1.THE CHANGES OF CALCIUM METABOLISM IN DIABETES MELLITUS AND ITS CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 1986;0(04):-
Six parameters of calcium metabolism - ICa, TCa, ICa / TCa, AKP, IntraCa (intracellular calcium), and UCa (urinary calcium) in 91 cases with diabetes mellitus (DM) were measured and compared with those in normal subjects. It could be seen that significant differences existed between the two groups in AKP, IntraCa and UCa (P

Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 1986;0(03):-
Both ?-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes, and ?-cell function, especially early insulin secretion, is important in maintaining normal glucose tolerance. This review focuses on the ciritical role of ?-cell dysfunction in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes.

Objective To evaluate the biomechanism of three kinds of internal fixations in treatment of complex tibial plateau fractures. Methods Eighteen human antiseptic cadaver tibial plateau specimens were used to make models of complex tibial plateau fracture (type Ⅵ fractures of Schatzker classification). The models were fixated with a lateral Golf-buttress plate (GP), modified dual plate (a lateral Golf-buttress plate plus a medial five-hole one-third tubular antiglide plate) (DP) or a lateral locking compression plate (LCP) respectively to compare strength, rigidity and stability of different fixation methods. Results The biomechanical strength, rigidity and stability in DP group and LCP group were better than those in GP group (P<0.05), while there was no statistical difference between LCP group and DP group (P>0.05). Conclusions Locking compression plate and modified dual plate are fairly ideal internal fixators for treatment of complex tibial plateau fractures. In the meantime, locking compression plate emphasizes conservation of soft tissues and blood supply, can better meet the requirement of the biological fixation of fracture and is the most ideal internal fixator at present.

BACKGROUND:Percutaneous vertebraplasty is a new means for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures and bone metastases. The multiplaner reconstruction with digital substraction angiography (DSA)-Innova 3D plays an important role in guiding the percutaneous vertebraplasty puncture, which can effectively prevent the leakage of bone cement. OBJECTIVE:To explore the value of DSA-Innova 3D in the guidance of puncture of percutaneous vertebroplasty. METHODS:From March 2014 to September 2014, a total of 72 patients with 94 vertebras were selected for percutaneous vertebraplasty, of whom 36 (48 vertebras) with Innova 3D (experimentalgroup) and 36 (46 vertebras) without Innova 3D (control group). Spiral CT scan was performed in al patients to assess the distribution of bone cement. The imaging quality in the two groups was compared by Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:CT showed bone cement leakage occurred in 7 of the 36 patients in the control group. Leakages were into the lumber disc in two cases, paravertebral space in two cases, vertebral pedicle in onecase or veins in two cases. However, only one case of bone cement leakage was observed in the experimental group. With the guidance of DSA-Innova 3D, the experimental group had signficantly lower leakage and fluoroscopic time than the control group (P < 0.05). The multiplaner reconstruction with DSA-Innova 3D plays an important role in guiding the percutaneous vertebraplasty puncture, thereby effectively reducing the leakage of bone cement.

ObjeclJve To definine the corresponding value to glycated albumin(GA)for a specific target of HbAlc,and to elvaluate the relationship between GA and HbA1c.Methods From Oct.2006 TO Apr.2009, 2 532 subjects were enrolled who accepted oral glucose tolerance test(OGtt)in out-patient department,including 898 with normal glucose regulation,695 with impaired glucose regulation,and 939 with newly-diagnosed diabetes.GA was measured with liquid enzymatic method.HbA1c was measured with high performance liquid chromatography method.The plasma glucose was measured at fasting,0.5 h,1 h,2 h,and 3h after glucose load.The correlation among GA,HbA1c and the other parameters monitored was analyzed.Results (1)The levels of HbA1c and GA in 2 532 subjects were(6.3±1.1)% and(17.9±4.5)%.The ratio of GA/HbA1c was 2.85±0.51.(2)HbAlc and GA were positively correlated with fasting,0.5 h,1 h,2 h and 3 h plasma glucose(r was in 0.567-0.776,atl P<0.01).(3)GA was significantly correlated with HbA1c(r=0.701,P<0.01).Linear regression analysis,using GA and HbA1c summarized by patient(n=2 532),produced a relationship of GA=2.871×HbA1c-0.112.The change in GA per increase of 1% HbA1c was 2.87%.When HbA1c level was 6.5%,the expected value of GA was 18.5%.The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,and accuracy with GA≤18.5% to predict HbA1c≤6.5% were 82.32%,72.49%,86.48%.65.73%,and 79.19%,respectively.When HbA1c level was 7.0%,the expected value of GA was 20.O%.When HbA1c level was 7.5%.the expected value of GA was 21.4%.Conclusions We initially establish the corresponding value to GA for a specific target of HbA1c and provide the basis for clinical application.

Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of hospital-acquired infection. Because the bacteria are very easy to become resistant to antibiotics, vaccination is a main method against S. aureus infection. Clumping factor B (ClfB) is an adhesion molecule essential for S. aureus to colonize in the host mucosa and is regarded as an important target antigen. In this study, we successfully used Escherichia coli to express a segment encoding the N1-N3 regions of ClfB protein (Truncated-ClfB) cloned from S. aureus. The protein was purified by affinity and ion exchange chromatographies and gel filtration. Rabbits were immunized three times with purified Truncated-ClfB. After that, blood was collected to prepare serum which were then used for measurement of antibody level. Phagocytosis of S. aureus opsonized by the serum was determined by a flow cytometry. Results show that the serum IgG titer reached 1:640 000. Phagocytosed S. aureus by polymorphonuclear leukocytes were significantly more when the bacteria were opsonized by the serum from Truncated-ClfB immunized rabbits than those from no immunized group (P < 0.01). Therefore, the results indicated that Truncated-ClfB could be a promising vaccine candidate against S. aureus infection.

Clinical characteristics were analyzed retrospectively in a patient with empty sella and adrenal adenoma with regard to the elaborated diagnosis and treatment.Although empty sella syndrome alone was common,clinical combination with adrenal adenoma was rarely reported.It was difficult to diagnose due to complex symptoms and hormone levels.This case could help increase awareness of the disease and accumulate the experience in diagnosis and treatment.
