Objective To investigate the relationship among HbA1c、urine microalbuminuria (UmAlb)and blood lipids in pa-tients type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods 120 patients with type 2 diabetes in the hospital were enrolled in the study in 2012.Ac-cording to the test results of HbA1c,the people enrolled in the study were divided into two groups,group A:HbA1c <6.5%,60 cases totally;group B:HbA1c≥6.5%,60 cases totally.UmAlb and blood lipids were measured.Results Compared with group A, UmAlb、TC、TG and LDL-C concentrations increased significantly in group B(P <0.05),while HDL-C decreased significantly(P <0.05).Conclusion In type 2 diabetic patients whose HbA1c≥6.5%,UmAlb,TC,TG and LDL-C concentrations increased obvi-ously and the risk of diabetic complications increase.

Objective:To evaluate the quality of root filling with Resilon/Epiphany Self-Etch(RESE).Methods:30 recently extrac-ted mandibular premolars were randomly divided into 2 groups.After root canal preparation,the roots in experimental group(n =1 4) were filled with RESE,those in control group(n =1 6)were filled with Gutta-percha/AH plus.The quality of the optical obturation was evaluated by X-ray photography.Results:The buccolingual X-ray scores of the two filling materials were higher than the mesiodistal sores(P <0.05),there was no statistical significance between the two kinds of filling materials(P >0.05).The mesiodistal X-ray score of RESE group was higher than that of Gutta-percha/AH plus group(P <0.05).Conclusion:The X-ray resistance of the RESE filling system is more favorable than Gutta-percha/AH plus for the evaluation of root filling quality by X-ray examination.

ObjectiveTo immunoscreen the mimic peptides of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen from phage displayed 12-mer peptide library.MethodsSpecific IgG was purified from sera of patients with TB and used as the target to immunoscreen a phage random peptide library of 12 amino acids.Positive clones which were obtained after three rounds of biopanning were detected by ELISA and sequenced.The diagnostic value of the high frequent positive clones were observed by ELISA.Results After 3 rounds of immunoscreening,the eluted phages were enriched effectively.Six kinds of animo acid sequence were obtained from twelve positive phage clones.Sensitivity of the two high frequent positive clones were 71.4％ (A2)and 55.4％ (A7) respectively.ConclusionThe antigen-mimic peptide was successfully screened from 12 random phage peptide library and the peptides can be recognized by tuberculosis patients' polyclonal antibodies.

Objective To evaluate the effect of levamlodipine intervention in diabetic nephropathy patients which accompanied with hypertension, using the technology of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of functional magnetic resonance (fMRI).Methods A controlled prospective method was taken , and fifty diabetic nephropathy ( phase III) patients which accompanied with hypertension were randomized assigned to two groups of A ( n =26) and B ( n =24).Levamlodipine (2.5 mg qd) was taken by patients of group A and amlodipine (5 mg qd) was taken by patients of group B for 24 weeks, respectively.Two groups both took angiotensinⅡreceptor blockers (ARBs) as the first line antithypertensive agents , their urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), serum creatinine (sCr), cystatin C (Cys C) , and DWI scanning were detected before and after intervention .The levels of UAER, apparent diffusion coeffi-cient (ADC) value were compared between two groups before and after intervention .During the 24th week, two groups'adverse reac-tion to the medicines and the levels of blood pressure were recorded in each follow-up visit.Results The levels of UAER, systolic blood pressure(SBP), and diastolic blood pressure(DBP) were Significantly lower in group A after 24-week intervention compared to baseline [42.5 (25.3~91.0)μg/min vs 49.2(29.7~96.8)μg/min,(112.6 ±6.4)mmHg vs (135.3 ±7.6)mmHg, (71.4 ± 10.7)mmHg vs (80.3 ±11.6)mmHg, P <0.05, respectively].DWI scanning showed that ADC value of renal parenchyma was sig-nificantly improved than that of baseline [(2.45 ±0.12)vs(2.17 ±0.09), P <0.05].In Group B, the level of SBP was also signifi-cantly lower than that of baseline [(121.5 ±11.6)mmHg vs (134.8 ±9.2)mmHg, P <0.05], and ADC value of renal parenchyma was significantly improved than that of baseline [(2.28 ±0.15) vs (2.14 ±0.09), P <0.05].No difference was found in DBP and UAER before and after intervention ( P >0.05).Group A had a better improvement of SBP (ΔSBP) and ADC (ΔADC) after inter-vention compared to group B ( P =0.02,0.01, respectively).The overall adverse reaction incidence was 15.4%(4/26) in group A and 41.7%(10/24)in group B, respectively (χ2 =4.27, P =0.0387).Conclusions For the diabetic nephropathy (phase III) pa-tients accompanied with hypertension , levamlodipine likely showed better effects on reducing comprehensive blood pressure and UAER , improving renal microcirculation , with less overall adverse reaction compared to amlodipine .

AIM: To construct a lentiviral vector harboring RNAi sequence targeting human annexin A2 (ANX A2) and to investigate the functions of ANX A2 in antiphospholipid antibody (APL)-induced tissue factor (TF) expression in monocytes. METHODS: Four different short hairpin RNAs (shRNA) targeting ANX A2 gene were constructed and cloned into the pGCSIL-GFP vector. After identification with PCR and sequencing, the effective interference sequence was further determined by Western blotting analysis. The recombinant lentivirus LV-RNAi-ANX A2 harvested from 293T cells was transferred into THP-1 cells and the ANX A2 mRNA and protein expression on THP-1 cells were examined. The transferred-THP-1 cells were stimulated by APL/β_2GPI compound, and the TF mRNA and TF activity was assayed. RESULTS: The RNAi sequences targeting the human ANX A2 gene were successfully inserted into the lentiviral vector and the high-performance RNA interference sequence was sieved out. The recombinant lentivirus was harvested from 293T cells with a viral titer of 3×10~(12) TU/L. THP-1 cells infected with LV-RNAi-ANX A2 showed almost lockout of ANX A2 both at mRNA and protein levels. The TF expression was also significantly decreased in the transferred-THP-1 cells induced by APL/β_2GPI compound. CONCLUSION: The lentiviral vector constructed in the present study blocks the ANX A2 expression in THP-1 cells and further inhibits the TF expression induced by APL/β_2GPI compound, which indicates that ANX A2 do play an important role in APL-induced TF expression on monocytes.

Objective To compare the effects of pulse high-volume hemofiltration (PHVHF) and continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) on severe acute panceatitis (SAP). Method From January 2005 to December 2009, a total of 38 patients with SAP were randomly(random number) divided into PHVHF group ( n = 18)and CVVH group ( n = 20). After hemofiltration for 72 hours, clinical symptoms, APACHE Ⅱ score, biochemical changes and mortality were observed. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 in plasma were assayed by using ELISA before and after treatment. The doses of dopamine used in shock patients were also observed. Measurement data were expressed in(-x) ± s, and t-test was used for comparison between two groups. Results In both groups ,symptoms were markedly improved after treatment. The APACHE Ⅱ score, serum amylase, creatinine, and white blood cell count were decreased ( P ＜ 0.05). Besides, hypoxemia and acidosis were corrected, and the PHVHF group was superior to the CVVH group especially in heart rate, breathing and APACHE Ⅱ score ( P ＜ 0. 05).The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 decreased in both groups ( P ＜ 0.05), and the PHVHF group was superior to the CVVH group ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). The doses of dopamine used in shock patients also decreased in both groups ( P ＜0. 01 ), and they decreased more in PHVHF group than in CVVH group ( P ＜ 0.05). The mortality was 11.1%in PHVHF group and 25 % in CVVH group. Conclusions PHVHF is obviously superior to CVVH in the treatment of SAP, and can serve as an important adjuvant therapy for SAP, stabilizing the hemodynamics and reducing the levels of pro-inflammatory factors and mortality.

Type 2 diabetes macrovascular disease is the main cause of death in type 2 diabetes mellitus. In recent years, the modern medical research and treatment of type 2 diabetes macrovascular disease has made some progress, but the international clinical trials suggest that the current treatment can not effectively reduce the incidence of this disease. Many clinical practices show that the effect of traditional Chinese medicine on this disease is exact, so that the clinical workers on the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus macrovascular disease of the status quo, now from the etiology and pathogenesis,clinical research, experimental research on the literature published in recent years, to provide reference for clinical treatment.

Objective To retrospectively study the risk factors of aortic arch calcificationand its influence on the survival prognosis of maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods One hundred seventy-seven cases of maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients were enrolled, including 66 cases of aortic arch calcification cases. Their general dialysis data were collected for the evaluation of dialysis adequacy and residual renal function, and their chest X-rays were recorded to assess the degree of aortic arch calcification. The two variables Logistics regression was used to analyze independent risk factors of aortic arch calcification; Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to analyze the influence on prognosis of dialysis patients; and multivariate COX regression was employed to analyze independent risk factors of death in dialysis patients. Results Among the 177 selected cases of peritoneal dialysis patients, 66 cases (37.29%) presented with aortic arch calcification. Elevated serum phosphorus was an independent risk factor of aortic arch calcification (OR=54.69 ,95%CI:10.01-298.65, P<0.01). The probability of survival in patients with mild and moderate (severe) calcification of aortic arch was less than those without calcification. Moderate (severe) calcification of aortic arch was the independent risk factor of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality, whose hazard ratios in patients with calcification were 3.779 times and 5.636 times of those in patients without calcification respectively. Conclusions Hyperphosphatemia is an independent risk factor promoting the development of calcification of aortic arch. The probability of survival in patients with mild and moderate (severe) calcification of aortic arch is less than those without calcification; moderate (severe) calcification of aortic arch is the independent risk factor of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality.

Objective To discuss the treatment method and opportunity for patients with gallbladder stones and extrahepatic bile duct stones who failed endoscopic removal of common bile duct stones by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP). Methods 12 patients, with gallbladder stones and extrahepatic bile duct stones, failed endoscopic stone extraction (ESE), underwent emergency one-stage laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE). Results All of the patients were successfully completed LC +LCBDE and stones were completely removed. Hyperamylasemia occurred in 3 cases and there was no bile leakage, intestinal leakage, cholangitis, pancreatitis, biliary bleeding and other complications. Conclusions Emergency LCBDE has been shown to be a safe and effective salvage procedure for failed ESE.

Objective To investigate the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of Liuwei Dihuang Glucoside(LW-AFC)against fear sensitization induced by traumatic stress.Methods Mice were divided into naive,control,stressed and LW-AFC administration groups.The LW-AFC treated group received LW-AFC(1.6 g/kg daily)via oral gavage for two weeks following exposure to traumatic stress.The non-associative memory dependent fear sensitization responses in mice subjected to trauma were investigated,including behavior in novel environments,social interaction,and observational fear tests.Z-score normalization method was employed to integrate and assess multiple behavioral variables such as travel distance,freezing time,and corner time,and comprehensively examined fear sensitization behaviors across the groups.Additionally,serum concentrations of adrenocorticotropic hormone,corticosterone,aldosterone,renin,angiotensin Ⅱ,and aldosterone were measured using ELISA.Results Compared to the control group,stressed mice exhibited significantly reduced travel distance(P<0.0001)and increased freezing time(P<0.0001)in the new context test.Integrated Z-scores indicated a significant increase in fear behavior among stressed mice during the new context test(P<0.0001).In the social interaction test,stressed mice demonstrated significantly reduced travel distance(P<0.0001),increased freezing time(P<0.0001),increased corner time(P<0.05),and higher integrated Z-scores(P<0.0001).In the observational fear test,stressed mice showed significantly reduced travel distance(P<0.05),increased freezing time(P<0.001),increased corner time(P<0.05),and higher integrated Z-scores(P<0.0001).Compared to the stressed group,mice in the LW-AFC treated group displayed trends toward improvement in travel distance,freezing time,corner time,and integrated Z-scores in the new context tests,albeit without statistical significance.In the social interaction test,the LW-AFC treated group exhibited a significant reduction in freezing time(P<0.05)and integrated Z-scores(P<0.05).In the observational fear test,the LW-AFC treated group showed a significant reduction in freezing time(P<0.05)and integrated Z-scores(P<0.01).Compared to the naive group,control and stressed groups exhibited an increased trend in renin and aldosterone levels after the fear sensitization test.Although there were no significant differences between stressed and control groups,renin and aldosterone levels significantly increased between stressed and naive groups(P<0.05,P<0.05).Following LW-AFC treatment,serum renin levels showed no significant change,while aldosterone levels significantly decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion Stressed mice exhibited significant fear sensitization behavior in new context,social interaction,and observational fear tests,possibly associated with partial activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system(RAAS)system.LW-AFC treatment significantly mitigated fear sensitization behavior of stressed mice in social interaction and observational fear test,potentially due to its regulatory effects on the RAAS system in mice subjected to traumatic stress.
