Objective To survey changes and the significance of phospholipase A2(PLA2) on brain tissue of SD rat in acute pancreatitis. Methods With retrograde injection of 3% taurocholate sodium into pancreatic and biliary duct, rat model of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) was made,and it included four groups: the control group, the sham-operation group, the SAP group and the PLA2 inhibitor-treated group of SAP. Serum amylases, PLA2 and PLA2 in brain tissue were measured and the brain tissue changes were observed. Results There were no significant difference in serum amylases, PLA2 and PLA2 in brain tissue between the sham-operation and the control groups; the levels of serum amylases, PLA2 and PLA2 in brain tissue in the SAP group were higher than those in the control. In the SAP group expansion and hemorrhage of meninges, intracephalic arteriolar hyperemia, in meninges and cephalic-parenchyma infiltration of inflammatory cells and interval broaden were observed, significant differences were found between two groups.Compared with the SAP group, the level of serum amylase, PLA2 and PLA2 in brain tissue were reduced significantly in the treatment group of SAP. Pathological damages in the treatment group were significantly reduced when compared with the SAP group. Conclusion PLA2 might play an important role in brain tissue damages in severe acute pancreatitis.

Objective To evaluate Test-retest reliability of Mandarin monosyllable lists with equivalency in audibility in hearing loss group. Methods Mandarin monosyllable lists were used to test 18 adults with moderate-to-severe sensorineural hearing loss. Each people was tested twice with an interval of several days and with same test conditions including same lists order, same presentation level, and same tester. List number to begin with was different between people. All test lists for one patient were presented by 30 dB above his hearing threshold levels. Recognition scores were recorded in both tests. The results were analyzed using SPSS. Results Pearson product-moment correlation between the scores of two tests was 0. 931 (P<0. 001). The average critical difference was 16.3 % at the 95 % confidence level after the scores transformed into "rationalized" arcsine unit (RAU). Conclusion The average critical difference is 16. 3% at the 95% confidence level which is less than in the normal hearing group. All the lists have good test-retest reliability, and can be used in extensive clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the effect of early-phase insulin secretion and insulin resistance in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes, and to analysis the risk factors of glucose tolerance deterioration. Methods Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed in subjects over 30 years old coming from 78 families with type 2 diabetes. A total of 118 subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) [fasting plasma glucose (FPG)<6.1 mmol/L and 2h postprandial glucose (2hPG)<7.8 mmol/L] were enrolled. Another OGTT was performed in them to define the glucose tolerance status at the end of the 4-7 years follow-up. AINS30/APG30, the ratio of the increment of insulin to that of plasma glucose at 30 min after the glucose load, was used to assess the early phase insulin secretion. HOMA-IR and HOMA-β were calculated to assess the insulin resistance and β-cell function respectively. Results After 4-7 years follow-up, 66 of 118 subjects still remained NGT, while 52 became either diabetic (n=11)or pre-diabetic (n=41). Using the median of HOMA-IR and AINS30/APG30 as the cutoff points, all subjects were divided into four groups: subjects with good early phase insulin secretion and no insulin resistance, subjects with good early insulin secretion but relative insulin resistance, subjects with impaired early phase insulin secretion but no insulin resistance, subjects with impaired early phase insulin secretion and also relative insulin resistance. The incidences of abnormal glucose tolerance among these four groups were 23.1%, 36.4%, 45.5% and 73.1% respectively. There was a statistical difference between the former three groups and the last one (P<0.05). Log/st/c regression analysis showed that only the early phase insulin secretion was the risk factor of glucose tolerance deterioration, while age, gender, insulin resistance or β-cell function were not. Conclusion Impaired early phase insulin secretion is a major risk factor for the disturbance of glucose metabolism in the population with NGT.

In this study, the effects of blood glucose and blood pressure on the compliance of large and small arteries were investigated. The results showed that arterial compliances of both large and small arteries were decreased in patients with diabetes mellitus. In non-diabetic patients with well controlled blood pressure, the compliance of small arteries was markedly improved. These results suggested that both blood glucose and blood pressure affected arterial compliance.
