1.Administration status of enteric-coated aspirin among diabetic patients in Xujiahui subdistrict of Shanghai
Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2011;10(6):404-405
The administration status of enteric coated aspirin in 348 diabetic patients aged over 40 from Xujiahui Subdistrict of Shanghai was surveyed. One hundred and two out 348 patients ( 29. 3% ) used aspirin regularly, among them only 36 cases used the correct dosage (75 - 162 mg/d), accounting for 10. 3% (36/348) of all patients surveyed. The results indicate that aspirin was not used properly in diabetic patients to prevent the heart and cerebrovascular diseases,and it is necessary for medical providers to promote health education for diabetic patients.

Aim To investigate the effect of ranolazine postconditioning on myocardial apoptosis, the reperfusion injurysalvage kinase and the opening of MPTP in isolated rat hearts subjected to ischemia and reperfusion.Methods The langendorff mode was set up.Fifty-five SD rat hearts were randomly divided into 8 groups (n=7): ischema and reperfusion (I/R group),20 μmol·L~(-1) ranolazine postconditioning group(RPostC),ranolazine and the specific MPTP opener atractyloside group (RA), ranolazine and the specific ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 group (RP), ranolazine and the specific PI3K inhibitor PD98059 wortmannin group(RW), atractyloside group(A), PD98059 group (P) and wortmannin group (W). The isolated hearts were subjected to 30 minutes ischemia,10minutes drug postconditioning and 5 mitutes K-H buffer reperfusion.Myocardial apoptosis (TUNEL-positive cells), apoptotic index (AI), the opening of MPTP (spectrophotometry) and the The expression of p-AKT and p-ERK1/2 protein were measured at the end of reperfusion in each group.Results Compared with IR group, Myocardial AI and opening of MPTP were decreased in RPostC groups (P<0.05), the expression of p-AKT, p-ERK1/2 protein were increased in RPostC, RA, RP, and RW groups (P<0.05).There were no significant differences in other groups(P>0.05). Compared with RPostC group, Myocardial AI and opening of MPTP were increased in RA, RP, RW, A, P and W groups (P<0.05), and the expression of p-AKT、p-ERK1/2 protein were decreased in RP, RW, A, P and W groups (P<0.05). There were no significant differences of the expressions of p-AKT,p-ERK1/2 protein in RA groups (P>0.05). Compared with RA group, there were no significant differences in myocardial AI and opening of MPTP (P>0.05) and the expression of p-AKT and p-ERK1/2 protein were decreased in RP, RW, A, P and W groups (P<0.05).Conclusions Ranolazine postconditioning can attenuate myocardial apoptosis in isolated rat hearts subjected to ischemia and reperfusion via activation RISK pathway and inhibition of the opening of MPTP.

Objective To investigate the physical and mechanical properties of home-made bone cement mixed with different antibiotics.Methods The specimens of bone cement each of 40g were divid-ed in to6groups depending on mixed antibiotics,groupⅠmixed with1g gentamicin,groupⅡwith2g gen tam icin,groupⅢwith1g cephradine,groupⅣwith1.5g cefuroxine,groupⅤwith1g ceftriaxone and groupⅥwith out any antibiotics served as control.The dough time,compressing depth,compressive strength,bending strength and bending elastic modulus were measured respectively,elution examination of antibiotics from bone ce ment was performed by chromatography.Results The dough time and compress-ing depth of the groups were better than that of ISO5833standard,and there was no significant difference a-mong the groups.The com pressive strength and bending strength of the groupⅡwere lower than that ISO5833standard,but there was no significant difference among the groups by analysis of variance.The bending elastic modulus of the groupⅡwas lower than the control group and other groups(P

Objective To study the causes, clinical feature,diagnoses and prognosis of pseudoprecocious puberty. Methods Thirty-eight cases with pseudoprecocious puberty were diagnosed by the serum LH and FSH of GnRHa stimulation test, pelvic ultrasonography and bone age assessment; they were treated and followed up. Results Peaks of LH were(0.49?0.48) IU/L, peaks of FSH were(0.54?0.78) IU/L, the level of E2 in 26 cases increased (36.11?15.70) ng/L,17-hydroxyprogesterone of 1 case was beyond 266 nmol/L. All cases showed hysterauxesis (3.98?1.18) mL. Cases of wrong contraceptive intake were 29,5 cases of McCune-Albright syndrome,2 cases of ovarian cyst, 1 case of ovarian granular cell tumor,1 case of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Conclusions The causes of pseudoprecocious puberty are multifactors. Early diagnosis,therapy,follow-up are very important for prognosis.

By using distraction osteogenesis technique, 3 cases of mandibular hypoplasia were treated by home-made and German-made jaw distractors: including one patient suffered from bilateral ankylosis of temporo-mandibular joint and 2 patients from deficiency of mandible. The duration of distraction osteogenesis was one month. The bone distractor was removed 3 months after operation. Satisfactory results were obtained in all 3 cases. Distraction osteogenesis can successfully be used in mandibular functional reconstruction and has much more advantages than traditional technique.

Objective To explore the relationship between CA repeats polymorphism in the promoter region of IGF-1 gene and MS in the Han nationality.Methods 1047 subjects were recruited from general population of Dongcheng District in Beijing.MS was diagnosed based on the criteria for MS in 2005 by IDF.Genomic DNA was extracted by standard methods.PCR,Genescan,Genotyper and direct sequencing were conducted to screen CA repeats polymorphism in the promoter region of the human IGF-1 gene.Levels of plasma glucose,lipids,serum insulin and IGF-1 were determined.BMI and ISI were calculated.Results The prevalence of MS in (CA) 19 homozygote was lower than that in (CA) 19 heterozygote (9.1% vs 18.3%,x2 = 8.55,P < 0.01) and without (CA) 19 (9.1% vs 24.0%,x2 = 18.05,P < 0.01).The level of serum IGF-1 had differences among the three groups [ (114.0 ± 52.6) μg/L vs (136.6 ± 80.5) μg/L vs (129.2±49.1) μg/L,F =3.16,P <0.05],(CA)19 homozygote had lower serum IGF-1 than (CA)19heterozygote and without (CA) 19.BMI,WC,TG,FIns,2hIns and ISI had difference among the three groups (P <0.05).Conclusions (CA)19 repeats polymorphism in the promoter region of IGF-1 gene was significantly associated with MS in Han nationality.

microRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-protein-coding RNAs,which play important roles in the cell proliferation,differentiation,apoptosis,as well as activation of oncogenic and antioncogenic signals.Researches show that the abnormal expressions of miRNAs are closely related to the tumorigenesis,histological type,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of lung cancer.So miRNAs may be the most potential and promising therapeutic targets for lung cancer.
