Objective To investigate the risk of cardiovascular and other target organs damage in the patients with type 2 di abetes mellitus(T2DM) and different body mass indexes (BMI).Methods One hundred and twenty-six patients with T2DM admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to January 2016were prospectively collected,including 57 cases in the study group (BMI≥25 kg/m2) and 69 cases in the control group (18.5 kg/m2≤BMI<25 kg/m2).The clinical featuresof the two groups were analyzed,and the correlation between BMI and related indexes of target organ damage [carotid arte ry intima media thickness (IMT),arterial stiffness index,coronary heart disease index and glomerular filtration rate] were analyzed.Results There was no statistically significant difference in fasting blood glucose between the two groups (P=0.953),BMI in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P=0.000).When compared with the.control group,the study group showed a significantly increase in age (P=0.038);a significant increase in systolic blood pressure (P=0.000);a significantly increase in diabetic family history (P=0.000);a significant increase in total cholesterol (P=0.012);a significant increase in triglycerides (P=0.000);a significant decrease in high density lipoprotein (P=0.003);a significant increase in HOMA-IR level (P =0.000);a significant decrease in HOMA-β level (P=0.000);a significant increase in IMT level (P=0.000);a significant increasein arterial stiffness index (P=0.000);a significant increase in coronary heart disease index (P:0.001);and a significant decrease in glomerular filtration rate (P=0.000).The Pearson linear correlation analysis showed that BMI was correlated with IMT,atherosclerosis index,coronary heart disease index and glomerular filtration rate,the r values were 0.234,0.257,0.294 and 0.211 respectively(all P=0.000).Conclusion The BMI level in the patients with T2DM is related to cardiovascular and renal function damage.

A dispersive solid phase extraction method combined with reversed phase liquid chromatography was investigated for the determination of benzo ( a ) pyrene ( BaP ) residues in edible oil and oil products. The developed “one-step” sample preparation method integrated with the adsorbent activation, sample extraction and sample cleaning. Using Alumia-N as the adsorbent, good cleaning effect and high recovery ranging from 81. 5% -97. 5% was achieved. In addition, coupled with fluorescence detector (FLD), high sensitivity was obtained with LOD of 1. 0 μg/kg (S/N=3). Furthermore, SPSS was used to design orthogonal optimization experiments and establish the optimal condition. Under the optimized condition, the standard calibration curve was linear over the concentration range of 0. 5-10. 0μg/L, with the regression efficiency (R2) of 0. 9997. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of peak area was between 2. 6%-4. 9%, showing good repeatability and the reliability.

Objective To investigate the CT findings of cardiac rhabdomyoma in childhood. Methods Five children with cardiac rhabdomyoma confirmed by operation was retrospectively analysed. Enhanced electron beam CT (EBCT) was performed in 4 children and enhanced 64-slice helical CT (MSCT) scan was performed in 1 infant. Three dimensional reconstruction was applied for the full display of the lesions based on the transverse section images. Results ( 1 ) Multiple masses or nodules originated from atrioventricular septum were observed in 4 children including 1 nodule from the anterior walls of the left and right ventricles. A mass was derived from the mitral valve in 1 infant (2) The CT value of the lesions after enhancement ranged from 80 to 180 HU and was similar to neighbouring left ventricular myocardium. (3) The ventricular outlet obstruction was found in 3 children including 1 infant with pericardial effusion and pulmonary inflamation of the right lower lobe. Conclusion The rhabdomyoma should be considered first when masses or nodules originated from atrioventricular septum and with the enhancement similar to neigbouring left ventricular myocardium in children.

Objective To investigate the application of CT in the diagnosis of cardiac lipoma.Methods Retrospective analysis of 6 patients with cardiac lipoma confirmed by operation and pathology was done. Four patients had singles slice electron beam CT plain and contrast and movie scan. Two patients had 64-slice CT plain and enhanced scan. Results (1) One patient was isolated intracavitary lipoma in the right artium, 1 patient was isolated intrapericardial lipoma and 4 patients were intramural lipomas. Of the 4 intramural lipoma, 2 were infiltrative lipomas located in the left ventricle wall or the right ventricle and septum, 2 patients were isolated in the atrio-ventricular septums. (2) CT and three-dimensional reconstruction could depict the location, shape, size, margin and characteristic fat density of lipoma,indicating the diagnosis and classifications. The displacement of coronary artery, pulmonary inflammation and effusions of pericardium and pleural cavity could also be revealed. Conclusion Cardiac lipoma can be accurately diagnosed and classified by CT.

Objective To explore the labeling method of rat adipose-derived stromal cells,and observe the stem cell characteristics and the activities of EGFP-positive adipose-derived stromal cells (EGFP-ADSCs) in vitro and in vivo.Methods ADSCs were transfected for 12 h with enhanced green fluorescent protein gene (EGFP) carried by lentivirus(Lv-EGFP) vector at different value of MOI (0,5,10,25,50,100,respectively).The rate of EGFP expression and fluorescence intensity were evaluated by flow cytometric analysis and fluorescence microscopy,and cell viability was detected by MTT-test after transfection.Secondly,cells were exposed either to adipogenic medium or osteogenic medium,then stained with Oil Red O and Alizarin Red S.Cell growth was investigated on frozen longitudinal sections when EGFP-ADSCs were injected into acellular nerves to build tissue-engineered peripheral nerves repairing sciatic nerve defects in rats for 1 week in vivo.Results EGFP-positive rate and fluorescence intensity peak at 4 days after transfection.The rate of EGFP expression was 0.13%,31.09%,75.33%,92.66%,96.70%,98.38% for MOI =0,1,5,25,50,100,respectively.The positive rate between the experimental group and control (MOI =0) existed significantly difference (P < 0.05) ; the difference between MOI =1,5 groups and MOI =25,50,100 groups were also observed (P < 0.05).There was no statistical difference in EGFP-positive rate and cell proliferation activity among MOI =25,50,100 groups (P > 0.05).MOI =25 was chosen as best scheme to transfect ADSCs for subsequent experiments.Osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation for 20 days,orange calcium deposits,orange-red lipid droplets were seen in EGFP-ADSCs after Alizarin red and oil red O staining.At 1 week in vivo,EGFP-ADSCs evenly distributed and became fusiform on frozen longitudinal sections.Conclusion Lv-EGFP transfection does not affect the ADSCs activity and their osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation,so could be as a tracing method for ADSCs-tissue-engineered peripheral nerves repairing nerve defects.

Objective To compare the clinical values of impedance method,optical method and microscopy when used to detect platelet abnormal results.Methods Platelet re-examinations by optical method and microscopy were carried out in case of low confidence degree in platelet test with impedance method by XE-2100 automatic hematology analyzer,and then the results by the three methods were compared.Results Most of the low-confidence-degree results by impedance method could be corrected by re-examination by optical method,and the remained had to turn to microscopy due to unsatisfied requirements of the instrument.Conclusion Optical method has to be involved to correct the platelet abnormal results by XE2100 automatic hematology analyzer,and microscopy should be applied in case optical method doesn't work.The three methods gains advantages and disadvantages of themselves,and can be supplementaries for one another.
