ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum resistin,leptin and adiponectin with microangiopathy in the patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods One hundred and twenty patients with T2DM in our hospital were selected and divided into the non-microangiopathy group (NON-MAP,60 cases) and microangiopathy group (MAP,60 cases) according to whether complicating microangiopathy.Other 60 individuals undergoing healthy physical examination were selected as the normal control group(NC).Fasting serum resistin,adiponectin and leptin levels were detected in each group.Fasting blood glucose,insulin and blood lipid levels were also detected.The insulin resistance was evaluated by using insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR).Results The levels of serum resistin,leptin,free fat acid(FFA) and hs-CRP in the NON-MVP group and MVP group were signifi cantly higher than those in the NC group,while the adiponectin level was sigrnificantly lower than that in the NC group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The correlation analysis showed that serum resistin and leptin levels had positive correlation with hs-CRP,FFA,HOMA-IR and TG(P＜0.05),and had negative correlation with HDL-C(P＜0.05);the adiponectin level was negatively correlated with hs-CRP,FFA,HOMA-IR and TG,while positively correlated with HDL-C(P＜0.05);serum resistin and leptin levels had positive correlation,both had significantly negative correlation with adiponectin;with serum resistin,leptin and adiponectin as the dependent variables,the multiple stepwise linear regression analysis showed that HOMA-IR and waist to hip ratio had maximal influence on them.Conclusion Serum resistin and leptin levels increase and adiponectin level decrease in T2DM patients suggests that serum resistin,leptin and adiponectin are correlated with T2DM occurrence as well as microangiopathy occurrence.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the feasibility of biodegradable covered magnesium alloys stent for a rabbit model of lateral aneurysm in the common carotid artery (CCA). Methods The left CCA was ligated in 20 conventional New Zealand rabbits. MRA of the neck was performed 1 month after ligation. The rabbits with thickening of the right CCA and non-or slight thickening of the bilateral vertebral arteries were selected for lateral aneurysm model making. The venous pouch and the right CCA wall by discontinuous extroversion sutures, to form a lateral aneurysm model. The biodegradable covered magnesium alloys stents or Willis covered stents were inserted two weeks after model making. Angiography was performed prior to the procedure, 3, 6 and 12 months after stent implantation to evaluate the disappearance of the aneurysms and patency of the right CCA. The degradation behaviour is invastagated with molybdenum target 2 weeks, 1, 2, 4, 6,9 and 12 months after stent placement. Results The left CCAs were successful ligated in all rabbits. MRA 1 month after ligation showed thickening of the right CCA and non-thickening of the bilateral vertebral arteries in 17 of 20 rabbits. In these animals, the CCA lateral aneurysm model was deemed successful, and biodegradable covered magnesium alloys stents and Willis covered stents were implanted in 9 and 8 aneurysms, respectively. DSA after biodegradable covered magnesium alloys stent placement displayed disappearance of the aneurysms and patency of the CCA in all 9 rabbits during follow-ups. DSA 3 months after Willis stent placement displayed patency of the CCA in 7 rabbits and occlusion of the artery in one. No occlusion of the right CCA was observed on angiography at 6 and 12 months. The degradation of the biodegradable covered magnesium alloys stent was investigated with molybdenum target during follow-ups, and no changes was observed in Willis covered stent. Conclusion Biodegradable covered magnesium alloys stent is a feasible approach for the treatment of a lateral aneurysm in the right CCA.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of computed tomography guided radiofrequency(RF) ablation of non-small cell lung carcinoma with a clustered electrode.Methods 71 patients were allocated to 2 group:the group A(36 patients) were undergone RF tissue ablation 38 times and analysed image data,tumor size before and after the procedure were compared,the group B(35 patients) were treated with the combined chemotherapy of "FAP" or "CAP".Results The group A thirty-six cases at 10 days,twenty at 30 days,fifteen at 60 days after the ablation,all patients were repeatedly examined by CT scans,respectively.The tumor size was decreased by 20% at 10 days in 69% patients,decreased by 30% at 30 days in 75% patients,decreased by 50% at 60 days in 53% patients and disappeared in 13%,no operative death was noted,the effective rates were 66% in group A and 22 9% in group B respectively(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the clinical application of internal stent in tracheal stenosis.Methods 101 cases of large airway stenosis were treated with the self-expanding Ni-Ti alloy stents through oral cavity(41 cases)or nasal cavity(60 cases) under X-ray guided.Results The placement of Ni-Ti stents in all cases was successful one time.Of 64 cases,tracheal stents were introduced,bronchial stents,tracheal and bronchial stents were set up in 64,20 and 17 cases respectively.Shortness of breath was relieved obviously after process.Conclusion The placement of Ni-Ti stent is an effective and safe method for the treatment of large airway stenosis.
