Objective To investigate the changes of plasma adiponectin concentration in type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications.Methods Forty-nine cases of type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications,fifty-four cases of type 2 diabetic patients without macrovascular complications and thirty-five healthy people were investigated.Their plasma adiponectin levels was assayed.Meanwhile,the levels of blood pressure,plasma glucose,lipids and C-peptide were measured.The plasma adiponectin levels among three groups were compared,and the factors affecting the plasma adiponectin were analyzed.Results The plasma adiponectin levels in the group of type 2 diabetes without macrovascular complications were lower than in the control group and were the lowest in the group of type 2 diabetes with macrovascular complications.The plasma adiponectin levels of these three groups were (16.37?3.03)mg/L,(6.69?4.42)mg/L,(4.08?3.24)mg/L,respectively.The differences among the three groups were statistically significant (P

From the practice of application of PBL teaching in biochemistry,we find that the PBL has obvious advantages in inability training,class course and knowledge application,but the PBL should be applied in limited theory-learning course.

Objective:To investigate the effects of safflor yellow ( SY) on body fat, fatty liver and insulin resistance in diet-in-duced obese mice. Methods:Male C57BL/6 mice at the age of 4 weeks were fed with high fat diet ( HF) for 8 weeks to make the obese model. The mice were intraperitoneally injected SY (100 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 ) for 6 weeks. At the end of experiment, the introper-itoneal glucose tolerance test ( IPGTT) and insulin tolerance test ( ITT) were performed, and the body fat, blood lipid profile and the other metabolic parameters were detected. Meanwhile, the epididymis fat and liver tissue were withdrawn for HE staining, the adipo-cyte area was quantified and the morphology of liver was observed. Results:SY significantly reduced the body weight, body fat mass, adipocyte area, liver weight and blood lipid levels of the obese mice (P<0. 05), and fatty liver was obviously alleviated after the ad-ministration of SY. Meanwhile, IPITT and ITT tests showed that SY significantly improved the glucose intolerance and insulin resist-ance of the obese mice(P<0. 05). Conclusion:SY has significant weight-loss effects and it can alleviate fatty liver, and improve glu-cose intolerance and insulin resistance in diet-induced obese mice.

Objective To explore the clinical value of transvaginal three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound in assessing effects of Chinese herbal drugs on improving endometrial receptivity in patients with thin endometrium.Methods A total of 76 cases of patients diagnosed with thin endometrium in Jiangbei District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2015 to October 2016 were selected and treated with Chinese herbal prescription for three months.The endometrial thickness,endometrial volume and blood flow indexes before and after treatment were measured by using transvaginal three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound.Results After 3 months treatment,the endometrial thickness and endometrial volume were increased,and the pulse index (PI) and resistance index (RI) of endometrial blood flow were decreased,compared with those before treatment,there were statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The results of three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound indicates that after 3 months treatment the vascularization index (VI),flow index (FI) and vascularization flow index (VFI) were significantly higher than those before treatment,there were statistically significant differences (P＜0.05).Conclusion The Chinese herbal prescription could increase the thickness and volume of endometrium,augment blood supply,and improve endometrial receptivity significantly.Transvaginal color three-dimensional Doppler ultrasound is a convenient and objective method for evaluating clinical efficacy of Chinese herbal prescription in patients with thin endometrium,which has high practical value.
