Sixty-four patients with Graves' diseases were divided into methimazole group ( n =30 ) and propylthiouracil group( n =34 ).20 healthy volunteers were used as the control group.The levels of interleukin (IL) -2,IL-6,and TSH receptor antibody (TRAb) were determined by ELISA after serum samples were eollected before treatment and after treatment for 3 and 6 months.The results showed that the general data of two groups were not significantly different before treatment.IL-2 and IL-6 levels at 6 months after treatment were significantly different from the baseline (P< 0.05 ),IL-2 being gradually increased while IL-6 decreased with time.The level of IL-6 in methimazole group was lower than that in propylthiouracil group after treatment for 6 months ( P< 0.05 ).There was no significant difference in TRAb levels between two groups before treatment while differences became significant at 3 and 6 months of treatment ( all P< 0.01 ),being gradually decreased with time. IL-2/IL-6 ratio became significantly greater at 3 and 6 months of treatment compared with that before treatment in the same treatment group( P<0.05 ) and the ratio in methimazole group was higher than that in propylthiouracil group by 6 months of treatment ( P<0.05 ).IL-6level was positively correlated with FT3 and FT4 levels,and IL-2 level was negatively correlated with FT3,FT4,and TRAb levels in GD patients before treatment.The correlations of IL-2 and IL-6 with FT3 and FT4 disappeared by 3 and 6 months of treatment.IL-2 and IL-6 levels were related with TRAb level before and after treatment in methimazole group. These results suggest that the immunosuppressive effect of methimazole is more evident than that of propylthiouracil in patients with Graves' disease.

Objective To observe the hypoglycemic mechanism of total saponins of Momordica charantia (MC) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) rats. Methods Among the selected 60 male Specific Pathogen Free (SPF)rats, 8 were random- ly chosen as control group, while others were fed with high fat and high glucose diet following streptozotocin injection from caudal vein 8 weeks after to construct type 2 DM models. After the DM models were successfully built, rats were then ran- domized into five groups: DM control group (n=8), the metformin group (n=8) and three groups of total saponins of MC with different dosage (n=8 in each group). The total saponins of MC groups include DM rats administrated with total saponins of MC 100, 200, 400 mg/(kg·d) for 8 weeks, the metformin group include DM rats administrated with metformin 50 mg/(kg·d) for 8 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the fasting blood glucose and insulin were examed. At the same time, a part of pan- creas islet, liver and skeletal muscle were preserved. The pancreas islet structure, the hepatic glycogen and Glucose trans- porter 4 (GLUT4) expression were observed by electron microscope, glycogen dyeing and immunoblot respectively. Results After 8 weeks treatment, compared to type 2 DM control group, fasting blood glucose and insulin values in MC groups were reduced more obviously. However, skeletal muscle GLUT4 expression level, insulin granules and hepatic glycogen increased obviously in MC groups. Conclusion Total saponins of MC has hypoglycemic effect. It’s mechanisms maybe include pro- moting the hepatic glycogen synthesis, inhibiting the hepatic glycogen decomposition and promoting insulin sensitivity by in- creasing peripheral tissue’s GLUT4 expression.

Objective To investigate the effect of the eye-acupuncture therapy on serum TNF-α levels in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and the related mechanism. Methods Healthy SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal group, sham-operated control group, ischemia-reperfusion model group and eye-acupuncture group according to body weight. Sham-operated control group, ischemia-reperfusion model group and eye-acupuncture group were divided into the 3h group, the 24h group and the 72h group, a total of 10 groups (n=8). To establish the rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion by suture method in ischemia-reperfusion model group and eye-acupuncture group. Eye-acupuncture was separately started immediately after reperfusion and at 30 min before sampling in the 3h eye-acupuncture group, besides, eye-acupuncture was separately taken every 12h in the 24h eye-acupuncture group and in the 72h eye-acupuncture group. The rats in normal group were not treated, those in sham-operated control group were inserted the fishing thread 1cm, and the others were identical with those in ischemia-reperfusion model group. At 3h, 24h, 72h after reperfusion, the neurophysical behaviours were accessed by ZeaLonga neurophysical impairment marks in ischemia-reperfusion model group and eye-acupuncture group. The method of ELISA was taken to detect the change of serum TNF-α levels in rats after the eye-acupuncture therapy. Results Compared with the ischemia-reperfusion model group, the neurologic impairment score of the eye-acupuncture group decreased obviously; The levels of serum TNF-αin ischemia-reperfusion model group at 3 h, 24 h, 72 h respectively were(76.803±18.325)pg/ml、(85.511±13.334)pg/ml、(86.831±9.232)pg/ml. The level of serum TNF-α in normal group was(24.304±6.511)pg/ml. The level of serum TNF-α in Sham-operated control group at 3 h, 24 h, 72 h respectively were(24.928±3.792)pg/ml,(27.533±5.362)pg/ml,(29.366±5.874)pg/ml. Ischemia-reperfusion model group compare with normal group and sham-operated control group, the difference were significant(P<0.01). The levels of serum TNF-α in rats after the eye-acupuncture therapy at 3 h, 24 h, 72 h respectively were(40.185±3.335)pg/ml, (48.523±7.687)pg/ml, (51.611± 6.403)pg/ml. Compared with ischemia-reperfusion model group, the levels of serum TNF-α were strongly reduced(P<0.01). Conclusion The eye-acupuncture therapy could play a role in improving cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury evidently and the mechanism was related to its reducing serum TNF-α levels.
