Cushing's syndrome is caused by the excessive secretion of cortisol from the adrenal cortex.Hypertension is one of the most distinguishing features of Cushing's syndrome,as it is present in about 80% of adult patients.The various pathogenetic mechanisms that have been proposed for the development of cortisol-induced hypertension in Cushing's syndrome and its management are discussed.

BACKGROUND: Sodium alginate-poly-lysine can cause foreign body reaction to induce functional inactivation of the microencapsulated islets following transplantation. Can barium chloride solve this problem?OBJECTIVE: To assess the biocompat ibility of purified sodium alginate-barium chloride microcapsules and the bioactivity of the microencapsulated islets of rats.DESIGN: A randomized controlled experiments based on the experimental animals.SETTING: Department of endocrinology in a university hospital.MATERIALS: This experiment was completed in the Laboratory of Endocrinology and Department of Laboratory Animals, First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University during July to December 2002. Specific pathogen-free SD and Wistar rats were provided by Center of Animal Experiment, Nanjing Medical University and Animal Experiment Center of Shanghai respectively.METHODS: Purified and non-purified sodium alginate-barium chloride microcapsules were prepared with one-step method using domestically made equipment. The microcapsule was transplanted intraperitoneally into normal SD rats and its biocompatibility was observed 4 weeks later. The bioactivity of the microencapsulated islets was also observed following transplantation in streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic Wistar rat models.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The recovery rate of the transplanted empty microcapsule; ② Results of bioactivity assessment of the insulin from the microencapsulated islets; ③ Histological examination.RESULTS: Four weeks after the transplantation, the recovery rate of the transplanted empty microcapsules in the purified group was higher that that in non-purified group( P > 0.05), and the purified microcapsules retained intact and smooth morphology with out causing fibrosis. The islets encapsulated by purified sodium alginate-barium chloride microcapsules showed good insulin-ecreting function in in vitro culture, without significant difference from non-microencaps ulated islets( P > 0. 05) . The islets transplanted via the microcapsules into diabetic Wistar rat models induced by STZ had a survival time over 6 weeks.CONCLUSION: The purified sodium alginate-barium chloride microcapsules have good bioactivity and tissue compatibility, which might provide a solution for the source of donor diabetic islets in the treatment of type Ⅰ diabetes.

Objective To investigate effects of volume,distribution and leakage of bone cement in ver- tebroplasty on the adjacent intervertebral bodies using an experimentally calibrated and anatomically accurate fi- nite-element model of elderly L4-L5 vertebral bodies.Methods Computed tomography(CT)scanning was done,at 1 mm intervals,on L4-L5 vertebral bodies of the lumbar spine of an old man cadaver that had no abnormal findings on rnentgenograms.The L4-L5 motion segment data were obtained from the CT scans to establish in computer a three-dimensional finite element model of L4-L5 functional spinal unit(FSU)with the software Ansys 7.0.Compressive load after virtual vertebroplasty on the damaged model,unipedicular and bipedieolar injections and leakage of cement into the intervertebral space,and the resulting endplate and disc stresses of the adjacent vertebral bodies were analyzed in various spatial distributions of the filling material and different loading conditions. An anatomically accurate finite-element model of elderly L4-L5 vertebral bodies was developed.Results The FSU study suggested that changes in stress and strain at adjacent levels were minimal.Furthermore,endplale and disc stresses of the adjacent vertebral bodies were not influenced by bone cement filling volumes or distributions except under bending,whereas asymmetric distribution and leakage of bone cement to the disk increased the stress of adjacent endplates.Conclusion Since asymmetric distribution and significant leakage of cement into the intervertebral space can increase the stresses of endplates of adjacent vertebral bodies and may lead to a fracture, symmetric placement of cement in operation should be achieved and leakage of cement avoided.

One hundred and twenty four patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) admitted to the Department of Endocrinology of Chuzhou First People's Hospital from April to October 2019 whose blood glucose levels were not controlled after treatment with metformin (2.0 g/d) for more than 3 months were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomly divided into oral drug group and liraglutide group with 62 cases in each group. On the basis of metformin, the oral drug group was treated with acarbose (300 mg/d); the liraglutide group was treated with liraglutide (1.2 mg/d). The course of treatment was 3 months. The body weight, fasting blood glucose (FPG), 2-h postprandial blood glucose (2 hPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) levels were compared between the two groups before and after treatment, and the gastrointestinal symptoms and the incidence of hypoglycemia were analyzed. After 3-month treatment the body weight, FPG, 2 hPG, HbA1c of the two groups were lower than the baseline levels ( P<0.05). Compared with the oral group, the body weight, FPG, 2 hPG, HbA1c and TG in liraglutide group were more markedly decreased ( P<0.05). The gastrointestinal reaction of liraglutide group was significantly higher than that of the oral drug group, and there was no hypoglycemia in both groups. The data indicate that liraglutide combined with metformin can significantly improve the blood glucose, blood lipid and body weight of T2DM patients and no hypoglycemia occurs during the treatment.

The potential effect of donor CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T ceLls on the suppression of rejection for allogenetic islet transplantation in vivo was investigated. CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells were generated by magnetic activated cell sorting and were ailogeneically transfered with islet transplantation in streptozotocin-induced diabetic BALB/cByJ mice. The results showed that allogeneic CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells prolong islet graft survival and normoglycemia in transplanted allogeneic diabetic mice.

With the advent of Twenty-First century, more and more genome-wide association studies (GWAS) showed that idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were closely related with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles, such as the associations of abacavir-HLA-B*5701, allopurinol-HLA-B*5801, and carbamazepine-HLA-B*1502, etc. To explore the mechanisms of these idiosyncratic drug reactions, hapten hypothesis, danger signal hypothesis, pharmacological interaction (P-I) concept and autoimmune mechanism are proposed. In this paper, recent GWAS studies on the HLA-mediated adverse drug reactions and underlying mechanism are reviewed in detail.
