Objective: To investigate the effect of oat on blood glucose、insulin and serum lipid in aged patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus.Methods: Blood glucose(FBG,PBG),insulin(F-INS,P-INS) and serum lipid(TG,TC) were determined in eighty aged patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus before and after 50-100 g oat intake. Results: FBG,PBG and P-INS were decreased significantly(P

Objective To investigate the extracellular and intracellular free amino acid concentrations in healthy subjects and its changes in chronic renal failure(Car) .Methods The free amino acid concentrations in the plasma, in the erythrocytes and in the skeletal muscle of 15 patients with CRF were compared with those in ten healthy subjects.Results In healthy subjects, there was little ~difference between the concentrations in erythrocytes and in plasma for most amino acids; but in ~erythrocytes the concentrations of Asp, Glu, Ser were higher than those in plasma (P

Objective To investigate the role of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in transdifferentiation of human renal tubular epithelial cells (HKC).Methods Cultured HKC were divided into 3 groups: (1) negative control; (2) low dose CTGF treated (rhCTGF 2. 5 ng/ml); (3) high dose CTGF treated (rhCTGF,5. 0 ng/ml). Expression of ?-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) and fibronectin(FN) mRNA were measured by RT-PCR. Indirect immunofluorescence and flow cytometry methods were used to assess the level of intracellular ?-SMA protein. Concentration of FN secreted into the media was determined by ELBA. Results Upon the stimulations of different concentrations of rhCTGF,expression of ?-SMA and FN mRNA increased markedly(P

After a description of the new connotations of information literacy education in medical undergraduates in the era of omnimedica such as visual information literacy education, media information literacy education and mobile information literacy education, new strategies were proposed for the information literacy education in medical undergraduates in the era of omnimedia, including updating teaching model, adding education contents, and improving omnimedia presentation ability.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of acute hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis in pregnant women after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET).Methods Clinical data of 11 cases of hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis in women after IVF-ET admitted in Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital from January 2003 to October 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The clinical manifestations of acute hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis were non-specific.All cases presented with fever,and some were accompanied by headache,but no typical respiratory manifestation was observed.Chest X-ray showed typical military lesions.Miscarriage occurred in 11 patients within 2 to 5 weeks after the onset of fever,including 3 received artificial abortion.Conclusions The outcome of hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis in pregnant women after IVF-ET is less favorable.Physicians should be aware of tuberculosis in pregnant women after IVF-ET,especially for those with long-term fever and not responding to anti-inflammatory treatment.

AIM: To evaluate the clinical effects of dual-incision phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy in cataract and glaucoma patients.
METHODS: To observe the visual acuity, intraocular pressure and complications for 3-12mo after surgery as a retrospective study of 65 patients ( 70 eyes ) with cataract and glaucoma.
RESULTS: The visual acuity of 2 eyes was lower than 0.1, 6 eyes were ranged from 0. 1 to 0. 3, 60 eyes were from 0. 4 to 0. 8, 2 eyes were over 1. 0. The postoperative intraocular pressure of 26 eyes were effective controlled. The postoperative shallow anterior chamber occurred in 1 eye.
CONCLUSION: It is an ideal treatment to take dual-incision phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy in cataract and glaucoma patients and it shows better effects than normal operation method.

Objective To investigate clinical significance of proinsulin and true insulin in obese children with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).Methods There were 21 IGT and 52 normal glucose tolerance (NGT) children. Control cases were 40 normal children. The levels of serum fasting proinsulin,true insulin,insulin,c-peptide and glucose were measured in all the subjects.Results 1.Levels of fasting proinsulin,c-peptide, glucose, insulin, true insulin and homeostasis insulin resistance in obese children with IGT showed significant difference compared with NGT (P
