Objective To study the relationship of peripheral vascular disease(PVD) with gender and serum uric acid in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods Lower extremities of 82 male and 70 female patients with type 2 diabetes were screened for PVD by color Doppler uhrasonography,and the levels of serum uric acid,fasting blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin and serum lipid were examined.Results In male,serum uric acid(328.12?107.30) ?mol/L,age(65.00?9.66) yrs,durations of diabetes(7.38?6.17) yrs, HBA_1Cc(7.74?1.83)% were significantly higher in the diabetic patients with PVD than those in patients without PVD.And these changes were not shown in female patients.In male,the detectable rate of PVD(82.14%)in diabetics with high level uric acid was also increased than that in normal uric acid group(53.70%).Conclusion The higher level of serum uric acid in type 2 diabetics was closely related with the occurrence of peripheral vascular disease in male.So we should actively control the level of serum uric acid in male.

Objective To summarize the experiences in diagnosis and treatment of thymoma in 120 cases. Methods 120 patients with thymoma were operated on, and the diagnosis was confirmed pathologically, from January 1994 to December 2003 in our department. According to Masaoka clinical and pathological classification, 54 cases were stage Ⅰ, 32 were stage Ⅱ, 22 were stage Ⅲ, 12 were stage Ⅳ. In 42 cases there were symptoms of myasthenia gravis. Result Total excision was performed in 112 cases and partial excision in 8 cases. When the tumor was beyond stage Ⅱ, postoperative radiotherapy was given. Recurrence occurred in 5 patients 1-7 years after operation. Conclusions Surgical resection is currently the main therapeutic method for tumor of the thymus. The preferred surgical approach was excision of thymoma and removal of perithymic fat in the anterior mediastinum through a median sternotomy. Thymoma is a potentially malignant disease, and the patients with the tumor beyond stage Ⅰ must undergo postoperative radiotherapy. Local recurrence of the tumor should be surgically excised.

Objective To compare the levels of serum CEA, NSE and CYFRA21-1 of patients with lung cancer and those with benign lung diseases, and to evaluate the clinical differential diagnostic value of combined detection of serum CEA, NSE and CYFRA21-1 in patients with lung cancer. Methods CEA, NSE and CYFRA21-1 were determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 122 patients with lung cancer and 37 patients with benign lung diseases. The data was analyzed by t test. Results The serum levels of CEA(12.95?33.04ng/ml), CYFRA21-1(4.87?0.638ng/ml) in patients with lung cancer were significantly higher than that in those with benign lung diseases (1.92?0.84ng/ml and 4.87?0.638ng/ml, respectively)(P0.05). The levels of serum CEA, NSE and CYFRA21-1 were related to types of pathology. The highest levels of CEA, NSE and CYFRA21-1 appeared in adenocarcinoma, small cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, respectively. The level of serum of NSE (26.05?20.69ng/ml) in patients with small cell carcinoma was significantly higher than that of the patients with benign lung disease, adenocarcinoma (11.26?6.97ng/ml) and squamous cell carcinoma (12.71?7.64ng/ml), respectively (P0.05). Conclusion Combined determination of serum levels of CEA, NSE and CYFRA21-1 is helpful in differential diagnosis of lung cancers.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of long guidewire exchange technique in performing cerebral angiography via radial artery approach.Methods The clinical data of 257 patients,who received cerebral angiography during the period from June 2014 to May 2016 at Daxing Hospital of Capital Medical University,Beijing,China,were retrospectively analyzed.Among the 257 patients,186 had type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ aortic arch.According to the different looping technologies for Simmons-2 catheter used in the performance of cerebral angiography,these 186 patients were divided into the study group (n=90) and the routine group (n=96).The success rate of radial artery puncturing,the success rate of Simmons-2 catheter looping formation,the success rate of supra-arch arterial catheterization,the time spent for angiography,the radiation exposure time,complications,etc.were recorded.Results The success rate of radial artery puncturing was 100％ in both groups.The success rate of Simmons-2 catheter looping formation in the study group was 97.8％,which was significantly higher than 72.9％ in the routine group (P＜0.05).The success rates of catheterization for the left subclavian artery,left common carotid artery and right carotid artery in the study group were 97.8％,97.8％ and 97.8％ respectively,which were remarkably higher than 72.9％,72.9％ and 72.9％ respectively in the routine group (P＜0.05).No statistically significant difference in the success rates of catheterization for right subclavian artery and for right vertebral artery existed between the two groups (P＞ 0.05).The time spent for angiography in the study group and the routine group was (22.5±9.4) min and (28.3±8.3) min respectively.The radiation exposure time in the study group was (8.9±4.5) min,which was obviously lower than (12.6±6.5) min in the routine group (P=0.017 and P=0.035,respectively).The incidences of complications in the study group and the routine group were 4.4％ and 5.2％ respectively,the difference was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).No severe complications,such as intracranial arterial embolie events,puncture bleeding,arterial occlusion,etc.,occurred in all patients of both groups.Conclusion The use of long guidewire exchange technology can improve the success rate of Simmon-2 catheter looping formation and the success rate of supra-arch arterial catheterization,it can also shorten the time for angiography procedure and reduce the radiation exposure time.This technique is very effective with higher safety.Therefore,this long guidewire exchange technique should be used as a common method for cerebral angiopraphy via radial artery approach in patients with type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ aortic arch.

Objective To investigate IL-18 expression of monocyte cells and the inhibition effect of fluvastation on its expression in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS). Methods Isolated monocyte cells from peripheral blood of patients with ACS were incubated with different concentrations of fluvastatin, and IL-18 mRNA level of the monocyte cells was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). Results The monocyte cells of peripheral blood in patients with ACS expressed IL-18 mRNA. IL-18 mRNA decreased from 54 1?9 9 to 50 1?12 6(P

Objective To evaluate the safety of nasogastric tube feeding and nasojejunal tube feeding in early enteral nutrition treatment of acute pancreatitis.Methods Using key words,subject headings,and citation tracing,we searched literatures reporting randomised controlled trials on early enteral nutrition treatment of acute pancreatitis through nasojejunal tube and nasogastric tube in the following databases:PubMed,Embase,Cochrane library,Wanfang,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),and VIP published since the founding of the databases up to 2016.Meta-analysis was performed with the selected literature.Results Seven randomised controlled trials with 367 patients were included.Meta-analysis showed that the nasogastric tube group was not inferior to the nasojejunal tube group in the incidence of recurrent abdominal pain,gastrointestinal adverse reaction,the total length of hospital stay,and mortality.Conclusion Enteral nutrition via nasogastric tube is safe and well tolerated,may be a safe approach of nutrition treatment for acute pancreatitis.
