Objective It would make a reconstructed ear more naturally when deep temporal fascia, which is much thinner, cover the MEDPOR ear framework instead of superficial temporal fascia. However, without an axial vascular supply, should skingraft be taken on the islanded deep temporal fascia flap? Perhaps this fascia flap could get a new blood supply from the underlying superficial temporal fascia through the porous framework after a period of time. This study was to test its possibility. Methods A piece of 30?15?2mm MEDPOR material was inserted between superficial and deep fascia on the back of a rabbit. In control group, skin graft on the deep surface of deep fascia was operated at once; in experiment group, the incision was sutured and the skin graft was operated 3 weeks later in the same incision. Results Skin grafts were taken in all the 6 rabbits in the experiment group. 80%～100% of necrosis occurred in all the 6 rabbits of control group. Conclusion Without an axial vascular supply, skin graft can not survive on the islanded deep fascia flap. This fascia flap can get a new blood supply from the underlying superficial fascia through the porous MEDPOR material, through which small vessels grow between the two fascia after 3 weeks.

Objective To investigate the effect of liraglutide combined with glargine insulin in treating the patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods Sixty-one cases of newly diagnosed T2DM in the endocrinology department of Affiliated Chaozhou Central Hospital of Southern Medical University,from August 2014 to December 2015 were selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table.The observation group (29 cases) was treated with liraglutide combined with glargine insulin and the control group (32 cases) was given the intensive insulin therapy.The curative effects before and after treatment were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results The fast plasma glucose(FPG),postprandial 2 h blood glucose(PPG),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),fasting C peptide(FCP),postprandial 2 h C peptide(PCP),insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR),blood lipid indicators and body mass index after 12-week treatment were decreased in the treatment and follow up periods,while pancreatic β cell function index (HOMA-β) and HDL-C were increased,indicating that the two kinds of treatment method all were effective.The effect onset in the observation group was faster,the above indexes after 4-week treatment were significantly improved compared with before treatment.The above indexes after 4-,12-week treatment in the observation group were significantly superior to those in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Liraglutide combined with glargine insulin has better effect in the aspects of reducing blood glucose,regulating blood lipid,decreasing the body mass and islet function recovery than the intensive insulin treatment and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

The motor function of the trunk in 10 hemiplegic patlents was evaluated with Biodex Sys- tem Ⅱisokinetic testing aparatus. The result shows that the strength of flexors and extensors of the trunk,especially the flexors,becomes weaker(The ratio of flexors to extensors is less than 1).The patients weretreated with a series of the trunk retraining methods. The motor function of the trunk was improved aftertreatment(P<0.01 ).The total motor function(Fugl-Meyer Assessing Scale)also makes significant progress(P<0.01).The study proposes that the retraining and regaining of the trunk motor function in hemiplegiais quite important not only to the trunk but also to total motor function.

OBJECTIVETo study the difference in stress and apoptosis related genes transcription between hTERT-RPE1 cells exposed to simulated microwave radiation and the cells with heat water bath, and the effects of microwave on gene transcription in cultured human retina pigment epithelial cells.

METHODScDNA microarray technique was used to detect the mRNA isolated from hTERT-RPE1 cells exposed to 2 450 MHz simulated microwave radiation and with heat water bath, respectively.

RESULTSAmong the 97 related aim genes, there were seven genes up-regulating its transcription, i.e., M31166 (2.52fold), L24123 (2.66fold), AF039704 (2.22fold), U67156 (2.07fold), AF040958 (2.13fold), NM-001423 (2.63fold) and NM-005346 (3.68fold). But, no notably down-regulating gene in transcription was detected.

CONCLUSIONSMicrowave could induce up-regulating in multiple stress and apoptosis related genes transcription in cultured human retina pigment epithelial cells, hTERT-RPE1 cells. Microwave radiation has unique effect itself in addition to its heat effect.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of Changsulin ? with Lantus ? in treating patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods:This was a phase Ⅲ, multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, active-controlled clinical trial. A total of 578 participants with T2DM inadequately controlled on oral hypoglycemic agents were randomized 3∶1 to Changsulin ? or Lantus ? treatment for 24 weeks. The efficacy measures included changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2h postprandial plasma glucose (2hPG), 8-point self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) profiles from baseline, and proportions of subjects achieving targets of HbA1c and FPG. The safety outcomes included rates of hypoglycemia, adverse events (AEs) and anti-insulin glargine antibody. Results:After 24 weeks of treatment, mean HbAlc decreased 1.16% and 1.25%, FPG decreased 3.05 mmol/L and 2.90 mmol/L, 2hPG decreased 2.49 mmol/L and 2.38 mmol/L in Changsulin ? and in Lantus ?, respectively. No significant differences could be viewed in above parameters between the two groups (all P>0.05). There were also no significant differences between Changsulin ? and Lantus ? in 8-point SMBG profiles from baseline and proportions of subjects achieving the targets of HbA1c and FPG (all P>0.05). The rates of total hypoglycemia (38.00% and 39.01% for Changsulin ? and Lantus ?, respectively) and nocturnal hypoglycemia (17.25% and 16.31% for Changsulin ? and Lantus ?, respectively) were similar between the two groups (all P>0.05). Most of the hypoglycemia events were asymptomatic, and no severe hypoglycemia were found in both groups. No differences were observed in rates of AEs (61.77% vs.52.48%) and anti-insulin glargine antibody (after 24 weeks of treatment, 6.91% vs.3.65%) between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Changsulin ? shows similar efficacy and safety profiles compared with Lantus ? and Changsulin ? treatment was well tolerated in patients with T2DM.
