Compared with proinflammatory processes in the development of type 2 diabetes,our knowledge on anti-inflammatory cytokines is rather limited.Anti-inflammatory cytokines such as adiponectin,interleukin 1 receptor antagonist(IL-1RA),transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1),growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15),omentin,and secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) are strongly associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes:Adiponectin and omentin levels decreased before type 2 diabetes,in contrast,concentrations of IL-1RA,TGF-β1,GDF-15 are increased.Change of SFRP5 levels in impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes remains controversial.This paper will summarize and recommend studies that investigated associations between circulating levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines and type 2 diabetes.

BACKGROUND:Osteofascial compartment syndrome is usual y due to application of external fixation for fracture treatment. Vaseline gauze is used to cover and compress the wound. Frequent dressing change induces infection and is harmful to wound drainage and tissue granulation, final y causing prolonged time of hospitalization and bad results. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy of Ilizarov external fixation combined with vacuum sealing drainage treatment for limb fractures with osteofascial compartment syndrome. ＜br> METHODS:A total of 32 patients with limb fractures with osteofascial compartment syndrome were randomly divided into two groups. Al patients adopted the same fasciotomy and drug treatment. In treatment group, the fracture was fixed with Ilizarov external fixation and the wound was covered with the vacuum sealing drainage dressing. In control group, the fractures were treated by unilateral external fixation and the wound was covered with the vaseline gauze. The fracture healing, clinical effects, hospitalization duration and costs between two groups were compared. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the treatment group, there were 10 cases of healing wel , 4 cases of muscle contracture and 2 cases of amputation. In the control group, there were 7 cases of healing wel , 6 cases of muscle contracture and 3 cases of amputation. No significant difference in clinical outcome measures was detected between the two groups. Fracture healing rate and costs were higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P＜0.05), but hospitalization duration, skin grafts and the incidence of infection were lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P＜0.05). Results suggested that on the basis of timely fasciotomy and decompression, Ilizarov external fixation combined with vacuum sealing drainage treatment for limb fractures with osteofascial compartment syndrome has a high limb salvage rate, which can effectively treat fractures, elevate the healing rate of fractures, reduce infection rate and skin grafting rate, shorten hospital stays. However, the hospitalization expense is higher.

Objective To investigate the effect of radiotherapy combined with interventional therapy on the changes of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with advanced cervical cancer.Methods 62 cases of cervical cancer collected in the first people’s hospital of jingzhou city during January 2009 to February 2014 were randomly divided into two groups.The patients in group A were treated with radiotherapy, and the patients in group B were treated with radiotherapy combined with interventional therapy.The level of vascular endothelial growth factor in two groups after treatment was measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay.Results The level of vascular endothelial growth factor of group A was ( 241.77 ±85.86 )μg/L, significantly higher than ( 124.66 ±65.86 )μg/L of group B.The level of vascular endothelial growth factor was related with cervical deterioration degree, tumor stage and lymph nodes metastasis (P<0.05),not with the patient’s age, and the size of the tumors.The level of vascular endothelial growth can reflect the clinical efficacy of patients after therapy (P<0.05).Conclusion Vascular endothelial growth factor level has a close relationship with the degree of deterioration of cervical cancer, tumor staging, lymph node metastasis and the curative effect after the interventional therapy.

Objeetlve To identify the nurses’knowledge and attitude about HIV/AIDS,and to provide evidence for implementing the related education and training.Methods The questionnaire survey was used to collect the data of knowledge and attitude about HIV/AIDS in Sichuan,Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces.A total of 463 numes participated the study.Results Except HIV/AIDS training.training for nurses and hospital with HIV/AIDS patients.the other personnal information of nurses had significant difierence among the numes in the three areas(P<0.05).The mean score of uuraes’knowledge about HIV/AIDS Was(12.95±2.35).There were no significant difiefence between the mean scores in the three areas(P<0.05).The score of nurses’HIV/AIDS attitude Was(3.38 4±0.30),with no statistical meaning in the three areas(P>0.05).In the aspects of 18 items of work-related attitude.4 items were approved by over 80%nurses.There were signicanfly different meanings in 6 itents among the 3 area nurses.Conciusions Nurses’knowledge level and uncertain attitude to HIV/AIDS could not met the need of higher AIDS epedimic in the 3 areas.especially in Sichuan.Delivering training course for nurses about HIV/AIDS in these areas is very urgent.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and curative effect of botulinum toxin type A(BTX-A)point injection under the guidance of type-B ultrasonic on upper limb spasticity after stroke.Methods 18 cases were divided into two groups:9 cases for treatment group were treated with point injection BTX-A in 5 points with the guidance of type-B ultrasonic diagnosis,other 9 cases for control were only injected experientially.They were evaluated with the modified Ashworth scale(MAS)and the time taking effect were recorded.Results Compared with the control,the scores of MAS in the treatment group improved,and they came into effect more quickly(P<0.05).Conclusion The point injection of BTX-A under the guidance of type-B ultrasonic was practicable for and effective on upper limb spasticity after stroke.

BACKGROUND: Thyroid cancer stem cells are essential to the recurrence and metastasis of thyroid carcinoma. Leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) shows a downward trend in a variety of malignant tumors, and its overexpression can inhibit the recurrence and metastasis of malignant tumors. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of LIFR on the stemness maintenance and lung metastasis of thyroid cancer stem cells in vivo. METHODS: Primary thyroid cancer cells TCLM were isolated from the lung metastases of a metastatic thyroid cancer patient. Serum-free suspension culture was used to form tumor cell balls. Flow cytometry was used to screen CD133+phenotype of metastatic thyroid cancer stem cell subpopulation TCLM-S. The overexpressed recombinant lentiviral plasmid containing LIFR and its negative control containing the empty plasmid were infected into thyroid cancer stem cells TCLM-S at the ratio of virus/cell number=20, and screened with 2.0 mg/L puromycin to construct TCLM-SLIFRand TCLM-Scontrolstem cells which stably expressed LIFR and its control. Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of LIFR in TCLM-SLIFRand TCLM-Scontrolstem cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect the percentage of CD133+phenotype cell subsets, western blot assay was used to detect the expression of tumor stemness related factors SOX2, Oct4, Nanog and tumor invasion and metastasis related proteins E-cadherin, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-7 in TCLM-SLIFRand TCLM-Scontrol stem cells. TCLM-SLIFRand TCLM-Scontrolstem cells were respectively injected into BALB/c nude mice by tail vein, and the lung metastasis model of thyroid cancer stem cells was constructed. The effect of LIFR overexpression on lung metastasis was observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with TCLM-Scontrolcells, the expression of LIFR in TCLM-SLIFRcells was significantly increased, the proportion of CD133+phenotype stem cell subsets was significantly decreased, the expression of SOX2, Oct4 and Nanog were significantly decreased, the expression of E-cadherin was significantly increased, and the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-7 was significantly decreased. Moreover, the number of lung metastasis in nude mice given TCLM-SLIFRcells was significantly decreased as compared with those given TCLM-Scontrol cells.To conclude,LIFR overexpression can decrease the stemness and ability of lung metastasis in vivo.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of family stressors, family strains, general family values, family values for hospitalized children and family hardiness on family adaptation based upon McCubbin's family resilience model for families of hospitalized children in China. METHODS: A survey using a self-report questionnaire was conducted with 330 hospitalized children's parents. Six instruments were used in this model. The data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 19.0 and AMOS 19.0 program. RESULTS: Family strain had a significant negative direct effect, general family values and family hardiness had a significant positive direct effect, and family values for hospitalized children had a significant positive direct effect and indirect effect on family adaptation of hospitalized children. CONCLUSION: In this study McCubbin's resilience model and resiliency factors were identified. According to the finding of this study nursing interventions to reduce family stress, enhance family hardiness and consolidate general family values and family values for hospitalized children can help to increase family adaptation in families of hospitalized children.
