Objective To investigate the effects of Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule on CXCL9 and IL-8 in type 2 diabetic model rats, and discuss the mechanism in TCM intervention in type 2 diabetes. Methods Fifty male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:normal control group, high-dosage group of Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule, low-dosage group of Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule, pioglitazone group and model group. Normal control group was fed with basal diet, while the other groups were fed with high fat diet. A single intraperitoneal injection of STZ of 35 mg/kg was employed to establish the animal model of diabetes mellitus. When the diabetic rodent model was built, high-dosage group of Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule and low-dosage group of Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule were treated with 1.08 g/(kg?d) and 0.54 g/(kg?d) by gavage, pioglitazone group was treated with 10 mg/(kg?d) by gavage, the blank group and the model group were treated with physiological saline 5 mL/(kg?d) by gavage for 8 weeks. CXCL9, IL-8 and blood glucose, and lipid in serum of rats were determined with double antibody sandwich method. Results Expressions of CXCL9 and IL-8 in model group increased significantly, compared with the normal control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Expressions of CXCL9 and IL-8 in high and low dosage Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule group significantly decreased, the blood glucose and lipid also decreased, compared with model group (P<0.01). Conclusion Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule has inhibitory effects on the high expression of inflammatory factors in diabetes, and can also lower bloodglucose, and regulate blood lipid.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To observe the effect of endogenous nitric oxide synthase ( NOS) inhibitor asymmetric dimeth-ylarginine ( ADMA ) and its signaling pathways on NO levels and skeletal muscle contractility in 4-week running rats. METHODS:The 4 weeks running rat model was established.The twitch tension, tetanic tension and the fatigue test of sole-us muscle induced by electrical stimulation ex vivo were detected.The ATP content, mitochondrial DNA levels and the mR-NA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γcoactivator-1α(PGC-1α), nuclear respiratory factor (NRF) were measured to reflect the mitochondrial function and biosynthesis in the skeletal muscle.Serum ADMA concentration was detected by high performance liquid chromatography.The endogenous ADMA enzymes PRMT1 and 2 subtypes of ADMA me-tabolism enzyme DDAH, 3 subtypes of NOS protein expression in the skeletal muscle were determined by Western blot.NOS activity and nitric oxide ( NO) content were analyzed by colorimetric method.RESULTS: Compared with normal control group, the twitch tension, tetanic tension and the anti-fatigue capability of soleus muscle in running group were significantly enhanced, ATP content, mitochondrial DNA content and the mRNA expression of PGC-1αand NRF were significantly in-creased (P<0.01).In addition, the protein expression of constitute type NOS (cNOS) and NOS activity were significantly increased (P<0.01), but the increase in NO content was relatively smaller in soleus muscle in exercise group (P<0.05). Moreover, serum ADMA concentration in running group was increased, while the DDAH2 expression in skeletal muscle was decreased.CONCLUSION:Short-term endurance exercise enhances the twitch tension, tetanic tension and fatigue resist-
ance of soleus muscle.The mechanism may be that increased cNOS expression feedbacks to increase ADMA concentration, thus maintaining the increase in NO synthesis at a relatively low level, and resulting in promoting skeletal muscle mitochon-dria biosynthesis and mitochondrial function.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of microscopic observation drug susceptibility assay (MODS) in extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Methods MODS technology was constructed by using 24-well cell culture plate and liquid culture.Ziehl-Neelsen smear,Lowenstein-Jensen culture and MODS were used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 74 pleural fluid samples collected from patients with tuberculous pleurisy,63 cerebrospinal fluid samples collected from patients with tuberculous meningitis and 18 samples collected from non-tuberculosis suspects.The immunochromatography was used to distinguish Mycobacterium tuberculosis from nontuberculosis mycobacteria. The results of Ziehl-Neelsen smear, Lowenstein-Jensen culture and MODS were compared by x2 test.Results The positive rates of MODS,Lowenstein-Jensen culture and Ziehl-Neelsen smear were 58.1 % (43/74),18.9 % (14/74 ) and 6.8% (5/74),respectively in tuberculous pleurisy patients; 54.0%(34/63),20.6% (13/63) and 4.8% (3/63),respectively in tuberculous meningitis patients.The positive rate of MODS technology was significantly higher than that of Lowenstein Jensen culture in tuberculous pleurisy patients (x2 =24.00,P<0.01) and tuberculous meningitis patients (x2 =14.97,P < 0.01). Each Mycobacterium obtained from MODS and Lowenstein-Jensen culture was identified as Mycobacterium tuberculosis by immunochromatography.All of the 18 pleural fluid and cerebrospinal fluid samples which collected from non-tuberculosis suspects were all negative detected by Ziehl-Neelsen smear,Lowenstein-Jensen culture and MODS.The median time to culture positive of MODS was 9 days in cerebrospinal fluid and 14 days in pleural fluid samples,which were both significantly shorter than that of Lowenstein-Jensen culture (31 days in both cerebrospinal fluid and pleural fluid samples). Conclusion Compared to conventional microbiological diagnosis methods,MODS is a rapid detection method of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with a higher positive detection rate,which is suitable for rapid diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
