Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of three dimensional (3D) laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in the treatment of obesity combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinical data of 28 patients with obesity combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were admitted to the Qinghai Red Cross Hospital between January 2013 and April 2016 were collected.All the patients underwent 3D LSG.Observation indicators:(1) surgical and postoperative recovery situations;(2) follow-up and metabolic indexes changes.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect complications of patients after discharge and usages of antidiabetic drugs or insulin up to February 2017.Body mass,body mass index (BMI),hemoglobin (Hb),albumin (Alb),fasting serum C-peptide,fasting blood sugar,2-hours postprandial blood glucose (2HPBG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (GHb) were detected at month 1,3,6 and 12 postoperatively.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s.Repeated measurement data were analyzed by the repeated measures ANOVA.Count data were evaluated by the proportion.Results (1) Surgical and postoperative recovery situations:28 patients underwent successful 3D LSG,without conversion to open surgery.Operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,time of postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery and time of postoperative drainage tube removal were (133 ± 20) minutes,(45 ± 22) mL,(2.5 ± 1.2) days and (3.4 ± 0.9) days,respectively.There were no postoperative complications and perioperative death.Duration of hospital stay was (7.1 ± 1.5) days.(2) Follow-up and metabolic indexes changes:28 patients were followed up for 6-12 months,with a median time of 8 months.During the follow-up,there was no death or severe complications.Body mass,BMI,Hb,Alb,fasting serum C-peptide,fasting blood sugar,2HPBG and GHb from pre-operation to month 1,3,6 and 12 post-operatively were decreased from (113±26) kg to (78± 14) kg,from (44±6) kg/m2 to (35±5) kg/m2,from (157±19) g/L to (140±13) g/L,from (43±5)g/L to (40±4)g/L,from (2.50±0.37) μg/L to (1.20±0.33) μg/L,from (10.5±2.0)mmol/L to (5.6±0.5)mmol/L,from (16.3±3.1)mmol/L to (7.9±0.9) mmol/L,from 9.2％± 0.9％ to 6.8％ ±0.6％ with statistically significant differences between preoperative and postoperative indicators (F=396.47,328.20,111.10,21.28,161.06,127.80,243.40,234.64,P＜0.05),and showing a downward trend.Of 28 patients,25 had complete remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus at 12 months postoperatively and 3 had partial remission,with an effective rate of 100.0％ (28/28).The excess weight loss was 63％± 16％.Conclusion 3D LSG is safe and effective in the treatment of obesity combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus,with a good shortterm outcome.

ObjectiveTo investigate the long term effect of different antihypertensive agents on renal hemodynamics with ultrasound Doppler.Methods52 essential hypertensive patients were divided into three groups according to the antihypertensive agent they took: angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), calcium channel blocker (CCB) and β-adrenoceptor blocker (βB). The blood pressures of right upper arms were measured with mercury column blood pressure gauge using Korotkoff method. Renal hemodynamics were examined with ultrasound Doppler before and after treatment with agents. ResultsSystolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of all patients were decreased significantly. An significant correlation was found between the deceases of blood pressure and the betterment of renal homodynamic parameters in ACEI and CCB groups, but not in βB group. ConclusionTo a degree, the betterment of renal hemodynamics is correlation with the reduction of systemic blood pressure and mechanism of action of antihypertensive agents.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the therapeutic effect of Liujunzi decoction combined with Zuojin pills in treating the radioactive duodenitis and their mechanism, and compare with clinical routine acid suppressants combined with mucous membrane protective preparations to study the mechanism of their efficacy.

METHODAccording to the study of Williams J P and characteristics of duodenitis, and by reference to the radiation enteritis modeling standard, we took the lead in establishing the mouse radioactive duodenal injury model. The model mice were randomly divided into the control group (n = 26), traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group (n = 16) and the western medicine (oral administration with famotidine 0.5 mL + almagate suspension 0.3 mL per mouse, once a day) group (n = 16). After the standard administrating, such objective indexes as general condition, weight, changes in health score, pathology and expression of inflammatory factors were observed to evaluate the efficacy.

RESULTThe radioactive duodenitis model of mice was successfully established with 12 Gy. Mice in the control group suffered from weight loss, anorexia, low fluid intake, loose stools, and occasionally mucous bloody stool, poor spirit, dim fur, lack of exercise and arch back. Mice in drug intervention groups were generally better than those in the pure irradiation group. The IL-6, IL-1beta, TNF-alpha mRNA expressions in spleen and mesenteric lymph node tissues in TCM and western medicine groups showed a declining trend compared with the control group. Their concentrations in peripheral blood serum also slightly changed. The TCM group revealed notable advantage in reducing inflammatory factors. The microscopic observation showed that a better mucosa repair in intervention groups than the pure irradiation group. The improved Chiu's scoring method showed a statistical significance in the difference between TCM and western medicine groups (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONLiujunzi decoction combined with Zuojin pills could treat acute radiation enteritis, regulate organic immunity, and inhibit acute injury, promote local tissue repair, with the potential to resist such adverse effects as radiation intestinal fibrosis. The regulation of inflammatory factor release is one of efficacy generation mechanisms.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of combining auricular point sticking and a healthy diet to treat simple obesity in children aged 6-9 years old.Methods: A total of 190 eligible obese kids were divided into an observation group and a control group using the random number table method, with 95 cases in each group. The observation group was intervened by auricular point sticking plus guide on a healthy diet, while the control group was only provided with the guide on a healthy diet. The therapeutic efficacy was observed after intervention for three consecutive months, as well as the changes in body mass (BM), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), and subcutaneous fat thickness. Results: After the 3-month intervention, the total effective rate was 91.6％ in the observation group, versus 74.7％ in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.01); in both groups, the BM, BMI, WC, HC, and subcutaneous fat thickness all decreased significantly (P<0.05), and were lower in the observation group than in the control group, showing statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion: Auricular point sticking plus a healthy diet is safe and effective in treating simple obesity in children, producing more significant efficacy than healthy diet intervention alone.
