Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2017;24(18):2772-2776
Objective To study the effects of acarbose combined with metformin in the treatment of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus and its effects on levels of glycosylated hemoglobin and serum cystatin C.Methods 76 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus were divided into observation group and control group according to the order of admission.The control group was treated with metfonnin,the observation group was treated with acarbose combined with metformin.The levels of blood glucose and serum cystatin C before and after treatment in the two groups were compared.The clinical efficacy and side effects were analyzed.Results After treatment,the total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group[89.47% (34/38) vs.63.16% (24/38)] (x2 =7.280,P < 0.05).After treatment,the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin,postprandial blood glucose,fasting blood glucose and serum cystatin C in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group[(6.78 ±0.81)%,(7.01 ±0.22)mmol/L,(5.12 ±0.32)mmol/L,(0.82 ±0.11)mg/L vs.(7.99 ±0.85) %,(9.49 ± 0.61) mmol/L,(7.32 ± 0.54) mmol/L,(1.41 ± 0.22) mg/L] (t =6.353,23.576,21.606,14.787,all P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of adverse reaction between the observation group and the control group [15.79% (6/38) vs.13.16% (5/38)] (x2 =0.106,P > 0.05).Conclusion Acarbose combined with metformin can effectively reduce the levels of glycated hemoglobin and serum cystatin C in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.The clinical efficacy is good and the adverse reaction rate is low.

Objective To observe the levels of Th1 and Th2 type cytokines of peripheral blood CD+4 T lymphocytes at different stage of treatment of colonic cancer,in order to find out the laboratory evidence of tumor immunotherapy.Methods The peripheral blood lymphocytes were stimulated by stimulator in order to enhance the expression of cytokines.Then specific fluorescent-conjugated monoclonal antibodies were added to combine with its specific antigens.Cytokines were detected by flow cytometry.Results At different stage of treatment of colonic cancer,the levels of Th1 type cytokines of each stage was significant.The levels of Th2 type cytokines at each stage were not significant.The IFN-γ//IL-4 ratio were significantly different during tumor immunothempy.Conclusion At different stage of treatment of colonic cancer,the levels of Th,type cytokines were obviously associated with treatment.The levels of Th2 type cytokines had no association with treatment.Among them,the changes of Th1/Th2 ratio (IFN-γ/IL-4) had more correlation with tumor immunotherapy.So the reasonable immunotherapy can reverse Th1/Th2 ratio and immune inhibition.

Objective To explore the application value of high frequency ultrasound and MRI in knee osteoarthritis.Methods 94 patients with knee pain as the main clinical manifestations in our hospital from January to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent high-frequency ultrasound, MRI, and arthroscopy. The results of arthroscopy were used as the gold standard, and the signs of high-frequency ultrasound and MRI examinations were summarized and compared with the results of arthroscopy. The sensitivity and specificity between high-frequency ultrasound and MRI in the diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis were compared. Results Consistency analysis showed that highfrequency ultrasound, MRI examination with arthroscopy consistent results were good (Kappa=0.63, 0.61, P<0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of high-frequency ultrasonography for knee osteoarthritis were 86.5% and 85.0%, respectively, and the sensitivity and specificity of MRI was 89.2% and 75.0%, respectively.The difference between high-frequency ultrasound and MRI was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion High-frequency ultrasound and MRI have good application value in the diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis, and the results are consistent with that of arthroscopy.Compared with MRI, high-frequency ultrasound diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis has no difference in sensitivity and specificity, and can be used for routine screening of knee osteoarthritis.

Objective To investigate the effect of Aidi injection combined with chemotherapy on CD+4CDhi25CDlow127regulatory T (Treg) cells in peripheral blood of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods Sixty patients with advanced NSCLC were randomly divided into the study group (treated with Aidi injection combined with chemotherapy) and the control group (treated with chemotherapy).The levels of CD+4CDhi25CDlow127Treg cells were detected by flow cytometry (FCM), and TGF-β1 and IL-10 levels were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before and after chemotherapy. A group consisted of 20 healthy persons was set up meanwhile.Results There was a significantly higher percentage of CD+4CDhi25CDlow127Treg cells in patients with NSCLC (5.77±1.50) % than that(3.84±0.96) % of healthy volunteers (P=0.000).The IL-10 and TGF-β1 levels[(24.09±6.74), (197.76±43.76) ng/ml]in the serum of patients with NSCLC were also significantly higher than that[(19.39±5.73), (141.13±32.17) ng/ml]of healthy volunteers (P =0.006,P =0.002). In control group, levels of CD+4CDhi25CDlow127 Treg cells were obviously lower than that before chemotherapy (P =0.048).Levels of TGF-β1 and IL-10[(22.25±6.79), (184.85±49.11) ng/ml]were slightly decreased, which showed no significant difference contrast to pretherapy[(24.37±8.10), (197.16±44.57) ng/ml](P =0.276, P =0.314).In study group, levels of CD+4CDhi25CDlow127Treg cells and TGF-β1, IL-10[(4.36±1.19) %,(20.16±4.73), (165.42±39.57) ng/ml]were obviously lower than that before chemotherapy[(5.78±1.50) %,(23.81±5.15), (198.35±43.68) ng/ml](P=0.000, P=0.003, P =0.006).Conclusion The CD+4CDhi25CDlow127 Treg cells in the peripheral blood of advanced NSCLC patients is significantly increased. Aidi injection combined with chemotherapy can obviously reduce the level of CD+4CDhi25CDlow127 Treg cells in patients with advanced NSCLC, and the combined therapy could improve the immune function of patients.

【Objective】 To investigate the feasibility of using surface electromyography (SEMG) for the detection of abnormal muscle response (AMR) in patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS). 【Methods】 We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of HFS patients who underwent microvascular decompression (MVD) in our hospital between June 2019 and December 2020. Patients who received both surface electrode (preoperative) and needle electrode (intraoperative) detection of AMR were included. SEMG recorded from two stimulation-recording sites, namely, zygomatic-mentalis and mandibular marginal-orbicularis oculi, was selected for analyzing the characteristics of AMR. The positive rates of AMR detected by these two kinds of electrodes were comprehensively compared. 【Results】 Totally 77 patients were included in this study. When detected with surface electrodes, the positive rate, latency and amplitude of AMR recorded at zygomatic-mentalis oculi were 90.9% (70/77), (10.87±1.86) ms and (202.8±47.4) μV, and at mandibular marginal-orbicularis oculi were 92.2% (71/77), (10.41±1.83) ms and (211.1±54.1) μV, respectively. AMR was detected in 74 patients (96.1%) with surface electrodes. There was no significant difference in positive rate, latency and amplitude of AMR between these two stimulation-recording methods. When detected with needle electrodes, the positive rate of AMR recorded at zygomatic-mentalis oculi was 98.7% (76/77), which was significantly higher than the rate 89.6% (69/77) recorded at mandibular marginal-orbicularis oculi (P=0.016). The latency and amplitude of AMR recorded at zygomatic-mentalis were (10.63±1.39) ms and (83.5±27.2) μV, and at mandibular marginal-orbicularis oculi were (10.31±1.18) ms and (58.6±21.4) μV. There was no significant difference in latency between the two stimulation-recording methods, but the amplitude recorded at mandibular marginal-orbicularis oculi was significantly lower (P=0.041). AMR was detected in 76 patients (98.7%) with needle electrodes. There was no significant difference in the detection rate of AMR between surface electrodes and needle electrodes (P=0.500), the results were moderately consistent (Kappa=0.490, P<0.001). 【Conclusion】 The detection efficiency of surface electrodes for AMR is similar to that of needle electrode. With its non-invasive characteristic, the surface electrode can be routinely used for electrophysiological evaluation of HFS.
