Objective To explore the clinical feature of glucose metabolism in patients with primary liver carcinoma (PLC). Methods Levels of blood glucose ,serum insulin and serum C peptide were estimated in fasting state and 0.5,1,2,3 h respectively after an oral ingestion of glucose with a dose of 75 g in 82 cases of PLC and other 35 controls. The insulin resistant index and β cell function index for each patient were recorded and calculated. Results There was no significant difference of serum levels of fasting glucose between test group and control group. The serum glucose level after glucose intaking and the serum levels of blood serum insulin and serum C peptide after glucose intaking were significantly higher more than that of control group (P<0.001). The insulin resistant index and β cell function index were both significantly higher than that in control group (P <0.05) while the INS index were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Insulin resistance, hyper-insulinemia in fasting state and dysfunction in early-stage insulin secretion exist in patients with PLC when their glucose level in normal at the fasting status. It is not only easy but also hidden to occur glucose metabolism abnormality. Thus the prevention of hepatogenous diabetes should start from the state of normal glucose regulation, especially the preservation of islet β cell function.

To investigate the effect of Yiqi Huoxue Capsule (YHC) in treating early ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction.Ninety cases of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were randomized to two groups: YHC group (A) and placebo group (B). Groups A and B were treated with YHC and placebo respectively on the basis of thrombolytic treatment and/or routine western treatment. Interventricular septum (IVS) thickness, left ventricular posterior wall (LVPW) thickness, left ventricular dimension in end-diastole (LVDd), scoring of local ventricular wall function and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were observed 1 and 8 weeks after treatment. Eight weeks after treatment, IVS thickness, LVPW thickness and LVDd were increased and scoring of local ventricular wall function was also increased in group B as compared with those one week after treatment;no obvious changes were found in group A and the difference was significant between the two groups (P

Objective To explore the relationship between pituitary tumor transforming gene(PTIG) and Ki67 expression and their significance in multiple adolescent breast fibroadenomas (fibroadenomatosis)and single persons(fibroadenomas) and their clinical value.Methods A total of 53 fibroadenomatosis and 160 fibroadenomas specimens in our hospital were collected.All the samples were fixed with 10％ formalin and then embedded with paraffin.The protein expression of PTTG and Ki67 was detected by immunohistochemical staining.The relation between expression of PTTG and Ki67 in fibroadenomatosis was analyzed.Results The positive rate of PTTG and Ki67 was higher in fibroadenomatosis than in fibroadenomas (P ＜ 0.005).Conclusions High expression of PTTG and Ki67 in fibroadenomatosis leads to the proliferation of tumor cell and upregulates tumor angiogenesis.High expression of PTTG and Ki67 may play important roles in tumorigenesis and pathological process of fibroadenomatosis.
