Methods Data about 20 717 subjects aged 45-59 years from the cross-sectional 2002 China National Nutrition and Health Survey were analyzed. High fat-low carbohydrate diet was scored according to the energy of carbohydrate, fat, and protein. Results Of the 20 717 subjects, 1 332 were diagnosed with hyperglycemia and 662 were newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Multivariate adjusted analysis showed that the highest score of type 2 diabetes patients was 2.75 （95% CI： 2.09-3.61）. The score of type 2 diabetes patients was 1.87 （95% CI： 1.35-2.58） after further adjustment for their socioeconomic status and physical activity. No significant difference was found in the odds ratio after further adjustment for BMI, blood pressure, lipid level, and energy intake. No evidence was observed for the relation between high fat-low carbohydrate-diet score in type 2 diabetes patients due to high family income, less education, physical activity, overweight, hypertension, high TG, or low HDL level. Conclusion High fat-low carbohydrate diets, far different from traditional Chinese diets, are associated with the high incidence of type 2 diabetes in Chinese population.展开更多

There are many methods to measure the TM, but up to now no one does vivo dynamic TM measurement. An optical-electronic method is raised to measure it in this paper. The measurement theory is introduced and a measurement system is setup. Special proceeding is done for this measurement because of the small oral cavity measurement area. It is the first time to get vivo dynamic TM measurement result at last. The measurement result is analysed and a new movement period is discovered. It shows that this method satisfies for the dynamical tooth movement. Further research is suggested.展开更多

The recipient lived in the United Kingdom,a non-endemic region for Histoplasmosis. However,she had previously lived in rural southern Africa prior to her OLT. The patient presented with iron deficiency anaemia,diarrhoea,abdominal pain and progressive weight loss. She reported no previous foreign travel,however,it later became known that following her OLT she had been on holiday to rural southern Africa. On investigation,a mild granulomatous colitis primarily affecting the right colon was identified,that initially improved with mesalazine. Her symptoms worsened after 18 mo with progressive ulceration of her distal small bowel and right colon. Mycobacterial,Yersinia,cytomegalovirus and human immunodeficiency virus infections were excluded and the patient was treated with prednisolone for a working diagnosis of Crohn's disease. Despite some early symptom improvement following steroids,there was subsequent deterioration with the patient developing gram-negative sepsis and multi-organ failure,leading to her death. Post-mortem examination revealed that her ileo-colonic inflammation was caused by Histoplasmosis.展开更多
