Journal of Chinese Physician 2009;11(4):456-457
Objective To study the relationship between serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels and clinical features in the patients with colorectal cancer. Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays was used to detect the concentration of MIF in sera of 75 patients with colorectal cancer (35 case with primary colorectal cancer and 40 cases with lymphnode metastasis of colorectal cancer) and 40 healthy controls. The relationship between serum MIF levels and clinical features was analyzed. Results Serum MIF was found to be significantly elevated in the patients with colorectal cancer(mean value 31.2ng/ml) compared with healthy subjects (mean value 13.6ng/ml) (P <0. 001). The levels of MIF in colorectal cancer were significantly correlated with advanced clinical progression pathology stages (P <0. 05) and lymph node metastasis (P < 0. 05). Conclusions Increased expression level of MIF in serum may promote the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer and M1F is closely associated with the stages and lymph node metastasis of colorectal cancer.

Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2012;31(8):662-665
Objective To understand the clinical feature of the elderly patients with diabetes during coronary angiography,and analyze the risk factors of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN).Methods The clinical data of 269 elderly patients who had undergone coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) from January 2007 to December 2009 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively.The patients were divided into two groups:CIN group and non-CIN group.The possible risk factors for CIN,such as glycemic control,diabetic complication,renal function,volume of contrast medium,inflammatory state,therapy of perioperative period,past medical history were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results In 269 elderly patients with diabetes,the incidence of CIN was 9.3 % (25/269).According to estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR),the patients were divided into four subgroup:≥90 ml/min,89-60 ml/min,59-30 ml/min,<29 ml/min.The incidences of CIN for the subgroups were 2.2%(1/45),4.4%(6/135),17.3%(14/81) and 50 % (4/8),respectively.Multivariate logistic gradual regressive analysis showed that loop diuretic use (OR> 6.07),preoperative e-GFR(<60 ml/min) (OR>3.27),volume of contrast medium (≥200ml) (OR>3.26),chronic kidney disease(CKD) (OR>2.80) (P=0.001,0.024,0.015,0.048) were indepen-dent risk factors for CIN (P<0.05). Conclusions Loop diuretic use,preoperative GFR (<60 ml/min),volume of contrast medium (≥200 ml) and CKD are independent risk factors of CIN.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of dual-phase insulin aspart with different dosing regimens on the related indica-tors of type 2 diabetic (T2DM) patients with poor glycemic control. METHODS:70 T2DM patients with poor glycemic control were randomly divided into group A and group B. All patients were given metformin and stopped other antidiabetic drugs;based on it,group A was additionally given Dual-phase insulin aspart injection,0.5 U/(kg·d),in the morning and evening before a meal by subcutaneous injection;group B was given Dual-phase insulin aspart injection,0.5 U/(kg·d),once before lunch time for 6-10 U and other twice in the morning and evening before a meal by subcutaneous injection. Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. Glu-cose control rate,glucose control time,and glucose indicators,daily fluctuations of glucose before and after treatment and incidenc-es of hypoglycemia and adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:Glucose control rate in group B was significantly higher than group A,glucose control time was significantly shorter than group A,incidence of hypoglycemia was significantly low-er than group A(P<0.05). After treatment,glucose indicators and daily fluctuations of glucose in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and group B was lower than group A(P<0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions during treatment. CONCLU-SIONS:Conpared with 2 times a day,Dual-phase insulin aspart with 3 times a day for administration can effectively improve the glucose control rate and glucose levels in the treatment of T2DM patients with poor glycemic control,with good safety.

Objective To establish a method to investigate micronuclei (MN) and gene mutation at the heterozygous thymidine kinase (tk) locus induced by environmental mutagens in TK6 human lymphoblastiod cells. Methods TK6 cells were used to detect cytotoxic response, MN and mutation frequency at tk locus induced by cyclophosphomide (CP) after treatment with S9 mixture for 4 h. Results Exposure to CP for 4 h decreased relative survival (RS), induced both MN and TK mutation in a concetration-dependent manner. The maximum induction of MN and TK mutations were 8.8 and 15.7 times compared with those of control. Two distinct phenotypic colonies of TK mutants were generated, namely tk-NG and tk-SG mutant colonies but mainly the latter. Conclusion CP induced both MN and TK mutation in TK6 cells. TK6 cells can be used as an in vitro assay system to assess cytogenetic damage and gene mutation at tk locus of environmental chemicals.
