Objective To explore the relationship of the levels of adhesion molecules and cytokines with vascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Methods Ninety-six T2DM patients were selected as case group and divided into non-vascular group (28 cases),micro-vascular group (33 cases) and major vascular group(35 cases) according to vascular disease.Meanwhile,30 healthy persons were selected as control group.Serum levels of serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1),vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1),interleukin-6 (IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and yon willebrand factor (vWF) were determined by Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA),and the expression of adhesion molecule and cytokines of patients with T2MD at 2 weeks after treatment.Results Compared with control group,the levels of ICAM-1,VCAM-1,TNF-α and IL-6 in all subgroup of T2DM patients were significantly elevated(P < 0.05),and the levels showed an increasing trend with function deterioration (P < 0.05).The levels of ICAM-1,VCAM-1,IL-6 and TNF-α in case group before treatment were (505.34 ± 56.42) μg/L,(570.85 ±59.54) μg/L,(94.51 ± 18.04) ng/L,(70.57 ± 18.34) ng/L respectively,significant different from those of after treatment ((390.53 ±45.23) μg/L,(482.93 ± 69.85) μg/L,(77.31 ± 15.49) ng/L,(50.45 ± 12.66) ng/L; t =16.281,8.712,7.697,8.445; P < 0.05).There were significant positive correlation between ICAM-1,VCAM-1,IL-6,TNF-α and vWF in the case group(r =0.482,0.453,0.576,0.534 respectively,P < 0.05).Conclusion Adhesion molecules and cytokines are take part in the process of the deterioration of T2DM and the occurrence of vascular disease.

As a foreign body, intravascular stent will induce platelet aggregation on the stent surface and activate platelet system and coagulation system, resulting in thrombosis. Smooth muscle cells migrate to injured site and proliferate, leading to intimal hyperplasia and vessel wall remodeling, which induces restenosis. Incidence of intravascular restenosis is determined by stent type, disease of the host, severity of stenosis before implantation and remnant stenosis length following stenting. Inhibition of intimal hyperplasia or improvement of intima formation and vessel wall remodeling can effectively prevent restenosis. Currently, there are many drugs to prevent restenosis, including antiplatelet drug, anti-inflammatory growth factor inhibitor and anti-cell proliferation drugs.

Objective:To study the satisfaction of the physical self of the junior students in Guangzhou. Methords:582 middle school students were measured by the physical self scale. Results: The junior students in Guangzhou felt a medium satisfaction at their physical self, and the highest satisfaction was appearance(3.9?0.8),then the lowest was sexual characters(3.0?0.7). The male junior students felt obvious higher satisfaction with their physical self than the females, including appearance(3.9?0.7/3.8?0.7,F=7.39,P

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of reinforcing-reducing needling methods in treating peripheral facial paralysis. Method Seventy facial paralysis patients were randomized into two groups to compare the reinforcing-reducing needling methods and conventional acupuncture. The House-Brackmann (H-B) scale was observed and compared prior to the treatment, right after the treatment, and respectively after 30-day, 3-month, and 6-month treatments, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated after 6-month treatments. Result The H-B score of the reinforcing-reducing manipulation group was superior to that of the conventional group (P<0.05), and the therapeutic efficacy of the manipulation group was more significant than that of the conventional group (P<0.05). Conclusion The reinforcing-reducing needling methods can produce a better therapeutic efficacy in treating peripheral facial paralysis compared to conventional acupuncture.

Objective:To analyze the effect of global budget of New Rural Cooperative Medical System (NCMS) on the per-visit inpatient compensations,inpatient compensation ratios,per-visit inpatient out-of-pocket expenses and inpatient out-of-pocket rates.Methods:The difference in difference method was used to control the non-intervention factors and estimate the net impact of global budget.Results:Global budget of NCMS decreased the per-visit inpatient compensations by 14.37 yuan,but it had no statistical significance.The compensation ratio of hospitalization increased by 5.23%,the average hospitalization self-payment decrease by 141.51 yuan,the self-payment decreased by 5.23%,which all had statistical significance while there were differences on the effects for specific diseases.Conclusion:Global budget of NCMS increased the inpatient benefit,but the effect was varies by conditions.In addition,measurement of global budget's standard still needed to be scientific and reasonable.

Objective To assess left ventricular (LV) twist in a rapid pacing induced heart failure canine model undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) by three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (3D-STI).Methods Rapid right ventricular pacing (RVP) was utilized in 22 adult beagle dogs for 3 weeks to induce heart failure.Then 15 dogs received CRT for 2 weeks and others were treated as control.Apical full-volume acquisition of the LV was obtained in conscious animals at baseline,the end of 3-week RVP and the end of 2-week CRT.Peak LV apical (AP-Prot) and basal rotation (MV-Prot) along with peak twist (Ptw) and torsion (Ptor) were automatically calculated by TomTec 4D LV Analysis 3.0 software to identify the ideal parameter in predicting treatment response of CRT.Results After 2 weeks of CRT,LV ejection fraction(LVEF) increased and LV end-systolic volume(LVESV) decreased significantly in dogs with heart failure.CRT treatment response,defined as improvement of LVESV≥15%,was observed in 9 dogs.Significant difference was found in Ptw [(7.43 ± 0.61) vs (6.06 ± 0.89)°,P <0.05] and Ptor [(1.43 ± 0.45) vs (0.67 ± 0.36)°/cm,P <0.05] between responders and nonresponders.Ptw and Ptor predicted CRT response with satisfying sensitivity as 89% and 85%,specificity as 83% and 84%,respectively.Conclusions Peak twist and torsion evaluated by 3D-STI represented overall LV twist and demonstrated potential prediction value for treatment response of CRT.
