Hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), a nuclear protein with transcription activity, can make the body produce adaptive response to hypoxia/ischemia by binding to target gene, transcription and post-transcriptional control. Ischemic tolerance refers to the adaptive response to transient ischemia and reperfusion, which can improve tissue tolerance during the following damage caused by more severe ischemic events. The recent studies have found that the expression of HIF-1 has an important significance in ischemic tolerance. HIF-1 may be a key factor of the oxygen signal transduction pathway in the development of cerebral ischemic tolerance.

Objective:To observe the clinical treatment effects of Tangkang Xifang in the patients with type 0 diabetes foot ( DF) . Methods:Totally 73 patients with type 0 DF were randomly divided into the treatment group (n=37) and the control group (n=36). All the patients discontinued other medications for 7d before the treatment. Base on the blood glucose control with the traditional treat-ment by metformin hydrochloride (1. 5 g·d-1), the treatment group was additionally given warm water foot bath with Tangkang Xi-fang, while the control group was additionally given warm water foot bath, 30 min per time and twice a day for 60 days. The changes in the clinical symptoms, ankle brachial index ( ABI) , motor nerve conduction velocity ( MCV) and some other indices were measured before and after the treatment. Results:In comparison with the control group (58. 3%), the treatment group had higher total effective rate (86. 5%), and the usage of Tangkang Xifang also significantly improved the physiopathologic syndromes of peripheral artery dis-ease and neuropathy (P<0. 01). The ABI and MCV in the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion:Tangkang Xifang can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of type 0 DF, which is suitable for the clinical application.

Twenty cases of infantile eczema were treated by combination of Tuina therapy and Western medications, and 18 cases were treated by Western medications. The therapeutic effective rate was respectively 100% and 90.0% in the two groups, with a difference between them (P＜ 0.01).

Objective To explore the rising degree of hemodiastase,lipase and the relationship with acute pancreatitis with diabetic ketoacidosis(DKA).Methods 36 diabetic ketoacidosis patients with increased trypsin were divided into non pancreatitis group(20 cases)and pancreatitis group(16 cases)based on the results of abdominal CT.And the blood amylase,urine amylase,blood fat enzyme levels of the two groups were measured and compard.Results The blood amylase of the pancreatitis group was(275.0±10.5)U/L,and that of pancreatitis group was(615.4±17.8)U/L,the difference between two groups was obvious(P＜0.01);The blood lipase of pancreatitis group was(2125.0±50.4)U/L,and that of pancreatitis group was(2021.0±19.8)U/L,there was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The blood amylase and abdominal CT results compliance high.Conclusion Pure DKA can cause diabetes pancreatic enzyme increases,and in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis,the specificity of blood amylase is high.

The effect of shortening article publication time on the publication cycle, impact factor, contributions, quality control and sustainable development of medical journals was elaborated with some measures proposed for preventing their negative effect.

The Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily and has emerged as a key player in the control of multiple metabolic pathways. Bile acids are the major endogenous ligands for FXR, and by activating FXR have a variety of target genes, many of which are geared toward pre- venting synthesis and uptake and promoting excretion of bile acids. Here we summarized the latest results from studies on FXR target genes and functions in bile acids metabolism in this article.
