Two hundred male and 200 female patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted from January 2007 to April 2008 were enrolled in the study. Of them, 267 were diagnosed as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by ultrasonography. The measurements included:body mass index (BMI) ,waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) ,fasting blood glucose( FBG), ALT, AST, total bilirubin(TBIL), cholesterol(CHO),triglyceride(TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL-C) ,serum creatinine (Cr), supersensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and urine albumin/creatinine. The relationship of above factors with NAFLD was determined. Our data showed that male NAFLD patients were in general younger than female. The BMI ( t = 11. 361, P = 0. 000), waist circumference ( t = 9. 771, P =0. 000), hip circumference (t = 10. 469, P =0. 000) ,TG(t =7. 352, P =0. 000) and hsCRP (t =2. 242,P =0. 026) of NAFLD patients were significantly higher than those without NAFLD. The hsCRP of patients with central obesity was also significantly higher than those without central obesity (t = 0. 266, P = 0. 045 ).BMI and TG were positively correlated with NAFLD. Waist circumference was an independent factor of NAFLD in male patients, same as hip circumference with NAFLD in female patients. In conclusion, gender,central obesity and dyslipidemia may be risk factors for NAFLD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Binding sites or receptors for prolactin were identified in crude membrane fractions prepared from female lactating Sprague-Dawley rat using receptor radioassay. The results further indicated that the membrane of rat liver cells are rich in prolactin receptors, and the Scatchard analysis of the binding of ~(125)I-oPRL to receptors revealed that female rat liver cells contained two classes of prolactin receptors (Kd_1=3.20?10~(-10) M, Kd_2=1.26?10~(-8)M) with high specificity.

Objective To investigate the effect of low-intensity ultrasound on intraocular hypertension and its mechanicsm.Methods The intraocular hypertension rabbits were treated with ultrasound.The intraocular pressure(IOP),trabecular meshwork HE staining,EM microscopy,extracellular matrix through immunohistochemistry were performed.Results After treatment,IOP was descended and trabecula interspace was wider than the control eye.The expression of collagen I,laminin and fibronectin was inhibited.Conclusion Low-intensity ultrasound can decrease IOP.It may be related with the change of histologic structure of trabecular meshwork.

T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL),which is biologically similar to T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL),and occurs most frequently in childhood and adolescence.T-LBL progresses fast.The treatment of LBL with conventional chemotherapy regimens for NHL has shown relatively low rates of complete remission and of disease-free survival.Now,it is reasonable to treat patients with LBL with the current ALL-type protocols,and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may yield a more favorable overall survival (OS) in T-LBL patients,especial in relapsed or refractory LBL patients.

Objective]The paper summarizes the clinical experience of Professor Lu Su for treating menopausal syndrome.[Methods] By learning from Professor Lu Su, sum up the knowledge of etiology and pathogenesis, treatment characteristics and analyze cases. [Results]Professor Lu Su thought that the main etiological and pathogenesis of menopausal syndrome was that deficiency of the kidney-yin and hyperactivity of heart and liver fire. The kidney water cannot aid heart, the occurrence of heart(including liver) fire too strong, the heart is not calm, leading to hot flashes sweating, upset insomnia and other symptoms of menopausal syndrome. Therefore, she made a total therapeutic principle of invigoration of the kidney and nourishment of Yin, purging heart fire and soothing the nerves. Besides, the article introduces prescribing characteristics of other lesions relating to menopausal syndrome, such as blood stasis, phlegm, yang deficiency and disharmony between spleen and stomach. In treatment, Lu Su is good at syndrome differentiation and treatment, prescribing refinedly and simply, combining medication with psychotherapy. [Conclusion]Therapies of Professor Lu Su on treating menopausal syndrome have significant effect.

Objective:To alarm the effect of statins on blood glucose, and provide evidence for the rational use of statins in clin-ics. Methods:The recent articles on the effects and potential mechanisms of diabetogenic action of statins were reviewed and summa-rized. Results and Conclusion:Stains, especially lipophilic stains, could increase blood glucose via multiple pathways to induce dia-betes. The potential mechanisms included inhibiting L-type calcium channel, increasing the uptake of plasma-derived LDL-C, inhibi-ting synthesis of ATP and Coenzyme Q10, inhibiting the expression of glucose transporter 4 and inducingβ-cell inflammation, oxidation and apoptosis. Blood glucose should be monitored and adjusted timely when statins are used in clinics.

There were 417 scientific articles on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the 54th annual meeting of American Society of Hematology (ASH),including 46 articles on lymphoma.This article reviews latest research on non-myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for the treatment non-Hodgkin' s lymphoma presented in the meeting.

Objective: To explore the feature of theory of mind(ToM) in schizophrenic patients and the influencing factors. Methods: Subjects were 108 patients with schizophrenia, 21 with affective disorders and 21 normal subjects. Picture-story tasks, PANSS and WAIS-R were used to assess the patients' ToM, symptoms and intelligence. Results:It was found that the scores on first-order theory of mind tasks of schizophrenic patients with IQ below 70 were lower than normal subjects'(D = -56.58,P

Objective To explore the efficacy of treating primary dysmenorrheal with modified Shenghua decoction plus western medicine. Methods 120 patients with primary dysmenorrhea were randomly recruited into a control group and a treatment group, with 60 patients in each group. The control group was treated with prostaglandin synthetic inhibitor, and the treatment group was treated with modified Shenghua decoction on the basis of control group. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group and the control group was 90% and 73.3%, respectively, showing significant difference (X2=4.011, P <0.05 ) . Conclusion Modified Shenghua decoction plus western medicine is effective in treating, primary dysmenorrheal.

Objective To observe the effect of insulin glargine plus mefformin on inflammatory factors(IF) in the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes(T2DM).Methods 110 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM were given insulin glargine(beginning dose:10 U/d) and mefformin(0.5 g,tid) for 12 weeks;while 100 cases selected for the same period from the normal healthy population were taken as control group.Baseline fasting blood glucose(FPG),2 h postprandial blood glucose(2 hPG),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA_1c),C-reactive protein(CRP),TNF-α and IL-6 were observed.Results Before treatment,FPG,2 hPG,HbA_1c and IF in T2DM group were obviously higher than those in control group(P＜0.05),but there was no difference in other clinical data (P＞0.05).After 12 weeks treatment,in T2DM group there was a significant improvement in blood glucose targets [FPG from (14.8±3.9) mmol/L to (6.6±2.1) mmoL/L;2 hPG from (17.6±3.3) mmol/L to (8.3±1.2)mmol/L;HbA1c from (9.6±2.7)% to (6.5±0.8)%,t=7.40,8.37,3.98,P＜0.05],and the level of IF also decreased significantly [CRP from (8.8±2.5) mg/L to (5.5±1.4) mg/L;TNFα from (2.9±0.6) ng/L to (1.6±0.2) ng/L;IL-6 from(170.3±22.2) pg/L to (105.9±14.6) pg/L,t=4.61,3.52,5.68,P＜0.05].Conclusions Insulin glargine and mefformin combined therapy can improve glucose metabolism in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM,and decrease the levels of IF.
