Objective To investigate the effect of smoking and smoking cessation on the phosphorylation of IKK-β in type 2 diabetic rats. Methods Forty-two six-week-old Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal control(NC, n =7), diabetes control (DC, n =7), diabetes with smoking (DS, n = 14) and diabetes with smoking cessation(SC, n = 14). Rats in DS and SC groups were further assigned randomly into 8w and 12w subgroups. DS group was given passive smoking twice a day for 8 or 12 weeks, while SC group ceased passive smoking for 4 weeks after 8 or 12 weeks of smoking . Western blot method was used to detect the level of IKK-13 phosphorylation in skeletal muscle. Results Compared with the NC group,the phosphorylation of IKK-β protein in DC group was increased (0. 16±0. 05 vs 0. 30±0. 08, P < 0. 01). There was an increasing trend with the phosphorylation level of IKK-β in the DS (8w) subgroup, but there was no statistical difference between the DC group and SC(8w) subgroup (0. 40±0. 09 vs 0. 30±0. 08,0. 36±0. 10, P >0. 05). The phosphorylation level of IKK-β in DS(12w) group increased obviously, being significantly higher than that in the DC group and SC (12w) subgroup(0. 74 ± 0. 11 vs 0.30±0.08,0.35±0.07,P < 0.01). Conclusion With the prolongation of smoking duration, the phosphorylation of IKK-β in type 2 diabetic rats increased. After smoking cessation, the phosphorylation of IKK-β decreased. The phosphorylation of IKK-β may be involved in the mechanism by which smoking causes type 2 diabetes.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of the test injection at popliteal arteries on 64-slice CTA in lower extremity peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). Methods Twenty-eight patients with PAOD referred for 64-slice CTA were enrolled consecutively in the study. Test injection was performed at bilateral popliteal arteries (the level of knee joints) and the clinic value of the peak value and the time to peak was analyzed. The relationship between the time to peak and the peak value was evaluated with Pearson test. The time to peak was used for programming of the CT angiographic acquisitions with fast scanning mode. The quality of visualization of each arterial segment was determined independently by two radiologists. Results Fifty-four (96%, 54/56) time-attenuation curves were obtained in 28 patients. The wide interindividual variation in the peak value and the time to peak was observed in 52 curves of 26 patients with range of 60-178 HU,21-46 s and an average of (135±28) HU,(31±6) s, respectively. The difference in the peak value and the time to peak between bilateral popliteal arteries was also observed with range of 10-80 HU and an average of (32±18) HU in 19 patients,with range of 1-12 s and an average of (5±3) s in 21 patients. There was negative relationship between the peak value and the time to peak (r=-0.526, P<0.01). The CTA images were of good (598 segments) or medium quality (12 segments) in 99% segments (610/616). Conclusions The test injection at popliteal arteries was useful for 64-slice CTA in the patients with PAOD, as it could accurately specify the delay time of CT angiographic acquisitions.

Objective To explore the relationship of D-Dimer and high sensitive C-reactive protein in serum in acute cerebral infarction. Methods 64 patients with acute cerebral infarction were measured with the D-Dimer and Hs-CRP and compared with that of 50 healthy subjects as the controls. Their scores of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) were recorded and the correlation with the D-Dimer and Hs-CRP level was analyzed. Results Compared with those in controls, the levels of D-Dimer and Hs-CRP in patients with acute cerebral infarction were significantly higher (P<0.05), and those in patients with large infarction area were significantly higher than those in patients with small infarction area (P<0.01). The levels of D-Dimer and Hs-CRP uncorrelated with the scores of NIHSS.Conclusion The D-Dimer and Hs-CRP level is helpful to assess the acute cerebral infarction.
