Objective To evaluate the effect of curcumin on spinal inflammatory factor in rats with diabetic neuropathy. Methods Diabetic neuropathy was induced by intraperitoneal injection with 1% STZ (60 mg/kg) in sprague-dawley rats. These diabetic rats were randomly allocated to diabetic group (D group, n=10) and curcumin group ( C group , n = 10 ) . Another 10 age-matched normal rats served as controlled group ( N group , n = 10 ) . 28 days after STZ injection, the rats in C group received daily intragastric administration of curcumin (200 mg/kg) whereas those in D group received the same volume of normal saline for 2 weeks. Caudal vein blood glucose levels at T1( before STZ injection)and at T2-T8(2、7、14、21、28、35、42 days after STZ injection)from all rats were detected. Responses to the mechanical stimulus were measured with von Frey filament, and paw withdraw threshold (PWT) was recorded at T1 and at T3 to T8. At T8,the rats were killed and lumbar segments of spinal cord were removed to detect TNF-αand IL-6 content. Results Compared to N group, rats in both C and D group showed hyperglycemia at T2 to T8 (P<0.05) and lower PWT at T4~ 8 (P < 0.01). Compared to D group, C group showed higher PWT at T7,8(P<0.05). Both D and C group showed higher levels of blood sugar at T2 ~ 8 than that at T1 (P < 0.05). C group showed higher PWT at T7,8 than that at T6(P<0.05). Compared to N group,spinal TNF-αand IL-6 content increased in both D and C groups (P<0.05). Compared to D group, C group had reduction of TNF-αand IL-6 concentration (P < 0.05). Conclusion Curcumin can attenuate diabetic neuropathic pain on rats probably by reducing inflammatory factor in spinal cord.

Liver fibrosis occurs as compensatory responses to tis-sue repairing process in a wide range of chronic liver injures.It is characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM)in liver tissues.The new discovery shows that suppres-sor of cytokine signaling (SOCS-3)is strictly associated with fi-brogenic progression of chronic liver diseases.Recent basic and clinical investigations also demonstrate that liver fibrogenesis is accompanied by SOCS-3,which critically determines the patho-
genesis and prognosis of liver fibrosis.This review summarizes current knowledge on SOCS-3 and the relationships between SOCS-3 and liver fibrosis.On the other hand,it also presents the different strategies that have been used in experimental mod-els to counteract excessive SOCS-3 and the role of SOCS-3 in the prevention and treatment of liver fibrosis.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of adrenocorticotropin-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (AIMAH). Methods The clinical symptoms, endocrinological and radiological characteristics, treatment modalities, and postoperative clinical course of 12 AIMAH patients were retrospectively reviewed. There were 5 men and 7 women with an average age of 48 years old. Results All cases had some clinical features and biochemical evidence of Cushing's syndrome. The circadian rhythm of serum cortisol was abnormal. Low- and high-dose dexamethasone suppression tests failed to suppress cortisol secretion. CT or MRI scan showed bilateral enlargement of the adrenal glands with multiple macronodules. Bilateral adrenalectomy was performed in three patients and unilateral adrenalectomy combined with contralateral subtotal adrenalectomy was performed in one patient. Seven patients underwent unilateral adrenalectomy of the larger gland. The removed adrenal glands weighted within 8-96 g range and pathologic diagnoses were nodular or adenomatoid hyperplasia of adrenal cortex. The duration of postoperative follow-up was 14 to 124 months. Clinical symptoms of Cushing's syndrome disappeared after surgery in all cases and there was no Nelson's syndrome after bilateral adrenalectomy. Urinary free cortisol and serum cortisol were within normal ranges. No further enlargement of the contralateral gland has been noticed in patients who received unilateral adrenalectomy during the follow-up.Conclusions AIMAH had unique endocrinological and pathological features. Unilateral adrenalectomy appears to be an effective and safe alternative treatment for AIMAH. Bilateral adrenalectomy or unilateral adrenalectomy combined with contralateral subtotal adrenalectomy may be performed if the symptoms had not been improved or recurred after unilateral adrenalectomy.
