Objective:To investigate the efficacy of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor combined with insulin detemir (ID) in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus with poor blood glucose control and its effects on blood glucose and oxidative stress indicators.Methods:A total of 105 patients with poor blood glucose control after taking oral hypoglycemic drugs who received treatment between August 2017 and September 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive treatment with either ID and compound vitamins (control group, n = 53) or dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor sitagliptin and ID (study group, n = 52). After 3 months of treatment, the clinical efficacy was compared between the control and study groups. Before and after 3 months of treatment, blood glucose indexes [fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose], glycosylated hemoglobin, islet β-cell function [homeostasis model assessment-beta and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance)], oxidative stress index [superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, lipid hydroperoxides, malondialdehyde were compared between the two groups. The incidence of hypoglycemia was also recorded in each group. Results:After 3 months of treatment, total effective rate in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group [92.31% (48/52) vs. 77.36% (41/53), χ2 = 4.541, P < 0.05]. After 3 months of treatment, fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, lipid hydroperoxide and malondialdehyde levels in each group were significantly decreased, homeostasis model assessment-beta, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase levels were significantly increased compared with before treatment (all P < 0.05). There were significant significances in these indexes measured concurrently between the study and control groups ( t = 2.902, 3.539, 5.215, 7.313, 6.269, 4.475, 6.050, 3.323, 5.375, all P < 0.05). During the treatment, the incidence of hypoglycemia in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group [0.00% (0/52) vs. 11.54% (6/53), χ2 = 4.319, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor combined with insulin detemir is highly effective for type 2 diabetes mellitus with poor blood glucose control. It can effectively control blood glucose level, improve oxidative stress reaction and is highly safe. Therefore, this treatment method is of good application value.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of Tongxinluo capsule on the hemorheology of patients with coronary heart disease(CHD). METHODS:120 patients with CHD were randomly divided into 2 groups:60 case in the control group were as-signed to receive combined therapy plus Compound danshen tablets (3 tablets/time,tid),and 60 cases in treatment group to receive additional Tongxinluo capsules(3 capsules/ time,tid) in addition to the therapy applied for the control group. All patients were treated for 4 weeks during this period of time the lipid-lowering drugs and anticoagulants were discontinued. RESULT:The decreasing rates of hemorheology indexes were superior in the treatment group than in control group(P

At present, the prevalence of heart failure (HF) is still high in China, and its mortality and readmission rate have no downward trend. Therefore, the mechanism of its occurrence and development needs to be explored. In recent years, it has been found that about 13%-15% of HF patients have subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), which can lead to cardiac systolic and diastolic dysfunction, thus promoting the occurrence and development of HF. At present, the curative effect of patients with mild elevation of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level in HF patients with SCH is not clear, and a large number of prospective studies are still needed. In addition, in the complications of HF, SCH is the only disease that can reverse cardiac function after treatment. Therefore, this paper summarizes the mechanism of SCH in the occurrence and development of HF, and provides the basis for the formulation of clinical HF treatment strategies and the evaluation of prognosis.

The origin of 200 occipital arteries on 100 cadavers were investigated. 199 cases of the occipital arteries originated from the external carotid artery and only one was found arising from the common carotid. The artery arised as an independent stem in 80.5% of cases and from a common stem with other arteries in 19.5%. In 85.6% of cases the site of origin of the artery was within 10mm above or below the mandibular level. In addition, the sites of origin of the occipital and facial arteries were compared. It was found that the site of the occipital artery was usually higher than that of the facial artery in contrary to the statement of the conventional textbooks that they are in a level opposite to each other.

Objective To prepare mouse anti-human monoclonal antibodies against B7-H6 and to identify their biological characteristics. Methods The B7-H6 gene was cloned by RT-PCR from a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line ( A549 ) and then subcloned into the eukaryote expression vector pCMV3 to construct the recombinant vector pCMV3-B7-H6. The recombinant vector pCMV3-B7-H6 that was verified with enzyme digestion and gene sequencing was transfected into NIH/3T3 cells by electroporation. BALB/c mice were immunized with the successfully transfected cells named 2H8 through intraperitoneal injection. The monoclonal antibodies against human B7-H6 with the advantages of high affinity and specificity were pre-pared by using hybridoma technology. Western blot assay and flow cytometry analysis were used to identify the specificity of prepared monoclonal antibodies. Results The recombinant eukaryotic expression vector encoding B7-H6 was successfully constructed. Two hybridoma clones that stably secreted monoclonal anti-bodies against B7-H6 were screened out by using flow cytometry analysis and the monoclonal antibodies se-creted by them were belonged to IgG2a isotype. Specific reactions between B7-H6 and the secreted mono-clonal antibodies were confirmed by Western blot assay and flow cytometry analysis. Conclusion The mon-oclonal antibodies which recognized B7-H6 specifically were prepared successfully.

Objective Delivery of oxygen in tissues is limited in the space where oxygen must diffuse between the vascular and the surrounding tissues. Normal capillaries are relatively straight and well spaced, in contrast, the tumor vascular networks usually display more irregularity and the vessel wall shows higher permeability and less elasticity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of capillary elasticity and tortuosity on the oxygen distribution and make further investigation on the mechanism of the formation of hypoxic regions in tumor. Method One-dimensional capillary model was coupled with the oxygen diffusion model. Oxygen transport was investigated in a Krogh and tortuous tissue model. The capillarygeometrywas obtained bythe one-dimensional model and transferred to the tissue model. Finite element method was employed in the analysis. Result The capillary radii along the flow direction under pressures were obtained for different initial radii and the oxygen distribution in the Krogh cylinder tissue model and the model with a tortuous capillary were computed. Conclusions when the capillary radius is small, the effect of vessel elasticity may have not significant effect on the oxygen distribution. However, with the capillary radius increasing, the effect on the oxygen transport becomes obvious. Moreover, with the tortuosity of the capillary increasing, the oxygen distribution becomes more heterogeneous, which is in agreement with the result in available reference. This work will be helpful to the investigation of oxygen transport within tumor.
