Objecttve To explore the relationship between urine albumin and serum bilirubin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods A total of 435 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from June 2011 to May 2012 were divided into 3 groups according to 24 hours urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER):normal albuminuria group (UAER ≤ 20 μg/min) in 217 cases; microalbuminuria group (UAER 21-199 μg/min,early diabetic nephropathy group) in 107 cases; great albuminuria group (UAER ≥200 μ g/min,clinical diabetic nephropathy group) in 111 cases.The difference of serum bilirubin level was compared among 3 groups.The risk factors were analyzed by multiple factors unconditional Logistic stepwise regression analysis.Results The serum total bilirubin,direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin was (9.55 ± 3.48),(2.44 ± 1.03) and (7.11 ± 3.51) μ mol/L in clinical diabetic nephropathy group,which was lower than that in early diabetic nephropathy group[(10.92 ± 3.70),(2.71 ± 1.15),(8.23 ± 3.71) μ mol/L]and normal albuminuria group [(14.67 ±4.59),(2.86 ± 1.34),(11.84 ±4.48)μmol/L],and there was significant difference (P ＜0.05).Unconditional Logistic stepwise regression analysis showed that the correlation existed between glycosylated hemoglobin,blood uric acid,high density lipoprotein cholesferol and total bilirubin and diabetic nephropathy.Serum total bilirubin,high density lipoprotein cholesferol was protective factor,glycosylated hemoglobin,blood uric acid was risk factor.Conclusion High serum bilirubin level is conducive to fight oxidative stress,reduce inflammation,prevent lipid peroxidation,and suppress or delay the occurrence and development of diabetic nephropathy.

0.05).Conclusion ABO-incompatible allo-PBSCT is fairly safe if there is indication. There was no influence on engraftment, incidence of GVHD or prognosis. However, an O to A group transplantation contributes significantly to the post-transplant PRCA.

Aim To investigate the effects of chloride on the injury of the ventricular myocytes from anoxia-reoxygenation. Methods Under the conditions of anoxia-reoxygenation injury, primary cultured rat ventricular myocytes were treated with 4-acetanide- 4′-isothiocya- natostilbene -2,2′-disulfonic acid (SITS),4,4′,-dii sothiocya-nostilbene-2,2′-disulfonicacid (DIDS) or replaced Cl~- with equimolar gluconate, respectively. Then the cell viability and the contents of Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD)and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the media were measured. Results The release of LDH and MDA was significantly increased in the anoxia-reoxygenation group, while the cell viability and the activity of SOD, GSH-Px decreased significantly compared with those in the control group. In both Cl~--free+ A-R group and SITS+A-R group, LDH and MDA release was noticeably lower than those of the A-R group, while the cell viability and the activity of SOD, GSH-Px significantly increased compared with those in the anoxia-reoxygenation group. But the cell viability and the contents of LDH, MDA, SOD and GSH-Px in the DIDS+A-R group had no significant change compared with those in the anoxia-reoxygenation group.Conclusion Cl~- plays an important role in anoxia reoxygenation injury. SITS provides effective protection to the cardiac myocyte subjected to anoxia reoxygenation injury, while DIDS cannot provide such protection.

Objective To study the types of autoantibodies in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis.Methods There were 60 patients with primary biliary cirrhosis from January 1995 to December 2004 in People's Hospital. We analyzed those patients' autoantibodies results and clinical data.Results There were 75% patients with anti-mitochondrial antibody(45/60),and antinuclear antibodies were detected in 60%(36/60)PBC patients,with the following hierarchy of specificities:23%(14/60)speckled,20%(12/60)multiple nuclear dots,16%(10/60)nuclear membranous,6%(6/60)anti-centromere,1.6%(1/60)homogeneous,20%(12/60)anti-SSA,10%(6/60)anti-SSB and 1.6%(1/60)anti-RNP. Several patients showed multiple specificities. Comparing PBC patients with or without AMA,no statistically significant difference was found on ages,biochemical and immunological parameters.Conclusion AMA-negative PBC patients share the same clinical features with AMA-passive PBC. Except for AMA,other antibodies may present in PBC patients. Multiple nuclear dots and nuclear member antinuclear antibodies may be helpful for diagnosing PBC patients without AMA.

Objective To investigate the expression of myeloid antigen(MyAg) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and its correlation with clinical characteristics and prognosis.Methods The clinical data of 103 newly diagnosed ALL 1patients were retrospectively analyzed.These patients were divided into myeloid antigen-positive group (MyAg+ ALL) and myeloid antigen-negative group(MyAgALL) based on the flow cytometry(FCM) analysis in bone marrow.The correlation of MyAg expression with the clinical features,short-term efficacy and 5-year overall survival were assessed in the two groups.Results MyAg expression was detected in 46.5％ out of 103 cases and CD13,CD33 were the most commonly expressed MyAg(34.2％ and 21.4％ respectively).The expression of CD34 in MyAg+ ALL group was higher than MyAgALL group(75.3％ vs 60.5％,P ＜0.05).The expression of MyAg in T-ALL group (66.7％) was higher than B-ALL group (42.8％) (P ＜ 0.05).The clinical and biological characteristics of ALL patients between MyAg+ and MyAggroups showed that higher percentage of incoincidence of classification between morphology and immunology.Conclusion MyAg expression was not correlated with clinical characteristics and prognosis of ALL patients.

Purpose: To investigate a clinical treatment for allergic asthma. Method: Acupoint application was used, and its effect was compared with that of Western medicine to evaluate the results. Results and Conclusion: It was found that the long-tern effect of acupoint application was significantly better than that of aminophylline; acupoint application had obviously different effects on different types of asthma based on TCM differentiation of syndromes; its short-term effect was not significantly related to the course and condition of the disease. It is indicated that acupoint application is an effective, convenient and safe treatment with little side effect for asthma.

【Objective】To observe the effect of acupoint external application of herbal drugs on pathological changes of nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis mice. 【Methods】 Sixty BALB/c mice were divided into 5 groups: A(normal),B(model),C(treated with external application of herbal drugs on acupoints),D(treated with dexamethasone) and E(treated with PBS).Except group A,the mice in other groups were sensitized by ovalbumin(OVA).On the 15~(th) of the first sensitization,group C received external application of medicinal disc(mainly composed of Semen Sinapis, Rhizoma Corydalis,Herba Asari,Radix Kansui,Fructus Xanthii,etc.) on Dazhui (GV14)point,group D received intraperitoneal injection of 0.1?g/L dexamethasone(0.5?mL for each mouse) one hour before nasal dripping of OVA solution,and group E received external application of paper disc on Dazhui point and intraperitoneal injection of(0.1?g/L) PBS(0.5 mL for each mouse) one hour before nasal dripping of OVA solution,qd,for 4 weeks.After treatment,the mice were executed and the nasal mucosa was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde.Routine paraffin slices were prepared and stained by haematoxylin and eosin.The pathological features of nasal mucosa were observed under light microscope,and eosinophil(EOS),neutrophil and lymphocyte count was performed in different groups.【Results】Compared to group A,the infiltration of EOS and neutrophil in nasal mucosa was obvious in group B(P0.05).【Conclusion】The infiltration of EOS in nasal mucosa plays an important role in the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis and the decrease of EOS infiltration may be one of the therapeutic mechanism of external application of herbal drugs on acupoints for allergic rhinitis.

BACKGROUND: There are some studies proposing cell membrane may be one of target cell regions for electromagnetic biological effects. However, reports responsible for cellular membrane permeability and cellular biological effects after electromagnetic irradiation are few. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to investigate the correlations of low-power millimeter wave irradiation to cellular membrane permeability and apoptosis of HL60.DESIGN: Controlled experiment.SETTING: Thus study was performed at the Medical Experimental Central Laboratory, Guangzhou General Hospital,Guangzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA between November 2006 and April 2007. MATERIALS: The human leukemic cell lines HL60 were kindly provided by Medical Experimental Center of Guangzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA and HD-413.2HPSG 100 millimeter wave irradiation generator was developed by Xi'an Hengda Microwave Technology Development Company, China. METHODS: HL60 cells were irradiated by millimeter wave at frequency of 41.32 GHz and mean power density of 2 mW/cm2, and divided into five groups according to the irradiation time (0, 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes groups).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Lanthanum tracing was used to observe intracellular and extracellular lanthanum particles distribution and evaluate the change of cellular membrane permeability; ultrastructure and morphological characteristics of HL60 cells were observed through an transmission electron microscope; Quantitative analysis of apoptotic cells was performed by in situ marking method. RESULTS: In the 45 and 60 minutes groups, a small amount of lanthanum particles in the cytoplasm, swollen mitochondria, expanded rough endoplasmic reticulum, and obvious apoptosis were detected by ultrastructure observation. TUNEL staining showed, compared with the 0 minute control group, the apoptosis rate showed a trend of elevation in all the irradiation groups, particularly in the 45 and 60 minutes groups. CONCLUSION: Low-power millimeter wave irradiation on HL60 cells can lead to an increase in cellular membrane permeability of HL60, which may be one of the primary causes for promoting apoptosis and producing other biological effects.

Objective To discuss how to practise and consummate to shoot and assess the portfilm for radiotherapy. Methods Double radiography technique was used to take a portfilm. The reference mark points (plumbum points) were added into the field at the first exposure and the cross lines drawn based on the plumbum point images were definited as the reference coordinate to the actual field. Then, the portfilm was compared and analyzed with the simulator planning film. Results The images of both plumbum points and block boundaries were distinct in the portfilm, but the resolution and contrast of the tissue structure image was inferior to the ordinary film from simulator. However, all different structures and positions could be identified in order to assess if the actual field coincided with the radiation planning. Conclusions Although the real-time property of the portfilm is inferior to the electric portal image device (EPID), the double radiography portfilm is feasible as an important quality control method in radiation therapy due to its lower price and easier performance. The design of reference points is the key point in this technique.
