ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the changes and clinical significance of gastrin 17 (G-17) in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN).Methods:One hundred and twenty-four DN patients admitted to Hefei Second People′s Hospital from July 2018 to December 2020 were selected as the DN group, and divided into Ⅰ-Ⅱstage subgroup (68 cases) and Ⅲ-Ⅴ stage subgroup (56 cases) according to the stage of DN.Inaddition, 100 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) patients without DN were selected as the T2DM group, and 100 healthy subjects who examined during the same period were selected as the control group. The levels of G-17, serum creatinine (SCr), evaluated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and other index in each group were detected. The normal level of G-17 was 1-7 pmol/L. G-17>7 pmol/L and ≤ 15 pmol/L was as marginal rising, and G-17>15 pmol/L was as rising.Results:The marginal rising rate of G-17 in the DN group was higher than that in the T2DM group: 43.5%(54/124) vs. 23.0%(23/100); the rising rate of G-17 in the DN group was higher than that in the T2DM group and the control group: 21.0%(26/124) vs. 7.0%(7/100), 4.0%(4/100), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The marginal rising rate and rising rate of G-17 in Ⅲ-Ⅴstage subgroup were both higher than those in the Ⅰ-Ⅱ stage subgroup and the T2DM group: 58.9%(33/56) vs. 30.9%(21/68), 23.0%(23/100); 32.1%(18/56) vs. 11.8%(8/68), 7.0%(7/100), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The marginal rising rate and rising rate of G-17 in DN patients with a disease course of ≥3 years was higher than that in patients with a disease course of <3 years and the T2DM group: 53.0%(44/83) vs. 24.4%(10/41), 23.0%(23/100); 27.7%(23/83) vs. 7.3%(3/41), 7.0%(7/100), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that G-17 was positively correlated with SCr ( r = 0.367, P<0.001) and negatively correlated with eGFR ( r = -0.619, P<0.001) in DN patients. Conclusions:The level of G-17 in ND patients is significantly increased, which is closely related to DN staging and can provide an auxiliary indicator for screening renal function in patients with T2DM.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of color Doppler ultrasound(CDUS) combined with vascular enhancement technology(VET) in diagnosis of iliac vein compression syndrome(IVCS).Methods:From Jan 2016 to Oct 2018, 252 patients with the lower extremities chronic venous diseases(CVD) were selected in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University. The ipsilateral iliac veins of the affected limbs were examined by CDUS, VET and the combined diagnosis of IVCS before X-Ray venography(XRV). Iliac vein diameter stenosis ratio(DSR)>50% in transverse section was the criterion of ultrasound diagnosis of IVCS. The stenosis site of iliac vein and indirect signs of IVCS, such as presence of collateral circulation and the retrograde flow of internal iliac vein were recorded. The cases, which had the same results in CDUS, VET and both and XRV, were divided into IVCS group and non-IVCS group. The results of XRV were taken as the gold standard, the diagnostic efficiency of the above 3 methods in diagnosis of IVCS was calculated. The cases identically diagnosed by the most effective ultrasonic method and XRV were divided into DVT group and non-DVT group according to the deep vein thrombosis in lower limbs. In the non-DVT group, there were five groups of C2-C6 on the basis of the CEAP clinical grades of CVD in lower extremity. The relationship between IVCS and different CEAP clinical grades were analyzed. The locations of common iliac vein stenosis and collateral circulation formation and internal iliac vein reverse flow were evaluated for the diagnosis of the IVCS.Results:①XRV diagnosis of IVCS was used as the gold standard. Compared with CDUS and VET alone, the sensitivity and specificity of CDUS combined with VET was the highest(all P<0.05). ②The distribution of DVT and non-DVT was significantly different in IVCS group and non-IVCS group diagnosed by the CDUS combined with VET(χ 2=145.0, P<0.001). ③In the non-DVT group, statistically significant differences of grades C3 and C5 were found between IVCS group and non-IVCS group(all P<0.05), while the differences of grades C2, C4 and C6 were non-significant(all P>0.05). ④For the proportion of the iliac vein stenosis sites, the prevalence of the primary section of left common iliac vein was much higher than those of the primary section of right common iliac vein and the middle-distal sections of bilateral common iliac veins(all P<0.05). There was no statistical difference between the middle-distal section of bilateral common iliac veins, and nor was bilateral junction area between external iliac vein and common femoral vein(all P>0.05). ⑤In IVCS group, which had the same results of CDUS combined with VET and XRV, there were statistical differences in the positive rate of collateral circulation and the retrograde flow of internal iliac vein(χ 2=6.717, P=0.010), and the former is higher than the latter. Conclusions:CDUS combined with VET has a higher diagnostic efficiency for IVCS than VET or CDUS alone. The presence of IVCS is closely related to DVT of lower extremities, but not related to clinical class of CEAP. The most common site of IVCS is the initial segment of the left common iliac vein. The presence of collateral circulation can be used as indirect indicators for the diagnosis of IVCS.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To design and optimize the formulation and technology of Theophylline hydrophilic gel matrix sustained-release tablets (self-made sustained-release tablets for short) based on the concept of “Quality by Design” (QbD). METHODS: Diluent type, tablet diameter, the property of adhesive (ratio of different adhesive types), the amount of adhesive were regarded as critical process parameters (CPPs). Similarity factor of dissolution curves of self-made Theophylline sustained-release tablets and reference preparation and its accumulative release rate at different time points were regarded as critical quality attributes (CQAs). L18(34) orthogonal tablet was adopted for design and trial, and secondary polynomial regression model was established. By using Modde 12.0 software, the design space and its acceptable range (PAR) were calculated through the optimal model. The optimal formulation and technology of Theophylline sustained-release tablets was determined, and validation test and Monte Carlo simulation verification were conducted. RESULTS: The optimal model with good coincidence, accuracy, validity and reproducibility was obtained, which could better fit the relationship between CQAs and CPPs. The design space and PAR value were obtained by further calculation (The optimum value of diluent was lactose; tablet diameter was 9.07-9.33 mm, and the optimal value was 9.20 mm; ratio of HPMC K4M to HPMC was 0.50-0.83, and the optimal value was 0.80; total amount of HPMC was 0.036 0-0.041 3 g per tablet, and the optimal value was 0.038 g per tablet). The optimal formulation and technology included that ratio of theophylline, HPMC K4M and HPMC K100M were 50%, 15.48% and 3.87%, respectively; the rest was filled with lactose and the diameter of the tablet was 9.20 mm. The results of validation confirmed that self-made Theophylline sustained-release tablets had similar in vitro release behavior compared with reference preparation. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the concept of QbD, the formulation and technology of Theophylline sustained-release tablets can meet the requirements of design, and the CPPs can be adjusted within the PAR range to meet the requirements of CQAs. This shows that the QbD concept is scientific and effective in the design and optimization of the formulation and technology of sustained and controlled release preparations.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Epidemiological data of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) in the general population of China are lacking. We report on the prevalence of lacunes, white matter hyperintensity (WMH), and cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in a community-based sample in China and compare the results with those of other studies. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional analysis of the population-based Shunyi Study in China. A total of 1,211 stroke-free participants (mean age, 55.6±9.3 years; 37.4% men) with available 3 Tesla (3T) magnetic resonance images were included in this analysis. Demographic information and risk factor data were assessed. The overall and age-specific prevalence of lacunes, WMH, and CMBs was evaluated. Associations between cardiovascular risk factors and the presence of these lesions were analyzed by multiple logistic regression. RESULTS: Our study showed a prevalence of 14.5% for lacunes, 72.1% for periventricular hyperintensity (PVH), 65.4% for deep white matter hyperintensity (DWMH), and 10.6% for CMBs. When compared with other community-based samples, individuals in the same age group showed a higher burden of lacunes and a relatively lower prevalence of CMBs. Advanced age was independently associated with the prevalence of these CSVD markers, while the presence of hypertension increased the risk of lacunes, PVH/DWMH, and CMBs in deep or infratentorial locations. CONCLUSIONS: A higher burden of lacunes but a relatively lower prevalence of CMBs was observed in this Chinese population. This notable result highlights the challenge of CSVD prevention in China. Chinese have a risk factor profile for CSVD similar to those in other populations.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the appropriateness of hospitalization days at a tertiary hospital in 2014 by means of the Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol ( AEP ) , and to analyze the causes of inappropriate stays. Methods Medical records of inpatients admitted at a tertiary hospital in 2014 were randomly selected. AEP( US version) was used to evaluate the appropriateness of every hospitalization day, while the causes of inappropriate hospitalization day were also analyzed. Results A total of 1 641 days of stay from 148 medical records were reviewed, and 129 days of stay (7. 9%) were seen as inappropriate. Two major factors for inappropriate stays were waiting for surgery and waiting for test, roughly 89. 1% of the inappropriate hospitalization days. The proportion of inappropriate hospital stays reduced to 4. 8% after adjustment of two-day weekend. Inappropriate hospital stays mostly appeared during the second day to the eighth day after admission(93. 8%). Logistic analysis results showed that with concomitant symptoms, preoperative waiting days > 5 days, high level surgery, non-emergency admission were significantly associated with appropriateness of hospital stays (P<0. 05). Conclusions The rate of inappropriate stays will be reduced and the quality of medical services will be improved if comprehensive measures could be carried out according to the causes of inappropriate stays.

ABSTRACT

The study was aimed to observe mir-210 expression in liver tissue of acute cold stress rat and predict the function of mir-210 in cold stress. Thirty SPF Wistar male rats which were 12-week-old and weighed (340 ± 20) g were used. The rats were pre-fed in normal room temperature for one week, and then were randomly divided into acute cold stress group at (4 ± 0.1) °C and normal control group at (24 ± 0.1) °C. After the rats were treated with cold stress for 12 h, the liver tissue was extracted and the gene expression of mir-210 was assayed using qRT-PCR. The results demonstrated that the gene expression of mir-210 was significantly enhanced in acute cold stress group compared with that in normal control group (n = 3, P < 0.01). The bioinformatics analysis showed that mir-210 has over hundreds of target genes and four kinds of target genes such as E2F3, RAD52, ISCU and Ephrin-A3 are more relative with liver cold stress. ISCU regulates the cell respiratory metabolism and Ephrin-A3 is related with cell proliferation and apoptosis. On the other hand, up-regulated mir-210 affects the DNA repairing mechanism which usually leads to genetic instabilities. Our results suggest that cold stress-induced up-regulation of mir-210 in liver harmfully influences cell growth, energy metabolism and hereditary.

ABSTRACT

To explore the association between polymorphisms of transcription factor 7-like 2 gene (TCF7L2) and type 2 diabetes mellitus in Hefei district. The results suggest that the genetic variation DG10S478 in the TCF7L2 gene was not associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Hefei district ( P>0.05 ). However, its attribution to the susceptibility of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Hefei is not important.
