Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2014;(11):64-70
Traditional Chinese Medicine ( TCM) is an important part of primary health care services with the advantages of simplicity, convenience, low costs, and effective examinations. Under the influence of Western Medi-cine, improving the enterprise advantages of TCM becomes an imminent issue to resolve. With the perspective of be-havioral and social sciences, the paper systematically reviews the factors which impact the consumer acceptance of TCM in primary healthcare services and constructs the corresponding structural equation model based on the social learning theory. Meanwhile, AMOS17. 0 and SPSS were used to process empirical data. The paper presents the fol-lowing important conclusions: service encounter quality, emotional well-being and the influence degree are signifi-cantly correlated with the consumer acceptance of TCM;there is no significant relationship between individual-cogni-tion and consumer acceptance of TCM;consumer trust is not related to consumer acceptance of TCM;TCM technolo-gy acceptance is the major source of consumer acceptance of TCM. Finally, this paper introduces the policy recom-mendations of improving and promoting the service quality of TCM.

China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica 2014;39(8):1374-1378
Berberine is the major component of Coptidis Rhizoma and it has been used as anti-infection, anti-inflammation drug for gastrointestinal diseases. In recent years, evidence showed that it could regulate glucose and lipid metabolism. Moreover, its activity had been tested by clinical trials and animal researches. The mechanisms of berberine in diabetes include: improving the function of beta-cell; prompting insulin secretion and islets regeneration, lowing lipid level, regulating glucose and lipid metabolic by influence transcriptional factors expression such as PPARgamma, C/EBPalpha, SREBP-1c, LXR, having the activities of anti-oxidation and inhibiting reductase to repress oxidative stress state and regulate metabolic signal pathway. Although numbers of data supported that berberine could improving insulin resistance by clinical trials and animal studies, the large scale, multicenter clinical trials are needed to evaluate the effects of berberine for diabetes and its complications in the time of evidence-based medicine.

Objective To study the effects of supra-physiologic glucose on the expression of PDX-1 and insulin secretion. Methods Islet cells isolated from SD rats were incubated in medium containing 5.6 mmol/L or 33 mmol/L glucose respectively for 3 days. Basic and glucose-induced insulin levels in supernate and in islet cells were detected. The PDX-1 mRNA and protein were detected. Results (1) Islet cells exposed to 33 mmol/L vs 5.6 mmol/L glucose for 3 days showed significant decrease in the basic and glucose-induced insulin release, and in cell insulin content and PDX-1 protein. (2) Prolonging incubation of islet cells in 33 mmol/L glucose aggravated the inhibitive effect on PDX-1 expression and insulin secretion. (3)Recovery to normal concentration of glucose in 3 days could partly improve PDX-1 expression and insulin secretion. Conclusions Inhibition of PDX-1 is one of the mechanism of glucotoxicity, and recovery to normal concentration of glucose in 3 days can partly improve PDX-1 expression and insulin secretion.
