Objective To investigate the prevalence of impaired glucose-insulin metabolism in obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS); to examine the relation between severity of OSAHS and impaired glucose metabolism; and to evaluate the effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on impaired glucose metabolism.Methods A total of 214 patients who were free of diabetes at baseline underwent both nocturnal polysomnography (PSG),and 2-h oral glucose-tolerance test,insulin and hemoglobin Alc test.CPAP treatment for glucose-insulin metabolism ( + ) was given to OSAHS group after informed consent had been obtained.Results Eighty-eight patients and 17 patients with impaired glucoseinsulin metabolism were found in OSAHS group and the control group respectively.Impaired glucose-insulin metabolism was present in 54.3% of OSAHS group and 32.7% of control group.Logistic regression analysis showed a significant positive correlation with OSAHS ( AHI ≥ 10 times/h ) and impaired glucose-insulin metabolism in all patients (OR = 2.440,95% CI 1.201-4.958 ).Plasma glucose level changes had no significant differences between before and after CPAP treatment (P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionOSAHS is associated with a high frequency of impaired glucose metabolism.The relationship between OSAHS and impaired glucose metabolism is independent of obesity.Longest apnea time (LAT) and AHI are important contributors to impaired glucose metabolism in OSAHS patients.Short-term CPAP therapy has no significant improvement on glucose metabolism in patients with OSAHS.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) assisted intraocular lens suspension surgery with one loop suturing for residual lens capsule aphakia.Methods Fifty aphakia patients (50 eyes) with residual lens capsular equal or greater than 180 degrees were chosen.The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups and underwent intraocular lens suspension surgery with one loop suturing:Trial group (25 cases,25 eyes) selected suture site according to the preoperative UBM results,and control group (25 cases,25 eyes) selected the suture site according to the clinical experience.The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA),astigmatism at preoperative and postoperative 1 week,1 month and 3 months were observed,the eccentric and tilt value of the lens were calculated by UBM measurement at 3 month after operation,and the postoperative complications of the two groups were observed.Results UCVA at each time point after operation were higher than that before operation,and gradually increased with time.There was no significant difference between the two groups at 1 week before and after the operation of UCVA (P ＞ 0.05).At 1 month and 3 months after operation,UCVA in trial group were significantly higher than those of control group (all P ＜ 0.05).The astigmatism value at 1 week after operation in two groups was higher than that before operation and gradually decreased with time.The astigmatism value in trial group at 1 month and 3 months after operation had no significant difference with that of preoperative (P ＞ 0.05),while the astigmatism value in control group increased (all P ＜ 0.05).The astigmatism values had no significant difference between the two groups before and 1 week after operation (all P ＞0.05),which were significantly lower in trial group at 1 month and 3 months after operation (all P ＜ 0.05).Three months after surgery,the proportion of lens accurately implanted in the ciliary sulcus was significantly higher than control group (P ＜ 0.01),the eccentric and tilt values of the lens in trial group were significantly less than control group (P ＜ 0.01).No serious complication was observed in all patients.Conclusion UBM assisted intraocular lens suspension surgery with one loop suturing can significantly improve the postoperative visual quality,safety and lens stability,which can be used as a routine preoperative examination of intraocular lens suspension surgery.In addition,UBM provides an alternative method for the calculation of the eccentricity and tile value of the intraocular lens after the implantation of the intraocular lens.

Three hundred and ninety five patients with bronchial asthma were randomly divided into 4 groups:patients in group A received inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate(BDP)100μg and Zhichuan decoction;patients in group B were given inhaled BDP 200μg;patients in group C took Zhichuan decoction only;patients in group D were given inhaled BDP 100 μg.Methacholine airway reactivity,pulmonary ventilation function,serum acidophilia cationic protein and symptom score were determined before and after treatment.All above indicators were significantly improved in groups A and B,which suggests that Zhichuan decoction could reduce hormone dosage in control of airway chronic inflammation,reduction of airway reactivity and improvement of pulmonary ventilation function of patients with bronchial asthma.

Objective To study on the changes of the DNT cells and T lymphocyte subtype in children with infectious mononucleosis (IM) and its clinical significance.Methods The flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detected the DNT cells and other T lymphocyte subtype in 48 cases of IM.Results The study showed that DNT cells( 9.39 ± 4.89 )% were greatly increased in comparison with normal controls (NC) (4.26 ± 1.68)% ( P ＜0.01 ).CD4 cells(21.45 ±9.87)% were decreased ( P ＜0.01 ) and CD8 cells increased in comparison with NC (32.43 ± 5.07) % ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion DNT cells and T lymphocyte subtype can be used to evaluate the immune function of children with infectious mononucleosis (IM) and provide guidance for adoptive immunotherapy.

Objective To compare the difference in ischemic heart disease (IHD) incidence between left and right breast cancer treated with post-op radiation therapy.Methods We retrospectively reviewed electronic database of breast cancer patients treated in our cancer center from October 2006 to December 2011.Clinical data were recorded including clinical features,radiation fraction,and IHD.Statistical analysis was performed to compare the difference in IHD incidence between left and right breast cancer.Results Age on diagnosis was significantly associated with IHD (P ＜ 0.05).Compare to younger patients (≤60),the increased hazard ratio of IHD in older patients (＞60) was 3.84.The left breast cancer patients had greater incidence of IHD with the increased hazard ratio of 1.57 although this difference did not reach statistical power (P ＞ 0.05).No patients got IHD in the intensity-modulated radiation therapy group.Conclusions Left-side breast cancer patients may have more probability to get IHD after thoracic radiation therapy compared to right-side patients.We recommend that left-side breast cancer patients should be treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy to spare heart if they receive prophylactic radiation therapy after surgery.

ObjectiveTo investigate hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) levels in the tissue and serum of patients with chronic hepatitis,cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),and analyze the clinical significances of HGF for HCC.MethodSurgical specimens from 97 patients were collected during Dec.2003 to Aug.2008 in the Third Central Hospital.The patients were prospectively enrolled and categorized into four groups:normal subjects ( n =11 ),chronic hepatitis B or C ( n =6＝,cirrhosis ( n =20)and HCC ( n =60 ) including well-differentiated ( n =21 ),moderately differentiated ( n =23 ),poorly differentiated (n =16) specimens.N0 (n =24),N1 (n =21 ),N2 (n =54) and N3 (n =43) were tissues respectively removed from liver at 0,1,2 or 3 cm beyond the margin of tumor.HGF mRNA expression in liver tissues was determined by real-time quantitative reverse transcription- (RT)-PCR.Serum HGF levels in the other cases of normal subjects ( n =20),chronic hepatitis B or C ( n =20),cirrhosis ( n =20) and HCC (n =57) were measured by ELISA.The Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank test was employed for survival analysis.Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors in each group.ResultsThe HGF mRNA in normal subjects,chronic hepatitis,cirrhosis,N3,N2,N1,N0 and HCC were0.99(0.78-1.66),2.15(1.06-3.40),1.78(1.18-2.73),4.59(2.67 -8.63),3.86 ( 2.25 - 6.45 ),3.12 ( 1.59 - 5.74 ),2.92 ( 0.88 - 5.99 ) and 0.48 ( 0.19 - 1.06 ) respectively.The serum concentration of HGF in the normal subjects,chronic hepatitis,cirrhosis and HCC patients were (0.31 ± 0.05 ),(0.65 ± 0.07 ),( 1.27 ± 0.30 ) and ( 2.06 ± 0.66) μg/L respectively.The highest level of HGF mRNA was found in N3,while the HGF mRNA expression in HCC was [ (2.14 ± 0.52 ) μg/L] lower than that not only in the non-tumor tissues,but also in the normal control ( U =196.50,P =0.03 ).The serum concentration of HGF was significantly higher in patients with chronic hepatitis,cirrhosis or HCC than in normal subjects.The serum HGF level of HCC was bounced after hepatectomy (t =2.70,P ＜0.01 ).On the logistic regression analysis,the tumor numbers and Child-pugh were related with the levels of the tissue HGF mRNA and serum HGF of HCC,OR were0.15 (95％CI:0.03-0.72,P＜0.05) and0.13 (95％CI:0.27 -0.89,P ＜0.05 ),respectively.Univariate analysis using the Cox proportional hazards model in the complication groups revealed that the levels of the tissue HGF mRNA and serum HGF were significant risk factors of death for HCC,OR were 0.02 (95％ CI:0.00 - 0.52,P ＜ 0.05 ) and 10.01 (95％ CI:1.16 -86.23,P ＜ 0.05 ),respectively.On the Log-rank analysis,no statistically difference in the cumulative survival was found between the two groups categorized by median (0.49) of tissue HGF mRNA 2 - AACT (X2 =0.13,P =0.72).While the HCC patients were dichotomized by their the median(0.69 μg/L) of serum HGF concentration,the death risk for the patients with higher levels of HGF was increased 2.84 fold than those with lower levels (95％ CI:1.03 - 7.92,P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionHGF mRNA expression is decreased in tumor tissues,while its level in tumor adjacent live and serum is significantly elevated and is in association with shortened postoperative survival of HCC patients.

Objective To investigate the abnormal brain activity of first-episode depression by rest-ing state functional magnetic resonance imaging ( fMRI) .Methods Twenty-one adolescent participants diag-nosed with depression(AD) and 18 healthy controls ( HC) were recruited.Resting state fMRI brain scans were performed on all participants.Regional homogeneity ( ReHo) approach was applied to preprocess the fMRI datasets.The value of ReHo maps were obtained in the whole brain.Results ReHo values in the AD group were higher than those in the healthy controls in the right inferior temporal gyrus ( MINI:66,-24,-20) ,left upper cingulate cortex (-27,47,-6) ,frontal polar (-24,59,14) ,after upper left cingulate cortex (-1,-16,35),after the bottom left cingulate cortex (-2,-38,32),left praecuneus (-1,-48,65) com-pared with that in the healthy controls (P<0.05) .ReHo in the AD group decreased in the right middle tempo-ral gyrus (45,-34,32) compared with that in the healthy controls (P<0.05).Conclusion Extensive ReHo abnormalities were found in the brains of patients with first-episode,drug-naive depression,and these abnor-malities in spontaneous neural activity may contribute to the neuropathology of adolescent depression.

Objective To investigate long-term data of dry eye after LASIK in young myopia patients.Methods Young myopia patients were divided into treated group (group A) and control (group B),who were interviewed before surgery and on 1 year,3 years and 5 years after surgery.Their diopters,uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA),tear breakup time test,Schirmer I test and corneal fluorescent staining were taken,then dry eye was diagnosed and OSDI questionnaire were scored.Results The postoperative incidence of dry eye in group A was higher than that before surgery (35.6％) and decreased with time (51.7％,44.9％ and 40.7％,respectively),and there was no significant difference in group B at each time point (P ＞ 0.05).The preoperative incidence of dry eye was equal between two groups (P ＞ 0.05),which were much higher in group A after surgery (all P ＜ 0.05).In group A,the postoperative constituent ratio of mild dry eye was the majority and decreased with time (65.6％,52.8％,41.7％,respectively),while moderate and severe dry eye was increased,especially the latter (6.6％,11.3％ and 16.7％,respectively;P ＜ 0.05).At 5 years after surgery,the UCVA and visual function score in dry eye patients were lower than those of non-dry eye patients (all P ＜ 0.05),while the residual refraction and ocular symptom score were higher than those of dry eye patients (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Dry eye disease may last for a long time and may getting worse after LASIK.Therefore,we should pay more attention to the development of dry eye long after LASIK in young myopic patients.
