ABSTRACT
Objective:Using 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (24h-UNa) as the surrogate measure of sodium intake, to evaluate the joint association of 24h-UNa and serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OHD) levels with the risk of albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:This retrospective study included 670 hospitalized T2DM cases in the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to October 2021. Patients were divided into the albuminuria-positive group or negative-group according to the level of 24-hour urinary albumin excretion (24h-UAE); They were also divided into the high-sodium group or low-sodium group according to the level of 24h-UNa; Patients were divided into the low-VD group or high-VD group according to the level of 25-OHD. Combining 24h-UNa and 25-OHD, the patients were further divided into four groups: high-VD low-sodium group ( n=85), high-VD high-sodium group ( n=122), low-VD low-sodium group ( n=248), and low-VD high-sodium group ( n=215). The effect of 24h-UNa and 25-OHD association on albuminuria was analyzed by binary regression. Results:There were significant differences in 24h-UAE level among the four groups ( P<0.01), the level of 24h-UAE in the low-VD high-sodium group was significantly higher than that in low-VD low-sodium group, high-VD low-sodium group, and high-VD high-sodium group [39.00(13.00, 319.00)mg/24 h vs 22.00(10.00, 99.00)mg/24 h, 22.00(9.00, 72.50)mg/24 h, 22.45(9.69, 72.75)mg/24 h; P=0.047, P=0.019, P=0.030]. Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between 24h-UNa and 24h-UAE in the low-VD group ( P=0.017), but not in the high-VD group ( P=0.411). Binary regression analyses showed that both 24h-UNa ( P=0.017) and 25-OHD( P=0.023) were independent risk factors for positive albuminuria in patients with T2DM. The risk of positive albuminuria in the low-VD high-sodium group was 1.789 times higher than that in the high-VD low-sodium group ( P=0.037). Conclusion:24h-UAE in T2DM patients was affected by the combination of 24h-UNa and 25-OHD. A low level of 25-OHD increased the risk of albuminuria in high sodium intake T2DM patients.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To provide reference for the c onstruction of subject diagnosis and treatment scheme in drug clinical trials. METHODS ：The subject diagnosis and treatment module was developed and implemented in our hospital on the basis of CTMS，and its effects were evaluated. RESULTS ：A subject diagnosis and treatment module was established in CTMS of our hospital. Within one year from the launch of the module in the middle of October ，2019，the overall number of subjects in the group showed an increasing trend ，and the overall mean dropout rate of subjects was 0.16％.

Since the launch of the module ，the amount of data generated by the interface had been increasing ，and the number of departments producing the subject diagnosis and treatment business had been increasing month by month. Compared with subject diagnosis and treatment project based on HIS system ，the number of subject diagnosis and treatment business based on CTMS system was increased significantly（P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：The subject diagnosis and treatment module based on CTMS improves the efficiency of subject diagnosis and treatment project implementation and financial settlement ，and realizes the efficient implementation of drug clinical trial projects in large general hospitals.
ABSTRACT
Objective To use the enzyme linked immunosorbent (ELISA)to detect the hepatitis B virus (HBV)markers,and to perform the HBsAg quantitation and the HBV load detection for understanding the HBV carrying and viral replication situation when single HBcAb positive or both HBcAb and HBeAb positive.Methods The HBV markers HBsAg,HBsAb,HBeAg,HBeAb and HBcAb were detected with ELISA.1 098 cases of HBcAb positive,966 cases of both HBeAb and HBcAb positive and 832 cases of all HBV markers negative as control were selected and quantitatively re-detected HBsAg by using the chemiluminescence meth-od.The HBV load was detected by using the PCR method.Results Among 1 098 cases of single HBcAb positive,436 cases (39.7%)of HBsAg quantitation and 230 cases (20.9%)of PCR-DNA were detected out respectively;among 966 cases of both HBeAb and HBcAb positive,387 cases(40.1 %)of HBsAg quantitation and 212 cases(21.9%)of PCR-DNA were detected out re-spectively;among 832 cases of all HBV markers negative,6 case (0.7%)of HBsAg quantitation and 4 case (0.5%)of PCR-DNA were detected out respectively,there were statistically significantly differences among them (P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Adopting ELISA for detecting HBV markers,when single HBeAb positive or both HBcAb and HBeAb positive,HBsAg and the viral replica-tion are still be detected out,which needs to conduct further detection in order to avoid the medical risk due to the missed detection.
ABSTRACT
Disabled-2 [Dab2] is an important endocytic adaptor which plays an inhibition role in cancer cell growth. The objective of this study was to systematically review expressions of Dab2 in human cancers. Eligible studies about Dab2 in human cancers were retrieved from databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science. Odds Ratios [ORs] with 95% confidence intervals [CIs] were calculated using Review Manager 5.0 software and statistical analyses were performed by the SPSS 13.0 software. Fourteen case-control studies with a total of 689 human tumor tissues, 332 control tissues and 32 cancer cell lines were included in the meta-analysis study. The results indicated loss expressions of Dab2 were observed in 74.9% and 46.9% in human malignant cancer tissues and cancer cell lines, respectively. The ratio of Dab2 promotor hypermethylation is 34.54% in cancer tissues which Dab2 expression are lost, but none in the control tissues or cells by Methylation-specific PCR [MSP]. The expressions of Dab2 are frequently lost in human malignant cancer tissues, and promotor hypermethylation of Dab2 are common in human malignant cancer tissues, which is an important factor for the loss expression of Dab2 in human cancers tissues
ABSTRACT
This report concerns a 4-month-old infant with progressive prominent and redness of his left eye since birth. This report concerns a 4-month-old infant with progressive prominent redness of his left eye since birth. Angiography revealed a congenital pial arteriovenous fistula between the temporal branch of the left posterior cerebral artery and left cavernous sinus through the sphenoparietal sinus, a condition not reported in the literature. The fistula was successfully occluded with two micro-coils by vertebrobasilar approach.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of tertamethylpyrazine on perioperative humoral immune function in patients required for autologous blood transfusion.MethodsSixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 20-60 yr weighing 50-75 kg undergoing elective spinal surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n =30 each):test group and control group.In test group,tertamethylpyrazine 2 mg/kg was infused intravenously over 5 min at 30 min before the autologous blood was collected.Tertamethylpyrazine was added to the heparinized saline and washing saline at the same time (25 mg per 500 ml) until the final concentration reached 0.005 ％.Tertamethylpyrazine was not given in control group.Venous blood samples were taken before anesthesia induction (T0) and at 1 h after operation (T1),and on day 1 and 5 after operation (T2.3) for measurement of serum IgG and IgM concentrations by ELISA.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss and amount of salvaged blood reinfused were recorded.ResultsThere was no significant difference in the operation time,intraoperative blood loss and amount of salvaged blood reinfused between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with the baseline value at T0,serum IgG and IgM concentrations were significantly decreased at T1-3 in control group and the serum IgG concentration was significantly decreased at T1.2 in test group ( P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ).The serum IgG concentration at T2.3 and serum IgM concentration at T1-3 were significantly higher in test group than in control group ( P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ).ConclusionTertamethylpyrazine can reduce humoral immunosuppression to some extent and improve the balance of humoral immunity in patients required for autologous blood transfusion.
ABSTRACT
This paper focuses on the animal experiment of automatic drug delivery based on predictive control for vascular interventional therapy. Improvement of drug delivery system based on predictive control used in simulated experiments was put forward after the presence of time varying parameters and the characteristics of individual differences of animal had been studied. The adaptability of time varying parameters and fault tolerance of the system were also enhanced. Different injection methods were tested on animals. It is proved that higher target blood concentration can be reached while injecting during diastolic than that while injecting during systolic or injecting at a constant speed within the whole cardiac cycle. The results also showed that the improved drug injection system based on predictive control which synchronizes with the cardiac cycle could be applied to clinical trials.

Objective To investigate the effect of tetramethylpyrazine pretreatment on the expression of cfos and heat shock protein (HSP70) during hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) in cultured fetal rat hippocampal neurons. Methods After the neurons were cultured and identified, they were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 24each): control group (group C), H/R group, and low, median and high concentration of tetramethylpyrazine pretreatment groups (group L, M and H). The neurons were exposed to 2 h of hypoxia followed by 24 h of reoxygenation. Tetramethylpyrazine was added with the final concentrations of 60, 200 and 800 μg/ml in group L, M and H respectively, and then the neurons were incubated for 1 h before H/R. The apoptosis rate, cell viability and expression of c-fos and HSP70 were detected. Results The cell viability was significantly lower, while the apoptosis rate was significantly higher in group A/R, L and H than in group C (P ＜0.01). The cell viability and HSP70expression were significantly higher, while the apoptosis rate and c-fos expression were significantly lower in group L, M and H than in group A/R, and in group M and H than in group L (P＜ 0.05). The cell viability and HSP70expression were significantly lower, while the apoptosis rate and c-fos expression were significantly higher in group H than in group M ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion The mechanism by which tetramethylpyrazine pretreatment inhibits the apoptosis in cultured fetal rat hippocampal neurons during H/R may be related to the dowm-regulation of c-fos expression and up-regulation of HSP70 expression.
