Objective To investigate the effects of short term insulin pump intensive therapy on flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with and without vascular complications. Methods Seventy-six patients with T2DM (T2DM group) were divided into 2 subgroups: T2DM1 subgroup (28 patients with vascular complications) and T2DM2 subgroup (48 patients without vascular complications). Meanwhile, 30 healthy cases were selected as NC group. All research subjects accepted high-frequency ultrasound detection on brachial artery for FMD. After insulin pump intensive therapy,FMD in T2DM group was reexamined, fasting insulin was detected and HOMA-IR was calculated. Results Compared with that in NC group, FMD in T2DM group was significantly lower(P< 0.01). However, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c ), fasting plasma glucose (FPG ),H0MA-IR and blood fat were significantly higher (P<0.01 or <0.05). Correlation analysis showed that FMD had negative correlation with HbA1c, FPG, HOMA-IR, triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)(P<0.01),and had positive correlation with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). After 2 weeks of insulin pump therapy, the improvement of FMD between the two groups was different. FMD in T2DM1 subgroup increased from (4.25 ± 1.96)% to (4.96 ± 1.36)%(P>0.05), and FMD in T2DM2 subgroup increased from (4.02 ± 2.35)% to (7.56 ± 2.34)%(P< 0.01). Conclusion Insulin pump intensive therapy can evidently improve FMD in T2DM patients without vascular complications.

Objective To investigate the synergistic effect of methotrexate (MTX) and cyclophos phamide (CTX) on cell cycle and cyclin D1 of periphery blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and bone marrow byflow cytometry. Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups including normal control, MTX and cyclophosphamide combination group, MTX and CTX only treatment groups respectively. PBLs were isolated for flowcytometry analysis for the changes of cell cycle and the expression of cyclin D1 at week 0, week 3,week 9, week18 and week 27. Mice were dissected and the changes of lymphoeytes cell cycle and the expressions of cyclin D1 in the bone marrow were measured at week 0, week 3, week 9, week 18 and week 27 increased and the ratio of phase S cells was decreased (P>0.05). In the CTX treatment group, there was no statistical difference in ratios of each phase. In the MTX and CTX combination treatment group, the proportion of phase G0/G1 cells decreased significantly and the percentage of phase S cells increased in both PBLs and bone marrow ceils (P<0.05). And there was no statistical significant difference in different time points after marrow between different groups or different dissecting time points. Conclusion MTX combined with CTX has been shown to have antagonistic effect on cell cycle. However, this effect is not via the cyclin DI pathway.

Objective To analyze the bacterial distribution and resistance in upper urinary tract stone patients, then choose suitable antibiotics and reduce infectious complications accordingly.Methods Middle flow urine, infectious stone and the end of kidney drainage tube were taken for culture in 148 patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy between January 2009 to September 2010. Antibiotics were used according to the culture results and the complications secondary to infection were analyzed. Results Urinary pathogens presented in 38 (25.7%) patients before operation.There were 112 strains of bacteria. The predominant strains included: Escherichia coli (17 cases,11.5%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (4 cases) and Proteus mirabillis (4 cases). Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabillis were common in stone culture. Staphylococcus epidermidis (5 cases),Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5 cases) and Staphylococcus haemolytcus (5 cases) were found in renal drainage tube culture which were positive in 25 patients. Imipenem, cefepime, vacomycin, nitrofurinton were sensitive and commonly used antibiotics. Forty-one patients (27.7 %) had fever postoperatively, including 10 positive for middle urine culture and 9 positive for drainage tube culture. One infective shock was diagnosed postoperatively. Conclusions Gram-negative bacilli are predominant in the upper urinary tract stone patients preoperatively. Gram-positive ones are common postoperatively.Suitable antibiotics, based on middle flow urine culture, could reduce urinary infective complications.
