Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy, especially the comprehensive improvement of blood glucose and lipid of probucol and metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperlipidemia. Methods:Totally 105 patients with type 2 di-abetes mellitus complicated with hyperlipidemia were randomly divided into the control group1 (35 cases), the control group 2 (34 ca-ses) and the observation group (36 cases). The control group 1 was treated with diet control, exercise and metformin, the control group 2 was treated with rosuvastatin calclum tablets based on the group 1, and the observation group was treated with probucol based on the group 1. The three groups were continuously treated for 12 weeks. The improvement of the fasting blood-glucose (FPG), 2h postprandial blood glucose (PBG), hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), fasting insulin levels (Fins), insulin resistance indices (HOMA-IR) and TC, TG and HDL-C, and the adverse reactions among the three groups were compared. Results:The total effective rate in the ob-servation group was higher than that in the control group 1 and 2 (P<0. 05). After the treatment, all the indices of blood glucose and lipid in the three groups were significantly improved (P<0. 05), and those of blood glucose in the observation were better than those in the control group 1 and 2(P<0. 05), those of blood lipid in the observation group and the control group 2 were better than those in the control group 1 (P<0. 05), and the level of HDL-C in the observation group was much higher than that in the control group 2 (P<0. 05). The adverse drug reactions in the three groups were mild without statistical significance (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Probucol as one of lipid-lowing drugs with antioxidant action combined with metformin can improve blood lipid and lower blood glucose at the same time, which is worthy of promoted application in clinics.

Objective To examine the expressions of serum growth hormone (ghrelin), leptin (LP), in sulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP3) in children with id-iopathic short stature (ISS), and their significance. Methods A total of 40 patients with ISS were selected from May. 2012 to Oct. 2014 in Fuyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital, while a total of 40 children in good health were selected as the control group. Serum ghrelin and LP levels were measured by ELISA. Serum IGF-1 and IGF-BP3 levels were detected by chemiluminescence immune assay. Results were analyzed statistically. Results The height, weight, BMI, GH, serum LP, IGF-1, and IGFBP3 levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, while serum ghrelin expression level was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05). The correlation analysis showed that ghrelin and LP were negatively correlated(r=-0.611, P<0.01), ghrelin and IGF-1 levels were negatively correlated(r=-0.520, P<0.05), Ghrelin and IGFBP3 were pos-itively correlated (r=0.586, P<0.01), IGF-1 and IGFBP3 was negatively correlated (r=-0.576, P<0.01), and LP and IGFBP3 were negatively correlated (r=-0.609, P<0.01). Conclusions It shows that ghrelin, LP, IGF-1, and IGFBP3 levels in children with ISS are related to growth hormone secretion status. The interactions between ghre-lin and insulin-like growth factor axis regulate growth and development of children.

Objective:To preliminarily explore the synthesis of a quercetin derivative 3′,4′,5,7-four-(O-methoxy carbonyl meth-yl) quercetin and its pharmacological activities. Methods:Quercetin as the reactant and N,N-dimethyl-formamide ( DMF) as the sol-vent, the target product 3′,4′,5,7-four-(O-methoxy carbonyl methyl) quercetin was obtained by the slow addition of methyl chloroace-tate in the presence of anhydrous K2 CO3 to introduce ether bond at 3′,4′,5,7- bit. The structure was characterized by LC-MS, 1 H-NMR and element analysis. The nanoemulsion of the product was prepared using a film dispersion method, and with intraperitoneal in-jection, the effect on pituitrin-induced myocardial ischemia cardiovascular system in rats was observed. Results:3′,4′,5,7-Four-(O-methoxy carbonyl methyl) quercetin was successfully synthesized, and could be metastasized to a demethylation product containing dis-tal free carboxyl with increased polarity proved by metabolic tests in vitro. The results of electrocardiogram and animal experiments showed that the compound had improving effects on pituitrin-induced myocardial ischemia in rats. Conclusion: The nanoemulsion of 3′,4′,5,7-four-(O-methoxy carbonyl methyl) quercetin with intraperitoneal injection shows significant antagonism against pituitrin-in-duced myocardial ischemia in rats.
