Diseases of glucose and lipid metabolism disorder,presented rather complicated pathological mechanism,often with clinical pattern of multiple concurrent diseases.Therefore,the traditional single-disease based on treatment methods need improving.In view of plenty of clinical practice,theatrical and fundamental researches,the pathological mechanisms of some chronic disorders,such as hyperlipidemia,nonalcoholic fatty liver disease,type 2 diabetes,hypertension,atherosclerosis and severe cardiovascular complications,resulted from the impairment in the metabolism of glucose and lipid were investigated using the method of integrated Chinese and western medicine.Overall,the features of these diseases and their common characteristics were discovered,and accordingly we defined the new concept of glucolipid metabolic disease (GLMD) and put forward the concept of pivot liver of metabolic regulation system.In addition,we developed the therapeutic strategy of modulating liver,starting pivot and cleaning turbidity,for the comprehensive and integrated treatment and prevention of these diseases.The theory of GLMD shared the critical characteristics with precision medicine,taking its own specialty.Finally,the content and approaches for the research of GLMD were proposed,and some essential and core fields in the precision medical research for GLMD were profoundly analyzed and prospected.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the enantioselectivity of norgestrel (NG) transdermal permeation and the potential influence of linalool and lipids on the enantioselectivity. In vitro skin permeation studies of NG across the excised rat skins were performed with Valia-Chien diffusion cells, and the permeation samples were analyzed by enantioselective HPLC. The possible enantioselective permeation of NG across intact rat back skin and lipids extracted rat back skin and the influence of linalool were evaluated. The skin permeation rate of dl-NG was two times higher than that of l-NG when donor solutions (EtOH/H2O 2 : 8, v/v) containing l-NG or dl-NG. It may be mainly attributed to the solubility discrepancy between enantiomer and racemate. The enantioselective permeation of dl-NG across intact rat skin was observed when the donor solutions containing dl-linalool. The permeation flux of l-NG was 22% higher than that of d-NG. But interestingly, the enantioselective permeation of dl-NG disappeared under the same experimental condition except that the lipid extracted rat skin was used. Attenuated total reflection-fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis of stratum corneum showed that the wave number for asymmetric CH2 stretching vibrations of lipids treated with dl-linalool was greater than that of the control. The results indicated that the enantioselective permeation of NG may be contributed by the interaction between dl-linalool and lipids. More than half of lipids were composed of ceramides. The stereospecific interaction maybe existed among chiral enhancer (linalool), lipids (ceramides) and/or chiral drugs (NG).

OBJECTIVETo develop and evaluate an individualized fluid therapy in the elderly patients with coronary heart disease undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.

METHODSIn this prospective study, 60 coronary heart disease patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery were included in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from March 2009 to March 2012. Patients were randomized into the intervention group and the control group with 30 patients in each group. Individualized fluid therapy was used during surgery and postoperative period in the ICU, which was determined based on target controlled fluid therapy according to cardiac index, stroke volume, and stroke volume variation. Traditional fluid therapy was used in the control group in the intraoperative and postoperative period. The two groups were compared in terms of postoperative hemodynamic parameters, total fluid volume, incidence of adverse cardiac events, and recovery of bowel function.

RESULTSCompared with the control group, mean arterial pressure was significantly increased at the commencement of the surgery. The cardiac index was significantly elevated during surgery and at the end of the surgery. Stroke volume was significantly increased after induction of anesthesia, during the surgery, and at the early stay of ICU period(all P<0.05). Serum lactic acid in the intervention group was significantly lower at the end of surgery and during ICU stay than that in the control group (all P<0.05). During surgery and 24-hour stay in ICU, the total fluid volume, crystal usage, and urine were significantly less, while colloidal fluid use was significantly more in the intervention group as compared to the control group(all P<0.05). The perioperative adverse cardiac event rate was 36.7%(11/30) in the intervention group, lower than 56.7%(17/30) in the control group, but the difference was no statistically significance(P>0.05). In the intervention group, defecation time, time to first flatus, resumption of liquid intake, length of ICU stay and hospital stay were significantly less compared with the control group(P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONIn the elderly patients with coronary arterial disease undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, individualized fluid therapy can effectively decrease adverse cardiac events, improve postoperative gastrointestinal function, and reduce length of hospital stay.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the intermittent deferomamine(DF) therapy on relieving iron overload caused by transfusion in children with ? thalassemia.Methods Sixteen children who were finally diagnosed as ? thalassemia major were treated with deferomamine for 124 times totally to low the iron overload. The serum iron(SI), serum ferritin(SF) and urine ferritin were detected each time with radio-immunity technique and difference was compared before and after treatment. Meanwhile, weather DF involved children′s liver and renal function was observed in whole procedure.Results Iron overload exists in 16 cases of ? thalassemia major children by a long- term hypertransfusion therapy, with average level SI 33.69?6.72 mmol/L,SF 441.19? 54.70 ?g/L,urine ferritin 8.64?6.79 ?g/L. The difference was significant (paired-samples t test,t =6.173 P 0.05).Conclusion The study suggest that intermittent low-dose DF therapy is effective for iron overload caused by transfusion in ? thalassemia children, without apparent side effects.

Objective To investigate our early results of robot-assisted esophagectomy (RAE) and present our learning curve experience with the largest study from one-single institution of China.Methods Between November 2015 and April 2017,a series of consecutive patients undergoing RAE at Shanghai Chest Hospital were reviewed.The patients'demographics,operative and postoperative outcomes were demonstrated.Results A total of 154 patients underwent RAE during the study.All patients received Mckeown esophagectomy and extensive thoraco-abdominal two-field lymph node dissection.Of these,122 were male and 32 were female.The mean total operative duration was 179-445 (271.0 ±61.5) min and the operative duration of the thoracic phase was 51-142 (96.7 ± 27.0)min.The mean estimated blood loss was 100 -1 000 (230.4 ±74.4)ml.The pathological results showed that 150 had squamous cell carcinoma,2 had adenocarcinoma,and 2 had small cell carcinoma.The R0 resection was 92.2％.The mean number of lymph node dissection was 11-64 (20.4 ± 8.5) and the lymph node sampling rate along left and right recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) were 92.2％ and 88.3％.The morbidity was present in 64 of 154 patients (41.6％).The major complications rate was anastomotic leak (12.3％),and vocal cord paralysis (16.9％).Intensive care unit (ICU) hospital stay time was 0-27 (2.7 ± 3.6) d,the median length of hospital stay was 7-81 (15.8 ± 11.6)days.There was no 90-day mortality.Conclusions RAE is a safe and feasible alternative for treatment of esophageal cancer.RAE can improve the efficacy of lymph node dissection,especially for the lymphadenectomy along recurrent laryngeal nerve.
