300mg/d)were randomly divided into two groups:①Val group consisted of 20 cases(8M/12F),treated with Val 80~160mg/day.②Ben group 20 cases(9M/11F),treated with Ben 10~30mg/d.A goal of blood pressure(BP)control was 130/80mmHg or less in the two groups.Treatment period lasted for 8 weeks.The levels of UAE were measured by radioimmunoassay before and after treatment.We also measured Bp,fasting blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobulin.Results After treatment of 8 weeks,Bp values in the two groups declined significantly compared with the pretreatment levels(P0.05).The levels of UAE in the two groups decreased significantly in comparison with pretreatment(P0.05).Val group seems to have lower adverse drug reaction rate.Conclusions The results indicate that Val has similar effects on reducing UAE in DN compared with Ben.And Val has fewer side effects.

Objective To detect the gene mutation of thyroid hormone receptor β ( TRβ ) in a family with thyroid hormone resistance syndrome.Methods The genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes of the patient and his 5 family members.The exons 1-10 ofTRβ gene were amplified by PCR.The products of PCR were sequenced directly to detect the gene mutation.Results Two members of this family were confirmed to have the C y A transition mutation at nucleotide 1642 site within exon 10 of TRβ gene,which was a missense mutation causing the substitution of Proline to Threonine (P453T).The mutation was Heterozygous.Conclusions It was confirmed that the patient has TRβ gene mutation P453T in exon 10.The mutation may lead to the occurrence of thyroid hormone resistance syndrome.

Objective To evaluate the effect of negative-pressure wound therapy with irrigation(NPWTi)combined with red and blue light on diabetic foot wounds.Methods According to random number method,a total of 80 patients with type 2diabetes combined with diabetic foot admitted to Xuzhou Central Hospital from December 2021 to May 2022 were selected and divided into two groups:con-trol group and NPWTi + red and blue light group,with 40 cases in each group.All patients received basic treatment,while the control group received NPWTi treatment,NPWTi + red and blue light group was treated with red and blue light on the basis of NPWTi.The chan-ges of wound healing speed rate,serum inflammatory markers[erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),C-reactive protein(CRP),pro-calcitonin(PCT)]and growth factors[vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),epidermal growth factor(EGF),basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)]were observed before and 7days after treatment.After 12 weeks of follow-up,the wound healing rate of the two groups were observed,and the cumulative wound healing rate of the two groups was evaluated through Kaplan-Meier curve.Results Af-ter 7days of treatment,the wound healing rate of NPWTi + red and blue light group was faster than that of the control group(P<0.01).The average levels of VEGF,EGF and bFGF in NPWTi + red blue light group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05),while the average levels of ESR,CRP and,PCT in NPWTi + red and blue light group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The wound healing rate of NPWTi + red and blue light group at 12 weeks was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that the cumulative wound healing rate of NPWTi + red and blue light group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion NPWTi combined with red and blue light is effective in treating diabetic foot wounds,and it is worthy of clinical application.
