Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of Linagliptin in combination with Metformin in newly diagnosed T2DM patients. Methods A total of 140 newly diagnosed T2DM patients were enrolled in this study. All the patients were admitted in the Endocrinology and Metabolism department of our hospital from January 2013 to October 2013. Random number table method was used in patients’ selection. All the patients were divided into two groups :Linagliptin plus Metformin group (Linagliptin group ,n=70) and Glipizide plus Metformin group (Glipizide group ,n=70) ,and followed up for 12 weeks. Efficacy and safety of treatment were compared between the two groups. Results The difference of FPG ,2 hPG and HbA1 c did not reach the statistical significance between the two groups at baseline treatment (P>0.05). FPG ,2 hPG and HbA1 c were significantly lower after treatment compared with baseline in both groups (P<0.05). FC-P ,2 hC-P ,HOMA-β,HOMA-IR ,IAI and adiponectin level at baseline were similar between the two groups ( P> 0.05 ). All these indicators were improved after treatment in both groups (P< 0.05) ,and were significant better in Linagliptin group than in Glipizide group. Adverse events rate were significantly higher in Glipizide group than in Linagliptin group (18.57%vs 5.71% ,χ2 = 5.423 ,P= 0.020 ). Conclusion The efficacy of Linagliptin in combination with Metformin in newly diagnosed T2DM patients was similar with Glipizide plus Metformin. The β cell function improvement was better and APN level was higher after Linagliptin treatment.

A 56-year-old female patient of Han nationality presented with generalized erythema and vesicles for 6 days,as well as high fever for 2 days.Twenty days prior to hospitalization,the patient received surgical treatment combined with oral methazolamide and glucocorticoids for glaucoma.The patient had a history of allergy to sulfanilamides.On admission,the patient presented with generalized erythema,vesicles and occasional erosions with bilateral eyelid and oral involvement.Nikolsky's sign was positive.Wheezing sound was heard over the right lung.Genetic testing showed that HLA-B5901 allele was positive.The patient was diagnosed with methazolamide-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) complicated by pneumonia,and managed with immunoglobulin (25 g/day,5 days),glucocorticoids (the largest dose equivalent to methylprednisolone 160 mg/day),fresh plasma,antibiotics,as well as other supporting and symptomatic treatments.The condition was controlled after 2 weeks,and the patient was cured and discharged from hospital after 25 days.The fact that the patient carried HLA-B5901 allele suggests that HLA-B5901 is strongly correlated with methazolamide-induced TEN or Stevens-Johnson syndrome in Chinese descendants or Han population,besides in Japanese and Korean descendants.

BACKGROUND:Current cardiac bioprostheses and mechanical valves are shown to have some flaws and shortcomings, and tissue-engineered heart valves which can avoid these problems are becoming an ideal choice for valve replacement.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the experimental progress in the construction of tissue-engineered heart valves.
METHODS:Experimental studies related to tissue-engineered heart valves were retrieved in databases. Three main elements for tissue-engineered heart valves are seed cells, scaffold materials, and cellseeding.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Cardiac valve repair and replacement is the primarily surgical treatment for valvular heart disease. At present, seed cells mainly for construction of tissue-engineered heart valves include vascular endothelial cells, endothelial progenitor cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The acellular scaffold has good biomechanical properties and histocompatibility. After cellseeding, a continuous celllayer wil form on the scaffold surface, which makes it possible to construct tissue-engineered heart valves. Tissue-engineered heart valve has a good prospect, but it is stil in the early stage of research and there are stil many problems that need to be solved.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography(TEE) in assessment of left atrial appendage(LAA) function. Methods Forty-two atrial fibrillation patients underwent real-time three-dimensional TEE. LAA ejection fraction based on two-dimensional area measurements(EFA-2D), three-dimensional area measurements(EFA-3D) and three-dimensional volume measurements(EFv-3D) were calculated and related to LAA peak empty velocity (PEV). The variability within observer and interobserver were tested. Results EFA-2D was significantly higher than EFA-3D[(62.84 ± 17.27)% vs (45.39 ± 16.58)%, P = 0.000] and EFv-3D [( 62.84 ±17.27) % vs (48.35 ± 19.37) %, P = 0.001 ], whereas EFA-3D and EFv-3D had no significant difference ( P = 0.158). In a simple linear correlation,the degree of association between EFv-3D and PEV was higher as between EFA-3D and PEV ( r = 0.662 vs 0.604,both P ＜0.05). No significant correlation was observed between EFA-2D and PEV ( r = 0.529, P = 0.130). Variabilities within observer and interobserver were no significant differences by the three methods( P ＞0.05). Conclusions LAA ejection fraction calculation by real-time three-dimensional TEE is feasible and more accurate than by 2D TEE.
