Objective · To investigate the effect of metformin on insulin resistance (IR)-related metabolic parameters in olanzapine-bearing rats.Methods · Thirty female SD rats were randomly divided into metformin intervention group, olanzapine group and control group. During the first 6 weeks,5 mg /(kg·d) olanzapine was given to the two test groups . The control group was given the same amount of saline. From the 7th week, the intervention group began to combine with metformin 500 mg / (kg·d), while the olanzapine group combined with the same amount of saline, continuing for 4 weeks.At the end of 6th week and 10th week, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance and homeostasis model assessment IR index were assessed. Results · The area under the glucose tolerance curve (P=0.040) and the IR index (P=0.000) were significantly higher for the intervention group and the olanzapine group than the control group at the end of 6th week. At the 10th weekend, the glucose tolerance (P=0.015) and IR index in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the olanzapine group (P=0.001). Conclusion · Metformin may rectify the impaired glucose tolerance and improve IR induced by olanzapine partly.

Objective: To establish an HPLC-fluorescence detection method for the determination of thioguanosine-monophosphate (TGMP), thioguanosine-diphosphate (TGDP) and thioguanosine-triphosphate (TGTP) in red blood cells (RBC), as well as quantify the individual thioguanine nucleotides metabolites in kidney transplant recipients with azathioprine (AZA) therapy.Methods: The individual thioguanosine phosphates were extracted from RBC by dichloromethane and subsequently oxidized by potassium permanganate.The separation was achieved on a Nucleosil C18 column (150 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm) with an ion pairing reagent and detected by a fluorescence detector (excitation at 315 nm, emission at 390 nm).The mobile phase consisted of 20 mmol·L-1 potassium phosphate buffer (pH was adjusted to 6.8 by 5 mmol·L-1 tetrabutylammonium hydrogensulfate)-acetonitril (80:20) with the flow rate of 1.0 ml·min-1.Results: TGMP, TGDP and TGTP were quantified from RBC within the range of 50-500, 50-1000 and 100-5 000 pmol·ml-1, respectively.The limit of quantification (LOQ) was 50, 50 and 100 pmol·ml-1 RBC for TGMP, TGDP and TGTP, respectively.The intra-and inter-day RSDs were below 7.0% with the method recovery between 95.0% and 103.6%.The mean extraction recovery was above 90%.The assay was applied in the blood samples of 30 kidney transplant recipients with AZA therapy, and the results indicated that TGTP was the predominant phosphate metabolite in RBC.Conclusion: The method is simple, rapid, sensitive and specific, and it can quantitatively determine the individual thioguanosine phosphates in RBC of kidney transplant recipients with AZA therapy.

Objective To evaluate the use of transfer statements in inhouse transport of critical patients.Methods By means of continuous enrollment,123 critical patients were enrolled as a control group for conventional transport,and 111 such patients were enrolled as an observation group for transport using the transfer statement.Then the incidence of adverse events,transport during and nurse-nurse collaboration level of the two groups were compared.Results In the control group,its incidence of adverse events was 13.8%,the mean transport during was(19.5 ± 8.4)minutes,and the mean score for nurse-nurse collaboration level was ( 101.87 ± 7.13 ).In the observation group,its incidence of adverse events was 5.4%,the mean transport during was(13.5 ± 5.4)minutes,and the mean score for nurse-nurse collaboration level was(106.15 ± 8.86).Implementing the transfer statement has cut back the incidence of adverse events (P<0.05)and the transport duration significantly(t=3.833,P<0.01),while improving the level of nurse-nurse cooperation significantly(t= -4.261,P<0.05).Conclusions The transfer statement can increase the safety of patient transport,promote organization and coordination of nurses,and improve the efficiency of transport.

Objective To explore the three criteria of Ranson,CT severity index (CTSI) and the bedside index of severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP) in assessment of severity and prognosis of acute pancreatitis.Methods A total of 503 diagnosed acute pancreatitis patients from January 2008 to April 2011 were studied retrospectively,including 356 mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) cases and 147 severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) cases.The differences of the three criteria of Rason,CTSI and BISAP in assessment of severity and prognosis of acute pancreatitis were compared with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.The SAP group was divided into no organ failure group and organ failure group,and the predictive value of the three criteria in acute pancreatitis with organ failure was compared.Results There was significant differences between MAP group and SAP group with Rason,CTSI and BISAP score (x2 =236.88、126.24 and 101.27,P＜0.01).The sensitivity (97.3％) and AUC value (0.93) of Ranson criterion was highest.In no organ failure group and organ failure group of 147 SAP patients,there was significant difference between Ranson criterion and BISAP criterion (x2 =17.67 and 26.12,P＜0.01),both sensitivity were 100％,the specificity were 96％ and 85％ respectively,and the area under ROC curve (AUC) value of BISAP criterion (0.8) was the highest.In illness improved group and deteriorated group,the difference of score between Ranson criterion and BISAP criterion was significant (x2 ＝ 9.53 and 10.19,P＜0.05),and the AUC value of BISAP criterion (0.74) was the highest.Conclusions All three criteria can be used to determine the severity of acute pancreatitis.In predicting the risk of SAP with organ failure and prognosis,BISAP criterion is better than Ranson criterion.BISAP criterion is simple and easy to practice,which provides an important rule for evaluating the clinical condition of acute pancreatitis.
