Objective To know the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and its risk factors in the elderly in Gushan Town, Fuzhou City. Methods From July to November of 2007, 4653 elderly permanent residents from 14 administrative units were selected using random cluster sampling. Results The prevalence of elderly type 2 diabetes was 11.2%. Non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed that age, occupation, monthly income (OR=1.42, 95%CI: 1.13～1.77), family history of diabetes (OR=6.49, 95%CI: 4.62～9.10), concen- tric obesity (OR=1.47, 95%CI: 1.15～1.88) were independent risk factors for diabetes. Conclusion The type 2 diabetes prevalence rate of the elderly was higher, and the health education and interventions should be strengthened to the people who have family history of diabetes and concentric obesity.

To find a new way to treat patients with ectopic eruption of canine or impaction canine,autogenous transplantation of those teeth was explored and had good results.

Objective To study the clinical and MRI features of central pontine myelinolysis after liver transplantation.Methods 3 cases of orthotopic liver transplantation patients,displaying unconsciousness,drowsiness,reduced muscle strength of both lower extremities 3 to 21 days after the operation respectively,went through MRI scan in 2 days.Results MRI showed that symmetric long T1 and T2 signals,high-signal-intensity DWI and low-signal-intensity ADC were found in central pontine region.The cerebral cortex was involved in 2 cases,and abscess in basal ganglia appeared in 1 case.MRI examination showed that 2 cases had decreased lesion range,clear boundary and equal-signal-intensity DWI 35 days and 2 months respectively after.Conclusion MRI is valuable for the diagnosis of the patient with central pontine myelinolysis after liver transplantation.

0.05). In the general anesthesia group, glucose level at 10 minutes after pneumoperitoneum was significantly lower than that before anesthesia (P0.05). Conclusion Both epidural and general anesthesia can effectively inhibit the patients' stress response in laparoscopic gynecological operation.

Objective To evaluate the difference of myocardium strain between myocadial infarction and ventricular aneurysm (VA) by two-dimensional speckle-tracking imaging in rabbits.Methods 26 healthy New Zealand white rabbits were enrolled in this study,6 were put into the control group and 20 in the experimental group.models of myocardial infarction concomitant with VA were prepared by the ligation of the middle segment of left anterior descending artery and left circumflex artery.At 4 weeks after the procedure,according to the pathological inspect and echocardiography for whether VA formed,the experimental animals were divided into the VA group and the myocadial infarction group.Echocardiography was performed to measure the LV cavity size and cardiac function.Radial strain rate (SrR) and circumferential strain rate(SrC) indexes were measured by 2D-STI software for each animal at the level of apex in left ventricular short-axis view,and then calculated the strain rate decrease percentage in each segment.Results 1)Compared with the control group,SrR-S,SrR-E,SrR A,SrC-S,SrC-E,SrC-A in all segments were reduced significantly in the VA group and the myocadial infarction group (P ＜ 0.05),the VA group was the most significant.2)Compared with the myocadial infarction group,the strain rate decrease percentage of SrR-S,SrR-E,SrR-A,SrC-S,SrC-E,SrC-A in all segment had significant in the VA group.Comparison between the each section,the strain rate decrease percentage of SrR-Santerior wall,SrR-Sateral wall,SrC-Santerior wall,SrC-Slateral wall were the most significant.3)There were the tighter relationship between the strain rate decrease percentage of SrR-Santerior wall,SrC-Santerior wall,SrR-Slateral wall,SrC-Slateral wall and left ventricular ejection fraction (r =0.82,0.72,0.75,0.71,repectively,all P ＜ 0.05).4) The ROC curve analysis showed that when the strain rate decrease percentage was 60％ as the critical point,the strain rate decrease percentage of SrC-Santerior wall,SrC-Slateral wall,SrR-Santerior wall,SrR-Slateral wall had a sensitivity of 83.30 ％,84.40％,83.30％,67.70％％ and a specificity was 73.60％,78.20％％,69.70％,83.30％ for prognosis ventricular aneurysm,repectively.Conclusions After ventricular aneurysm formation,anterior and lateral wall myocardial strain were give priority to the myocardial mechanics reconstruction,thus systolic myocardial strain rate decrease percentage can be important indicator of infarction myocardial developing into ventricular aneurysm.

AIM:To find out the mean corneal spherical aberration and its changes with age in Kaifeng population.
METHODS: A total of 466 eyes of 427 Kaifeng subjects with cataract, whose age ranged from 52 to 75 years old, were divided into three groups according to the age. All the subjects were included in measuring K-readings of cornea, the corneal anterior and posterior surfaces of the spherical aberration and the total corneal spherical aberration using Pentacam(Oculus, Germany) at the 6-mm optical zone.
RESULTS:The mean corneal spherical aberration( CSA) of the whole groups was 0. 339±0. 153μm. Patients from 50 to 60 years old had CSA of 0. 322±0. 137μm, 0. 326±0.157μm was the CSA of the patients from 60 to 70 years old, while those from 70 to 80 years old have a CSA of 0.401 ± 0. 182μm. The corneal K - readings had no correlation with the total corneal spherical aberration ( r=0. 034, P>0. 05), anterior surfaces CSA, posterior surfaces and total CSA were positively correlated with age ( r =0.253, 0. 327, 0. 233, all P<0. 01).
CONCLUSION:CSA is varied among the population and CSA of elderly in Kaifeng area are slightly higher than white people, and positively correlated with age.

Objective To prepare monoclonal antibody specifically against carcinoembryonic antigen glypican-3 (GPC3) and its preliminary application. Methods GPC3 was cloned with PCR to pET16b vector and expressed in E. co-liBL21. Spleen cells were obtained from Balb/c mice embedding immunized with purified antigen intraperitoneally, and fused with Sp2/0 cells. Hybridoma cells were screened by indirect ELISA, and identified by Western blot assay using puri-fied protein after the cell fusion. The indirect immunofluorescence method was used to detect the GPC3 expression in HepG2 cell line. Results The prokaryotic expression vector of GPC3 was successfully constructed, and GPC3 was stably expressed in E. coliBL21. A mouse hybridoma cell line secreting monoclonal antibody to GPC3 was obtained. Western blot analysis showed that monoclonal antibody specifically recognized recombinant protein. Monoclonal antibody could be used to detect GPC3 protein expression in HepG2 cell line by indirect immunofluorescence. Conclusion The monoclonal antibody against GPC3 was successfully obtained.
