Fifty cases with chronic rheumatic valvular disease were examined with two dimensional echocardiography to evaluate the valvular pathology preoperatively. The echocardiographic findings were correlated and compared with the operative findings.It was found that 89% of the thickening pattern cases and 75% of the funnel-shaped cases showed thickening of the leaf-lets- All the 28 membranous cases showed diastolic doming and restricted tip motion of the anterior leaflet in different degrees. In the 4 funnel-shaped cases, 3 showed restricted tip and body motion of the leaflets and the 4th case showed stiffness of the leaflet base. 63% of the mitral regurgitation cases were confirmed at operation.It is concluded that preoperative evaluation of the valvular pathology with two dimensional echocardiography is helpful in selection of suitable operative candidates.

Forty-eight cases of atrial septum secundum defect were repaired and followed up with M-mode echocardiography postoperatively for three months to three yaers respectively.All the cases showed a significant reduction of the inner diameter of the right ventricle after operation,and in 23% of the cases, the inner diameter even returned to the normal range. In 92% of the acses, the intervetricular septal paradoxical motion resumed the normal pattern. In most cases, the inner diameter of the left ventricle increased markedly.In 11 cases with repeated follow-up studies, it was found that three months after operation, the interventricular septal paradoxical motion became normal in 7 cases and the motion flattened in three cases. In 18 cases with a 3-year follow-up history, it was found that the recovery of the heart condition showed no relation to the age of the patient. This is likely to suggest that the age factor exerts no influence on the postoperative recovery of the cases having the atrial septal defect repaired.

Objective To investigate the effects of gastric bypass on glycometabolism and improvement of islet β cell function and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods Eight patients with type 2 diabetes combined with gastric carcinoma who treated with gastric bypass were studied prospectively. Fasting and postprandial plasma glucose levels, fasting and postprandial insulin C-peptide levels, and body mass index (BMI) were measured right before the surgery and at intervals of 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months after the surgery. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were measured before and 3 months after the surgery. The outcome of the diabetes after 3 months of the surgery was also monitored. Results Fasting and postprandial plasma glucose levels decreased (P < 0.05) and fasting and postprandial insulin C-peptide levels increased (P < 0.05) after the surgery. HbA1c levels also decreased (P < 0.05) after 3 months of the surgery. There was no significant change of BMI at all intervals after the surgery(P> 0.05). All of the 8 patients reached the total effective standard and 6 patients reached the clinical remission standard after 3 months of the surgery. Conclusions It suggests that gastric bypass can significantly lower plasma glucose levels in type 2 diabetes, which does not depend on the loss of weight. The control of plasma glucose by gastric bypass may be due to the improvement of islet β cell function and increasing secretion of endogenous insulin.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the role of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) signaling pathway in the skin lesions and wound healing in diabetic rats.
METHODSThirty-six SD rats were divided into diabetic wound group (D) and non-diabetic wound group (N) according to the random number table, with 18 rats in each group. 10 g/L streptozocin (60 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected in rats in group D, while the rats in group N were given same quantity of sodium citrate buffer. Two weeks after successful reproduction of diabetic model of rats in group D, two full-thickness skin of an area of 2 cm × 2 cm was resected on both sides of back of rats in the two groups. Wounds of three rats of each group were photographed and examined on post injury day (PID) 1, 3, 7, 10, 14, and 21, and the wound healing rates were calculated. The non-injured skin and wound tissue (central part) on back of three rats of the rest 15 rats in the two groups were harvested on PID 3, 7, 10, 14, and 21, respectively. Morphology of the non-injured skin tissue was observed with HE staining, and the thickness of full-thickness skin and epidermis were measured. The mRNA expression levels of ILK, protein kinase B (Akt), and glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) in non-injured skin tissue were determined with real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR. The protein expression levels of ILK, Akt, phosphorylated Akt, GSK-3β, and phosphorylated GSK-3β in non-injured skin tissue, and ILK, phosphorylated Akt in wound tissue were assessed with Western blotting. Data were processed with two independent-sample t test, one-way analysis of variance, SNK test and analysis of variance of factorial design.
RESULTS(1) After injury, the wound scabs of rats in group N were dry, and red granulation tissue with no excretion were seen when the scabs fell off, and the wound healed fast. After injury, excretion under the wound scabs of rats in group D was seen, and the scabs easily fell off with exposure of pink granulation tissue with much excretion, and the wounds healed slowly. Except for PID 3, the wound healing rate of rats in group D was significantly lower than that in group N on other PIDs (with t values from 3.858 to 13.738, P<0.05 or P<0.01). (2) On PID 3, the hair follicles and blood vessels in the non-injured skin tissue of rats in group N were rich, and the epidermis was composed of stratified cells in form of basal cells and keratinocyte, and the hair follicles and blood vessels in the non-injured skin tissue of rats in group D were scarce, and the epidermis was nearly composed of one-layer of cells. The thickness of full-thickness skin and epidermis of non-injured skin tissue of rats in group N was similar from PID 3 to 21, and the thickness of full-thickness skin and epidermis of non-injured skin tissue of rats in group D on PID 3 was respectively (1 074 ± 66) and (15.1 ± 3.8) μm, and they gradually thinned out to (785 ± 122) and (9.7 ± 2.1) μm on PID 21, respectively. The thickness of full-thickness skin and epidermis of non-injured skin tissue of rats in group N were significantly thicker than those in group D on each PID (with t values from 4.620 to 23.549, P values below 0.001). (3) From PID 3 to 21, the mRNA expression levels of ILK and Akt in non-injured skin tissue of rats in group D were significantly lower than those in group N (with t values respectively 4.779 and 3.440, P values below 0.05), the mRNA expression levels of GSK-3β in non-injured skin tissue of rats were similar in two groups (t=0.363, P>0.05). (4) From PID 3 to 21, the protein expression levels of ILK, Akt and phosphorylated Akt in non-injured skin tissue of rats in group D were significantly lower than those in group N (with t values from 2.630 to 6.209, P<0.05 or P<0.01); the protein expression levels of GSK-3β in non-injured skin tissue of rats in two groups were similar (t=0.652, P>0.05); the protein expression level of phosphorylated GSK-3β in non-injured skin tissue of rats in group D was significantly higher than that in group N (t=4.131, P<0.001). The protein expression levels of ILK in wound tissue of rats in two groups were similar on each PID (with t values from 0.381 to 2.440, P values above 0.05). Except for PID 3, the protein expression levels of phosphorylated Akt in wound tissue of rats in group N were significantly higher than that in group D on other PIDs (with t values from 4.091 to 20.555, P<0.05 or P<0.01). From PID 3 to 21, the protein expression levels of ILK in wound tissue and non-injured skin tissue of rats in group N were similar (F=2.522, P>0.05), and the protein expression level of phosphorylated Akt in wound tissue was significantly higher than that in non-injured skin tissue (F=117.329, P<0.001); the protein expression levels of ILK in wound tissue and non-injured skin tissue of rats in group D were similar (F=1.337, P>0.05), and the protein expression level of phosphorylated Akt in wound tissue was significantly higher than that in non-injured skin tissue (F=184.120, P<0.001).
CONCLUSIONSThe skin lesion of diabetic rats may be related to the declined expression levels of ILK, Akt and phosphorylated Akt in the ILK signaling pathway. The refractory healing of wound in diabetic rats may be related to the declined expression level of phosphorylated Akt.

Previous studies have demonstrated that integrin-linked kinases (ILKs) are abundantly expressed in extracellular matrix (ECM) riche dermis, hair follicles, and basal cells of epidermis. ILKs are not only essential for the maintenance of skin structure, but also play important roles in wound healing. ILKs can promote the formation of granulation tissue by stimulating the proliferation of fibroblasts and secretion of ECM, accelerate wound contraction by inducing the differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, and boost reepithelization by promoting proliferation, migration, and differentiation of keratinocytes and follicle epidermal stem cells.
