Clinical Medicine of China 2012;28(1):32-34
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of alpha-lipoic acid on serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and high sensitive-C reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in patients with early diabetic nephropathy (DN).MethodsA total of 61 patients with early DN were randomized into treatment group (n =31 ) and control group ( n =30 ).The two groups were both treated with dietary control and oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin.Meanwhile,the treatment group was additionally given alpha-lipoic acid 300 mg/d by intravenous infusion for 20 days.The levels of sICAM-1 and hs-CRP in each group were detected.Results The levels of sICAM-1 and hs-CRP were decreased significantly in alpha-lipoic acid treatment group after 20 days of therapy ( [ 198.03 ±23.67] μg/L vs [271.17 ±34.66] μg/L,[5.16 ±0.43] mg/Lvs [7.95 ±0.88]mg/L,P <0.01 ).Conclusion alpha-lipoic acid may decrease the expression of slCAM-1 and hs-CRP,and that may be one of the mechanisms to postpone the progress of early DN.

Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2009;25(12):1552-1555
Emodin is the main effective monomer of Rhubarb, which has a variety of pharmacological actions and valuable clinical applications.Recently, there are many reports about molecular mechanisms of emodin pharmacological actions,and they givehighly attention on the dephlogisticating and antineoplastic effects. These effects are achieved through affecting the concentration and transportation of ions, resisting of oxidation and free radical, and affecting the secretion of inflammatory factor and the enzyme activity and apoptosis and so on. This article summarizes the reports and hopes to provide theoretical basis for the practical application.

Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2016;23(6):31-34
Objective To discuss the application effect of TCM constitution recognition on TCM chronic disease refining health management for type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods Totally 140 outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from Chaoyangmen Community Health Center were selected and divided evenly into two groups after TCM constitution assessment. The study lasted for 2 years (1st August 2013–31st July 2015). The control group (70 cases) received diabetes community health management. In addition to routine community health management, TCM constitutional management was also administrated in the intervention group. The latter group received medicine, food, sport guidance according to the results of TCM constitution assessment. The blood glucose, blood lipid, BMI and waist-hip ratio of the two groups were monitored, and the self-management and life quality of patients were evaluated. Results After the intervention, significant improvement was found for fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose, BMI, waist-hip ratio and blood lipid both in the control group and the intervention group, and the improvement in the intervention group was more obvious than the control group (P<0.05). The whole level of self-management and life quality was greatly increased in both groups, while improvement of the intervention group was much higher than the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Integrated application of TCM constitutional theory in TCM chronic disease refining health management for type 2 diabetes mellitus will contribute to improving patients’ self-management, changing their clinical symptoms and finally improving their life quality.
4.Advances in genetics of intracranial aneurysm
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2016;24(8):760-764
Intracranial aneurysm is an abnormal bulging of intracranial artery wall. Its rupture can lead to subarachnoid hemorrhage. About 50% of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage will die or have poor outcomes. At present, intracranial aneurysm is considered as a complex disease associated with genetic and environmental factors. Although the etiology of intracranial aneurysm is not completely clear, a lot of evidence has shown that the genetic factor plays an important role in the processes of its occurrence, development and rupture. This article reviews the advances in gene linkage research, genome wide association studies, and gene expression research in intracranial aneurysm in recent years.
5.Research advances in molecular mechanism of pharmacological actions of oxymatrine
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2015;(6):759-762
Oxymatrine is the main effective monomer of Radix Sophorae flavescentis( Kushen) , which has a variety of pharma-cological actions and valuable clinical applications. Recently, there are many reports about molecular mechanisms of oxymatrine pharmacological actions, giving highly attention to the anti-in-flammatory, anti-fibrosis and antineoplastic effects. These effects are achieved through resisting of oxidation and free radical, anti- <br> virus, and affecting the secretion of inflammatory factor and ap-optosis and so on. This article summarizes the reports on the mo-lecular mechanism of the protection on liver, cardiovascular sys-tem, endocrine system and nervous system, hoping to provide theoretical basis for the practical application.

10.EFFECT OF EXOGENOUS HORMONES ON LYMPHATIC STOMATA IN OVARIAN BURSA AND LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE IN MICE
Acta Anatomica Sinica 1957;0(04):-
Objective To investigate the effect of steroid hormones on lymphatic stomata of ovarian bursa and fluid adsorption. Methods The lymphatic adsorption was traced by trypan blue,and the ultrastructure of the lymphatic stomata and estrogen receptor level of mesothelial cells on ovarian bursa was observed by scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy and immuno-colloid golden technology. Results The absorption and opening area of lymphatic stomata were enhanced in estrogen group mice,and decreased in androgen group as compared to control group mice.Estrogen receptor was first identified in the nuclei of mesothelial cells on the inner layer of mice ovarian bursa and the level was down-regulated by estrogen and slightly up-regulated by androgen.Conclusion The absorption and the opening area of lymphatic stomata can be regulated by steroid hormones in mice,and the machanism may be related to the expression levels of estrogen receptor in the nuclei of mesothelial cells.
