Objective To understand the serum adiponectin levels in normal subjects and type 2 diabetes patients with macrovascular complications, to investigate the correlation between adipnectin and macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes patients. Methods One hundred and two normal subjects, 116 type 2 diabetes patients and 123 type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications were recruited in the current study. The serum adiponectin levels among three groups were compared, and the factors affecting the serum adiponectin were investigated. Results ①The serum adiponectin level was significantly lower in type 2 diabetic patients (8. 62 ± 2. 97) mg/L than that in normal subjects (10. 03 ± 4.41) mg/L, and was the lowest in type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications(6. 17 ± 2. 55) mg/L(P < 0.05). ②Serum adiponetin level was negatively correlated with BMI,WHR,HOMA-IR,fasting insulin level, HbAlC and TG(r = -0.492, -0. 581, -0. 813, -0. 754, -0.619, -0.387, P<0.05). ③In a general multivariate regression, HOMA-IR fasting insulin and HbAlc.were negatively correlated with serum adipnectin level (r = - 0. 828, - 0. 769, - 0. 631, P < 0. 01). Conclusions The serum adiponectin level in type 2 diabetic patients is significantly decreased and even more in type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications. These results suggest that lower serum adiponectin level is related to macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients and maybe plays an important role in atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetic patients.

Objective To explore the correlation of adipnectin with T2DM and its macrovascular complications. Methods The levels of serum adiponectin, plasma glucose, serum lipids, and fasting insulin were measured in normal subjects, type 2 diabetic patients and type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications. Results (1) The serum adiponectin level was significantly lower in type 2 diabetic patients than in normal subjects, and was the lowest in type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications. (2) Serum adiponetin level was negatively correlated with BMI,HOMA-IR, HbA_1c,TG and fasting insulin level. Conclusions The results suggest that lower serum adiponectin level may be related to macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients.

To investigate the curative effect of minimally invasive sclera buckling on single retinal detachment.METHODS:Totally, 100 cases of patients with retinal detachment ( 106 eyes ) enrolled in our hospital were randomly divided into observation group and control group, 53 eyes in each group. Patients in observation group were treated with minimally invasive sclera buckling, while patients in control group received traditional limbal conjunctival incision. After surgery, patients were all followed up for 6 ~18mo, during which the retinal recurrence situation, degree of vision enhancement and compliance occurrence rate was recorded. RESULTS: The retinal reattachment rate once of observation group (96. 22%) was significantly higher than that of control group (88. 68%), there was statistically significance (P<0. 05). The vision enhancement rate of observation group (84. 90%) was significantly higher than that of control group (71. 70%), there was statistically significance (P<0. 05). The compliance occurrence rate of observation group (11. 32%) was significantly lower than that of control group (32. 08%), there was statistically significance (P<0. 05).CONCLUSlON: The improved minimally invasive sclera buckling can significantly enhance the curative effect for retinal detachment, decrease the compliance occurrence rate, improve vision function, and is a scientific, practical and rigorous tool for retinal detachment treatment.

Objective To evaluate the effects of hydroxyapatite (HA) extensively-coated prosthesis on elderly patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.Methods From February 1997 to May 1999,96 patients Were treated with hydroxyapatite (HA) coated prosthesis and followed up for their hip arthroplasty.Their results were studied clinically and roentgengraphically to evaluate chiefly their Harris scores,complications and thigh pain.The survival of prosthesis was evaluated according to Kaplan-Meier methods.Results The 60 cases were followed up for eight years on average(range,sevon to nine years).Their mean Harris scores were improved from 42 preoperatively to 90 postoperatively.Fifty-eihgt cases felt no pain at their hip,but two did at their thigh.No radiolucent lines were observed.All the prostheses achieved bony stabilization and remolding.Conclusions HA coated prosthesis can achieve fine fixation,because it helps bone conduction,resists axial force and torsion,and reduces operative risks.

Objective To study the role of Mycoplasma genitalium(Mg)infection in chronic non- bacterial prostatitis.Methods Culture and two PCR systems were performed on prostatic secretion specimens from 487 patients with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis and 75 health men in Changchun regions. Results positive rate of Mg in the prostatic secretion from the 487 patients was 7.39% (36/487);In the controls,the positive rate of Mg was 1.33%(1/75).The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (X~2=3.88,P

Objective To investigate the function of helper T lymphocyte cell(Th)1/Th2 cytokine in food allergy development.Methods A total 110 Balb/c mice were randomly divided into 2 groups:control group(40 mice)and food allergy group(70 mice).Food allergy animal models were established by ovalbumin,performed by skin prick test;in positive reaction mice,serum specific IgE,IL-4 and IFN-? were measured by enzyme linked immuosorbent assay(ELISA),and intestinal pathology were performed,and the mRNA expressions of IL-10,TGF-? in intestinal were measured by real-time PCR assay.Results In food allergy group,the mRNA expression of IL-10,TGF? in intestinal decreased(P

On the basis of the development of a new CE method for the analysis of α-lactalbumin (α-Lac), β-lactoglobulin A(β-LgA) and β-lactoglobulin B(β-LgB), different concentrations of acetic acid (HAc) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) for the removal of proteins in raw milk, infant formula A and B, and yogurt were investigated.It was shown that TCA is better than HAc for eliminating of proteins in the above four samples.The proteins in 2 g of raw milk could be eliminated by 3 mL of 100 g/L TCA.0.5 g of infant formula A and B needs 5 mL of 10 g/L and 20 g/L TCA to remove the proteins, respectively.For 2 g of yogurt, 3 mL of 20 g/L TCA is enough.The present research may provide valuable information for protein-containing sample (such as raw milk, infant formula and yogurt) pretreatment.
