Objective To investigate the cut-off point value of 1-hour plasma glucose of oral glucose tolerance test in the diagnosis of the T2DM and IGR.Methods Three hundred and fifty-four subjects (6.0mmol/L≤ FPG ＜ 7.0mmol/L) were participated in the OGTT.To get the cut-off point value of 1-hour plasma glucose in the diagnosis of the T2DM and IGR by applying the receiver operator characteristic curve,and compare it with the WHO diagnostic criteria.Results (1)The cut-off point value of screening T2DM by ROC curve was 12.90mmol / L,whose specificity was 77.1％ and sensitivity was 90％.Meanwhile the cut-off point value of screening IGR was 10.83mmol / L,whose specificity was 73.2％,and the sensitivity was 73.5％.(2)Among the 136 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus that diagnosed by WHO criteria,115 patients could be diagnosed by 1hPG that more than FPG which could diagnose 81 patients.And the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile,It was more than 106 patients that diagnosed by 2hPG,but there was no statistically significant.According to the diagnostic criteria of 2hPG ≥11.1mmol/L,there were 106 cases of T2DM.Among these patients,95 cases and 51 cases could be diagnosed respectively by 1 hPG and FPG,and there was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).(3)Application of the cut-off point of 1 hPG,NGT,IFG,CGI and DM re-grouped.FPG,2hPG increased gradually in order to NGT,IGR,DM.(4) No matter the blood glucose levels,1hPG and 2hPG had good correlation,(P =0.000).A significant correlation could be found between FPG and 2hPG only in hyperglycemia.The correlations between 1 hPG and FPG disappeared only in a normal level of blood glucose.Conclusion The cutoff point value of 1hPG is 12.90mmol/L which has advantage to diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus.It is a useful complement to the WHO Diagnostic criteria.

Objective Production of autotoxin protein in sf9 insect cells with biological activity. Methods Autotaxin cDNA was cloned into pFastBacTMHTA from melanoma cell by extraction of total RNA using TRIzol method and RT-PCR. Bacmid-ATX is isolated from transformed competent bacterial DH10 which carries Bac genomic sequences and transfected into sf9 using lipofectamine 2000. Recombinant ATX virus was amplified in sf9 and further used for infection and expression of ATX protein. Two step purification product using HistrapTMHP and Hiload 16/600 Suerdex 200pg was determined for lysophospholipase D (lysoPLD) activity. Results Correct insertion of PCR fragment is confirmed by BamH I/Xho I digestion and sequencing. ATX virus can infect sf9 and induced enzymatic activity. Column purification and SDS-PAGE resulted 95% in purity and 6mg/liter in yield with significant lysoPLD activity. Conclusion ATX Baculovirus was successfully constructed that can infect sf9 cells and express active lysoPLD. Production of active ATX can be used for crystalography studies and screening for small pharmaceutical inhibitors.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the preparation technology of Sinomenine topical paste. METHODS:Using“initial vis-cous force”,“holding viscous force”and“peeling strength”as index,heating and stirring time (A,h),heating temperature (B,℃) and the sequence of adding composition (softening agent,blank matrix and sinomenine)(C) as influential factors,the preparation technology of Sinomenine topical paste was optimized by orthogonal test and verified. At the same time,the content of sinomenine was determined by HPLC method. RESULTS:The optimal preparation technology of Sinomenine topical pasta was as follows as adding blank matrix and sinomenine,and then adding softening agent,heating at 80 ℃,stirring for 1 h. In verification test,RSD of comprehensive score for 3 batches of samples were 2.09%(n=3);average contents of samples were 6.7 mg/g, which was in line with the requirement of ≥6.0 mg/g. CONCLUSIONS:The optimal preparation technology of Sinomenine topical pasta is reasonable,stable and feasible. The paste shows good adhesiveness and is qualified in content.

OBJECTIVETo study the intestinal absorption mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine monomer syringopicroside in rats.

METHODThe in situ rat single-pass intestinal perfusion model was established to detect the concentration of syringopicroside by HPLC. The absorption at different intestine segments in rat and the influence of concentration, pH and P-glycoprotein inhibitors of the drug solution on the absorption of syringopicroside were also observed.

RESULTThe absorption rate constant (K,) of syringopicroside at duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and colon were 0.00255, 0.00630, 0.00900, 0.00799 min- , respectively; Ka from intestine at syringopicroside concentration of 0.090, 0.180, 0.360 g x L(-1) were 0.00370, 0.00708, 0.00694 min(-1), respectively; and Ka at pH of 7.4, 6.8 and 5.0 were 0.00733, 0.00747, 0.00362 min(-1), respectively. P-glycoprotein inhibitor on the intestinal absorption of syringopicroside showed significant influence (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSyringopicroside is well absorbed at the lower small intestine. When the drug concentration is low, the absorption rate constant is low, where as Ka increases at medium and high concentrations; the Ka is low at pH 5.0 and increases at pH 6.8 and pH 7.4. Syringopicroside is proved to be a substrate of P-glycoprotein.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the influence of intraoperative implantation of radioactive (125)I seeds on healing of surgical anastomosis.

METHODSThe jejunum was cut, and end-to-end anastomosis was made in 12 healthy dogs. In the experimental group (n = 8), the (125)I seeds were implanted into the two sides of the anastomosis. The total radiation dosage at the anastomosis was 116 Gy. The other 4 dogs were in the included control group. At the 7th, 14th postoperative day, specimens were obtained from 4 dogs in the experimental group and 2 dogs in the control group respectively. The healing of the anastomosis was observed grossly; hydroxyproline content, as well as histopathological and ultrastructural changes of the anastomotic tissue were studied.

RESULTSGross observation showed healing of the anastomosis of the experimental animals. The hydroxyproline contents were 0.578 +/- 0.020 microg/mg proteins in the experimental group and 0.631 +/- 0.012 microg/mg proteins in the control group (P > 0.05). Histopathological and ultrastructural changes of the anastomotic tissue were not significant in healing as compared to the control group. One of 29 patients had anastomotic leakage.

CONCLUSIONSIntraoperative implantation of (125)I has no adverse effect on healing of surgical anastomosis; it is safe and feasible in clinical practice.
