Isolated freshly rat islets were transferred to 24-well plates and incubated with different concentrations of glucose or resveratrol for 1 or 24 h.The results showed that resveratrol dose-dependently inhibited glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from isolated rat islets after 1 h incubation,with 10%,35%,and 80% (P<0.05 or P<0.01) decrease at the concentrations of 1,I0,and 100 μmol/L.10 μmol/L resveratrol decreased the intracellular calcium concentration by 60% (P<0.05).After incubation for 24 h,resveratrol increased palmitatesuppressed insulin secretion to 75% (P<0.01) of control.These results suggest that resveratrol acutely inhibits insulin secretion from primary pancreatic islet via regulating intracellular calcium ion concentration,and in the long run resveratrol may protect β-cells from lipotoxicity.

A total of 127 type 2 diabetic patients were divided into low glycemic index meal replacements (intervention) group and standard food-based diet (reference) group in an experiment for 12 weeks.The results showed that fasting plasma glucose,postprandial 2 h plasma glucose,fasting insulin,and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance(HOMA-IR) in the intervention group decreased significantly after 12 weeks trial ( P<0.05 or P<0.01 ).However,there were no significant changes in lipid profile and HbA1C in intervention group.In addition,percentage of body fatty,visceral fatty area,and waist-hip ratio also decreased in intervention group( all P<0.01 ).Superoxide dismutase and glutathione levels increased significantly in intervention group by the end of trial (both P<0.01 ),while malondialdehyde was decreased (P<0.01 ).There were no significant changes in the aforementioned indices in the reference group.Weight,body mass index,and waist circumferences were decreased in both groups,but without significant difference between the two groups.

Objective To analyze the medical disputes occurred in the emergency department of our hospital,and discuss the fine management strategy.Methods The medical disputes occurred in 2015 were reviewed.We reviewed the related literature and analyzed the causes of medical disputes by brainstorming and fishbone diagrams.For the root causes,in 2016 to carry out the corresponding fine management.To compare the incidence of medical disputes in emergency department of our hospital before and after the implementation of 1 years,and compare the anxiety and depression scores of 62 emergency medical staff before and after the implementation of fine management.At the same time,satisfaction of emergency services for 60 patients were randomly investigated in 2015 and 2016.Results In 2016,after the implementation of fine management of medical disputes,the percentage of emergency medical disputes was significantly lower than in 2015,and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).Before and after the implementation of fine management,the SAS and SDS scores of emergency medical staff were significantly reduced,and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).At the same time,in the results of random survey,we found that in 2016,the satisfaction rate of patients with emergency technology and service were higher than that in the year of 2015,and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.01).Conclusion After fully understanding the causes of emergency medical disputes,the formulation and implementation of the appropriate management strategy can effectively prevent emergency medical disputes,improve the professional and the service satisfaction of emergency medical staff.
