The pathogenesis of post- infectious irritable bowel syndrome(PI-IBS)involves abnormal intestinal immune barrier, which possibly includes the pathological aspects: Intestinal and systemic changes in T lymphocyte; the change of inflammatory cytokines; a increase in intestinal mast cells and enterochromaffin cells and so on. Treatment by western medicine based largely on symptomatic treatment. TCM thinks that the fundamental organ of the irritable bowel syndrome is the liver. Emotional factors inducing liver dysfunction lead to the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. The pathogenesis of IBS is, the disorder of movement of qi in liver and spleen. Stagnation of liver-QI with deficiency of the spleen or disharmony between liver and spleen is the key pathogenesis of post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome. On this basis, in various stages of the disease, there may be a different pathogenesis. As a special type of IBS, the balance of vital qi and evil factors determine the disease progression of PI-IBS, in the treatment course also should not forget dispelling pathogenic factors while strengthening body resistance, tonifying deficiency and removing dampness。

The current treatments of metastatic malignant melanoma include chemotherapy,targeted therapy,immune therapy and radiation therapy,but the treatment outcome is far from optimism.In order to im-prove the treatment efficiency,it is urgent to improve early diagnosis,and develop more effective treatment drugs and delivery systems.The application of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and therapy of melanoma can re-duce the resistance to the drugs,increase efficacy and reduce side effects.

AIM: To investigate the effects of berberine (Ber) on ion transport and hypersecretion induced by cholera toxin(ChT) in ileum and its mechanism. METHODS: Ussing Chamber technique was used to measure the potential difference(PD), short-circuit current(SCC), and the resistance(R) in isolated guinea-pig ileum. The effects of Ber on PD, SCC and R in glucose Tyrode solution or glucose-free Tyrode solution were examined. The secretory diarrhoea model was made by ChT to investigate the effects of ChT and ChT+Ber on PD, SCC and R. RESULTS: (1)The PD and SCC were decreased in glucose Tyrode solution by the Ber added in mocosal side or in serosal side in ileum of normal guinea-pig and which was with secretory diarrhoea ( P

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of TLR4, TLR9 and DC-SIGN in primary and recurrent condyloma acuminatum (CA) lesions. Methods An immunohistochemical method using streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) was performed to detect the expressions and distribution of TLR4, TLR9 and DC-SIGN in tissue specimens obtained from the recurrent CA lesions of 30 patients, primary CA lesions of 30 patients, and from the foreskin of 20 normal human controls. Results The expression levels of TLR4, TLR9 and DC-SIGN in primary and recurrent CA lesions were significantly higher than those in normal control tissue (all P < 0.001), and the cells expressing TLR4, TLR9 or DC-SIGN were mainly located in the basal and spinous layer in CA lesions. There was no significant difference in the expressions of TLR4, TLR9 or DC-SIGN between primary and recurrent CA lesions (all P> 0.05). A positive correlation was found between the expression of TLR4, TLR9 and DC-SIGN in CA lesions. Conclusion The overexpression of TLR4, TLR9 and DC-SIGN probably plays an important role in the occurrence and recurrence of CA.

Objective To analyze and compare two potency assay methods of protamine sulfate.Methods Heparin titration method was according to foreign pharmacopoeia,while biological assay method was according to China pharmacopoeia(2015).Results The absorbance at the end-point was stable at 0.10 mg/mL and 0.15 mg/mL test solutions.The relative standard deviations(RSDs)of potency results were all less than 5%.Three test solutions and volumes of the titrant had a good linear relationship(R2 =1.000).The results of titration method were significantly related to those of biological assay(P=0.013),with similar RSD(P>0.05).However,the potency of titration method were significantly lower than those of biological assay (P=0.045).Conclusion Heparin titration method is good-using,convenient,and need to be applied widely at home.

A total of 127 type 2 diabetic patients were divided into low glycemic index meal replacements (intervention) group and standard food-based diet (reference) group in an experiment for 12 weeks.The results showed that fasting plasma glucose,postprandial 2 h plasma glucose,fasting insulin,and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance(HOMA-IR) in the intervention group decreased significantly after 12 weeks trial ( P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ).However,there were no significant changes in lipid profile and HbA1C in intervention group.In addition,percentage of body fatty,visceral fatty area,and waist-hip ratio also decreased in intervention group( all P＜0.01 ).Superoxide dismutase and glutathione levels increased significantly in intervention group by the end of trial (both P＜0.01 ),while malondialdehyde was decreased (P＜0.01 ).There were no significant changes in the aforementioned indices in the reference group.Weight,body mass index,and waist circumferences were decreased in both groups,but without significant difference between the two groups.

Objective To test the effectiveness of an integrated intervention to improve control and management of type 2 diabetic patients.Methods The study was designed as a randomized and multi-center clinic trial for 24 weeks.150 overweight patients from 2 companies and one hospital in Shanghai were recruited.The principal objective of the project was to compare the effectiveness of a structured diabetes management program consisting of 200 kcal breakfast as a meal replacement with low glycemic index (GI),scheduled blood glucose monitoring(6 times per week),low GI diet consulting,monitoring and medical check up and nutritional education (diet consulting,health education on nutrition and healthy lifestyle) in overweight individuals with type 2 diabetes.Results At 12th week,the level of fasting blood glucose(FBG) in both groups decreased by 16.5% and 10.6%,and at 24th week,the FBG also decreased by 25.0% in intervention group,but in control group FGB increased 2.8% (P＜0.01).Meanwhile,there were 8.2% and 11.1% reductions in HbA1C respectively at 12th week and at 24th week in intervention group,while the values were increased slightly in control group(P＜0.01).Compared with control group,waist circumference,hip circumference,and blood pressure were significantly reduced after treatment for 24 weeks in intervention group (P＜0.01).Conclusions Integrated intervention is an effective approach in managing FBG,HbA1C blood pressure,and weight control in overweight diabetic patients.

Objective To explore the possible correlation between HbA1c level and nutritional status in community.based patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods A totaI of 219 type 2 diabetes patients were assigned into 2 groups:one with HbAIc<6.5%(n:108)and HbA1f≥6.5%(n=111).Metabolic parameters,food components.and nutritional status were compared between 2 groups.Results (1)49.32% of the participants attained HbA1c<6.5%.(2)HbA1c level was positively correlated with fasting plasma glucose,postprandial plasma glucose,and homeostasis assessment for insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)(r were 0.56,0.49,and 0.20,respectively,P<0.05 or P<0.01),but negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C)(r=0.16,P<0.05).(3)Linear regression analysis showed that energy,carbohydrate,protein,and fat were the independent risk factors of HbA1c(all P<0.05).(4)Patients with HbA1c<6.5%consumed more fruits.The intake of pure energy-providing foods and protein-,fat-,or saturated fatty acid-rich foods were more frequent in patients with HbA1c≥6.5%(P<0.05).(5)The linear regression revealed that HbA1c level were decreased 0.36%(P<0.10)or 0.46%(P<0.01)by intake of more fruits,roughage and beans,and HbA1c levels were also decreased 0.42%(P<0.05)or 0.37%(P<0.10)by intake of less meat or oils.Conclusions In communitybased patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,the incidence of HbA1c<6.5% remains low,There exists great difference in nutritional status between the groups with high and low HbA1c levels.The impact of diet OB HbA1c level is great.It's necessary to emphasize the importance of diet therapy far better diabetes control.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of garlicin on oxidative stress injury of human melanocytes.Methods There were blank group,control group,hydrogen peroxide group,garlicin group,experiment 1,2 and 3 groups.No cells in the blank group were only added with complete culture medium.The control group was added with complete medium;0.4 mmol/L hydrogen peroxide complete medium was added to the hydrogen peroxide group.Garlicin group was added with freshly prepared garlicin complete culture medium with concentration of 40 μmol/L;Experiment groups 1,2,and 3 were treated with different concentrations of garlicin (80,40,and 20 μmol/L garlicin complete medium,respectively) to interfere with melanocytes treated with 0.4 mmol/ L hydrogen peroxide during logarithmic growth period.After 24 h of drug intervention,the cell morphology was observed under an inverted microscope.The protective effect of garlicin on melanocytes damaged by oxidative stress was measured by MTT colorimetric method.Results Different concentrations of garlicin had different protective effects on melanocytes induced by hydrogen peroxide.It could be concluded that the activity of melanocytes in hydrogen peroxide group decreased significantly (43.610 ± 3.872)％ (P＜0.05),but there was no statistical difference between the two groups (P=0.345).The activity of melanocytes in experimental group 1 was significantly decreased (58.223 ± 2.806) ％ but higher than that in experimental groups 2 and 3 (P＜0.05).Conclusions Allicin inhibits the production of intracellular ROS in human melanocytes induced by H2 O2,regulates oxidative stress in human melanocytes,and counteracts H2O2-induced apoptosis.Therefore,allicin may be a protective factor in mediating oxidative stress in the body.
