Objective To know the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and its risk factors in the elderly in Gushan Town, Fuzhou City. Methods From July to November of 2007, 4653 elderly permanent residents from 14 administrative units were selected using random cluster sampling. Results The prevalence of elderly type 2 diabetes was 11.2%. Non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed that age, occupation, monthly income (OR=1.42, 95%CI: 1.13～1.77), family history of diabetes (OR=6.49, 95%CI: 4.62～9.10), concen- tric obesity (OR=1.47, 95%CI: 1.15～1.88) were independent risk factors for diabetes. Conclusion The type 2 diabetes prevalence rate of the elderly was higher, and the health education and interventions should be strengthened to the people who have family history of diabetes and concentric obesity.

Objective To compare the morphological features and the development of Raillietina echinobothrida and R.tetragona from chicken.Methods The parasites were collected from chicken digestive tract, and 3-5 fresh scolex fragments were separated.After being washed, fixed, dried, glided by ion sputter, the specimens were observed and photographed under scanning electron microscope.The cestodes were immersed in tap water for natural stretch and proglottids of different development stages were used for serial paraffin sections by conventional method, stained with HE and mounted in gum.Morphological observation was carried out by optical microscopy.The naturally stretched worms were pressed between two glass, stained, dehydrated, cleared, mounted, and observed under optical microscope.Results The body of the two species consists of scolex, neck and strobilae.Each mature proglottid showed a set of male and female reproductive system and genital openings on one side.Testes located on both sides of the ovary and behind vitellarium.A complete worm of R.echinobothrida was shorter than R.tetragona, with a round scolex and suckers and short neck.The ovary looked like leaf and vitellarium was in kidney-shape.There were many acid particles and calcareous corpuscles in gravid proglottids.Egg capsule showed no clear boundary and contained only one egg.However, the scolex and suckers of R.tetragona were oval in shape, and the neck was long and thin.The ovary was flower-like.Each egg capsule contained 4-12 eggs and many calcareous corpuscles, each of which was surrounded by a membrane.The male reproductive system matures first in both species.As the two reproductive systems matured, the proglottids became gravid after fertilization.The formation of egg capsule in the two species was similar.Conclusion There are no significant morphological and development differences between the two species of Raillietina.

Objective To observe the influence of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide(rhBNP)on serum HMGB1 levels in canines'acute renal injury induced by endotoxin and explore its protective role of rhBNP in protecting canines'kidney against acute renal injury.Methods A total of 20 healthy dogs were randomly divided into four groups:blank group,sepsis shock group,low-dose intervention group and high dose intervention group, and there were 5 rats in each group.After establishing the model of canines'sepsis shock induced by endotoxin,15 canines (besides blank group)were randomly divided into 3 groups.As follows,5 μg/kg rhBNP was given to the low-dose intervention group,10μg/kg rhBNP was given to the high-dose intervention group.But nothing was given to control group.Systemic vascular resistance index(SVRI)at 0 h,2 h,4 h,8 h,12 h were observed by PICCO instrument.High mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB-1)and creatinine(CR)in blood samples at each time point were detected.After 12 hours,kidney samples were taken for histological examination.Results The results revealed that some renal tubulars epithelial cell were swelled,some epithelial cells were atrophy and interstitial cells swelled in control group under the light microscope.Kidney pathology score was 2-3.But these changes were improved in low-and high-dose intervention groups,and there were no significant difference in the latter two groups,kidney of both groups pathology score were 1-2.Compared with control group at the same point,CR of blood serum were significantly decreased in low-dose intervention group at 8 h,12 h(P<0.01), and high-dose intervention group significantly decreased at 4 h,8 h,12 h(P<0.01).Compared with low-dose intervention group at the same point,CR of blood serum in high-dose intervention group were significantly decreased at 4 h,8 h,12 h (P<0.05).Compared with control group at the same point, systemic vascular resistance index(SVRI)were significantly decreased in low-dose intervention group at 2 h (P<0.01 ),but significantly decreased in high-dose intervention group at 2 h and 4 h (P<0.01).Compared with low-dose intervention group at the same point,SVRI in high-dose intervention group were significantly decreased at 4 h (P<0.05 ).Compared with control group at the same point,the expressions of high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB-1)in blood serum in low- and high-dose intervention groups were significantly decreased(P<0.01);Compared with low-dose intervention group at the same point,the expressions of HMGB-1 in blood serum in high-dose intervention group were significantly decreased (P<0.05).Conclusion rhBNP can effectively reduce canine kidney tissue injury mediated by endotoxin and improve kidney function,reduce SVRI,and its therapeutic effect of rhBNP was in a dose-response relationship.rhBNP can effectively reduce HMGB-1 levels in blood serum of sepsis shock canines,which may be associated with the decrease of late inflammatory factor HMGB1.

Objective To investigate the clinical and laboratory features of male patients with anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS).Methods Thirty-three male APS patients admitted to Peking University People's Hospital from January 2003 to April 2015 were enrolled.One hundred and fourteen female APS patients were selected as controls.Female patients with thrombosis were analyzed.x2 test, Fisher's exact test and t test were used for statistical analysis.Results Among male patients, 39.4％ were primary APS and 60.6％ were secondary APS.Compare with female patients,the prevalence of venous thrombosis was significantly higher than that in male APS (72.7％ vs 29.8％,x2=19.719, P=0.000).The male APS patients experienced more episodes of thrombosis (75.8％ vs 22.8％, x2=31.669, P=0.000) and not less than two locations of thrombosis than female (69.7％ vs 22.8％, x2=25.321, P=0.000), there was still significant difference between male patients and female patients with thrombosis.There was no difference of antiphopholipid antibodies between the two groups.Conclusion Male patients with antiphospholipid syndrome are more prone to have thrombosis.More clinical interventions should be implemented in male patients with APS.

BACKGROUND:Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels have rich sources that are easily obtained, which can be used to treat acute myocardial infarction. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation on acute myocardial infarction in rats. METHODS:Rat models of acute myocardial infarction were made and subjected to adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation in comparison with model and control (sham operation) groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Echocardiography findings showed significant improvement in the left ventricular end-systolic diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and ejection fraction in the cel transplantation group compared with the model group (P < 0.05). Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that myocardial infarction was evident in the model group, in which, there were rarely viable myocardial tissues and few vessels in the infarcted region, but in the cel transplantation group, there were evident survived myocardial tissues and transplanted cels. The percentage of infarct size was significantly lower in the cel transplantation group than the model group (P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical staining showed that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels were able to survive in the infarcted myocardial tissues, and the expression of cardiac troponin T in the cel transplantation group was significantly higher than that in the model group (P < 0.05). Experimental data show that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation can protect the myocardial tissues after myocardial infarction, and effectively improve the myocardial function.
