1.Islet dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus and incretin-based therapy
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2011;27(11):后插1-后插4
Several studies have demonstrated that the development of pancreatic islet α- and β-cell dysfunction is pivotal to the onset and progression of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ).Mealstimulated insulin secretion from β-cell is reduced and fails to meet the demands of the insulin-resistant state.In addition,glucagon production by α-cell,which normally maintains hepatic glucose production during fasting periods,is not suppressed.We all know that islet dysfunction is a critical target for T2DM treatment.lncretin-based therapies,including glucagon-like peptide-1 ( GLP-1 ) receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors,have been shown to be able to restore glucose sensitivity of islet cells and thus improve glycemic control.Nevertheless,their potential impact on islet function in humans remains uncertain and needs further more investigation.
2.The clinical meaning of 1h-plasma glucose cutoff value during OGTT in the screening of diabetes and IGR
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2010;18(3):204-206
Objective To determine 1 hour plasma glucose cutoff value during OGTT to screen diabetes and IGR and its relationship with islet β cell function and insulin sensitivity. Methods 4731 subjects were recruited to perform an OGTT.The cutoff value of 1h-plasma glucose during OGTT was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve).And according to the two cutoff values,we classified all the subjects to three groups,and compared HOMA-IR,HOMA-β,insulinogenic index and shape index among groups,then analyzed its correlation with each parameter. Results According to ROC results, to diagnose type 2 diabetes mellitus,the optimal cutoff value of 1h plasma glucose during OGTT was 12.935mmol/L,with sensitivity of 81.52%,specificity of 86.94%. To diagnose impaired glucose regulation(IGR),the optimal cutoff value of 1h plasma glucose was 9.815mmol/L,with sensitivity of 74.96% and specificity of 77.86%. We classified all the subjects to three groups, and among the three groups the insulinogenic index, shape index, HOMA-IR, HOMA-β showed statistically significant difference (all P<0.01). There was a negative correlation of OGTT-1hPG with insulinogenic index and HOMA-β(all P<0.01) and a positive correlation of OGTT-1h PG with shape index and HOMA-IR (all P<0.01). Conclusions To diagnose type 2 diabetes mellitus,the optimal cutoff value of 1h plasma glucose during OGTT is 12.935mmol/L.To diagnose impaired glucose regulation(IGR),the optimal cutoff value of 1h plasma glucose is 9.815mmol/L.And 1h PG can reflect the islet β-cell function and insulin resistance.
3.Reflection on the establishment of medical and health curriculum standard for higher voca-tional education
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2013;(7):654-656
One of the biggest differences between ordinary undergraduate education and higher vocational education is more emphasis on the cultivation of students' vocational skills so as to adapt to so-cial demand and employment. In order to overcome the deficiencies in current teaching outline of voca-tional education and to change from subject knowledge teaching to applied skill cultivating , medical and health curriculum standard including 'curriculum philosophy, curriculum goal, curriculum content, curriculum implementation' four elements was formulated based on concepts of 'education as base , practice orientation and lifelong learning' and cultivation mode combining industry standard with cur-riculum teaching goal and combing work with study. All measures taken above were aimed at promoting coordinated development of students' knowledge, ability and emotion and satisfying the social demand for talent.
4.Yictims'Serum electrolyte disturbances in sufferers during the Wenchuan earthquake in China
International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2009;30(5):442-445
Objective To study the electrolyte disturbances in the sufferers during the Wen-chuan earthquake in China,and investigate their possible pathomechanism. Methods Serum concentra-tions of potassium (K), sodium (Na), chlorine (Cl), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and inorganic phosphate (P) were determined in four hundred sufferers. Their values were analyzed via statistical method. Results Significant differences of all determined six electrolytes were observed among various groups. Pearson correlation analysis showed that correlative changes among electrolytes were similar in various groups except the correlation coefficients of Na-Mg in dialysis group (r= 0.066, P = 0.546) and non-dialysis group (r=-0.433, P= 0.044). Multivariate logistic analysis revealed the highest risk factor was K+,which led to crush injury (OR= 28.037, P= 0.000) and crush syndrome (OR=6.434,P=0.000). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve revealed that K+ was the most specific (specificity: 98.5%; cutoff value: 5.8 mmol/L),Ca2+ was the most sensitive (sensitivity: 81.1%; cutoff value: 1.75 mmol/L) for crush injury diagnosis. The specificity of serum K+ , Mg2+ amd P was comparative in diagnosis of crush syndrome. The sensitivity of Ca2+ was the highest,ac-counting for 75.3%. Conclusion Electrolyte disturbances of suffers occur during a natural disaster; serum electrolyte measurement contributes to correct diagnosis and severity assessment.
7.Effect of homecare on health of diabetic patients in China:a Meta-analysis
Modern Clinical Nursing 2015;(12):46-50
Objective To study the effect of homecare on the health of diabetic patients in China. Methods A retrieval was done all on CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database, China Biological Medicine. After excluding the literature out of the criteria, the meta-analysis was performed to compare the intervention group and control one in terms of the fasting plasma glucose , 2-hour postprandial blood glucose , quality of life , treatment compliance , standardized mean difference ( SMD ) and risk ratio ( RR ) . Results 12 RCTs, which involved 1,193 participants including 596 patients in the intervention group and 597 patients in the control group, were included in the final analysis. The fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, the quality of life, treatment compliance of the intervention group were significantly better than those of the control group , with effect size and 95% CI: SMD =-1.77, 95%CI (-2.28,-1.26);SMD=-1.62, 95%CI (-2.28,-0.95);SMD=1.31, 95%CI (0.50, 2.13);RR=1.27, 95%CI (1.13, 1.43) (P<0.01). Conclusion Homecare can improve the plasma glucose and quality of life of patients with diabetes and can help them to develop a healthy lifestyle.
8.The therapeutic effect of Buqi-Huoxue decoction on the cervical spondylotic arteriopathy
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(12):1082-1085
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of Buqi-Huoxue decoction on cervical spondylotic arteriopathy(CSA). Methods 182 patients were diagnosed with CSA in our hospital during the period of March 2009 to November 2013. Among which 92 cases were assigned to a test group(outpatients) and 90 cases to a control group. The test group was treated with traditional Chinese medicine Buqi-Huoxue decoction, while the control group was treated with flunarizine and nimodipine. The level of seriousness of the symptoms, abilities and physical signs were recorded by clinical assessment scale for cervical spondylosis(CASCS), and velocity of blood flow at systolic peak(Vs)and mean blood flow velocity(Vm) of vertebral arteries(VA)and basilar artery(BA)were measured by transcranial doppler(TCD) monitoring to evaluate the blood supply before and after the treatment. After 30 days of treatment, CASCS and the TCD were recorded again to observe the clinical symptoms and the degree of blood supply improvement, and then the data were analyzed to value the curative effect. Results CASCS score of the two groups was 88.82±5.19, and 83.46±5.72 respectively, with P<0.05. The TCD results showed that, the patients less than 60 years old in the test group had Vs values of LVA, RVA and BA at(50.52±6.86)cm/s,(49.14±5.81)cm/s,(57.20± 5.37)cm/s after the treatment, and these values of the control group were(53.70±8.14)cm/s, (51.67±7.45)cm/s, (59.76±5.11)cm/s respectively;while patients over 60 years old in the test group had Vs values of LVA, RVA and BA at(40.37±2.24)cm/s, (40.78±1.85)cm/s, (51.04±3.81)cm/s after the treatment, these values of the control group were(37.58±2.86)cm/s, (37.58±2.72)cm/s, (46.92±5.26)cm/s respectively. The effective rate of the test group was 97.83%, while the value was 88.89%of the control group, which also showed a significant difference(χ2=13.743, P=0.01). Conclusion More significant effects of Buqi-Huoxue decoction for treating disease of CSA was achieved compared with the treatment of flunarizine and nimodipine.
