Objective To investigate the efficacy of the combination ofJiangtang decoction and insulin in the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus in children.Methods A total of 43 children with type 1 diabetes mellitus were enrolled and randomly allocated to either a insulin group (control group) and a insulin plusJiangtang decoction group (treatment group) using the table of random digits, with 23 patients in the control group and 20 in the treatment group. The patients in the control group were treated with insulin, and those in the treatment group were administrated withJiangtangdecoction on the basis of the treatment in the control group for 2 months. Body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), postprandial blood glucose (PBG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were measured.Results The levels of FPG, PBG and HbA1c were significantly decreased in the treatment group (twere 3.376, 54.493, and 2.798, respectively; allP<0.01), and the PBG level was significantly decreased in the control group (t=29.714,P=0.000). The levels of FPG, PBG and HbA1c in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (twere 2.715, 2.191 and 5.627, respectively;P<0.05 orP<0.01). There was no difference in BMI between the treatment group and the control group (t=0.159,P=0.874). The proportion of patients with HbA1c <7.5% in the treatment group (60.0%, 12/20) was higher than that in the control group (26.1%, 6/23;χ2=5.055,P=0.025).Conclusion Combination ofJiangtang decoction and insulin can decrease the level of FPG, PBG and HbAlc, and its therapeutic effect is superior to insulin alone for type 1 diabetes in children.

Objective To investigate regional ventricular long-axis velocity and adjacent intraventricular flow velocity using dual-pulse wave(PW) Doppler echocardiography synchronously,and to analyze the coupling relationship between regional ventricular long-axis strain and adjacent intraventricular pressure gradients in normal cases using dual-PW Doppler echocardiography.Methods Eighty-six normal subjects aged 19~66 years [mean age (37.49 ± 11.97)years] underwent routine echocardiography and dualPW Doppler echocardiographic exam.Total 18 segments were sampled using dual-PW Doppler (PW/TDI mode) images at basal,mid and apical levels on three standard apical views,and electrocardiogram was recorded simultaneously.Peak early diastolic velocity (emax),peak late diastolic velocity (amax),peak early mitral diastolic inflow velocity (Emax),regional peak early diastolic velocity (Em),regional peak late diastolic velocity (Am) and regional peak early diastolic inflow velocity (E) were measured simultaneously in the same one cardiac cycle.Myocardial variations of left ventricular segments were observed.Em,Am and E of different levels from different ventricular wall were analyzed.The co-relationship between regional ventricular long-axis strain and adjacent intraventricular pressure gradients were calculated and analyzed.Results ①Regional myocardial velocity and regional peak early diastolic inflow velocity in normal subjects declined from basal to apical segments gradually at the same ventricular wall (P < 0.01).② Emax was correlated with emax(r =0.418,P <0.001),and E was correlated with Em (posterior septum,r =0.610,P <0.001 ;anterior wall,r =0.499,P <0.001).③There was a medium correlation between normal longaxis strain in segments and adjacent intraventricular pressure gradients (the global,r =0.412,P <0.001 ;posterior septum,r =0.319,P <0.005).Conclusions The acquirement of E and Em by dual-PW Doppler showed downtrend of segmental wall movement and regional blood flow from basal segment to apex.Emax is correlated with e E is correlated with Em,and long-axis strain at segments is correlated with adjacent intraventricular pressure gradients partly.Dual-PW Doppler might provide a potential method for the more precise evaluation of left ventricular fluid-solid coupling during diastole.

With the wide application of contrast media in modem medicine,contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) has attracted more clinical attention.Renal ischemia and renal tubular toxicity have been considered to be the pathogenesis of CIN.The most promising biomarkers,except for serum creatinine,include neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL),cystatin C (Cys C),kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1),urine N-acetyl beta-D amino glucosidase (NAG) and micro molecular RNA (microRNA).Before use of contrast media for angiography,both the patient's own risk factors and the contrast-associated risk factors should be carefully evaluated.The patient's own risk factors include basic renal function,diabetes,anemia,homocysteine,etc.The contrast-associated risk factors include the osmotic pressure,viscosity,dosage,application frequency of the used contrast agent,etc.At present,hydration therapy is still the main method for CIN,and other therapeutic methods include medication,such as statins,vasodilators,antioxidants,traditional Chinese medicine,etc.,and blood purification therapy.This paper aims to make a brief summary about the research progress in CIN,focusing on its diagnosis,pathogenesis,risk factors and preventive measures.
