Objective To investigate the prevalence of abnormal glucose regulation (AGR) in patients with coronary artery dis-ease (CAD) in the department of cardiology of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital. Methods Sixty seven patients with CAD in the department of cardiology of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital were consecutively recruited from Jun 1, 2005 to Aug 31, 2005. Patients were asked to perform oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to characterize the glucose regulation status except for those with previously known diabetes mellitus (DM). Results Most of patients with CAD in the study had abnormal glucose regulation. The prevalence of AGR was 88.1%. The prevalence of DM and IGT were 56.7% and 31.3%, respectively. Without OGTT, 42.5% DM and 48% IGR and 85% AGR would remain undiagnosed by fasting plasma glucose (FPG) detection alone. Conclusion A majori-ty of patients with CAD in the study have AGR and OGTT is needed to promptly and accurately disclose these patients.

Objective To investigate the concentration of homocysteine (Hcy) and related factors of hyperhomocyste-inemia (hHcy,Hcy≥15μmol/L) among non-hypertensive people aged between 40-70 in Tianjin. Methods Non-hyperten-sive community residents aged 40-70 years were enrolled randomly from May 2011 to December 2012 in six districts in Tian-jin. Plasma Hcy was assessed by enzyme cycling method. Factors related to hHcy were analyzed in multivariate logistic re-gression models. Results Our study included 874 participants (mean age is 57 ± 6 years, 25.5%of all are males) and the con-centration of Hcy was 12.0 μmol/L. The OR (odds ratio)(95%CI; P)for hHcy were 1.048(1.015,1.083; P=0.004), 4.191 (2.359,7.448;P<0.001), 1.280(0.896,1.829;P=0.175), 0.460(0.259,0.816;P=0.008)respectively for age, male, smoking, exercise, and the odd ratio for hHcy were 0.290(0.179, 0.469;P<0.001), 0.168(0.092,0.309;P<0.001)for consumption of vegetable and fruits 250-500 g/d and>500g/d, compared with<250 g/d. Conclusion Male and age were adverse factors for hHcy, consumption of vegetable and fruits, and exercise were positive factors.

Objective To develop an oligonucleotide array to detect single nucleotide mutations in 23S rRNA gene.Methods Primers and probes targeting A2142G.A2143G and C2182T mutations in 23S rRNA gene were designed tp develop an oligonucleotide array.Samples were performed by an asymmetric PCR and the PCR products were hybridized with the specific DNA microarray chips.Non fluorescence-labeled PCR products were cloned into T vectors.The results of oligonucleofide array were confirmed by direct DNA sequencing and evaluated by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC).Results The results obtained from oligonucleotide microarray were identical to those of direct sequencing.In 54 Helicobacter pylori samples,oligonucleotide microarray indicated that no A-to-C transition at 2142 was found,and the mutant rate of A2143G was 11.11 % (6/54),the mutant rate of C2182T was 12.96% (7/54).A2143C,A2143T,C2182A and C2182G mutations were not found.The other specimens were wild-type.All the above results were the same as that of MIC tests.Conclusions The oligonucleofide microarray is a reliable and accurate genotyping assay for clarithromycin-resistance of Helieobaeter pylofi.It is high-throughput screening method for gastric mucosa and improve the application of strategy for personalized therapy.

Objective To explore the clinicopathological features, diagnosis and therapy for pancreatic mutinous noncystic adenocareinoma(MNAC). Methods Eleven MNAC cases treated in our hospital were studied retrospectively. The clinical and pathologic data were reviewed. Results Of the 11 patients, 6 were male and 5 were female. The age ranged from 47 to 76 years with average of 60. 5 years.The main complains included upper abdominal discomfort in 8 cases, abdominal mass in 1 case and jaundice in 2 cases. CA199 serum test was positive in all patients and 5-fold high above normal value in 6 cases. The preoperative radiography of MNAC was usually not specific. Tumors located in the head in 5 cases and in the body and tail of the pancreas in 6 cases. The diameter of the tumor was 4 - 11 cm with average of 6. 5 cm.All cases underwent operation, with radical resection in 2 cases. Liver or abdominal metastasis was found in 5 cases. Postoperative immunohistochemistry showed that MUC-1 was negative in all patients. MUC-2,PCNA and Ki-67 were positive in all patients. All 9 cases that were followed-up died within 5 -22 months,with an average survival time of 10 months. Conclusions The diagnosis of MNAC depends on pathology. Its prognosis is poor.

Objective To explore the characteristics of the flow velocity waveform of superior vena cana (SVC) in a rat model with chronic monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension by echocardiography.Methods The chronic pulmonary hypertension model was developed by monocrotaline solution (60 mg/kg) injection into the abdominal cavity in 32 SD rats.Eight rats with the placebo injected served as controls.An examination of the flow velocity waveform of SVC was performed by Doppler echocardiography via supraclavicular fossa before and 28-day after the injection.The pulmonary arterial systolic pressure was measured by pressure-guided micro-catheter 28-day after the injection both in the control and the pulmonary hypertension model group.Results Chronic monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension was successfully developed in 29 rats.The flow velocity waveform of SVC showed that the ratio of the maximum reverse peak flow velocity due to atrial contraction (VAR) to the maximum systolic peak flow velocity (Vs) and VAR increased dramatically 28-day after the monocrotaline solution injection in both sides of SVC (P ＜0.01), while only the Vs of the right SVC significantly decreased (P ＜0.05).Conclusions The changes of VAR/Vs ratio and VAR in rat model with chronic monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension suggested that the changes of flow velocity waveform of SVC have indicating features in reflecting pulmonary hypertension.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma. Methods Eight patients with intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma treated in our hospital were studied retrospectively. The clinical and pathological data were reviewed. Results Most of the patients had nonspecific symptoms and serum AFP level was normal. Uhrasonography and CT diagnosed correctly in 75% and 87.5% of all patients, respectively. All the 8 patients underwent resection and had no recurrence after operation except that 1 case of cystadenocarcinoma died of recurrence 3 years later. Conclusion The diagnosis of intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma depends on radiography and pathological examination. Surgery is recommended to get satisfactory results.

Aim To investigate the curative effect of rAAV-PR39-ADM,which co-expressed the gene of an-tibacterial peptide (PR39 ) and adrenomedullin (ADM),in a rat cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.Methods In vitro,Matrigel angiogenesis as-say was made with human umbilical vein endothelial cells.In vivo,the cerebral I/R model was established by the occlusion of the cerebral artery for 2h and then reperfused for 24 h.SD rats were randomly divided in-to sham group,I/R+normal saline group,I/R+null virus (AAV ) group, and IR +rAAV-PR39-ADM group.rAAV-PR39-ADM,saline and null virus were administered through the femoral vein after 24 h of the reperfusion in I/R group.MRI,neurological deficit score,TTC and HE staining were measured respective-ly 1 ,2,3 and 4 weeks after the injection in order to e-valuate the therapeutic efficacy.Results In vitro, rAAV-PR39-ADM group had significant angiogenic effect compared with sham group and null virus group. In vivo,successful I/R model was verified by the ima-ges of MRI.Compared with sham group,the nerve function defect score and the cerebral infarction size in each time nodes were significantly raised in I/R groups (P<0.01).There was no significant difference in in-farct size and nerve function defect score between I/R+normal saline group and I/R +null virus (AAV ) group,and obviously,the IR +rAAV-PR39-ADM group lowered these indexes compared with the other two groups.HE staining showed that the number of neurons,new capillaries vessels of I/R +PR39-ADM group were significantly more than those in group I/R and group I/R +null virus.Conclusion The treat-ment of rAAV-PR39-ADM promotes vascular forma-tion,neuron protection and reduces the infarct size in the model of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.

Objective To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of splenic harmatoma(SH). Methods The clincial data of three cases of SH treated in our hospital from January 1997 to December 2007 were collected,and the other 17 cases which were published from January 1997 to December 2007 in the Chinese biological and medical lit-erature database were reviewed. The clinical manifestation,pathological findings,diagnosis and treatment of these 20 patients were analyzed. Results The main symptoms were abdominal pain or discomfort and abdominal mass in 13 cases(13/20). All 20 patients underwent surgical treatment with good recovery without severe complications and re-currence. Conclusions The definite diagnosis of SH depends on postoperative pathological findings. Complete surgi-cal resection is the best treatment for SH with favourable prognosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the etiology and management of male urethral stricture at 8 medical centers in China during the period from 2004 to 2009 years,and to investigate whether there were any changes in etiology and management of urethral stricture with time change.MethodsThe database on 3455 male patients with urethral stricture who underwent treatment at 8 medical centers in China between January 2004 and December 2009 were prospectively collected.The databases were analyzed for possible cause of stricture and treatment techniques for urethral stricture,and for the changes in etiology and management with time change.ResultsThere were 3455 operations for urethral stricture during the study period.The main causes of urethral strictures were traumas in 1833 patients (53.05％),among which pelvic fractures were in 1327 (38.41％) and perineal trauma in 506 (14.65％).The second cause was iatrogenic causes in 1181 patients (34.18％ ),among which transurethral operations or examinations were in 602 (17.42％),hypospadias surgery in 291 (8.42％) and urethral catheterization in 164 (4.75％ ).Less common causes were urethritis in 201 patients (5.82％),lichen sclerosus in 149 (4.31％),undefined in 91 (2.63％).The treatments of urethral strictures were endourological surgery including internal urethrotomy and dilation and open urethroplasty including end-to-end urethroplasty and the substitude urethroplasty etc.The ratios of using various techniques in total number of patients were obviously different by time.The most application technique for treatment of urethral stricture was endourological surgery ( 709 ) during 2004 -2006 and occupied 52.67％ in total number of patients.It was gradually decreased during 2007 -2009 (726) and only occupied 34.42％ (P ＜0.01 ).Open urethroplasty gradually increased during 2007 -2009 ( 1243,58.94％ ) compared with the first three years (563,41.83％ ) (P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusions During the recent years there was an increase in the incidence of urethral stricture being trauma and iatrogenic causes.The main treatments of urethral strictures were endourological surgery and open urethroplasty.Endourological surgery was significantly decreased in total number of patients,while open urethroplasty were significantly increased during the late three years.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between micropapillary patten, cribriform pattern and retraction clefting of HPV associated endocervical adenocarcinoma and Silva classification and prognosis; and to validate the application and clinical significance of Silva system in endocervical adenocarcinoma.Methods:Cases of endocervical adenocarcinoma from January 2009 to November 2017 were selected from the Second Hospital of Jilin University and followed up. The morphologic characteristics of Silva classification, micropapillary patten, cribriform pattern and retraction clefting were observed and recorded. Inferential analysis was performed to compare clinicopathological variables data between pattern subgroups.Results:The study included 120 patients (ranging from 26 to 73 years) with an average age of (48.0±9.1)years. Silva A, B and C accounted for 9.2% (11/120), 18.3% (22/120) and 72.5% (87/120), respectively. Cases with micropapillary pattern accounted for 25.8%(31/120), of which six cases were Silva B and 25 cases were Silva C. Cases with cribriform pattern accounted for 53.3%(64/120), including three cases of Silva A, 17 cases of Silva B and 44 cases of Silva C. Retraction clefting occurred in 28.3%(34/120) cases, all were Silva C. The three morphologic features were associated with lymph node metastasis ( P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that micropapillary pattern was related to prognosis of endocervical carcinoma ( P<0.05), while cribriform pattern, retraction clefting and Silva classification showed no correlation with overall survival and disease-free survival. Conclusions:The suggestion is revising the Silva C criteria by adding papillary patten and retraction clefting as factors and expanding the Silva pattern system to include more histologic variants. The Silva system is helpful to select appropriate operation before surgery, but its prognostic value requires further evaluation.
