OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy and safety of tripterygium glycosides combined with valsartan in the treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy(IMN). METHODS:A total of 85 patients with IMN were enrolled and randomly divided into observation group(42 cases)and control group(43 cases). Based on routine treatment(reducing lipid,anti-platelet ag-gregation,protein dietary restriction),control group was additionally given oral valsartan,with initial dose of 80 mg/d,and gradu-ally adding the amount to 160 mg/d if there was no obvious ADR;based on control group,observation group was additionally giv-en Tripterygium glycosides tablet 40 mg,tid,and reducing the amount to 20 mg,tid after complete remission. 2 groups were treat-ed for 12 months. RESULTS:Total effective rate of observation group was 92.86%,which was significantly higher than that of con-trol group(74.42%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). Compared with before treatment,the levels of 24 h urine protein,TC and TG of 2 groups were decreased after treatment,and serum albumin(ALB)of observation group increased;24 h urine protein and TG of observation group was lower than control group,while the serum level of ALB was higher than control group,with sta-tistical significance(P<0.05 or P<0.01). No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Tripterygium glycosides com-bined with valsartan can improve the kidney function and blood lipid level of IMN patients with high safety.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of lung cancer Ⅳ recipe combined with chemotherapy on treating middle and advanced stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the elderly.Methods A total of 77 NSCLC patients in middle and advanced stages aged 70 years and over who had heat-toxin syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) were selected from Apr.2013 to Oct.2014 in our hospital.Patients were randomly divided into chemotherapy group (n=39) and chemotherapy + herbs group (n=38).Karnofsky assessment scale (KPS),effective rate,symptom and sign in traditional Chinese medicine,changes in the levels of high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP),carcino embryonic antigen (CEA),neuron specific enolase (NSE),tumor special growth factor (TSGF) were observed before and 1 and 56 days after treatment.Results There was no significant difference in effective rate between the two groups (P＞0.05).The KPS and symptom and sign in TCM were improved significantly in chemotherapy + herbs group as compared with chemotherapy group (36.7 ％ vs.26.5 ％,80.0 ％ vs.58.8 ％,respectively (x2 =2.721,6.731,both P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in hs-CRP,NSE,CEA,TSGF levels between two groups before and after treatment (P＞0.05),but hs-CRP level in both groups was decreased after treatment as compared to pre-treatment and the decvease was more obvious in chemotherapy + herbs group (51.47％ vs.23.77％,x2 =19.713,P＜0.05).Conclusions Lung cancer Ⅳ recipe can improve the main clinical symptoms,quality of life and tolerance to chemotherapy in NSCLC patients with heat-toxin manifestation in TCM.There is a correlation between heat-toxin syndrome and hsCRP level in NSCLC patients,which shows that hs-CRP probably is the material basis of the heattoxin syndrome in TCM.

Objective To explore the changes of cytokine levels and their roles in morbidity of autoimmune thyroid disease(AITD) in children.Methods The serum concentrations of interleukin-4(IL-4),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?),interferon-? (IFN-?) were determined with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) among 30 patients with Graves′ disease (GD) and 20 patients with Hashimotos thyroiditis(HT) and 30 children without AITD subjects.Results The serum levels of IL-4 and IL-6 in patients with GD were higher than those of subjects (Pa

Objective To study the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist(exendin-4)on insulin signaling pathway in skeletal muscle of mice with insulin resistance(IR). Methods Thirty male KM mice were divided into normal control group(NC group, n=10)and IR group(n=20). The mice in NC group and IR group were fed with routine diet and high-fat diet for 16 weeks, respectively. After IR models were successfully established, 10 mice in IR group were treated with exendin-4(Ex group, 3μg·kg-1·d-1)for 4 weeks. NC group and IR group were given the same dose of normal saline. Body weight, fasting blood glucose(FBG), and fasting insulin(FINS)were measured before and after the intervention, and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR ) was calculated . The muscle glycogen content were measured by Periodic Acid-Schiff Stain ( PAS ) . The expressions of insulinreceptor(IRC), insulin receptor substrate-1(IRS-1), and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)in the skeletal muscle were measured by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Results Before intervention, the body weight, FBG, and HOMA-IR of IR group and Ex group were higher compared with NC group(all P<0. 05), but FINS did not rise significantly(P>0. 05). Compared with before intervention, the body weight of three groups after intervention were all increased, but increased more significantly in the IR group. After intervention, the FBG and HOMA-IR in Ex group decreased, compared with IR group and Ex group of non-intervention (all P<0. 05), but FINS did not decrease significantly(P>0. 05). The skeletal muscle cells in NC control were colored extensively and more colored granules, while IR group were less colored, and Ex group were between NC group and IR group. Compared with NC group, the expressions of IRC, IRS-1, and PI3K in the skeletal muscle of IR group were significantly decreased(P<0. 05), not in Ex group(P>0. 05). Compared with IR group, the expressions of IRC, IRS-1 and PI3K in Ex group were higher(P<0. 05). Conclusions Exendin-4 improves insulin resistance by up-regulating the expressions of IRC, IRS-1, and PI3K in the skeletal muscle and promoting the synthesis of muscle glycogen.
