Clinical outcomes of toe amputation in patients with type 2 diabetes in Tianjin,China

The aim of this study is to determine the predictors for reulceration, reamputation and mortality in patients with diabetes following toe amputation, and the impact of activities of daily living on clinical outcomes. This prospective cohort study included 245 patients who had undergone toe amputation (202 healing and 43 non‐healing) and was followed for a 5‐year period. Data regarding new foot ulceration, reamputation and mortality were recorded, and the patients' activities of daily living were evaluated. The rate of wound healing was 82·4%. The rate of follow‐up in the healed group was 91·6%. In years 1, 3 and 5, the cumulative incidence of patients who developed a new foot ulcer was 27·3%, 57·2% and 76·4%, respectively, leading to reamputation in 12·5%, 22·3% and 47·1%, respectively. The cumulative mortality was 5·8%, 15·1% and 32·7% at 1, 3 and 5 years, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that GHbA1c > 9% (75 mmol/mol) was identified as an independent predictor of impaired wound healing, reulceration and reamputation. An age of >70 years was identified as an independent predictor of reamputation, mortality and impairment of activities of daily living. Despite a satisfactory initial healing rate after the first toe amputation, with the extension course after the toe amputation, the long‐term outcomes are not optimistic. In developing countries like China, taking measures to prevent reulceration and reamputation is very important for patients with diabetic foot minor amputations, especially following toe amputation.

Application of trans-abdominal chorionic villus sampling in prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal diseases in first trimester of gestation

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and safety of prenatal diagnosis by traneabdominal chorionic villus sam-pling(TA-CVS)via the guidance of B-mode ultrasound in the first trimester of gestation.To explore the technique of long time culture and chromosome preparation of villi in early pregnancy.To evaluate the feasibility of the above techniques in the application of the prenatal cytogenetic diagnosis.Methods:One hundred and thirty-five singleton pregnancies at risk were referred from January 2001 to Decem-ber 2007.Results:The average maternal age was 35.2 years.TA-CVS was performed in the 10～13th weeks of gestation and the average gestational age was 10.89 weeks.All attempts at sampling were successful.The rate of operation-associated fetal loss was 0.74%.The failure rate of prenatal diagnosis because of inadequate amount of specimen was 0.The average culture time was 5-7 days.The success rate of the cell culture was 98.5%.No maternal con-temination and bacterial contamination happened.Fifteen cases of abnormal karyotype and one case of confined pla-cantel mosaiciem were diagnosed.Conclusion:TA-CVS appears to be safe and feasible and might to be offered in the prenatal diagnosis in the first trimester of gestation.The technique of long time culture and chromosome preparation of villi is stable and reliable.It is feasible to apply these techniques in the clinical practice of prenatal cytogenetic diagnose in the early pregnancy.     

谷胱甘肽- S-转移酶π和 DNA拓扑异构酶Ⅱ-α在结直肠癌组织中的表达及其意义

目的探讨谷胱甘肽- S-转移酶π （GST-π ）和 DNA拓扑异构酶Ⅱ-α （Topo Ⅱ-α ）在肿瘤的表达及其与结直肠癌临床病理学特征之间的关系.方法应用免疫组织化学（免疫组化） ABC法检测 GST-π和 Topo Ⅱ-α在 60例结直肠癌、癌旁组织和 15例正常结肠黏膜中的表达并分析其意义.结果 GST-π和 Topo Ⅱ-α在结直肠癌组织中的阳性表达率分别为 90.0%和 86.7%,显著高于癌旁组织和正常黏膜（ P〈 0.01）. GST-π和 Topo Ⅱ-α表达强度与肿瘤大小和组织学类型无关（ P 〉0.05）,但与肿瘤的临床分期、分化程度和淋巴结转移与否密切相关（ P〈 0.01）. GST-π在低分化癌组织中高表达;Topo Ⅱ-α在高分化癌组织中的表达强度高于低分化癌（ P〈 0.01）.结论 GST-π和 Topo Ⅱ-α在结直肠癌组织中的表达与肿瘤的临床病理特征有关,可作为衡量肿瘤恶性程度和预后的指标之一.
