Objective:Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology is used to compare the advantages of insulin degludec (IDeg) as a basal insulin regimen compared with insulin glargine (IGlar) in the treatment of adult type 1 diabetes mellitus.Methods:30 adult patients with T1DM admitted to Heji Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from September 2019 to December 2020 were screened. According to the random number table method, the patients were randomly divided into two groups (insulin degludec group and insulin glargine group) at a ratio of 1∶1, respectively treated with IDeg, IGlar and aspartate insulin for 12 weeks. The main outcome measures were the coefficient of variation of blood glucose (CV), mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), time in range (TIR), time above range (TAR) and time below range (TBR). The secondary outcome measures were mean blood glucose (MBG), standard deviation of blood glucose (SD), fasting blood glucose (FPG), 2 h postprandial blood glucose (2 h BG), hemoglobin A1c (HbA 1c), means of daily differences (MOOD), and the frequency of hypoglycemic events. Results:At 12 weeks of treatment, the HbA 1c, FPG, 2 h BG, MBG, SD, CV and MAGE of insulin degludec group were lower than those of insulin glargine group, with statistically significant difference (all P<0.05). The TIR in the insulin degludec group was significantly higher than that in the insulin glargine group [73(63, 75)% vs 43(28, 63)%, P<0.001], and the TAR was lower than that in the glycerine group [25(17, 23)% vs 35(33, 64)%, P=0.003]. From the curve spectrum of blood glucose level of the two groups, the stability of blood glucose in the insulin degludec group was better than that in the insulin glargine group. After 12 weeks of treatment, 8 cases (8/15) in insulin degludec group had HbA 1c<7.0%, and 4 cases (4/15) in insulin glargine group had HbA 1c<7.0%, without statistically significant difference ( P=0.264). There were 7 cases (7/15) in the insulin degludec group and 1 case (1/15) in the insulin glargine group who achieved high quality blood glucose control, with statistically significant difference ( P=0.035). At the 12th week of outpatient follow-up, the incidence of nocturnal hypoglycemic events in insulin degludec group was significantly lower than that in insulin glargine group (4/15 vs 11/15, P=0.027). Conclusions:Compared with insulin glargine, insulin degludec can achieve higher blood glucose compliance rate, lower blood glucose level and reduce blood glucose fluctuations in patients with type 1 diabetes.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Dendrobium officinale polysaccharides on gene expression profile of HUVEC. METHODS: HUVEC was selected as objects. MTS method was used to detect the effects of different doses of D. officinale polysaccharides (50, 100, 200, 400, 800 μg/mL) on the proliferation activity of HUVEC. The growth inhibitory concentration of 30% cells (IC30) was calculated to screen the dose of follow-up tests. cDNA microarray assay was used to detect the changes of gene expression profile for HUVEC after treated with D. officinale polysaccharides for 24 h, so as to screen differentially expressed genes. GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed for top 5 differentially expressed genes by using DAVID bioinformatics resource database. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to validate the results of microarray detection with immunity-related differentially expressed genes as objects. RESULTS: After treated with 100, 200, 400, 800 μg/mL D. officinale polysaccharides, survival rate of HUVEC were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). IC30 value was 408 μg/mL. After treated with 400 μg/mL (by IC30) D. officinale polysaccharides, there were 91 differentially expressed genes in HUVEC cells, of which 84 were up-regulated and 7 were down-regulated. Top 5 genes of up-regulated and down- regulated expression were SELE, CCL2, CXCL6, IL8, ICAM1 as well as VWCE, CPT1A, CLU, CCL14, CINS4, which may be mainly associated with immune conditions and inflammatory responses. The differentially expressed genes mainly distributed in extracellular domain, and were enriched in biological processes such as production and response of cytokines and stimulus response, and played molecular functions such as chemokine and its receptor activity. The up-regulated genes as SELE, ICAM1 and CXCL2 were mainly enriched in TNF signaling pathway, influenza A (H1N1), herpes simplex virus infection and other pathways. The down-regulated gene CCL14 was mainly enriched in chemokine signaling pathway. Results of qRT-PCR validation tests showed that relative expression of ICAM1 was increased significantly, while that of CCL14 was decreased significantly (P<0.05), which was in agreement with microarray detection results. CONCLUSIONS: After treated with D. officinale polysaccharides, the expression of 91 genes in HUVEC cells are different significantly, mainly being up-regulated. The differentially expressed genes may participate in immune regulation through TNF signaling pathway, influenza A (H1N1) and herpes simplex virus infection.

Objective To investigate the biosecurity and biocompatibility of small intestinal submucosa (SIS) as scaffold for tissue engineering and to explore the possibility to induce synovial mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs) differentiate into cartilage with SIS as the scaffold and SMSCs as the seed cells. Methods The SMSCs were isolated and cultured from the synovial mem-brane of knee joints of rabbits by a conventional method. The SIS was harvested from pigs according to the physical method and Abraham's method. 4 rabbits are divided into the experimental group and control group. The biosecurity of SIS as scaf-folds were investigated in pyrogen test, skin sensitization test and systemic toxicity test. The SMSCs and SIS were co-cultured in vitro and induced to differentiate into cartilage to explore the biocompatibility of SMSCs and SIS, the proliferation and differ-entiation ability of SMSCs on the scaffold of SIS. The varietyies were identified by the microscope. Results The SIS isolated with the physical method and Abraham's method is a milky and translucent membrane with a smooth surface. Under the electron microscope, SIS presented a porous Stereoscopic three-dimensional network structure, which is formed by fibrous tissues' intertex-ture. Its' porosity was about 80%and its aperture was 100-200μm. Meanwhile, the biosecurity and biocompatibility of SIS were also fine. In the trial that the SMSCs and SIS were co-cultured in vitro, the SMSCs can grow, adhere to and differentiate on the sur-face of SIS and into the hollows very well. It can also secrete extracellular matrix. Through scanning microscope observation, cells contact with each other by their neuritis, or adhered to the wall of hole by cellular protrution. On the surface of SIS, the SMSCs maintain the property that it can easily differentiate into the chondrogenic lineage in the chondrogenic medium. Immunochemistry staining showed positive expression of type II collagen post 21 days of co-cultrue. Conclusion SIS can be used as the scaffold to construct tissue engineering meniscus as it has good biosecurity and biocompatibility with SMSCs without disturbing the cell form or inhibiting the growth and function of SMSCs.

BACKGROUND:Smal intestinal submucosa is characterized as antimicrobial activity, good biocompatibility, bio-mechanical properties, and rapid degradation in vivo, similar to the extracellular matrix of meniscal
fibrochondrocytes.
OBJECTIVE:To observe whether there exists a good histocompatibility between smal intestinal submucosa and synovial mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS:Smal intestinal submucosa was treated with physical and chemical treatment. And hematoxylin-eosin staining and scanning electron microscopy observation were performed. Then, smal intestinal submucosa extracts were prepared for the fol owing experiments. (1) Pyrogenic test:smal intestinal submucosa extracts were injected into the ear vein of New Zealand white rabbits. (2) Skin sensitization test:smal intestinal submucosa extracts, paraformaldehyde solution and normal saline were respectively injected intradermal y into New Zealand white rabbits. (3) General toxicity test:smal intestinal submucosa extracts and normal saline were respectively injected into the ear vein of New Zealand white rabbits. Smal intestinal submucosa was co-cultured with osteogenic rabbit synovial mesenchymal stem cells, and smal intestinal submucosa cultured alone served as control. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were some intestinal mucosal epithelial cells, fat cells and other cells adhered onto the surface of smal intestinal submucosa after physical treatment. While, the amount of residual cells decreased sharply after chemical treatment. But the main structure and the component had not been changed. The surface of smal intestinal submucosa was smooth and no cells remained, and there was a three-dimension network spatial structure. The porosity was 80%. Smal intestinal submucosa is a non-toxic, nonirritating, non-immunogenic biomaterial with very good biocompatibility, which has a good histocompatibility with rabbit synovial mesenchymal stem cells.
