World Science and Technology-Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2015;(10):2125-2129
Large vascular lesions have become one of the main causes in the death and disability of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The article systematically and in-depthly studied the mechanism of large vascular lesions in T2DM, in order to seek effective drug prevention and treatment. It was of vital importance in the improvement of prognosis of T2DM patients. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the basic pathogenesis of T2DM large vascular lesions was deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality, in whichqi-yin deficiency was the origin and the obstruction of collaterals was the superficiality. In western medicine, the body endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress reaction and abnormal gene expression and so on could cause T2DM large vascular lesions. This article summarized related research literatures on both TCM and western medicine in recent years. It discussed studies on mechanism of T2DM large vascular lesions.
2.New insights into secondary iron overload
Chinese Journal of Practical Internal Medicine 2001;0(06):-
Most of the patients who suffer from secondary iron overloading are transfusion-dependent.Excess iron deposits in the important organs will have notable effect on survival.The serum ferritin can not reflect the iron stores in the specific organ rigorously.There are two noninvasive techniques that can assess tissue iron:superconducting quantum interface device and MRI-T2*.The patients who are transfusion-dependent should monitor the body iron stores and chelate the iron in time.Now the drugs for iron chelation therapy include deferoxamine,deferiprone and deferasirox.

BACKGROUND:Runx2 is considered to the main regulatory factor of osteogenic gene expression and be necessary for osteoblast differentiation, it plays an extremely important role in the osteoblast development, differentiation, regulation, bone calcification formation and bone repair.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the biological properties of mesenchymal stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth, explore the osteogenic differentiation potential of deciduous teeth stem cells, and observe the dynamic expression of Runx2 gene at varying time points.
METHODS:The stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth were isolated and cultured in vitro. The cellsurface antigen was detected with flow cytometry. The third passage cells were cultured in the adipogenic medium for 4 weeks, and oil red O staining was conducted to test lipid droplets formation. The third passage cells were cultured in the osteogenic medium for 21 days, and mineralized nodules were detected by alizarin red staining. Runx2 mRNA dynamic expression was detected with semi-quantitative RT-PCR at different time points.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth were obtained by enzyme digestion and limited dilution methods. Flow cytometry results showed that, CD146 and STRO-1 were expressed to varying degrees. Oil red O staining revealed salmon pink positive particles. Alizarin red staining showed positive expression. RT-PCR results showed that, Runx2 expression was found at day 0, up-regulated from day 0 to day 6, and subsequently dropped with an expression bottom at day 12, after that a second expression peak occurred at day 18, fol owed by a stably regulation. The stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth can be isolated and cultured in vitro, express surface antigen of mesenchymal stem cells, and have the potentials of differentiating into adipocytes and ostetoblasts. Runx2 gene profiles are dynamical y expressed during osteoblastic differentiation. Runx2 express throughout every stage of osteoblastic differentiation. The expression is up-regulated during early and later stages, and down-regulated in metaphase.

This article was aimed to study the characteristics of intestinal cancer by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) based on the scale-free network analysis method. History information of 145 hospitalized cases from 2008 to 2011 was collected from the Oncology Department, Guang A nmen Hospital, in the clinical collection system. The rule of medication in the treatment of intestinal cancer by TCM was explored by scale-free network analysis method from several aspects, such as effects, classification and compatibility relations. The analysis results of 145 intestinal cancer cases showed that strengthening the body resistance was the main treatment principle. Si-Jun-Zi (SJZ) decoc-tion was used with the highest frequency. In the prescription design, qi-supplementing herbs were the most. The heat-clearing, dampness-eliminating, qi-regulating, blood-activating and stasis-removing, food stagnation removing and phlegm-removing herbs were also used frequently. The TCM treatment and syndrome differentiation will be changed due to the treatment and disease stages. It was concluded that scale-free network analysis method is able to relatively show the TCM treatment rule of intestinal cancer quantificationally and intuitively.
