Objective To investigate the relationships between serum concentration of RBP-4 and the parameters of inflammatory, lipid metabolism, insulin resistance in patients with T2DM. Methods 71 patients newly diagnosed with T2DM and 34 subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Additionally, another subset analysis was performed. Subjects were divided into normal weight (NW) and overweight or obesity (OW/OB) group on the basis of BMI. Serum RBP-4 was measured with ELISA. Serum concentrations of hs-CRP, free fatty acids (FFA), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and insulin were measured in fasting status. Insulin resistance was assessed by HOMA-IR. Results Ln (HOMA-IR) and the concentrations of TG, FFA, In(hs-CRP) in T2DM were significant-ly higher than that of NGR group[1.20±0.38 vs 0.76±0.34,(2.74±2. 20)mmol/L vs (1.88±1.41),(0. 80±0. 29)mmol/L vs (0.61±0.22)retool/L,0.62±1.00 vs -0. 17±1.07] . InRBP-4 showed a positive relationship with In (HOMA-IR) ( r =0. 382, P <0. 05), but no association with TC, TG, FFA and In(hs-CRP). In the group of T2DM, InRBP-4 showed a positive relationship with FFA ( r =0. 242, P <0.05) and In (hs-CRP) ( r =0.346, P <0.01), but no association with TC, TG and In (HOMA-IR). There were no relationships between InRBP-4 and In (HOMA-IR), TC, TG, FFA and In (hs-CRP)in NW, while in OW/OB group, InRBP-4 showed a positive relationship with In (HOMA-IR) ( r =0. 290,P < 0. 05 ) and In (hs-CRP) ( r = 0. 295, P <0.05 ), but no association with TC, TG and FFA. In a mul-tiple linear regression analysis, In( hs-CRP), TC, TG, FFA or In(HOMA-IR) was not the independent de-terminant of InRBP-4 in any group. Conclusion In patients with T2DM, InRBP-4 is positively correlatedwith In (hs-CRP) and FFA, and it may be a new marker of inflammation.

The serum ECP level was significantly higher(P

Objective:To investigate the effect of pelvic motion in late pregnancy on the outcome of first trimester delivery.Methods:A total of 127 first-borns admitted to the midwifical clinic of Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital from November 1, 2019 to March 10, 2020 were selected as the research objects, and they were divided into the walking group and the pelvic motion group according to the random number table method. In the end, 62 cases were included in the walking group and 65 cases in the pelvic motion group. The walking group did brisk walking in the third trimester. In the pelvic motion group, the motion in the third trimester consisted of the combined pelvic motion involving the two planes of the upright spine and the horizontal spine, and multiple peripelvic joints. The changes of fertility, birth canal and fetus before and after exercise were observed, and the outcomes of childbirth were compared between the two groups.Results:Indicators reflecting productivity: persistence time of "air bike" on the day before delivery was (27.12±7.73) seconds in the pelvic motion group and (20.56±6.60) seconds in the walking group, the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 5.12, P<0.01). The time of contractions after exercise before delivery was (269.38±123.70) seconds in the pelvic motion group and (591.29±201.82) seconds in the walking group, the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 10.89, P<0.01). The indicators reflecting the situation of the maternal birth canal were as follows: "sitting forward flexion level", pelvic motion group was (33.64±5.91) cm, walking group was (29.50±5.28) cm, the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 4.15, P<0.01). The cervical score during regular contractions was 8.01±1.69 in the pelvic motion group and 7.30±1.40 in the walking group, the difference was statistically significant( t value was 2.56, P<0.05). At the beginning of regular contractions, the proportion of fetal "occipital position" was 93.85% (61/65) in the pelvic motion group and 72.58%(45/62) in the walking group, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 10.41, P<0.01). The "no pain rate after exercise the day before delivery" was 72.31% (47/65) in the pelvic motion group and 29.03% (18/62) in the walking group, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 25.30, P<0.01). Time of the first labor was (395.84±165.24) min in the pelvic motion group and (574.35±152.23) min in the walking group, the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 6.32, P<0.01). The second stage of labor was (25.98±9.88) min in the pelvic motion group and (33.62±13.94) min in the walking group, the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 3.57, P<0.01). Conclusions:Pelvic motion in middle and late pregnancy can affect labor force, birth canal, fetus and other delivery factors, reduce movement pain and shorten the time of labor.

Objective: To determine the effect of polygona-polysaccharose (PP) on learning and memory ability in rats with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods: Forty ifve Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned into 3 groups. Rats in the sham-operated group were injected with normal saline. Rats in the Aβ group were injected with Aβ1-42. Rats in the PP group were injected with 16% PP solution for 45 days consecutively. hTe Morris water maze was used to investigate the ability of learning and memory in the rats. hTe effect of Aβ and PP on the hippocampus cells was observed by HE and Congo red staining of methanol. Results: Rats in the sham-operated group had no obvious morphological change; and morphology of rats in the PP group was basicaly normal. The layer of pyramidal cells in the Aβ group was decreased. hTe cells appeared sparse and irregular and became smaller. Karyopyknosis and vacuolardegeneration cells were also found. More positive staining materials aggradated in the Aβ group compared with the PP group by Congo red staining (P<0.05). Conclusion: Aβ infusion into the hippocampus results in the impairment of the neuronal degeneration in the rats, which shows similar characterizations of AD. PP can reduce the deposition of Aβ in the hippocampus.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the effect of two kinds of biological agents in volume -re-duced bullae .Methods 11 patients who suffered from bullae were operated under large C-arm locating ,and infused two kinds of biological agents through micro catheter of fibreoptic bronchoscopy .All of them were randomly divided into the two groups .The biological agents in group A were fibrinogen and diluent thrombin , and that of group B was Porcine Fibrin Sealant Kit .In group A,the micro catheter with diameter of micro thread less than 1.2mm was placed in bullae through fibreoptic bronchoscope ,and then the 2mL lidocaine,5 ml fibrinogen,and double of 500u diluent thrombin were inproperorder injected through micro catheter .In group B,the Porcine Fibrin Sealant Kit was injected at the same method,and then the suspension fluid was exacted .The operation time was recorded ,and then the clinical efficacy and incidence rate of complications were compared .Results The operation time of group A was 5-15 minutes, and that of group B was 6-20 minutes.For all the patients ,4 cases were totally effective ,2 cases were significantly effective,and 2 cases were totally non-effective.The total effective rate was 81.82%(9/11).The incidence rates of common complications in group A and B were 52.38%(22/42),58.33%(14/24),respectively,the difference was not significant (χ2 =0.22,P>0.05).Moreover,there were no serious complications in all cases .Conclusion The security and effect of two kinds of biological agents might be well enough ,but in view of less cases ,they were worth to further popularized and applied in clinical practice .

Objective To preliminaryly explore the effect and adverse reaction of Marine Injection combined therapy through local spray in benign tracheobronchial stenosis.Methods 19 cases of bronchial tuberculosis were collected in our department.By assessing cough,shortness of breath and other symptoms,chest high -resolution CT (HRCT)of three -dimensional reconstruction,and length were observed by ultrafine bronchial stenosis.According to the pathogeny and types of stenosis,combined multiple intervention were sequentially adopted,and then Marine Injec-tion was sprayed through one -off endoscopic spray tube.All the subjects were divided into the two groups,the higher concentration Marine injection (1 200 mg/mL)group was chosen with the condition of serious inflammation,edema, ulcer and necrosis,obvious local granulation tissue hyperplasia,severe scar stenosis,and the length of stenosis greater than 2 cm or the sectional area of stenosis less than 50% of the normal sectional area,otherwise the low concentration (600 mg/mL)group was chosen.The subjects were reexamined by clinical symptoms,high -resolution CT (HRCT) of three -dimensional reconstruction,and ultrafine bronchoscopy a week after the surgery to dynamically observe the local changes.Depending on the situation,the injection was sprayed once a week,adding up to 2 -4 times.Follow -up visit lasted for 3 months,cough,expectoration or hemoptysis,and dyspnea were observed.Results 11 cases were effective fully,17 cases were effective substantially,7 cases were ineffective,the total effective rate was 80% (28 /35).The overall complication rate was 42.8% (15 /35),no deaths occurred.No complications related to local spra-ying of Marine were seen.Conclusion Local spray of Marine Injection may have preferable effect that inhibits scar formationand prevention airway restenosis.It is worth further study with a high security,precise clinic effect,easy oper-ation and etc.

Objective To explore the security and its influencing factors on benign airway stenosis treated with interventional of high pressure balloon expansion catheter.Methods Clinial data of 39 cases of inpatients suffered from benign airway stenosis were chosen.17 cases were male,and 22 cases were female.The ages of them ranged from 15 to 83 years old.According to the clinical symptoms,HRCT 3D reconstruction,and the results of bron-choscope,all patients were treated with balloon expansion catheter at different criterions.The balloon catheter with size that slightly smaller than the targeted normal bronchial tube was chosen,expansion for average 1 -4 times,single balloon expansion time ranged from 0.5 to 4 min,the pressures were kept at 3 -6 atmosphere,and the highest pres-sure did not exceed 8 atmospheric pressure.The efficacy and complications were retrospectively analyzed.Results 19 cases were completely effective,14 cases were basically effective,6 cases were completely ineffective,and the total effective rate was 84.6% (33 /39 ),the incidence of complications was 35.8% (14 /39 ),moreover,no deaths occurred.Conclusion High pressure balloon catheter expansion is one of commonly used technology in breathing interventional treatment;it has the characteristics of easy operation,and immediate curative effect,and so on.But if the improper operation,incorrect selection of the case,or inaccurate evaluation of the stenosis during operation,serious complications and unnecessary iatrogenic injury can be occurred.Therefore,it is worthy of attention and further summarizing by breathing interventional physicians.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of body composition on bone mineral density (BMD) in males with different glucose tolerance. METHODS: A total of 87 male subjects aged 35~64 years were divided into 2 groups by glucose tolerance test, 57 diagnosed T2DM and 30 with normal glucose tolerance(NGT). BMDs of anteroposterior lumbar vertebrae (AP), left femur neck (FN), total hip (T-hip), and total bone mineral density(TBMD)were measured by dual-energy-X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Body composition was also measured by DEXA, while fat tissue mass(FTM), lean tissue mass(LTM), percentage of truncal fat (Tru-fat%) and total fat (Fat%) were computed. The effect of body composition on the BMD of the 2 groups was analyzed. RESULTS: LTM and FN-BMD had a positive correlation in the NGT group, but no correlation in the T2DM group. The percentage of fat showed a negative relationship with the BMD of AP in the T2DM group, but not in the NGT group. The percentage of fat and total BMD had a negative association in both the NGT and the T2DM groups. In the NGT group, LTM was the independent predictor of BMD of AP,FN and hip (b=0.509, 0.411, and 0.585; P<0.01 or 0.05; R2=0.169~0.342). In the T2DM group, LTM was the independent predictor of BMD of AP (b=0.330, P<0.05, R2=0.109) and hip (b=0.462, P<0.01,R2=0.213), but not FN. CONCLUSION LTM has an attenuated effect on the BMD in male patients with T2DM compared with patients with NGT. An increased percent of fat percent is harmful to preserve bone mass in male adults, regardless of normal glucose tolerance or T2DM.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relation between serum concentration of retinol binding protein (RBP) 4 and markers of bone metabolism, bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: A total of 82 patients newly diagnosed with T2DM and 46 subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) enrolled in the cross-sectional study. Subset analyses were performed, dividing subjects on the basis of gender into M-T2DM, F-T2DM, M-NGT, and F-NGT. The serum concentrions of RBP4, osteocalcin (OC) and C-terminal telopeptide of collagen type I (CTX) were measured with ELISA. The BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) with a Hologic QDR4500A device. RESULTS: In both the T2DM groups, lnRBP4 showed a positive relationship with lnCTX (M-T2DM, r=0.564, P<0.01; F-T2DM, r=0.386, P=0.018), but no association with lnOC. After adjusting for age, smoking, creatinine clearance rate (CCr), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), lnRBP4 still showed a strong association with lnCTX in the M-T2DM group (r'=0.536, P<0.01), but not in F-T2DM (r'=0.317, P=0.072). In the NGT group, there was no relation between lnRBP4 and lnCTX or lnOC. LnRBP4 showed no association with BMD in all groups. CONCLUSION The level of serum RBP4 may be correlated with the bone metabolism in patients with T2DM.
