is 10, clindamycin is 8, ciprofloxacin is 11, erythrornycin is 6, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazo]e is 11 ,and cephalosporins, teicoplaninl, vancomycin, piperacillin/tazobactam, tetracycline are all 12. Conclusions The cefoxitin disk diffusion test can reliably predict mecA-mediated oxacillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It would be best to combine cefoxitin disk diffusion test and oxacillin MIC test to improve accuracy of detection of mecA-mediated oxacillin resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus.Furthermore, infections due to the non-mecA-mediated oxacillin resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus can be treated by penicillinase-stable penicillins, β-lactam/β-lactam inhibitor combinations, relevant cephems and carbapenems.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2) and insulin-link growth factor binding protein-3(IGFBP-3) in the patients with ovarian cancer before and after operation,and evaluate their clinical significance.MethodsThe contents of serum IGF-2 and IGFBP-3 in 82 patients with ovarian cancer were detected by ELISA before and after operation and compared with that in health controls.ResultsThe contents of IGF-2 in the patients before operation were significantly higher than that in control group[(101.5±22.2)ng/ml,(49.3±15.6)ng/ml vs (69.6±17.7)ng/ml,(23.9±11.3)ng/ml,t＝3.74,2.85,P＜0.05].The contents of IGFBP-3[(39.8±11.1)ng/ml]in the patients before operation were significantly lower than that in control group[(55.8±19.2)ng/ml](t′＝4.49,P＜0.05).There was significant correlation between the contents with lymph node metastasis and clinical stage[(107.5±24.0)ng/ml,(41.7±16.9)ng/ml vs (91.6±17.7)ng/ml,(56.9±19.1)ng/ml;(103.4±27.2)ng/ml,(50.2±16.6)ng/ml vs (86.6±12.3)ng/ml,(41.1±17.1)ng/ml,t＝2.83,2.37,2.48,3.32,P＜0.05).The contents of IGF-2 was significantly decreased,and IGFBP-3 was significantly increased in patients after radical operation [(86.6±12.3)ng/ml,(41.1±17.1)ng/ml vs (103.2±26.0)ng/ml,(45.3±14.9)ng/ml,t′＝3.46,t＝2.67,P＜0.05].But there was no significant difference on the level of IGF-2 and IGFBP-3 before and after palliative resection(P＞0.05).ConclusionsThe contents of serum IGF-2 and IGFBP-3 are closely related to tumor invasion,metastasis and clinical stage.Dynamic determination of the contents of serum IGF-2 and IGFBP-3 may be an important index for evaluation of invasion,metastasis,efficacy and prognosis for the patients with ovarian cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of the antenatal detection of four indices of coagulation(PT,APTT, TT,FIB),D-dimer(DD)and platelet(PLT)in the judgment of parturient coagulation function and bleeding risk.Methods 795 pregnant women and childbearing age non-pregnant women with physical examination in this hospital from June 2012 to September 2013 were collected and divided into the normal pregnancy group(early pregnancy,middle pregnancy,late pregnancy,parturient pe-riod),obstetric accident group,pregnancy complicating other disease group and healthy control group.At the same time,PT, APTT,TT,FIB,DD and PLT were detected and the related statistical analysis was conducted.Results DD and FIB in the normal pregnancy group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group(P<0.05),PT and APTT were significantly low-er than those in the healthy control group(P <0.05),TT had no statistically significant difference between these two groups(P >0.05 );DD and FIB in the obstetric accident group and the pregnancy complicating other disease group were significantly higher than those in the normal pregnancy group(P <0.05),while PT was significantly lower than that in the normal pregnancy group(P <0.05).PLT in the obstetric accident group and the pregnancy complicating other disease group was significantly lower than that in the normal pregnancy group(P <0.05).The sensitivity and specificity of the combined detection of 3 indices in diagnosing the ob-stetrical accidents were greatly superior to those of the single index detection or the combined detection of two indices.Conclusion The prenatal combination detection of four coagulation indices,DD and PLT can preliminarily judge the coagulation status of preg-nancy period in pregnant women,help to treat abnormal bleeding of pregnant women an possess the important guidance significance in formulating the labor scheme and preventing the occurrence of obstetric accidents.

Objective To investigate the dosimetric difference of organ at risk (OAR) for planning and actual estimated during intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods Thirteen patients were enrolled to accept full course of IMRT.CT scans were acquired in the 10th,20th,and 30th fractions during radiotherapy,respectively.OAR,including brain stem,spinal cord,parotid gland and submandibular gland,were delineated on repeated CT scans.The volume change of OAR were investigated.After that,the plans were copied to the new CT image to calculate the escalated average dose of OAR during radiotherapy (Actual estimated receiving dose minus planning dose).Results The change trend of volume was decreasing gradually for parotid gland and submandibular gland during the 10th,20th,and 30th times radiotherapy (all P =0.000).The maximum dose (Dmax) of brain stem and spinal cord and the 50％ volume receiving dose (D50) of parotid gland increased significantly in the 10th,20th,and 30th times during radiotherapy,respectively.The escalated average dose were 3.76 and 3.68 Gy for Dmax of brain stem and spinal cord (P =0.000,0.000),5.11 and 3.54 Gy for D50 of left and right parotid (P =0.001,0.023),and 0.49 and 0.75 Gy for D50 of left and right submandibular gland (P =0.220,0.230),respectively.Conclusions The volume of parotid gland and submandibular gland significantly decreased after radiotherapy The actual receiving dose of brain stem,spinal cord,and parotid gland increased significantly during radiotherapy.However,there was no significant change for the actual receiving dose of submandibular gland.

Objective To determine the consistency between quantitative CT perfusion measurements of colorectal cancer obtained from single section with maximal tumor dimension and from average of whole tumor,and compare intra-and inter-observer consistency of the two analysis methods.Methods Twenty-two patients with histologically proven colorectal cancer were examined prospectively with 256-slice CT and the whole tumor perfusion images were obtained.Perfusion parameters were obtained from region of interest (ROI) inserted in single section showing maximal tumor dimension,then from ROI inserted in all tumor-containing sections by two radiologists.Consistency between values of blood flow (BF),blood volume (BV) and time to peak (TTP) calculated by two methods was assessed.Intra-observer consistency was evaluated by comparing repeated measurements done by the same radiologist using both methods after 3 months.Perfusion measurements were done by another radiologist independently to assess inter-observer consistency of both methods.The results from different methods were compared using paired t test and Bland-Altmnan plot.Results Twenty-two patients were examined successfully.The perfusion parameters BF,BV and TTP obtained by whole tumor perfusion and single-section analysis were (35.59 ± 14.59) ml · min-1 · 100 g-1,(17.55 ±4.21) ml · 100 g-1,(21.30 ±7.57) s and (34.64 ± 13.29)ml· min-1 · 100 g-1,(17.61 ±6.39)ml± · 100 g-1,(19.82 ±9.01)s,respectively.No significant differences were observed between the means of the perfusion parameters (BF,BV,TTP)calculated by the two methods (t =0.218,-0.033,-0.668,P ＞ 0.05,respectively).The intra-observer 95％ limits of consistency of perfusion parameters were BF-5.3％ to 10.0％,BV-13.8％ to 10.8％,TTP-15.0％ to 12.6％ with whole tumor analysis,respectively; BF-14.3％ to 16.5％,BV-24.2％ to 22.2％,TTP-19.0％ to 16.1％ with single section analysis,respectively.The inter-observer 95％ limits of consistency of perfusion parameters were BF-8.0％ to 8.3％,BV-10.9％ to 11.5％,TTP -14.5％ to 11.1％ with whole volume analysis,respectively; BF-10.2％ to 14.1％,BV-19.0％ to 17.6％,TTP-22.0％ to 24.0％ with single section analysis,respectively.Conclusion There was no statistically different between the single section and whole volume analysis of tumor perfusion CT.The whole volume perfusion analysis apparently improves intra-and inter-observer consistency and can reflect the whole tumor angiogenesis more accurately and repeatedly.
