      Abstract:Objective: To explore the applied characteristics of back-propagation artificial neural network (BPANN) on studying the genetic variants in PPAR-γ and RXR-α gene and type 2 diabetes risk in a Chinese Han population. Methods: With BPANN as fitting model based upon data gathered from type 2 diabetes patients(n=591) and normal controls (n=724), the mean impact value (MIV) for each input variables and sequencing the factors according to their absolute MIVs were calculated. The results from BPANN were compared with multiple logistic regression analysis,and multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method was used to consider the joint effects of PPAR-γ and RXR-α gene. Results:By BPANN analysis, the risk factors of diabetes mellitus were serum adiponectin level, hypertension, waist, rs4240711, rs3132291, rs3856806, diabetes mellitus family history,no alcohol drinking hyperlipoproteinmia, smoking, age, body mass index, rs1045570, gender, rs2920502, rs6537944, rs4842194, rs17827276 and rs1801282. However, only 8 factors were statistically significant in multiple logistic regression analysis, arrayed according to the important valne: hypertension, diabetes mellitus family history, waist, no alcohol drinkiy, smoking, rs4240711, rs4842194 and serum adiponectin level. Model X1 X2 X3(rs3856806, rs3132291, rs4240711) was the best model (CV Consistency=10/10, P=0.0107) with MDR method. Conclusion: These results suggested that the interactions of PPAR-γ and RXR-α gene might have important role in the susceptibility of T2DM. Neural network could be used to analyze the risk factors of diseases and more complicated relationships (main effects and interactions) between inputs and outputs, better than using the traditional methods.

      Abstract:Objective:To establish the evaluation of the median values for serum free β-human chorionic gonadotropin(β-HCG),pregnancy-associated plasma protein A(PAPP-A)and fetal nuchal translucency thickness(NT)in first-trimester prenatal screening in Nanjing region and investigate the standard program of the cutoff value for clinical soft-marker and its significance in prenatal diagnosis. Methods: The concentrations of β-HCG and PAPP-A in 1 684 gravidas with pregnancy of from 8 to 13+6 weeks were measured by time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay(TRFIA),and fetal NT value in their gestation from 11 to 13+6 weeks was determined by ultrasound scanning. Then the pregnancy outcomes of gravidas were followed up. Results: ① The median values ofβ-HCG in different gestigational week were 32% higher than their embedded parameters of software,those of PAPP-A were close to their embedded parameters in different gestigational week except in the 8th week of pregnancy,and those of NT values were 15% less than their embedded parameters;② when the positive rate of prenatal screening was 5%,the cutoff value of high risk in 21-trisome(Down’s Syndrome)was about 1∶550,and 4 cases with chromosome abnormalities were detected;③ The multiples of the median(MOM)values of serum PAPP-A with adverse pregnancy outcome in first-trimester prenatal screening were significantly lower than those with normal pregnancy outcome, and NT values were markedly higher than those with the normal pregnancy outcome. Conclusion: The standard cutoff values of the median soft-markers in serum and ultrasound scanning may be different in diverse regions,thus it is necessary to further investigate its applicability of the embedded parameters with foreign software;What′s more the MOM value of single soft-marker in first-trimester prenatal screening is important on the pregnancy outcome assessment,and it is benefit to detect other chromosomal abnormalities.

      Abstract:Objective:To explore the value of intima-media thickness quantification technology and Sono CT in evaluating the vascular pathology of carotid artery in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: The carotid artery of 124 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 82 healthy controls were detected respectively. The IMT of the the posterior wall of the carotid artery, and the presence of atherosclerotic plaque were observed. The patients were divided into DM1 group and DM2 group according to with or without hypertention, and the course of disease. Results: In DM1 with hypertention and DM2 without hypertention, the prevalence rates of carotid IMT are 81.5%, rates of carotid plaque are 78.2%, while in control group the data were 40.2% and 31.7%. There was significant difference between the two groups (P < 0. 05). The prevalence rates of carotid plaque of DM2 are higher than DM1, mean carotid IMT of DM2 which detected by QLAB are higher than that of DM1, with highly significant difference.The prevalence rates of carotid IMT and carotid plaque of patients with more than 5 years course of disease are higher than those patients with less than 5 years. Conclusion: The main change of carotid lesions in type 2 diabetes mellitus is the carotid IMT. The second change is carotid plaque. Sono CT technology can improve the resolution capability of the fine structure, increase the visibility of the rim of vascular lesions. The mean IMT measured by QLAB is superior to the maximum IMT in evaluating the vascular pathology of carotid artery in diabetes patients. It is especially valuable for the early diagnosis and guidance treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

      Abstract:Objective: To analyze the incidence rate and and management of adverse reaction in dual-source CT coronary arteriography(DSCT-CCTA). Methods: Total 1405 patients who received DSCT coronary angiography examination were enrolled in this study from Jan 1, 2010 to May 18, 2010. Considering both the allergic history and the pre-examination management, the incidence rate and the medical managements of adverse reaction were recorded and analyzed. Results: There were 79 patients who had a history of drug allergy or other allergic diseases. Adverse reaction occurred in 18 patients of those patients. The other 1 326 patients had no history of allergic disease, and adverse reaction occurred in 35 patients (P < 0.01). Among those patients of allergic history, 42 cases received pre-examination treatment of Dexamethasone. There was no significant difference of the incidence rate of adverse reaction between those patients with or without pre-examination treatment (P > 0.05). However, allergic shock occurred in two patients without pre-examination treatment of Dexamethasone. Those 53 patients with adverse reaction recovered after proper medical treatment. Conclusion:When adverse reaction occurs during the DSCT-CCTA, patients should be treated individually according to the degree of adverse reaction. Adverse reaction was highly correlated to allergic history. Pre-examination treatment of Dexamethasone could not reduce the incidence rate of adverse reaction significantly, but may relieve the degree of adverse reaction.
