ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of catch-up growth on insulin resistance(IR) through analysis of biochemical and metabolic indices in premature infants.Methods There were 126 infants admitted in the Department of Neonatology,the Affiliated Hospital of Guiyang Medical College from December 2010 to December 2013 [factors which might affect the secretion of insulin(INS),C peptide and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) were excluded].According to gestational age and birth weight,babies were divided into small for gestational age (SGA) group and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) group.And according to the age on follow-up,babies were divided into 1-to-6-month-old group,7-to-12-month-old group and ≥ 1-to-3 year-old group.All cases had 6 mL peripheral venous blood sampled in the early morning during fasting in the first week,and 6,12,24,36 months after birth.They were tested for levels of INS,C peptide,IGF-1,triglyceride (TC),total cholesterol (TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),fasting blood-glucose (FBG),albumin,prealbumin and creatinine respectively.At the same time,the physical parameters were measured,including weight,body length,and calculated insulin resistance index (IRI),Ponderal index,weight standard deviation score (SDS),and length SDS.Results (1) Catch-up growth after premature birth occupied 65.6％ (63/96 cases),whereas no catch-up growth occupied 34.4％ (33/96 cases) of study snbjects,and among them catch-up growth of 37 cases was better (8 cases of SGA,29 cases of AGA),26 cases showing catch-up growth(7 cases of SGA,19 cases of AGA),33 cases without catch-up growth(11 cases of SGA,22 cases of AGA).No statistical significance was found in the distribution of catch-up growth between SGA group and AGA group(P ＞ 0.05).(2) The LgIRI,LgINS of group with good catch-up growth was significantly lower than the group with no catch-up growth group (F =3.55,3.47) in infancy,but the level of IGF-1 and prealbumin was higher than that of no catch-up growth group (F =3.55,4.94),the difference had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05) ; the better catch-up growth was associated with higher IGF-1 and prealbumin,but with lower LgIRI.(3) The risk factors for insulin resistance were SGA (OR =7.904,P =0.001),low birth weight ＜ 1 500 g (OR=8.737,P=0.019),and no catch-up growth (OR=11.706,P=0.000).Conclusions The better catch-up growth in infancy is associated with higher IGF-1 and prealbumin,but lower IR.The risk factors of IR include SGA,low birth weight and no catch-up growth,and the last being the major factor.
ABSTRACT
Objective By means of analyzing the antihypertensive use of hypertension patients of Guiyang in 2013 and impact factors for basic drug use,to evaluate the impacts of the essential medicines list in place in Guiyang to hypertension patients in communities in Guiyang.Methods 969 hypertension patients were surveyed with structured questionnaire of stratified random sampling at 6 community health centers in Guiyang city.Results Hypertension patients in communities averaged 1.4 types of antihypertensive,and the essential medicines used accounted for 39.8％of all the antihypertensive.The distribution differences of the ratio of essential medicines use are significant interms of age,gender,and household annual income.Use ratio of non-essential medicines of the 55～64 age group and 65～74 age group are 3.48 times and 0.47 times over that of the 75 and above age group.For hypertension patients of low income and medium income,their probable use of non-essential medicines is 2.05 and 2.87 times that of high income households.Conclusion As the use ratio of hypertension patients in Guiyang is relatively low,and the factors for it are age and household income,focused intervention is recommended for the 65～74 age group and low-income households,for the purpose of high use ratio of essential medicines of such people.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of ischemic postcondioning on cochlea following cochlear ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. METHODSForty two healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, namely, the sham operation control group, the ischemia reperfusion group and ischemic postcondinging group. There were 14 rats in each group. The content of molondialdehyde(MDA) as well as the activity of catalase(CAT)in cochlea was measured by histochemistry. The ultrastructural changes of stria vascularis capillaries of the cochlea in experimental rats were examined by transmission electron microscopy(TEM). RESULTS In the ischemia reperfusion group, the CAT activities were decreased and MDA concentrations were increased significantly compared with those in the control group. However, in the ischemic postcondinging group, the activities of CAT were increased and MDA concentrations were decreased compared with those in the ischemia reperfusion group. Moreover, lesions were detected in the stria vascularis capillaries in all the three groups. The capillaries of stria vascularis were injured severely in ischemia reperfusion group. In the ischemic postcondinging group, the damage of capillary of stria vascularis were reduced significantly compared with that in ischemia reperfusion group, the structures were near normal, and no obvious destruction was observed. COCLUSION Ischemic postconditioning may markedly reduce the excessive generation of oxygen free radical during the process of ischemia-reperfusion injury and might be a potential strategy for its therapy.
ABSTRACT
@#目的探索脑瘫患儿早期发现、早期干预的工作模式。方法临床、保健、康复相结合 ,采用产前检查、孕妇学校、产时儿科医生进产房、新生儿行为神经评定测定、高危儿抚触训练室、婴儿期儿童保健监测、各街道防治站常规体检筛查转诊等多种形式结合早期发现并干预脑瘫高危儿。结果此工作模式较模式前显著提高了脑瘫的早期诊断率及康复疗效。结论临床、保健、康复相结合的方式整合了医疗资源,起到了促进脑瘫早发现、早诊断、早治疗的作用 ,值得推广。
