Objective To investigate the relationship of MTP gene variation with type 2 diabetic angiopathy. Methods PCR and restriction-fragment-length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) analysis and gene sequencing were used to investigate the influence of a common MTP gene polymorphism in promoter region on diabetic macroangiopathy. Results (1) A single nucleotide mutation of G→T was detected at 493 bp of upstream from the transcriptional start point.There was a significant difference in genotype frequency(χ2=9.162,P=0.01) and T allele frequency(χ2=10.322,P=0.001) between macroangiopathy group and non-macroangiopathy group.(2) MTP-493 TT group had the significantly higher serum levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, VLDL-C and lower HDL-C than other genotype groups.(3) Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that T allele, age, disease duration, diastolic blood pressure and total cholesterol were independent risk factors against type 2 diabetic macroangiopathy.The HDL-C level was negatively related with diabetic macroangiopathy. Conclusions MTP-493 TT genotype may be deeply involved in production of atherogenic dyslipidemia and associated with development of macroangiopathy in type 2 diabetic subjects.

Objective To compare the effects of different methods of blood pressure management in elderly hypertensive patients in the community,so as to explore the effective model for the management of chronic diseases.Methods 302 elderly hypertensive patients in Puhuangyu community health service center were divided into two groups by random number method:(1) receiving conventional antihypertensive drugs (control group,n=152);(2) receiving antihypertensive drugs combined with blood pressure self-measurements at least twice-weekly and real-time adjusting antihypertensive management (blood pressure self-measurements group,n =150).Medication adherence,levels of blood pressure control and blood pressure-targeting rate were compared between groups one year after intervention.Results Medication adherence rate was higher in self-measurements group than in the control group [94.7％ (142 cases) vs.75.7％ (115 cases),P＜ 0.05].After intervention,systolic pressure was decreased from (168.5±37.7) mmHg to (155.3±25.2) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) in the control group and from (168.0±38.1)mmHg to (141.7 ±22.9) mmHg in self-measurements group (all P＜0.05).Diastolic pressure level was similar in the two groups.There was a significant difference in the blood pressure-targeting rate between groups (P ＜0.05).Conclusions Blood pressure self-measurements are more effective in controlling blood pressure and can improve the self-management ability in elderly patients with chronic diseases in the community.

Objective To study the effects of compound rhizoma bletillae paint (CRBP) on scalded rats. Methods Rats were randomly divided into test groups (CRBP low, high dose group), CRBP-CA (CRBP without chlorhexidine acetate) group, positive control group (Jingwanhong) and negative control group (no treatment) respectively, with 10 rats in each group. The drugs were administered topically on the surface of scalded places respectively after second-degree and third-degree burn scald models in rats. The rats were bred separately. The scabbing time, decrustation time and wound healing time were recorded. Results The scabbed and the decrustation time were shorter in the test group than that in the negative control group with significant differences (P

Objective To study the diagnostic value of transperineum color Doppler ultrasonography (TPCDU) and transabdominal color Doppler ultrasonography (TACDU) in pelvic varicosis (PV). Methods Thirty-eight patients with PV were detected by using TACDU and TPCDU separately, and the diagnostic value between the two ways was compared. Operational results was used as standard, and the degree of lesion in patients with PV was evaluated based on the results of surgery. Results The rate of diagnostic accuracy was high in both methods (TACDU 92% and TACDU 79%, separately). However, the rate of diagnostic accuracy and the site detectable were significantly higher by TPCDU than by TACDU (P

[Objective]To comparatively analyze the clinical results of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and ORIF in treatment of intra-articular fracture of knee joint and to investigate the utilization value of biological fixation.[Method]According to the principles of conservation of the vascularity,21 cases of intra-articular fractures of knee joint underwent surgical treatment of MIPO in recent years.In accordance with the type of fracture and other anticipated factors influenced bony healing,paired-samples treated of ORIF were selected.The two groups were compared following: operation time,intra-operative blood loss,bone union time,axial malalignment radiologically of knee joint,and the ROM of knee.HSS criteria were used to evaluate the results.[Result]In MIPO group,all 21 fractures were followed up for averagely 14.2 months (range 10~16 months).The mean duration of surgery was 60.0 min (range 50~70 min) and bone grafting underwent in 2 cases.Complete fracture healing was achieved with the average time of 10.0 weeks and assessment of vallgus/varus alignment showed a deviation more than 5 degrees in 3 cases.The average HSS score was 86.67.In ORIF group,all 21 fractures were followed up for averagely 21.2months (range 12~48 months).The mean duration of surgery was 79.52 min (range 65-95 min) and bone grafting underwent in 18 cases.Complete fracture healing was achieved with the average time of 12.24 weeks and assessment of valgus/varus alignment showed a deviation more than 5 degrees in 2 cases.The average HSS score was 82.14.All patients got bony union and no patient developed infection,implant failure in both groups.There was significant difference in operation time,union time and function of knee between the two groups.[Conclusion]To the suitable cases,MIPO appears to stabilize fractures with a low intra-operative blood loss and a low incidence of bone grafting; on the other hand it offers many advantages in the aspects of operation procedures and functional recovery postoperatively.
