To investigate the clinical risk factors of cardiac diastolic dysfunction in type 2 DM, Doppler echocardiographic examinations were performed on 63 male patients.With a routine 2 dimensional echocardiograph, mitral and pulmonary venous flow velocity were recorded. The patients were classified into DM, IGT and NGT based on well standardized criteria of WHO. All analyses were performed by the SPSS/PC or Windows Release 9.0 Statistical Package. The risk factors of impairment of diastolic function were analyzed by regression. Results showed that the levels of blood glucose and insulin were independent risk factors for diabetic cardiac diastolic dysfunction.

Objective To explore the pathological changes of the livers from hepatic failure (HF)patients and its association with clinical disease stages.Methods Thirty-nine patients with liver failure caused by HBV infections were investigated,and none accompanied with hepatocellular carci- noma.The sections of tissue were taken from the liver after liver transplantation and stained with he- matoxylin eosin(H&E)or RT(reticular fiber)staining.The pathological features were analyzed and compared between the clinical and pathological diagnosis.Results 1.The range and the grade of the pathological changes were all well-proportioned in the whole liver but quite asymmetrical in the same spicemen.2.4 cases with clinical diagnosis of cirrhosis(active stage)were in accordance with the pathological diagnosis.Only 17 in 35cases can be pathologically diagnosed as chronic severe hepatitis (SH),while the other 18 cases were pathologically diagnosed as cirrhosis(active stage).Conclu- sion There were a great inconsistency between the clinical and pathological diagnosis.

Objective To understand the effect of estradiol in different concentrations on proliferation of diverse mammary primary cells in vitro. Methods The primary cells of cancer tissue, the adjacent tissue to tumors and normal mammary tissue from patiens with breast cancer were obtained using collagenase digesting method. All the tissue samples were cultivated in vitro, and were given estradiol in different concentrations. The effect of estradiol on the proliferation of those primary cells was measured by MTT. Results Estradiol remarkedly promoted the proliferation of primary cells of cancer tissue and peritumor tissue in vitro, whose ER expression were positive. Whereas, the promotion effect of estradiol on the proliferation of normal mammary primary cells was relatively weak, and there was no correlation between the promotion effect with the expression of ER in cancer tissue. Conclusion The risks of occurrence and relapse of breast cancer would increase significantly when the concentration of estradiol is no less than 103 pmol/L in vivo.

In this study, in vitro chemosensitivity testing was conducted on primary cultured breast cancer cells from 96 patients with breast cancer, and the results showed that the cells from a few patients with primary breast cancer developed multidrug resistance (MDR) prior to the first chemotherapy exposure. All the cells from the recurrent cancer patients had MDR. The findings suggested that patients having MDR would benefit from high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) regimens. In vitro chemosensitivity screening, which was aimed at improving the therapeutic efficacy and minimizing side effects, helps in choosing individualized treatment for breast cancer.

Adaptive behavior is attracting more and more attention and have become necessary basis of diagnosis and intervention of mental retardation. The definition of adaptive behavior have not unified yet, AAMR(2002) suggests that adaptive behavior is the skill of concept, society and use, the constraint of adaptive behavior will influence individual's daily life, and then life adaption. Approachs of mental retardation assessment include interviews, behavioral observations, functional assessment, quality of life assessment and sociometric techniques. No matter which approach is used in assessment, the goal is to improve lives of individuals with mental retardation, the limits of each approach should be considered, and, the assessment of individuals with mental retardation must contain all aspects.

ObjectiveTo recover the effect of rehabilitation therapy on the automatic nervous system(ANS)of patients with stroke. MethodsThe multiple index measurement was applied to measure ANS after stroke in 31 patients. The therapy of the Bobath,Brunnstrom and Rood were used as the basic methods for 3 months.ResultsThe balance index of the automatic nerve after treatment by the rehabilitation therapy was higher markedly than before(P<0.01).There is a correlativity with recovery of the movement function. Conclusions The rehabilitation can improve the function of automatic nerve.
