Objective To investigate whether Irisin improves islet β cells function in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)by enhancing autophagy through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)pathway,so as to provide new ideas for clinical treatment of chronic metabolic diseases such as T2DM and metabolic syndrome.Methods Thirty SD male rats were randomly divided into normal group(NC group),T2DM group,and Irisin intervention group(T2DM + Irisin group). High-fat and high-sugar diet for 5 weeks plus low-dose(35 mg/kg)streptozotocin(STZ)induced T2DM rat model. After 8 weeks of intraperitoneal injection of Irisin,rats were tested for fasting blood glucose(FBG),fasting insulin(FINS),triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C). The intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test(IPGTT),intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test(IPITT)and hyperglycemic clamp test were performed to assess the islet function and insulin resistance level of rats in each group. The expression levels of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway proteins and autophagyrelated proteins in the pancreas were subsequently detected by Western blot. The expression levels of insulin,microtubuleassociated protein 1 light chain 3(MAP1LC3),p62,and lysosomal associated membrane protein-2(LAMP-2)in rat pancreas were detected by immunohistochemistry(IHC).Results There was an interaction between FBG and intervention time in rats(F = 11. 751,P = 0. 000),and the FBG gradually decreased in the T2DM + Irisin group with the prolongation of the intervention time. From the 4th week of intervention,the FBG in the T2DM + Irisin group decreased significantly compared with that in the T2DM group(F = 1 008. 870,P = 0. 000). Compared with NC group,the serum concentrations of TC,TG,and LDL-C concentrations in the T2DM group significantly increased(each P = 0. 000),while the HDL-C concentrations significantly decreased(P = 0. 000). After Irisin intervention,the above indexes were all improved(P = 0. 010,0. 000,0. 000 and 0. 000,respectively). Western blot results showed that compared with NC group,p62 protein expression and LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰincreased significantly(P = 0. 008 and 0. 048,respectively),and LAMP-2 protein expression decreased significantly(P = 0. 000)in T2DM group. LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰexpression level further increased after Irisin intervention(P =0. 000),but p62 protein level significantly decreased(P = 0. 047)and LAMP-2 protein expression increased significantly(P = 0. 000),and the IHC results were consistent with the Western blot results. The levels of p-PI3K/PI3K,p-AKT/AKT and p-mTOR/mTOR decreased significantly in the T2DM group compared with NC group(P = 0. 006,0. 031 and0. 000,respectively),and the above indicators further decreased after Irisin intervention(P = 0. 033,0. 013 and 0. 000,respectively).Conclusion Irisin can enhance autophagy through PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway to improve islet βcells function,providing a new idea for the treatment of T2DM.

Objective To introduce transforming growth factor ?(TGF ?) and the relationship between TGF ? and graft rejection. Methods Relevent articles in recent years were reviewed.Results The immunodepressive function of TGF ? could resist transplant organ rejection injury in early postoperative period ; meanwhile TGF ? also caused fibroblast migration and promoted matrix deposition by increasing collagen production and decreasing collagen breakdown via inhibition of collagenases,which resulted in transplant organ fibrosis and arteriosclerosis, gene polymorphisms of the TGF ? were associated with it. Moreover,ischemia reperfusion injury and immunodepressive drug also affected production of TGF ?.Conclusion TGF ? as a pleiotropic and multifunctional cytokine contributes to the development of acute and chronic rejection.

Objective To investigate the teaching effectiveness of preventive medicine and ask the students for feedback on the curriculum in order to reform the teaching methods.Methods Questionnaire survey.Sampling survey.Results 89.2％ of students have realized the importance of preventive medicine.Respectively 16.4％ and 7.5％ of students have no interesting on the curriculum due to teachers'matter and students' idea that the course is uselessness for their major and future career.75.1％ of students are interest in Nutrition and Food Hygiene,35.2％ of students dislike Medical Statistics,and 45.3％ of students think the most tough part is Medical Statistics.78.9％ of students wish to have more practice lessons.30.5％ of students do not ask teachers questions because of no communication with teachers after class.Conclusions Preventive Medicine is still ignored by a few students.The more tough the content is,the less interest the students have. Repeatedly emphasizing the importance of Preventive Medicine in medical education,adopting and combining with the community practical cases in class lectures and frequently communicating between teachers and students after class are suggested.

Objective To observe the efficacy of irbesartan combined with metoprolol in the treatment of chronic congestive heart failure.Methods From April 2015 to April 2016,60 patients with chronic congestive heart failure in Central Hospital of Zhuji were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,30 cases in each group.The two groups were given conventional treatment,the control group was treated with metoprolol,and the observation group was treated with irbesartan combined with metoprolol.The changes of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD),left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD),heart rate,systolic pressure and diastolic pressure before and after treatment in two groups were observed.And the clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared.Results After treatment,compared with the control group,the heart function index of the observation group changed obviously,LVEF increased (t=5.88,P＜0.01),LVESD and LVEDD significantly decreased (t=7.19,4.11,all P＜0.01).The heart rate of the observation group was significantly slowed down (t=2.72,P＜0.01),systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were also significantly reduced (t=2.93,3.98,all P＜0.01).The total effective rate of the observation group was 93.3％,which of the control group was 73.3％,the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.32,P＜0.05).ConclusionIrbesartan combined with metoprolol in the treatment of chronic congestive heart failure has significant clinical efficacy,is conducive to ease the clinical symptoms and improve heart function effectively.

We observed in a pilot study that there was a transient elevation of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level shortly after the transplantation in the patient with ischemic heart failure, which is unexplainable by the simultaneous increase of the cardiac output and six-minute walk distance. Similar findings were observed in the phase I trial. We postulated on the basis of the finding of Fukuda in vitro that this transient elevation of BNP level against the improvement of cardiac function and exercise capacity might indicate cardiomyogenesis in patients after mesenchymal stem cell transplantation. Further study is warranted to verify the hypothesis.

Phase Ⅱ metabolic enzymes play pivotal role in the biotransform and metabolism of exogenous substances, which might influence its ability of metabolism and detoxification to exogenous carcinogens.Polymorphism have been demonstrated in various phase Ⅱ metabolic enzymes and etiology studies showed that individuals exposed to the same environment could develop different susceptibility to tumorigenesis due to different metabolic enzyme polymorphism. Here, we summarized the effects of phase Ⅱ metabolic enzyme polymorphism on the risk of cancer.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of cluster needling at the anterior oblique line of vertex-temporal plus speech training in treating motor aphasia after cerebral infarction.Method Forty patients with motor aphasia after cerebral infarction were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 20 in each group. Both groups were given basic neurological treatment. In addition, the treatment group was intervened by cluster needling at the anterior oblique line of vertex-temporal plus speech training, while the control group was by speech training alone. After 4-week treatments, the speech function and communication ability were observed and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The total effective rate was 90.0% in the treatment group versus 80.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the speech function score and Chinese Functional Communication Profile (CFCP) score were changed significantly in both groups (P<0.01). There were significant differences in comparing the speech function and CFCP scores between the two groups (P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion Cluster needling at the anterior oblique line of vertex-temporal plus speech training is an effective approach in treating motor aphasia after cerebral infarction.
