Objective To investigate the changes and the significances of pregnant women with hypothyroidism companied with gestational diabetes mellitus.Methods 76 cases of hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism companied with gestational diabetes mellitus pregnant women admitted to our department from Sept 2014 to Mar 2016 were selected as the observation group.According to the levels of FT3,FT4 and TSH,the observation group were divided into two group(A group and B group).Cobas e601 was used to examine TSH and PT,APTT,TT,FIB and ATⅢ were determined with ACL-TOP.PLT,MPV and PDW were determined by Sysmex2000i.Results FIB (3.98±1.74 g/L),MPV (10.18±1.53 fl)and PDW (15.03％±1.54％)in A group were significant higher than those in B group (3.91±1.62 g/L,9.37±1.48 fl,14.41％± 1.35％％) and the control group (3.47±1.43 g/L,8.96±1.42 fl,13.67％±1.26％).FIB,MPV and PDW in B group was higher than those in the control group.PT (12.26±1.41 s,12.21±1.39 s) and APTT (31.80±8.72 s,30.43±8.54 s) in A group and Bgroup were higher than those in the control group (12.13 ± 1.32 s,29.24± 8.37 s).Otherwise,AT Ⅲ (78.47％± 10.36％,79.58％ ± 10.22％) in A group and B group was significant lower than that in the control group (86.56％±8.86％).There were distinct difference (t=3.072～6.153,P＜0.05).Conclusion The disorder of blood coagulation existed in pregnant women with hypothyroidism companied with gestational diabetes mellitus.Early diagnosis and intervention can reduce the occurrence of thrombotic disease and cardiovascular disease.

Command of the JCI standard is conducive to promoting the "Patient-centered" quality management concept awareness and realizing the patient safety objective. To this end, a campaign to stage the hospital quality management system and bottom-up quality activities has been launched. These efforts may help improve the hospital quality management system, covering such aspects as standardized document management, human resource management, normalized diagnosis and therapy management centering on clinical path, clinical nursing service quality, safety management, equipment and facility management, as well as data analysis and quality improvement system. These have been subject to and certified by JCI with a gold medal.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of aortic valve calcification,and discuss its correlation with coronary artery disease.Methods A total of 188 patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) were divided into two groups:101cases with aortic valve calcification (AVC) and 87 cases without AVC (NAVC).General data such as sex,age,height,weight and hypertension history,results of blood test such as glucose,lipid and homocysteine(HCY)level were recorded.Results In AVC versus NAVC group,age were (67.0±9.0) years vs.(59.4 ± 6.9) years (t =6.74,P =0.000),men were 36 cases (35.6％) vs.44 cases (50.6％) (t=4.26,P=0.039),hypertension patients were 72 cases (71.3％) vs.50 cases (57.5％)(x2=3.92,P=0.048),total cholesterol were (5.4 ± 1.0) mmol/L vs.(4.5 ± 1.0)mmol/L (t =5.70,P=0.000),triglyceride were (2.2 ± 1.1 ) mmol/L vs.( 1.6 ± 0.8) mmol/L (t =4.04,P =0.000),HCY were (17.6±8.8) μmol/L vs.(14.9±6.6) μmol/L (t=2.86,P=0.028),respectively.One-way analysis showed that age,sex,hypertension,total cholesterol,triglyceride had relationship with aortic valve calcification.When we divided the cases into two groups (with and without coronary disease),there is no significant difference in HCY(t=0.88,P=0.382) between the two groups.Logistic regression indicated that age,total cholesterol,triglycerides,HCY were independent risk factors of aortic valve calcification,the incidence of aortic valve calcification was related with the severity of coronary artery lesion (x2 =9.48,P =0.024 ).Conclusions The independent risk factors of aortic valve calcification are age,cholesterol,triglyceride,HCY.Higher incidence of aortic valve calcification may result in greater severity coronary artery lesion.

BACKGROUND: The effects of low-level laser biostimulation have been proved by various experimental studies and clinical application, which are manifested as tissue repairing, analgesia, antiinflammation, etc.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of He-Ne laser and low-level CO2 laser irradiation on fracture healing.DESIGN: A randomized controlled animal experiment. SETTING: Research Room of Laser Medicine, Chengde Medical College.MATERIALS: Forty-eight healthy male New Zealand rabbits, weighing 2.0-2.5 kg, were used.METHODS: The experiments were carried out in the Research Room of Laser Medicine, Chengde Medical College from 1998 to 2003. ①The 48 rabbits were induced into models of experimental fracture of the left radius, and then they were divided into three groups with 16 rabbits in each group: control group, He-Ne laser irradiation group and CO2 laser irradiation group. The fracture areas of the animals in the He-Ne and CO2 laser irradiation groups were respectively irradiated with 28 mW/cm2 He-Ne laser and 150 mW/cm2 CO2 laser for 10 minutes, once a day. ② The animals were killed on the 15th and 35th days after taking roentgenogram respectively. At 15 days, the collagen and calcium contents in callus were detected. At 35 days, the biomechanic anti-torsion strength was examined.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Results of roentgenogram in each group; ② Collagen and calcium contents in callus; ③ Results of biomechanic anti-torsion strength.RESULTS: Totally 45 rabbits were involved in the analysis of results. ① On the 15th and day after fracture, the roentgenogram, collagen and calcium contents in callus in the He-Ne and CO2 laser irradiation groups were better than those in the control group, and the collagen and calcium contents in callus were higher in the CO2 laser irradiation group than in the He-Ne laser irradiation group [(341.9±30.1) vs (302.1±28.7) mg/g; (197.1±19.7)vs (156.5±17.6) mg/g, P＜ 0.05]. ②On the 35th days after fracture, the biomechanic anti-torsion functions in the He-Ne and CO2 laser irradiation groups were superior to that in the control group, and there were no significant difference between the two laser irradiation groups. ③ The results of roentgenogram in the He-Ne and CO2 laser irradiation groups were better than that in the control group both on the 15th and 35th days after fracture, and there was no significant difference between the two irradiation groups.CONCLUSION: Both CO2 laser and He-Ne laser irradiations can accelerate the process of fracture healing, and the curative effect of CO2 laser is better than that of He-Ne laser on the 15th day after fracture, but there is no significant difference clinically between the CO2 laser and the He-Ne laser irradiations on the 35th day after fracture.

BACKGROUND:SIRT6/NF-κB is the important signal axis to cellsenescence, but the effect of SIRT6/NF-κB signal axis to hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell(HSC/HPC) senescence is unclear. OBJECTIVE:To induce (t-BHP) in vitro and to investigate the role of SIRT6/NF-κB signal axis in Sca-1+HSC/HPC senescence induced by tert-butylhydroperoxide in vitro. METHODS:Sca-1+HSC/HPC was isolated and purified by magnetic activated cellsorting. Sca-1+HSC/HPC senescence was induced by 100μmol/L tert-butylhydroperoxide in vitro. The senescence-associatedβ-Galactosidase staining, cellcycle analysis and culture of mixed hematopoietic progenitor cellwere used to investigate the biological effects of tert-butylhydroperoxide on Sca-1+HSC/HPC senescence. The expression of senescence associated SIRT6, NF-κB mRNA and protein was examined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with control group, the percentage of positive cells expressing SA-β-Gal and cells in G0/G1 phase increased and the number of forming colony of mixed hematopoietic progenitor decreased in the aging group. It showed lower expression of SIRT6 and higher expression of NF-κB in the aging group. The SIRT6/NF-κB signal axis may play a key role in the Sca-1+ HSC /HPC senescence inducted by tert-butylhydroperoxide.
