Objective To observe whether high-level insulin increases serum uric acid level and rosiglitazone improves hyperuricemia, and to explore the mechanism. Methods OLETF rats with spontaneous type 2 diabetes complicated with metabolic syndrome and normal control LETO rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=20 each). The animals were fed with standard chow diet in control group, high-purine diet and adenine administered intragastrically in experimental group, and rosiglitazone in interventional group. Body weight, serum levels of uric acid, insulin, triglyceride ( TG ) , and total cholesterol ( TC ) were measured after 3 weeks. Urate transporter 1 ( URAT1 ) and uric acid transporter (UAT) mRNA expressions in renal cortex were examined. HK-2 cells were incubated with various concentrations of insulin for 24 hours. UAT mRNA expression in HK-2 cells was examined. Results ( 1 ) In control group, the insulin level of OLETF rats was significantly higher than that of LETO rats ( P<0. 05 ), and there was no significant difference in serum uric acid level between OLETF and LETO rats. (2)In experimental groups, the insulin level in OLETF rats was significantly higher than that in LETO rats [(61.83±12.13 vs 36.73±12.73 )μIU/ml ,P<0. 05], and the incidence of hyperuricemia (76.92% vs 36.13%,P<0.01 ) and serum uric acid level[( 327.75 ±45.73 vs 264.40±36.32 ) μmol/L, P<0. 01]in OLETF rats were significantly higher than those in LETO rats. (3) Insulin[(41.3± 10.2 vs 61.8±12. 1 )μIU/ml,P<0. 05]and uric acid[( 198.0±45.4 vs 236.9±29.30 ) μmol/L, P<0. 05]levels in OLETF rats in interventional group were significantly lower than those of OLETF rats in experimental group, meanwhile the amount of urinary uric acid excretion was significantly increased[(5 644±371 vs 4 692±278 ) μ mol/L, P<0. 05]. (4) There was no significant difference in insulin level and the expressions of URAT1 and UAT mRNA in renal cortex between OLETF rats in control group and experimental group. URAT1 mRNA expression of OLETF rats in interventional group was significantly decreased, while UAT mRNA expression was significantly increased. (5)With the increase of insulinconcentration in culture medium, the expression of UAT mRNA expression in HK-2 cells was gradually decreased. Conclusions Rosiglitazone may alleviate hyperinsulinemia-induced hyperuricemia via regulating UAT and URAT1 mRNA expression.

OBJECTIVETo introduce and evaluate the technical feasibility and anatomical and functional outcomes of one-stage vaginoplasty with autologous buccal micromucosa combined with acellular allogenic dermis.
METHODSWe retrospectively reviewed our experiences with 17 patients with Mayer- Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome treated with primary surgery from September 2010 to April 2013. All patients underwent vaginoplasty with autologous buccal micromucosa combined with acellular allogenic dermis. We describe the details of this technique, observe the time of epithelization and evaluate the long- term anatomical, functional, and sexual outcomes.
RESULTSThe time of epithelization was 13 d (range: 12-15 d). At a mean follow-up of 15 months (range: 12-24 months), the mean postoperative dependence on the vaginal stent was 11.7 ± 1.64 months (range: 9-15 months), the mean depth of the neovagina was (9.0 ± 0.94) cm (range: 7-11 cm), the mean circumference was (12.3 ± 1.36) cm (range: 10.0-14.5 cm) and the mean volume was (105 ± 10) ml (range 85-120 ml). The mean female sexual function index score of the 12 sexually active patients was 29.5 ± 2.6. No spouse reported discomfort during intercourse.
CONCLUSIONSVaginoplasty with autologous buccal micromucosa combined with acellular allogenic dermis is an effective and feasible approach for patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome. The procedure has satisfactory long-term anatomical and functional results. The use of the acellular allogenic dermis is limited by the high price and the potential infection.

Objective To investigate implementing approach and clinical effect of 4-dimensional innovative model basing on JCI standards on health education to elderly patients with CHD.Methods Following JCI standards, a 4-dimensional model was innovated, regarding 4 aspects of health education for elderly patients with CHD:concept, platform, transmission system and technological application. Totals of 120 elderly patients with CHD were divided randomly into observation group and control group. For the patients in the observation group, health education was conducted according to the 4-dimentional innovative model, while in the control group, routine health education approach for CHD was used, which was to hand out health pamphlets explaining knowledge concerning diet, drug, exercise, follow-up visit, etc. After 5 days of intervention, CHD organism functional status and quality of life of the CHD patients in the two groups were evaluated and compared. Indexes, such as self-management skills, were compared 6 months after discharge. Results In SAQ scoring, there were significant differences between observation group and control group regarding limitation degree of motion, attacking condition of angina or stable condition of angina, scores of satisfaction on treatment and awareness of the disease ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusions Conducting health education to elderly patients with CHD with the 4-dimensional innovative model basing on JCI standards plays a significant role in promoting guarantee of medical safety, prevention of harmful cardiac incidents, and enhancement of treatment compliance, patients′ self-management abilities and patients′satisfaction.
