Objective: To explore therapeutic effect of statins on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.Methods: Clinical data of 103 T2DM patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, who were treated in our hospital from Oct 2013 to Dec 2015, were retrospectively studied.According to usage of statins or not, patients were divided into routine treatment group (n=50,didn't use statins) and statin group (n=53,received statins based on routine treatment), both groups were treated for one year.Blood lipid levels before and after treatment, and incidence of cardio-and cerebrovascular events during treatment were measured and compared between two groups.Results: Compared with before treatment, after treatment, there were significant reductions in levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and significant rise in level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in statin group(P<0.01 all).Compared with routine treatment group after treatment, there were significant reductions in levels of TG [(2.13±0.37) mmol/L vs.(1.74±0.41) mmol/L], TC [(5.38±0.45) mmol/L vs.(4.34±0.73) mmol/L] and LDL-C [(3.63±0.72) mmol/L vs.(2.55±0.61) mmol/L], and significant rise in HDL-C level [(0.95±0.31)mmol/L vs.(1.34±0.35)mmol/L] in statin group, P<0.01 all.During one-year treatment, incidence rate of cardio-and cerebrovascular events in statin group was significantly lower than that of routine treatment group (18.18% vs.56.67%), P=0.002.Conclusion: Statins could effectively correct abnormal lipid metabolism and reduce risk of cardio-and cerebrovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated atherosclerosis cardiovascular diseases.

Objective To discuss the role of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-DPKCS) in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549) by using small interfering RNA (siRNA) to specifically knockdown DNA-DPKCS expression and its effects on cell proliferation, cell cycle and radio-sensitivity. Methods The DNA-DPKCS-siRNA expression vector was constructed and transfected into A549 cell line. The transformed clones were randomly selected and isolated. The cell cycle distribution and apop-tesis were analyzed by flowcytometry analysis. Cell survival was detected by using clonogenic formation as-say. Results With specific inhibition of DNA-DPKCS expression, stable transfected cell line 549pRNA-DNA-DPKCS was constructed by RNA interference technique. The 549pRNA-C and 549pSUPER cell lines were the control cell lines tansfected with control and blank plasmids, respectively. Compared with A549 cells, the expression levels of DNA-DPKCS mRNA (0.110: 1. 000), protein (0. 870: 2.967) and activity of DNA-DPKCS (0.004: 0.266) in 549pRNA-DNA-DPKCS cells were significantly lower (F = 80.55 ,P < 0.01;F=63.96, P<0.01;F=51.62,P<0.01, respectively). The analysis of SF_2(0.25:0.76), D_0 (1.42:1.62) and D_q (0.06: 1. 00) showed significant difference between 549pRNA-DNA-DPKCS and A549 cells (F = 996.86, P < 0.01 ; F = 17.41, P < 0.05 ; F = 68.92, P < 0.01). The number of 549pRNA-DNA-DPKCS cells in S (24.5%: 35.5%) and G_2 (10.7%: 11.0%) phases was significantly decreased (F = 4.83, P<0.05 and F=32.04, P <0.01, respectively). Conclusions In A549 cells, inhibit of DNA-DPKCS gene expression can enhance the radiosensitivity and affect cell cycle distribution.

Objective To evaluate the effects of KIM-1 on high glucose induced the expression of MCP-1 and FN in rat tubular epithelial cells and to explore the possible mechanisms of KIM-1 involved in renal interstitial fibrosis of DN.Methods The rat renal tubular epithelial cells (NRK52E) were cultured in vitro and divided into five groups:Normal control group (D-glucose 5.6 mmol/L),Hypertonic group (D-glucose 5.6 mmol/L + D-mannitol 24.4 mmol/L),High glucose group (Dglucose 30 rmmol/L),Control siRNA group,KIM-1 siRNA group.ELISA assay was used to assess the levels of MCP-1 and FN in the cells supernatant; Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of KIM-1; RT-PCR was used to detect mRNA expression of KIM-1,MCP-1 and FN.Results Compared with the control group,the protein and mRNA expression of KIM-1 in the high glucose group were increased at 12 h (P ＜ 0.05),and reached the peak at 48 h (P ＜ 0.05); the protein and mRNA expression of MCP-1 and FN in high glucose group were increased at 24 h significantly (P ＜ 0.05),and peaked at 48 h (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the high glucose group,the protein and mRNA expressions of MCP-1 and FN in KIM-1 siRNA group were decreased (P＜0.05).Conclusions Down-regulating the expression of KIM-1 can significantly inhibit the expression of MCP-1 and FN,which suggests that KIM-1 may be involved in renal interstitial fibrosis of DN by regulating expression of MCP-1 and FN.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the tumor differentiation and the related pathologic factors in Esophago-gastric junction adenocarcinoma. Methods The pathological data from 163 patients of Esophago-gastric junction adenocarcinoma underwent radical surgical resections were randomly divided two groups (group1: well-differentiated,group2: poor-differentiated).

The differences were significantly different(Ps ＜ 0. 01).Conclusions The tumor differentiation has significant effect on N stages,T stages,vessel carcinoma embolus,tumor size and the number of metastases lymph nodes in Esophago-gastric junction adenocarcinoma.

Objective:Scope review of exercise-related research in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), while pointing out the limitations of existing research, and providing references for future studies in this area.Methods:We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of science, Cochrane databases, China Biology Medicine, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang Data, and Chinese Science Journal Database for studies related to exercise intervention in patients with IBD from January 1974 to July 2020. We extracted data from the included studies. Then we summarized and presented the results.Results:16 articles were finally included, of which 14 were randomized controlled trials and 2 were quasi-experimental studies. Results show that exercise methods can be divided into four categories: aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, flexibility exercise and mixed exercise. The intensity of exercise was mostly low to moderate. The frequency of exercise was mostly 3 times/week, lasting for 30-60 minutes per session. The results showed that exercise had positive effects on physical fitness, bone density, anxiety and depression, quality of life among patients with IBD. However, the effect of exercise on disease activity are diverse.Conclusion:exercise is beneficial to the mental and physical health among this group, but the existing studies have small sample sizes, short exercise intervention period, neglect of individualization in exercise prescription design, low exercise compliance, non-uniformity of exercise effect evaluation indicators.
