Objective To investigate the effects of Xiaoke Wan on serum adiponectin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes metlitus. Methods A total of 60 2TDM patients with deficiency of both qi and yin syndrome were recruited into a control group and a treatment group randomly, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with Xiaoke Wan, and the control group was treated with glibenclamide. After 32 weeks, the changes of FPG, 2hPG, HbAIc, FINS, C-P, APN, HBCI,IRI and improvement of symptoms were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with glibenclamide, Xiaoke Wan can significantly improve the patients' symptoms, reduce the level of IRI (t=-1.590, P=-0.036), and increase serum APN (t=1.918, P=0.002). Conclusion Xiaoke Wan can significantly improve symptoms, reduce fasting blood glucose and 2 hour postprandial blood glucose, recover the secretion of adipouectin, decrease insulin resistance in 2TDM patients with deficiency of both qi and yin.

Alternating hemiplegia of childhood(AHC) is a hereditary disease characterized by hemiplegia spells,abnormal eye movements,dystonia and cognitive impairment.There are three phases of the disease.Each phase has its unique clinical symptoms:phase 1-abnormal eye movements and dystonia;phase 2-hemiplegia spells; phase 3-permanent cognitive impairment.The severity of cognitive impairment depends on the time of onset of hemiplegia spells:the earlier the onset is,the worse outcome will be.No effective treatment has been established.Thetreatments currently include:avoiding predisposing factors and taking drugs such as flunarizine to prevent hemiplegia attacks,in the inter-ictal stage;and sedation during hemiplegia attacks.According to the latest research,AHC is caused by the de novo mutation of gene ATP1A3.

?AlM:To evaluate the effect and safety of 1. 8mm coaxial microincision phacoemulsification - trabeculetomy with ultra-thin intraocular lens ( lOL ) implants for treating glaucoma complicated with cataract, and to compare with the traditional 3. 0mm small phacoemulsification-trabeculetomy with foldable lOL implantion.
?METHODS: ln this prospective study, 36 patients ( 36 eyes) with glaucoma and cataract in lnner Mongolia Autonomous Regian People’s Hospital were collected and randomly divided into 2 groups. For the small incision group: 18 cases ( 18 eyes ) underwent 3. 0mm coaxial incision phacoemulsification-trabeculetomy with foldable lOL implantion; ln th microincision group: 18 cases ( 18 eyes ) underwent 1. 8mm microincision phacoemulsification-trabeculetomy with ultra-thin lOL implantion. The two groups were recorded for 1wk, 1 and 3mo of visual acuity, corneal endothelial cell density, surgically induced astigmatism, intraocular pressure ( lOP ) , filtering bleb and complications. Pearson’s Chi-square test ande t-test were used to determine differences between the two groups.
?RESULTS:At 1wk postoperatively, visual acuity in the microincision group was better than that of small incision group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0. 05). At 1 and 3mo, the difference in corrected visual acuity between the 2 groups had no significant difference (P>0. 05). At 1wk, 1 and 3mo, there was a significant different between the 2 groups in surgically induced astigmetism (P<0. 05). At 1wk postoperatively, there was a significant difference in corneal endothelial cells density between 2 groups (P<0. 05). But there were no significant difference at 1 and 3mo ( P > 0. 05 ). lOP reduced after surgy ( microincision group: 15. 26 ±3. 12mmHg, small incision group: 14. 57±2. 86mmHg), there was no significant difference between the 2 groups (P>0.05). There was no significant different between the 2 groups in blebs (P>0. 05). Neither iris injury, posterior capsule rupture nor anterior chamber bleeding complications was found in any groups.
?CONCLUSlON: TBy compared with traditional 3. 0mm coaxial small incision phacoemulsification -trabeculectomy with foldable lOL implantion, 1. 8mm microincision phacoemulsification-trabeculectomy withe ultra- thin lOL implantion can effectively reduce the astigmatism operation. This operation is safe, effective, convenient surgy for treating cataract and glaucoma.

The pancreatic islet cell and testicular sertoli cells of rat were alone-and co-microencapsulated and cultured for 11 days, then insulin concentration of culture fluid was detected.The results showed that islet function in co-microencapsulated group was better than that in co-culture of microencapsulated islet and microencapsulated testicular sertoli cells and also better than that single microencapsulated islet group (P<0.05).

Objective To evaluatethefunctions of an emergency pediatric observation unit(OU).Method The OU located in the Second Affdiated Hospital ＆Yuying Children'Hospital of Wenzhou Medical CoHege.a pediatric tertiary care teaching hospital.The records of all patients admitted to OU and the discharge diagnoses of all patients ofinpatient unit(IU)from January to December 2006 were retrospectively analyzed.[)d(Is ratios(OR) witll 95%C1 was used to show the advantages ofOU in SOme pedian4c diSOrders.Results There were45 beds in the OU,and 348 beds in tlle IU.111e number ofthe patients in OU per year WaS 42.5%compared to IU f5471 Vs.12 881).The average number of patients in OU per bed in one year WaS 122.which was 3 times as much as the average number of patients in IU admission per bed(122 vs.37).Totally 3879(70.9%)patients in OU were discharged and 1592(29.1%)were transferred.For the olmervation patie.ts,the IIIeaIl age Was 7 years old.with 65.6%under or equal to 2 years old.The 111ean le,ch of stay(IDS)in OU was95.7 hours.Respiratory disorders(2204/5471,40.3%)and gastrointestinal problems(960/5471,17.5%)were the most common disease in OU.Of the total admission(IU and ou),diagnoses with high OU utilization were croup(73/75,97.3%),poiflonin(277/,97.2%),flsthma(128/133,96.2%),fleiZl.1lwith high fever(274/365,75.1%),enteritis/dehydration(618/726,85.1%),seizure with 110 fever(274/365,75.1%)and acute respiratory infection(486/624.77.9%).The likelihood of an OU admifor these illness vells IU addlission(adjusted for subsequent need for IU admission)was poisonings OR 43.21(26.1,71.6),P<0.001;croup 15.7(8.3,29.7),P<0.001:asthma 0R 10.5(7.0,15.8),P<0.001;seizure with high fever OR 8.5(6.5,11.1),P<0.001;seizure with no fever2.6(2.2,3.1),P<0.001;acute respiratory infection 0R 1.0(0.9,1.1),P=O.591;enteritis/dehydration 1.0(0.9 1.1),P=0.919.Conclusions The emergency OU,characterized by large ac.commodation,fast circulation and high utilization rate of bed,plays an important role in observation,treatment and hospital admission of children,esoeeially infants and young children for common pediatric diseases.The emergency observation unit is also an alternative disposition for certain pediatric diseases.The extending construefion of OU in a childrenS hospital with big population of out-/in-patients is an effective way to the hospital resources.

Objective To explore the correlation of adipnectin with T2DM and its macrovascular complications. Methods The levels of serum adiponectin, plasma glucose, serum lipids, and fasting insulin were measured in normal subjects, type 2 diabetic patients and type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications. Results (1) The serum adiponectin level was significantly lower in type 2 diabetic patients than in normal subjects, and was the lowest in type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications. (2) Serum adiponetin level was negatively correlated with BMI,HOMA-IR, HbA_1c,TG and fasting insulin level. Conclusions The results suggest that lower serum adiponectin level may be related to macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients.

Objective To evaluate the role of an emergency observation unit(OU) in pediatric care.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the medical service of the OU for 12 months.Results During 12 months,5?471 children were admitted to the OU,which was 0.78% of all visits to the outpatient department(OD) and emergency department(ED).Of OU patients,70.9% children were discharged home and 34.6% children were discharged under 48 hours.Of OU patients,65.6% children were under 2 years old.Median length of stay was 95.7 hours.The average admission rate was 15 children per day.The patient volume per month of OU was in positive relation with the visits volume per month of OD and ED (r=0.835,P=0.001).The commonest causes for children admitted to the observation unit were pneumonia(22.2%),enteritis(13.3%) and acute upper airway infection(11.4%).Conclusion The emergency pediatric OU should be set to assess and treat young children with a variety of conditions.It is effective in relieving the problems of limited inpatient hospital bed spaces and high-volume patient visits,and helpful for limiting inappropriate hospitalization.

Objective To understand the serum adiponectin levels in normal subjects and type 2 diabetes patients with macrovascular complications, to investigate the correlation between adipnectin and macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes patients. Methods One hundred and two normal subjects, 116 type 2 diabetes patients and 123 type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications were recruited in the current study. The serum adiponectin levels among three groups were compared, and the factors affecting the serum adiponectin were investigated. Results ①The serum adiponectin level was significantly lower in type 2 diabetic patients (8. 62 ± 2. 97) mg/L than that in normal subjects (10. 03 ± 4.41) mg/L, and was the lowest in type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications(6. 17 ± 2. 55) mg/L(P < 0.05). ②Serum adiponetin level was negatively correlated with BMI,WHR,HOMA-IR,fasting insulin level, HbAlC and TG(r = -0.492, -0. 581, -0. 813, -0. 754, -0.619, -0.387, P<0.05). ③In a general multivariate regression, HOMA-IR fasting insulin and HbAlc.were negatively correlated with serum adipnectin level (r = - 0. 828, - 0. 769, - 0. 631, P < 0. 01). Conclusions The serum adiponectin level in type 2 diabetic patients is significantly decreased and even more in type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications. These results suggest that lower serum adiponectin level is related to macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients and maybe plays an important role in atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetic patients.
