Objective To investigate and analyze the relative factors in elderly men with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)complicated with osteoporosis(OP),thus to provide guidance for prevention of OP complicated with T2DM in elderly men.Methods Dual X -ray absorptiometry determination of bone mineral density (BMD)of 67 cases of elderly men with diabetes,men were divided into OP group (n =32),NOP group (n =35).Then,we compared differences in body mass index(BMI),diabetes duration,fasting plasma glucose (FPG),glycosylated hemo-globin(HbA1c),patients'age,fasting insulin(FINS),insulin sensitivity index(ISI),quantitative of urinary albumin (ALb),quantitative of urinary protein in 24 hours and alkaliphosphatase level(ALP),low density lipoprotein choles-terin(LDL -C),triglyceride(TG),and made correlation analysis.Results Compared with those in NOP group,pa-tients in OP group had older age,longer disease course,smaller baric index,lower BMD,higher ALP,lower FINS,low-er ISI,higher HbA1c,higher quantitative of urinary protein in 24 hours and urinary albumin,higher LDL -C,which were significantly different (P <0.05);BMD of elderly men with T2DM was negatively correlated to patients'age, disease course,HbA1c,quantitative of urinary protein in 24 hours,ALb,ALP and LDL -C,but positively correlated to BMI,FINS and ISI.Conclusion Many factors,such as elderly,low body weight,long duration of the disease,high level of blood sugar,insulin dysfunction,low insulin sensitivity,high level of blood suger,insulin dysfunction,low insulin sensitivity,high serum alkalinephosphatase,high LDL -C and diabetic nephropathy,contribute to osteoporosis in elderly men with T2DM.

Berberine (BBR) is a type of alkaloids isolated from Coptidis Rhizoma and Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex and has been used to treat bacterial gastroenteritis, diarrhea and other digestive diseases for more than 1 000 years. According to recent studies, berberine has been found to have multiple pharmacological activities, including lowering blood glucose and lipid, anti-inflammation, antioxidation, relieving type 2 diabetic nephropathy (DN), diabetic cardiovascular disease, diabetic peripheral neuropathy ( DPN) and other complications. In this article, the authors summarized the literature reports about the effects of BBR in lowering blood glucose and preventing and treating the above type 2 diabetes and its complications, in order to provide reference to further studies and promotion of BBR's application.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of propofol sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy,we conducted a Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing propofol with traditional sedative agents.Methods Referring Cochrane Collaboration search strategy to develop retrieval in Medline,Web of Science,Wanfang and CNKI database to retrieve the anesthetic propofol and traditional agents in the literature for randomized controlled trials of gastrointestinal endoscopy,surgery and assess their recovery effect.Results Twenty-one original RCTs investigating a total of 1 765 patients,of whom 894 received propofol only and 871 received traditional sedative agents only,met the inclusion criteria.Research showed that compared with traditional anesthetics,no significant differences existed in anesthetic effects of propofol on gastrointestinal endoscopy surgery time.However,surgery can significantly shorten recovery time and the average discharge time; and higher recovery rates.The result of racial subgroup analysis showed:the anesthetic propofol can significantly shorten the time of gastrointestinal endoscopy surgery for Asian populations,but had little effect on the European population.Contrast method for subgroup analysis showed:anesthetic propofol could significantly shorten the ERCP angiography in gastrointestinal endoscopy surgery time,but has little effect on the UGE and colonscopy angiography.Conclusions Propofol is safe and effective for gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures and is associated with shorter endoscopy recovery and discharge time,higher post-anesthesia recovery scores.Care should be taken when extrapolating our results to specific practice settings and high-risk patient subgroups.

Through summarization on published literatures on allergic rat model in recent 20 years, domestic current research status and trend were analyzed. Some insights were provided on how to build a standard process for modeling and post-modeling evaluation. “Allergic rhinitis,” “rat model of allergic rhinitis”, or “animal experiment” was used as search terms. Related published articles were searched in the CNKI database from August, 1993 to October, 2013. Documents and data, including modeling method, drug dose, modeling cycle, model assessment described in the articles were extracted, summarized and quantitative analyzed. The results showed that 208 valid articles were included in this study. SD rat was used as animal model. Ovalbumin plus aluminum hydroxide were used as adjuvant sensitizing agents. Intraperitoneal injection plus nasal stimulation were the most commonly used modeling method. Behavioral evaluation scale score was used as the main evaluation index. It was concluded that currently there were many methods for allergic rhinitis animal modeling domestically. The post-modeling evaluation was relatively single. It was urgent and necessary to establish the standard process for modeling and post-modeling evaluation for allergic rhinitis animal model.

Objective Through researching the name,etiology,pathogenesis and therapeutic methods and prescriptions of the breast cancer in ancient medical documents to provide the theoretical basis and syndrome differentiation thinking for the treatment of breast cancer clinically.Methods By disease name searching,content analysis was used to screening the ancient literature that associated with breast cancer.The pathogenesis,treatment and medicine used of breast cancer in these ancient literatures were summarized.Results The stagnation of Qi and phlegm,blood stasis,and vital deficiency are important factors for breast cancer formation,while the deficiency of vital qi and viscera deficiency are important pathogenesis of breast cancer.Prevention before the onset of disease,eliminating pathogenic factors at the early period of the disease,supplement vital qi and eliminating pathogenic vital qi in the middle stage,and supplementing vital qi at the late stage of the disease should be emphasized.Meanwhile soothing liver to regulate mode and depression should also be paid attention.Conclusion The recognition of breast cancerby TCM and advantage of TCM in treating this disease need further literature researches.

Objective To study the connection between vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and pool prognosis in nephroblastoma.Methods Serum VEGF was measured with immuneohistochemical(ELISA) methods in 35 children of nephroblastoma at preope-ration,1 week,2 weeks after surgery respectively. Simple visiting happened after surgery 4,8,16,32 weeks.The countrol group was 35 healthy children. Result Before surgery,the median VEGF in the children was (89.47?22.45) ?g/L.After surgery 1 week,2 weeks,levels in the children fell significantly to (2.75?0.31) ?g/L,(1.52?0.18) ?g/L.There was a significant difference compared with preoperation ( t =4.125 P
