Objective To observe PDX-1 expression in the pancreas of type 2 diabetic rat model and effects of rosiglitazone (RGZ) on it. Methods Type 2 diabetic rat model was induced by long-term feeding with high-fat foods followed by a single intraperitoneal injection of low dose of streptozotocin (STZ). The morphological changes of pancreas were examined by microscopy and immunohistochemistry. The mRNA levels of PDX-1 and insulin were determined by RT-PCR. PDX-1 protein expression was detected with Western blot. Results The percentage of insulin-positive cells(12.75±2.18),the average optical densities of PDX-1-positive area(0.240±0.051),PDX-1 mRNA level (0.153±0.071)and PDX-1 protein level(0.253±0.028) were significantly lower in untreated diabetic rats than in the controls(42.61±2.68,0.648±0.087,0.49±0.032,0.720±0.036 respectively)(all P<0.01),and in RGZ-treated versus untreated group those parameters increased significantly (all P<0.05~0.01). Conclusions Rosiglitazone could protect islet cell function,and improve PDX-1 expressions in both mRNA and protein levels.

Objective To investigate effects of total flavonoids of litchi (TFL) on the proliferation of rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC-T6) in comparison with western medicine rosiglitazone, and to explore the mechanism of anti hepatic fibrosis of TFL. Methods Effect of TFL on proliferation of HSC-T6 was examined by MTT. The expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) mRNA, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) mRNA in HSC-T6 cells exposured were examined by real-time quantitative PCR. Effects on HSC-T6 CTGF protein from TFL and rosiglitazone were detected by Western bloting. Results The expression of PPAR-γ mRNA was upregulated and the expression of CTGF mRNA and protein was downregulated after exposure to TFL and rosiglitazone for 72 hours. And the effect of TFL increased with the increase of concentration. Conclusion TFL can inhibit the proliferation of HSC-T6 and antagonizing liver fibrosis. This mechanism may be associated with the upregulation of PPAR-γ expression and the downregulation of CTGF expression.

Objective:To understand the implementation status of case-based payment among healthcare provid-ers and their cognition on the matter. Methods:Semi-structured interview was conducted on 30 purposely selected staff from 9 hospitals in Chengdu. Results:After one-year implementation of case-based payment, hospitals at different level carried out the policy vigorously:executed corresponding expense control measures and management. Neverthe-less, the proportion of cases that were paid with case-based payment was low, moreover the inclusion criteria for case was of disunity and the formulation of the expense standard was ambiguous to some extent. Conclusion:Certain achievements were accompanied with problems, so it is essential to refine reimbursement standards, improve case-based payment, make clear the inclusion criteria for case and extend the covering range of case-based payment in Chengdu. In addition, the medical insurance agency should strengthen the supervision of healthcare providers,and guide them to set up effective incentive mechanism.

Objective To investigate the aging features of pure leukoaraiosis (LA) in nondemented outpatients. Methods The outpatients with age older than 40 years, without taking cholesterol lowering and B vitamin medications and with mini-mental state examination more than 24 scores were selected from July 2008 to December. 2009 in Beijing Tiantan Hospital. LA was defined with MRI. Patients were classified into two groups i. e. LA group consisting of 138 patients with leukoaraiosis but without lacunar lesions and cortical infarcts and a control group consisting of 124 patients without any lesion in brain. Age and other vascular risk factors were also investigated. Results Age of the patients in the LA group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P< 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age was independently associated with pure LA ( OR 1.080, 95% CI 1.042-1.120), after adjusting sex, vascular risk factors and presence of atherosclerosis in cervical arteries. If age-stratification was further considered, logistic regression analysis showed that OR (95% CI) for LA was 2.693 (95% CI 1.103-6.575) in a 60-69 year group and 13. 527(95%CI 3.319-55.131) in a≥70 year group as compared with a 40-49 year group. Conclusion Age is a determining risk factor for pure LA and patients with age older than 60 years are at high risk of LA.
