4.Combination therapy of DPP-4 inhibitor and metformin: Rationality and its evidence
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2012;(12):1033-1035
Metformin improves glycemic control mainly due to improved insulin sensitivity.Dipeptidyl peptidase-4(DPP-4) inhibitor,which suppresses degradation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and maintains the bioactivity of endogenous GLP-1,improves islet dysfunction.Moreover,recent studies suggested that metformin enhanced the biological effect of GLP-1 via different mechanisms and that DPP-4 inhibitor enhanced insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes.Therefore,the combination therapy of DPP-4 inhibitor and metformin could simultaneously ameliorate the two major defects of type 2 diabetes and obtain complementary and synergistic benefits for glycemic control.

Aim To investigate the effect of pentoxifylline(PTX) on rat mesangial cells(MCs) proliferation and the expression of connective tissue growth factor(CTGF) protein cultured in high glucose concentration. Methods The MCs were divided into 4 groups: ①normal glucose group(NG,5 mmol?L -1 D glucose),②high glucose group(HG, 30 mmol?L -1 D glucose),③HG+0 36 mmol?L -1 PTX,④HG+1 08 mmol?L -1 PTX. 72 hours later, the proliferation activity of mesangial cells was observed by MTT assay, the expression of CTGF protein was detected by Western blot. Results Compared with normal glucose group, high glucose significantly increased MCs proliferation activity and the expression of CTGF. PTX of different concentration suppressed the proliferation of the MCs and down regulated the expression of CTGF. Conclusion PTX can suppress the proliferation activity of MCs cultured in high glucose and decrease the expression of CTGF, which implies PTX probably decreases the accumulation of extracellular matrix(ECM) and slows the progression of glomerular hypertrophy and glomerulosclerosis in this way. Thus it demonstrates the protective effect of PTX in diabetic nephropathy(DN) from a new angle.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2017;33(5):392-395
With the decline in cognitive ability, loss of ability to live, the demand of care for the Alzheimer's patients gradually increased. Caregivers tended to bear a greater physical and mental burden. In this study, we found that the caregivers of senile dementia were prone to psychological problems such as depression and anxiety, which may be related to the caregiver's age and caregiving time, and the positive intervention can relieve the psychological problems of the caregivers. This article aims to provide a theoretical basis for nursing workers to explore more effective nursing measures, so as to improve the quality of life of dementia patients and caregivers.
