为了探讨饮食指导联合知识宣教对老年T2DM患者血糖波动的影响,本研究选取在本院治疗的136例老年T2DM患者并随机分组,对照组患者给予常规护理,试验组患者实施知识宣教辅助饮食指导。通过观察比较比较两组患者血糖达标时间、血糖波动次数、平均血糖漂移幅度、空腹血糖、餐后2 h血糖、糖化血红蛋白和血脂水平差异,本研究发现治疗后试验组患者血糖达标时间为(19.06±2.70) h、血糖波动次数为(2.01±0.94)次/d、平均血糖漂移幅度为(3.12±1.04) mmol/L,较对照组均明显改善(p<0.05);试验组患者空腹血糖为(6.01±0.18) mmol/L、餐后2 h血糖(8.31±0.32) mmol/L、糖化血红蛋白(6.39±0.65)%,明显低于对照组(p<0.05);试验组患者LDL-C为(2.49±0.02) mmol/L、TG为(1.12±0.02) mmol/L同对照组比较明显下降(p<0.05)。研究表明,针对老年T2DM患者给予饮食指导联合知识宣教可控制患者血糖和血脂水平,避免血糖波动,值得推广应用。     

Determination of the Blood,Hormone and Obesity Value Ranges that Indicate the Breast Cancer,Using Data Mining Based Expert System

Breast cancer is a dangerous type of cancer that spreads into other organs over time. Therefore, medical studies are being done for the early diagnosis by means of the anthropometric data and blood analysis values besides the mammographic and histological findings. However, medical studies have identified only cancer-related values but the value ranges indicating the cancer have not been determined yet. Concurrently the automated diagnostic systems are being developed to assist medical specialists in biomedical engineering studies. The range of values or boundaries indicating the cancer are automatically determined in biomedical methods, but only the diagnostic result is presented. Because of this, biomedical studies don't provide enough opportunity for medical experts to evaluate the relationship between values and result. In this study, decision trees that is one of data mining method was applied to anthropometric data and blood analysis values to complete the mentioned deficiencies in breast cancer diagnosis aiming studies. The determined value ranges were also presented visually to medical experts understand them easily. The proposed diagnostic system has accuracy rate up to 90.52% and provides value ranges indicating the breast cancer as well as mathematically presents the relations between the values and cancer.

Effect of Olea europaea leaves extract on streptozotocin induced diabetes in male albino rats

The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of olive (Olea europaea) leaves extract on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic male rats. The experimental rats were divided into six groups. Rats of the first group were served as normal controls. Rats of the second group were diabetic control. The third and fourth groups were diabetic rats, treated with olive leaves extract at low and high doses respectively. The fifth and sixth groups were non diabetic rats, subjected to olive leaves extract at the same doses given to the third and fourth groups respectively. The minimum of body weigh gain was noted in diabetic rats of the second group. the levels of serum glucose, insulin, total protein, albumin, triglycerides, cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were significantly increased, while the levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), superoxide dismutase, (SOD) glutathione (GSH) and catalase (CAT) were statistically decreased in diabetic rats of the second group. The levels of liver insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) and insulin receptor A (IRA) were significantly declined in diabetic rats of the second group. The diabetic pancreatic sections from diabetic rats of the second group showed several histopathological changes. Administration of low and high doses of olive leaves extract improved the observed physiological, molecular and histopathological alterations. Collectively, the obtained results confirmed that the protective effects of olive leaves extract are attributed to the antioxidant activities of olive leaves extract and its active constituents.     

Characterization of thin gelatin hydrogel membranes with balloon properties for dynamic tissue engineering

Cell or tissue stretching and strain are present in any in vivo environment, but is difficult to reproduce in vitro. Here, we describe a simple method for casting a thin (about 500 μm) and soft (about 0.3 kPa) hydrogel of gelatin and a method for characterizing the mechanical properties of the hydrogel simply by changing pressure with a water column. The gelatin is crosslinked with mTransglutaminase and the area of the resulting hydrogel can be increased up 13-fold by increasing the radial water pressure. This is far beyond physiological stretches observed in vivo. Actuating the hydrogel with a radial force achieves both information about stiffness, stretchability, and contractability, which are relevant properties for tissue engineering purposes. Cells could be stretched and contracted using the gelatin membrane. Gelatin is a commonly used polymer for hydrogels in tissue engineering, and the discovered reversible stretching is particularly interesting for organ modeling applications.     

Silk fibroin hydrogels for potential applications in photodynamic therapy

In this study, we prepared translucid hydrogels with different concentrations of silk fibroin, extracted from raw silk fibers, and used them as a matrix to incorporate the photosensitizer 5-(4-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-tris-(4-sulphonatophenyl) porphyrin trisodium for application in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The hydrogels obtained were characterized by rheology, spectrophotometry, and scattering techniques to elucidate the factors involved in the formation of the hydrogel, and to characterize the behavior of silk fibroin (SF) after incorporating of the porphyrin to the matrix. The rheology results demonstrated that the SF hydrogels had a shear thinning behavior. In addition, we were able to verify that the structure of the material was able to be recovered over time after shear deformation. The encapsulation of porphyrins in hydrogels leads to the formation of self-assembled peptide nanostructures that prevent porphyrin aggregation, thereby greatly increasing the generation of singlet oxygen. Also, our findings suggest that porphyrin can diffuse out of the hydrogel and permeate the outer skin layers. This evidence suggests that SF hydrogels could be used as porphyrin encapsulation and as a drug carrier for the sustained release of photosensitizers for PDT.
