Objective To investigate the characteristic of psychological health status and blood glucose in elderly patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes for one year. Methods 48 patients in elderly with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes were followed up on their blood glucose level and psychological status for one year. Results At newly diagnosed phase, fasting plasma glucose, 2 h postprandial plasma glucose and HbA1C were (9.48?2.67) mmol/L, (13.49?4.79) mmol/L and (8.89 ?2.74)%, but after 3months, those descended to (7.35?2.47) mmol/L, (10.01?3.14) mmol/L and (6.75?2.14)%, respectively. Compared with newly diagnosed phase, psychological happiness and living satisfaction improved; while the negative emotion, including depression, loneliness, hypochondriasis and anxiety, decreased consistent with the drop of blood glucose level after 3 months. Following 6 and 12 months, blood glucose and psychological heath status were stabilized on the whole. Conclusion Psychological status deteriorated seriously at newly diagnosed phase than in 3, 6 and 12 months, when is important phase for psychological intervention. Moreover, optimal glycemic control can promote psychological heath.

Objective To study the elongation factor 1α(EF-1α) gene functions in prostate cancer cell line DU145 in the aspects of cell proliferation and clone formation by using the RNA interference technique. Methods DU145 cell lines were divided into control group, transfection control group transfected with scramble siRNA and experimental group transfected with EF-1α siRNA. After transfecting EF-1α siRNA into DU145 cell line, the down-regulation of EF-la expression in DU145 cell line was confirmed by Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. Then, the cell proliferation and clone formation assays were carried on in these 3 groups of DU145 cells. Results Compared with controls, the specific down-regulation of EF-1α expression was achieved in experimental group only. Compared with control group, after the down-regualtion of EF-1α in DU145 cell line, the cell proliferation rate decreased from day 4 to day 7 after transfection by 45. 9%, 53. 5% , 35. 3% and 38. 1% , respectively(P<0. 05). The clone formation number in experimental group decreased by 67.0% (P<0. 01). Conclusions The down-regulation of EF-1α has a negative impact on prostate cancer cell proliferation and clone formation. EF-1α might be an appropiate targeting gene in prostate cancer targeting therapy.

Objective To study the effect of down-rdgulation of EF-1 alpha gene in prostate cancer cell line DU-145 on cancer cell migration and invasion by using RNA interference technique. Methods The prostate cancer cell line DU-145 was divided into three groups: the control group (untransfected with siRNA), randomly control group (randomly transfected with siRNA) and experimental group (transfected with EF-1 alpha siRNA). Localization of EF-1 alpha and its relationship with F-actin in cytoplasm were analyzed by immunofluorescence technique. Cancer cell migration and invasion capability of DU145 cells were studied by transwell technique in these three groups. Results EF-1 alpha expression in DU145 cell line was down-regulated by using RNA interference technique. EF-1 alpha was localized in cytoplasm and co-located with F-actin. The down-regualtion of EF-1 alpha did not change the F-actin distribution in cytoplasm. The cell migration and invasion study showed that after seeding 20×104 DU145 cells into the upper chamber of transwall for 12 hours, the cells collected in the lower chambers were (10.6±1.0)×104 in control group, (11.2±0.8)×104 in randomly control group and (3.9±0.6)×104 in experimental group. Compared with controls, the cancer cell migration and invasion capability was significantly inhibited to only 37.1% (t= 13.9, P<0.05) after the specific down-regulation of EF-1 alpha expression in DU145 cells. Conclusions The down-regulation of EF-1 alpha expression has negative impacts on prostate cancer cell migration and invasion. EF-1 alpha plays important roles in prostate cancer local invasion.

Objective To compare the urodynamic parameters in female patients with incontinence with or without pelvic organ prolapse. Methods The urodynamic data from 140 patients diagnosed urinary incontinence and another 42 patients coexisted with pelvic organ prolapse were reviewed and analyzed. The urodynamics parameters were compared in perfusion, urination, bladder compliance, maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), detrusor muscle pressure of maximum urinary flow rate (Pdet,Qmax), minimum urinary flow rate(Pdet, Qmax), urethral resistance factor (RUA), obstruction of bladder index (OBI) and normalized detrusor contractility. The influence of pelvic organ prolapses with incontinence on bladder filling and voiding function was evaluated also.Results There were no significant differences between 140 patients of urinary incontinence and 42 patients coexisted with pelvic organ prolapse in perfusion (P=0.142), bladder compliance (P=0.273), Qmax(P=0.192),Pdet (P=-0. 629), Qmin (P=0.365) and normalized detrusor contractility (P=0.380). There were significant differences in age(P=2.2×10-5), urination(P=0.034), Pdet.Qmax(P=0.045), RUA(P=0.018), OBI (P=0.017). Conclusions There is not clinically significant change in urine storage function of bladder in patients with pelvic organ prolapse, but the parameters of voiding function of bladder may existe difference. The increased bladder outlet resistance and postvoid residual urine are noticed in patients with pelvic organ prolapse.
