Objective:To study the correlation between plasma concentration and clinical efficacy in newly diagnosed type 2 diabe-tes treated with nateglinide. Methods:On the basis of diet control and exercise, 73 cases of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes received nateglinde therapy for 2 months. Adverse events were routinely monitored during the therapy. Fasting blood glucose(FBG), 2h post-prandial blood glucose(2h-PG), fasting C-peptide(F-CP), 2h C-peptide(P-CP) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were ob-served before and after the treatment. LC-MS was used to determine the plasma concentration of nateglinide on the last day of treat-ment. Results:FBG, 2h-PG, HbAlc and P-CP after the treatment had significant changes when compared with those before the treat-ment (P<0. 05). There was no significant difference in F-CP in spite of minor increase (P>0. 05). The difference in HbA1c and P-CP before and after the treatment both showed a significantly positive correlation with plasma concentration of nateglinide (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Nateglinide displays good clinical efficacy and safety in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, and its plasma concentration can be used to evaluate the pancreatic islets function and glucose-lowing effects.

Objective To assess clinical outcomes of FasT-Fix technique in repair of meniscal injury under arthroscope. Methods A total of 36 cases (37 knees) of mensical tears were repaired with FasF-Fix technique. There were 26 males and 10 females, at mean age of 26 years (14-51 years). Eighteen meniscal tears were located in zone Ⅱ, 16 in zone Ⅲ and 3 in zone Ⅳ. The average length of the tear was 2.2 cm (1.0-3.0 cm). Results There were no any signs of early complications after sur gery. All cases were followed up For 6-26 months (mean 16 months). According to Lysholm scoring scale system ,the average score of operated knees was increased from preoperative 44.13+12.56 to postopera tive 80.24+12.67 (P<0.01). After operation, all the patients could move the knee joint at normal range, except for one case who had a limitation of 20 degree flexion, with no pain or interlocking symptom. All cases returned to original work and/or could continue sports game. Conclusion The FasT-Fix technique is a simple, safe and effective method for repair of properly selected meniscal tears.

Objective:
To define a new subtype of vascular anomaly, named fibro-adipose vascular anomaly(FAVA)and to discuss the methods of diagnosis and treatment in order to decrease the misdiagnosis rate and improve the recovery rate.
Methods:
From Jan. 2011 to Dec. 2015, 34 cases with FAVA on the lower extremities received surgical treatment in our center. The clinical data were collected to summarize the imaging and pathological characteristics for diagnosis.
Results:
The misdiagnosis rate was 76.5%(26/34) in all these 34 patients. The cure rate was 100% after operation. The patients were followed-up for 1-3 years(average, 19 months) with normal function and no recurrence.
Conclusions
FAVA is usually misdiagnosed as hemangioma or vascular malformation. The disease should be well defined to help the diagnosis and treatment. Surgical excision is one of the optional treatments.
9.Developmental mechanism for calcific aortic valve disease
Chinese Journal of Clinical Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 2018;25(2):171-176
Calcific aortic valve disease has been the most common heart valve disorder in western world, accompanying with the increase of morbidity in our country year by year. Several molecules and mechanisms are involved in the progression of aortic valve calcification, which intensify the complexity of this pathological process. It is known that inflammation, a key factor in many diseases, has its own role in the development of aortic valve calcification. It has been demonstrated that inflammation, one of the most important participants in this disorder, which may accelerate the local lesions in aortic valve via promoting the expression of osteogenic differentiation of associated factors or decreasing the level of protective molecules. Dyslipidemia is a traditional risk factor of cardiovascular events. However, it may induce or enhance the inflammatory response whereby facilitates the calcific lesions in aortic valve. Recently, several researches have illustrated that non-coding RNAs, a stimulative factor in the progression of malignant tumor, might play a role in the development of aortic valve calcification. MiRNA and lncRNA, the non-coding RNAs which regulate the expression of genes involved in inflammatory and osteogenic differentiation, are undeniable regulators of aortic valve calcification.

Objective:
To assess the safety and effectiveness of sufficient, short-term platelet (PLT) transfusion for the surgery preparation of the infantile patients with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon, who were insensitive to glucocorticoids.
Methods:
The infantile cases were retrospectively analyzed during May 2011 to December 2016, who were clinically diagnosed as KMP and insensitive to glucocorticoids, received PLT transfusion and surgical resection. PLT transfusion in patients whose PLTC was less than 30×109/L, was 0.3 therapeutic dose(TD)/kg, and 0.2 TD/kg in PLTC≥30×109/L group. The maximum was 1 TD.Criteria of the PLT transrusion: 1 hour after the transfusion, the PLT count (PLTC) were tested and the corrected count increment of platelet (CCI) and practical platelet recovery (PPR) was calculated. PLTC ≥100×109/L, CCI>7.5×109/L and PPR>30% were defined as effective; while PLTC=(50-99)×109/L, CCI>7.5×109/L and PPR>30% as partial effective; PLTC<50×109/L, or CCI≤7.5×109/L, or PPR ≤30% were defined as ineffective. By reviewing the method and response of their PLT infusions, to figure out the most effective way in rising PLT, as a part of pre-operation treatment.
Results:
There were 46 cases in the research. Based on the PLTC, CCI and PPR 1 hour after PLT transfusion, there were 44 effective transfusion, 2 patients with partial effectiveness, and no ineffective case. There was no allergic or heart failure happened in any cases. No critical potential complications of PLT transfusion occurred, including fluid and iron overload, alloimmunization to human leukocyte antigen and/or PLT antigen.
Conclusions
Pre-operative sufficient and short-term PLT infusions are more effective than low dose and long-term ones. They can create a more optimistic opportunity for surgical resections.
