Objective To investigate the remission rate of the therapy of integrated TCM into intensive insulin treatment, and the relationship between each factor and the remission rate. The effect of TCM on improving ?-cell fimction and remission rate was also studied. Methods Forty-seven newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were shortly treated with both continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and Chinese medicine. The remission rate was observed. The relationship between each factor and remission was analyzed by logistic regression. The ?-cell function of patients in remission group were evluated at the end of the treatment and during the period of follow-up. Results After treatment of (11.8?2.5)d, BMI and the ratio of the days of blood glucose reaching the standard and the total treatment days were the mainly factors affecting the remission. The remission rate at the end of treatment, one month after treatment and follow-up period (about six month) was 46.8%, 55.3%, 53.3% respectively. In following up, the remission rate in the Chinese medicine group and the control group was 66.7%, 44.4% respectively. Conclusions About half of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients obtain clinical remission after the short-term intensive treatment of integrated insulin and Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine may have positive impaction on remission and extending honeymoon period.

Objective To explore the DSA mainfestations of MoyaMoya disease.Methods 19 patients, underwent CT before DSA, showed intracranial hemorrhage. All patients were then examined by angiography via femoral artery approach. Results All cases were diagnosed as MoyaMoya disease through DSA. The findings of DSA showed characteristic manifestations as the following: 1. Stenosis or occlusion of the invoved arteries. 2. Smoke like capillary vascular network spreading from supraseller cistern to cerebral base. 3. Development of collateral circulation. Conclusions DSA is the main method for the diagnosis of MoyaMoya disease, CT can only localize the site of cerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of thoracoscopic radical resection of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients under laryngeal mask anesthesia. Methods A total of 40 patients with NSCLC from March to August 2016 in NanFang Hospital of Southern Medical University were recruited and divided into two groups,the laryngeal mask anesthesia(n=20)and the intubation anesthesia group(n=20). Patients from two groups were followed up. Post-operativerecovery ,systemic inflammation response and quality of life were assessed. Results There was no significant difference between the laryngeal mask anesthesia and the intubation anesthesia group in the operation time ,the lowest oxygen saturation ,the maximum end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure and the surgical field and the satisfaction of anesthesia and blood loss. Post-operative time to eat ,postoperative use of antibiotics , postoperative hospital stay and drainage time were much shorter in the laryngeal mask anesthesia group ,which also had lowerlevel of white blood cells ,neutrophils and C-reactive protein. Patients with NSCLC undergoing laryngeal mask anesthesia had much higher scores in the quality of life evaluation. Conclusion Thoracoscopic radical resectionunder laryngeal mask anesthesia is safe and feasible for NSCLC patients. It has advantages in reducing the systemic inflammatory response ,accelerating the recovery rate and improving postoperative life quality.

Aim To illustrate the actions and molecular mechanisms of interventions taken to convert the metabolism pathways of cellular apoptosis caused by hypoxia and hypoxia-reperfusion in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes.Methods Angiotensin Ⅱ(0.1 ?mol?L-1)was applied to induce the hypertrophy of mice cardiomyocytes.The cardiomyocytes received the treatment of hypoxia-reperfusion in a tri-gas incubator to simulate the conditions of hypoxia-reperfusion.Before hypoxia/reperfusion,no drug intervention and pre-treatments of DCA(1 mmol?L-1),TMZ(5 ?mol?L-1),LC(50 ?mol?L-1)and AA(10 ?mol?L-1)were given respectively.The glucose and fatty acid oxidative metabolism rates were measured with radioactive counting methods.RT-PCR and Western blot methods were employed respectively to measure the mRNA and protein expression levels of cytochrome C and apoptosis inducers.The spectrophotometry method was used to measure the activity of Caspase-3 and Hoechst 33258 staining to quantify the percentage of cellular apoptosis.Results At post-hypoxia 12 h and post-reperfusion 4 h,the glucose oxidative metabolism rates in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes all decreased while the fatty acid oxidative metabolism rates increased.DCA,TMZ and LC all could inhibit both the reduction of glucose oxidative metabolism after hypoxia-reperfusion and the elevation of fatty acid oxidative metabolism after hypoxia-reperfusion.AA drove the reduction of glucose oxidative metabolism rate even lower and the fatty acid oxidative metabolism rate even higher in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes after ischemia/reperfusion.At the same time,DCA,TMZ and LC could inhibit the expression levels of mitochondrial cytochrome C and AIF mRNA and proteins,the nuclear translocation of cytochrome c and AIF proteins and the activity of caspase-3.And with the opposing actions to AA,DCA,TMZ and LC could inhibit the apoptotic rate of hypertrophic cardiomyocytes after hypoxia-reperfusion.And AA had the opposite effect.Conclusion Intervening in the metabolism pathway of hypertrophic cardiomyocytes was an effective way to prevent and control their programmed death through inhibiting the expression of mitochondrial apoptotic proteins.

Objective:To analyze the influence of clinicopathological features on the prognosis of anorectal malignant melanoma (AMM), and to establish a more accurate prognosis prediction model.Methods:From January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2018, at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, the data of 89 patients diagnosed with AMM and underwent operation were retrospectively analyzed. The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze factors affecting the prognosis. Backward elimination was used to select variables, Nomogram prognosis prediction model was established and verified internally, and the consistency index was calculated.Results:Among 89 AMM patients, 65 (73.0%) were female, 78(87.6%) were <70 years old, and the most common tumor location was the rectum (48.3%, n=43), followed by the anal canal (31.5%, n=28) and the anorectal canal (20.2%, n=18). Thirty-eight (42.7%) patients directly received abdominal-perineal resection (APR), 37 patients (41.6%) received interferon-based immunotherapy, and 11 patients (12.4%) received both systemic chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The 3-year disease-specific survival (DSS) rate was 41.6%(37/89), and the 5-year DSS rate was 31.5%(28/89). The results of multivariate Cox analysis showed that age ≥70 years old and T2 stage were risk factors of the prognosis of AMM patients (hazard ratio ( HR)=11.29, 4.83; 95% confidence interval ( CI) 2.89 to 44.13, 1.66 to 14.11; both P<0.01), while neurovascular invasion, immunotherapy treatment, systemic chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy, APR after extensive local resection, directly APR and APR combined with inguinal lymphadenectomy were protective factors of the prognosis ( HR=0.09, 0.23, 0.10, 0.13, 0.26, 0.02; 95% CI 0.02 to 0.34, 0.10 to 0.57, 0.02 to 0.49, 0.03 to 0.52, 0.08 to 0.90, 0.00 to 0.27; all P<0.05). The Nomogram model was further established with age, gender, tumor location, T stage, distant metastasis, medication chemotherapy and surgical treatment. The results of the Nomogram model internal verification indicated that the accuracy of the model in predicting 1-year, 3-year and 5-year DSS was good, and the consistency index was 0.749, which was significantly higher than the consistency index of traditional TNM stage (0.607). Conclusions:Most AMM patients are <70 years old, and the majority of them are female. The common location of AMM is rectum, and many patients receive immunotherapy. Age ≥70 years old and T2 stage are risk factors affecting the prognosis of AMM patients. Neurovascalar invasion, immunotherapy based comprehensive treatment, APR after extensive local resection, directly APR and APR combined with inguinal lymphadenectomy are protective factors of the prognosis. Nomogram prognosis prediction model established based on the clinicopathological features and treatment of AMM patients has higher accuracy and clinical reference value than the traditional TNM stage system.
