Objective To investigate the relationships between serum concentration of RBP-4 and the parameters of inflammatory, lipid metabolism, insulin resistance in patients with T2DM. Methods 71 patients newly diagnosed with T2DM and 34 subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Additionally, another subset analysis was performed. Subjects were divided into normal weight (NW) and overweight or obesity (OW/OB) group on the basis of BMI. Serum RBP-4 was measured with ELISA. Serum concentrations of hs-CRP, free fatty acids (FFA), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and insulin were measured in fasting status. Insulin resistance was assessed by HOMA-IR. Results Ln (HOMA-IR) and the concentrations of TG, FFA, In(hs-CRP) in T2DM were significant-ly higher than that of NGR group[1.20±0.38 vs 0.76±0.34,(2.74±2. 20)mmol/L vs (1.88±1.41),(0. 80±0. 29)mmol/L vs (0.61±0.22)retool/L,0.62±1.00 vs -0. 17±1.07] . InRBP-4 showed a positive relationship with In (HOMA-IR) ( r =0. 382, P <0. 05), but no association with TC, TG, FFA and In(hs-CRP). In the group of T2DM, InRBP-4 showed a positive relationship with FFA ( r =0. 242, P <0.05) and In (hs-CRP) ( r =0.346, P <0.01), but no association with TC, TG and In (HOMA-IR). There were no relationships between InRBP-4 and In (HOMA-IR), TC, TG, FFA and In (hs-CRP)in NW, while in OW/OB group, InRBP-4 showed a positive relationship with In (HOMA-IR) ( r =0. 290,P < 0. 05 ) and In (hs-CRP) ( r = 0. 295, P <0.05 ), but no association with TC, TG and FFA. In a mul-tiple linear regression analysis, In( hs-CRP), TC, TG, FFA or In(HOMA-IR) was not the independent de-terminant of InRBP-4 in any group. Conclusion In patients with T2DM, InRBP-4 is positively correlatedwith In (hs-CRP) and FFA, and it may be a new marker of inflammation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of miR-154 on the apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells (HSC-T6). Methods:Hepat-ic stellate cells (HSC-T6) were transfected with miR-154 mimics and miR-154 inhibitor, and the cells were trandfected with mimics NC and inhibitor NC as the negative control. The effects of miR-154 on the proliferation of HSC-T6 were detected at different time points by CCK-8. A flow cytometry with double staining of Annexin and PI was used to detect the cell cycle and apoptosis rate of HSC-T6. Results:The proliferation ability of the cells was increased,the apoptosis rate was decreased significantly, and the proportion of cells in G0/G1 phase were decreased, and those in G2/M phase were increased significantly after transfected with miR-154 mimics. The proliferation ability of the cells was decreased,the apoptosis rate was increased significantly, and the proportion of cells in G0/G1 phase were increased, and those in G2/M phase were decreased significantly after transfected with miR-154 inhibitor. Conclusion:MiR-154 can promote the proliferation of HSC-T6 and inhibit the apoptosis of HSC-T6.

Objective:To summarize the single nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNPs) in ABCC2 and the effect on clinical drug appli-cation. Methods:According to the related articles published in domestic and abroad, the correlation between the single nucleotide pol-ymorphisms in ABCC2 and drug responses was classified and summarized. Results:ABCC2 translocator played an important role in the transmembrane transport of many physiological compounds and exogenous compounds. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the single nucleotide polymorphisms in ABCC2 possibly affected the expression or activity of ABCC2, which leading to the variation in the absorption, distribution and excretion of certain drugs and toxicants. However, the limitation and controversy were still emerged in the results. Conclusion:The influence of ABCC2 single nucleotide polymorphisms on clinical drug application shows significantly referen-tial value for the guidance of medication and the evaluation of efficacy, however, it can not be used as the only indicator yet.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate nanocomplexes (CPP-ACP) and Duraphat varnish on preventing radiation caries and dentin hypersensitivity (DH) in irradiated head and neck cancer pa-tients. Methods:A total of 112 patients with head and neck cancer who will undergo radiotherapy were selected and randomly divided into the CPP-ACP group (experimental group) and the Duraphat varnish group (control group). A day prior to the scheduled radiothera-py, CPP-ACP containing paste had been applied once a day for 5 weeks to the teeth surface of the experimental group. Duraphat varnish was applied with the same frequency in the control group. The decay missing filling tooth (DMFT), decay missing filling surface (DMFS), and DH of two groups before radiotherapy and 12 months after radiotherapy were observed and statistically analyzed. Re-sults:Before radiotherapy, DMFT, DMFS, and DH showed no significant differences between the groups (P>0.05). However, signifi-cant increase in DMFT, DMFS, and DH was noted in the two groups 12 months after the radiotherapy (P<0.05). A higher increase was observed in the DMFT, DMFS, and DH of the control group compared with those in the experimental group (P<0.05). Conclusion:CPP-ACP effectively reduced radiation caries and sensitivity in irradiated head and neck cancer patients and deservesclinical applica-tion.

Objective:To investigate the changes of blood pressure and heart rate in patients aged over 80 years undergoing intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)drugs under topical anesthesia without anesthetic monitoring in ophthalmology surgery, and to analyze the potential risk for surgery-induced acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.Methods:This was a prospective observational cohort study.A total of 100 patients(aged 80 to 95 years, 47 males and 53 females)included 85 cases of wet age-related macular degeneration, 14 cases of retinal vein occlusion with macular edema, and 1 case of diabetic macular edema.These patients received anti-VEGF drugs injection, with accumulated injections of 1 to 36 times per patient.Blood pressure and heart rate were measured at visit to a medical clinic(as baseline), before operation, 0 min and 30 min after operation.The operation anxiety and pain scores were investigated by questionnaires.Comparison of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate among four different time points was performed by Wilcoxon symbol rank test.Results:At four different time points i. e.at the baseline, before injection, 0 min and 30 min after injection, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate showed an important regularity.The median systolic blood pressure at the four time points was 130(120-140)mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), 142(129-149)mmHg, 153(139-164)mmHg and 143(130-151)mmHg, with ranges of 100-160 mmHg, 106-176 mmHg, 118-197 mmHg and 115-187 mmHg, respectively.The median diastolic blood pressure at the four time points was 70(65-75)mmHg, 76(69-83)mmHg, 81(73-87)mmHg and 75(69~81)mmHg, with ranges of 45-90 mmHg, 55-98 mmHg, 58-99 mmHg and 50-93 mmHg, respectively.The median heart rate at the four time-points was 70(65-80)beats/min, 72.5(65-81)beats/min, 73(66-80)beats/min and 70(65-76)times/min, with ranges of 50-95 beats/min, 48-101 beats/min, 51-93 beats/min and 50-87 beats/min, respectively.Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were significantly increased from preoperative time to 0 min and 30 min after operation( P<0.01). Compared to the baseline, heart rate was increased before operation( P<0.01)and was decreased at 30 minutes after operation( P<0.01). Conclusions:Blood pressure fluctuation may exceed the safe range with an obvious increase of systolic blood pressure during the current intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs in the patients aged over 80 years.Systolic blood pressure rises significantly before operation and falls back after operation, but it may last till 30 minutes after operation.The range of heart rate change is relatively small.Perioperative management and monitoring measures should be strengthened to reduce the risk of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.

Objective:To investigate the surgical treatment for compression of inferior vena cava (IVC) by hepatic hydatid cyst.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 10 patients with hepatic hydatid cyst compressing inferior vena cava who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of School of Medicine of Shihezi University from May 2013 to May 2018 were collected. There were 7 males and 3 females, aged (46±5)years, with a range from 38 to 51 years. Patients underwent subadventitial close total pericystectomy, subadven-titial partial pericystectomy or subadventitial close total pericystectomy with partial IVC resection according to the relative distance between hepatic hydatid cyst and IVC, and the feasibility of total pericystectomy. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination or telephone interview. Patients were followed up at the outpatient department at postoperative 3, 6, 12, 24 months using color Doppler ultrasound examination to detect the recurrence of hepatic hydatid cyst and inferior vena cava occlusion. The endpoint of follow-up was 2 years after operation, and the secondary endpoint of follow-up was recurrence of hepatic hydatid cyst. The follow-up time was up to May 2020. Measure-ment data with normal distribution were represent as Mean±SD, and count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical situations: 10 patients underwent surgery successfully without massive hemorrhage and septic shock during the operation, including 7 patients undergoing subadventitial close total pericystectomy, 2 patients undergoing subadventitial partial pericys-tectomy, and 1 patient undergoing subadventitial close total pericystectomy with partial IVC resection. The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of 10 patients were (99±27)minutes and (99±48)mL, respectively. (2) Postoperative situations: the time to drainage tube removal and duration of postoperative hospital stay of 10 patients were 2-5 days and (7.1±1.8)days. None of patients underwent postoperative bleeding, residual cavity infection, biliary fistula, or perioperative death. (3) Follow-up: of 10 patients, 9 patients completed the endpoint of follow-up and no recurrence of hepatic hydatid cyst or inferior vena cava occlusion formation was detected. The other 1 patient was followed up at postoperative 3, 6 months but failed to be followed up at postoperative 12 months, and no recurrence of hepatic hydatid cyst or inferior vena cava occlusion formation was detected during the follow-up time.Conclusion:Complete resection of hepatic hydatid cyst can be achieved by subadventitial close total pericystectomy, subadventitial partial pericystectomy or subadventitial close total pericystectomy with partial IVC resection.
