Objective To evaluate the efficacy of different doses of ulinastatin for prevention of insulin resistance in the patients undergoing partial hepatectomy.Methods Sixty patients of both sexes,aged 33-71 yr,weighing 44-70 kg,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for electivepartial hepatectomy,were randomly assigned into 3 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),low dose of ulinastatin group (group UL) and high dose of ulinastatin group (group UH).Before induction of anesthesia and at the beginning of operation,ulinastatin 2 500 U/kg and 5 000 U/kg (in 20 ml of normal saline) were injected intravenously in UL and UH groups,respectively.The equal volume of normalsaline was given instead of ulinastatin in group C.Before skin incision,before removal of the liver,after removal of the liver,and after closure of the abdominal cavity,blood samples were taken from the right internal jugular vein for determination of plasma glucose,insulin and glucagon concentrations.Insulin sensitivity index was calculated.Results Compared with group C,insulin sensitivity index was significantly increased,and the plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were decreased in UL and UH groups.Conclusion Ulinastatin 2 500 U/kg injected intravenously before induction of anesthesia and at beginning of operation can effectively prevent insulin resistance in the patients undergoing partial hepatectomy.

Objective To discuss the correlations between hemoperfusion(HP) times and therapeutic effects/prognosis in patients with severe acute organophosphorus poisoning(AOPP). Methods According to the frequency of HP,82 patients with severe AOPP were divided into three groups:non HP(25 cases),HP1(27 cases) and HP2(30 cases)groups. The non HP group received only routine treatment,on the basis of routine treatment,the HP1 group accepted once HP within 12 hours after poisoning and the HP2 group underwent twice or more times of HP,the interval between each time being 24 hours. The comparisions of clinical indexes,incidences of complications and rates of mortality among the three groups were performed. Results With the increase of HP times,the dosages of atropine and pralidoxime chloride were significantly reduced,the times of serum cholinesterase(ChE)activity recovery,consciousness recovery,hospitalization and mechanical ventilation were significantly shortened,the score of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)score in 48 hours after admission,incidence of complications and mortality were evidently decreased(all P<0.05). Compared with those in HP1 group,the dosages of atropine(mg:164.57±68.82 vs. 256.81±97.06)and pralidoxime chloride(mg:6.95±1.40 vs. 8.76±1.64) in HP2 group were significantly reduced,the times of ChE activity recovery(day:9.03±2.46 vs. 10.96±3.44), consciousness recovery(hour:23.83±6.29 vs. 39.93±8.24),hospitalization(hour:9.57±2.39 vs. 11.52±3.02) and mechanical ventilation(hour:40.50±16.55 vs. 65.74±18.88)in HP2 group were significantly shortened;APACHEⅡscore during 48 hours after admission(11.97±3.47 vs. 14.26±2.88)was obviously decreased,and the incidences of complications,such as intermediate syndrome(10.0% vs. 18.5%),rebound phenomenon(3.3% vs. 25.9%),arrhythmia(13.3%vs. 44.4%),multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS,6.7%vs. 29.6%)and mortality rate(6.7% vs. 18.5%)in HP2 group were markedly decreased(all P<0.05). Conclusion It is recommendable that combined with routine treatment,early and multiple HP application would enhance the therapeutic effect and decrease the mortality in patients with severe AOPP.

OBJECTIVETo observe the prevention and clinical efficacy of combination of Liuwei Dihuang Pill (LDP) and Ginkgo Leaf Tablet (GLT) for early diabetic retinopathy (DR).

METHODSUsing randomized, double-blind, double simulation, parallel controlled clinical trial, 140 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) outpatients were recruited and assigned to the treatment group and the control group, 70 in each group. All patients received basic Western medicine treatment (such as blood glucose and pressure control). Patients in the treatment group took LDP (8 pills each time, 3 times per day) and GLT (19.2 mg each time, 3 times per day), while those in the control group took LDP placebos and GLT placebos. All treatment lasted for 24 consecutive months. All subjects were followed-up every month. The general clinical data as sex, age, and metabolic data such as blood glucose, blood pressure, blood lipid, and DR prevalence rate were collected and statistically analyzed.

RESULTSThere was no significant difference in levels of blood glucose, blood pressure, or blood lipid between the two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment the DR incidence rate was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group [3.1% (2/64) vs 18.6% (11/59), P < 0.05)]. Meanwhile, the DR prevalence rate of the treatment group was also significantly lower than that of the control group [6.3% (4/64) vs 20.0% (13/59), P < 0.05].

CONCLUSIONCombination of LDP and GLT could effectively prevent and treat the development of DR in T2DM patients.

Background and purpose:Cancer-related pain is one of the most important symptoms of patients with advanced cancer. Chemotherapy sometimes induces peripheral neuropathy and pain. These symptoms seriously affect patients’ quality of life. Cancer pain assessment is now achieved by the subjective scales of patients, but lacking objective measurement. In this study, we used the neurotic electrophysiological method by way of PainVision system (PV system) to evaluate cancer pain quantitatively to detect and analyze degree of chemotherapy-induced neuropathy. Methods:We obtained numerical rating scale (NRS) scores from patients receiving analgesics and calculated the PainRatio from PV system at the same time. Then we analyzed the relationship between NRS and PainRatio scores. We detected current perception threshold (CPT) levels of patients receiving chemotherapy to ifnd the correlation between chemotherapy and CPT level, and attempt to evaluate chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.Results:PainRatio scores were linearly associated with NRS scores (Pearson correlation coeffcient=0.849,P<0.001). Patients with neuropathy symptoms got higher CPTs. However, no statistically signiifcant difference was observed between patients treated with oxaliplatin, paclitaxel and other agents.Conclusion:PainVision system can be used in cancer pain assessment quan-titatively, and be helpful in cancer pain assessment objectively. Patients with deifned neuropathy showed higher CPTs, indicating the potential clinical value of PV system in detecting and evaluating chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism (677C→T) of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and Alzheimer′s disease(AD) in south China Han people. Methods By applying polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), MTHFR 677C→T mutation was detected in 45 AD patients and 48 healthy controls. Results The frequency of MTHFR 677C→T mutation of patients showed no significant difference to that of healthy controls (P > 0.05). There is no statistic significance between AD group and controls in C, T gene frequency(P>0.05). But T gene frequency is higher in AD group than in control group. Conclusion MTHFR C 677T is not the pathogenic factor for AD, but could have some effects on AD.
