Objective: To evaluated the granules stabilities in four conditions by taking the change of Baricalin content and granules surface color as stability test markers. Methods: The content of baicalin was determined by dual wave length iso absortion method and the granules surface color was determined by the diffuse reflectrance spectroscopy. ① The granules were tested in a simulated summer environment (30 ?C , RH92.5%, 1month) and in a high intensity light condition (3000LX, 10dyas). ② The influence of humidity on the stability of the granules was investigated. ③ The expiry date of the granules was predicted by the mutivariate linear regression analysis and compared with the result of the classical constant temperature method. ④ The influences of temperature and humidity on the granules stability were etudied by orthogonal test. Results: ① There was hardly any change in baicalin content of samples in a simulated summer environment and in a high intensity light condition. ② The results showed that the decrease of baicalin content and charge of granules color were obvious when the relative humidity of environment was high and the granules color was more easily influenced by the humidity. ③ The expiry date was about 2.87 years. ④ The results indicated that both temperature and humidity had effects on the change of baicalin content. Conclusion: We tried to estimate the stability of the granules by two indexes. The results showed that Qingrejedu granules was stable in different conditions. It satisfied the stability requirements of solid dosage form.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the pathogenesis and metastasis of colorectal cancer. Methods: A case-control study was performed to compare 852 colorectal cancer patients with 940 controls (patients without cancer) recruited from 2001 to 2006, with respect to their sex, cancer subsite, the course of T2DM, hepatic metastasis, smoking and drinking. Correlated risk factors were analyzed. Results: The risk of colorectal cancer was increased in patients with T2DM and the relative risk (OR) was 2.466. The OR of male patients was higher than that of female patients, but with no significant difference (2.775 vs 2.070, P=0.394). The incidence of T2DM in patients with left hemicolon cancer was higher than that in those with right hemicolon cancer and rectal cancer, but with no significant difference between them. The colorectal cancer risk in T2DM patients with a DM course of 10 ～ 20 years was the highest, and the OR was 4.696. The rate of hepatic metastasis was higher in T2DM patients with colorectal cancer than that in celorectal cancer patients without T2DM and the OR was 2.888. Conclusion: T2DM may be one of the important pathogenic risk factors for colorectal cancer. The OR is increased with the extension of DM course within 20 years. Colorectal cancer patients with T2DM may be more prone to hepatic metastasis.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between serum uric acid and prehypertension and the effects of age,obesity,fasting glucose and lipids in Chinese adults.Methods14,451 non-hypertensive cases from a community-based health examination survey in Xuzhou,Jiangsu province of China were enrolled in this study.Blood pressure,BMI,and determination of fasting glucose,lipids and serum uric acid were measured in all cases.ResultsThe odds ratios ( OR,95％ CI ) of prehypertension across increased serum uric acid after adjusting for age,sex were 1.0,1.20 ( 1.07 - 1.35 ),1.55 ( 1.36 - 1.76),1.82(1.60-2.09),2.33(2.03-2.67) (Pfor trend ＜0.01).The odds ratios were 1.0,1,04(0.92-1.18),1.21(1.06-1.38),1.26(1.09 - 1.45),1.36(1.17 - 1.58),( Pfor trend ＜0.01) after adjusting for age,sex,BMI,glucose,and lipids.In addition,fasting glucose significantly interacted with uric acid ( P for interaction ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions Serum uric acid was associated with prehypertension,which might be an independent metabolic risk factor.Fasting glucose may reinforce the associations.

The interactions between genetic variations and dietary factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus have attracted some attention. Several studies revealed that dietary carbohydrate quality and quantity and increased dietary fat intake might interact with genetic variations of type 2 diabetes mellitus and increase risk of this disease. Genome-wide association studies suggest that genetic variance may modulate the association between dietary pattern and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background and purpose: Neck lymph node metastasis, most of which presents in central neck compartment, is common in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the number of dissected central neck lymph nodes and clinical outcome after radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation in pN1a PTC with no more than 5 lymph nodes involvement. Methods: A total of 167 PTC patients who had 1-5 proven metastatic lymph nodes according to postoperative pathological diagnosis were retrospectively analyzed, all of whom underwent total or near total thyroidectomy and central lymph node dissection. After a median follow-up period of 26 months, the clinical outcome of each patient was evaluated as excellent response (ER), indeterminate response (IDR), bio-chemical incomplete response (BIR), or structural incomplete response (SIR) according to the new American Thyroid As-sociation guidelines. The accumulative ER rate (ERn) was calculated in patients with different numbers of dissected lymph nodes (ERn was defined as the proportion of patients who achieved ER with the dissected lymph node number of ≤n). The relationship between the number of dissected central neck lymph nodes and ERn were investigated. Results: As the increase in the number of dissected central neck lymph nodes,there was also an overall increase in ERn, especially when n rose from 1 to 10. The values of ER1, ER5, ER10 and ER30 were 25.0%, 66.7%, 74.7% and 79.1%, respectively. Besides, the proportion of patients who achieved ER was higher in those with 10 or more dissected lymph nodes than in those with less than 10 (85.7% vs 73.3%, P=0.05). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, both the dissected central lymph node number of ≥10 (OR=2.720, 95%CI: 1.052-7.033, P=0.039) and the level of preablation stimulated thyroglobulin (OR=0.955, 95%CI: 0.926-0.984, P=0.003) were shown to contribute independently to ER. Conclusion: As the increas-ing number of dissected central neck lymph nodes, the percentage of pN1a PTC patients that achieved ER after RAI ablation generally rises. In pN1a PTC patients with no more than 5 lymph nodes involvement, a central compartment dissection with 10 or more lymph nodes might help them achieve ER after RAI ablation.
