Objective To observe the effects of Sanhuangtangshenkang particles on the expression levels of tumor ne?crosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6 in bone tissue of type 2 diabetic (T2DM) rat model. Methods There were seven groups of rats in this study. Ten female Wistar rats were used as control. Ten rats were established for osteoporosis model, and fifty rats were established for diabetic model. Fifty diabetic model rats were further divided into model control group, tra?ditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prevention group (high-dose TCM group, low-dose TCM group) and Western medicine group, with 10 rats for each group. All rats were given the corresponding intervention for 20 weeks. Automatic biochemistry analyzer was used to determine fasting blood glucose (FBG). ELISA was used to detect serum TNF-αand IL-6. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to assess bone density. Real-time PCR was used to appraise the mRNA of TNF-αand IL-6 in bone tissue. Western blot assay was used to measure protein expressions of TNF-αand IL-6 in bone tissue. Re?sults Compared with osteoporosis model group, bone density was significantly increased, serum levels of TNF-αand IL-6, the mRNA and protein expression level of IL-6 were significantly decreased in bone tissue of TCM groups and Western medi?cine group (P<0.05). The expression levels of TNF-αmRNA and protein were significantly decreased in bone tissue of in high-dose TCM prevention group and Western medicine group (P<0.05). Compared with the diabetic model group, the se?rum levels of FBG, TNF-αand IL-6 were significantly decreased in TCM groups and Western medicine group (P<0.05). The expression levels of TNF-αmRNA and protein were significantly decreased in high-dose TCM prevention group and Western medicine group (P<0.05). The mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-6 were significantly decreased in low-dose TCM prevention group and Western medicine group (P<0.05). Conclusion The expression levels of TNF-αand IL-6 are increased in serum and bone tissue of diabetic rats. Sanhuangtangshenkang particles can improve the inflammatorystate to play prevention and therapeutic effect on diabetic rats.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of Chinese herbal medicine 1023 Recipe in blocking cancer transformation of experimental oral precancerous lesion and its mechanism. METHODS: We treated the experimental oral precancerous lesion in hamster's cheek pouch using 1023 Recipe (consisting of Radix Astragali, Gynostemma Pentaphyllum, Rhizoma Chuanxiong and selenium-rich green tea) for 6 weeks, and observed its effect in blocking cancer transformation, detected 2 kinds of agglutinin receptors (receptors of wheat germ agglutinin and Ricinus communis agglutinin) in the mucosa of the hamster's cheek pouch. RESULTS: The rate of cancer transformation in 1023 Recipe treated group was lower than that in the control group without treatment (P<0.05). Agglutinin receptors in the two groups were different significantly. CONCLUSION: 1023 Recipe is effective in treating hyperplasia, and can prevent its cancer transformation. The mechanism may be that 1023 Recipe can induce precancerous lesions to differentiate into normal tissues.

ABSTRACT:Objective To investigate the regulation of adenovirus type 36 infection on precursor protein particles progranulin expression in Uygur obese patients.Methods Based on the diagnostic criteria of obesity,the samples were divided into obese group and non-obese group.Serum neutralization test was used to detect the antibody of Ad36.The progranulin mRNA expressions in abdominal omental and subcutaneous adipose tissues were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.ELISA method was used to determine serum progranulin protein levels. CD68 protein expression of macrophage was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results ① In the Uygur population of our study,compared with that in the non-obese group (38/1 1 7,32.5%),the number of obese patients (54/1 1 5,47.0%)infected with Ad36 was significantly higher than that in non-obese group (P <0.05 ).② Serum progranulin was significantly increased in the Ad36-infected obese group (408.45±1 56.92)than in non-obese group (326.1 1±1 58.60)(P <0.05).The mRNA expression of progranulin did not differ between the two groups.③ The macrophage infiltration was significantly higher in the Ad36-infected obese group (14 730.1 6 ± 2 227.39 )than in non-obese group (10 786.50 ± 2 772.80 )(P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Ad36 infection may be associated with the occurrence of obesity in Uygur population,and adenovirus type 36 infection may regulate the expression of serum progranulin at the protein level.

Repetitive(repetitive extragenic palindromic,REP,and enterobaterial repetitive intergenic consensus,ERIC) sequences in conjunction with polymerase chain reaction technique(REP and ERIC PCR) were used to fingerprint the genomes of 27 isolates of indigenous soybean rhizobia from Xinjiang.The indigenous soybean rhizobia in Xinjiang can be clustered into relative genetic similarities of approximately 0.5,of which one group mainly includes all slow-growing rhizobia,another mainly includes all fast-growing stains. REP and ERIC PCR analysis demonstrate a substantial genetic variability within members of Xinjiang indigenous soybean rhizobial populations, which reveals that genetic similarities have certain geographical correlation, and isolates from the same site have relative higher similarities.The results show that REP and ERIC PCR analysis give effective means in genetic diversity and population structure analysis of soybean rhizobia.

Objective:To access the feasibility and safety of application of flexible laryngeal mask air-way ( FLMA) in oral&maxillofacial day surgery. Methods:Retrospective study was conducted of 40 oral& maxillofacial day surgery patients (3 to 61 years of age) using FLMA under general anaesthesia in De-partment of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. All the patients were with American Society of Anesthesiologists ( ASA ) physical status Ⅰ -Ⅱ, including 19 males and 21 females. The patients' vital signs were recorded at five different time points:baseline before anesthesia ( T0 ) , time right after the FLMA insertion ( T1 ) , time at incision ( T2 ) , 15 min after incision ( T3 ) and time at the end of the operation ( T4 ) . The first attempted FLMA insertion successful rate and the number of timed of changing to endotracheal intubation were recorded. During operation, frequencies of movement, hypoxia and obstruction of airway were noted and the operation time, anesthesia time, time from the end of the operation to extubation, movement and coughing following extubation and sore throat within 24 h were taken down. Operation-related complications of bleeding, hematoma and injury of local nerves were recorded within 24 h as well. Results:The operations of all the 40 patients were successfully done under general anaesthesia. The 36 ( 90%, 36/40 ) patients using FLMA successfully were under steady process, including 16 males and 20 females. The first attempted successful rate of FLMA insertion was 80% (32/40), and the second 50% (4/8). Three out of the 4 failed FLMA patients were changed to endotracheal intubation after the second attempt failed. The other patient was changed to endotracheal intubation before operation because of leak. The average operation time was (46. 58 ± 22. 57) min, the anesthesia time was ( 77 . 97 ± 26 . 82 ) min and the time from the end of operation to extubation was (8. 31 ± 3. 33) min. All the patients were recorded without obvious body movement during the operation procedure. There were 4 patients (11. 11%, 4/36) with slight body movement during extubation. The incidence of sore throat was 13. 89% (5/36) within 24 h postoperatively. There were no complications of bleeding, hematoma and injury of local nerves. The vital signs of baseline T0 were significantly different from those at other time points T1, T2, T3, and T4 (P<0. 01). As to the hearts rate after anesthesia, the values at T1, T2, T3 and T4 for two-two comparison, there was no statistical difference (P>0. 05). As to the values of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure after anesthesia at T1 and T4 , T2 and T3, for two-two comparison, there was no statistical difference (P>0. 05). As to the respiratory rate from the start of the surgery, the values at T2, T3 and T4 showed no statistical difference (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Flexible laryngeal mask airway is a supraglottic airway management method. It is suitable and safe for securing the airway in oral & maxillofacial day surgery. The advantages of fewer haemody-namic changes and postoperative complications are confirmed.
