Objective To compare the diagnostic value of the Standardized Bedside Swallowing Assessment (SSA)and the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines(SIC)for bedside dysphagia screening of patients after acute cerebral infarction(ACI). Methods Eighty-six ACI patients within 24 h of stroke onset were enrolled in the study.Within 48 h after hospitalization,swallowing function assessments and dysphagia screenings were carried out with the SSA and SIG,as well as video fluroseopic swallowing studies(VFSSs).The SSA and SIG assessments generated sensitivities,specificities,positive predict values(PPVs),negative predict values(NPVs),positive likelihood ratios (PLRs)and negative likelihood ratios(NLRs).These were compared with the VFSS results. Results The SSA showed a sensitivity of 89.1%,specificity of 75%,PPV of 0.804,NPV of 0.833,PLR of 3.56,NLR of 0.15,and Kappa of 0.648 compared to the VFSS results.The SIG showed a sensitivity of 60.9%,specificity of 82.5%,PPV of 0.800,NPV of 0.647,PLR of 3.44,NLR of 0.47 and Kappa of 0.425 compared to the VFSS.The sensitivity of of the SIG.Both assessments correlated well with the VFSS results. Conclusions Both the SSA and the SIG are elfective in dysphagia screening.The SSA is more sensitive than the SIG and is more suitable for early screening.The SIG is helpful in guiding dysphagia management and evaluating curative effects.

[Objective] The study was conducted to investigate the effect of micronized fenofibrate on acute insulin response in the subjects with impaired glucose metabolism and hypertriglyceridemia. [Methods] Fifty-three subjects were randomly (2:1 ratio) allocated to fenofibrate group (n=36, including IFG 3 cases, IGT 19 cases, IFG/IGT 6 cases, T2DM 8 cases) or control group (n = 17, including IFG 1 case, IGT 9 cases, IFG/IGT 4 cases, T2DM 3 cases) without any intervention for 3 months. Fasting blood samples were collected for measuring fasting plasma glucose (FPG), free fatty acids (FFA), and lipid profile. IVGTTs were carried out with measurement of plasma insulin before and after treatment. Acute insulin response (AIR), the maximum insulin concentrations (C_(INS,MAX)) to fasting insulin (FINS) ratio (C_(INS,MAX)/FINS) and values of the maximum insulin concentrations increment (△C_(INS)) during IVGTT were calculated as indexes of first-phase insulin secretion. HOMA insulin resistance index (HOMA IR) was used for assessing insulin resistance. [Results] After 3-month treatment, the lipid profile was evidently improved in fenofibrate group. Levels of trigiyceridemia (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and FFA were significantly reduced and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased significantly. Waist circumference was also significantly declined. No change of above indicators was found in control group. In fenofibrate group, C_(INS,MAX)/FINS and △C_(INS) were significantly increased (median 8.4 pmol/L vs. 5.3 pmol/L, 808±473 pmol/L vs. 660±472 pmol/L, both P<0.0001), along with great improvement of AIR (5 585±3 441 pmol·L~(-1)·min~(-1) vs. 4 444±3 642 pmol·L~(-1)·min~(-1), P<0.0001). The level of FINS and HOMA IR was also markedly reduced (108±65 pmol/L vs. 166±115 pmol/L, P = 0.002; 3.8±2.3 vs. 6.0±4.2, P = 0.001). In contrast, there were modest declining in acute insulin response (AIR: 4 313～1 943 pmol·L~(-1)·min~(-1) vs. 5 362±2 861 pmol·L~(-1).min~(-1); C_(INS,MAX)/FINS: median 4.6 vs. 7.0, P= 0.01; △C_(INS): 641±286 pmol/L, vs. 720±321 pmol/L, P= 0.003 9) and increasing HOMA IR (7.8±4.2 vs. 5.6±3.2, P<0.000 1) in control group after 3-month follow-up. The improvement of AIR was correlated with the decreasing of plasma FFA and TG (r=0.41, 0.36, P = 0.002, 0.014), but no correlation with the changing of FPG and HOMA IR. [Conclusions] These results indicated that sbort-term lipid-lowering treatment with fenofibrate evidently improved acute insulin response and alleviated insulin resistance in subjects with impaired glucose metabolism and hypertriglyceridemia. Moreover, the improvement of insulin secretion capacity may be mainly due to the relieving of iipotoxity resulting from finofibrate.

Thirty six patients with hypertriglyceridemia and impaired glucose regulation or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, whose fasting plasma glucose was ≤8.0 mmol/L, were treated by fenofibrate for 3 months. Lipid profile, insulin during intravenous glucose tolerance test and oral glucose tolerance test ( including glucose) were measured before and after treatment After treatment, lipid profile was significantly improved. Insulinogenic index (△I30/△G30) and acute insulin response were significantly increased (98. 9vs. 129. 2, 3558.9 vs. 4783. 3 pmol · L - 1 · min - 1, respectively, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Fasting insulin and insulin resistant index in homeostasis model assessment ( HOMA IR) decreased ( 128. 6 vs. 84. 8 pmol/L, 4. 8 vs.3.0, respectively, P ＜0. 05 ). The improvement of insulin secretory function was more significant in patients with higher triglyceride (TG ＞ 3. 3 mmol/L). These results indicate that short-term lipid-lowering treatment with fenofibrate can improve β-cell function and insulin resistance. Patients with higher triglyceride are likely to achieve more benefit from lipid-lowering treatment.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of ginsenoside Rb1 on GSKbeta/IDE signal transduction pathway and Abeta protein secretion in hippocampal neurons of high glucose-treated rats.

METHODHippocampal neurons of 24 h-old newly born SD rats were primarily cultured, inoculated in culture medium under different conditions, and then divided into the normal group, the high glucose group, the LiCl group and the Rb1 group. After being cultured for 72 h, the expressions of their phosphorylated GSK3beta, total GSK3beta and IDE protein were detected by Western blotting analysis. The mRNA expressions of GSK3beta and IDE were determined by RT-PCR. The ELISA assay was used to detect the secretion of Abeta protein in cell supernatant.

RESULTCompared with the normal group, the high glucose group showed increase in the p/tGSK3beta protein ratio and the secretion of Abeta protein and decrease in IDE protein and mRNA (P < 0.05). Compared with the high glucose group, both Rb1 and LiCl groups showed decrease in the p/tGSK3beta protein ratio and the expression of Abeta protein and increase in IDE protein and mRNA expression (P < 0.05). Compared with the LiCl group, the Rb1 group showed no significant difference in the expressions of p/tGSK3beta protein, IDE protein, mRNA and Abeta protein expression. In addition, the GSK3beta mRNA expression of the four groups had no significant difference.

CONCLUSIONGinsenoside Rb1 may reduce the secretion of Abeta protein in hippocampal neurons by reducing the phosphorylation of GSK3beta, down-regulating the ratio of pGSK3beta/GSK3beta and upregulating the expression of IDE.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of long-acting antibacterial material that was used as an intervention in oral care cavity nursing in patients with endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. Methods Patients admitted to Xuzhou Medical College Hospital neurosurgery intensive care unit between 1st December 2013 and 31st August 2014 requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation were enrolled into the study. There were 100 cases randomly selected and were assigned into control group and experimental group by random number table. Each contained 50 cases. Control group used saline for oral care by brushing and irrigation;experimental group used antimicrobial material oral spray in oral care on the top of the method used in control group. The mouth odor, mouth infection rate and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) rate were used to determine. Results About oral odor, mouth infection rate, and VAP rate, the difference of incidences between experimental group and the control group was significant (χ2=4.504-13.728, P <0.05). Conclusions Antimicrobial material can effectively improve oral health in intubated and mechanical ventilated patients. It slows oral acidic environment change, reduces oral infections early onset VAP incidence. And it is worth promoting its use.
