Aim To investigate the protective effects of polysaccharides from the rhizomorph of Armillaria mella(AMP-1) on alloxan injured INS-1 cells.Methods Graded concentrations of AMP-1(2,10,50,100,500,1 000 mg?L-1) were added into the culture medium of alloxan injured INS-1 cells.The survival rate was measured by MTT assay.The amount of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in different concentrations of AMP-1 was determined by radioimmunoassay(RIA).SOD and NOS activity,NO,MDA and GSH production were assayed colorimetrically.Results AMP-1 could reduce oxidative injuries induced by alloxan in INS-1 cells.The survival rate of cells treated with AMP-1 increased significantly.In the presence of 5.6 mmol?L-1 or 16.7 mmol?L-1 glucose,AMP-1(50,100,500,1 000 mg?L-1)increased glucose-induced insulin secretion in INS-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner.NOS levels and the production of NO and MDA decreased significantly by AMP-1,while SOD levels and the production of GSH increased.Conclusions AMP-1 promoted glucose-induced insulin secretion in INS-1 cells by increasing the abilities of scavenging the free radicals induced by alloxan.

Objective To investigate the application of hypocaloric parenteral nutrition in postoperarive elderly patients with gastric cancer. Methods 59 elderly patients aged 60- 79 years with gastric cancer after operation were randomly assigned to receive 84 kJ · kg -1.d -1 hypocaloric parenteral nutrition (29 cases) and 126 kJ · kg-1 · d -1 standard-calorie parenteral nutrition (30cases),totally 6 d from postoperative 2 d. Complications, serum proteins, immune function,inflammation,blood glucose, liver function and recovery time of gastrointestinal function were observed during nutritional support. Results The postoperative complication rate were 37.9%(11/29) in hypocalorie group and 43.3 % (13/30) in standard calorie group ( P>0.05),mainly pulmonary infection.There were no ditferences in levels of serum albumin,total protein and prealbumin between two groups at postoperative 3 d and 6 d (P>0.05).Peripheral blood lymphocytes and T lymphocyte subsets CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8- ratio were decreased after sugery,but CD8 1 values increased in two groups (P>0.05).C reactive protein was increased significantly at postoperative 3 d compared with preoperation,and decreased at 6d than 3 d (P>0.05).Blood glucose was decreased gradually at 3 and 6 d (P>0.05).Postoperative liver function paraneters were elevated,no difference was found at 3 d (P>0.05),and continued to rise at 6 d in standard calorie group than in hypocalorie group (P<0.05). There was no difference in times of aerofluxus and cacation after operation between hypocalorie and standard calorie groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Hypocaloric parenteral nutrition is a safe and effective method for nutrition support in postoperative elderly patients with gastric cancer.

Objective To study imageology anatomy concerned of sellar turica and explore its potential role on growth of pituitary adenomas. Methods According to classification of sinus sphenoidalis,103 normal imageology data of sellar turica region were analyzed, including 83 cases with entire saddle type sinus sphenoidalis and 20 cases anti-saddle type sinus sphenoidalis. Furthermore, the clinical data of 45 cases of pituitary adenomas with extension into sinus sphenoidalis were retrospectively studied. Results The relationship between sellar floor's shapes and sinus sphenoidals'types was that the larger the sinus sphenoidalis was, the deeper the floor was(98.8%). The relationship between sellar floor's shapes and the superior surface of hypophysis was that most of depressed sellar floors were companied with depressed superior surfaces of hypophysises(93.8%). The anteroposterior shapes of sellar turica in midsagittal can be divided into 4 types such as bag-type, kettle-type, tube-type, and sifter-type. 45 patients suffering from pituitary adenoms with extension into sinus sphenoidalis all had entire saddle type sinus sphenoidalis. Conclusions The imageology anatomy concerned of sellar turica could explain the phenomena of pituitary adenomas with extension toward sellar floor and sinus sphenoidalis. Referring to the literatures concerned, it indicated that the imageology anatomy was the key factor of affecting the growth of pituitary adenomas.

Objective:To explore the prognostic factors of patients with Vibrio vulnificus sepsis. Methods:The clinical data of 67 patients with Vibrio vulnificus sepsis from January 2008 to December 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate analysis was used to compare the differences in general information, clinical manifestations, admission laboratory indicators, antibiotics and surgery between the death group and the cured group. Then the factors with significant difference in univariate analysis were included in multivariate analysis, and the factors of prognosis were obtained. Results:Univariate analysis showed that there were significant difference in liver disease, admission with hypotension shock, multiple limb injuries; admission leukocytes, platelets, pH value, albumin, lactic acid, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, procalcitonin, creatine kinase, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time between the death group and the cured group (all P <0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that admission lactate ( OR=0.628, 95% CI: 0.461-0.855, P=0.003), albumin ( OR=1.330, 95% CI:1.062-1.667, P=0.013), creatine kinase ( OR=0.999, 95% CI: 0.998-1.000, P=0.016) and admission surgery time ( OR=0.118, 95% CI: 0.015-0.938, P=0.043) were risk factors of the prognosis. Patients with high lactate, creatine kinase and low albumin at admission indicate poor prognosis; patients with admission surgery time≤ 12 h have better prognosis. Conclusion:For the treatment of patients with Vibrio vulnificus sepsis, medical staff should dynamically evaluate these prognostic factors in the early stage, and early surgical treatment should be adopted to improve the prognosis of patients.
