Objective:To investigate the role of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B(PTP-1B) in pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Methods: Thirty-four patients were divided into 3 groups: type 2 diabetes with normal BMI group(CDM), obese type 2 diabetes group (ODM) and control group. Fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin and body mass were determined. Expression of PTP-1B in adipose tissues were determined by Western blot. Results: Compared with control group, CDM and ODM groups had insulin resistance, though there was no significant difference between CDM and ODM groups. Expression of PTP-1B in control, CDM and ODM groups were 3.39?0.94,11.57?1.89 and 36.53?14.82, respectively. After controling for age and sex, expression of PTP-1B was positively related with BMI(r=0.67, P

Objective To compare the efficacy of alfentanil and remifentanil in minimizing the propofol injection pain. Methods A total of 175 adult female patients undergoing gynecological procedures with general anesthesia were randomly divided into four groups.Patients received alfentanil 1mg(2 mL,AL group,n=43),remifentanil 0.01 mg(2 mL,REM1 group,n=43),remifentanil 0.02 mg(2 mL,REM2 group,n=45) or normal saline(2 mL,control group,n=44) 30 seconds prior to propofol administration.Visual analogue scale(VAS) was employed to evaluate the subjective feelings of pain due to propofol injection,and adverse effects were recorded. Results One patient in REM2 group and one patient in control group were excluded due to difficulty in venous catheterization.The injection pain in AL group,REM1 group and REM2 group was significantly less severe than that in control group(P

In April 10, 2010, an earthquake measuring magnitude 7.1 shocked Yushu County,Qinghai province. For medical rescue, the National Earthquake Disaster Emergency Rescue Team was sent to Yushu right away. Rescue work in Yushu was faced with such difficulties as short preparative time, heavy workload, high exposure to various acute high altitude diseases (AHAD), and a number of other diseases frequently found on the cold plateau. To ensure the rescue work a success, the team took a series of measures including efficient preparative procedure, scientific and logical procedure in the emergency medical aid operations, reliable and effective handling of AHADs, along with sufficient self protection for team members.

ObjectiveTo investigate the application of dexmedetomidine attenuating hemodynamic fluctuation in patients with cerebral aneurysm during anesthesia induction.Methods Sixty patients undergoing elective interventional procedure with cerebral aneurysm were divided into low dose of fentanyl group (group LF),high dose of fentanyl group (group HF),and low dose of fentanyl and dexmedetomidine combination group(group FD) by random digits table method with 20 cases each.Before induction of anesthesia,the patients in group FD received dexmedetomidine 1 μ g/kg for 10 minutes,and the others received 0.9％ sodium chloride with the same volume.During anesthesia induction,fentanyl 3 μ g/kg in group LF and group FD,and fentanyl 5 μ g/kg in group HF.Other anesthetics were equalized.Systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) were monitored and recorded at 3 min utes after lying on table (T0),before intubation (T1),immediately and 3 minutes after intubation (T2,T3).The differences between the maximum and the minimum of SBP,DBP and HR were calculated in these time points as fluctuation values,named as △SBP,△DBP and △HR.Results△SBP,△DBP and △HR in group FD [ (26.9 ± 14.8) mm Hg( 1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa),(10.7 ± 8.9) mm Hg,(12.5 ± 4.3 ) times/min ]were lower than those in group LF [ (40.4 ± 15.6) mm Hg,(20.3 ± 9.4) mm Hg,(30.1 ± 15.0) times/min ](P ＜ 0.05 ),as well as △SBP and △HR in group HF [ (29.8 ± 16.8 ) mm Hg,( 19.5 ± 7.4) times/min ]were lower than those in group LF(P ＜ 0.05).While △HR in group FD was lower than that in group HF (P ＜0.05).The usage of atropin in three group had no statistical significance during anesthesia induction (P =0.364),but more ephedrine was used in group HF than in group LF [30％(6/20) vs.5％(1/20),P=0.032 ].Conclusion Dexmedetomidine 1μ g/kg injected before anesthesia induction,which could prevent intubation reaction,blood pressure serious falling after intubation,and provide more stable hemodynamics,is particularly applicable for anesthesia induction in patients with cerebral aneurysm.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of intestinal microbiota in neonates on the first and third day after birth.Methods A total of 50 healthy singleton neonates who were born between June 15,2016 and August 3,2016 in Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital were enrolled.Their stool samples were collected on the first and third day after birth and the samples were labeled according to the time of collection (D1 and D3 groups,n=50 each).Illumina NexSeq high-throughput sequencing platform was used to sequence the variable region 4 and 5 of all bacterial 16S rRNA genes in the samples.The composition of intestinal microbial communities was determined and the differences between the two groups were compared by Metastats analysis.Results (1) A total of 100 stool samples were sequenced and the retrieved sequences were from 25 bacterial phyla,119 families,227 genera and 159 species.(2) Major phyla in the two groups were the same,namely,Proteobacteria,Frimicutes,Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria.The relative abundances of Frimicutes (0.27 ± 0.03 vs 0.41 ± 0.05) and Bacteroidetes (0.07 ± 0.01 vs 0.09 ± 0.03) increased over time,while that of Actinobacteria (0.10±0.01 vs 0.01 ±0.00) decreased on day 3.No significant difference in the relative abundance of Proteobacteria (0.51 ±0.03 vs 0.49± 0.05) was observed between D1 and D3 groups.There were significant difference in relative abundances of Frimicutes and Actinobacteria between the two groups (both q=-0.01,both P＜0.05).(3) Among the top ten most abundant families,Enterobacteriaceae,Staphylococcaceae,Enterococcaceae,Streptococcaceae and Lachnospiraceae were detected in both of the two groups.The relative abundances of Enterobacteriaceae (0.25 ± 0.02 vs 0.46 ± 0.06),Staphylococcaceae (0.07 ± 0.02 vs 0.12 ± 0.03),Enterococcaceae (0.04±0.02 vs 0.10±0.04),Streptococcaceae (0.03 ±0.02 vs 0.06±0.01) increased over time,while that of Lachnospiraceae (0.03 ± 0.01 vs 0.02 ± 0.02) decreased on day 3.Only the relative abundance of Enterobacteriaceae had statistical difference between the two groups (q=0.00,P＜0.05).(4) Among the top ten most abundant genera,Staphylococcus,Enterococcus,Streptococcus,Bacteroides and Pseudomonas were detected in both groups.The relative abundances of aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria which belonged to genera of Stenotrophomonas,Propionibacterium,Acinetobacter,Bacillus,Sphingomonas and so on decreased on day 3 as compared with those on day 1 (0.00±0.00 vs 0.07±0.02,0.00±0.00 vs 0.06±0.01,0.00±0.00 vs 0.03±0.01,0.00±0.00 vs 0.02±0.01,0.00±0.00 vs 0.02±0.00,all q=0.00,all P＜0.05).However,the relative abundances of anaerobic bacteria which belonged to Bacteroides,Veillonella,Parabacteroides and so on increased on day 3 (0.01 ±0.00 vs 0.08±0.03,0.00±0.00 vs 0.03±0.02,0.00±0.00 vs 0.01 ±0.00,q=0.01,0.01 and 0.00,all P＜0.05).(5) The most abundant species in intestinal microbiota was escherichia coli in both groups.Three less abundant species including lactobacillus gasseri,lactobacillus animalis and bifidobacterium bifidum were detected in both groups.(6) Regardless of the mode of delivery,Staphylococcus,was the highest predominant genera in meconium samples,followed by stenotrophomonas.Stool samples collected on the third day after birth were divided into four groups based on deliver modes and feeding patterns.Neonates who were born abdominally with exclusive breastfed thereafter were different from those of the other three groups in predominant intestinal bacteria,but the difference was not statistically significant.Bifidobacterium and Subdoligranulum were only detected in the vaginally born neonates.Conclusions Meconium is not sterile.Although the intestinal microbiota on the first day of life is different from that on the third day of life,the dominant bacteria are common.During the first three days of life,the relative abundances of aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria decreased significantly over time,while the relative abundance of anaerobic bacteria increased.

Objective To summarize the surgical experience in robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy,and to investigate the efficacy and safety of this surgery.Methods The clinical data of 12 patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in Changhai Hospital from March to July in 2012 were analyzed.All the patients were male and the age range was 43-66 years.In 4 cases the tumors were in the left kidney,and 8 in the right.In 7 cases the tumors were in the dorsal part of the kidney,and 2 in the ventral part.There were 3,5 and 4 cases in the upper,middle and lower pole of the kidney respectively.Preoperative GFR test was normal in all cases.Kidney CT scan showed the maximum diameters of the tumors were 2.0-5.8 cm,with an average of 3.3 cm.The pre-operative stages in all cases were T1N0M0.Results The surgery was successfully completed in all cases.The mean duration of the surgery was 160-310 min,with an average of 242 min.The blood loss was 30-300 ml,with an average of 135 ml,and the intraoperative blood transfusion was unnecessary.The warm ischemia time was 20-49 min,with an average of 31 min.There was no intraoperative morbidity,and no conversion to open surgery.The postoperative length of hospitalization was 9-31 d,with an average of 14 d.Gross hematuria arose in 1 patient at 1 week after the surgery.The post-operative pathology showed renal clear cell carcinoma with Furhman Grade Ⅱ in 11 cases,and renal angiomyolipoma in 1 case.The maximum diameters of the tumors were 2.0-5.0 cm,with an average of 3.5 cm.The tumor resection margin was negative in all cases.Conclusions Robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is safe and effective for local renal tumors.This surgery has significant advantage over traditional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy,in terms of the resection of the renal tumors and the reconstruction of the kidney.

AIMTo learn the condition of the memory and the visual space of the patient who has suffered from the infarction in basal ganglia region, and to analyze its impact on and the characteristics of the patients' cognition.

METHODSBy testing respectively on 21 subjects who were initially infarcted in basal ganglia with single focus on one side, and 21 healthy volunteers with corresponding age, gender and educational background with Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Scale (Rey), Clinical Memory Scale (CMS), Hospital Anxiety-Depression Scale (HAD), National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Oxford Handicap Scale (OHS), Barthel Index (BI), and Aural Event Related Evoked Potential (AERP) as well.

RESULTSCompared with the control group, the patient group got higher scores of anxiety and depression in HAD), which showed absolutely statistical significance; they demonstrated longer reaction time in AERP, which also showed statistical significance; and in CMS. they displayed inferior performance in the free picture recall and the memory quotient (MQ), which again had statistical significance. However, compared with the control group, the patient group got scores with no significance in copy, immediate recall and delayed recall in Rey.

CONCLUSIONThe infarction in basal ganglia region with single focus on one side may impact on the patient's executive function, memory function and emotion. But no impact is showed on patient's visual space function.
