The function of β-cells is closely correlated with the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Currently the bariatric surgery has been considered to be the most effective therapy for ameliorating the complications and improving the prognosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus,while the mechanism remains unknown.The improvement of β-cells function following bariatric surgery might play important roles in the remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus.In this article,the relationship between the changes of related factors after bariatric surgery and the function of pancreatic β-cells is reviewed.

Objective To investigate the status of TCM development in Chongqing city,and to put forward countermeasures and suggestions of the development of Chinese medicine in view of the existing problems,so as to provide reference for the government and relevant departments.Methods The relevant questionnaires were issued and recycled in 20 districts and counties of Chongqing city.Part of the data culled from Chinese management office yearbooks of Chongqing.Finally,comprehensive analysis was per-formed.Results There′s enormous upside potential for the development of Chongqing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM),but there were some problems and deficiencies.The main problems were as follows:the TCM characteristics not brought into full play in traditional Chinese Medicine hospitals,lack of following talents,unsound organization management of traditional Chinese medi-cine,the government′s insufficient investment and attention for traditional Chinese medicine (hospitals,schools,“hand-to-hand”ap-proach),not enough national policy support for TCM,TCM hospitals and folk medicines of ethnic minorities,and insufficient exca-vation in ethnic minority medicine.Conclusion In order to adapt to the development of Chinese medicine and to meet the growing requirements of Chinese medicine,some countermeasures should be taken as follows:giving full play to the characteristics of tradi-tional Chinese medicine,strengthening personnel training in Chinese medicine,reforming the management mechanism,increasing the government investment,strengthening policy support for Chinese medicine and folk medicines of ethnic minorities,accelerating the process of TCM standardization,scientific and internationalization.It is suggested that the miscellaneous diseases &incurable dis-ease medicine research office and slow disease traditional Chinese medicine health care office should be established under the TCM management office.Specialized agencies are advised to mine and collect herbal remedies,recipes in ethnic minority area and so on.

This study was aimed to investigate rules of medicine selections of four Meng-He (MH) medical schools. Based on frequency analysis and Apriori algorithm of association rules, data mining was conducted on 60 cases of four MH medical schools in the treatment of Chuan syndrome. The results showed that among 60 cases, Xing-Ren (XR), Ban-Xia (BX), Fu-Ling (FL), Hua-Ju-Hong (HJH), Su-Zi (SZ) and Bu-Gu-Zhi (BGZ) were the most com-monly used single medicine. The most commonly used medicine groups were SZ-HJH-FL, XR-Y i-Y i-Ren (YYR), XR-HJH, XR-SZ and so on. It was concluded that four MH medical schools in the treatment of Chuan syndrome mainly used antitussive and antiasthmatic Chinese medicines such as YR, BX, SZ, and complemented with BGZ for deficiency-nourishing, FL for dampness-removing, HJH for qi-regulating. It provided references for the clinical practice and treatment of Chuan syndrome.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in BALB/c nude mice (NM) was re-produced by hypodermic implanting human CNE-2 cell to the right-side of neck-backposi-tion. The changes of plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) and cAMP/cGMP ratio in NM bea-ring human NPC were examined. Meanwhile, we observed that tumor's size, plasma MDAand cAMP/cGMP ratio in NM bearing human NPC were affected by polysacchoridopetide(PSP). Results indicated that in comparison with the control group, NM bearing humanNPC showed a marked increase in plasma MDA(18.25?1.37 nmol/ml),cAMP/cGMP ratio(4.55?0.35), a marked decrease in plasma, cAMP (71.83?8.51 pM/ml) and cGMP(15.77?0.65 pM/ml), both high or low-concentration PSP inhibited NPC growth.Rate of inhibition was between 59.58 to 95.53 percent. PSP decreased plasma MDA,elevated cAMP, cGMP's levels and recovered cAMP/cGMP ratio. Our results suggestedthat the elevated level of MDA in NM bearing human NPC was closely associated withthe presence of NPC. PSP had antitumor effect, probably by means of decreasing freeradicals and recovering cAMP/cGMP ratio.

To evaluate the value of detection of DNA aneuploidy in exfoliated airway epithelia cells of sputum specimens by the automated image cytometry for the identification of lung cancer, 100 patients were divided into patient group (50 patients with lung cancer) and control group (30 patients with tuberculosis and 20 healthy people). Sputum was obtained for the quantitative analysis of DNA content of exfoliated airway epithelial cells with the automated image cytometry, together with the examinations of brush cytology and conventional sputum cytology. Our results showed that DNA aneuploidy (DI>2.5 or 5c) was found in 20 out of 50 sputum samples of lung cancer, 1 out of 30 sputum samples from tuberculosis patients, and none of 20 sputum samples from healthy people. The positive rates of conventional sputum cytology and brush cytology were 16% and 32%, which was lower than that of DNA aneuploidy detection by the automated image cytometry (P<0.01, P>0.05). Our study showed-that automated image cytometry, which uses DNA aneuploidy as a marker for tumor, can detect the malignant cells in sputum samples of lung cancer and it is a sensitive and specific method serving as a complement for the diagnosis of lung cancer.
