Diabetes associated large vascular disease is a major threat to type 2 diabetes mellitus,its main pathological mechanism is atherosclerosis.Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) detected using high resolution ultrasound technique can be used as an alternative indicator of subclinical atherosclerosis.It has been confirmed that it is a strong predictor of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.This article focuses on the latest research progress of the CIMT-associated risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective To rapidly construct hepatitis B virus(HBV)adefovir(ADV)‐resistant strain(RT A181T)infectious clone by using SOE‐PCR ,to observe the expression of recombinant plasmids in Huh7 cells and to establish the in vitro cell model of HBV ADV‐resistant strain(RT A181T) .Methods The conservative primers were designed ,the full‐length HBV genome was amplified from serum in the patients with ADV‐resistant chronic hepatitis B .Then ,the 1 .3‐fold genome‐length infectious clone pHBV1 .3 was constructed by using the SOE‐PCR technique ,which was transfected into human hepatoma cells Huh7 cell line .ELISA ,Western Blot and Real‐time PCR were adopted to detect infectious cloning replication and expression ,meanwhile the antiviral drugs lamivu‐dine(LAM ) and ADV were used to verify the infectious clone copy and inhibition of expression .Results The HBV ADV‐resistant infectious cloning plasmids pHBV1 .3 was successfully constructed .This plasmid could be effectively replicated ,transcripted and ex‐pressed in Huh7 cell lines .LAM could effectively inhibit the replication and expression of the infectious clone ,while ADV could not inhibit the replication and expression of the infectious clone .Conclusion The constructed infectious clone plasmids pHBV1 .3(RT A181T ) of HBV ADV‐resistant strain can efficiently replicate and express protein in vitro ,its transfected cells can be used in the study of HBV replication mechanism and antiviral study .

Obesity is caused by the imbalance between caloric intake and energy expenditure. It is also influenced by genetic factors. Many genes,such as ob gene, ? 3 receptor gene, ucp 1 gene, may involved in the prevalence of obesity. Pharmacologic treatments include anorexigenic agents, lipase inhibitor, ? 3 receptor agonists and many newer antiobesity drugs, which provide prospective ways in treating obesity.

Objective To observe the effect of the trinity comprehensive therapy for adolescent pseudo-myopia.Methods According to the digital table,149 patients(298 eyes) were divided into the observation group75 patients(150 eyes) and the control group74 patients(148 eyes).The observation group were given with the trinity comprehensive therapy:herbal acupoint massage,auricular-plaster therapy and to wear the crystal apparatus.The control group were given with 0.5％ tropicamide eye drops.Based on the naked distant vision,this paper will observe their respective curative effect,and then make the statistical analysis afterwards.Results The effective rate in the observation group was(95.14％),which was significantly higher than (78.26％)of the control group (Z =-12.563,P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile,the effect of the treatment on the naked visual acuity in pseudo-myopia who were with (0.8 ± 0.1) was significantly higher than that of the naked visual acuity of the patients with low vision.And after a half-a-year treatment,the vision loss rate in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P ＜0.05).Conclusion The curative effect of the trinity comprehensive therapy for adolescent pseudo-myopia is definite,and can be maintained for a long time,which has a certain value to prevent the occurrence and development of juvenile myopia.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of nasal irrigation for pediatric chronic sinusitis. Methods 92 children with chronic sinusitis were selected and randomly divided into treatment group(48 cases) and control group(44 cases) .The two groups were treated with routine clinical basic drugs,and the treatment group took nasal irrigation in addition.The efficacy after 1 month was compared, and then the patients were followed up for 3 months.Results The total effective rate of the treatment group was 91.7% after 1 month,which of the control group was 72.7%.After 3 months,the total effective rate in treatment group was 95.9%,which of the control group was 86.4%.There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in treatment outcomes( P=0.024, 0.011) .Conclusion The therapeutic effect of nasal irrigation for pediatric chronic sinusitis is obvious, safe and reliable.

The velocity of blood in vessels is an important indicator that reflects the microcirculatory status. The core of the measurement technology, which is based on spatiotemporal (ST) image, is to map the cell motion trace to the two-dimensional ST image, and transfer the measurement of flow velocity to the detection of trace orientation in ST image. This paper proposes a trace orientation measurement algorithm is based on Randomized Hough Transformation and projection transformation, and it is able to estimate trace orientation and flow velocity in noisy ST images. Experiments showed that the agreement between the results by manual and by the proposed algorithm reached over 90%.

Metoclopramide ( MCP ) is similar to Procainamide in structure. In rats anaesthetized by ip chloral hydrate 300 mg/kg, arrhythmia induced by BaCl 3 mg/kg was shown to be antagonized by injecting iv MCP 30 mg/kg. It was also found that MCP 10 mg/kg injected iv protected rabbits against a'rrhythmia induced by chloroform-adrenaline . In anaesthetized rats, MCP 30 mg/kg injected iv raised the dose of aconitine required to induce first arrhythmia, ventricular fibrillation ( VF ) and heart arrest, while in anaesthetized guinea pigs, the same amount of MCP injected iv showed no significant action on the dose of ouabain inducing these effects. Ventricular tachycardia produced by occlusion of coronary artery in rats could not be prevnted by injecting iv MCP 30 mg/kg. It was found that MCP has local anaesthesia action.

Objective To assess the effect of 5-azacytidine (5-AZ) on the expressions of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and β-myosin heavy chain (β-MHC) genes in cultured rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Methods Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and adult rat BMSCs were isolated and cultured. BMSCs were incubated with 5-AZ and (or) myocardiocytes culture medium. RT-PCR was used to measure the expressions of cardiac ANP and β-MHC genes. Results Normally cultured rat BMSCs didn't express cardiac ANP or β-MHC. After inducing by 5-AZ, rat BMSCs expressed ANP or β-MHC. The myocardiocytes culture medium enhanced expression of β-MHC, but didn't affect the expression of ANP. Conclusions The 5-AZ induces the rat BMSCs to express either cardiac ANP or β-MHC, and the former could be enhanced by cardiomyocytes culture medium.
