Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2017;25(9):800-804
Objective To explore the influence of case management on short-term intensive insulin therapy effect,including treatment compliance,safety and glucose metabolic index in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients in outpatient clinic. Methods A total of 100 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients in outpatient clinic were enrolled in this study and randomly divided into 2 groups:intervention group (n=52)and control group (Con,n = 48 ). The intervention group received standard insulin injection case management provided by a team composed of doctors and nurse case manager. The control group received routine insulin injection education in outpatient. Attitudes and compliance of insulin treatment,incidence of hypoglycemia,fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1 c ) were compared between the two groups at baseline and after 3 months follow up. Results After intervention,the total score and scores by dimension of insulin treatment attitude were higher in intervention group than in Con group[(76.30 ± 4.06 )vs (60.53 ± 3.18 )score,P < 0.01 ]. Insulin treatment compliance was better in intervention group than in Con group (82.7% vs 64.6%,P < 0.05 ). The hypoglycemia incidence was lower in intervention group than in Con group (19.2% vs 31.3%,P >0.05),although without statistical difference. FBG and HbA1 c were all lower in intervention group than in Con group [(6.79 ± 1.41 )vs (7.51±1.15)mmol/L,(6.62±0.69)% vs (7.15±0.75)%,P <0.05]. Conclusion Case management could effectively improve the insulin treatment attitude and compliance,and then optimize glycemic control innewly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients treated with short-term intensive insulin therapy in outpatient clinic.

Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2009;17(1):45-48
Objective To investigate the nutrition support during stress response period after tumor ex-tirpation in middle-aged and elderly patients with oral and maxillofacial tumors. Methods Sixty patients who had undergone maxillofacial tumor extirpation were randomly divided into nutrition therapy group (n = 35) and control group ( n = 25 ). Patients in nutrition therapy group received enteral nutritional treatment, while patients in control group fed themselves. The nutritional status of the two groups before operations were evaluated with Concise Nutritional Assessment Indicators of human body measurement and biochemistry were used to evaluate the nutritional conditions. The incidence of post-operational complications and recovery time ( from the operation to discharge) were analyzed. Results The weight and arm muscle circumference in the nutrition therapy group significantly decreased after operations (P <0. 05). However, in the control group, all the nutritional indica-tors except the total lymphocyte count were significantly lower than the baseline levels after operations (P < 0. 05 ) ; particularly, of the average body weight decreased by about 6 kg. The incidence of complications in the nutrition therapy group was significantly lower than that in control group (5. 7% vs. 12. 0% , P <0. 05). The recovery time was significantly longer in the control group than that in the nutrition therapy group [ (28. 62± 2.38) vs. (22. 76± 3. 24) d, P < 0. 01 ]. Conclusion The nutritional support during the stress response period can satisfy the demands of high catabolism after maxillofacial tumor extirpation operation in middle-aged and elderly patients.

4.Progress in the study of G-quadruplex telomerase inhibitors
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2010;26(1):17-20
Telomerase can inhibit the shortening of telomere and stimulate continuous cell proliferation to form tumor.The activity of telomerase can be prohibited by G-quadruplex formed by the single chain in G-rich field of telomere 3' end, resulting in tumor cell apoptosis.Ligands which can induce the formation or stabilize the structure of G-quadruplex in G-rich field of oncogene exhibit antitumor function. Nowadays it becomes the core concern of chemists and biologists to screen and structurally design the compounds targeting G-quadruplex.This paper summarized the discoveries in the G-quadruplex-targeted telomerase inhibitors in recent years.
5.Current status and prospect of drug-eluting stents
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;11(51):10404-10408
BACKGROUND:Latest researches suggest that delayed endothelial repair in drug-eluting stents may cause thrombosis and coronary occlusion.Therefore,a novel kind of drug stent,which is characterized by satisfactory anti-proliferative action as well as inhibitive effects on thrombosis,needs to be developed.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the recent research progress and clinical applications of drug-eluting stents (DES) and to seek the direction of new developments.RETRIEVE STRATEGY:The retrieve staffs were the research personnel for this paper.A computer-based online search was conducted in PUBMED for English language publications containing the key words of "drug eluting stents,percutaneous coronary intervention,coronary disease" from January 2002 to April 2007.Relevant data were also searched in international conference reports on the Internet between January 2005 and June 2007.The number of total retrieved Iiteratures was 15.Inclusion criteria:①reports about drug stents;②reports on research progress in the field of drug stents;③reports on the clinical application of drug stents.Exclusion criteria:low relevance and duplicated articles.LITERATURE EVALUATION:There were 264 articles about research and clinical applications of DES.Of those,42 literatures and 5 conference reports with high relevance and timeliness were included in this report.DATA SYNTHESIS:An ideal DES is comprised of a platform,a drug carrier vehicle and a pharmaceutical compound in harmony with each other.Given the ongoing development of DES materials and drugs,more effective DESs are introduced in the clinical practice.Recently,clinical data on DES encourage the interventional cardiologist to use DES in more challenging coronary lesions,such as chronic total occlusions,complex lesions and multivessel lesions.However,concern that DES may be associated with a risk of late thrombotic events arose,suggesting an imbalance between safety and efficacy of DES.Therefore,novel strategies including bioabsorbable stents,and stents coated with pro-healing agents are promising.CONCLUSION:The development of DES is a breakthrough in interventional cardiology that bring great benefit to patients with coronary disease,especially for restenosis and revascularization.Nevertheless,more endeavour will be necessary to create DES with high efficacy as well as low risk.
6.Effect of dichloroacetate on expression of Kv1.5 in a rat model of pulmonary arterial hypertension
Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2011;31(6):735-738
Objective To investigate the effect of dichloroacetate on the expression of Kv1.5 in a rat model of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) .Methods Thirty-two male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 8 each): normal control group (group C), dichloroacetate control group (group D),PAH group, and PAH + dichloroacetate group (group PD). PAH was induced by left lung resection combined with subcutaneous injection of monocrotaline 60 mg/kg in PAH and PD groups. In group PD, dichloroacetate 80 mg/kg was given through a gastric tube into stomach once a day for 28 consecutive days after monocrotaline injection,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead of dichloroacetate in group PAH. Group D only received dichloroacetate 80 mg/kg through a gastric tube into stomach once a day for 28 consecutive days. Pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) was measured at day 28 after monocrotaline injection. The rats were then sacrificed and lung tissues were removed to calculate the percentage of thickness of the tunica media of pulmonary artery and right venicular hypertrophy index and to determine the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Kv1.5 protein expression (by Western blot) and Kv1.5 mRNA expression (by RT-PCR).Results Compared with group C, the PAP,percentage of thickness of the tunica media, right ventricular hypertrophy index were significantly increased, Kv1.5 mRNA and protein expression was down-regulated and PCNA expression was up-regulated in groups PAH and PD ( P < 0.05). Compared with group PAH, the PAP, percentage of thickness of the tunica media, right ventricular hypertrophy index were significantly decreased, Kv1.5 mRNA and protein expression was up-regulated and PCNA expression was down-regulated in group PD (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the indexes mentioned above between group C and group D ( P > 0.05). Conclusion Dichloroacetat alleviates PAH through upregulating Kv1.5 expression in lung tissues and inhibiting pulmonary vascular remodeling in rats.
