Objective To evaluate the rationale of lowering the cutoff value of normal fasting plasma glucose (FPG) by studying the cardiovascular risk factors in subjects with different FPG levels and different glucose tolerance states. Methods A population-based survey of diabetes was undertaken in 1994, data from 15564 Chinese adults (age≥25) who adopted 75 g-oral glucose tolerance test were analyzed. Results (1) The frequencies of BMI≥25 kg/m 2 , hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, metabolic syndrome were increasing with graded FPG levels at a 0.56 mmol/L interval. FPG at 5.0-5.6 mmol/L level overweight frequency elevated significantly (P=0.001), and FPG at 5.6-6.1 mmol/L level the metabolic syndrome and other components also elevated (P

Objective To clarify which component plays a pivotal role in metabolic syndrome (MS) which is associated with an elevated risk for cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Methods A total of 15564 participants (aged≥25 years old) with high risk for type 2 diabetes in the 1994 National Diabetes Mellitus Surveywere included in this analysis. MS was diagnosed according to the 1999 WHO criteria, and insulin resistance (IR) was defined as being above the 75th percentile of HOMA-IR of the population aged 25-74 years with normal glucose tolerance. Multiple logistic stepwise regression analysis was used to identify the contribution of each component to MS. Results The unadjusted and age-adjusted prevalences of MS in this population was 64.35% and 59.00%, respectively. Age, sex, systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), waist to hip ratio (WHR)/waist circumference and body mass index(BMI), but not IR, plasma glucose level, and plasma triglyceride level, were independently associated with MS, with predicted concordance of 93.8%. The combination of WHR, BMI, SBP, and DBP accounted for 90.2% of the variance of MS, and if BMI was deleted, the remaining three items accounted for 86.1% of the variance. An increment of 0.05 in WHR, or 5 cm in waist circumference, or 10 mm Hg in SBP, or 5 mm Hg in DBP, or 5 kg/m 2in BMI would elevate the risk for MS by 3.35 times, 1.87 times, 1.52 times, 1.46 times, or 1.34 times, respectively. Conclusion The combination of WHR/waist circumference and blood pressure can be used as a simplepredictor for MS in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the rationale therapy method of hysteroscopic surgery for cesarean scar pregnancy. Methods A retrospective review of medical records of 64 patients with cesarean scar pregnancy admitted in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2006 to April 2009 was performed, 27 cases out of them were referred from other institutions, and received various interventions before admission, while 37 cases were admitted to our hospital without prior treatments. Results The diagnosis was confirmed by serum human chorionic gunadotropin-beta subunit (β-hCG) and ultrasound.Sixty-three patients were removed of conceptive tissues underwent hysteroscopy assisted by ultrasonic guidance, while 1 patient underwent hysteroscopic removal of conceptive tissues assisted by laparoscopic surveillance. Seven cases of sixty-four were experienced second salvage operation. Pathological examinations were performed for all cases and 1 case was diagnosed to be choriocarcinoma. Conclusion Hysteroscopic removal of conceptive tissues implanted in the cesarean section scar seems to be a feasible and safe procedure that might be considered as a treatment option and it should be monitor the levels of β-hCG and the residual lesions after surgery.

Objective: To investigate the effects of a Chinese herbal formula for calming liver and suppressing yang on the protein expressions of vascular tissues in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), and to explore the mechanism of efficacy. Methods: Twenty SHRs were randomly divided into model group and treatment group. Another 10 Wistar-Kyoto rats were selected as a normal control. SHRs in the treatment group were administered with the formula for calming liver and suppressing Yang for 4 weeks. During the course of treatment, blood pressure and heart rates were monitored every week and the ethology of rats, including irritability and rotation endurance was also evaluated. After treatment, thoracic aorta was obtained and its proteins were separated by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). The differentially expressed proteins were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and database query. Results: The formula for calming liver and suppressing yang not only decreased the systolic blood pressure and heart rate, but also improved irritability degree and rotation endurance time of SHRs. This experiment had established the 2-DE graph of protein expressions of vascular tissues in SHRs. Compared with the normal group, the expressions of 15 proteins were down-regulated, and 12 proteins were up-regulated in vascular tissues of the model group. The formula for calming liver and suppressing yang treatment up-regulated expressions of 10 proteins in the 15 down-regulated proteins, and down-regulated 8 proteins in the 12 up-regulated proteins in vascular tissues of SHRs. After analysis, 16 obviously differentially expressed proteins were found, and 13 of them were identified. Conclusion: The formula for calming liver and suppressing yang can improve the ethology of SHRs. The mechanism is probably concerned with regulating the protein expressions of vascular tissues.

Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of uterine arterial embolization (UAE) combined with hystersocpic excisionl of exogenous cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). Methods Totally 67 patients with exogenous CSP treated with selective UAE combined with hysterscopic surgery in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were analyzed retrospectively; 35 patients in Group A (thickness of the cesarean scar>3 mm), while 32 patients in Group B (thickness of the cesarean scar≤3 mm). The following clinical parameters including operative time, intraoperative blood loss, quantity of postoperative uterine drainage, postoperative hospital days, the time for the mass absorption and the return ofβ-hCG to normal were compared. Results All hysterscopic procedures were successfully completed in Group A, and only one case underwent a second hysteroscopic excision due to the 1-month postoperative ultrasound examination indicating a mass located in the cesarean scar and a slow decline of β-hCG. Three cases of Group B were transformed to laparoscopic or laparotomy operation and 7 cases underwent a second surgery. The volume of introperative blood loss was (97±41) ml in Group A and (161±92) ml in Group B, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). But the operative time, quantity of postoperative uterine drainage, postoperative hospital days, the time for the retrun ofβ-hCG to normal and the mass absorption in Group A were (36±9) minutes, (38±13) ml, (3.5±0.5) days, (26±5) days, (82±17) days, in Group B were (37± 9) minutes, (42 ± 16) ml, (4.0 ± 0.7) days, (28 ± 8) days, (88 ± 15) days, respectively, the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Conclusions For exogenous CSP, when the thickness of cesarean scar is ≤3 mm, whether or not undertaking UAE, it should be seen as contraindication of hysterscopic surgery. UAE combined with hysterscopic surgery for the treatment of exogeous CSP with the cesarean scar thickness>3 mm is safe and feasible according to patients condition and should be performed by experienced hysteroscopist.
