1.Research progress in cognitive impairment in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2014;30(10):879-881
Diabetes could damage the peripheral and central nervous system,and was the risk factor of cognitive impairment in the elderly.The pathogenesis of cognitive dysfunction caused by diabetes was complex.At present,hyperinsulinemia and/or insulin deficiency,glycemic control,glycation end-products,inflammatorv mediators,hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysfunction,blood-brain barrier dysfunction and other factors were considered to be the major causes of cognitive impairment in elderly patients with diabetes.Good metabolic control may help prevent its occurrence and/or progression.
2.Effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride combined with mechanical ventilation on inflammation in rats with acute respiratory distress syndrome induced by hydrochloric acid inhalation
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine in Intensive and Critical Care 2014;(1):50-54
Objective To observe the effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHCD) combined with mechanical ventilation on inflammatory response in rats with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)induced by hydrochloric acid(HCl)inhalation. Methods 32 adult healthy male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham operation group,ARDS model group,PHCD group(intraperitoneal injection of 0.5 mg/kg PHCD at 30 minutes before HCl instillation)and mechanical ventilation group〔mechanical ventilation was given after PHCD treatment,ventilator settings were as follows:tidal volume(VT)=4 mL/kg,respiratory rate(RR)= 70 beats/min,the time ratio of inspiration to expiration(I:E)=1:2,fraction of inspired oxygen concentration(FiO2)=0.21〕,8 rats in each group. The rat ARDS model was created by HCl(0.1 mol/L,1.2 mL/kg) intratracheal instillation. After mechanical ventilation for 4 hours,the experiment was stopped. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2)was measured,and the oxygenation index as well as lung wet/dry weight ratio(W/D)were calculated respectively. The pathological changes in lung tissues were observed under light microscope,and the pathological score was evaluated. The levels of myeloperoxidase(MPO),interlukin-8(IL-8)and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)in homogenate of lung tissues were all measured respectively by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results In rats of ARDS model group, there were significant infiltration of inflammatory cells, collapse of extensive pulmonary alveoli and hyaline membrane formation in lung tissues,but the edema in pulmonary mesenchymal tissue and congestion of micro vessels were not obvious. Compared with sham operation group,the lung tissue pathological score(9.88±2.03 vs. 1.38±0.92),lung W/D ratio(7.67±0.96 vs. 4.08±0.65)were significantly increased(both P<0.01),while oxygenation index〔mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa):213±29 vs. 428±28〕was markedly decreased in model group(P<0.01);and the concentrations of MPO(μg/L:34.18±3.99 vs. 20.92±1.40), IL-8(ng/L:864±53 vs. 583±91)and NF-κB(ng/L:1 229±133 vs. 803±130)in homogenate of lung tissues were significantly higher in model group(all P<0.01). The pathological changes in lung tissues including inflammatory cell infiltration,collapse of alveoli and pulmonary edema,etc. were obviously improved when treated by PHCD or mechanical ventilation and the lung pathological score and W/D ratio were significantly decreased compared with those of model group,oxygenation index in these two groups were both significantly increased,meanwhile, the concentrations of MPO,IL-8 and NF-κB were sharply decreased when compared with those of model group (all P<0.05). The degree of improvement in all above indexes were greater in mechanical ventilation group than those in PHCD group(lung injury score:5.63±1.85 vs. 7.63±1.67,lung W/D ratio:5.35±1.05 vs. 6.46±1.17, oxygenation index:325±57 vs. 272±44,MPO:25.80±3.36 vs. 29.88±3.93,IL-8:736±53 vs. 802±53, NF-κB:984±75 vs. 1 109±118,all P<0.05),however they did not reach the levels of the sham operation group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion PHCD can inhibit the inflammatory response in ARDS rats induced by HCl inhalation,thus it may protect the lung tissue from injury induced by HCl,and the protective role of PHCD plus menchanical ventilation is superior to that of PHCD only.

Chinese Journal of Digestive Endoscopy 2017;34(1):24-29
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of blue laser imaging( BLI) combined with magnifying endoscopy for precancerous lesions and early gastric cancers. Methods From September 2015 to May 2016, a total of 249 gastric lesions detected with conventional white light endoscopy ( WLE) on the basis of the assessment of mucosal shape and color were enrolled in this study. The pathological results were used as golden standard,and diagnostic accuracy rates of precancerous lesions or early cancers by white light magnification alone,BLI?contrast magnification and BLI?bright magnifier were determined according to the VS criteria. The concordance between endoscopic diagnosis and pathological diagnosis was evaluated through the agreement ( Kappa ) test, and diagnostic value was compared with McNemar paired Chi?square test. Results Pathological examination showed chronic gastritis in 149 lesions, intestinal metaplasia in 67, low grade intra?epithelial neoplasia in 8, and high grade intra?epithelial neoplasia or early cancer in 25. The concordance rates of lesions were 76?7% for white light magnification alone, 85?1% for BLI?contrast magnification, and 86?7% for BLI?bright magnification. Kappa values were 0?571, 0?730, and 0?760 respectively. For the screening of high grade intra?epithelial neoplasia or early cancer, the diagnostic sensitivities were 72?0%, 92?0%, and 92?0%, respectively, the specificities were 95?5%, 98?2%, and 99?1%,the consistencies were 93?2%,97?6%,98?4%,and the Kappa values were 0?642,0?871,and 0?911. In contrast to white light magnification alone,the concordance between endoscopic diagnosis and pathological diagnosis of BLI?contrast magnification and BLI?bright magnification was significantly higher(P<0?05).And in the diagnosis of high?grade intraepithelial neoplasia or early gastric cancer,the concordance between endoscopic diagnosis and pathological diagnosis of BLI?contrast magnification and BLI?bright magnification was higher than that of white light magnification alone( P<0?05) . Conclusion BLI combined with magnifying endoscopy may improve the diagnostic accuracy of early gastric cancer and precancerous lesions.
