Diabetes mellitus has become one of the diseases which threaten the heath of human being in the 21st century.A goal of research in diabetes is to find a way to increase the number of functional insulin-producing cells. Islet transplantation has been considered to be the most effective approach to cure type Ⅰ and part of type Ⅱ diabetes mellitus.This approach, however, is severely limited by an inadequate supply of donor islets available for transplantation.Moreover, recent progress of stem cells research has shown that stem cells may act as a new source of islet transplantation in diabetes mellitus treatment. Recent evidence indicates that Glucagon-Like PeptideⅠ(GLP-1) plays a very important role in targeted differentiation of stem cells into Insulin-Producing Cells and pancreatic development. GLP-1 is an intestine-derived insulinotropic hormone that stimulates glucose dependent insulin production and secretion. GLP-1 can induce differentiation of stem cells into insulin-producing cells, which is achieved by up regulation of PDX-1 expression.PDX-1 is a transcription factor critical for pancreatic development and endocrine cell neogenesis and a marker for pancreatic stem cells. These new findings suggest an approach to create Insulin-Producing cells in vitro by expanding stem/progenitor cells and then to convert them into Insulin-Producing cells by treatment with GLP-1. Thus GLP-1 may be a means by which to create Insulin-Producing cells ex vivo for transplantation into patients with insulinopenic type Ⅰ diabetes and severe forms of type Ⅱ diabetes. This article reviews recent progress about GLP-1 and targeted differentiation of stem cells induced by GLP-1.

Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect of titanium microplate to repair and fix obsolete cracky orbital fracture.Methods According to the diagnosis of CT scanning and three-dimensional imaging, 20 cases of obsolete orbital fractures were repaired and fixed by using titanium microplate along fracture lines. The microplates were placed according to the part nad shape of fractures. For the part of comminuted fractures, the two ends of fractures were fixed like a bridge. Results After the repair and fixation of titanium microplate, facial deformity became recuperative completely, eye-ball-movement and mastication function were recovered. During 6~12 months follow-up period, no reject reaction or cracking or dropping of microplate occured.Conclusions The titanium microplate can make orbital fractures rigid and internal fixed, and the procedure is simple and easy mastered. Therefore, it is one of the most effective materials in the repair and fixation of orbital and facial fractures.

Nitric oxide (NO), which is involved in the regulation of the cardiovascular system, nervous system, immune system, reproductive system, digestive system and other physiological activities, is an important biological substance with activity. Under normal physiological conditions, neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) can precisely regulate the nervous system NO production, release, diffusion and inactivation processes. But an excess of NO associates with the development of cerebral ischemia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's psychosis nervous system diseases, while inhibition of nNOS activity can regulate the content of NO in vivo, and produce a therapeutic effect on some of the nervous system diseases. This review mainly describes the structure and regulation of nNOS and recent developments of small molecule inhibitors of nNOS.

Objective To investigate the relationship between arterial elasticity and left ventricular twist in patients with essential hypertension (EH).Methods Sixty patients with EH who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College of Shihezi University from October 2014 to June 2015 as the EH group,and 60 healthy persons in the same period as the control group.The systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),pulse pressure (PP) were measured.Ascending aortic systolic diameter,diastolic diameter were detected by ultrasonic technology.Aortic strain (AS),aortic stiffness (β) and aortic distensibility (AD) were calculated.Left ventricular basal peak rotation(PBR) and apical peak rotation(PAR) were detected by speckle tracking imaging(STI),and the left ventricular peak twist(Ptw) was calculateby.Results The β,PP and Ptw in EH group were 3.99±0.47,(74.2±10.4) mmHg and (21.73±2.30) °respectively,in the control group were 2.75 ± 0.27,(45.9 ± 5.1) mmHg and (14.04 ± 2.90) ° respectively,and the differences were significant(P=0.000).AS and AD in Eh group were 0.034±0.012,1.00±0.47 respectively,in the control group were 0.106 ± 0.028,4.69 ± 1.37 respectively,and the differences were significant (P =0.000).Pearson correlation analysis showed there were opsitive correlation between β with PBR,PAR and Ptw (correlation coefficient =0.361,0.719,0.730;P<0.01 or P<0.05),and negative correlation between AD with PBR,PAR and Ptw(correlation coefficient =-0.279,-0.625,-0.610;P<0.01 or P<0.05).Conclusion β,PP and Ptw are high,while AS,AD are poor in patient with EH,and there are associations between β,AD with PBR,PAR and Ptw.

Aim To study the mechanism of Escherichia coli DNA photolyase(EC 4.1.99.3) in repairing the ultraviolet induced pyrimidine dimmer lesions in DNA.Methods UV-Vis Specturum was used to measure the relationships between the enzyme activity and different state flavin ademine denucleotide(FAD).Results It was shown that the enzyme activity was the highest when FAD chromophore was in reduced state and lowest when it was in oxidated state,while the activity ranked between when the enzyme was in radical state.Partial denature was observed when the enzyme was in oxidated state and under over 30℃,yet the enzyme activity remained unchanged.The presence of MTHF chromophore enhanced the enzyme activity.Conclusion These findings provide clues for clinical application of DNA photolyase in the future.

[Objective ] Intrastriatal Parr interneurons are considered to be the junction between striatal input and output neurons. This study purposes to confirm the morphology of Parr neurons and their distribution in striatum. [Method] Adult male SD rats were perfused and the brains were removed. The sections were conducted with a semiconductor-frozen microtome, then single labeling and double labeling were immunocytochemically conducted with PAP technique. Positive neurons were observed, counted, and calculated, and analyzed with SPSS. [Results] The distribution of Parr positive neurons in striatum was inhomogeueous, and was the most dense in the dorsal lateral area (P<0.001) ; the distribution of Parr positive neurons in matrix compartment was apparently more than patch compartment (82.0% vs 18.0%, P<0.001); Parr positive neurons in striaturn were medium-sized cell bodies with polygonal or oval in shape (mean diameter is 11.68 μm), and were larger in the lateral area than that in the medial area (P<0.01) ; the positive dendrites were dense and smooth without dendrite spines; the positive axons 1 were slender and their collaterals extended in striatum. [Conclusion] The characteristic of Parr positive neurons collecting mostly in lateral striatum and matrix eompartment, as well as their traits of intemeurons, indicated that they would affect the striatal projection neuronal function.

The characteristics of glucose dysbolism in ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS) were investigated by analysing the clinical data of 117 patients with Cushing syndrome (CS). The patients with CS were divided into 3 groups : EAS group (n = 9) , Cushing's disease (CD) group (n = 67) and adrenocortical adenoma (AA) group (n =41). Retrospective analysis of the data covered the prevalence of secondary diabetes, blood glucose, HbAlc, blood potassium, and blood ACTH and 24 h urinary-free cortisol (UFC) levels. Compared with CD and AA groups, the prevalence of secondary diabetes and blood glucose level were higher in EAS group, while HbAlc level was lower. Blood glucose level in patients with ectopic ACTH syndrome decreased to normal after tumor removal.
