The relationship between blood pressure and various risk factors were investigated in 54 cases of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) with stepwise regression analysis. After evaluating the influence of age, course, body mass index (BMI), fasting and postprandial blood glucose, serum IRI, C-peptide, HbA1c, plasma lipids (Ch, TG, HDL-C. LDL-C). ApoA1, ApoB2, 24h urine Alb/Cr, NAG/Cr. TRF Cr and RBP/Cr levels on blood pressure, the following results were found: 1) NIDDM patients had a two-fold increased risk of hypertension than normal population. 2) Among the 21 risk factors analysed, 6 variables were strongly correlated with blood pressure, i. e. , age, postprandial blood glucose, serum IRI, blood total cholesterol, 24h urine Alb/Cr and TRF/Cr level. 3) Postprandial hyperglycemia was the most important variable positively correlated with hypertension, followed by 24h urine Alb/Cr and plasma total cholesterol.

This is a retrospective study of 103 cases of early gastric cancer undergoing surgery during the years of 1974-1988 with a special discussion on surgical treatment.The lesions were localized to the mu-cosal layer in 54.3%,to submucosal layer in 45.7%,In 10% of patients there was lymphnode metastasis,all of them were in the first station.Operation consisted of radical subtotal gastrectomy in 94.2%.and total gastrectomy in 5.8%.The extent of lymphatic excision was:Ro in 12.6%,R1 in 61.2% and R2 in 26.2% Postoperative chemotherapy was given in 61.2%.However no statistical difference of 5 years survival rate was found in respect to the extent of lymphatic excision as well as postoperative chemotherapy.Since 60.2% of EGC lesions were of minute,multiple and plane type,preoperattve en-doscopy and intraoperative biopsy of gastric mucosa,if necessary,should be carefully done to ascertain that no lesion was overlooked in the remnant of the stomach.Follow-up rate was 96%,and the survival rates of 3 and 5 years were 97% and 93.7%.This makes the authors believe that a radical operation of R1 is justified and routine postoperative chemotherapy is unnecessary.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum nitric oxide (NO) and bone metabolism in streptozotocin induced early diabetic (STZ DM) rats. Methods Twenty SD rats were divided into 2 groups, 12 STZ DM rats and 8 controls. Fasting blood glucose, HbA 1c , serum insulin, bone mineral density (BMD) (whole body, lumbar and femoral bone), bone metabolic parameters 〔such as serum calcium, vitamin D 3, parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitonin, osteocalcin, and urinary pyridinoline/creatinine〕, as well as serum NO were measured. Results Compared with the controls, serum NO in STZ DM group significantly elevated 〔(51.3?11.9 vs 38.1?12.0)?mol/L, P

To investigate the effect of pancreatic elastase on diabetic nephropathy,104 cases of type Ⅱ diabetic patients were selected as control group and group treated with elastase separately for a course of 6 months.The results showed that pancreatic elastase reduced microproteinuria significantly,especially mi- croalbuminuria and microtransfer rrinuria which reflect the glomerular filtration rate.It was concluded that elastase could improve early diabetic nephropathy and might have some protective effect as well.At the same time,elastase had some good effect on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism.

BACKGROUND:At present, the anatomic reconstruction of coracoclavicular ligament is a trend for the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation. Endobutton plate is a new and effective surgical method found in recent years. Although the recent curative effect is satisfactory, as a method of internal fixation, its rigid fixation does not conform to the requirements of the biomechanics. Furthermore, a randomized control ed clinical study and systematic evaluation are absent.
OBJECTIVE:To systematical y evaluate clinical outcomes and safety between endobutton plate and the other surgical methods for treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation.
METHODCochrane (2014-01), PubMed (1966-01/2014-03), Medline (1966-01/2014-03), EMbase (1984-01/2014-03), CNKI (1979-01/2014-03), VIP (1989-01/2014-03) and Wanfang (1989-01/2014-03) databases were searched by computer. Six Chinese journals about orthopedics were searched by hand. References of relevant literatures were searched. Randomized control ed trials that were related to different surgical methods for the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation were col ected. In accordance with inclusion criteria, some literatures were included and their qualities were assessed strictly. Meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.2 software from the Cochrane Col aboration.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Final y 7 published studies with randomized control ed trials met al the inclusion criteria. A total of 359 patients were included, containing 152 cases of endobutton plates fixation, 149 cases of clavicle hook plate fixation, and 58 cases of screw fixation. Except two researches addressed the comparison among three surgical ways, the remaining were about two ways. Meta-analysis showed that the excellent rate was better in endobutton plates fixation than in clavicle hook plate fixation (P=0.0002) and in screw fixation (P=0.009). Compared with other fixation methods, there were significant differences in shoulder joint pain (P=0.01), but no significant difference was detected in operation time, upper limb muscle strength, bleeding amount, redislocation and surgical wound infection (P=0.44, P=0.10, P=0.37, P=0.21, P=0.96). Results indicated that, the efficiency of endobutton plates fixation for acromioclavicular joint dislocation was better than clavicle hook plate fixation and screw fixation, and caused less shoulder pain than clavicle hook plate fixation. There was no significant difference in operation time, upper limb muscle strength, bleeding amount, redislocation and surgical wound infection among the three methods. Due to the limited number of cases in this study, the multicenter, large-sample and long-term clinical randomized control ed studies are needed to increase the strength of the evidence.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels are crucial for bone and cartilage development and regeneration at a celular level. Insufficient quantity and functional impairment of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels is widely considered to be one of osteoarthritis causes. OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between the functional status of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and disease progression in osteoarthritis patients.METHODS: Thirty patients with osteoarthritis were enroled from July 2013 to October 2014, and divided into control, mild osteoarthritis, and severe osteoarthritis groups, with 10 cases in each group. 5 mL bone marrow from the femur or tibia was extracted from each patient to isolate and culture bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. Proliferation ability of cels at passage 3 was detected using cel counting kit-8; toluidine blue staining was performed at 14 days after chondrogenic induction; real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of Aggrecan and Col2A1 in the control group after chondrogenic induction. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Afterin vitro culture, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels grew adherently in polygonal and fusiform shape with multiple processes at uniform size. The cytoplasm contained larger particles and the nuclei were ovoid. Most of cels were in cel division phase. The proliferation ability was strongest in the control group and weakest in the severe osteoarthritis group. Cels from the three groups were al at plateau phase after 1 week culture. At 14 days after chondrogenic induction, the cels were polygonal and quasi-circular, and purple metachromatic granules distributed outside of the cytoplasm. The expression of Aggrecan and Col2A1 in the control group displayed an overexpression trend. These findings indicate that the functional status of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels from osteoarthritis patients is negatively correlated with the severity of disease, which can influence the disease progression in osteoarthritis patients.

Objective After acute craniocerebral trauma , to a certain extent , arterial blood lactate and lactate clearance rate reflect the illness severity .We aimed to investigate the prognosis value of arterial blood lactate and lactate clearance rate in patients with craniocerebral trauma . Methods 94 cases with craniocerebral trauma treated in the Department of Emergency of Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Regionfrom February 2015 to November 2015 were retrospecively analysed .GCS ( Glasgow Coma Scale ) score, arterial blood lactate , blood pressureand heart rate were measured once patients admitted to hospital and 6 hours later ,arterial blood lactate was measured again to calculated the arterial blood lac-tate clearance rate .Based on the GCS score , we divided the patients into mild group (13-15), medium group (9-12) and severe group (3-8).We also divided the patients into death group and survival group according toprognosis .We compared arterial blood lactate and lactate clearance rate betweeeneach group respectively . Results There were significant differences in arterial blood lactate (F=19.99,P<0.01) and 6h lactate clearance rate(F=6.21,P<0.01)be-tween lighter group , medium group and severe group .The initial arterial blood lactate of death group was significantly higher than sur-vival group[(4.20 ±1.36)mmol/L vs (1.58 ±0.93)mmol/L], the difference was statistically significant (t=-9.78,P<0.01). The 6 h lactate clearance rate of death group was significantly lower than survival group [(31.73 ±12.84)%vs (46.25 ±12.01)%], the difference was statistically significant (t=4.55,P<0.01). Conclusion Arterial blood lactate and 6 h lactate clearance rate can evaluate the severity and prognosisof illnessin patients with craniocerebral traumaand have important application value in clinical work .

Objective To explore the effects of intestinal trefoil factor ( ITF) on gastric mucosal epithelial cell proliferation and its possible molecular mechanism . Methods The cultured GES-1 cells were treated with ITF in the concentration of 100 ng/mL and 500 ng/mL in vitro, and then were observed using microscope for the morphological analysis .The Cell Counting Kit-8 ( CCK-8) was used to detect the proliferation activity of GES-1.The cultured GES-1 cells were treated with 100 ng/mL ITF and the specific inhibitor of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway LY294002 (15μmol/L) in vitro, and then were observed using microscope for the morphological analysis . The proliferation activity of treated GES-1cells was detected using CCK-8 and the expressions of p-Akt and Akt of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway were determined by Western blot . Results Compared with the control group , the proliferation activity of GES-1 cells in-creased after being treated with ITF and the higher concentration of ITF induced the higher proliferation activity .LY294002 inhibited the increased proliferation activity of GES-1induced by ITF.The data of Western blot indicated that ITF induced the expression of p -Akt and activated the P3IK/Akt signaling pathway to modulate the proliferation activity of GES -1 cells.However, LY294002 inhibited the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and then decreased the proliferation activity of GES -1 cells. Conclusion ITF could promote the proliferation ac-tivity of GES-1 cells by activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway .

Objective To investigate the clinical value of the simple clinical score (SCS) in Emergency Department.Methods A total of 655 patients with critically illness admitted from July 1,2011through August 31,2011 were enrolled to evaluate the clinical application of SCS in emergency rescue room by analysis of the relationship between SCS and outcome of patients,and the correlation between each factor of SCS and the risk of death. Results The higher SCS,the higher hazard ratio for death.Differences in the hazard ratio for death among groups with different scores of SCS were statistical significance ( P ＜ 0.01 ).According to Chi-square test,there were significant differences in each factor ( except body temperature &unable standing or need Home Health Aide) among the groups of SCS ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Binary logistic regression analysis of each factor showed that age,diabetes,coma,pulse,systolic pressure and respiratory rate had significant correlation with patient mortality. After logistic regression analysis,age,diabetes,coma,pulse,systolic pressure and respiratory rate are significantly related to the mortality of patients.Conclusions The SCS scoring system is useful to make a precise evaluation of critically ill patients in the emergency department.When emergency rescue is carried out,particular stress should be focused on age,diabetes,coma,pulse,systolic pressure and respiratory rate.

Objective Though paraquat (PQ) is highly toxic, there is still no effective treatment for PQ poisoning .The aim of the article was to study the protective effect and mechanism of the p 38 mitogen-activated protein kinase ( MAPK) inhibitor SB203580 on PQ-induced acute lung injury in rats . Methods 72 SD rats were randomly divided into three groups ( n=24 ): normal saline (NS) group, PQ poisoning group and p38 inhibitor SB203580 intervention (PQ+SB) group.The arterial blood gas analysis, lung wet and dry ratio (W/D),the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), the superoxide dismutase (SOD) level and the pathological changes of lung tissues were recorded at different time points after drug intervention . Results On the 1st , 3rd, 5th days after drug intervention in PQ group, the alveolo-arterial oxygen partial pressure difference (PA-aO2) [(45.67 ±4.17), (68.78 ±6.63), (80.23 ±7.12 ) mmHg ], the lung tissue TNF-αexpression (14.63 ±3.10], [18.24 ±2.98], [16.22 ±2.79] pg/mg) and W/D ([4.931 ±0.034], [5.020 ±0.064], [5.079 ±0.016]) in-creased gradually to a peak on the 3rd day, while the SOD level de-creased respectively on the 1st , 3rd, 5th days after drug intervention ([175.26 ±7.98], [167.57 ±8.05], [160.24 ±6.78] U/ug) (P<0.05).Compared with PQ group, PQ+SB group got a decrease in the PA-aO2([80.23 ±7.12] vs [44.17 ±4.16]), the lung tissue TNF-αexpression ([16.22 ±2.79] vs [9.48 ±2.72]) and W/D ([4.805 ±0.070] vs [5.079 ±0.016]) (P<0.05), while the pulmonary SOD level increased in comparison with PQ group ([125.89 ±6.65] vs [160.24 ±6.78]) (P<0.05). Conclusion The p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580 plays a certain protective role in PQ-induced acute lung injury by reducing inflammation and improving antioxidant capacity .
