Objective To investigate the incidence and influence factors of chronic complications of inpa-tients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and to provide reference for the comprehensive prevention and treat-ment. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted to analyze the occurrence and development of chronic complications of T2DM hospitalized patients in a third-level first-class hospital of Ningxia from January to Decem-ber in 2015.Results All of the 739 T2DM patients,the total incidence of chronic complications was 74.6%.The top five chronic diseases were large vessel disease,renal disease,retinopathy,peripheral vascular disease and neuropathy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of disease(OR = 1.004,95% CI:1.002~1.006)and occupation(taking workers as controls,farmers' OR =3.122,95% CI:1.420~6.861,unem-ployed persons' OR=2.771,95% CI:1.389~5.527)were the independent risk factors of chronic complications of T2DM.Conclusions The total incidence of chronic complications of T2DM is high.We should strengthen the com-prehensive intervention of controllable risk factors for reducing the incidence of complications,decreasing medical costs and enhancing overall quality of life of patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of simvastatin preconditioning on the expression of inducible and endothelial nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS,eNOS) in thoracic aorta in a rat model of sepsis.Methods Eighty pathogen-free female Wistar rats aged 4 months weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 4 groups:group normal control (group Ⅰ,n =8) ; group sham operation (group Ⅱ,n =8) ; group sepsis (group Ⅲ,n =32) and group simvastatin preconditioning (group Ⅳ,n =32).Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ.In group Ⅳ simvastatin 20 mg/kg was given via a gastric tube once a day for 2 weeksbefore CLP.The thoracic aorta specimens were taken at 3,6,24 and 48 h after CLP (n =8 at each time point)for detection of iNOS and eNOS protein expression by Western blot analysis.ResultsCLP significantly up-regulated iNOS expression and down-regulated eNOS expression in group Ⅲ as compared with groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ.Simvastatin pretreatment significantly attenuated CLP-induced increase in iNOS expression and decrease in eNOS expression in group Ⅳ as compared with group Ⅲ.ConclusionSimvastatin preconditioning can protect vascular endothelial cells from septic injury by down-regulating iNOS expression and up-regulating eNOS expression in vascular endothelial cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of simvastatin on endothelial cell function in a rat model of sepsis. Methods Ninety-six pathogen-free female Wistar rats aged 4 months weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 32 each): group sham operation (group Ⅰ ); group sepsis (group Ⅱ )and group simvastatin + sepsis(group Ⅲ ) . Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). In group Ⅲ simvastatin 20 mg/kg was given via a gastric tube once a day for 2 weeks. Blood samples were taken from carotid artery at 3,6, 24 and 48 h ( n = 8 at each time point) for WBC count and measurement of serum E-selectin concentration (by ELISA) . Results CLP significantly increased WBC count and serum E-selectin concentration in group Ⅱ as compared with group Ⅰ . The peak values were reached at 6 h after operation. Simvastatin pretreatment attenuated the sepsis-induced increase in WBC count and serum E-selectin concentration in group Ⅲ. Conclusion Protection of endothelial cell function is involved in the mechanism of treatment of sepsis with simvastatin.

Objective To explore the clinical application of blood perfusion quantitatively by contrastenhanced ultrasonography(CEUS) to grade cerebral gliomas during operation. Methods Thirty-one patients with cerebral gliomas were examined by CEUS with Sonoliver software during operation. Maximum intensity (IMAX), time to peak (TTP), rising time (RT) and mean transit time(mTT) of the regions of interest (ROIs) of normal brain tissue and high- and low-grade gliomas were respectively determined and comparatively analyzed. Results Fifteen high-grade gliomas and sixteen low-grade gliomas were postoperatively confirmed by pathologic results. The administration of contrast agent led to higher echo enhancement in cerebral gliomas than normal brain tissues in all cases. The TTP of high- and low-grade gliomas were significantly shorter than that of normal cerebral tissues ( P ＜0.05) ,and the mTT was longer than that of normal brain tissue( P ＜0. 05). There was significant differences of IMAX and TTP between high- and low-grade gliomas(P ＜0.05), but there was no significant difference of RT and mTT between the two groups ( P ＞0.05). Conclusions CEUS with quantitative analysis software on blood perfusion of the tumors can provide valuable information to grade cerebral gliomas.

To study the protective effects of salidroside on oxidative damage in fatigue mice.

To study the effect of soybean isoflavone on liver oxidative stress resulting from 60Co-gamma rays. Methods: Totally 80 normal female Kunming mice were evenly randomized into 5 groups according to body weight: 3 intervention groups, single irradiation group and normal control group. The normal group and single irradiation groups were given 0.5% CMC-Na, and the 3 intervention groups were given different doses of soybean isoflavone (50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg) respectively for 14 d. The whole body of single irradiation group and intervention groups were subjected to 4.56 Gy 60Co-γ radiation once on the 7th day, and then the mice were killed on the 2nd day and the 7th day after radiation. Results: The CAT activity of liver tissue of 100,400 mg/kg intervention groups and 3 SI groups were significantly increased on the 2nd day and 7th day after irradiation(P<0.05), respectively; the GSH-Px activity of 100 mg/kg SI group was significantly increased(P<0.05) on the 7th day after irradiation; the T-SOD activity of 50 mg/kg SI group was significantly decreased (P<0.05) on the 2nd day after irradiation,while no difference was observed among remaining groups. The MDA content of 100 mg/kg group was significantly decreased on the 7th day after radiation compared with control group, and MDA content of each group subjected to irradiation were increased on the 2nd day after irradiation,but 3 SI groups nearly decreased to normal level on the 7th day after irradiation. Conclusion: The soybean isoflavone can enhance the antioxidant capability of mice, but it does not show a dose-effect relationship.

Objective: To study the effect and possible mechanism of Ginsenoside Rg1 in sports CNS fatigue and dose-response relationship.Methods: Kun Ming male mice were divided randomly into 6 groups: control group and five different doses groups(5,10,20,40,80 mg/kg).They were treated orally with Ginsenoside Rg1 for 2 weeks.The levels of amino acids of brain tissue were tested after swimming for 90 min and the exhaustive swimming time were recorded.Results: The levels of BCAA and the ratio of BCAA/AAA in groups 5,10 and 20 mg/kg were significantly higher than control group and the levels of AAA in groups 5,10,20 and 40 mg/kg were significantly decreased.The exhaustive swimming time in groups 5,10 and 20 mg/kg were much longer than in control group.Conclusion: Through adjusting the ratio of BCAA and AAA and decreasing the level of excitatory amino acids neurotransmitter,Ginsenoside Rg1 can elevate movement ability and resist against CNS fatigue.The roles of mid-low and low doses may be better.

Objective:To observe the protective effect of tremella polysaccharides (TP) on mouse aging model induced by D-galactose. Methods: Forty male ICR mice were divided into 5 groups (Group A: treated with 800 mg/kg TP; Group B: treated by 400 mg/kg TP; Group C: treated by 200 mg/kg TP; Group D: aging control; Group E: normal control). Except for Group E,other groups were injected with D-galactose [120 mg/(kg?d)] for 60 d to establish subacute aging model. Group A,B and C were treated with 800,400 and 200 mg/kg TP respectively via intragastric (i.g.) administration. Sixty days later,the spleen,heart, kidney and brain were collected to determine MDA, LP, SOD, GSH-Px and contents of hydroxyproline by colorimetry. Expression of P21 in the kidney were detected by immunohischemical technique. Proliferation and transformation of spleen lymphocytes induced by ConA were determined by MTT method. Results: Antioxidants SOD and GSH-Px activity of TP treated groups were higher than aging control group (P
