Objective To construct several human proinsulin mutants plasmid related to diabetes and to express in INS-1 (Insulin secreting beta cell derived line) cell. Methods Human mild proinsulin gene was used as template , and site-directed mutagenesis PCR was employed to generate four human proinsulin plasmid mutants. Each mutant plasmid was sequenced then transfected with empty plasmid and mild plasmid into INS-1 cell by liposome 2000. Insulin value in each cell solution was determined by radioimmunoassay. Results Proinsulin mutants plasmid were confirmed by sequencing. In-sulin values in culture solution of H-C(B19)G、H-L(B11)P、H-R(S6)C mutants are less than those in wild type and H-F (B25)L(P<0.05). Comparison of insulin values between H-C(B19)G、H-L(B11)P、H-R(S6)C groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05), and all these three groups showed no significant differences with empty plasmid group statistically (P>0.05).Insulin value of H-F(B25)L was of no significant differences statistically with empty plasmid(P>0.05). Conclu-sion Four human proinsulin mutants plasmid were constructed and expressed successfully in INS-1 cell, and different mu-tants plasmid result in diabetes through different mechanism.

Objective To explore the clinical therapeutic effects of St. John's Wort exact (SWE)on depressive disorder and blood glucose in elderly type 2 diabetic patients Methods 118 patients with type 2 diabetes and depressive disorder were randomly assigned to SWE group (26 cases),lorazepam group (22 cases ), psychotherapy group (24 cases), physicotherapy group (24 cases) and control group (routine therapy,22 cases) for 12 weeks' treatment. The clinical effects were evaluated with the percentage reduction in HAMD score after the treatment, HbAlc levels were obtained to monitor glycemic control. Results (1) The percentage reduction in HAMD score in SWE group was the highest (80. 8%), and it was lower in lorazepam group ( 63. 6%), psychotherapy group (62. 5%) and physicotherapy group(58. 3%). The percent decrease in H AMD score was higher in four groups than in control group ( 18. 2%) and the difference was significant (P < 0. 01). The therapeutic effect of SWE was better than the others(P0. 05). (2) The level of HbAlc in SWE group (6.5±0. 6)% was significantly lower than the others [( 7. 5 ± 0. 8) %, (7.4 ± 0. 8) %, (7. 4 ±1.0) % (P < 0. 01 )]. Conclusions St. John' s Wort exact (SWE) can efficiently improve the depressive disorder in elderly type 2 diabetic patients, and it is good for controlling blood glucose of the patients.

Objective To investigate imaging characteristics of human skin in different sites by using 20-MHz and 50-MHz high-frequency ultrasonography,and to compare the reliability of skin thickness measurement by the above two approaches of ultrasonography.Methods A total of 39 healthy volunteers aged 18-39 years were enrolled into this study.Then,20-MHz and 50-MHz ultrasonography were separately performed to image 20 different sites on the body,and the thickness of the epidermis and dermis were measured and evaluated by 3 dermatologists independently.The ultrasonic images were analyzed,and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess and compare the reliability of skin thickness measurement by 20-MHz and 50-MHz ultrasound.Results The ICC values were less than or close to 0.7 in epidermal thickness measurement at almost all the tested sites between 20-MHz and 50-MHz ultrasonography,suggesting poor reliability.However,20-MHz and 50-MHz ultrasonography showed excellent reliability in dermal thickness measurement with the ICC greater than 0.75 at almost all the tested smooth and flat body sites.The 20-MHz ultrasound could provide clear images of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue,while 50-MHz ultrasound could only provide clearer images of the dermis in details.In some uneven sites with complex anatomical structures,20-MHz and 50-MHz ultrasound probes had their own advantages and disadvantages in imaging depth and detail resolution.Conclusions The 20-MHz and 50-MHz ultrasono-graphy both can serve as non-invasive imaging techniques to show structures of the epidermis and dermis better.In different parts of human body,ultrasound frequencies should be selected according to their imaging characteristics.

Objective To observe the level of serum hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Methods Thirty patients with IGT (IGT group), 30 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitns (T2DM) (T2DM group) and 30 healthy controls (control group) were recruited for this study. Such indexes as HGF, fasting plasma glucose (FBG), postprandial plasma glucose (2hPG), glycosylated hemoglobin A1c( GHbA1c ), fasting insulin(FINS), systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were examined and these related factors were analyzed. Results The levels of serum HGF in IGT group and T2DM group were higher than those in control group [(413.22 ± 102.48), (422.76 ± 126.77 ), ( 120.45 ± 25.11 ) ng/L, respectively ] (P < 0.05 ). There was no significant different between IGT group and T2DM group (P> 0.05). There was positive correlation between HGF and FBG (r = 0.326, P< 0.05 ). Multiple regression analysis indicated significant correlation between HGF and DBP (r = 4.730, P< 0.05). Conclusion Higher levels of HGF are found in IGT patients, which indicates that function of vascular endothelium is abnormal in this period.
