Impact of flash glucose monitoring on glycemic control in type 1 diabetic patients / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

Objective The application of flash glucose monitoring ( FGM) in type 1 diabetes could diminish the frequency of hypoglycaemia, however, how FGM improving the glycaemic control target (e.g. HbA1C) is waited to be investigated. Methods Seventy type 1 diabetic patients were recruited from December 2017 to July 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Their demographic data, use of FGM and HbA1C level were collected. Results We observed that type 1 diabetic patients wearing the FGM showed lower insulin dose [(0.562± 0.059)U/kg vs (0.772±0.049)U/kg, P=0.008)], shorter diabetic duration[2.0(0.8-6.0) vs 6.0(2.5-10), P=0.013], lower HbA1C value [6.8％(6.2％-7.7％) vs 8.0％(6.9％-9.4％), P=0.001]. Nevertheless, after adjusting the potential confounders, the level of HbA1C in patients wearing FGM was significantly lower than those without FGM. Moreover, it was independent of other factors, such as the dose of insulin and the insulin delivery method. Conclusion Type 1 diabetic patients wearing FGM had lower HbA1C value but it needs further follow-up to confirm the improvement of glycaemic control in type 1 diabetes with the use of FGM.

Advances of functionalized carbon nanotubes in diagnosis and treatment of tumor / 中国药科大学学报

@#Carbon nanotubes have become a kind of superior antitumor drug and gene carrier due to their special cylindrical structure with high loading capacity and easy penetration into the cell membrane. With the gradual development of researches on carbon nanotubes, their applications in tumor photothermal therapy and diagnosis have also become current research hotspots. However, chemical inertness and aggregation of carbon nanotubes have limited their clinical application. To overcome their drawbacks, researchers would functionalize the carbon nanotubes before further researches. In this article, applications of functionalized carbon nanotubes in cancer chemotherapy and gene therapy, photothermal therapy and cancer diagnosis are summarized.

Spontaneous hypertension in cynomolgus monkeys and an analysis of its risk factors / 中国比较医学杂志

Objective To establish reference values for blood pressure in cynomolgus monkeys in different ages.Methods The blood pressures and blood lipids indexes were detected in 521 cynomolgus monkeys using an American BECKMAN-CX4 automatic biochemical analyzer and a wrist electronic blood pressure monitor.Statistical tests were performed to analyze the data.Results Significant differences were found in blood pressure values of cynomolgus monkeys in different ages.Blood pressure values in the elderly group were higher than those of other groups.The morbidity of hypertension in the elderly group was higher than those of the other groups.Body mass index (BMI) in the hypertension group was higher than that of normal group in the same age.The incidence of hypertension in the elderly group with hyperlipemia was higher than that of other groups.Logistic regression analysis showed that age, BMI and hyperlipidemia in the hypertensive group were 1.435, 1.218, and 2.337 times higher than those of the normal group when predicting the risk of hypertension.Conclusions We have initially established reference values of blood pressure in cynomolgus monkeys in different ages.Age, BMI and hyperlipidemia are risk factors of spontaneous hypertension in cynomolgus monkeys, and the measurement of blood pressure may provide a basis for the screening of cynomolgus monkey model of spontaneous hypertensive and related research.
