Objective To discuss the optimal retrieval time of the indwelling Gunther Tulip and Cook Celcet inferior vena cava filters (VCF). Methods During the period from March 2013 to April 2015 at Shengli Oilfield Central Hospital, the implantation of retrievable inferior vena cava filter was performed in 58 patients. Among the 58 patients, Gunther Tulip VCF was used in 13 and Cook Celcet VCF was employed in 31. Twenty-one patients followed the doctor's advice to receive retrieval procedure of VCF within three months after the implantation. Results Among the 21 patients, successful retrieval of VCF was obtained in 19. The mean indwelling time of Gunther Tulip VCF was 54.4 days, the longest time being 79.0 days. Gunther Tulip VCF was successfully removed in 3 patients and retrieval of VCF failed in 2 patients, with a retrieval success rate of 60%. The mean indwelling time of Cook Celcet VCF was 37.6 days, the longest time being 67.0 days. Cook Celcet VCF was successfully removed in 16 patients, with the success rate of retrieval being 100%. Conclusion Despite many VCFs that have been indwelled for a long time can be safely retrieved, retrieval procedure should be performed as early as possible in order to improve the retrieval success rate of VCF. It seems that the use of Cook Celcet VCF is a better choice although it is more expensive.

Objective To explore the relationship between G-protein β3 subunit (GNB3) gene C825T polymor?phism and the weight gain of schizophrenics treated with olanzapine. Methods Ninety schizophrenics of first time hospi?talization were collected and treated with olanzapine for 12 weeks. The changes of body weight and body mass index (BMI) were detected before and after 12-week olanzapine treatment. The GNB3 gene C825T polymorphism in patients was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing technique. The correlation of GNB3 gene C825T polymorphism and change of clinical parameters was analyzed. Results Body weight and BMI in patients were all increased significantly after treatment (all P<0.01). Weight gain rate (WGR) and increase of BMI in the TT genotype group were higher than those in the CC genotype group (all P<0.01). WGR and increase of BMI in the T-allele carrier (TT and CT genotypes) were higher than those in the T-allele non-carrier (CC genotype) (all P<0.01). There was signifi?cant difference in distribution of genotypes between WGR ≥7% group (CC 15.69%, CT 54.90%, TT 29.41%) and WGR <7% group (CC 38.46%, CT 43.59%, TT 17.95%) (P<0.05). The frequency of T-allele in the WGR≥7% group (63.33%) was higher than that in the WGR<7%group (39.74%) (P<0.05). Multi-variable linear regression indicated that TT genotype (contrasted with CC genotype) was an influential factor for change of body weight after treatment with olan?zapine (β=1.83, standardized β=0.29, P<0.01). Conclusions The GNB3 gene C825T polymorphism is associated with olanzapine-induced weight gain.

Objective To study the impact of different insulin levels on the conversion from impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM),through analysis of different glycometabolism condition among quinquagenarian population.Methods Subjects enrolled were Beijing habitants who received annual physical examination [ including oral glucose tolerance test (OGTI) ] in the Chinese PLA General Hospital from 2005-2007.According to the OGTT results,the subjects were divided into three groups,including normal glucose tolerance-non-hyperinsulinemia group (NGT-NHIns),IGT-hyperinsulinemia group (IGT-Hins) and IGT-non-hyperinsulinemia group (IGT-NHINS).The prognosis between the year 2009 and 2010 of the three groups was observed.Hyperinsulinemia was diagnosed with fasting serum insulin ≥ 15 mU/L and/or 2-hour serum insulin ≥ 80 mU/L after glucose loading.Results The rate of case number of conversion to T2DM in IGT-NHIns group (42/133) was higher than that in IGT-Hins group (24/154) or NGT-NHIns group (12/126).The HOMA insulin resistance index (HOMAIR) of individuals with IGT-NHIns was lower than that of IGT-Hins [ 0.96 (0.40,3.53 ) vs 2.04 (0.59,23.20),P < 0.05 ],while whole body insulin sensitivity index (WBISI) was higher than that of IGT-Hins [ 7.48 (3.20,31.35 ) vs 3.28 ( 0.86,7.67 ),P < 0.05 ].Modified β-cell function index ( MBCI ) and insulin secretion index (ISI) in IGT-NHIns was poorer than that of IGT-Hins respectively [ 2.57 (0.58,10.98) vs5.17(1.04,65.09); 7.66 (0.99,28.40) vs 17.56 (4.18,96.46),allPvalues <0.01].Conclusions The risk of IGT-NHIns progressing into T2DM is higher than that of IGT-Hins. For the prevention of T2DM,individuals with IGT-NHIns should be paid more attention than keeping an eye on IGT-Hins patients.Early control of risk factors could protect β cell function and prevent the progression to T2DM.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the autopsy characteristics, pathologic type, malfomation and genetic characteristics of complete atrioventricular septal defect (CAVSD).
METHODSThirty five cases of CAVSD were collected from Maternal and Child Hospital of Haidian District during Jan.2003 to Jan.2015. Autoptic material, clinical history and chromosome examination were reviewed.
RESULTSAmong 35 cases of CAVSD between 18-38 gestational weeks, there were 26 cases with CAVSD A (74.3%, 26/35), 1 case with CAVSD B (2.8%, 1/35) and 8 cases with CAVSD C (22.8%, 8/35). Only CAVSD malformation was seen in 4 cases (11.4%, 4/35). Multiple malformations were seen in 31 cases (88.6%, 31/35). Combined malformations most frequently occurred in cardiovascular, respiratory and locomotor system. Among 15 cases with chromosome examination, chromosome aberrations was found in 13 cases (13/15) and trisomy-21 was found in 11 cases (11/15).
CONCLUSIONSCAVSD is a rare disease and CAVSD A is the most common type. CAVSD is usually combined with other malformations and chromosome aberrations.
