Objective To explore risk factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus in suburban of Tianjin.Methods A frequently matched community-based case-control study was conducted in Tianjin suburb.The multi-phasic stratified cluster sampling method was adopted.Finally 9 961 people were selected as study subjects.All of 585 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited as cases,and 620 persons without type 2 diabetes mellitus were chosen as controls.The two groups were frequently matched by age and sex.Results Family history of diabetes mellitus(OR=2.671),depression(OR=3.759),higher level of BMI(OR=1.502) and WHR(OR=1.740),history of hypertension(OR=2.016),history of hyperlipoidemia(OR=1.867),were risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus while increased the risk of type 2 diabetes.And increasing intake of fruits(OR=0.736) was shown to be reversely associated with diabetes mellitus.Conclusions Family history of diabetes mellitus,depression,overweight,central obesity,history of hypertension,history of hyperlipoidemia were risk factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus in suburban of Tianjin,while increasing intake of fruits was shown to be a protective factor of diabetes mellitus.

A comparative study on the glycolic acid oxidase (GO) of the domestic Spirulina(Arthrospira) platensis (S_(1)) from alkaline lake in Erdos Plateau and the imported S. (A.) platensis (S_(2)) and S. (A.) maxima (S_(3)) as well is made with colorimetric method. The results show that activity of GO (25℃, pH 8.0) of S_(1), S_(2 )and S_(3) is 70.9 U/gFW, 59.6 U/gFW and 80.9 U/gFW respectively; the GO's optimum temperature of S_(1)、S_(2) and S_(3 )is 30℃; the GO's optimum pH value of S_(1 )is 8.6,while that of S_(2 ) 8.2 and that of S_(3) 8.4; the GO of S_(1 )is stable from 0℃ to 35℃ and from pH 7.6 to pH 10.0, while that of S_(2) from 0℃ to 30℃ and from pH 8.0 to pH 9.0 and that of S_(3) from 0℃ to 35℃ and from pH 8.0 to pH 8.6. Adaptive range of S_(1) GO for temperature and pH is wider, and activity at low and high temperature and under strong acidand alkali conditions is higher than that of the imported species.

As the major commercial source of natural rubber,Hevea brasiliensis attracts much attention.However,the heterozygous nature,long breeding cycle are strong limitations for conventional breeding.While genetic engineering,which can be used to widen the germplasm base and produce desirable agronomic traits quickly and efficiently,offers a viable alternative approach to complement traditional breeding.Comprehensive analysis indicates that in the past two decades,with calli derived from immature anther or integumental tissues of immature fruit as receptors,both biolistic and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation methods were employed for developping rubber genotypes with improved latex yield,tolerance to tapping panel dryness syndrome,producing high-value recombinant proteins,etc.Being recalcitrant to tissue culture,the transformation efficiency of Hevea is comparatively low,and the procedures are still needed to optimize.Finally,breeding objectives and strategies to improve transformation efficiency were also proposed in the review.

Objective To compare the results of the three grades pictures affiliated With the Synotophore and to choose the opti- mal pictures for the clinician.Design Retrospective case series.Participants 41 normal persons and 44 cases of intermittent exotropia. Methods All participants were separately examined the three grades function with different kinds and degrees pictures affiliated with the Synotophore.The average radian measured with four sorts of pictures of the first grade function and the average measured with the three sorts of pictures of the second grade function were analysed,the stereoacuity of third grade function was measured with qualitative picture and random dot quantitative picture.Comparison was made between two groups of the people who possessed with stereoacuity. Main Outcome Measures Radians and seconds gained from the pictures affiliated with the Synotophone,Results Synotophore of the superposition of the first grade function:the outcome of using four sorts of pictures to examine the normal persons were 1.47+1.68, 1.21?1.21,1.68?1.60,1.32?1.27,F=0.595,P=0.619;the intermittent exotropias were 8.41?4.30,8.73?4.26,8.45?3.86,8.73?4.28,F= 0.070,P=0.987;the difference was not prominent.The fusion range of the second grade of Synotophore,using three different pictures to examine the normal persons were 26.03?6.17,21.11?6.87,17.21?5.40,F=17.260,P=0.000,the result of the fusion range has direct proportion with the degrees of the pictures,the bigger the picture was,the larger the fusion range,the difference was statistically signif- icant.And there was no significant differences for the intermittent exotropias when examined with the same pictures(21.74?7.43,21.31?7.82,20.32?7.53),F=0.590,P=0.556.The stereoaeuity of the third grade of Synotophore,in the normal person group 85.4% and 100%, X~2=4.877,P=0.027,the results were statistically significant between the qualitative picture and the random dot quantitative picture. About the intermittent exotropia group,no statistically significant differences were detected(72.73% and 59.10%),X~2=1.821,P=0.177. Condusion Choose pictures randomly when examine the first grade function of Synotophore;for the second grade function of Syno- tophore in both groups may choose intergraded degree pictures;the stereoacuity of the third grade of Synotophore,normal group should choose quantitative pictures,while strabismic patients may choose both of them.(Ophthalmol CHN,2008,17:120-122)
