Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disorder, affecting 10%-24% of the general population, and the incidence is much higher (70% -80% ) in type 2 diabetic patients. Recent studies indicate that fatty liver is an emerging problem in the Asia-Pacific region and China. The community prevalence of NAFLD in Shanghai is 15%. A large body of evidences suggests that NAFLD is the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome. NAFLD is not only associated with the metabolic syndrome, it also predicts the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The liver is a central organ for controlling and regulating glucose and lipids metabolism; intrahepatocellular lipid accumulation plays a key role in the development of metabolic-ally related disorders. It is crucial that specialists, especially endocrinologists, and practising clinicians should be aware of the strong association between NAFLD and increased risks of diabetes and CVD, NAFLD should be diagnosed correctly and defined timely in regarding its role as risk factors of underlying diabetes and CVD.

Researches in type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease have been made in recent years.The intimate connection between these two diseases has been analysed and explored.Whether non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a hepatic complication of type 2 diabetes remains to be elucidated.The poor outcome of liver disease in patients with type 2 diabetes should be emphasized.

The progress in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) research has shown an important role of hepatic steatosis in triggering insulin resistance and glucose/lipid metabolic disorders.As an early reversible therapeutic target for metabolic diseases,NAFLD has attracted increasing attention from endocrinologists and gastroenterologists,as well as deeping the studies in this field.Based on the recent progress in NAFLD research,this review mainly presents the new understanding and concept of NAFLD,discusses the features of the new guidelines and concensus for NAFLD treatment,and introduces some updated developments in NAFLD diagnosis and therapy.Furthermore,future directions of NAFLD research are also predicted in the article.

Objective To observe the effect and safety of modified Yishen Zhuyang Huoxue Huazhuo Formula for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in the TCM pattern of deficiency of spleen and kidney with phlegm-dampness. Methods Totally 123 cases were recruited into this study and randomized to two groups by central random approach, 64 cases in the observation group and 59 cases in the control group. Patients in the observation group were given the modified Yishen Zhuyang Huoxue Huazhuo Formula, while those in the control group were given compound cyproterone acetate tablet, for two treatment courses, three months for one course. The changes of ovarian volume and the number of follicles before and after treatment were observed. Adverse reactions were also evaluated. Results Bilateral ovarian volumes in both groups decreased after treatment (P<0.05, P<0.01), while the control group showed a significant better improvement (P<0.05). The number of follicles in the two groups decreased, but no significant difference were observed between the two groups (P>0.05). The rate of adverse reaction in the observation group was lower than the control group. Conclusion Modified Yishen Zhuyang Huoxue Huazhuo Formula is effective for PCOS patient by reducing the ovarian volume with a low incidence of side effect.

Objective To explore the before taking finasteride on transurethral plasmakinetic resection of prostate(TUPKVP)patients about IPSS,QOL,Qmax,PVR and other indicators.Methods 180 cases with benign prostatic hyperplasia were randomly divided into observation group and control group,90 cases in each group.Observation group and control group were given conventional therapy and the observed patients took 5 mg of finasteride everyday one week before surgery,all patients were followed up for 1 month.The two groups of TUPKVP patients were compared about IPSS,QOL,Qmax and PVR,intraoperative blood loss,operation time,irrigation fluid volume indicators.Results 180 patients were given successfully TUPKVP surgery.IPSS,QOL,Qmax and PVR contrast were significantly improved after treatment(t=5.11,7.01,3.06,6.17,11.82,4.13,4.52,5.17,all P＜0.05).IPSS,Qmax,PVR of the observation group after treatment was significantly better than that of the control group(t=11.35,5.26,3.12,all P＜0.05),the QOL difference between the two groups after treatment was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The cure rate of the observation group was 87.8％,which was significantly higher than 63.33％ in the control group(x2=14.56,P＜0.05).Intraoperative flushing fluid volume,intraoperative blood loss,duration of surgery in the observation group were significantly different compared with the control group,(t=21.15、43.12,5.33,all P＜0.05).Conclusion The preoperative taking finasteride can reduce TUPKVP blood loss and flushing fluid volume,shorten operation time and effectively improve the security of the operation.

Objective Tanycytes(TAs) is a specialized eppendymal glia that locates mostly in the ventral lateral wall of the ventricle III and median eminence(ME).Due to its peculiar location and directly exposure to the cerebrospinal fluid,blood,neuroendocrine hormones and neurons,tanycytes play an important role in the brain barrier system,brain-CSF neurohumoral circuit and immune-neuroendocrine network.They maintain immature characters during the adulthood and have naturally conducted the neuroregeneration process in the adult hypothalamus of mammal animals.This research was designed to identify tanycytes(TAs) in postnatal 7 days of Wistar rats and then establish the cell model of TAs for further study.Methods Tanycytes of postnatal 7 days of Wistar rats were identified by the immunohistochemical technology using glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) and vimentin(VIM),which are the intermediate filament markers of glia cells.The qualitative analysis was performed by the NADPH-d stain of nitric oxide sythenase(NOS).Primary TAs model was established by the cell culture technique and identified by the same methods as in vivo.Results Primary cultured TAs expressed VIM,GFAP and NOS which was identical with those in vivo.Conclusion Cell model of TAs from postnatal 7days of Wistar rats in vitro has been established and TAs could be used as a proper substrate for transplanting.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)has become one of the most common liver diseases in the world.Considering the important role of insulin resistance in its pathogenic mechanisms,insulin sensitizers are becoming the promising pharmacological strategies for NAFLD.We collected and analyzed the relevant articles in recent years and found that pioglitazone,rosiglitazone and metformin could improve liver enzymes and insulin sensitivity of NAFLD.However,only pioglitazine was supported in ameliorating liver histology by envidences from randomized,double-blinded,controlled clinical trials.There were no much obvious adverse effects in NAFLD patients who received insulin senitizers.Small or medium samples and no more than 2 years of treatment course may be the major limitation of current studies.Future information derived from well-designed running trials will be useful in defining the clinical implications of insulin sensitizers in the treatment of NAFLD.
