Fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1 D) has been identified as a new subtype of idiopathic diabetes.FT1D is characterized by abrupt and complete destruction of pancreatic β cells,with diabetic ketosis or diabetic ketoacidosis occurring within a week after the onset of hyperglycemic symptoms.At the time of initial presentation,plasma glucose level is increased,with near normal HbA1C.Serum pancreatic enzyme is elevated in the majority of patients with FT1D.Flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms precede disease onset in most of patients.However,the pathogenesis of this disease remains unclear.Factors such as viral infection,autoimmune,and pregnancy based on the background of genes may account for FT1D.We herewith report two cases of FT1 D,and review its clinical features,diagnosis,and treatment.

A new cool-tip radiofrequency (RF) ablation therapeutic instrument based on impedance control algorithm is introduced in this paper. The equipment is composed of hardware system and software system. The RF power output and real time data acquisition are completed by the hardware system, while the software is used mainly to finish the control of the ablation range, the core of which is impedance control algorithm, and it also used to complete the display of the real time data in the course of the experiment. The impedance algorithm has solved the problem of impedance increased rapidly during the RF ablation, which has also expanded the scope of ablation. The pig liver experiments showed that the impedance control algorithm had strong adaptability. It also obtained a result of ablation range up to 3.5-4.5 cm single needle. It has the high clinical practical value of one-time inactivation of 3-5 cm tumor.
