Serum vitamin A, beta-carntene and lgG, IgA, IgM and T-lymphocyte Mastogenesis were measured in lung cancer patients, nonmalignant lung, disease and healthy controls matched lor age, sex and smoking. Mean serum vitamin A of lung cancer (except 5 adenocarcinoma) was significantly lower than that of healthy controls and non-malignant lung disease. Beta-caroiene levels were within the normal range, but mean serum beta-carotene concentration oi lung cancer patients was 24.7% lower, IgA of lung career and non-malignant lung disease patients was significantly higher, IgM and the rate of T-lymphocy te, blastogenesis of patients with lung cancer were lower than that of healthy controls, respectively. Serum IgG was not significant in 3 groups. An inverse relation, between serum vitamin A and IgM of hcalthy controls and arelation between serum vitamin A and IgG of lung cancer patients were observed. These data demonstrate an influence of vitamin A on immune function in lung cancer patients.

This study is conducted to evaluate the protein quality of the spray-dried goat's milk powder made from milk of Qingdao's Laoshan dairy goats. Chemical analysis and rat experiment are included in the study with spray-dried powdered cow's milk and isolated soy protein as comparative substances and chemical pure casein as reference protein.The content of crude protein in the powdered goat's milk is 26.01% and the protein's limitting amino acid is sulphur containing amino acids with the AAS and CS being 0.91 and 0.52 respectively, similar to those of cow's milk protein. The percentage of EAA and the EAA index are 49.1% and 96.96%, as high as those of cow's milk. The results of the rat experiment designed according to AOAC showed that the PER, NPR, AD, TD, BV, NPU of the protein are 3.01, 4.62, 90.49%, 96.75%, 86.02 and 83.22% respectively. Except that the AD of goat's milk protein is slightly higher than that of cow's milk protein, there is no significant difference between two milk proteins on other nutritional parameters. The present study gives the conclusion that the protein of powdered goat's milk is at least as nutritious as that of powdered cow's milk, but more nutritious than chemical pure casein and far more nutritious than isolated soy protein.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of position change and pneumoperitoneum pressure on the respiratory system of patients undergoing DaVinci assisted laparoscopic prostate cancer surgery.Methods:Peak airway pressure, lung compliance and airway resistance were recorded by ventilator as the basic values to evaluate the change of respiratory function. When the artificial pneumoperitoneum pressure was 10 mmHg or 15 mmHg, the changes of respiratory function were recorded in five different positions: trendelenburg position (head low foot height) 30°, 15°, supine position, anti-trendelenburg position (head high foot height) 15° and 30°, peak airway pressure, lung compliance, airway resistance and so on.Results:At 10 mmHg and 30° trendelenburg, peak airway pressure, lung compliance and airway resistance were 28.13 cmH 2O, 23.33 ml/cmH 2O,16.06 cmH 2O·L -1·Sec -1, respectively. When the pneumoperitoneum pressure was adjusted to 15 mmHg, peak airway pressure increased to 32.03 cmH 2O, lung compliance decreased to 20.14 ml / cmH 2O, and airway resistance increased to 117.24 cmH 2O·L -1·Sec -1( P<0.01). At 10 mmHg and trendelenburg returned to 15°, peak airway pressure, lung compliance and airway resistance were 26.66 cmH 2O, 24.95 ml/cmH 2O,15.50 cmH 2O·L -1·Sec -1, peak airway pressure increased to 30.61 cmH 2O, the lung compliance decreased to 20.89 ml/cmH 2O and airway resistance increased to 16.66 cmH 2O·L -1·Sec -1 ( t value was -43.81, 24.638, -12.812, P<0.01). Conclusion:With the increase of trendelenburg position angle and artificial pneumoperitoneum pressure, the peak airway pressure and airway resistance are increased, while the lung compliance decreases gradually. Compared with trendelenburg position, the change of artificial pneumoperitoneum pressure has more influence on respiratory function.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the associations between adipose tissue distribution and risks of macro-vascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods The study included T2DM patients either previously diagnosed by questionnaire or newly diagnosed with fasting plasma glucose(FPG)≥7. 0 mmol/L and/or 2 hour postprandial glucose ( 2h PG )≥11. 1 mmol/L from residents older than 40 years from Jiading Community, Shanghai, China(n=10 375). Each participant had gone through anthropometric measurements, blood tests, vascular function tests including carotid intima-media thickness ( CIMT ) , ankle-brachial index ( ABI ) , branchial-ankle pulse wave velocity( baPWV) as well as carotid plaques. Results WHR quartiles was significantly associated with high risks for ten-year cardiovascular disease risks [ ASCVD high risk: OR:1. 17 ( 1. 05-1. 31 );Framingham high risk:1. 13(1. 00-1. 29)]. However, WHR has no significant relations with risks of increased carotid intima-media thickness( CIMT) , abnormal ankle-brachial index( ABI) , increased brachial ankle pulse wave velocity( baPWV) or carotid plaques. Conclusions In type 2 diabetic patients, abdominal adipose tissue has an independent role in high risk for ten-year cardiovascular diseases. However it has no relations with other vascular functions including increased CIMT, abnormal ABI, increased baPWV, or carotid plaque.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the serum levels of retinol-binding protein 4(RBP4),blood lipid level and glycemic control in patients with chronic schizophrenia complicated with type 2 diabetes.Methods The levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),cholesterol (TC),triglycerides (TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),apolipoproteinA1 (Apo A1),apolipoprotein B(Apo B),apolipoprotein E(Apo E),lipoprotein(a)[Lp (a)],free fatty acid(FFA),RBP4,fasting insulin (FINS) were determined in 96 patients with chronic schizo-phrenia complicated with type 2 diabetes (schizophrenia group) and 50 healthy subjects (healthy control group),the insulin resistance index (HOMA IR)was calculated.The patients were divided into HbA1c<7.0% group and HbA1c≥7.0% group according to the results of the HbA1c,and the results were statistically analyzed.Results In the HbA1c<7.0% group,the levels of HbA1c,FPG,TG,Apo B,Apo E,Lp(a),RBP4 were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group,the levels of serum Apo A1 and HDL-C was lower than those in the healthy control group (P<0.05).In the HbA1c≥7.0% group,the levels of HbA1c, Body mass index (BMI),FPG,TG,Apo E,FFA,RBP4,FINS,HOMA-IR were significantly higher than those in the HbA1c<7.0% group and the healthy control group,the levels of TC,Apo B,Lp(a)were significantly higher than the healthy control group and the levels of serum Apo A 1 and HDL-C were lower than those in the healthy control group (P<0.05).Single factor Logistic regression analysis showed that BMI,TG,Apo E, FFA,RBP4,FINS and HOMA-IR were risk factors for poor control of blood glucose in type 2 diabetes pa-tients with chronic schizophrenia.Conclusion The levels of RBP4 and blood lipid in patients with chronic schizophrenia complicated with type 2 diabetes may be related to the poor control of blood sugar level.

Objective To investigate the effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs ) on vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 ( MCP-1 ) of acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (AMI-R) injury in rats. Methods 24 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group, AMI-R group and UCMSCs treatment groups on average. The rats were sacrificed on the 10th day after UCMSCs transplantation, and the myocardial tissues below the ligature were taken. The mRNA and protein expressions of MCP-1 of the tissue were detected by RT-PCR and Western Blot respectively, and the expression of VEGF protein was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The relative expression levels of MCP-1 mRNA and the protein in UCMSCs group were significantly lower than those in sham group and AMI-R group (all P<0.05). The expression of VEGF protein in UCMSCs group was significantly higher than that in sham group and AMI-R group, the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05). Conclusion UCMSCs transplantation can promote the angiogenesis and decrease the inflammation reaction in the treatment of acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objective To learn the prevalence of infection of human and animals severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome bunyavirus(SFTSV)in Yantai,Shandong province,and to analyze the pathogenic features of SFTSV as well as its relationship between human and animal hosts. Methods From April to November in 2011,3 576 serum samples were collected from domesticated animals,including sheep,cattle,pigs,dogs,chickens,in Laizhou and Penglai areas where fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome frequently occured among local residents. Total SFTSV antibodies and virus-specific nucleic acids of the serum were tested by ELISA and Real time RT-PCR,respectively. SFTSV infection on each animal was observed in different months. 2 590 human serum samples were also collected in Laizhou and Penglai areas,with IgG antibodies tested by ELISA. Virus was isolated with Vero cells from the serum which SFTSV viral nucleic acids were positive. S fragments were amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced,with homology analysis conducted on these sequences. Results The overall positive rate of serum samples from animals on the total SFTSV antibodies was 40.24%(1 439/3 576)while the positive rate for specific nucleic acids was 4.56%(163/3 576). The positive rates for SFTSV antibodies were 62.78%,52.97%,45.56%,28.73%,1.45%and the positive rates for specific nucleic acids were 5.72%,4.63%,3.02%,5.25%and 3.73%,in sheep,cattle,chickens,dogs, pigs,respectively. The antigens/antibodies for SFTSV in animals changed seasonally. The overall positive rate for SFTSV IgG antibody from 2 590 human samples was 5.41%. Thirteen virus strains were isolated from these serum samples(10 strains from human and 3 strains from animals). The nucleotide homology of 13S fragments’sequences ranged from 95.23%to 100.00%and the nucleotide homology with the isolates from other provinces were between 94.72%and 99.13%. The homology was considered to be high. Conclusion High prevalence of SFTSV infections occured both in human and domestic animals in Yantai city. The nucleotide sequences of SFTSV were highly homologous among human and domestic animals. The findings suggested that domesticated animals might serve as SFTSV proliferation and the hosts for transmission thus should be attached great importance.
