Objective To evaluate comprehensively the effectiveness of transitional care for patients with diabetic in china. Methods Cochrane Handbook for systematic reviews of interventions was followed,and strictly designed search strategies,pub-lished literatures were searched through Chinese biomedical literature database(CBM),Wanfang,CNKI,VIP database.These data-bases were searched to collect the randomized controlled trials of transitional care for patients with diabetic in China.The retrieval time was limited from 2000 to 2014,All the literatures were selected according to the strictly designed strategies .A Meta analysis was performed by RevMan5.0 software.Results Totally 8 trials were included.Meta analysis showed that 6 months after the in-tervention,the continuing nursing and the control group in the incidence of complications of hypoglycemia had no significant differ-ence[RR= 0.69,95%CI (0.21,2.27 ),P = 0.540 ],while fasting glucose had significant difference [WMD = - 1.54,95%CI (-2.89,-0.1 9),P =0.030].12 months after the intervention,the continuing nursing and control groups in the incidence of com-plications of hypoglycemia [RR = 0.34,95%CI (0.1 6,0.72 ),P = 0.005 ],in fasting plasma glucose [WMD = - 1.03,95%CI (-2.78,0.72),P =0.250],in glycated hemoglobin [WMD =-1.73,95%CI (-2.43,-1.04),P <0.01]had significantly differ-ence.18 months after the intervention,the continuing nursing and control groups in the incidence of complications of hypoglycemia were significantly different[RR=0.28,95%CI (0.12,0.67 ),P = 0.004].Conclusion Transitional care intervention on patients with diabetes can reduce fasting blood glucose,glycated hemoglobin,and the incidence of complications,but the complications of in-tervention time should be greater than 6 months.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of miR-21 on ADAMTS-1 expression in pulmonary fibrosis model. Methods A mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis was established using bleomycin (BLM) anda model of pulmonary fibrosis was constructed in vitro , the expression level of miR-21 was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), while the protein expression of ADAMTS-1 was measured by Western blot. NIH3T3 were transfected with miR-21 mimics and inhibitor in vitro and the cellular expression of ADAMTS-1 was measured by Western blot. Results Compared with the blank group , in mouse models of pulmonary fibrosis , the miR-21 expressions in lung tissues at three time points after BLM-treatment were significantly up-regulated while an evident decrease in ADAMTS-1 expressions were observed (P < 0.01). In vitro pulmonary fibrosis model , NIH3T3 cells after TGF-β1 in concentration 5 μg/L stimulation down-regulated ADAMTS-1 expression and up-regulated miR-21 expression (P < 0.01). NIH3T3 transfected with miR-21 mimics and inhibitor, up-regulated miR-21 expression, while down-regulated ADAMTS-1 protein expression. Conclusions Up-regulation of miR-21 and Down-regulation of ADAMTS-1 might be involved in the progression of pulmonary fibrosis model; miR-21 could negatively regulate ADAMTS-1 expression.

OBJECTIVE:To detect the expression of genes of leukemia cell line K562 treated by artemisinin using the gene chip technology and to study the mechanism of artemisinin in the inhibition of leukemia cell line K562 on the molecular level. METHODS:K562 cells were treated with artemisinin for 24h,and then the morphological change of K562 cells were observed under invert microscope and fluorescence microscope. The cell cycle state was examined by flow cytometry analysis (FCM). Total RNA samples were extracted and reverse transcribed to cDNA. Cy3-labelled cDNA samples were hybridized with gene chips.The hybridization results were detected by Gene Pix 4100A. RESULTS: Under invert microscope,different degree of shrinkage of K562 cells was noted,karyoschisis was reduced,cell density was decreased and the numbers of drift cells were increased.Under fluorescence microscope,caryotin was highly concentrated,marginalized and agglomerated to relucent clump,i.e.apoptotic body. Flow cytometric analysis showed that ratio of cells in G2 phase increased markedly. Hybridization analysis showed down-regulation of cyclin D1,cdk4,cdk2,cdc2,DNA-PK,DNA-TopoI,mcl-1,erk,jnk and VEGF in the artemisinin-treated K562 cells.CONCLUSION: The mechanism for artemisinin to inhibit the proliferation of leukemia cell line K562 is related to its action to alter the gene expression of certain regulatory substances involved in cell cycle and induce apoptosis of leukemia cell line K562.

Objective To observe visual field outcome and refractive status of patients with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treated by laser photocoagulation.Method The data of 39 ROP patients (73 eyes) who received laser photocoagulation were retrospectively analyzed and compared with 13 normal control subjects (25 eyes) whose age and sex were matched with ROP group.There were 24 males (45 eyes) and 15 females (28 eyes) in ROP group,with an average age of (7.0± 1.28) years.The first laser treatment was carried out at postnatal age (PA) of (38.74±3.82) weeks,the birth weight (BW) of (1402.33 ±369.61) g and the number of laser burns was (517.86 ± 277.40).The control group included 7 females (13 eyes) and 6 males (12 eyes),with an average age of (7.17 ± 0.96) years.The age (t=0.691) and gender (x2=1.425) were comparable between the two groups (P=0.491,0.233).The data of patients and controls were retrospectively analyzed including best corrected visual acuity,refractive examination,automated perimetry test.The differences of the mean deviation (MD) of visual field and the spherical equivalent (SE) between these two groups were comparatively observed.ROP patients were divided into no VF loss group (MD≤2 dB) and VF loss group (MD＞2 dB),mild VF loss group (MD ≤ 6 dB) and moderate VF loss group (MD ＞6 dB) according to the results of automated perimetry test,the differences of gestational age (GA),PA,BW,number of laser burns and SE between these groups were comparatively observed.Results The MD in ROP group and control group were 4.87±5.12 dB and 1.27 ± 3.34 dB,respectively;the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=-4.01,P＜ 0.001).The subgroup analysis showed that BW,number of laser burns,and SE were significantly different between no VF loss group and VF loss group (t=2.074,-1.996,-2.162;P=0.042,0.026,0.034);while the GA was not significantly different between these two groups (t=1.973,P=0.052).The difference of PA was not statistical significant different between mild VF loss group and moderate VF loss group (t=2.03,P=0.051) and SE was significantly different between the above two groups (t=3.283,P=0.002).For refractive outcomes,the BW and ROP stage correlated with SE significantly (r=-0.304,-0.387;P=0.015,0.002).The mean BCVA in ROP group was 0.84±0.23,and 59 eyes (91.2％) with BCVA better than 0.5.Conclusion Laser treatment for ROP tends to have less effect on long term refractive status and VF loss,with good visual outcome.

Objective To investigate the possible association of HLA-DQ alleles with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) caused by Chlamydia trachomatis in Han nationality in Northern China. Methods Thirty five Han Chinese patients with PID caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and 98 unrelated healthy individuals from the same area were genotyped for HLA-DQ gene alleles by the PCR-sequence specific oligonucleotide (SSO) method. Results Compared with the healthy controls, the frequencies of HLA-DQA1*0501 and HLA-DQB1*0301 allele were significantly increased and also associated with the antibody response to Chlamydia trachomatis heat-shock protein 60 (CHSP60). Conclusions These results may provide clues to reveal the susceptibility gene of chlamydial pelvic inflammatory disease in China and the immunogenetic mechanisms of the disease.

OBJECTIVE:To study the apoptosis of human leukemic cells induced by Dihydroartemisinin and its molecular mechanism.METHODS:Human leukemia K562 cells were treated by Dihydroartemisinin.The inhibitory effect on cell proliferation was assayed by MTT.Fluorescence microscopy was applied to observe the presence of apoptosis.The expression of caspase-3 was assayed with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Levels of mitochondrial and cytoplasmic cytochrome C were determined using Western blot.RESULTS:After treatment with Dihydroartemisinin for 48 hours,the IC50 values of human leukemia K562 cells were 8? 10-5mol? L-1 detected at a wavelength of 570nm by MTT.Distinct morphology changes of cell apoptosis such as karyopyknosis and conglomeration were observed by Hoechst33342/PI staining.RT-PCR assay showed the expression of Caspase-3.Western-blot detection showed the decrease of mitochondrial cytochrome C concentration but the positive expression of cytoplasmic cytochrome C concentration.CONCLUSION:Dihydroartemisinin could inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of human leakemic K562 cells,this may partially attributed to the promotion of the delivery of cyt-c and the activation of caspase-3.
