1.Chronic inflammatory cytokines: Associations with type 2 diabetes and obesity
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2000;0(11):-
Role of chronic inflammation in type 2 diabetes and obesity has been recognized in the past few years. Examples of potent inflammatory cytokines are C-reactive protein (CRP),tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) ,plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Inflammatory processes may have important roles in the development of type 2 diabetes,obesity and insulin resistance. This article reviewed the relationship between some inflammatory cytokines and diabetes, providing references for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology 2011;31(4):299-304
Objective To investigate the effects of platelet-derived growth factor(POGF),basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)and epidermal growth factor(EGF)on the proliferation,migration and phenotypie modulation of airway smooth muscle cells(ASMCs)in vitro.Methods Cultured human ASMCs were stimulated with PDGF.bFGF,EGF or DMEM(control).Cell pmliferation was detected by BrdU incorporation and cell count.Cell migration was measured using Boyden's chamber.Reverse transcription-poly-merase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and Western blot analysis were used for the detection of sm-α-actin and sm-MHC mRNA and protein expression in ASMCs.Resuits The mitotic index(%BrdU-positive per total number of cells)of ASMCs stimulated with PDGF.bFGF and EGF were significantly higher than those in control(P<0.001 or P<0.05).And the cell number of ASMCs stimulated with PDGF,bFGF and EGFwere also significantly higher than those in control(P<0.05).The number of migrating cells treated with PDGF,bFGF and EGF were higher than that in eontrol(P<0.05).The expressions of sm-α-actin mRNA treated with bFGF and EGF were significantly lower than those in control.but it was higher than control when treated with PDGF.The expressions of sm-MHC mRNA treated with bFGF and EGF were significantly lower than those in control,but it was higher than control when treated with PDGF(P<0.01 orP<0.05).Theexpressions of sm-α-actin protein treated with bFGF and EGF were significantly lower than those in control,but it was higher than control when treated with PDGF(P<0.05).The expressions of sm-MHC protein treated with bFGF and EGF were significantly lower than those in control.but it was higher than control when treated with PDGF(P<0.05).Conclusion PDGF,bFGF and EGF can directly induce ASMCs,proliferation and migration in vitro;and meanwhile,the expressions of cells,contractive phenotype increased treated with PDGF and decreased treated with bFGF and EGF.

Objective To investigate the use of antimicrobial drugs in our hospital and provide guide for clinical use of antimicrobial drugs.Methods Tabulate and analyze the usage of antimicrobial drugs according to the discharged patients' medical records from Jan 2004 to Dec 2006.Then use statistical methods for retrospective survey.Results Among 4003 medical records,2756 of them used antibiotics,with the percentage being 68.85%.1103 recodes used combined medication,which accounted for 40.02% of the total records.Type I incision occupied 90.86% in surgical departments.The percentage of the inpatients who used antimicrobial drugs after operation for about five to seven days was 78.85%.For selecting drugs,the majority were empirical antibiotics treatment,which achieved 93.72%.The ratio of irrational use of drugs was 25.90%.Conclusion The clinical use of antimicrobial drugs in our hospital is dramatically lower than the average level of the whole nation.However,non-standardized administrations of medication,super-standardization,super-range use of drugs are still the problems needed to solve.

Objective To investigate the characteristics in vitro and hemostatic function of O -carboxymethyl chitosan multi-hemostatic sponge. Methods Freeze-drying technology was applied on preparation of O -carboxymethyl chitosan hemostatic sponge. The physicochemical properties of the self-produced multi-hemostatic sponge were observed for its appearance, porosity rate,water absorption,and density. The hemostatic effect was compared between the self-produced hemostatic sponge and commercially available absorbable gelatin sponge in rabbit models with ear venous and arterial injuries. Results The self-produced hemostatic sponge was off-white and full of pores with good tenacity and even net texture. Its porosity ratio, water absorption rate, and density were 67. 23%,38. 77%,and 0. 043 4 g·(cm3)-1,respectively. The bleeding time volume were significantly lower from the self-produced sponge than that from the commercially available gelatin sponge. No secondary re-bleeding was observed. Conclusion The self-produced O -carboxymethyl chitosan multi-hemostatic sponge displays stable physicochemical characteristics and reliable hemostatic effect.

Objective To investigate the effect of laparoscopic vertical banding gastroplasty (LVBG) on hepatic steatosis and metabolic abnormalities in morbidly obese patients one year after surgery.Methods A total of 11 morbidly obese patients with CT diagnosis of liver steatosis were studied to compare the following data before and one year after LVBG,including weight,body mass index(BMI),waist circumference,fasting plasma glucose(FPG),fasting insulin(FINS),insulin resistance index (HOMA IR), total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG) and liver enzymes.Results With the loss of weight,BMI,waist circumference,FINS,HOMA IR and TG were declined,while liver CT values increased significantly after LVBG.The change of waist circumference was correlated with the change of FINS and that of HOMA IR significantly (P

AIM: To investigate the clinical effect of cataract combined lens dislocation greater than 2 quadrants` patients after having phase I intracapsular cataract extraction and anterior vitrectomy,postoperative corrected vision greater than 0.3,and then taking phase II small incision suture-fixation of intraocular lens suspension.METHODS: Totally 34 cases with cataract combined lens dislocation greater than 2 quadrants had been treated in our hospital from July 2014 to December 2016.We investigated their 1wk,1 and 3mo postoperative complications and the uncorrected visual acuity,best corrected visual acuity,intraocular pressure,corneal astigmatism who took phase II small incision suture-fixation of intraocular lens suspension with corrected vision greater than 0.3 after having phase I intracapsular cataract extraction and anterior vitrectomy.RESULTS: Along with the recovery time extension,patients` uncorrected visual acuity and best corrected visual acuity increased obviously than preoperative in each phase.On the 3mo postoperatively,the best corrected visual acuity of 1 eyes was between 0.3 and 0.1,8 eyes was between 0.5 and 0.3,16 eyes was between 0.7 and 0.5,and 9 eyes was better than 0.7.The best corrected visual acuity was achieved or near the best corrected visual acuity before surgery.Intraocular pressure rechecked became in the normal range at 1wk,1 and 3mo postoperative.Surgery did not significantly increase the corneal astigmatism.CONCLUSION: It is a safe and effective way in improving eyesight effectively,with stable intraocular pressure and fewer complications towards cataract combined lens dislocation greater than 2 quadrants` patients having phase I intracapsular cataract extraction and anterior vitrectomy,whose postoperative corrected vision greater than 0.3,and then phase II small incision suture-fixation of intraocular lens suspension.

Objective To investigate the role of rosiglitazone in high glucose(HG)-induced intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) expression of rat mesangial cells.Methods The rat mesangial cells(MCs) were cultured in the medium with normal glucose(5.6 mmol/L,NG),high glucose(25 mmol/L,HG),HG+5 ?mol/L rosiglitazone,HG+20 ?mol/L rosiglitazone and HG+PDTC(?NF-?B inhibitor).ICAM-1 mRNA expression was measured by semi-quantitative RT-PCR assay.Activation of nuclear factor-?B(NF-?B) of rat mesangial cells was measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA).The levels of ICAM-1 in the supernatants were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay(ELISA.) Results RT-PCR results showed that high-glucose increased the ratio of PCR products of ICAM-1 over GAPDH to 2.9-fold,which was prevented by rosiglitazone(5 and 20 ?mol/L) pre-treatment.The NF-?B binding activity was 2.5-fold higher in MCs exposed to HG as compared with NG(P
