Objective To evaluate the Cys-C、β~2-MG、RBP as marker三of early diagnosis in patients with diabetic nephropathy Ⅱ(DN).Methods ninety patients with DN were divided into three groups according to urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER),that is normal,micro and mass group.Serum Cys-C、β~2-MG、RBP、BUN,Crea were detected and parallelly contrasted in the three groups and control group with thirty healthy people.Results compared with the control group,the serum Cys-C、β~2-MG、RBP of micro and mass group both significantly increased and the normal group had no significant difference.The positive rate of Cys-C、β~2-MG,RBP in mass group was respectively 100%、100%、96.1%;the positive rate in micro group as follows:Cys C (92.3%)＞B2-MG(84.6%)＞RBP(66.6%)＞Crea(46.1%)＞BUN(28.2%).Conclusion serum Cys-C、β~2-MG、RBP have high positive rates in patients with diabetic nephropathy Ⅱ(DN).They can be used as early diagnostic marker of diabetic nephropathy Ⅱespecially Cys-C.

BACKGROUND: Vitapex is an injectable root canal filling material. It possesses effects of antibiosis, analgesia, as well as promotes formation of alveolar bone, dentin and cementum, which had been widely used in apexification. However, it also has weakness of long induction time and need reduplicated subsequent visit.OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Vitapex paste on apexification.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The contrast observation experiment was performed at the Department of Stomatology,Shenyang Children's Hospital from February 2006 to November 2008.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 42 patients with 49 teeth were included in this study, including 28 anterior maxilla and 21 premolars.The X-ray film showed that the root tip of teeth was immature.METHODS: The teeth were randomly divided into the experimental group (n=25) and control group (n=24), which was apexificated by MTA and Vitapex paste, respectively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The effective rate of two groups was compared at months 3, 6 and 12 after operation.RESULTS: All teeth were included in the final analysis. The effective rate of experimental group was greater than the control group at 3 months after operation, and the difference had significant (P < 0.05), while, the effective rate was similar in two groups at 6 and 12 months after operation (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: Both MTA and Vitapex paste are ideal filling materials in apexfication. Nevertheless, MTA may be a substitute in apexfication for its short therapy duration and precisely therapeutic effect.

Objective To investigate whether there is a thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in the eyes of diabetic patients and to analyze the relationship between RNFL thickness and several diabetic risk factors. Methods Forty-two type 2 diabetes mellitus patients aged 47-70 years were enrolled in this study. All the subjects underwent ophthalmologic examinations and glaucoma diagnosis (GDx) nerve fiber analyzer scanning with two different modes: variable cornea compensation (VCC) and enhanced cornea compensation(ECC).The GDx parameters included the temporal-superior-nasal-inferior-temporal average (TSNITave), superior and inferior averages, the TSNIT standard deviation and the nerve fiber indicator (NFI). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was applied to study the diagnostic ability of indices. The association between risk factors and the NFI was studied. Results The area under the curve for the ROC of the NFI was the largest for both the ECC and VCC modes. There was a significant relationship between age and RNFL thinning. However, there was no significant association between diabetic duration and fasting blood glucose with RNFL thinning. The influence of age on NFI was greater in diabetic patients than in control subjects. Conclusions Age has an important influence on the NFI of diabetic patients. Diabetic patients with normal ocular fundus may have RNFL thinning.

Objective To evaluate the association of age and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness by means of scanning laser polarimetry in a sample of healthy Chinese eyes. Methods One hundred and fifty eyes of 150 healthy subjects underwent RNFL scan in two different modes (Variable Cornea Compensation,VCC;Enhanced Cornea Compensation,ECC) of Glaucoma Diagnosis Variable Cornea Compensation Nerve Fiber Analyzer.The parameters included temporal-superior-nasal-inferior-temporal (TSNIT) average,superior average,inferior average,TSNIT standard deviation,and nerve fiber indicator (NFI). Results Mean values of TSNIT average,superior average,inferior average,TSNIT standard deviation and NFI in VCC mode were (57.12±6.26),(69.35±4.21),(67.59±7.06),(25.46±4.02),(17.35±7.59),while the parameters' values in ECC mode were (56.15±5.32),(68.24±6.63),(66.90±2.40),(24.80±6.76),(18.84±8.51),respectively.The differences between the values of VCC and ECC modes were not statistically significant.The parameters' values of total subjects were associated with age.But there were no significant associations between age and parameter values in the eyes of those older than 40 years old subjects. Conclusions There are no significant differences between the RNFL values detected by VCC and ECC modes in 150 healthy Chinese eyes.Age has influence on RNFL thinning in 21-70 years old healthy eyes,but not in the eyes of older than 40 years old people.

Objective To explore the features of gallbladder adenomyoma in sonogram, and improve the abilities of diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Method Sonograms of 8 patients with proven gallbladder adenomyoma were retrospectively analyzed and correlated with pathologic findings. Results Eight patients had sonographic evidence of localized intramural nodular,which were round-like and hypoechoic,with anechoic space and tiny bright echos, confined almost exclusively to the fundus of gallbladder. Five patients were also evident with associated gallstones and chronic cholecytitis. Conclusion Sonograms of gallbladder adenomyoma have marked features, which can be differentially diagnosed from other projective lesions of gallbladder.

Liver cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer death.Partial hepatectomy and liver transplantation are the most effective therapies.However, postoperative tumor metastasis and recurrence are the main obstacles in the long-term survival.Liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs) within cancer tissues are associated with tumor occurrence, proliferation and tolerance to current therapy and are regarded as the major root of metastasis and recurrence.Eradication of LCSCs is a novel therapy of liver cancer.In this review, surface markers of LCSCs and mechanisms of pro-metastasis and recurrence, circulating LCSCs,microenvironment of LCSCs and their roles in the metastasis and relapse are summarized.
