This study was aimed to observe changes of key molecular in insulin signaling pathway in the hypothala-mus of rats to explore the mechanism of spleen yin deficiency diabetes-associated cognitive decline (DACD) and Zibu Piyin Recipe (ZBPYR) in order to provide new ideas and new clues for treatment of DACD. Rats were randomly divided into five groups, which were the control (Cont) group, diabetes (DM) group, spleen yin deficiency (pi) group, spleen yin deficiency diabetes (piDM) group and the ZBPYR group. Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) serine phos-phorylation levels and protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) serine phosphorylation levels which were involved in the insulin signaling were observed by western blotting in the hypothalamus to determine whether there were insulin signaling obstacles in the hypothalamus of rats. The results showed that the expression of p-IRS-1ser in the DM group, pi group and piDM group was increased compared with the Cont group (P< 0.05); while the p-Akt expression of the DM group and piDM group was decreased (P< 0.05). The expression of p-IRS-1ser in the ZBPYR group decreased compared with the DM group and piDM group (P< 0.05); while the level of p-Akt increased compared with the DM group and piDM group (P < 0.05). It was concluded that insulin signaling was not transduced normally in the hy-pothalamus of the DM group, pi group and piDM group. Insulin resistance may occur in the hypothalamus. And ZBPYR can correct insulin signaling transduction disorder.

Objective To investigate the relationship between gene polymorphisms of homocysteine (Hcy), metabolic enzymes methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase MTHFR C677T and chronic pulmonary heart disease (CPHD). Methods The gene polymorphisms of MTHFR C677T were determined by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP)in CPHD patients (n=120) and healthy control (HC, n=120), and genotyping was carried on. The automatic biochemistry analyzer was used to detect the level of Hcy and other related biochemical indicators. Results There was significant difference in Hcy level between the CPHD group and HC group (P<0.05). The mutation frequencies of CC, CT and TT were 24.17%, 43.33%and 32.50%, 35.00%, 47.50%and 17.50%in the CPHD group and HC group. The mutation frequencies of allele C/T were 45.83%and 54.17%in HC group, and 58.75%and 41.25%in control group. There was significant difference in the overall frequency distribution between the three genotypes (χ2 =8.010, P<0.05). The frequency of T allele was significantly higher in CPHD group than that in control group (χ2=8.025,P<0.05). Conclusion The increased Hcy and its metabolic enzyme MTHFR C677T may be involved in the occurrence and development of CPHD.

This study was aimed to observe different forms of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) and insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) in the hippocampus and cortex in order to further explore the role of Aβ and IDE on spleen yin deficiency di-abetes-associated cognitive decline (DACD), and the effect of Zi-Bu Pi-Y in method. The rats were randomly divided into five groups, which were the blank control (Cont) group, diabetes (DM) group, spleen yin deficiency (pi) group, spleen yin deficiency diabetes (piDM) group and Zi-Bu Pi-Y in recipe (ZBPYR) group. Soluble and insoluble Aβ in the hippocampus and cortex of rats were extracted by gradient centrifugation, and then measured by ELISA. The ex-pression of IDE was observed by western blot. The results showed that the content of soluble and insoluble Aβ1-42 in the hippocampus and cortex of the DM group and piDM group were higher than the Cont group. The soluble and in-soluble Aβ1-42 content in the hippocampus and cortex of the ZBPYR group were reduced compared with the DM group and the piDM group. The soluble Aβ1-40 in the cortex of the DM group, pi group and piDM group were in-creased compared with the Cont group (P < 0.05). The soluble Aβ1-40 content of the ZBPYR group was decreased compared with the DM group and the piDM group (P < 0.05). The expression of IDE protein was decreased in the hippocampus of the DM group and the piDM group compared with the Cont group (P< 0.05), and the IDE protein level in the hippocampus of the ZBPYR group was increased compared with the DM group and the piDM group (P<0.05). The expression of IDE protein in the cortex of the DM group, pi group and piDM group was lower than the Cont group (P< 0.05). The IDE protein level in the cortex of the ZBPYR group was reduced compared to the DM group (P< 0.05). It was concluded that the increased Aβ1-42 in brain may be a major pathological change of DACD and spleen yin deficiency DACD. The decreased IDE expression may be one of the reasons to induce increasing of Aβ1-42 level. The Zi-Bu Pi-Y in method may decrease the Aβ1-42 content by upregulating IDE protein expression.
