2.Clinical observation of sitagliptin combined with insulin aspart 30 with in the treatment of secondary failure of sulphonylurea in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2016;39(3):258-260
Objective To observe the effect of sitagliptin combined with insulin aspart 30 in the treatment of secondary failure of sulphonylurea in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Fifty-six cases were divided into group A and group B in random block design, with 28 cases of each group. The patients in group A was treated with sitagliptin combined with insulin aspart 30, while the patients in group B was given subcutaneous injection of insulin aspart 30R. All patients were treated for 12 weeks. Fasting plasma glucose(FPG), 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose(2 hPG), glycosylated hemeglobin(HbA1c), insulin secretion index (HOMA-β), body mass index (BMI), and incidence of low blood glucose before and after treatment were compared. Results Compared with that in group B, FPG [(5.61 ± 1.14) mmol/L vs. (7.8 ± 1.22) mmol/L], 2 hPG [(7.62 ± 1.35) mmol/L vs(9.72 ± 1.41) mmol/L] and HbA1c [(7.11 ± 0.83)%vs.(8.32 ± 1.04)%] in group A had a significant decrease;HOMA-β[(50.31 ± 5.12) vs. (41.86 ± 4.53)] of group A was higher than that of group B (P

Objective To evaluate the results of prosthesis augmentation,relieve suffering patient experience,improve shape and touch of breast.Methods According to design,in dual-plane mammaplasty transaxillary approach with endoscopic assistance,we used soft-tissue expansion before prosthesis,saline volume in expander was the same as prosthesis size at beginning; adjusting expander volume and position,then determined prosthesis size according to expander volume lastly.after intraoperative sustained expansion for 30 to 60 minutes twice prosthes volume,replace expander with prosthesis.Results This method was applied in 120 patients,showing that pain significantly reduced after expansive without use of analgesia pump; complications included that 3 patients appeared seroma and absorbed soon; 2 patients had poor prosthese location,which was adjusted in reoperation; one capsular contracture was repaired later.After 6-months to 2-years follow-up,the results showed that breast was nature and dynamic; satisfactory rate reached to 95 %.Conclusions In augmentation mammaplastic operation,pre-adoption of an expander can make it easy to adjust the location of prosthesis,to avoid being injured and to determine prosthesis volume by expander injection of saline volume,especially for patient with different size of both breasts.

Objective:Comparing the effect of different doses of simvastatin in lowering the serum lipid.Methods:79 patients were randomized into group A and group B,and were given simvastatin 10 mg*d-1 (group A) and 20 mg*d-1 (group B),respectively for a total of 8 weeks.Results:Comparing with baseline,in group A,TC,TG,LDL-C were decreased by 23.4%,20.0% and 30.7%,respectively (P<0.01); HDL-C was increased by 17.5%.The content of serum TC,TG and LDL-C was decreased to the normal range in 12.8%,28.2% and 15.4% of the patients in group A.For the group B,TC,TG,LDL-C were decreased by 32.7%,22.8% and 42.8%,respectively (P<0.01); HDL-C was increased by 13.7%.The content of serum TC,TG and LDL-C was decreased to the normal range in 65.0%,57.5% and 65.0% of the group B patients.Conclusion:Oral intake of 20 mg of simvastatin once a day can effectively reduce the serum lipid.The patients can well tolerate and no obvious side effect was observed in our study.

Objective To investigate the application of the parenteral nutrition prescriptions for tumor patients in a tertiary hospital .Methods In this cross-sectional study , the parenteral nutrition prescriptions of all tumor inpatients in a tertiary hospital were collected from May to June in 2015 .The general data of patients who had used parenteral nutrition , the types of parenteral nutrition products , as well as the ratio of energy to ni-rogen ( E/N) , glucose/lipid ( G/L) ratio, non-protein energy to nitrogen ratio , and liquid volume were recor-ded and analyzed .Results Parenteral nutrition prescriptions were collected from 528 patients and showed high irrationality.The nutrient insufficiency rate was nearly 58.3%.The E/N (100:1 ~200:1) accounted for 32.3%and the G/L ( 1:1 ~2:1 ) 20.6%.Conclusions The rational application of parenteral nutrition should be a priority in clinical settings .A clinical nutrition supporting team may be established in tertiary hospi-tals to guide the appropriate use of parenteral nutrition .

Objective To explore the migration of transplanted neural stem cells labeled with SPIO with 4.7T MR system and study cell differentiation by immunohistochemistry in ischemic rats. Methods Rat neural stem cells(NSCs)co-labeled with SPIO mediated by poly-L-lysine and bromode- oxyuridine(BrdU)were transplanted into the middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)rats after 14 days when MCAO model was made successfully.4.7T MR scanner was used to monitor the migration of transplanted cells after 1.2,3,4,5 and 6 weeks post-transplantation.After MRI examination at 6th week,the rats were killed and Prussian blue staining and immunohistochemistric staining were per- formed to study migration and functional differentiation of NSCs.Results Three weeks after trans- plantation,linear hypointensity area derived from migration of labeled NSCs was observed in the corpus callosum adjacent to the injection site.Six weeks after transplantation,linear hypointensity area was moved toward the midline along the corpus callosurn.MRI findings were confirmed by Prussian blue staining and immunohistochemical straining.Co-labeled immunohistochemical methods demonstrated transplanted NSCs could differentiated into astrocytes and neurons.Conclusion MRI is very useful in demonstrating the migration path of labeled NSCs.Transplanted NSCs into ischemic rats can differen- tiated into astrocytes and neurons during the process of migration.
