Objective To investigate the relationship between serum leptin and carotid intima-media thickness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods 35 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and 16 normal controls were studied. Fasting serum leptin, fasting glucose(FBG), HbAlc, C-peptide, lipide, systolic(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), body mass index (BMI) and waist circ-umference (WC) were measured in all subjects. The intima-media thickness (IMT) of common carotid artery was measured by high-resolu-tion ultrasound imaging. Results IMT of T2DM was positively correlated with leptin concentration. Conclusion Serum leptin concentra-tion is independently associated with the IMT of carotid artery, which suggest that leptin may be an independent risk factor of atherosclerosis.

Objective To investigate the plantar pressure distribution of the injuried limbs and the healthy side after the operation for Pilon fracture. Methods 31 patients with Pilon fractures were tested with Footscan USB2 system, including the maximum force and impulse of 10 zones of the feet 1 year after surgery. Results Compared with the contralateral feet, the maximum force reduced under the the first metatarsal bone, medial heel, and lateral heel (P<0.05), and it increased under the fourth, and fifth metatarsal bone (P<0.05) of the injured feet. The impulse reduced under the the first metatarsal bone, medial heel, and lateral heel (P<0.05), and increased under the fifth metatarsal bone and midfoot (P<0.05). Conclusion The load decreased on the heel and medial forefoot, and increased on the lateral forefoot of the injured limbs after Pilon fracture, while the lateral forefoot and midfoot tend to be injured.

Objective To compare and analyze the results of patients' blood sugar value tested by Terumo glucometer and Hitachi 7180 biochemical analyzer, and to analyze their correlation. Methods Fifty blood samples with different blood sugar values. Terumo glucometer was used to test blood sugar for three times and an average value was calculat-ed;full-automatic Hitachi 7180 biochemical analyzer was used to test blood sugar for three times by serum centrifuga-tion of 3000 rpm, and an average value was calculated. SPSS software was used for analysis. Results Precision of Teru-mo glucometer CV% was less than 5%, and the relative bias accorded with related requirements. Compared with the test results by Hitachi 7180 full-automatic biochemical analyzer, results of blood sugar by Terumo glucometer were all within the allowed range. Standard deviation of sample average of 50 samples tested by Terumo glucometer was (7.51±0.69), and the standard deviation of sample average of samples tested by Hitachi 7180 biochemical analyzer was (7.37±0.66). Results of blood sugar tested by Terumo glucometer and Hitachi 7180 biochemical analyzer were not statistically different (t=0.15, P>0.05); correlation coefficient R2 of Terumo glucometer and Hitachi 7180 biochemical analyzer was 0.9739. Conclusion Correlation between glucometer and full-automatic biochemical analyzer in testing blood sugar is favorable, which can be used for blood sugar testing for diabetic patients, but the blood sugar value tested by biochemi-cal analyzer must be taken as diagnostic basis.

There is growing interest in biodiesel and this results in the accumulation of glycerol. The exploitation and application of glycerol has attracted more and more attention. In the current study, glycerol was biotransformed to produce 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde by genetic engineering bacteria. It is known that 3-hydroxypopionaldehyde has been widely used as an important intermediate for chemicals, effective antimicrobial agent, and fix agent for tissues. A pair of primers was designed on the basis of the sequence of both NH2-terminus and the amino acid sequence of glycerol dehydratase reported by NCBI, and a fragment about 1.6 kb was obtained by PCR amplification using the total genome DNA of Lactobacillus reuteri as template, then the fragment was cloned to the pMD18-T vector and sequenced. Two specific primers were designed according to the obtained sequence, and a fragment with length of 1674 bp was amplified using PCR with these two specific primers. Consequently, the resulting products were digested with EcoR I and Hind III and ligated using T4 DNA ligase to the pET28b vector digested with the same enzymes. The recombinant plasmid, named pET28b-dhaB, was transformed into E. coli BL21. The positive clones were induced with IPTG and the expression products were further analyzed by SDS-PAGE, indicating that protein with a molecule weight of around 65 kD was obtained. Furthermore, the glycerol dehydratase activity was evaluated and compared with the wild type strain as well.
