To explore the clinical value of the color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI))in diagnosis of vascular disease in the lower extremities of patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus(2DM), 102 patients with 2DM and 20 normal controls were included in this study. The values of vessel intimal-media thickness(IMT), the size of plaque, vessel diameter, percentage of diameter stenosis, percentage of the peak systolic velocity acceleration at stenosis orifice, and velocity wave pattern were obtained with CDFI. The study indicated that the incidence of vasculer disease in the lower extremities as shown by CDFI was higher than that as assessed by clinical manifestations only. By CDFI,the severity of the stenosis or the obstructive lesions of blood wessels in lower extremities was better evaluated,moreover quantitative indexes for clinical diagnosis were provided.

Objective To observe the ultrastructure of pancreas in the bustard( Otis tarda limaells) . Methods Three bustard's pancreas were observed with electron microscope. Results The exocrine secretory units of bustard's pancreas contain a lobulated tubulo acinar gland in which the lobulation is not so distinct as that of the mammalian gland due to the lack of interlobular connective tissue septa.The space between lobular pancreas is lined directly with pancreatic cells as the duct.Single long spindle shaped connective tissue cell could only be seen among three lobules and its cytoplasm becomes slender and stretches into the space between lobules as a distinct intermediate dense line.The exocrine secretory cells can be divided into two kinds of dark and light.In the light cell,particularly in swelled up rER with very little density are filled the greater part of the cytoplasm and made the cell appearance much lighter than other cells.\;The endocrine cells are divided into two types that are dispersed in pancreatic singly and clustered into pancreatic islets.The dispersed endocrine cells contain a lot of moderate dark electron dense granules in their process near basement membrane.There are two types of islets——A islet and B islet in the bustard pancreas.A islets comprise only one cell type with moderate electron density that contains dark endocrine granules.B islet contains two cell types:B and D cell.B cells are the most numerous cells with a long ovoid nucleus and contains two or three types of granules in the cytoplasm.D cells are relatively rare and can be seen in the periphery nearby basement membrane.Cells keep close to each other and desmosomes can be seen within the islet.The endocrine cells closely contact exocrine cells without basement membrane in the periphery partly.Conclusion\ These are some structural characteristics that adapt to fly and that are different from other animal in bustard's pancreas.

Objective To investigate the effects of insulin-like growth factor-1（IGF-1）on the cell proliferation of human non-small-cell lung cancer（NSCLC） and the possible molecular mechanism.Methods MTT assay was used to examine the effects of IGF-1 （0.1,1,10,100 ng/mL）on the cell proliferation of NSCLC cell lines（A549,LK2,H460）,Flow cytometry（FCM）and Western blot to ana-lyze the cell cycles and the protein expression of S-Phase Kinase-Associated Proteins 2（Skp2）and CDC20 homolog 1（CDH1）,respectively.Results The cell proliferation of NSCLC cell lines（A549,LK2,H460）could be promoted by the IGF-1 at different concentrations and the proliferation rate peaked when the cells were treated with 1 ng/mL IGF-1.Compared with control,the percentage of the S-phase cell population was significantly increased after the treatment of IGF-I（P 〈 0.01）and the protein expression of SKP2 also increased obviously（P 〈0.05）.However,there was no change in the CDH1 protein expression（P 〉 0.05）.Conclusion IGF-1 may accelerate the cell-cycle pro-gression of NSCLC cells by negatively modulating p27 protein via the up-regulation of SKP2 protein expression.
