Objective To investigate the relationship of serum levels of C-reactve protein (CRP) with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Method Thirty-six patients with DCM were recruited as DCM group and thirty healthy people as the control. Serum levels of CRP in all subjects were determined by immunoturbidimetry. Results Compared with control group, the serum levels of CRP in patients with DCM were singnificantly increased by about 3.7 folds[(6.95?1.37)mg/dL vs.(1.89?0.38) mg/dL, P

Policosanol is a new drug for regulating lipid,which can inhibit cholesterin synthesis and increase blood clearance of low-density lipoprotein(LDL).It has similar effect as statins and its clinical efficiency,safety and tolerance for special people such as the old and those with hepatopath have been confirmed by many clinical studies.Policosanol combined with statins or fibrates is also safe,which can be used as primary prevention for the patients with hypercholesterinemia,high low-density lipoprotein-cholesterolor low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and as secondary prevention for the patients who could not tolerate other lipid-regulating drugs.The long-term clinical effect of Policosanol on the risk factors of atherosclerosis need further researches.

0.05),however,a difference was found in peritumoral region between high-grade gliomas[(1.41?0.288)?10(-9)mm2/s] and metastatic lesions[(1.66?0.164)?10(-9)mm2/s](P0.05).Conclusion Peritumoral MD can be used to distinguish high-grade glilmas from metastatic tumors.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of the early slope value of enhancement in differentiating benign from malignant musculoskeletal masses.Methods Dynamic contrast-enhanced gradient-recalled acquisition in the steady state imaging(GRASS) was performed to evaluate 36 musculoskeletal masses(18 malignant,18 benign).The difference of the early slope value of enhancement was analysed and compared between benign lesions and malignant ones.Using ROC curve plotting obtained the best decisive threshold.Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to determine the relation between slope and microvessel density of tumor tissues.Results The average early slope value of enhancement was (4.33?2.70)% per second (range 0.97%～10.50% per second)for malignant lesions,and was (1.46?0.97)% per second(range 0.37%～3.86% per second)for benign ones.There was an apparent statistical significance between benign and malignant tumors(?

Objective To study the changes of cytokines in aqueous humor of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR)after intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) and the correlation of these cytokines.Methods Fifty-six patients(63 eyes) with severe PDR underwent pars piana vitrectomy (PPV) with IVB pretreatment in our hospital from April,2014 to February,2015 were collected.All the patients received IVB therapy from 3 days to 7 days before PPV.Aqueous humor samples were collected at the time of IVB and PPV treatment.The concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),interleukin-6 (IL-6),interleukin-8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) were measured by cytoinetric bead array (CBA).The changes of these cyto-kines after IVB were analyzed by using Wilcoxon rank sum test for paired data.The correlation between these cytokines was analyzed by using Spearman rank test.Results From 3 days to 7 days after IVB,the concentration of VEGF in aqueous humor was (6.57 ± 12.29)pg · mL-1,lower than the pre-operation of (278.71 ±340.20)pg · mL-1,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The concentration of IL-8 was (385.60 ± 1099.47) pg · mL-1,higher than pre-operation of(298.87 ± 1005.79) pg ·mL-1,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).IL-6 and MCP-1 were increased after IVB,but the difference was not statistically significant (all P ＞ 0.05).VEGF,IL-6,IL-8 and MCP-1 had an obviously relationship between each two factors(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Angiogenesis in patients with PDR are regulated by a variety of cytokines,and targeted reduction of VEGF may compensatory increase the concentration of other inflammatory cytokines.

Objective To compare the effect between i-gel mask and SHPA mask in the airway management of general anesthesia.Methods Sixty patients of general anesthesia with ASA I or Ⅱ were randomly divided into two groups:i-gel mask group (30 cases) and SLIPA group(30 cases).After intubation and general anesthesia,fiberoptic bronchoscopy was used to detect and evaluate.The peak airway pressure,mean airway pressure,condition of the laryngeal mask intubation,time of intubation,time of extubation,time of recovery and the side effect occurrence of extubation were recorded.Results The time of anesthesia,time of operation,time of extubation,time of recovery,achievement ratio of first time,achievement ratio of second time,time of intubation,peak airway pressure and mean airway pressure had no significant difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The airway seal pressure in i-gel mask group was significantly higher than that in SL1PA group [(29 + 6) cm H2O (1 c m H2O =0.098 kPa) vs.(23 ± 4) cm H2O] (P ＜ 0.05).For the grade of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in i-gel mask group,there was 27 patients in I grade,3 patients in Ⅱ grade.But in SL1PA group,there was 3 patients in I grade,4 patients in Ⅱ grade,13 patients in Ⅲ grade,10 patients in ⅣVgrade.There was significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).There were none of regurgitation in two groups.Conclusions The i-gel mask and SLIPA mask can provide the same effective ventilation.The i-gel mask has higher airway seal pressure,less side effect during the intubation and extubation,and have better airway management of general anesthesia.

The community - based healthcare service is a main component of healthcare service system in China,and its development is affected by several factors including correlative ethical issues.In order to maintain a long - term and stable development of community - based healthcare service,great importance should be attached to some concerned ethical issues,such as the human - oriented service,intimacy of patients,the interests of disadvantaged group,etc.

Objective: To study the selenium(Se) chemical forms in Se enriched tea by fertilizing sodiums selenite in soil and tea naturally high in Se and compare their antioxidant function. Methods: The Se enriched tea was produced by fertilization of sodium selenite through biological transformation of tea tree in low Se content soil. Five groups of rats were fed basal low Se diet and basal diet with sodium selenite, extractions of low Se tea, Se enriched tea by fertilizing with sodium selenite, and tea naturally high in Se. The Se chemical forms and antioxidant function of rats fed with different Se resource were detemined after 8 wks. Results: The proportion of organic forms of Se and Se protein were almost the same in Se enriched tea and tea naturally high in Se. The Se absorption and utilization rates were 65.41%, 68.05% ,and 70.49% for sodium selenite, Se enriched tea and tea naturally high in Se respectively. It showed that the availability of Se in Se enriched tea was higher than that in sodium selenite. The Se content of blood and liver, GSH Px activity were significantly increased by feeding extraction of Se enriched tea compared with control, sodium selenite and low Se tea.. Conclusion: The biological effect of organic form Se in Se enriched tea is higher than that of sodium selenite, and the Se enriched tea produced by fertilizing sodium selenite in low Se soil is as effective as tea naturally high in Se. The Se enriched tea is safe and effective in increasing the Se intake of both human and animals in low Se area.
