ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate and analyze the accuracy and correlation between the fast blood glucose meter and the bio-chemical analyzer in detecting blood glucose level.Methods 500 cases of blood glucose detection in the hospital from March 2011 to March 2013 were collected and divided into 3 groups according to the blood sugar level.The fast blood glucose meter and the bio-chemical analyzer were adopted to measure and record the blood sugar level.The differences in the measured results were compared between the two methods.Results According to the the glucose POCT application criteria issued by US National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards(NCCLS)2002,among 15 fast blood glucose meters,4 blood glucose meters were in the high blood glucose level and 1 meter was in the low blood glucose level,all exceeded the required range.Conclusion The blood glucose meter can quickly provide the blood glucose values,but when the blood glucose level is high,the detection results have large difference, which should be paid much attention in clinc.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of sever acute pancreatitis (SAP) with high triglyceride(TG). Methods 82 patients with onset of SAP within 72 hours were involved in this study. These patients were divided into high TG group (n=26) and normal TG group (n=56) according to serum TG lev-els tested (high TG group≥1.7 mmoL/L;normal TG group<1.7 mmol/L on admission). Results 31.71% (26/82) SAP patients were discovered with high TG APACHE-Ⅱ grade of high TG group was higher than that of normal TG group on admission[(14.62±7.58) vs (10.68±5.21),P<0.01]. Within the onset of 72 hours,the incidence of cardiac,pulmonary and kidney dysfunction in high TG group was higher than those of normal TG group (34.62%,34.62% and 19.23% vs 5.36%,3.57% and 1.79%,P<0.01),and the incidence of pancreatic pseudocysts was higher in high TG group than that of normal group(42.31% vs 7.14%,P<0.01). No emergency and early-stage surgical cases in high TG group but 13 cases(23.21%) in normal group. There were 2 cases of high TG group and 4 of normal group averting to operation. Conclusion SAP patients with high TG have high incidence of early-stage organ dysfunction and local complication,in this case nonsurgical intervention is the first choice.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the inhalation of sulfur dioxide (SO(2)) on the DNA damage of brain cells in mammalian animals.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Single cell microgel electrophoresis technique (comet test) was used to test the DNA damage of brain cells.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) After the exposure to SO(2) at 0, 7, 14, 28 mg/m(3), the tail lengths of nuclear DNA in brain cells from male mice were 8.02, 23.14, 46.43 and 53.49 micro m respectively; and that from female mice were 7.23, 12.43, 20.39 and 54.83 micro m respectively. The results showed that: (1) SO(2) inhalation caused damage on DNA of brain cells in a dose-dependent manner; (2) Even under lower concentration of SO(2) as 7 mg SO(2)/m(3), the damage on DNA of brain cells was also reached to 98.8%. It implied that the brain cells of mammalian animals were very sensitive to SO(2) inhalation; (3) The DNA damage of brain cells from male mice is more serious than that from female mice. The reasons remain to be further studied.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>SO(2) pollution even at lower concentrations also had a potential risk to the genetic material DNA of brain cells from mammalian animals. The results of our study might explain the recently published epidemiological studies that the workers exposed to SO(2) or SO(2) derivatives had suffered an increase of mortality from brain cancer.</p>
