Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 1995;0(12):-
Forty rats were randomly divided into four groups and intraperitoneal injection of 1%lidocaine 400mg/kg (group Ⅰ)、1%lidocaine-?-cyclodextrin 400mg/kg (group Ⅱ)、1%alkalinized lidocaine 400mg/kg(group Ⅰ)and 1% alkalinized lidocaine-?-cyclodextrin 400mg/kg(group Ⅳ) respectively. The results showed that there was a significant difference of lethal time between group Ⅰ and Ⅱ, and no significant difference between gronp Ⅲ and Ⅳ; the times of toxic and lethal effects of group Ⅲ and Ⅳ were shortened markedly as compared to group Ⅰ and Ⅱ. It is concluded that ?-cyclodextrin can postpone the release and absorbance of lidocaine,and alkalizer can weaken this action of ?—cyclodextrin.

Diabetic cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy is the most common and troublesome complication of diabetes mellitus.Diabetic cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy contributes greatly to the morbidity,mortality.Factors in the pathogenesis of these complications are altered metabolism,vascular insufficiency,loss of growth factor trophism,and autoimmune destruction of nerves in a visceral and cutaneous distribution.There are studies in progress that suggest cardiovascular autonomic nerves can be induced to regenerate,and the future for patients with diabetic cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy is brighter.
7.Nuclear factor kappa B and diabetic retinopathy
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2004;0(01):-
Diabetic retinopathy is a highly specific vascular complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.NF-?B can be triggered by oxidative stress and controls several programs of gene expression,the majority of which participate in the host inflammation and immune response.Evidence has accumulated that NF-?B is involved in the development of diabetic retinopathy.NF-?B activation induced by diabetes is associated with the apoptosis found in the pericyte,leukocyte-endothelial interaction,capillary basement membrane thickening,neovascularization and formation of epiretinal membranes.Inhibition of(NF-?B) activation has been suggested as a treatment strategy in diabetic retinopathy.
8.Analysis on status and determinants of outpatient service utilization of rural floating population in Beijing at different residence time
Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2017;49(3):476-482
Objective: To study the status and identify the determinants of outpatient service utilization of rural floating population in Beijing who have different accumulated residence time.Methods: The survey data of rural floating population health and health care services in Beijing in 2014 were used, and the migrant population aged 18 years and above were taken as the research object.Whether to use outpatient service within two weeks was taken as dependent variable, gender, age, education level, self-assessment score of socioeconomic status, accumulated residence time in Beijing, health insurance, average household income, suffering from high blood pressure or diabetes as independent variables.Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors.Results: The average age of the research object was 36.7 years, with mostly secondary education.The average accumulated residence time in Beijing was 8.4 years.The two-week prevalence rate was 10.3%, the two-week visiting rate calculated by person-time was 6.0%.The Logistic regression model suggested that, socioeconomic status, accumulated residence time and suffering from high blood pressure or diabetes were statistically significant determinants of outpatient service utilization.Conclusion: The research object is a younger and less educated population, their health status is better and outpatient service utilization is lower.It is found that people who have longer accumulated residence time in Beijing have lower outpatient service utilization.This is because people with longer residence time have lower age-adjusted two-week prevalence rate.This is also because people with longer residence time have larger proportion of taking continuous measures under doctor's advice.It does not mean people with longer residence time have lower utilization of medical service.The residence time variable plays the role of proxy variable.It can solve the problem of variables' endoge-neity.At the same time, it can reflect the influence to outpatient services utilization of some determinants,which are not included in the model but varies with residence time.

Objectives To explore the clinical effect of external fixator combined antibiotic-calcium sulfate packing medullary cavity, VSD continuous drain with negative pressure and local skin flap transposition for the treatment of postoperative infected nonunion after initial debridement. Methods 20 cases of traumatic osteomyelitis from August 2012 to August 2014 were selected and taken antibiotic-calcium sulfate to focal zone. The patients were taken first-stage bone grafting for small bone defects and osteotomy for lengthening for big bone defects. For patients with cutaneous injury, local skin flap transposition was taken. For other patients with partial flap necrosis and non healing wounds, VSD continuous drain with negative pressure was taken. Results Operative incisions of 12 cases were primary healing, two cases were healing by second intention, four cases of flap were survived after local skin flap transposition, and two cases of flap were partial necrosis and healed by second intention. 11 cases of immobilization with external fixator, bone healing was satisfactory in seven cases after osteotomy for lengthening and two cases of bone delayed union in osteotomy for lengthening and recovered after bone transplantation. All patients were followed up for average 19(6-32) months with permatoplasty survived; all the infection of wounds was controlled and relapse-free. The fracture healing period was eight(4-12) month without pin site infection, osteoporosis and deformed healing. But there were 1 cases of knee stiffness and two cases stiffness of ankle joint. Conclusion After initial debridement, taken external fixator and taken antibiotic-calcium sulfate to medullary cavity and fracture ends. The patients were taken first-stage bone grafting for small bone defects and osteotomy for lengthening for big bone defects. For the skin defect after local flap grafting, taken VSD continuous drain with negative pressure for partial necrosis of flap occurred and non healing wounds cases. The method obtained prominent curative effect, reduces the treatment cycle and reduce the complications in the treatment of postoperative infected nonunion.
