Objective To investigate the blood glucose changes in critically ill patients taken continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)before treatment and at different time points after treatment. Methods Sixtyseven critically ill patients were enrolled in the study,of whom 13 cases were treated conventionally and assigned as pre-treatment control group,while the other 54 cases undertook CRRT were assigned as CRRT group. The CRRT group were further sub-divided into four groups according to CRRT time((CRRT time ＜6 h group(n = 18),CRRT time of 6 - 12 h group(n = 18),CRRT time ＞ 12 h group(n = 18);or sub-divided into two groups according to circulating blood temperature(≤ 36. 5 ℃ group(n =27)and ＞ 36. 5 ℃ group(n =27));or sub-divided into two groups by sugar substitute fluid replacement solution as the formula group(the standard level of sugar content was 6. 9 mmol/L(n = 27)and sugar-free replacement fluid group(n = 27);or sub-divided into two groups according to the Glasgow Coma score(GCS)(GCS ≤ 8 points group(n = 24)and GCS ＞ 8 group(n = 30). Blood glucose level at different time points were measured. Results The longer CRRT cycle time,lower temperature,sugar substitute fluid replacement fluid worse GCS score corresponded to more dramatic blood glucose fluctuation at different time points in CRRT group,and it took longer time for them to recover to normal blood sugar level Conclusions During the CRRT process insulin secretion was suppressed and led to increase of blood sugar. In most cases the blood glucose returns to normal after CRRT treatment over time,but a small number of cases require clinical intervention.

Objective To investigate the relationship of TCM constitution and syndrome elements based on patients with hyperhomocysteinemia. Methods A survey was conducted among 1316 patients with diabetes, coronary disease, hypertension and cerebral infarction. Totally 326 patients with hyperhomocysteinemia were incorporated in diagnostic data and their constitutions were determined. At the same time, syndrome elements identification method for syndrome elements was applied for judgment, and consistency of the constitution and syndrome elements was analyzed. Results The survey showed that prevalence rate of population with hyperhomocysteinemia was 24.77%;there were 6 cases with mild nature, and 320 cases with biased constitution;phlegm dampness, blood stasis, qi deficiency of constitutions 110 cases, 73 cases and 59 cases, respectively;blood stasis, phlegm, qi deficiency, and dampness were the main syndrome elements of hyperhomocysteinemia, of 100 cases, 98 cases, 73 cases and 59 cases, respectively;the consistency of phlegm dampness constitution and syndromes of phlegm was the most obvious (Kappa=0.89, P<0.05). Conclusion Phlegm dampness, blood stasis, and qi deficiency were the most common constitutions of hyperhomocysteinemia;blood stasis, phlegm, qi deficiency and dampness were the main syndrome elements of hyperhomocysteinemia patients. The two results were consistent, and the consistency of phlegm syndrome and phlegm dampness constitution was the most obvious.

BACKGROUND: Research has showed that the abnormal expression of some proteins closely relates to the occurrence and development of cerebral glioma. However, the relationship between the abnormal expression of CyelinD1protein and the occurrence, development and prognosis of glioma is still uncertain which needs further study.OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of CyclinD1 protein in cerebral glioma and relationship between it and the impact of tumor DESIGN: Control study based on pathological specimens.SETTING: Neurosurgery department of a university hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 48 glioma specimens of different malignaut degree were collected from the patients who accepted surgery treatment in Neurosurgery Department of Second Hospital of Xi' an Jiaotong University during January 1990 and December 1995. Twelve normal cerebral specimens were from the non-tumor patients who were conducted intracranial pressure reducing in Neurosurgery Department of Second Hospital of Xi' an Jiaotong University during January 1990 and December 1995.METHODS: S-P immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the abnormal expression of Cyclin D1 protein. Simultaneously, the dyeing results and clinical characters of patients were associated in order to conduct comparison.RESULTS: The positive expression rate of CyclinD1 protein in human cerebral glioma was 54. 12% while in normal cerebral tissue it was about 8.33%. There was significant difference between them(x2 =8. 148 1,P = 0. 004 3 ) . And the positive expression rate in cerebral glioma of low malignancy was 37.04% while in specimens of high malignancy it was 76.19%, there was significant difference (x2 = 7. 294 0, P = 0. 006 9). The positive expression rate of CyclinD1 protein in specimens of patients with long survival period and short survival period after surgery was 70. 37% and 33.33% respectively with significant difference between them (x2 = 6. 5268,P =0.010 6).CONCLUSION: CyclinD1 is closely related to the occurrence and development of human cerebral glioma. It has provided experimental evidence for the prevention to the occurrence of glioma and the estimation of its prognosis by studying the abnormal proliferation of glioma cells targeted on CyclinD1.
