Objective To observe the effect of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) on type 2 diabetic rats, and to explore the possible mechanism. Methods Type 2 diabetic rats were induced by high-fat diet combined with a low dosage of streptozotocin ( STZ, 25 mg/ kg). After 3 × 106 hMSCs suspended in 1 ml PBS or 1ml 10-fold concentrated hMSC supernatant were intravenously infused into the rats via the tail vein, the blood glucose levels were measured every day. One week later, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test and insulin tolerance test were performed to evaluate the effects of hMSCs on diabetic rats. Pancreatic tissues were collected for insulin/ glucagon immunofluorescence staining. Results After hMSCs infusion, blood glucose level and homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance index were significantly decreased in type 2 diabetic rats(both P<0. 01). The glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance were greatly alleviated by hMSCs(all P<0. 01). Intravenously infused 1ml 10-fold concentrated hMSC supernatant showed a similar result to hMSCs. Conclusion In type 2 diabetic rats, hMSCs are able to effectively lower the blood glucose level, improve insulin sensitivity, and increase the number of β cells, which seems to be mediated by their secreted molecules.

Objective To discuss the risk factors and prognosis of gynecologic cancer patients with deep venous thrombosis(DVT). Methods Data from gynecologic cancer patients diagnosed by cytology or histopathology in Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guangxi Medical University between Jan. 1994 and Sep. 2014 were collected,including 106 cases in the DVT group, according to 1:1 proportion by the computer random method to selecting patients without DVT as the control group. The follow-up deadline was March 31, 2015. The median follow-up time of DVT group was 27.0 months (range, 1 to 169 months), while the control groupwas 33.5 months (range,1 to 125 months). Univariate analysis was performed by two independent sample t test or χ2 test. Multivariate analysis was performed by logistic regression analysis. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to estimate the survival analysis. Results (1) The univariate analysis showed that body mass index (BMI), hypertension, diabetes, history of thrombosis, tumor stage, blood transfusion, stimulating factor, white blood cell (WBC), platelet (PLT), prothrombin time (PT) and fibrinogen (FIB) were statistically significant associated with DVT (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that tumor stage, stimulating factor, WBC, PT and FIB may be the independent risk factors of gynecologic cancer with DVT (P<0.05). (2) The median survival time in DVT group was 66 months, while the control group was 102 months(χ2=7.039, P=0.008). The overall survival and progression-free survival in the DVT group were statistically significant lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The tumor stage, the scope of DVT (whether with pulmonary embolism) and the treatment of DVT were the effective factors influenced the prognosis of gynecologic oncology patients with DVT (P<0.05). Cox regression model showed that tumor stage and the scope of DVT were the independent risk factors (P<0.01). Conclusions Gynecologic cancer with DVT is the common effect of various risk factors. We should identify the risk factors for high-risk patients and take preventive measures actively to reduce the deep venous thromboembolism, then improve the survival of patients and their prognosis.

Objective:To study the effect of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection on the standardized dose of postoperative thyrotropin suppression of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.Methods:A total of 82 patients diagnosed with differentiated thyroid carcinoma and receiving total thyroidectomy in Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from Jan. 2019 to Jun. 2020 were enrolled in this study prospectively.19 patients with higher standardized dose of the thyrotropin suppression (>2.5 μg·kg -1·d -1) were selected as the experimental group, and 63 patients with the lower standardized dose of the thyrotropin suppression (≤2.5 μg·kg -1·d -1) were selected as the control group. The presence of HP infection was measured by C13 method, and the HP infection rate was compared between the two groups. The patients with HP infection in the experimental group received standard quadruple therapy to eradicate Helicobacter pylori. The standardized dose before and after treatment were observed and compared. Results:The HP infection rate in the experimental group (73.7%, 14/19) were significantly higher ( P<0.05) than those in the control group (31.7%, 20/63). In the experimental group, 14 patients with HP infection in the experimental group received standard quadruple therapy to eradicate HP. HP was successfully eradicated in 11 patients after the treatment (one patient quit the treatment before completion, the actual eradication rate was 84.6%) ; Eight weeks after the treatment, the dose adjustment of thyrotropin suppression reached steady-state in 13 patients completed the therapy. The average standardized dose was (2.15±0.25) μg·kg -1·d -1, significantly lower than that before treatment [ (2.89±0.21) μg·kg -1·d -1] ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:HP infection may be an important factor affecting the standardized dose of thyrotropin suppression in postoperative patients with thyroid cancer. For those patients with HP infection, eradication treatment of HP can significantly reduce the standardized dose and treatment-related complications.
