Objective: To observe the effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with hypertension on lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Methods: A case-matched study of fasting plasma glucose (FBG), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HIDL), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), insulin (FIN), C-peptide (FCP) and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) were detected in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with and without hypertensiorn. Results: Twenty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated hypertension had higher TG、 FINS and FCP, lower HDL and ISI levels than 20 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without hypertension. Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hypertension had more remarkable lipid metabolic disorder and insulin resistance than type 2 diabetes mellitus without hypertension.

Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is an autoimmune disease,and the pathogenesis of TAO is still unclear at present,so it is difficult to take proper prevention and treatment.TAO is a polygenic disease,it is a result of both genetic and environmental factors.Now a large number of researchers showed genetic predisposition of TAO,such as associated genes about cytokine (CK),human leukocyte antigen DR gene (HLA-DR),uridine diphosphate glucose phosphate dehydrogenase gene (UGDH),parathyroid hormone-like hormone gene (PTHLH),human beta defensin-2 gene (HBD-2),cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4 gene (CTLA4),cluster of defferentiation 86 gene (CD86) and CD103 gene,cardiac calsequestrin-2 gene (CASQ-2),Toll-like receptor-9 gene (TLR-9),peroxisome proliferation factor receptorγ activation gene (PPAR-γ2),hyaluronan synthase gene (HAS),hyaluronidase gene (HYAL),etc.This review summarizes the corresponding associations respectively based on specific genetic research,so as to have a system understanding to TAO susceptibility genes.

Elbow stiffness is a common complication after trauma or surgery to this joint. The soft tissue is a primary factor resulting in stiffness of the elbow. Splints increasing passive range of motion (PROM) with creep or stress relaxation principle play a important role in reconstruction for post-traumatic elbow stiffness. The clinician should follow the basic principle in designing and application of splints. With reasonable resign and appropriate regimen, clinical experience and related research show that splints can improve elbow ROM of post-traumatic elbow stiffness efficiently.

Heterotopic gastric mucosa of the upper esophagus( HGMUE)is a rare esophageal disease. It is considered as a result of immature development of esophageal mucosal epithelium in embryonic period. Most of patients have no specific symptoms. The diagnosis of HGMUE is mainly based on endoscopy and biopsy. With the development of endoscopic technique,the detection rate of HGMUE is elevated and increasing attention has been paid to this disease. This article reviewed the clinical research on HGMUE.

Atherosclerosis is the pathological basis of ischemic stroke. Peripheral blood leukocytes are involved in the occurrence and progression of atherosclerosis and cause vascular endothelial injury. A series of changes of peripheral immune cel take place after acute ischemic stroke and cause inflammatory cel infiltrating into the brain tissue. The elevated leukocyte count is closely associated with the occurrence and prognosis of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Studies have also shown that the elevated leukocyte count may influence the occurrence of ischemic stroke, neurological deficit, recurrence, and death. This article reviews the relationship between peripheral blood leukocytes and ischemic stroke.

Animal models using for research the cancer matestasis should be entirely similar to the clinical pathological process in patients.Currently,two kinds of animal models with genetic engineering and human tumor xenografts are available in laboratory,which provide a possible research tool to investigate the mechanism of tumor metastasis and explore the experimental treatment.In these models,the techniques including how to select the cell lines and using real-time imaging detection are very important factors.
