In recent years,there are gradually increasing attentions on diabetic osteoporosis.Diabeticosteoporosis is characterized by insidious onset,high incidence,and risk of disability.Metabolic disorders caused bydiabetes mellitus are related to an imbalance between osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic resorption.Diabetesalters bone mass and increases the risk of fracture.In this review the influence of diabetes on osteoporosis isdiscussed.

AlM: To comprehensively evaluate of visual quality after epipolis laser in situ keratomileusis ( EPl-LASlK) in mild to moderate myopia.METHODS: Sixty cases ( 120 eyes ) undergone EPl-LASlK with equivalent diopter ( SE ) were divided into two groups:mild myopia group (60 eyes) and moderate myopia group ( 60 eyes ) . Objective visual acuity, aberration, contrast sensitivity and glare sensitivity were measured before and 1wk; 1, 6mo after operation, and made comparative analysis. RESULTS: Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) of two groups were better than that of preoperative(P<0. 05). Postoperative 6mo, there were significant differences on total high RMS between two groups ( P < 0. 05 ). Before operation and 6mo after operation, higher - order aberrations had statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0. 05). After 1wk and 1mo, there were statistical significances at the five frequencies between two groups (P<0. 05). After 6mo, the mild myopia group returned to preoperative levels, however, moderate myopia group in the high frequency region ( 18. 0c/d ) had significant difference with before surgery (P<0. 05). 1wk after surgery, there were statistically significant differences on the 3. 0, 6. 0, 12.0, 18. 0c/d frequency in both groups (all P<0. 05), 1mo after surgery, there were significant difference at 12.0, 18.0c/d frequencies (all P<0.05), after 6mo, both groups returned to preoperative levels, showed no significant difference.CONCLUSlON:Visual quality is poorer in mild myopia patients than that in moderate myopia at early stage after EPl-LASlK. Better visual quality is observed at mid-late stage.

Objective To explore the preventive and therapeutic effects of diminazene (DIZE) on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in rats.Methods Left pulmonary lobectomy combined with injection of monocrotaline was used to establish a rat model of pulmonary arterial hypertension.One hundred adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank control group (group A,n=20),DIZE control group (group B,n=20),PAH model group (group C,n=20),PAH model plus DIZE group (group D,n=20) and PAH model plus DIZE and C-16 group (group E,n=20).Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2),IL-6 and IL-8 levels were determined by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) and right ventricular hypertrophy index (RVHI) were measured.The wall thickness (WT) and intimal hyperplasia score were calculated,and the pulmonary vascular lesions were analyzed using elastic fiber staining.Results RVHI,ACE2 enzyme activity and WT in the group A were significantly different from those of the groups C,D and E (P<0.05).Those of the group D and E were significantly different (P<0.05).The five groups showed significant differences in the overall analysis of each index (P<0.05).Conclusions Diminazene can increase the ACE2 enzyme activity,and decrease the mPAP,RVHI and WT,while reducing the pulmonary arterial medial hypertrophy,and inhibit intimal hyperplasia of pulmonary arterioles.The results of this study provide an experimental basis for the use of diminazene in the treatment of human pulmonary hypertension.

Objective To make a nationwide external quality assessment for drug sensitivity testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, analyze the problems in and factors associated with the drug sensitivity testing, and to enhance the quality of drug sensitivity testing of N. gonorrhoeae at different monitoring sites. Methods Samples were uniformly delivered to monitoring sites by express mail service. Test results were analyzed in the National Center for STD Control, and the evaluation results were fed back to these monitoring sites. Results A total of 105 quality control samples were delivered from 2007 to 2009, with a response rate of 88.57% (93/105). Thirteen monitoring sites were enrolled in the external quality assessment, including 9 laboratories in 2007, 9 in 2008 and 13 in 2009. The total percentage amounted to 77.42% (24/31) for qualified laboratories during the 3 years, including 6 laboratories in 2007, 7 in 2008 and 11 in 2009. The coincidence rate increased for the detection of penicillinase-producing N. gonorrhoeae (PPNG), N. gonorrhoeae with chromosome-mediated ciprofloxacin resistance, and N. gonorrhoeae with chromosome-mediated spectinomycin resistance, and declined for the detection of N. gonorrhoeae with plasmid-mediated high level tetracycline-resistance (TRNG) and N. gonorrhoeae with chromosome-mediated ceftriaxone resistance. Conclusions The 3-year external quality assessment reveals an improvement in the overall quality of drug sensitivity testing of N. gonorrhoeae at national monitoring sites; the accuracy is improved markedly for the detection of PPNG, N. gonorrhoeae with resistance to spectinomycin and ciprofloxacin, but is needed to increase for the detection of ceftriaxone-resis- tant N. gonorrhoeae and TRNG.

[Objective] To observe the effects of Oysters, Abalone shel , Concha arcae, Mother-of-pearl, Concha cypraeae, Clamshel , these six testacean TCM on the goiter rats. [Method] 72 healthy SD rats were randomly divided into nine groups:normal group, model group, positive group and six testacean TCM groups. Rats were given daily propylthiouracil (0.15 g·kg-1), continuous modeling for 10d, weighing thyroid wet weight,assaying T3, T4 and TSH contents in serum by ELISA, observing the morphological changes of thyroid under light microscope. [Result] Rats in the model group compared with normal group in-creased the relative weight of thyroid, reduced the content of T3,T4, and there was a significant difference( P<0.01), thyroid fol icular epithelial cellhyperplasia was obvious;compared with the model group, Oysters and Clamshel group made the content of T3,T4 in rat rebound, and there was a significant difference (P<0.05);Oyster and Clamshel group’s thyroid fol icular cellhyperplasia were not obvious, while the hyperplasia had different levels for the other 4 kinds of testacean TCM. [Conclusion] Oysters and Clamshel were better to improve the thyroid function of the goiter model rats.

Objective To study the correlation between the blood selenium level and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)with the occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).Methods Among 1 360 pregnant women in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2012,68 cases GDM were diagnosed as GDM (observation group)and other 113 non-GDM pregnant women were ran-domly selected from these 1360 pregnant women as the control group.The serum selenium level and GSH-Px activity were com-pared between the two groups.Results The selenium level and GSH-Px activity in the control group were higher than those in the observation group.The selenium level was (3.07±0.51)mmol/L in the control group and (2.06±0.41)mmol/L in the observa-tion group,respectively;the GSH-Px activity was (197.23±18.73)U in the control group and (151.35±19.67)U in the observa-tion group,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P <0.05).Conclusion The decrease of serum se-lenium level and GSH-Px activity may be one of the pathogenic causes of GDM.
