The insulin sensitivity in hypertensive patients with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and the insulin resistance (IR) under the disorder of glucose metabolism and hypertension were studied. By glucose tolerance test and insulin release test, insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and the ratio of area under glucose tolerance curve (AUCG) to area under insulin release curve (AUCI) were calculated and analyzed. The results showed that ISI was decreased to varying degrees in the patients with hypertension, the mildest in the group of NGT with hypertension, followed by the group of IGT without hypertension, the group of IGT with hypertension and DM (P = 0). There was very significant difference in the ratio of AUCG/AUCI between the hypertensive patients with NGT and controls (P = 0). It was concluded that a significant IR existed during the development of IGT both in hypertension and nonhypertension. The increase of total insulin secretion (AUCI) was associated with nonhypertension simultaneously. IR of the hypertensive patients even existed in NGT and was worsened with the deterioration of glucose metabolism disorder, but the AUCI in the HT group changed slightly. A relative deficiency of insulin secretion or dysfunction of beta-cell of islet existed in IGT and DM of the hypertensive patients.

Objective To explore the causes,prevention and treatment of common complications in stone extraction by choledochoscopy after bile duct operation.Methods The clinical data of 165 cases with complications after stone extraction by choledochoscopy in 1379 treated cases during 7 years were analyzed.Results The common unfavorable reactions of nausea,vomiting,abdominal pain and diarrhea occurred in 107 cases,and were alleviated by controlling the amount and rapidity of the infused sterilized water during choledochoscopy.Chills and fever occurred in 25 cases and were controlled by adequate T tube drainage and antibiotics.Bile duct hemorrhage occurred in 11 cases,including automatic hemostasis in 5 cases,hemostasis after infusing thrombin by T tube in 5 cases and hemostasis after infusing thrombin by vein in 1 case.Biliary fistula from sinus tract perforation occurred in 3 cases,and in these,T tube was successtully re-inserted in 1 case and T tube was inserted by reoperation in 2 cases.T-tube tract could not admit the choledochoscope in 19 cases,and were treated by re-choledochoscopy after gradual T-tube dilataton in 12 cases,but the sinus tract close to common bile duct was completely obstructed in 7 cases.Conclusions Choledochoscopic removal of retained stones is a safe procedure but unfavorable reactions and complications are not uncommon.The severe complications,such as bile duct hemorrhage and biliary fistula,should be prevented and appropriately treated.

Objective To investigate the detection of early cervical cancer patient's peripheral blood CK19 mRNA and its clinical significance. Methods 30 early (ⅠA2~ⅡA) cervical cancer patients from the department of gynecological tumors in the third affiliated hospital of Kunming Medical University were selected as experimental group, 15 patients with uterine myoma and 15 healthy volunteers as negative control group,15 advanced (ⅡB~ⅢB) cervical cancer patients as positive control group. Peripheral blood samples before receiving radical resection of experimental group,and the same samples before treatment of control groups were collected. The change of relative expression level and positive rate of peripheral blood CK19 was analyzed using qRT-PCR technique, and its correlation with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis was further analyzed. Results There was significant difference in relative expression level of CK19 mRNA in the peripheral blood between experimental group and control groups ( <0.001) . And the positive rate of CK19 in the peripheral blood from 30 patients with early cervical cancer before operation in the experimental group was 30% (9/30) . Furthermore, CK19 mRNA positive rate before surgery was correlated with lymph node metastasis, muscularis invasion and pathologic risk factors for postoperative ( <0.05) . There were no significant correlation between CK19 mRNA positive rate and other clinical and pathological features such as age,clinical stage (FIGO),tumor cell differentiation,tumor size,pathological type and etc ( > 0.05) . Conclusions CK-19 mRNA is a specific and suitable molecular marker for the detection of circulating tumor cells in early cervical cancer. Detection of peripheral blood CK19 mRNA expression before receiving radical hysterectomy in patients with early cervical cancer can also make up for the disadvantage of other methods such as the imaging, tumor marker detection. Most important of all, it can provide the basis for choosing a proper adjuvant therapy post-operation and estimating the relapse and prognosis.

Objective · To explore the relationship between baseline lipid profiles and long-term cardiovascular outcomes after intervention with hypoglycemic drugs metformin and glipizide and to detect lipid components that can predict the long-term cardiovascular effect of metformin and glipizide.Methods· Liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight-mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF/MS) was used to measure 119 lipid components in baseline serum for 116 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD) who were treated with glipizide (56 cases,the glipizide group)or metformin (60 cases,the metformin group).Cardiovascular complex end points (including cardiovascular death,all-cause death,nonfatal myocardial infarction,nonfatal stroke,and arterial revascularization) of all patients were followed up.The relationship between lipid components and cardiovascular complex end points was analyzed with Logistic regression analysis.The category-free net reclassification index (cfNRI) and the integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) were used to evaluate whether lipid components are helpful for predicting the recurrent cardiovascular events.Results· The differences in baseline drug distribution,clinical characteristics,and biochemical indexes between two groups were not statistically significant,except for diuretics use,serum PC (O-34:2) level,and SM (d18:0-24:0) level.Logistic regression analysis showed that baseline ChE (20:4) was a protective factor for recurrent cardiovascular events in the glipizide group (OR=0.87,P=0.039).ChE (20:4) significantly increased the cfNRI and IDI of cardiovascular complex end points by 69％ and 0.07,respectively (P=0.011,P=0.028).Baseline SM (dl 8:1-22:0) was a risk factor for recurrent cardiovascular events in the metformin group and all participants (OR=1.65,P=0.039;OR=1.64,P=0.014).SM (d18:1-22:0) significantly increased the cfNRI of cardiovascular complex end points in the metformin group and all participants by 74％ and 55％,respectively (P=0.012,P=0.005).Conclusion· Of 119 lipid components measured with LC-QTOF/MS,baseline ChE (20:4) is a protective factor and SM (d18:1-22:0) is a risk factor for cardiovascular complex end points in with T2DM and CHD patients after long-term treatment with metformin and glipizide.Both lipid components are helpful for improving the prediction of recurrent cardiovascular events.

Objective:To investigate the effects of riboflavin-ultraviolet A scleral collagen cross-linking on the retina under different irradiation time, and to determine the safe irradiation time.Methods:Sixty healthy New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into control group (0 minute group), 10 minutes group, 20 minutes group, 30 minutes group and 40 minutes irradiation group according to the irradiation time, with 12 rabbits in each group.The left eye was irradiated with riboflavin-ultraviolet A scleral collagen (370 nm, 10 mW/cm 2). The histopathological change of retina was observed by light microscope and transmission electron microscope and compared among different groups.The concentration of MDA and the activities of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px in retinal tissue were detected by corresponding kits.The expression levels of SOD and CAT proteins in retinal tissue were detected by Western blot method.The study protocol was approved by the Binzhou Medical University Laboratory Animal Ethical Committee (No.2017-80). The use and care of animals complied with the statement of ARVO and the Regulation on the Management of Laboratory Animal Quality of China. Results:Under the light microscope, the structure of the retinas in the control group was orderly arranged.Under the transmission electron microscope, the lamellar structure in the inner segment and the mitochondrial structure in the outer segment of the photoreceptor cells were intact, and the mitochondrial ridge was continuous in the control group.There was no obvious difference in retinal morphology between the 10 minutes irradiation group and the control group under both the light microscope and the transmission electron microscope, and the retinal damage became more severe with the prolongation of irradiation time.The concentration of MDA in the retina of each group was elevated gradually with the increase of irradiation time, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=65.25, P<0.05). The concentration of MDA was (11.31±1.84), (14.94±1.04)and (18.25±1.42)nmol/mgprot in the 20 minutes, 30 minutes and 40 minutes irradiation groups respectively, which were significantly higher than (1.13±0.02)nmol/mgprot in the control group (all at P<0.05). The MDA concentration in 20 minutes, 30 minutes and 40 minutes irradiation groups was increased successively, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). With the prolongation of irradiation time, the activities of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px as well as the expression levels of SOD and CAT proteins were significantly decreased gradually ( F=44.09, 34.18, 35.60, 115.75, 78.86; all at P<0.05). The differences between the control group and 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes irradiation groups, and the differences among 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes irradiation groups were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:Riboflavin-ultraviolet A 10 mW/cm 2 scleral collagen cross-linking irradiation for 10 minutes is safe.Excessive irradiation time can cause damage to the retina of rabits.

Objective To analyze the effect of stroke duration on the cognitive function in the elderly population in Beijing.Methods Based on the Research Project of Beijing Chronic Disease Combined with Common Elderly Syndrome Community Management Practices,a cross-sectional study was used.From July 2013 to December 2014,the old population in 4 districts and a county (Xicheng District,Fangshan District,Tongzhou District and Yanqing County) in Beijing were sampled with the multi-stage,randomized and stratified sampling.A total of 3 024 subjects were enrolled in the study.The data were obtained from the questionnaires and clinical examinations.Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used as the evaluation index of cognitive function.The subjects were divided into either a normal cognitive function group (MMSE>26,n=1 878) or a cognitive impairment group (MMSE≤26,n=1 146) according to the MMSE scores.A multiple logistic regression model was used to analyze the effects of hemorrhagic stroke,ischemic stroke,and asymptomatic stroke,as well as disease duration on cognitive function.Results After adjusting for the confounding factors,such as sex,age,educational level,marriage,smoking,and alcohol consumption,the risks of occurring cognitive impairment in patients with hemorrhagic stroke in stroke duration for 1-3,4-10 and >10 years were OR 3.019 (95％CI 0.974-9.361,P=0.056),8.652 (95％CI 2.924-25.601,P<0.01) and 1.104 (95％CI 0.311-3.920,P=0.879) times of those without occurring stroke population;the risks of occurring cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic stroke in stroke duration for 1-3,4-10 and >10 years were 1.000 (95％CI 0.636-1.571,P=1.000),1.874 (95％CI 1.231-2.853,P=0.003),2.439 (95％CI 1.386-4.291,P=0.002) times of those without occurring stroke population.Stroke duration for 4-10 years in patients with hemorrhagic stroke and stroke duration for 4-10 and >10 years in patients with ischemic stroke were all the risk factors for occurring cognitive dysfunction.Conclusion For patients with stroke,stroke duration or long-term effects has a certain impact on cognitive function.

Objective The unbalanced phenotype of pe-ripheral blood monocyte is closely related to the pathological progres-sion of pulmonary fibrosis .The present study was designed to address the dynamic changes of circulating monocyte subsets in the experimen-tal mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis , and explore the relationship of circulating monocyte subsets with pulmonary inflammation and fibro-sis. Methods A total of 100male C 57BL/6J mice were random-ized as control group and a bleomycin A 5 group to be treated with sterile saline and bleomycin A5 at 2 mg/kg, respectively.The mice were sacrificed on day 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 after treatment.The inflammation score and collagen volume fraction ( CVF) of the lung tissue were obtained by HE and Masson staining .The total number and different types of cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ( BALF) were counted using the routine method .The mRNA expressions of collagens ⅠandⅢwere determined by real-time PCR, the content of hydroxyproline (HYP) assayed by the chloramine-T method, and the proportions of different monocyte subsets measured by flow cytometry . Results Compared with the saline control , the bleo-mycin A5 group showed significantly increases in the inflammation score at 3 and 7 days ( P<0 .01 ) , CVF at 14 and 21 days ( P<0.01), and the numbers of total cells and macrophages in BALF at 3-21 days, the count of neutrophils granulocytes at 1-3 days (P<0.01), The numbers of neutrophile granulocyles were significant higer than that in control groups on the 1st(9.086 ±1.268 vs 1.108 ±0.229), 3rd(5.551 ±0.511 vs 0.315 ±0.100) and 7th(8.093 ±0.922 vs 0.249 ±0.074)day.The mRNA expressions of collagens ⅠandⅢat 14 and 21 days (P<0.05), the content of HYP at 7-21 days (P<0.01), and the proportion of Ly6Chi mon-ocytes on day 1, which peaked on day 3 (P<0.01) and then decreased from day 14 to 21.The proportion of Ly6Chi monocytes was positively correlated with the inflammation score (P<0.000 1) and CVF of the lung tissue (P=0.001 3). Conclusion In the mouse model of bleomycin A5-induced pulmonary fibrosis, dynamic changes of circulating Ly6Chi and Ly6Clo monocyte subsets occurred in different pathophysiological stages .Compared with the pathological process of inflammatory infiltration , Ly6Chi circulating monocytes displayed a rapid response to tissue injury and inflammation .The increased proportion of Ly6Chi monocyte subsets might be closely re-lated with pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis .

Objective: To investigate the oral health service demands and utilization among school-age children in Xiangfang district of Harbin, and to explore the related influencing factors. Methods: A total of 7 944 children aged 6-11 were investigated for oral health status through questionnaire survey in Xiangfang District, Harbin. Descriptive analysis, Chi-square test, nonparametric test and Logistic regression were used to analyze the oral health service demands and utilization of school-age children. Results: The rate of caries, unfilled caries, malocclusion and traumatic dental injuries were 89.7%, 60.7%, 59.3% and 12.5%, respectively. In the past 12 months, 53.8% of children had toothache. The rate of seeking medical treatment in stomatology department was 31.6%, with the primary reason being treatment (47.6%), while the rate of preventive dental treatment was 15.6%. Multivariate analysis showed that girls, father s education being high school or technical secondary school, father s education higher or equal to junior college, poor oral health evaluation, high score on oral knowledge and oral attitude, brushing teeth once a day, brushing teeth twice a day or more, having attended oral health courses, having toothache experience, having dental trauma experience, suffering from dental caries were more likely to visit the oral clinics (OR=1.11，1.17，1.50，0.80，1.07，1.21，1.60，2.27，1.28，1.49，1.54，1.67, P<0.05). Conclusion In Xiangfang District of Harbin, there is a large demand for oral health services for school-age children, however, both of the utilization rate and the preventive medical treatment rate is low. Many factors affect the utilization of oral health services for children. It is suggested that targeted measures should be taken to improve the utilization level of school-age children s health resources.
