Objective To explore the changes of the diurnal rhythm of cortisol secretion and insulin resistance of the type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) patients with depression.Methods The 216 cases outpatient and inpatientof Department of Endocrinology of the Second People's Hospital Changshou, Clinical Psychology of City Mental Health Center of Changshou ,were divided into depression without T2DM group(D group,44 cases), T2DM without depression group(DM group, 124 cases) and the T2DM with depression group(DM-D group,48 cases).And 40 healthy people were from the medical center and as the normal control(NC) group.The levels of fasting blood glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), Fins, fasting C peptide (FC-P), rhythm in cortisol(Cor) secretion at 3 time points (8:00, 16:00,24:00) and plasma adrenocorticotropin(ACTH) were detected for studies.Results Compared with the D group, DM group and NC group, there were increases of FPG,HbA1c,insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) in the DM-D group ((11.51 ±2.05) vs.(5.18 ±0.22), (9.47±3.46), (5.11±0.25) mmol/L;(10.28±2.12)％ vs.(5.36±0.34)％, (8.89±2.21)％, (5.53 ±0.32) ％;3.78± 1.08 vs.1.58 ± 0.21,2.70 ± 1.54, 1.14 ± 0.24).Plasma cortisol levels and ACTH levels at time points of 8:00,16:00 in the DM-D group were higher than the group D, DM group and NC group, while insulin sensitivity index(ISI) in the DM-D group was lower than the D group,DM group and NC group (-4.41 ±0.27 vs.-3.57±0.13,-3.92±0.60,-3.22±0.22) ,and the differences were significant (P＜0.05).The loss of normal diurnal rhythm of cortisol secretion were significantly more often inDM-D group than in D group and in DM group(77.1％ vs.50.0％ ,47.6％ ,P＜0.05).The multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that 8:00 Cor and ISI were the related factors for the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) score(95％CI:2.355-3.867, -7.903-2.780,P＜0.001).Logistic regression analysis showed that the level of 8:00 Cor was significant risk factor of the T2DM patients with depression(OR=3.024,95％CI: 1.613-5.668,P=0.002).Conclusion The T2DM patients with depression have higher plasma cortisol level, more abnormal rhythm of cortisol secretion and higher level of insulin resistance.The high level of plasma corfisol maybe significantly related to depression in T2DM patients.

Objective To investigate the relation of synovial anti-citrullinated epitope peptide(CCP)expression and peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PADI4)gene in the rheumatoid arthritis patient.Methods From February 2013 to 2015 in Dongfeng General Hospital Affiliated to Hubei University,selected 110 patients with rheumatoid arthritis as the observation group, and selected 110 healthy people at the same period in this hospital for medical examination as the control group,both groups were given the synovial CCP expression positive rate and PADI4 gene expression detecting and correlation analysis.Results The synovial anti-CCP expression positive rates in the observation group and the control group were 70.9% and 9.1% re-spectively,and the observation group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05).The PADI4-104 genotype expression frequency compared between the observation group and control group,the difference were statistically significant (P<0.05).The G/G expression was more in the observation group,while the control group was more wit the C/G expres-sion.Pearson correlation analysis showed that in the observation group,synovial CCP positive expression were significant correlated to the expression of genotype PADI4-104 (r=0.344,P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed PADI4-104 genotype frequency were the main factors for the synovial CCP epitope expression (P<0.05).Conclusion The rheumatoid arthritis was more with synovial anti-CCP positive expression.There were also PADI4 polymorphism disorder expression, and clear correlation between the two.Thus impact the incidence of rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective To analysis the effect of high dose metformin on serum HE4, LPA and regulatory T cells in patients with ovarian cancer.Methods 80 cases of unilateral ovarian cancer patients were given surgery and conventional chemotherapy ,were divided into four groups according to single metformin dose: (group A:0.25g each time, B group:0.25g each time, group C:0.25g each time; group D: conventional treatment only) and three times a day oral administration of metformin and two weeks in a row , before and after the treatment of detection each serum HE4, LPA, transformation growth factor beta 1 (TGF -beta 1), interleukin -10 (IL-10) content, and CD4 +CD25 +CD127 regulating T cell percentage.ResuIts Compared with B, C, and D group, the efficacy of patients in group A was better, as follows: Serum HE4 content decreased significantly ( P<0.05 ); serum LPA content decreased significantly ( P<0.05 ); blood CD4 +CD25 +CD127 regulatory T cell percentage decreased significantly ( P<0.05 ); serum TGF beta 1, IL-10 content decreased significantly ( P<0.05 ) .The results were statistically significant .ConcIusion High dose of metformin can reduce serum HE4 , LPA content, reduce the adjusting the percentage of T cells and related cytokines in patients with ovarian cancer , and play a positive role in inhibit cancer cell proliferation and invasion .

A description of the implementation strategy and methodology of clinical medicine as a discipline in terms of building clinical technology features, making scientific research centering on clinical questions, building technical and academic branding, and building discipline bases.Authors also emphasized human resource cultivation, and held that the clinical discipline development should be carried out by means of organization and culture management for the discipline.

Objective To investigate the value of bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) and the kidney shear wave velocity (SWV) in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic nephropathy.Methods 150 cases of patients with diabetic mellitus were divided into three groups according to 24h urinary albumin excretion (Ualb):normalbuminuria (NA) group,microalbuminuria (MA) group and clinical proteinuria (CA) group;50 healthy subjects were selected as the control group (NC).The levels of blood BMP-7 were detected and the virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) was used to detect renal SWV in four groups.Both the BMP-7 level and the renal parenchyma SWV were compared among four groups.Then correlation analysis was made between blood of BMP-7 level and renal SWV in diabetic nephropathy groups.Results Blood BMP-7 level:the lowest was CA group,the middle one was MA group,and the highest was NA group (P ＜0.05),the NC group and the NA group had no significant difference (P ＞0.05); SWV measured values:CA group was the highest,MA group was middle one and the NA group was the lowest (P ＜ 0.05),the difference between NC group and the NA group was not significant statistically (P ＞0.05).The blood levels of BMP-7 and renal SWV had a significant negative correlation (r =-0.612,P ＜0.05).Conclusions The blood BMP-7 levels downregulate with the progressing of diabetic nephropathy,but the renal SWV increases with the diabetic nephropathy deterioration,and may indirectly reflects blood BMP-7 levels.Both of them have important application values in the diagnosis or treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

To analyze the composition regularity of Carthami Flos-containing prescriptions of the Drug Standards of Ministry of Health of People's Republic of China-Traditional Chinese Medicine Preparations (the ministerial standards for Traditional Chinese Medicine) based on the traditional Chinese medicine inheritance support system (TCMISS, RZDZ No. 0389952). Efforts were made to identify 331 prescriptions containing Carthami Flos and summarize 16 attending functions and 10 commonly used drug combinations. Three commonly used drug combinations were selected for an in-depth analysis on Carthami Flos's combined administration regularity. Based on Carthami Flos's attending functions, its effects in paralysis, traumatic injuries and dysmenorrheal were compared to analyze Carthami Flos's core drug combinations for treating different diseases. The regularity of clinical administration and the characteristics of commonly used drug combinations were summarized to provide reference for Carthami Flos's clinical application and new ideas for new drug R&D. Carthami Flos prescriptions was mainly used to treat blood stasis and pain and mostly combined with drugs that could activate blood, promote the circulation of qi and dispel pathogenic wind to treat Qi-stagnation and blood stasis caused by various pathogenic factors such as wind, cold and dampness.
