Objective To investigate the clinical effects of gliclazide sustained-release tablet for recently diag-nosed type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods 118 subjects with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes and normal figure were divided into three groups. The three group subjects used gliclazide sustained-release tablet, repaglinide(import-ed) ,novolin 30R for 12 weeks,respectively. For all pretherapy and post-treatment cases, blood glucose and glycosy-lated hemoglobin were tested before meal. After two hours of meal, blood glucose was tested again. Meanwhile, hypo-glycaemia event was inspected. The test results were analyzed by "mean ± standard deviation" method. Results There are no significant difference(P>0.05) in fasting blood sugar and postprandial blood sugar(2h) level between the group using gliclazide sustained-release tablet and the group using novolin 30R. The clinical effects of both gli-clazide sustained-release tablet and novolin 30R to fasting blood sugar are all better than that of repaglinide(import-ed) (P < 0.01). But there are no significant difference in postprandial blood sugar(2h) level between the group of us-ing gliclazide sustained-release tablet and the following two group: repaglinide(imported) and novolin 30R. Conclu-sion The investigation results show that gliclazide sustained-release tablet is better than repaglinide(imported) in fasting blood sugar. But for the effects of postprandial blood sugar(2h), there is no significant difference between gli-clazide sustained-release tablet, repaglinide(imported) and novolin 30R.

Objective To investigate the effect of hyperurieemia on cardiovascular and cerebrovaseular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Methods According to the level of blood uric acid,430 patients with T2DM were divided into hyperuricemia group and non-hyperurieemia group, the differences of uric acid(UA) ,creatine(Cr) ,total cholesterol(TC) ,triglyeride(TG) ,fasting blood glucose(FBG) ,glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c) and body mass index(BMI) were compared,and the occurrences of coronary heart disease, hypertension and acute cerebrovascular accidence were observed. Results The FBG and HbAIc were not significantly different between the two groups(P＞0.05). The BMI ,TG,TC and Cr in the hyperurieemia group were significantly higher than those in the non-hyperuricemia group(P＜0.05 ). The incidence rates of coronary heart disease, hypertension and acute cerebrovascular diseases in the hyperuricemia group were also significantly higher than those in the non-hyperuricemia group (P＜0.05 ). Conclusion Hyperuricemia is obviously correlated with obesity and blood lipid abnormalities. Hyperurieemia can aggravate the metabolic disturbances,and can accelerate the occurrence and development of cardiovascular and eerebrovascular diseases in the patients with T2DM.

Objective To explore the relationship between pulse pressure (PP) and artery atherosclerosis in elders. Methods Totally 2358 eiders( > 60y) with the risk factors of artery atherosclerosis from Yangpu District DOI:10.3760/cma.j.issn.1008-6315.2009.09.006Central Hospital and 11 Community Health Service Centers were enrolled . The basic information includes age, sex, height,body mass, history of smoking, blood pressure, heart rate, history of coronary heart disease, ischemic stoke, chronic kidney diseases and diabetes,etc. The fasting blood sugar(FBS) ,blood lipid( total cholesterel,triglyceride, low-density lipreprotein, high-deusity liproprotein), serum creatinine, serum uric acid, serum alanine aminotransferase were measured. The elders were divided into two groups according to the PP( PP <60 mm Hg and PP≥60 mm Hg) to analyse the relationship between PP and age, BMI, SBP, DBP, HR, FBS, TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, Cr, Ccr, UA, AST and history of coronary heart disease,ischemic stoke,chronic renal disease, and diabetes. Results Serum levels of FBS,TC,TG, LDL-C, UA in the group with PP less than 60 nun Hg were ( 5.6±1.7 ) mmol/L, (4.3±1.3 ) mmol/L, ( 1.5±1.2) mmol/L, ( 2.5±1.1 ) mmol/L, UA ( 246.8±131.2 ) μmol/L, that in the group with PP over or equal to 60 mm Hg group were (6.3±2.6) mmol/L, (4.8±1.2) mmol/L, ( 1.9±1.1 ) mmol/L, (2.9±1.2) mmol/L, (291.4±133.6) μmol/L, Serum levels of FBS, TC, TG, LDL-C, UA in the group with PP over 60 mm Hg were obviously elevated as compared with that in the group with PP lower than 60 ram Hg(P <0.01 ) ; The preven-lence rates of coronary heart disease ischemic stoke,chronic,renal disease, diabetes in the group with PP less than 60 mm Hg were 10.8% ,26.0%, 12.4%, 17.6%, that in the group with PP over or equal to 60 mm Hg group were 17.8% 、31.7% ,16.9% ,23.8% (P <0.01 ). The preveulence of coronary heart disease ischemic stoke,chronic re-nal disease, diabetes were significandy increased in the group with PP over or equal to 60 mm Hg group. Logistic re-gression analysis showed PP was closely related to FBS, BMI, age, LDL-C, UA, HDL-C ( β = 0.103,0.093.0.097, 0.089 ,0.076 , - 0.057, P < 0.05 ). Conclusions For those elders with the basis of artery atherosclerosis, high PP can inhance the development of artery atheresclerosis and also inhance the occurance and development of cardio-ce-rebrovascular and renal diseases.

Objective To investigate the relationship between type-2 diabetes mellitus and artery atherosclerosis(AS) in the elderly. MethodsThe clinical data of 277 elders,who were admitted in hospital between April 2005 and September 2007, were retrospectively analyzed. These elders were divided into four groups: type 2 diabetes with carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) group (group A, n=119), type 2 diabetes without CAS group (group B, n= 30), non-diabetic with CAS group (group C, n=32), non-diabetic without CAS group (group D, n=96). The correlation between carotid artery plaque and related factors were studied. Results① Compared with group C,fasting blood glucose[(7.14±2.49) mmol/L vs. (5.21±0.87) mmol/L], triglycefide [(1.41±0.78) mmol/L vs. (0.95±0.39) mmol/L],left and right common carotid artery IMT [(0.85±0.11) nun vs. (0.79±0.08) mm, (0.85±0.11)mm vs. (0.78±0.09)mm] and PI [(1.37±1.16) vs. (0.50±0.80)] of group A were significantly increased, while high density lipoprotein [(1.29±0.32) mmol/L vs. (1.58±0.45) mmol/L] is significantly decreased(P=0.01). ②Compared with group B, left and right common carotid artery IMT [(0.85±0.11) mm vs. (0.80±0.11)mm,(0.85±0.11)mm vs. (0.80±0.12)mm,PI[(1.37±1.16) vs. (0.00±0.00)]and incidence of stroke 34.5% (41/119) vs. 13.3% (4/30) of group A are significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ③Carotid artery plaque was positively correlated with history of diabetes(r=0.051, P<0.01),hypertension(r= 0.169,P<0.01),coronary heart disease (r=0.109,P<0.05),stroke(r=0.136,P<0.05),fatty liver(r= 0.340,P<0.01),FBG(r=0.339,P<0.01),TG(r=0.195,P<0.01),APOB (r=0.152,P<0.05),but negatively correlated with HDL-C (r=-0.143, P<0.05). Conclusion The risk of AS is higher in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes than that of non-diabetes. The incidence of stroke is higher in type 2 diabetes with AS than those of type 2 diabetes without AS. Carotid artery plaque is positively correlated with diabetes, hypertension, history of coronary heart disease, history of stroke, fatty liver, FBG, TG, ApoB, but negatively correlated with HDL-C.

Objective To discuss the therapeutic effect in the treatment of the acute limb arterial critical ischemia.Methods Collect thirty-nine cases of acute limb arterial critical ischemia in Renji Hospital from Janary 2014 to July 2016.According to the patients' manifestation,these operations were porfermed including thrombectomy,cathetery-directed thrombolysis,mechanical suction bolt,percutaneous angioplasty and stenting.The effect and complications were observed.Results The eighteen patients in 39 cases (46.2％) were dead,including 5 cases without operation,13 operation.The eight cases were amputated during 34 cases of operations.In the 21 out-patients safely,2 cases were not followed up.The time of follow-up was from 3 to 27 months,on average 14.3 months.During the 21 patients,5 cases died from heart cerebrovascular or tumor diseases,3 cases with footdrop,2 cases with toe amputations,3 cases with distal leg and foot anesthesias.Conclusions The patiens with acute limb arteries critical ischemia must be treated as early as,and reinforced the management of multiple organ function,which may improve the diseases' therapeutic effect.

Objective To investigate the relationship between carotid artery plaque formation and blood pressure(BP),pulse pressure(PP),mean blood pressure(MBP) in elderly men.Methods A total of 1461elderly men were divided into carotid artery plaque group(n =1012)and non-carotid artery plaque group(n =449) according to vascular ultrasound examination.Systolic blood pressure(SBP) and diastolic blood pressure(DBP) were recorded by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring(ABPM),at the same time pulse pressure (PP)and mean arterial blood pressure(MBP)were calculated.The relationship between carotid artery plaque formation and SBP,DBP,PP,MBP were analyzed.Results The age in carotid artery plaque group was significantly higher than that in non-carotid artery plaque group[(80.5±5.4) years old vs(77.3±5.9) years old,t =-4.233,P ＜ 0.01];The levels of SBP,PP and M BP in artery plaque group were significantly higher than those in non-carotid artery plaque group[SBP:(132.2±17.0) mm Hg vs(127.5±16.0) mm Hg,t =-4.893,P ＜ 0.001; PP:(60.8±13.4) mm Hg vs(55.9±12.5) mm Hg,t =-5.021,P ＜0.001) ;MBP:(92.6±10.3)mm Hg vs(91.0±9.9)mm Hg,t =-3.897,P ＜ 0.01].The incidence of carotid artery plaque was closely related to age(OR =1.061,P =0.0001),myocardial infarction(OR =1.896,P =0.0135),hypertension grades(OR =1.177,P =0.0019),high cholesterol(OR =1.353,P =0.0335),reduced systolic function(OR =2.466,P =0.0001),lower extremity arterial plaque(OR =5.453,P =0.0001).Conclusion In elderly men,formation of the carotid artery plaque is closely related to increased SBP,PP and MBP,but independent to DBP.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the caries prevention effect of different fluoride application frequencies in 3-year-old children with active caries. MethodsA total of 337 3-year-old children with dental caries from 12 kindergartens in Changning District of Shanghai were divided into three groups： group 1 received fluoride application once every three months， group 2 received fluoride application once every six months， and the control group received no fluoride application. At baseline， parents completed a questionnaire survey， and oral examinations were conducted at baseline， 7 months， and 16 months after the fluoride intervention to assess the incidence of new dental caries， new dmft， and new dmfs of children. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between fluoride application and new dental caries， with new dental caries as the dependent variable and local fluoride application， child's gender， age in months， parents' highest education level， frequency of sugary intake （desserts， candies， sweet beverages）， age of toothbrushing initiation， frequency of daily toothbrushing， use of fluoride toothpaste， parental assistance in child’s toothbrushing， and daily use of dental floss as the independent variables. ResultsThere were no significant differences in baseline general conditions and oral health behaviors among group 1 （121 cases）， group 2 （123 cases） and the control group （93 cases） （all P>0.05）. After 16 months' intervention， three children were lost to follow-up due to transferring schools. The new caries rates of group 1 （120 cases）， group 2 （121 cases） and the control group （93 cases） were 5.83%， 24.79% and 52.69%， respectively. The incidence of new caries was significantly lower in group 1 compared to group 2 and the control group （P<0.001）， and it was also significantly lower in group 2 compared to the control group （P<0.001）. The newly-increased caries of group 1， group 2 and the non-fluoride control group were all 0.12 0.52， 0.36 0.68 and 1.16 1.39， respectively. The mean increment of new caries was lower in group 1 compared to group 2 （P=0.040） and the non-fluoride control group （P<0.001）， and it was lower in group 2 compared to the non-fluoride control group （P<0.001）. After adjusting for factors such as gender， parents' education level and child's oral health behaviors by multivariate logistic regression， the results showed that fluoride application once every three months could significantly reduce the risk of dental caries （OR=0.04， P<0.001）. ConclusionLocal use of fluoride has a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of dental caries in children with active caries. Fluoride application once every three months effectively reduces the incidence of new caries and slows down the progression of caries lesions. It is suggested that local application of fluoride should be implemented once every three months for children with active caries.

OBJECTIVETo examine the effects of procaine and lidocaine on intracellular Ca(2+) release from sarcoplasmic reticulum ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+) stores.

METHODSThe experiment was performed on hippocampal slices from 60-80 g male Mongolian gerbils. Levels of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration in the slices were measured by microfluorometry. The slices were perfused with 50 mmol/L KCl containing medium for 30 seconds. Then, the medium was switched to physiological medium. After 5 min of incubation, the slice was perfused with 20 mmol/L caffeine containing physiology medium for 2 min. Following incubation, the slice was superfused with physiological medium until the end of the experiment. The effects of procaine and lidocanin (100 micro mol/L) on caffeine-evoked Ca(2+) release were evaluated by adding them to the medium after high K(+) medium perfusion.

RESULTSCaffeine induced a marked increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration which was then decreased 12% upon the addition of procaine (P < 0.05); however, lidocaine, did not induce a similar inhibitory reaction.

CONCLUSIONProcaine inhibits ryanodine-receptor mediated Ca(2+) release from intracellular Ca(2+) stores, while lidocaine may inhibit Ca(2+) release through other mechanisms.

Objective , To investigate the influence of blood pressure variability on cerebral infarction in older men. Methods Ambulatory blood pressure was measured in 1527 elderly men ( older than 65 yrs) with atherosclerosis. All cases were divided into 2 groups: Six hundred and seven patients with cerebral infarction ( group A)and 920 patients without cerebral infarction ( group B). Smooth curve method was used to analyze each patient's ambulatory blood pressure data and the trend of each patient's blood pressure curve was portrayed. The differences between the actual blood pressure and the blood pressure on the curve was defined as blood pressure variability,and the blood pressure variability between the 2 groups was compared. Results The systolic blood pressure variability in 24 hours in group A was significantly higher than that in group B( [8.4'±2. 2]mm Hg vs [ 8.0 ± 2. 0 ] mm Hg, P ＜ 0. 01 ), especially for the systolic blood pressure variability in daytime( [ 8. 2 ± 2. 2 ] mm Hg vs [ 7. 8 ± 2. 1 ] mm Hg, P ＜ 0. 01 ). However, the systolic blood pressure variability at night was not significantly different between the 2 groups( [ 8.9 ± 3. 9 ] mm Hg vs [ 8. 7 ± 3.7 ] mm Hg,P ＞ 0. 05 ). There were no significant difference between the diastolic blood pressure of 24 hours( [5. 5 ± 3.8 ] mm Hg vs [5.5 ± 1.5 ]mm Hg,P ＞0. 05),during daytime([5.4 ± 1.5]mm Hg vs [5.3 ± 1.4] mm Hg,P ＞0.05)and nighttime ( [ 6. 1 ± 2.7 ] mm Hg vs [ 6. 1 ± 2. 6 ] mm Hg, P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusion In elderly men with atherosclerosis,cerebral infarction was closely related to systolic blood pressure variability,but independent of nighttime systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure variability.

Objective To explore the effect of family support service intervention on improving the rehabilitation of patients with severe mental disorders in community and the mental health status and family burden of family members. Methods Using multi-stage random sampling method, 100 patients who met the diagnostic criteria of severe mental disorders were randomly selected from two communities, and then 100 patients who met the diagnostic criteria of severe mental disorders were randomly matched according to gender, age and diagnosis in other communities into the control group. The control group and intervention group were set up strictly according to the inclusion criteria of patients and their families. Results The average age of the 200 groups was (48.27±12.67) years, and the average age of the family members was (63.61±13.19) years. After intervention, the activity dailyliving scale (ADL) scores of the control group were higher than those of the intervention group at all time points (all P<0.05). After intervention, the social disability screening schedule (SDSS) scores of the control group were higher than those of the intervention group at all time points (all P<0.05). After intervention, there was no significant difference in the morningside rehabilitation status scale (MRSS) score between the intervention group and the control group at all time points (all P>0.05). After intervention, the SCL-90(self-reporting inventory) scores of the mental health of the family members in the control group were higher than those in the intervention group at all times (all P<0.05). After intervention, the family burden scale of diseases (FBS) scores of the control group were higher than those of the intervention group at all time points (all P<0.05). Conclusions The intervention measures did improve the rehabilitation effect of severe mental disorder patients in community and the psychological and family burden of family members. A professional family support service team should be established.
