Objective To study the protective effects of momordica saponins compounds on the kidney of type 2 diabetic mice. Methods The mouse model of type 2 diabetes was induced by feeding high￣fat diet for a week,followed by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ)at 150 mg.kg-1 .The mice were randomly divided into groups of normal control group(A), model control group ( B), rosiglitazone group ( C, 0. 4 mg . kg-1 ), the compounds at low￣dosage group ( D, 350 mg.kg-1 ) and high￣dosage group(E,700 mg.kg-1 ).The levels of fasting blood glucose,UCr,SCr,TGF￣β1 ,mALB,and HbAlc were determined respectively after being treated for 12 weeks. Results Compared with normal control group,the level of fasting blood glucose,SCr,TGF￣β1 ,mALB,and HbAlc in all other groups increased significantly (P<0.01);Compared with model control group,the level of fasting blood glucose,SCr,TGF￣β1 ,mALB and HbAlc in all treatment groups decreased significantly (P<0.01) ,the level of UCr increased markedly (P<0.01). Conclusion The Momordica saponins compounds can inhibit renal injury and exert kidney protective effect on type 2 diabetic mice.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Na Zhi method (midnight-noon ebb-flow method) plus electroacupuncture in treating poststroke uninhibited neurogenic bladder.Method A total of 120 patients with uninhibited neurogenic bladder due to cerebrovascular diseases were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 60 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by Na Zhi method plus electroacupuncture; the control group was intervened by electroacupuncture. The intervention was conducted once a day, 30 min each time, for a total of 2 weeks. The daily voiding frequency index and maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) in the two groups were measured before and after the intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The total effective rate and markedly effective rate were respectively 98.2% and 89.5% in the treatment group versus 93.1% and 72.4% in the control group. There was a significant difference in comparing the markedly effective rate between the two groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in comparing the daily voiding frequency index between the two groups before the intervention (P>0.05); the daily voiding frequency index was significantly changed after the intervention in both groups (P<0.01), and the daily voiding frequency index of the treatment group was significantly different from that of the control group after the intervention (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in comparing the MCC before the intervention between the two groups (P>0.05); the MCC was significantly changed after the intervention in both groups (P<0.01); the MCC of the treatment group was significantly different from that of the control group after the intervention (P<0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture can produce a significant efficacy in treating uninhibitedneurogenic bladder, while it can produce a more significant efficacy when combined withNa Zhi method.
