In recent years,there are gradually increasing attentions on diabetic osteoporosis.Diabeticosteoporosis is characterized by insidious onset,high incidence,and risk of disability.Metabolic disorders caused bydiabetes mellitus are related to an imbalance between osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic resorption.Diabetesalters bone mass and increases the risk of fracture.In this review the influence of diabetes on osteoporosis isdiscussed.

AlM: To comprehensively evaluate of visual quality after epipolis laser in situ keratomileusis ( EPl-LASlK) in mild to moderate myopia.METHODS: Sixty cases ( 120 eyes ) undergone EPl-LASlK with equivalent diopter ( SE ) were divided into two groups:mild myopia group (60 eyes) and moderate myopia group ( 60 eyes ) . Objective visual acuity, aberration, contrast sensitivity and glare sensitivity were measured before and 1wk; 1, 6mo after operation, and made comparative analysis. RESULTS: Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) of two groups were better than that of preoperative(P<0. 05). Postoperative 6mo, there were significant differences on total high RMS between two groups ( P < 0. 05 ). Before operation and 6mo after operation, higher - order aberrations had statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0. 05). After 1wk and 1mo, there were statistical significances at the five frequencies between two groups (P<0. 05). After 6mo, the mild myopia group returned to preoperative levels, however, moderate myopia group in the high frequency region ( 18. 0c/d ) had significant difference with before surgery (P<0. 05). 1wk after surgery, there were statistically significant differences on the 3. 0, 6. 0, 12.0, 18. 0c/d frequency in both groups (all P<0. 05), 1mo after surgery, there were significant difference at 12.0, 18.0c/d frequencies (all P<0.05), after 6mo, both groups returned to preoperative levels, showed no significant difference.CONCLUSlON:Visual quality is poorer in mild myopia patients than that in moderate myopia at early stage after EPl-LASlK. Better visual quality is observed at mid-late stage.

Objective To explore the preventive and therapeutic effects of diminazene (DIZE) on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in rats.Methods Left pulmonary lobectomy combined with injection of monocrotaline was used to establish a rat model of pulmonary arterial hypertension.One hundred adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank control group (group A,n=20),DIZE control group (group B,n=20),PAH model group (group C,n=20),PAH model plus DIZE group (group D,n=20) and PAH model plus DIZE and C-16 group (group E,n=20).Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2),IL-6 and IL-8 levels were determined by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) and right ventricular hypertrophy index (RVHI) were measured.The wall thickness (WT) and intimal hyperplasia score were calculated,and the pulmonary vascular lesions were analyzed using elastic fiber staining.Results RVHI,ACE2 enzyme activity and WT in the group A were significantly different from those of the groups C,D and E (P<0.05).Those of the group D and E were significantly different (P<0.05).The five groups showed significant differences in the overall analysis of each index (P<0.05).Conclusions Diminazene can increase the ACE2 enzyme activity,and decrease the mPAP,RVHI and WT,while reducing the pulmonary arterial medial hypertrophy,and inhibit intimal hyperplasia of pulmonary arterioles.The results of this study provide an experimental basis for the use of diminazene in the treatment of human pulmonary hypertension.

Objective To study the effect of epigallocatechin-3 gallate (EGCG) on cholesterol efflux in foam cells and its mechanism.Methods THP-1 cells were induced to differentiate into macrophages which were then transformed to foam cells.Foam cells were divided into 0 μmol/L EGCG group,10 μmol/L EGCG group,30 μmol/L EGCG group,and 100 μmol/L EGCG group (1.5 × 106 in each group).Their cholesterol content was measured with a cholesterol test kit,apoA-I-mediated cholesterol efflux was assayed with a liquid scintillation counter,expression of ATP-binding cassette A1 (ABCA1) was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively.Results The ABCA1 mRNA and protein expression levels and cholesterol efflux were significantly higher while the cholesterol content was significantly lower in 10 μmol/L EGCG group,30 μmol/L EGCG group,and 100 μmol/L EGCG group than in 0 μmol/L EGCG group (7.04％ ±0.21％,7.75％±0.17％ and 8.53％±0.18％ vs 3.37％±0.16％,P＜0.01;419.33±19.75 mg/g,352.58± 14.23 mg/g and 312.62±17.45 mg/g vs 520.51 ±20.62 mg/g,P＜0.01),and in 30 μmol/L EGCG group,100μmol/L EGCG group than in 10μmol/L EGCG group (P＜0.05).Conclusion EGCG increases cholesterol efflux and decreases cholesterol content in foam cells by upregulating the transcription and expression of ABCA1.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of adverse drug reaction (ADR) induced by Brucea Jananica Oil Injection,through literature review and to provide theoretical support for rational use in clinic.Methods With retrospective case study,analyzed ADR induced by Brucea Jananica Oil Injection,which were searched from revelent domestic pharmaceutical database from January 1990 to September 2016.Results Totaliy 76 cases were collected,and most were middle-aged and aged patients.Males patients were more than female patients (61.84％).ADR appeared in every period.The main ADRs of Brucea Jananica Oil Injection were allergic reactions (27.71％),digestive system damage (26.51％),and skin and accessories damage (19.28％).Conclusion Brucea Jananica Oil Injection can induced various ADRs and the occurrence of ADRs was associated with a variety of factors.Clinical monitoring should be enhanced,so as to ensure safety and efficacy of medication.

Objective To analyze the curative effects of total knee arthroplasty(TKA)for severe genu varus combined with flexion deformity.Methods The clinical data of 25 patients(36 knees),who had undergone TKA for severe genu varus combined with flexion deformity from January 2005 to October 2010,were retrospectively analyzed.There were 7 males and 18 females,aged from 55 to 80 years(average 70.5 years).The primary diseases were osteoarthritis in 22 cases and rheumatoid arthritis in 3 cases.HSS knee score was used before and after the operation to assess the efficacy of the TKA.Results All of the patients were followed up for 4 to 9 years(average 6 years).The degree of flexion deformity was reduced from (21 ±63)°to(1.1 ±2.3)°;the degree of the varus decreased from(210 ±4.8)°to(175.6 ±2.1)°;range of motion of the knee joint increased from(70.5 ±20.5)°to(115.1 ±5.3)°;knee score augmen-ted from(33.2 ±10.5)to(90.7 ±8.5);function score added from(35.5 ±14.2)to(85.6 ±10.5);there were 21 cases(8 knees)rated as excellent,2(3 knees)as good and 2(3 knees)as fair,and the excel-lent and good rate was 86%.Most of the patients had normal force line of the knee joint,but 2 patients re-mained varus deformity of 5°~10°.Conclusion Satisfying outcome can be achieved by TKA in treating severe genu varus combined with flexion deformity of the knee.

Objective To study the correlation between the blood selenium level and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)with the occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).Methods Among 1 360 pregnant women in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2012,68 cases GDM were diagnosed as GDM (observation group)and other 113 non-GDM pregnant women were ran-domly selected from these 1360 pregnant women as the control group.The serum selenium level and GSH-Px activity were com-pared between the two groups.Results The selenium level and GSH-Px activity in the control group were higher than those in the observation group.The selenium level was (3.07±0.51)mmol/L in the control group and (2.06±0.41)mmol/L in the observa-tion group,respectively;the GSH-Px activity was (197.23±18.73)U in the control group and (151.35±19.67)U in the observa-tion group,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P <0.05).Conclusion The decrease of serum se-lenium level and GSH-Px activity may be one of the pathogenic causes of GDM.

The nerve tissue engineering is to apply scalfolds and seed cells for the treatment of injury or disease of nerve system by restoring their anatomic structures and funetiorm.The scaffolds played important roles in supporting and conducting axonal regeneration.They could also limit the in-growth of scar tissue and hence help to build the connection between axonal and target cell.Self-assembling peptide scaffold is one of the excellent material used is nerve tissue engineering.This article reviews the self-assembling peptide based scaffolds for nerve tissue engineering and discusses the unsolved problems in the fields and the trend d the related research in the future.
