BACKGROUND: Chinese herbs of common yam rhizome, balsampear fruit and bagasse fiber have good effects on decreasing blood glucose and lipid, but its mechanism is unclear.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of compound preparation of common yam rhizome and balsampear fruit on blood glucose, lipid, blood insulin and anti-infection of rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study.SETTING: Technological Developing Center, Pharmacological Department, Experimental Animal Center, and Central Laboratory of Guangdong Medical College.MATERIALS: A total of 80 female SD rats with 4 months old and of SPF grade were selected in this study. Flumamine (Jilin Dongbeiya Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., batch number: 040126); total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triacylglycerol (TG) (Beijing Zhongsheng Biotechnological Co. Ltd.); Surestep Life scan blood glucose meter and test paper (Johnson Company, USA); insulin radio-immunity kit (Shanghai Navy Medical Institute); UV-3010 ultraviolet spectrophotometer (Japan Shimadzu); compound preparation of common yam rhizome and balsampear fruit (Technological Developing Center of Guangdong Medical College, batch number: 040321); suspension was extracted from common yam rhizome, balsampear fruit and dietary fiber of bagasse through water with 1 kg/L raw materials.METHODS: Animal breeding and samples collecting were carried out in the Experimental Animal Center and Technological Developing Central Laboratory of Guangdong Medical College from June 2004 to December 2005; meanwhile, detection of marker was carried out in the Pharmacological Department and Central Laboratory of Guangdong Medical College. ①Twenty rats were randomly selected as normal control group and perfused with 5 mL/kg saline every day. Other 60 rats were perfused with 5 mL/kg fat emulsion once a day for 4 weeks, and then, rats were fasted for 12hours and peritoneally injected with 2 g/L streptozotocin (30 mg/kg). Rats in normal control group were peritoneally injected with the same volume of citromalic acid buffer. Three days later, blood glucose was measured ranomly and measured again after 2 weeks. If level of blood glucose was igher than 13.5 mmol/L or urinal glucose was ＞ ++ for two weeks, the models were successful (n=48). ② According to random lot method, 48 rats were divided into three groups: model group, flumamine group and comound preparation group with 16 in each group. Rats in model group were perfused with 5 mL/kg fat emulsion; moreover, rats in flumamine groupr and compound preparation group were perfused with 5 mL/kg fat emulsion and then with 1 mg/kg flumamine and 5 mL/kg compound preparation including 1 kg/L raw drug, respectively. Rats in normal control group were perfused with 5 mL/kg saline. All rats in each group were perfused once a day for 6 weeks in total. ③ Value of blood glucose was measured at one day before the experiment finished. Twelve hours after fasting, level of plasma insulin was measured with radio-immunity method; levels of plasma total protein and albumin were measured with spectrophotography; levels of TG, TC and HDL-C were measured with the related kits. ④ Measurement data were compared with analysis of variance (ANOVA). Levene's test was firstly used to evaluate regularity of variance. Bonferroni test was used for regular variance; however, Tamhane's T2 was used.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effect of compound preparation on levels of blood glucose, insulin, lipid and plasma protein of rats with type 2 DM.RESULTS: Twelve rats were lost because of failure in modeling, and 4rats in model group and 2 in flumamine group died during the experiment,respectively. Therefore, 62 rats were involved in the final analysis. ①Measurement of fasting blood glucose and plasma insulin: Value of fasting blood glucose in normal control group was lower than that in other three groups (t=2.673-4.224, P ＜ 0.05-0.01), but level of plasma insulin was higher than that in other three groups (t=3.780-5.824, P ＜ 0.05-0.01).Fasting insulin in model group was lower than that in compound prepara tion group (t=2.825, P ＜ 0.05); fasting blood glucose was higher than that in flumamine group and compound preparation group (t=3.906, 3.056, P ＜ 0.05); * level of insulin in flumamine group was lower than that in compound preparation group (t=3.014, P ＜ 0.05); level of fasting blood glucose in flumamine group was close to that in compound preparation group (P ＞ 0.05). ② Measurement of lipid: Levels of TC and TG in normal control group were lower than those in other three groups, but level of HDL-C was higher than that in other three groups (t=2.521-4.892, P ＜ 0.05-0.01).Plasma TC in model group was higher than that in flumamine group and compound preparation group (t=2.466-2.512, P ＜ 0.05), value of TG was higher than that in compound preparation group (t=2.612, P ＜ 0.05), and level of HDL-C was lower than that in compound preparation group (t =3.688, P ＜ 0.05). Plasma TG in flumamine group was higher than that in compound preparation group (t=2.620, P ＜ 0.05). ③ Measurement of plasma protein: Levels of plasma total protein were close to each other (P ＞ 0.05). Plasma albumin in normal control group was higher than that in model group and flumamine group (t=3.773, 3.104, P ＜ 0.05), but that was close to that in compound preparation group (P ＞ 0.05). Ratio between albumin and globulin in normal oln that in other groups (t=2.830-3.056, P ＜ 0.05). Level of plasma albumin and ratio between albumin and globulin were lower in model group than those in compound preparation group (t=2.604, 3.808, P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Compound preparation can decrease levels of blood glucose and lipid, increase content of insulin, and improve anti-infection ability of rats with type 2 DM.

AIM: To establish the hyperlipemic rat model by long-term gastric perfusion of intralipid and investigate the effects of hyperlipidemia on bone. METHODS: Eighteen SD rats were randomly divided into control group (C) and high-fat-diet group (HDF), with 9 rats per group. Rats of C group were treated orally with normal saline, and rats in HDF group were oral gavage of intralipid at dose of 5.0 mL/kg, once a day for 20 weeks. At the end of experiment, their serum levels of lipid were measured. Bone histomorphometric analysis of thighbone was performed in undecalcified sections, and the length and width of ulnar were measured. RESULTS: Compared with the C group, serum TC and low density lipoproteins (LDL) were increased (P
