Objective To investigate the characteristic of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients with coronary heart disease (CHD),and provide methods for prevention and treatment for patients who suffered from CHD.Methods The hospitalized patients were divided into three groups.The treatment group contains 46 cases who were T2D with CHD;The control group Ⅰ contains 30 cases who were T2DM without CHD;The control group Ⅱ contains 50 cases who were CHD without T2DM.Their ordinary circumstances were compared;the blood sugar,BP,TC,TG,HDL,LDL,HbA1c,C-P,Ins were measured.Insulin sensitive index(ISI) was calculated.Results Three groups had obvious statistical differences in BP,TC,LDL-C,ISI,HbA1 c.Diabetic patients with CHD have more common with three lesions.Conclusion In the clinical job,the composite observation should be strengthened and treatment because the factors of atherosclerosis in T2DM patients were numerous and complex.

Objective To investigate the effect of recent blood glucose control level of diabetes on prognosis in the patients with general surgery. Methods To analyze the clinical data of 126 diabetic patients with general surgery and the relatiouship among the average hospitalized length,medical cost and the complications of sugery due to glycosylated hemoglobin. Results Comparing with controls, diabetic patients HbA1c＞7.5% had more days longer than those HbA1c＜6.5 % at the time of average in-hospital duration, stitch removing, food-taking and using antibiotics after the operation,Diabetics HbA1c＜6.5 % with cholecystolithiasis, thyroid adenoma had lower surgery cost than those HbA1c＞7.5 %. Conclusion To intensify the control of blood glucose of the patients of limited or selective general surgery as to lower glycosylated hemoglobin＜6.5 % is very important for improving prognosis, and decreasing the complications and medical cost of the operation.

Objective To investigate and analyze the effect and insulin dosage of insulin pump in type 2 diabetes. Methods 63 hospital patients with type 2 diabetes(FPG≥12mmol/L), who had poorly controlled blood glucose, were treated by insulin pump for 14 days, without hypoglycemic agents. The treatment days when blood glucose was well controlled and the insulin dosage at that time were observed. FPG, CBG, HbA1c, FINS/FPG, ISI, Homa-B and Homa-IR were measured before and after insulin pump. Results When blood glucose were well controlled, the mean time was (5.4+1.6) days, the insulin was (0.6+0.2)U/kg, the basal insulin was 38%. The dosage of insulin was decreased after blood glucose were controlled. Reaction of hypoglycemia was (0.6+0.2). After 2 weeks insulin pump intensive treatment, the result of FPG, CBG, HOMA-IR and HbA1c were significantly decreased (all P<0.01); FINS/FPG, HOMA-B and ISI were incleased (all P<0.01). Conclusion The excellent glycemic control and improvement of beta-cell function can be induced by short-term insulin pump intensive therapy in diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients with severe hypoglycemia.

METHODS:Based on PDCA(Plan,Do,Check and Action)cycle management,the modules for adding and dispensing drugs of the automatic system in the outpatient pharmacy were optimized and the work records and quality indexes before (July-September in 2013) and after (May-July in 2014) the optimization were compared. RESULTS:By the optimization of the software system, hardware equipment and staff training,the error rate of adding drugs was reduced by 95%,daily box number of added drugs was increased by 30.9%,monthly box number of drugs damaged by the machine was decreased by 80%,the error rate of dropping drugs was decreased by 96.6%,and the frequency of machine fault was decreased by 87.5%,compared with before. CONCLU-SIONS:By PDCA cycle management,the work efficiency of automatic outpatient pharmacy can be improved,and the errors of prescription dispensing are reduced.

Objective To illustrate the evaluation effect of bivariate analysis of sensitivity and specificity meta-analysis model in diagnosis test to provide basis for selecting better evaluation method of diagnostic test.Methods Bivariate model was presented by reanalyzing the data from a published meta-analysis of two diagnostic techniques in diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica.Results The bivariate model could directly provide summary estimates of(logit)sensitivity,specificity and DOR with corresponding 95% CI for two diagnostic tests(IHA and ELISA).Also,it could elicit any significant difference that existed among sensitivity,specificity and DOR between the two diagnostic methods,and incorporate any correlation that existed between sensitivity;specificity.Conclusion The bivariate model preserves the two dimensional nature of the original data,and separates effects of sensitivity and specificity,which is more rational than a net effect on diagnostic odds ratio scale as in SROC approach.The bivariate model is appropriate and agile,and can be used as an extension and improvement of the traditional SROC method.

Obiective To study the characteristics and the correlation factors of ADR induced by Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole Injection on the purpose of providing reference for clinical rational administration.Methods All ADR cases that induced by Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole Injection reported between January 2006 and August 2009 were retrieved and statistically analyzed.Results Of all 24 ADR patients induced by Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole Injection,the female patients were more than the male,and the senile patients had highest incidence 41.67%.Most ADR events happened within 30min(70.83%).ADR mainly manifested as adverse reactions of skin and appendants(33.33%),followed by central nervous system adverse reaction.Conclusion Great importance should be attached to ADR induced by Ginkgo Leaf Extract and Dipyridamole Injection.Medication monitoring should be enhanced to avoid occurrence of ADR clinically.

Aim Tostudytheeffectsofferulicacid (FA) on doxorubicin (DOX) induced cellular injury inH9c2ratmyocardialcells.Methods H9c2cells were treated with 1μmol·L-1 DOX treated for 24 h to establish a myocardial injury model. 10, 20, 40μmol ·L-1 FA was added 2 h before DOX treatment. Cell viability was measured by cell counter kit ( CCK-8 ) . Morphological changes were observed by phase contrast microscope. LDH, CK, MDA, SOD levels were detec-ted by biochemical kits. Intracellular level of reactive oxygen species ( ROS) was examined by DCF-DA stai-ning with flow cytometry. Cellular apoptosis was detec-ted by AO-EB staining and DNA agarose gel electro-phoresis. The expression of caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2 was evaluatedbyWesternblot.Results Exposureof H9c2 cells to DOX led to decrease in cell viability, in-crease in stress and apoptosis. FA pre-treatment im-proved cell viability in a dose-dependent manner, at-tenuated leakage of LDH and CK, and reversed mor-phological changes induced by DOX. FA suppressed DOX-induced oxidative stress as evidenced by reducing ROS and MDA generation and increasing SOD enzyme activity. FA depressed myocardial apoptosis by down-regulating pro-apoptotic protein caspase-3 and Bax, whereas up-regulating apoptosis inhibitory protein Bcl-2.Conclusions FAhasaprotectiveeffectonDOX-induced injury in H9c2 cells. This protection may re-sult from inhibition of myocardial oxidative stress and apoptosis.

BACKGROUND:Endothelial progenitor cells are recruited into local vascular injury under the injury-induced stimulation, and then differentiate into mature endothelial cells that are thereby involved in angiogenesis and endothelial repair. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether endothelial progenitor cells can al eviate renal injury and improve renal function of ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) rats. METHODS:Peripheral blood samples extracted from Sprague-Dawley rats were used to isolate and culture endothelial progenitor cells using density gradient centrifugation. Twenty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to three groups:I/R group, normal control group, and endothelial progenitor cells group. In the I/R and endothelial progenitor cells groups, the right kidney was removed and the renal artery and vein of the left kidney were occluded for 40 minutes to establish I/R models in the rats, and then endothelial progenitor cells (5×109/L, total y 1 mL) or solvent was transplanted via the artery of the left kidney into the left kidney. In the normal control group, the experimental procedure was same as that in the I/R group except for occlusion of the artery and vein of the left kidney. Renal and blood samples from three groups were col ected at day 1 after operation. Peripheral blood CD34 and vascular endoethelial growth factor receptor 2 expressions were determined using flow cytometry and immunofluorescence methods, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen were tested, and immunohistochemistry observation was used for CD34 observation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal control group, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels were significantly increased, and tubulointerstitial CD34 expression was decreased in the I/R group (P<0.05). Endothelial progenitor cells treatment largely decreased the levels of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen, and increased CD34 expression (P<0.05). These findings indicate that transplantation of endothelial progenitor cells contributes to renal protection in I/R rats.
