Objective:To study the efficacy and safety of saxagliptin or pioglitazone combined with metformin in the newly diag-nosed patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) with inadequate glycemic control by metformin alone. Methods:Totally 82 newly diagnosed T2DM patients with inadequately control by metfomin monotherapy for 12 weeks were randomly divided into two groups, sax-agliptin group ( saxagliptin combined with metforminc) and pioglitazone group ( pioglitazone combined with metformin) . The blood glu-cose control, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance index ( HOMA-IR) , body weight change and adverse reactions were assessed before and after the treatment for 12 weeks. Results:After the 12-week treatment,the level of fasting plasma glucose ( FPG) , two-hour postprandial plasma glucose (2hPG) and glyeosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c) in both groups were significantly decreased. Compared with the pioglitazone group,the level of 2hPG and HbAlc was lower while the level of FPG was higher in the saxagliptin group (P<0. 05). Compared with the saxagliptin group,the level of fasting plasma insulin(FINS) was significantly decreased and HOMA-IR was significantly improved in the pioglitazone group. The body mass index ( BMI) of the patients was increased in the pioglitazone group(P<0. 05) and showed no change in the saxagliptin group(P>0. 05). There was no statistical difference in the adverse reac-tions between the two groups(P>0. 05). Conclusion:The combination of saxagliptin or pioglitazone with metformin in the treatment of newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes can improve glycemic control with low incidence of hypoglycemia and adverse reactions. Saxagliptin is more suitable for the patients with heart diseases or old patients.

ObjectiveTo analyse treatments and prognostic factors of T cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (T-NHL). MethodsNinety-one patients with T-NHL were retrospectively analyzed, and clinical features,histopathology, laboratory data were included in Kaplan-Meier and prognostic analysis. Results Median age was 38 years,58 (63.7 %) had high-intermediate and high risk by IPI,72 (79.1%) presented with advanced stage disease,extranodal disease was present in 64.8 % of patients.The overall response rate (ORR) for the whole group was 63.8 %,and the estimated 3,5-year ORR were 55.5 %,41.3 % respectively.Compared with CHOP-like regimen, the addition of etoposide could improve the survival of patients, meanwhile radiation therapy could improve the outcome of patients with NK/T cell lymphoma and mediastinal bulky disease, and consolidation chemotherapy with HSCT could improve the survival and reduce the recurrence of patients.Clinical stage,B symptoms,ECOG score,the level of LDH,extranodal involvment,anemia,initial treatment outcome, IPI score, the level of serum albumin and fibrinogen were predictive to overall survival. Cox multivariate analysis showed initial treatment outcome and B symptoms were independent prognostic factors.IPI and m-PIT were useful for stratified patients into different prognostic risk groups. Conclusion T-NHL is a heterogeneous group of malignancies with an inferior long term outcome. New treatment modality needs to be explored for these patients,and new drugs and HSCT may be good choices.

BACKGROUND:Absorbable bio-glass injection composed by bio-glass and calcium phosphate bone cement can be tightly combined with bone tissue by a strong chemical bond to improve the stability of the bone-implant interface.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of absorbable bio-glass injection to support the vertebral body of osteoporosis mice and its mechanism of osteogenic induction.
METHODS:Osteoporosis models were prepared in 30 female Sprague-Dawley rats undergoing bilateral ovariectomy. After modeling, model rats were randomly divided into three groups, and given polymethylmethacrylate, injectable calcium phosphate bone cement and absorbable bio-glass injection into L3-5 vertebral bone defects, respectively. L3-5 segments were removed at 12 weeks after implantation to detect the biomechanical and degradation properties, levels of calcium and phosphate, alkaline phosphatase activity, bone mineral density, levels of bone morphogenetic protein 2 and transforming growth factor β, as wel as histological observation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the absorbable bio-glass injection group, the degradation properties, compressive strength, surface hydroxyapatite deposition amount and bone mineral density were significantly higher than those in the other two groups(P< 0.05); trabecular bone relative volume, thickness and number were significant higher than those in the other two groups (P < 0.05); serum levels of calcium, alkaline phosphatase, bone morphogenetic protein 2 and transforming growth factor β were significantly higher than those in the other two groups(P < 0.05); but the level of serum phosphate was lower than that in the other two groups(P < 0.05). These results show that the absorbable bio-glass injection can enhance the support for the osteoporotic vertebral body and induce osteogenesis, probably by increasing bone morphogenetic protein 2 and transforming growth factor β levels.

BACKGROUND:Col agen type II and proteoglycan loss are two most obvious manifestations of cartilage damage in the onset of osteoarthritis. Changes in col agen type II and proteoglycan as the main components of cartilage matrix directly lead to cartilage degeneration and subsequently result in osteoarthritis. How to reverse or prevent the development of this process becomes the focus of medical research. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of warming yang and benefiting marrow recipe on the expression of col agen type II and proteoglycan in the articular cartilage of knee osteoarthritis rabbits as wel as to further explore the mechanism underlying chondrocyte protection. METHODS:Ninety-six New Zealand rabbits, aged 9 months old, male and female, were selected to prepare osteoarthritis models in extension position using cast immobilization method, and were randomly divided into four groups:blank group (untreated), model group (simple modeling), Chinese medicine group (intragastric administration of extracts of warming yang and benefiting marrow recipe, 24 mL/kg/d) and western medicine group (intragastric administration of glucosamine hydrochloride, 24 mL/kg/d). Intragastric administration was done once a day for 6 weeks. RT-PCR technology was used to observe the effect of warming yang and benefiting marrow recipe on the expression of col agen type II and proteoglycans in the articular cartilage, and pathological examination was also done. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The cartilage surface was smooth in the blank group and Chinese medicine group, with uniform toluidine blue staining, but in the model group and western medicine group, the cartilage surface was rough and the toluidine blue staining was extremely uneven with obvious loss of surface and middle layer dying. The expressions of cartilage proteoglycan and col agen type II in the model group were significantly lower than those in the blank group (P<0.01) as wel as in the Chinese medicine group and western medicine group (P<0.05). In addition, the expressions of cartilage proteoglycan and col agen type II in the Chinese medicine group were higher than those in the western medicine group (P<0.05). These findings indicate that the recipe of warming yang and benefiting marrow can enhance the expressions of col agen type II and proteoglycan, which can maintain the normal col agen phenotype and protect the articular cartilage.
