1.Efficacy and safety of vildagliptin and metformin combination therapy in type 2 diabetes
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2011;27(12):后插1-后插4
Vildagliptin,a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor,is always used in combination with metformin.Data from multiple clinical trials showed that vildagliptin and metformin combination therapy can improve HbA1c,fasting blood glucose,and postprandial blood glucose without weight gain,good gastrointestinal (GI)tolerance,and no increase in the incidence of hypoglycemia.Vildagliptin increases plasma levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 ( GLP-1 ).When glucose levels are above normal fasting levels,enhanced GLP-1 levels stimulate insulin secretion.Mefformin has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity and inhibit hepatic glucose production.The effect of vildagliptin to increase plasma levels of intact GLP-1 was enhanced in patients receiving concomitant metformin.

Objective To explore the effects of various location methods on the successful rate of placement nails by the entrance spot of lumbar vertebra pedicle. Methods The clinical data of 105 patients with 462 times of internal nail fixation of lumbar vertebra pedicle were analyzed, and the successful rates of placement nails one time were compared among 5 location methods. Results 462 times of internal nail fixation of lumbar vertebral pedicle were performed safely. Postoperative X-ray imagining showed that 322 nails were located in the middle of pedicle of lumbar vertebra, 58 nails in its inferior part, and 82 nails in its superior part. The successful rate of placement nails one time by the location method of four quadrants technique was 86.9%, which was significantly different compared with the other 4 location methods(P

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of auricular sticking therapy in treating vascular headache. Methods: Fifty patients with vascular headache were randomized into two groups, 25 cases in each. The treatment group received auricular sticking therapy with magnetic pearls, and the control group was treated by Flunarizine Hydrochloride, 30 d as a treatment session, and the results were measured after one treatment session. Result: The total effective rate was 92.0% in the treatment group while 60.0% in the control group, and the difference was significant (P<0.01). A marked decrease of blood pressure was detected in the treatment group (P<0.05). The mean velocity in middle cerebral artery and anterior cerebral artery both changed significantly (P<0.01). Conclusion: Auricular sticking therapy can significantly improve the condition of vascular headache, as well as reduce blood pressure and help cerebral blood flow.

Objective To investigate the clinical festures and CLCN1 gene mutation screen on a myotonia congenital kindred.Methods The clinical data of 22 patients in the myotonia congenital kindred were analysed. Results There were total 68 people in 5 generations, including 24 patients in 4 generations .Both male and female were suffered. All patientes of this kindred showed myotonia with onset the illness from the infant, and 16 cases accompanied with hypermyotrophy.The levels of creatases and dielectric in serum were normal in all the cases. Spontaneous myotonic electric potential were observed on electromyography( EMG ) in 2 cases.The proband was found in light microscope by biopsy that muscle fibers arranged loosenly , size of them mismatched , transverse striation was unclear and some of them was hyperplasia and hypertrophy. Muscle cells degenerated gently with a few inflammatory cells infiltration. No mutation was found in the whole 23 extrons of CLCN1 gene in the 3 patients.Conclusions This kindred accords with the autosomal dominant heredity form Thomsen's disease. The affected numbers have the typical clinical characteristics. No mutation is found when 23 extrons of CLCN1 gene screened in the patients which indicate the genetic heterogeneity may be exist in this kindred.

A 27-peptide,a fragment of hepatitis delta antigen(HDAg),was synthesized and used to develop an ELISA method for ihe detection of anti-HD.It was found that positive anti-HD reaction occurred between the coated 27-peptide and a stored sample of serum which was known anti-HD positive.Absorption test revealed that the synthetic peptide competed with natural HDAg for anti-HD,suggesting that the peptide possessed the antigenicity similar to that of natural HDAg.The antigenicity of the synthetic peptide was quite specific wihtout cross reaction with normal human and mouse sera and with anti-HA.anti-HB and anti-HC sera.Among 300 blood donors,there was only 1 case(0.33%)anti-HD positive with an ALT level 2 times higher than normal.In 41 cases of non-B hepatitis and 52 cases of HAV hepatitis,none was anti-HD positive.In 211 cases of various types of HBV hepatitis,21 were(9.95%)anti-HD positive,among whom 2/82(2.5%)werehealthy HBV carriers,6/43(13.95%)were patients with a-cute icteric hepatitis,6/60(10.00%)were patients of chronic active hepatitis,4/18(22.20%)were patients of severe hepatitis,and 3/8(37.50%)were those with liver cirrhosis.These results were consistent with those in our previous reports.

Objective To evaluate an improved modification of TTC staining method for measuring myocardial in-farct size after ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods Twenty healthy SPF male 8-week-old SD rats were randomly divided into two groups:Group A with conventional TTC staining, and group B with the modified TTC staining method for measuring myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.The infarct size was caculated and the serum cTnI levels were determined.Results The infarcted myocardium was well detected in both groups A and B.There were no significant differences in the myocardial infarct sizes measured in the groups A and B (48.69 ±5.37 %vs.47.41 ±3.28%, P>0.05).There were no significant differences in the serum cTnI levels assayed in the groups A and B (4.51 ±0.88 ng/mL vs.4.70 ±0.71 ng/mL, P>0.05). But compared with the group A, the color contrast of stained myocardial slice and the distinguishing infarction area and non-infarction area were much clearer in the group B.Conclusions Our modified TTC staining technique using in vivo staining is an economic, convenient, fast and efficient method, being easy to control, time-saving and inexpensive, and enhances the staining effect in evaluating the size of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury more accurately.
