Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and multiple subcutaneous insulin injection (MSII) in elderly patients with severe type 2 diabetes.Methods Thirty-seven elderly patients with severe type 2 diabetes in the hospital intensive care unit (ICU) were divided into observation group (19 cases) and control group (18 cases) by random number table method.The observation group was treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin recombinant human insulin lispro injection,and control group was treated with recombinant human insulin lispro injection before meals and at bedtime routine insulin glargine subcutaneous injection.Two groups of patients and their families were given diabetes education.Changes in blood glucose,insulin dosage,blood glucose control standard time,rate of hypoglycemia and hospitalization time between 2 groups before and after treatment were compared.Results After treatment,fasting blood glucose in observation group was (7.2 ± 1.2) mmol/L,2 hour postprandial blood glucose was (9.4 ± 1.2) mmol/L,bedtime blood glucose was (9.4 ± 1.3) mmol/L; which in control group was (8.5 ± 3.0),(10.0 ± 2.4),(10.2 ± 2.4)mmol/L respectively.Fasting blood glucose,2 hour postprandial blood glucose and bedtime blood glucose significantly decreased after treatment in two groups,but there was significant difference between 2 groups (P ＜ 0.05).Blood glucose control standard time in observation group was (5.4 ± 2.5) d,insulin dosage was (43 ± 9) U/d,in control group was (12.8 ± 3.8) d,(55 ± 10) U/d respectively,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Observation group had no hypoglycemia.Conclusion CSII for elderly patients with severe type 2 diabetes has better curative effect and security than MSII,and is more conducive to the control of blood glucose and the improvement of the condition.

Total body fat of 12 male adults were measured by ordinary and modified water displacement method repeatedly. The mean value was 9.37 kg calculated by ordinary method.It was significantly lower than that of 10.07 kg calculated by modified method (p

Objective To eukaryotically exp ress B7.1 extracellular domian and investigate its biological activities. Methods Recombinant expression vector pDisplay/B7.1(V+C) wa s transfected into Hela cells by electroporation method. The expression of B7.1( V+C) was identified by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, respectiv ely. In vitro T lymphocyte activation activity was detected by 3H-TdR incoporation method and the aroused cytotoxicity after mixed culture of pDispla y/B7.1(V+C) transfected Hela cell-T cell was observed by MTT method. R esults B7.1(V+C) was expressed successfully on the surface of Hela c ells. The expressed B7.1(V+C) was able to activate T lymphocytes in the pres ence of anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody. Cytotoxicity could be observed when pDisp lay/B7.1(V+C) transfected Hela cells were mixed and co-cultured with T lymphocy tes. Conclusion Eukaryotically expressed B7.1(V+C) main tains its T lymphocyte costimulatory activity, and B7.1(V+C) can be adopted to construct bifunctional molecules for tumor immunotherapy.

Objective To develop a diagnostic test based on indirect immunofluorescence assay(IFA) to detect special antibodies in the serum of SARS patients, thus to provide a reference material for confirmation of the clinical diagnosis of SARS. Methods SARS coronavirus GZ01 and BJ01 strains isolated in our laboratory were used to infect Vero E6 cells. When CPE reached 25%, cells were trypsinized and transferred to 10 well slides in a quantity of 40?l with a cell density of 2?10 7 /ml. After 4 hour incubation at 37℃,the slides were fixed with acetone, and IFA was used to detect antibodies in serum samples, which were obtained from 154 SARS patients and 14 non SARS patients with respiratory disease, as well as 100 healthy volunteers. Results IFA method for detecting antibodies of SARS coronavirus was developed. Sera from one hundred and forty two out of 154 clinically diagnosed patients were IFA positive, with a positive rate of 92 3%. Sera from 14 non SARS patients with respiratory disease and 100 healthy persons were all IFA negative. Conclusion The IFA method we developed was sensitive and specific in detecting SARS antibodies in serum, and was a reliable test for laboratory diagnosis of SARS coronavirus.

AIM: To conclude the characteristics of flash visual evoke potentials (FVEP), and pattern visual evoke potentials (PVEP) of the healthy school-age children.And to compare the two methods, in order to find the association of them, and to find the impact of sex, age, and the other biological variables.METHODS: A total of 101 healthy children were recruited (age from 5 to 14.4y, mean 8.27y).Each of them was underwent FVEP and PVEP examinations.Then the results were statistically analyzed by SPSS 13.0.RESULTS: The curves of PVEP are simple and stable, while FVEP waveforms are variable.The latency of P100 of females is shorter than males.However there was no significant difference for FVEP in sex control.To compare the parameters between the two hemispheres, the amplitude of P100 of left eyes were higher than the right side.FVEP showed no difference in the two hemispheres either.There was no significant difference for age-dependent decreased in neither PVEP nor FVEP.And in a regression analysis of the FVEP and PVEP, we could not find the inner connection of the two methods.CONCLUSION: Based on our research, there were no significant differences in age level or sex control in the period of school-age children.And there is no inner connection of the two methods.The differences between the PVEP and FVEP results might be due to the origin of these two responses.And these two stimuli should be used in a complementary manner not as alternative examinations.

Objective: To study the significance of DNA content in oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).Methods: DNA content and cell cycle of the cells in 18 cases of oral SCC were analized by image cytometry (ICM). Results: The DNA index (DI) and proliferation index (PI) were remarkably heigher in SCC than in normal epithelium ( P
