Objectives:To study the effect of Basen on the sensitivity of insulin in diabetes mellitus.Methods:Blood glucose,lipoprotein,insulin,C-peptide were assayed after and before the administration of Basen.Results:Levels of insulin,blood glucose,and C-peptide were lowered after four weeks administration of Basen,which changed contrarily to ISI.Conclusions:Basen has effects not only on lowering blood glucose but also on improving the insulin resistance.

Objective: To explore relationship between sulfonylurea receptor gene polymorphism and type 2 diabetes mellitus in Chinese subjects. Methods: Polymorphism of exon 16-3T→C in SUR gene 1 in 155 type 2 diabetic subjects and 132 controls were assessed by restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results: Frequency of “C” allele and “CC” homozygous phenotype in type 2 diabetic subjects was higher than that in control group. Conclusion:Allele “C” stands for hereditary susceptibility to diabetes.

Objective Curcumin and MS-275,an inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC),are promising anti-tumor agents. The aim of present study was to investigate the mechanisms of apoptosis induced by combined use of MS-275 in low dosage and curcumin in prostate cancer cell line DU145. Methods MTT assay was used to evaluate the lethal effect on DU145 cells by solitary use of MS-275 and or combined with curcumin. The changes in cell life cycle was detected by flow cytometry. The expressions of the survival signaling pathways were determined by Western blotting. Results Solitary application of MS-275 or curcumin may inhibit the growth of DU145 cells in a time and dose-dependent manner. The combination of MS-275 (1?mol/L) and curcumin (20?mol/L) exhibited obvious cytotoxic effect on cell viability,which was only 45.9% 48h after the combined treatment. Cell cycle assay showed that the combination of MS-275 and curcumin resulted in obvious appearance of sub-G1 phase in DU145 cells,implying that the cell apoptosis had been induced. The results of Western blotting showed that after treatment of MS-275 or curcumin singly,the phosphorylation level of Akt and ERK kinase declined slightly,however,when MS-275 and curcumin were used together,there appeared a prominent inhibitory effect on Akt and ERK kinase,indicated by a sharp decline of their phosphorylation level,and at the same time,the level of cleaved PARP,a hallmark of apoptosis,was increased in DU145 cells. Conclusion Combined use of MS-275 and curcumin may exert a synergistic cytotoxic effect on the viability of DU145 cells,and exhibit an inhibitory activity on Akt and ERK kinases to induce apoptosis.

Objective To study the clinical significance of the mRNA expression level of a novel gene which encodes a kind of transmembrane prostate protein induced by androgen-PMEPA1, as it may predict the progress of prostate cancer from hormone-dependent to hormone-independent. Methods We used Real-time PCR to detect the mRNA expression of PMEPA1 and GSTP1 in prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP, PC-3), epithelia cells of benign prostatic hyperplasia and tissues from 33 patients with prostate cancers and 16 cases of prostatic hyperplasia. Results We found the mRNA expression of GSTP1 and PMEPA1 were both down-regulated in prostate cancer cell lines. The mRNA expression of GSTP1 was up-regulated in 6.1% of cases, down-regulated in 81.8%, and showed no difference in 12.1%. While PMEPA1 was highly expressed in 27.3% of cases, lowly expressed in 27.3%, and not differently expressed in 45.4%. Statistical analysis showed that the mRNA expression of GSTP1 was relevant to ages, but had no relationship with PSA, TNM stage, osseous metastasis or tumor differentiation, while the mRNA expression of PMEPA1 was relevant to osseous metastasis and tumor differentiation, but had no relationship with age, PSA or TNM stage. Conclusions PMEPA1 is possibly a useful biomarker, as it can identify patients with unfavourable prognosis, however, this hypothesis needs to be further studied with large samples.

Objective With the method of detecting hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid(HBV-DNA) gene in breast milk,in ordered to diagnose whether there is HBV in breast milk in those mothers whose HBsAg are positive.Methods Collected breast milk from 187 mothers whose HBsAg were positive,and complified HBV-N gene in breast milk by Nested-Polymerase chain reaction (Nested-PCR).Results Nested-PCR could detect HBV-DNA in breast milk,and the positive rate was 3.2%.Conclusion The method of detecting HBV-N gene in breast milk by Nested-PCR can detect HBV-DNA in breast milk,and it can be an laboratory evidence for whether breast feeding or not.

Objective To explore the value of color doppler ultrasonography by bed side in the early diagnosis of HIE in full term neonates.Methods The changes of cerebral parenchymal and cerebral arterial blood stream parameter on 35 cases of neonates clinically diagnosed HIE of mild and moderate degree and 40 cases of normal newborns on the 24,48 and 72 hours after birth were observed by color doppler ultrasonography by bed side.Results 1.The cerebral parenchyma was even echo in normal newborns,but it was maldistributed and reinforced in mild asphyxia neonates and it was more serious in moderate degree.The echo of cerebral parenchyma in mild degree was near normal in 48 hours after birth,while the echo of cerebral parenchyma in moderate degree was still maldistributed and reinforced in 48 and 72 hours after birth.2.There was obvious changes in the cerebral arterial blood stream parameter and hemodynamics of the asphyxia newborns compared with normals.The systolic peak velocity(Vs)and end diastolic velocity(Vd)of the cerebral arteries in mild and moderate degree were obviously lower than that of control group in 24,48 hours after birth(Pa0.05).3.Resistance index(RI)of the cerebral arteries in mild and moderate degree were higher than that of control group in 24,48 hours after birth(Pa0.05).Conclusion Color doppler ultrasonography by bed side is a convenient,noninvasive method for diagnosing HIE.
