Objective:To study the diagnostic value of combined detection of IAA,ICA and GADA in the classification of diabetes mellitus.Methods:30 cases of patients with type 1 diabetes who were treated in our hospital from June 2015 to June 2016 were selected as A group,60 cases of patients with type 2 diabetes were selected as B group,50 cases of healthy people were selected as C group.The IAA,ICA and GADA of the three groups were detected by ELISA,and the positive rate of the three groups were compared.Results:The fasting glucose of A group was (10.12± 3.68) mmol/L,B group was (11.23± 3.26) mmol/L,A group and B group were significantly higher than that of C group (P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between A group and B group (P＞0.05);the positive rates of GADA,ICA and IAA in A group and B group were significantly higher than those in C group (P＜0.05),and the positive rates of GADA,ICA and IAA in A group were significantly higher than those in B group (P＜0.05);the sensitivity and specificity of combined detection of IAA,ICA and GADA in type 2 and type 1 diabetes mellitus were significantly higher than that in the single test (P＜0.05).Conclusions:The combined detection of IAA,ICA and GADA has a high diagnostic value in the classification of diabetes mellitus,which is worth clinical application.

OBJECTIVETo explore the incidence, degree, and pattern of rib cartilage calcification in congenital microtia patients, in order to provide reference for harvesting the rib cartilage, sculpturing cartilage framework.

METHODSFrom Jun. 2013 to Nov. 2014, 383 patients (age range, 6-45 years) underwent CT scans of the chest. 11 patients with bony diseases or traumatic history were excluded. The remaining 372 patients were divided by age into four groups as 6-15, 16-25, 26-35, 36-45 years old. Twenty patients (10 male and 10 female) were selected by the order of patient identification number in each age group, thus selecting a total of 80 patients (40 male and 40 female). Retrospective study of CT scans of the chest in 80 patients and the incidence, degree, and pattern of cartilage calcification of the sixth to eighth ribs were noted. A chi-square test is conducted to test whether there are significant difference between the variables through the SPSS 19.0 software.

RESULTSOverall, 40.4% (194/480) cartilage was calcified; female patients (47.50%, 114/240) showed higher frequency of calcification than male patients (33.33%, 80/240, P = 0. 025). Calcification rates of all age groups are 1.7% (2/120), 46.7% (56/ 120), 49.2% (59/120), 64.2% (77/120). Calcification rate of 6-15 years group is lowest in all groups (P < 0.05) while other three groups have no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Calcification rates of the sixth and sevent rib cartilage were higher than those of the eighth rib cartilage in all age groups except 6-15 years group, who had a similar rate of all three ribs. Calcification rate of all three rib cartilage was significantly increased with age. Calcification rates of the amle's rib cartilage and the female's in all age groups are 3.3% (2/60) and 0.0% (0/60) (6-15 years): 33.3% (20/60) and 60.0% (36/60) (16-25 years): 40.0% (24/60) and 58.3% (35/60) (26-35 years), 56.7% (34/60) and 71.2% (43/60) (36-45 years). In 6-15 years group calcification rates of male and female had a similar rate, while female's rates were higher than male's rates in other three groups. Male and females mainly had the granular type of calcification [70.0% (56/80), 63.2% (72/114)].

CONCLUSIONSFemales who are over 16 years old should pay more attention to the possibility of middle-severe calcification before harvesting rib cartilage. These patients should take CT examination if necessary. In addition, the patients who had previous operation, or traumatic history, rib deformity, or spine deformity should select the CT examination.

Objective: To study the influences of electrolytic voltages on chromatics of anodized titanium. Methods:Titanium specimens were anodized in 0.5 mol/L sulfuric acid and 0.2 mol/L phosphate acid electrolyte using different voltages. The colors of anodized titanium were measured with a computer controlled spectrophotometer, and then evaluated in the CIE1976L*a*b* uniform color scale and Mussell notation. Result: One given volt created one distinguished color. The chromatic values expressed in L*a*b* were fluctuated in different voltage conditions. The hues in Mussell notation were distributed widely within R,Y,G,P of 5 basic colors and YR,GY,BG,PB of 5 interspace colors in the range of 5 to 80 volts. Anodizing with 10 or 45 volts, the specimen's colors appeared two kinds of brilliant goldish yellow, the former reddish slightly and latter greenish a little. The spectrums of the two colors were in the range of wavelengths of yellow to red. Conclusion: The color of the anodized titanium is dependent upon the volts applied. The goldish yellow may be used to improve the esthetics of titanium dentures.

Abstract: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global public health problem due to its highly contagious nature. This article aims to discuss the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, and to provide a basis for traditional Chinese medicine research and scientific and standardized treatment of COVID-19.In this article, the etiology, pathogenesis, treatment plan and research progress were summarized, analyzed and concluded by retrieving and reviewing the literature and clinical reports related to the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 with traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has obvious effects in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, improvement of clinical symptoms, and control of disease progression, which had the unique advantages of mild curative efficacy and safety. It has important practical significance in relieving patients' early symptoms and reducing the incidence of progression from mild to severe, and had great potential for development in the treatment of COVID-19. The traditional Chinese medicine intervention and the formulation of diagnosis and treatment plans for the COVID-19 need to be continuously optimized and improved. Scientific and rational application of traditional Chinese medicine to prevent and treat COVID-19, optimization diagnosis and treatment programs, and in-depth exploration of pharmacological mechanisms, especially the provide reference for early intervention of new coronavirus pneumonia by traditional Chinese medicine, the control of disease progression in the middle stage, and improve prognosis in the late stage with Western medicine.

Objective To assess the potential of whole blood IFN-γassay for diagnosing mycobacterium in rhesus macaques.Methods Firstly, basic serum IFN-γconcentrations of TST-negative and -positive rhesus macaques were detected.Then, heparinized whole blood from TST-negative and-positive rhesus macaques was incubated with PBS and 200 IU bovine-PPD ( tuberculin purified protein derivative ) for about 24 h, respectively.The supernatant plasma were harvested and used to determine the concentrations of IFN-γ.The results of plasma IFN-γconcentrations and stimulation index ( SI) were used to analyze the diagnostic potential of the whole blood IFN-γassay.Results The basic serum concentrations of IFN-γfor the TST-positive monkeys were significantly higher than that of the TST-negative macaques, showing a high coefficient of variation.There was no significant effect on the production of IFN-γin the TST-negative macaques.While significantly elevation of IFN-γconcentrations was found in stimulated plasma of TST-positive macaques (P<0.01).The SI of TST-positive macaques was significantly higher than the TST-negative ones.ROC curve analysis revealed that IFN-γconcentrations and SI could be used as evaluation index of whole blood IFN-γassay.Conclusions Based on a small sample experiment we have demonstrated that whole blood IFN-γassay may be one possible auxiliary diagnostic method for tuberculin skin test.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and laparoscopic bile duct exploration lithotomy (LBDEL) in treatment of intra/extra-hepatic duct stones. Methods There were 110 patients whose intrahepatic stones located in Ⅰ , Ⅱ hepatic duct and 378 patients whose stones only located in the common bile duct. These patients respectively underwent LBDE combined with choledochoscope laser lithotripsy or ERCP combined with endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) to remove the stones. Common bile ducts were performed primary suture or T tube placement in the LBDEL cases. The evaluation was carried out for perioperative complications and postoperative recovery of the surgical methods. Results The residual stone rate was 31.82% in 110 cases. The rate was higher in ERCP group (51.06%) than that in LBDEL group (17.46%) (P < 0.05). Postoperative recovery was better in LBDEL group than that in ERCP group. The residual stone rate was 8.20% in 378 cases. The rate was lower in ERCP group (3.68%) than that in LBDEL group(11.63%) (P < 0.05). Between the two groups, there had no statistical significance in postoperative recovery. The incidences of bile leakage and pulmonary infection were higher in LBDEL group than in ERCP group. The incidences of abdominal cavity infection, acute pancreatitis, digestive tract perforation and gastrointestinal bleeding were higher in ERCP group than that in LBDEL group. 2 of the 378 patients occurred death were happened digestive tract perforation which were induced during ERCP procedure. Conclusion LBDEL and ERCP demonstrated the same therapeutic effects in the treatment of common bile duct stones. However, ERCP has no large advantages in the treatment of hepatolithiasis, and shows higher complication rates. LBDEL has a significant curative effect for intra-and extrahepatic bile duct calculi and can maintain the integrity of Oddi sphincter. This technology is easy to spread to the basic-level hospital to benefit the majority of patients.

Objective The results and side effects of nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated by combined external radiotherapy and Californium -252 neutron after loading intracavitary radiotherapy. Methods From November 2005 to March 2007, 30 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with staged T1 and T2 by 1992 Fuzhou staging system, were treated by external beam radiotherapy combined with Californium-252 neutron after loading intraeavitary radiotherapy. Results All patients were followed up for 2 years. 2 cases recurred in the nasopharynx. 4 cases developed distant metastases. 2 cases developed trismus. No perforations in hand and soft palate occurred. Conclusion External beam radiotherapy combined with Californian-252 neutron after loading intracavitary radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is indicated for boosting the dose to the nasopharyngeal cavity; reducing the dose for external irradiation. It can improve local control rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and reduce occur rate for the trismus.

Objective:To observe modulation of gut functions and intestinal mucosal immune barrier by ShengJiangXieXinTang in rats receiving Irinotecan(CPT-11).Methods:Sprague Dawley male rats(n=18)were randomly assigned to three groups:(1)herb group (using ShengJiangXieXinTang by oral administration once a day from day 1 to day 9 and being injected with 150 mg/kg?d CPT-11 on day 4 and 5 into the tail vein); (2)diarrhea control group: using distilled water instead of ShengJiangXieXinTang,with the same treatment of CPT-11 as the herb group; (3)normal control group: using normal saline instead of CPT-11, distilled water instead of ShengJiangXieXinTang,and with the same treatment of as the CPT-11 herb group.The animals were scored in terms of delayed-onset of diarrhea. Rats were killed on day 10,collecting ileum,cecum and colon for pathological examination.The damages in intestinal mucosa were assessed under light microscope according to the criterion of chiu's score.CD4+,CD8+T-lymphocytes and SIgA were enumerated by immunohistochemical staining and calculated by imaging analyzer.Results:Compared with diarrhea control group,the incidence of diarrhea and the damage in intestinal mucosa of the herb group was milder(P
