Objective To investigate the plasma PAF-AH level in type 1 diabetes patients and the association between the PAF-AH gene polymorphism and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Methods Plasma PAF-AH in115 type 1 diabetes patients and 106 controls were determined by PAF-AH assay kit, and PAF-AH gene G275A genotypes were detected by PCR-RLFP. Results The activity of plasma PAF-AH in the patients with type 1 diabetes was significantly lower than that in the controls. Compared with control group, the frequencies of the GA genotype on G275A polymorphism were significantly higher than that in T1DM group. Conclusion The activity of plasma PAF-AH in the patients with type 1 diabetes was significantly lower than that in normal controls. The G275A polymorphism of PAF-AH gene might be related to type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Objective To study Evaluation of serum soluble ST2 protein and brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)in patients with acute heart failure and prognosis of patients with acute heart failure.Methods Fifty cases patients with acute heart failure from April 2014 to April 2015 in the First Hospital of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of Beijing were researched.Detection of all patients with serum ST2,NT-proBNP,50 patients with acute heart failure were divided into heart failure group,50 healthy persons were selected as the control group.The control group and the observation group general heart failure data,the observation group and the control group of cardiac biomarker blood level,cardiac function level NT-proBNP blood concentration level,classification of cardiac function between ST2 blood concentration level were compared.Results Cr,BUN of heart failure group were higher than the control group,there was no significant difference between other indicators(P＞0.05).ST2((0.46±0.07)ng/L)in heart failure group was lower than the control group((0.66±0.20)ng/L),NT-proBNP((4160.20±57.49)ng/L)was higher than the control group((58.97±4.39)ng/L),heart function IV NT-proBNP blood concentration of the highest(9 428.29±75.93)ng/L,followed by grade III(1 921.01±30.27)ng/L,the second lowest(321.02±16.80)ng/L,(P＜0.01).Heart function IV level ST2 blood concentration was the highest(1.95±0.69)ng/L,followed by grade III(1.27±0.61)ng/L,class II minimum(0.78±0.24)ng/L(P＜0.01).Conclusion The serum ST2 and NT-proBNP are used to detect the patients with acute heart failure,can provide accurate diagnosis basis,has a very important value judgment on the classification and prognosis.

Objective:To develop the attitudes toward gay men and lesbians in Chinese context.Methods:Based on the sex differences in homosexual researches and the three factors of attitude,the initial Scale included two subscales of gay men and lesbians,and selected items from cognition,emotion and behavior;used the initial scale firstly to test 353 college students,then selected items through 4 methods;secondly,investigated 404 college students and 533 community residents with the ultimate scale in order to assess it in reliability and validity,10 days after the first testing session,193 students were re-tested.Results:Developed the attitudes toward lesbians and gay men scale of 20 items;the test-retest coefficients of total-scale was 0.959,the Cronbach's ? coefficient of the total-scale was 0.898,the split-half reliability was 0.912.Factor Analysis indicated there were three components in the scale including moral judgement,emotional reaction,and social communication.Conclusion:The attitudes toward lesbians and gay men scale has a high reliability and a good validity and can be used in researches of the public Attitudes toward homosexual.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of atorvastatin combined with valsartan on efficacy,safety and related indi-cators in patients with chronic nephritis. METHODS:86 patients with chronic nephritis were randomly divided into control group (43 cases)and observation group(43 cases). All patients were given low-salt,low-protein and high-quality diet with protein intake of 0.8 g/(kg·d),appropriately given Cyclophosphamide tablet,Prednisone tablet,Penicillin V potassium tablet and other conven-tional treatment. Based on it,control group was given 160 mg valsartan,once a day in early morning. Observation group was addi-tionally given 20 mg atorvastatin,once a day before bedtime. They were treated for 6 months. Clinical efficacy,24 h protein amount (24 h pro),serum creatinine (Scr),blood urea nitrogen (BUN),glomerular filtration rate (GFR),C-reactive protein (CRP),total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG ),low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) in 2 groups were observed,and incidence of adverse reactions was followed-up for 9 months. RESULTS:The total effective rate in ob-servation group was significantly higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in 24 h pro,Scr,BUN,GFR,CRP,TC,TG,LDL and HDL between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,24 h pro,Scr,BUN and CRP in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,GFR was significantly higher than before,and observation group was higher than control group,the differenc-es were statistically significant(P<0.05). TC and LDL in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,HDL was higher than be-fore,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);but there were no significant differences in the TG between 2 groups and before and after treatment(P>0.05). And there was no significant differences in the incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on the conventional treatment,the efficacy of atorvastatin combined with valsartan is superior to valsartan alone in the treatment of chronic nephritis,and it can significantly improve renal functions,with similar short-term safety.

[Summary] Gender difference study of meniscus injury shows certain clinical significance in understanding epidemiologic characteristics of meniscus injury .Several large amount case studies demonstrated that the risk of meniscus tears was significantly higher in male than in female .However , in certain kinds of sports and special types or locations of meniscus tears , especially in medial meniscus posterior root tear ( MMPRT ) , there were more females than males .Further large amount case studies were needed for a deeper understanding of meniscus tears .In this paper,we reviewed the current situation and progress of gender difference of menisus tear .

Objective To observe the effect of ShenQi Wuweizi Tablet (Tablet composed of pilose asiabell root, astragalus root, and schisandra fruit) on anxiety before college entrance examination.Methods Totally 227 patients were randomized into a treatment group (113 cases, treated with Shenqi Wuweizi Tablet, 3 tablets each time and 3 time a day), and a control group (114 cases, treated with alprazolam, 0.4 mg each time and 3 times a day). The treatment course was 6 weeks for both groups. Before treatment and at the end of the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th week of treatment, the clinical effect was assessed with Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Clinical Global Impression (CGI), and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). And at the same time, the untoward reactions was also observed.Results At the end of the 1st week of treatment, the HAMA score was significantly decreased in the control group (P

Sepsis refers to the infection caused by systemic inflammatory response syndrome.Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death in critically ill patients in the ICU and its morbidity and mortality are increasing year by year globally.According to statistics,in China,the incidence of sepsis in ICU is 8.68％ and the mortality rate can be as high as 44.7％,therefore,severe sepsis in the field of medicine to become one of the problems to be overcome.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the pathogenesis of sepsis through the TLRs / NF-κB signaling pathways,which play an important role in immune regulation.In this review,the progress of miRNAs involved in TLRs signaling pathway in sepsis is reviewed.
