Objective To investigate the relationship between inflammatory factors,including C-reactive protein( CRP),tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α),adiponectin,leptin and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and their changes in puerperiunr Methods From June 2008 to May 2010,40 cases with gestational diabetes mellitus,40 cases of normal pregnancy were enrolled in this study.Fasting venous blood were obtained at early pregnancy (10 - 12 weeks),late pregnancy (36 -38 weeks) and day 3 and 42 of postpartum.Serumal adiponectin,leptin and TNF-α were measured by ELISA,and serumal CRP were measured by particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric method.The levels of those 4 cytokines and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index were compared between two groups.And the changes of 4 cytokines were calculated in puerperium.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) for TNF-α predicting GDM was designed.Results ( 1 ) The relationship between cytokines and HOMA-IR:the levels of adiponectin of (5.7 ± 1.8 ) mg/L in the GDM group were significantly lower than ( 8.1 ± 2.7 ) mg/L in control group in early pregnancy,and the level of adiponectin was negatively correlated with HOMA-IR (r=-0.333,P<0.05).The levels of (28 ± 10) μg/L of leptin,( 10.0 ±3.4) ng/L of TNF-α and (4.7 ± 1.1 ) mg/L of CRP in GDM group were significantly higher than ( 20 ± 8 ) μ,g/L of leptin,(4.6 ±2.7) ng/L of TNF-α,(2.4 ± 1.2 ) mg/L of CRP in control group,which were positively correlated with HOMA-IR ( r =0.411,0.529,0.308,all P < 0.05 ).In late pregnancy,the level of adiponectin ( 3.9 ±2.2) mg/L in the GDM group was significantly lower than ( 6.6 ± 2.7 ) mg/L in control group,and the level of adiponectin was negatively correlated with HOMA-IR ( r =- 0.344,P < 0.05 ).The levels of ( 37 ±13) μg/L of leptin,( 12.7 ±2.6) ng/L of TNF-α and (6.7 ±3.6) mg/L of CRP in the GDM group were significantly higher than ( 30 ± 13 ) μg/L of leptin,(5.8 ± 2.1 ) ng/L of TNF-α,( 4.4 ± 3.1 ) mg/L of CRP in control group,which were positively correlated with HOMA-IR (r =0.414,0.487,0.285,all P <0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the level of TNF-α at early and late pregnancy was most correlated with HOMA-IR ( r =0.390,0.284,all P < 0.05 ).( 2 ) The level of the cytokines and HOMA-IR in puerperium:at day 3 of postpartum,the level of adiponectin of (3.3 ± 1.1) mg/L in the GDM group was significantly lower than (6.2 ± 1.5 ) mg/L in control group,which was negatively correlated with HOMA-1R (r =- 0.283,P < 0.05 ).The levels of ( 31 ± 13 ) μg/L of leptin,( 10.1 ± 5.7 ) ng/L of TNF-α and (35.1 ±6.5) mg/L of CRP in the GDM group were significantly higher than (21 ± 15) μg/L of leptin,(5.6 ± 3.0) ng/L of TNF-α,(30.5 ± 8.5) mg/L of CRP in control group.And leptin and TNF-α levels were positively correlated with HOMA-IR (r=0.372,0.494,all P <0.05).At day 42 of postpartum,the level of adiponectin in GDM group was negatively correlated with HOMA-IR ( r =- 0.299,P < 0.05 ),and the levels of leptin and TNF-α were positively correlated with HOMA-IR ( r =0.401,0.442,all P <0.05 ).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the level of TNF-αt at day 3 and day 42 was most correlated with HOMA-IR ( r =0.363,0.274,all P < 0.05 ).( 3 ) ROC analysis of data from early pregnancy showed that the threshold for TNF-α to predict GDM was 5.45 ug/L.Conclusion TNF-ot might be the index to predict GDM and evaluate prognosis.

Due to lack of the practical technique to measure the biomechanical properties of the ocular cornea in vivo, clinical ophthalmologists have some difficulties in understanding the deformation mechanism of the cornea under the action of physiological intraocular pressures. Using Young's theory analysis of the corneal deformation during applanation tonometry, the relation between the elasticity moduli of the cornea and the applanated corneal area and the measured and true intraocular pressures can be obtained. A new applanation technique has been developed for measuring the biomechanical properties of the ocular cornea tissue in vivo, which can simultaneously acquire the data of the applanation area and displacement of the corneal deformation as well as the exerted applanation force on the cornea. Experimental results on a rabbit's eyeball demonstrated that the present technique could be used to measure the elasticity moduli and creep properties of the ocular cornea nondestructively in vivo.

Objective:To improve the teaching quality of in-service clinical pharmacist training. Methods:According to the traits of in-service pharmacists and teaching methods, combined with problem-based learning ( PBL), peer-led team learning(PLTL) and lecture-based learning ( LBL) , a standard teaching mode for in-service clinical pharmacists was explored and established. Results:The teaching mode could not only improve the study enthusiasm of students, but also let them master the study methods, and team co-operation consciousness was strengthened. Conclusion:An integrated teaching mode of LBL, PBL and PLTL has a good teaching effect on clinical pharmacist training.

Objective To detect the expression of E-cadherin and ?-catenin in breast carcinoma and analyze the relationship between E-cadherin and ?-catenin and the clinicopathological features. Methods The expression of E-cadherin and ?-catenin in breast cancer, paracarcinoma breast tissue, simple mastoplasia and atypical mastoplasia were detected by immunohistochemical method and the results were compared. Results The abnormal expression rates of E-cadherin and ?-catenin in breast cancer tissue were 51.9% and 61.1 %,respectively. Abnormal expression of E-cadherin was significantly correlated with histological grade. Abnormal expression of ?-catenin was significantly correlated with TNM staging, axillary lymph nodes metastasis and postoperative distant metastasis. COX multiple factor analysis showed that neither E-cadherin nor ?-catenin expression was an independent indicator for the prognosis of breast cancer. Conclusions Abnormal expressions of E-cadherin and ?-catenin are correlated with occurrence and development of breast carcinoma. Abnormal expressions of E-cadherin and ?-catenin are good indicators to judge invasion and metastasis of breast carcinoma.
