Objective To explore the relation between glucose fluctuation state and diabetic chronic compli-cations in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods 169 cases with type 2 diabetes mellitus were divided into two groups: 78 cases with constant high glucose(group Ⅰ) and 91 cases with glucose fluctuation state( group Ⅱ ). The clinical data such as fasting plasma glucose(FBG) ,fasting blood insulin(FINS) ,fasting blood C peptide,2 hours postprandial plasma glucose (2hPG) ,2 hours postprandial blood insuline (2hINS) ,2 hours postprandial blood C peptide, glycosy-lated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and blood pressure (BP), body mass index ( BMI ), urinary albumin excretion rote (UAER) ,triglyeeride(TG) ,total cholesterol(TC) ,high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) ,low density lipopro-tein cholesterol(LDL-C) were measured. Results 2hPG in group Ⅱ was much higher than that in group Ⅰ (P<0.01) ,but 2 hours postprandial blood insuline and 2 hours postprandial blood C peptide in group Ⅱ were much lower than those in group Ⅰ (P<0.01). The incidence of diabetic chronic complications was higher in group Ⅱ compared with that in group Ⅰ (P<0.01). Conclusion These findings suggest that glucose fluctuation state with type 2 dia-betes mellitus had increased diabetic chronic complications.

Objective To comprehend the metabolic disorder of the obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods According to body mass index( BMI),176 cases of T2DM were divided into 2 groups;obesity(95 cases) and non-obesity(81 cases),the waist circumference(W) ,hip circumference(H) ,fasting plasma glucose(FBG) ,2-hour postprandial plasma glucose(2hBG) ,fasting blood insulin(FINS),2 hours postprandial blood insuline(2hINS), renal function, triglycetide(TG), total cholesterol(TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C ), glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c) and blood pressure(BP) were tested.Results The BMI,the ratio of W/H (WHR), serum uric acid (BUA), FINS, 2bINS, FCP and 2hCP in the obese group were higher than those in non-obese group(P <0.01);systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in obese patients were higher than those in the non-obese group(P >0.05) ,while the prevalence of abdorminal obesity.Hypertension significantly increased in obese group than those in non-obese group.Conclusion Among the T2DM ,metabolic disorder in obese patients is even more serious.It is very improtant for obese patients with T2DM to be given combined treatment to improve the metabolic disorder,that includes controlling blood glucose, decreasing weight and lightening insulin resistance.

Objective To search for the normal value and developmental regular rule of motor norve conduction in children.Methods One hundred and fourty-nine children aged from 0 to 14 years old were divided into 7 groups in accordance with age. There were 19 pecrsons aged from 20 to 35 years old in adult group. The motor nerve conduction function of median nerve, ulnar perve, tibial nerve and peroneal nerve of every suhject was determined by nerve evoked potential meter.Results The terminal latency of action potential of every nerve is decreased along with growing up of age before 6 years old and increased after 6 years old. The conduction velocity of ulnar nerve is the fastest,then the peroneal nerve and median nerve, that of tibial nerve is the slowest. Median nerve development quicken after 3 months of birth and approch ulnar nerve at the time of 3 years old. Tibial nerye get into fast development period from 3 months to 1 years old and catch up peroneal nerve. The conduction velocity of every nerve extend to adult level in th period of 3~6 years old.Conclusion The every parameler of nervous conduction has a great difference of age in the period of child,particularly in that of infancy. therefore, the normal values should be set up in accordance with proper age groups. This study shows that it's suitable to divide groups in accordance with new-born, 3 and 6 months, 1, 3 and 6 years old. Adult criterion should be used in the children dbove 6 years old.

OBJECTIVE:To improve rational drug use and reduce potentially inappropriate medication (PIM). METHODS:PIM of 700 elderly inpatients in internal medicine department of our hospital was evaluated by Beers criteria(2012 edition)and STOPP/START criteria. RESULTS:700 inpatients whose mean ages were (76.3 ± 7.2) years old took (12.1 ± 4.9) kinds of drugs per patient. 144 cases involved PIM(20.6%). The number of PIM was 220 in total,among which there were 117 cases/times relat-ed to drugs and 22 cases/times related to disease in according to Beers criteria,9 cases/times of STOPP and 72 cases/times of START. Drug with most frequency of PIM in accordance with Beers was benzodiazepines and most frequency in STOPP was thia-zides that used by patients with gout histonry. The most omission frequency of START prescription were absence of metformin thera-py for type 2 diabetes and absence of antiplatelet therapy for diabetes complicated with cardiovascular risk. CONCLUSIONS:A high prevalence of PIM in elderly inpatients in our hospital requires various measures to prevent its occurrence.

Objective A distintegrin and metalloproteinase 33 (ADAM33) is one of the asthma susceptibility gene, which is closely related to the pathogenesis of asthma and airway hyperreactivity.The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of serum ADAM33 in patients with different severity of asthma and the relation to airway chronic inflammation through clinical trials.MethodsPatients diagnosed as mild-to-moderate asthma (n=54), severe asthma (n=35) and healthy controls (n=30) were recruited from May 2015 to May 2016.The serum IgE, ADAM33, IL-4 and IL-13 1evels and Eosinophil (EOS) in peripheral blood were detected, and the correlation analysis was performed Results The serum levels of ADAM33 in mild-to-moderate asthma group, severe asthma group and healthy control group were 23.8±6.21pg/mL,64.8±12.8pg/mL and 18.3±4.49pg/mL, respectively.The ADAM33 levels in mild-to-moderate asthma group and severe asthma group were higher than those in control group (P<0.05).The ADAM33 levels in severe asthma group were higher than those in mild to moderate asthma group.(P<0.05).The correlation analysis showed that ADAM33 had positive correlation with IL-4 and IL-13(r=0.79 and r=0.81), but no correlation with EOS and IgE(r=0.54 and r=0.46).Conclusion The expression of serum ADAM33 was up-regulated in asthmatic patients along with the severity of asthma.ADAM33 was positively correlated with serum IL-4 and IL-13, implying that the expression of ADAM33 may be regulated by Th2 type cytokines.

Objective To investigate the short-term clinical outcomes and perinatal risk factors in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) with delayed enteral feeding (DEF).Methods Three hundred and fifty-five cases of VLBWI admitted to neonatal intensive care unit from Jan 2007 to Oct 2011 served as study objects,and the clinical data of which were analysed retrospectively.According to days to initiate enteral feeding after birth,355 VLBWI were divided into two groups:DEF group (initiate enteral feeds ≥5 days,n =55)and early feeding group (initiate enteral feeds ≤4 days,n =298).The short-term clinical outcomes were compared in 299 cases,including DEF group 44 cases and early feeding group 255 cases,in which cure or improvement were achieved and hospital stay ＞ 14 d.The perinatal risk factors were subjected to univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results The incidence of DEF was 16.05％ (57/355) in VLBWI.The time to regain birth weight in DEF group was significantly longer than early feeding group [(11.86 ± 3.86) d vs (9.76 ± 3.83) d,P ＜ 0.01],and the incidences of parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis [27.27％ (12/44)] and extrauterine growth retardation at discharge [79.55 ％ (35/44)] in DEF group were also significantly higher than early feeding group respectively [11.76％ (30/255) and 61.57％ (157/255),P ＜ 0.05].Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that infants born to mother with placental abruption had higher risk of exposure for DEF than those without placental abruption (OR =2.74,95％ CI 1.06 ～7.05,P ＜ 0.05).Similarly,infants with mechanical ventilation had also higher odds of DEF than those with-out mechanical ventilation (OR =3.51,95 ％ CI 1.92 ～ 6.42,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Placental abruption and mechanical ventilation are independent risk factors for DEF in VLBWI.Improving neonatal outcome through enhancing obstetric quality and strengthening cooperation between obstetric and neonatology department is still the key to reduce DEF in VLBWI.

Objective To investigate the changes in the abilities of invasion and metastasis in surviving human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) cells after X-ray irradiation and the related mechanism.Methods The change in radiosensitivity after X-ray irradiation was determined by colony formation assay.The abilities of invasion and metastasis were evaluated by MTF adhesion assay and Transwell invasion and migration assay in vitro.The mRNA and protein expression of E-cadherin,vimentin,tumor growth factor (TGF)-β1,matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2,and MMP-9 was measured by real-time RT-PCR using SYBR Green fluorescence and Western blot.Results The colony formation assay showed that the surviving A549 cells after X-ray irradiation were more resistant to irradiation (ratio of D0 values =0.94).Their abilities of adhesion,invasion,and migration were significantly increased by 1.46 times,1.40 times,and 1.45 times,respectively.In addition,the surviving cells showed enlarged intercellular spaces and had many long pseudopodi.Compared with those in the control group,the mRNA expression levels of vimentin,TGF-β1,MMP-2,and MMP-9 of surviving cells were increased by 1.37 times,2.37 times,1.80 times,and 1.50 times,respectively,the protein expression levels of the above substances were increased by 1.60 times,1.80 times,1.10 times,and 1.20 times,respectively,and the mRNA and protein expression levels of E-cadherin were decreased by 59.4％ and 74.6％.Conclusions The surviving A549 cells after X-ray irradiation have significantly increased abilities of invasion and metastasis.This may be due to radiationinduced TGF-β1 expression increase that in turn promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition and also due to radiation-induced MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression increase.

Objective Comparing the influence on cardiac-pulmonary function of health and acute lung injury (ALI)dogs by proportional assist ventilation(PAV)and pressure support ventilation(PSV)modes.Methods Use intermittent positive pressure ventilation(IPPV)mode in health and ALI dogs,calculate elastance(Ers)and resistance(Rrs),then change to PAV,set the assist ratio 60%.Then change the mode into PSV,set the inspiratory pressure(IPAP)according to PAV,so that tidal volume(VT)and peak pressure(Ppeak)were the sanle as that of PSV respectively.Observe the changes of respiratory mechanics,blood gas analysis and hemodynamics during mechanical ventilation.Results For health dogs,compared with PAV,mean airway pressure(mPaw)and work of breath of ventilator(WOBv)of PSV was higher than those of PAV when VT were similar,the difference was remarkable;while the influence on hemodynamics was not different.For ALI dogs,compared with PAV,Ppeak,mPaw and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure(PCWP)of PSV was higher than those of PAV when VT were similar,the difference was remarkable.Conclusion For health and ALI dogs,compared with PSV,PAV has lower airway pressure and less influence on hemodynamies.
