ObjectiveTo study the impact of high chromium yeast on type 2 diabetic mice.MethodsA total of 60 Balb/C mice were used in this study.Fifty mice were injected with streptozotocin to induce type 2 diabetes,while the ten mice without injection were in the normal group.The type 2 diabetic mice were divided into 5groups according to their fasting blood sugar levels,including 3 groups receiving high chromium yeast at low [250μg/ (kg· d)],medium [500 μg/ (kg,d)],and high [1000 μg/ (kg· d)] doses,1 group receiving metformin ( positive control),and 1 group receiving normal yeast ( negative control).The yeast or metformin were given through by gastric lavage daily for 15 weeks.Body mass and blood biochemical indexes (fasting blood glucose,glucose tolerance,etc) were determined,and the pathological examination of pancreas was conducted.Results Compared with negative control group,medium dose high chromium yeast group had significantly lower triglyceride ( P =0.043 ),low and medium dose groups had lower total cholesterol ( P =0.006,P =0.003 ),low and high dose groups had higher insulin levels (P =0.011,P =0.002),and high dose group had significantly reduced glycosylated hemoglobin (P =0.027).Pathological examination of pancreatic islets revealed that medium and high dose groups did not develop infiltration of inflammatory cells.ConclusionsHigh chromium yeast may improve type 2 diabetes mellitus.Further studies are needed to confirm the conclusion of this study with an organic chromium control group.

Objective To study whether L-cysteine and lysolecithin (16:0) could be as a serum markers in the detection of OVC for overcoming the OVC defects of early detection .Methods Totally 142 cases of healthy check -up patients ( control group ) 100 cases from First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in January 2012 to January 2014 were extracted patient specimens .These pa-tient specimens were used to detect by MALDI -TOF-MS mass spectrometer and obtain the peak m/z by the method of principal compo-nent analysis for screening expression difference between the two groups in the metabolites and the correlation between metabolites and pathological grade.Results The most difference substance between two groups were 184.05 and 496.30m/z which identified as LPC (16:0) and HCA;On HCA average level and detection rate , OVC group was significantly higher than control (P<0.01); On 184.05 and 496.30m/z peak area, control group was significantly higher than OVC group (P<0.01);HCA positively was correlated with patho-logic grade (P<0.05);184.05 and 496.30 m/z peak area were negative correlation with pathologic grade (P<0.05).Conclusion L-cysteine and lysolecithin (16:0) mechanism in the pathogenesis of OVC is unclear , but it can be used for the detection of serum OVC markers.

Objective To study the expression of Akt and MAPK in the stomach and colon of slow transit constipation (STC) in rats, as well as the effect of exogenous glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) on it. Methods Forty-four SD rats were divided into control group and model group randomly. The STC model group was established by gastric irrigation of rhubarb for 3.5 months. The control group was received normal saline. After model building, each group was equally divided into 2 subgroup randomly, administrated with exogenous GDNF and normal saline by vein injection for one week respectively. The expression of Akt and MAPK in stomach and colon was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results ( 1 ) The expression of Akt in the stomach tended to weaker in STC rats comparing with the normal rats ( P ＞ 0. 05 ), but it was stronger in STC plus GDNF group than in STC group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). ( 2 ) The expression of Akt and MAPK in the colon was weaker in STC group than in the normal group ( all P ＜0. 05 ), and was stronger in STC plus GDNF group than in STC group ( all P ＜ 0. 05 ). ( 3 ) The expression of MAPK in the stomach in STC group was weaker than in normal group (P ＜ 0.05 ), and was stronger in STC plus GDNF group than in STC group (P ＜0.01 ). There was no significant difference among STC plus GDNF group, normal group and GDNF group (P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusions Long term consumption of rhubarb could induce STC by down-regulating the expression of Akt and MAPK in digestive tract. Exogenous GDNF may have a potential role on the etiology of STC.

Objective To study the apoptosis pathway of human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 induced by 1-β-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (Ara-C) in vitro. Methods A549 cells were incubated with Ara-C for 72hours in vitro. Biological changes of apoptotic cells were studied by TUNEL staining. Morphological changes of the A549 cells treated with Ara-C were observed by transmission electron microscope. The expressions of p53 and p73 were investigated by Western blotting. Results 1.Apoptotic rates of A549 cells exposure to Ara-C studied by TUNEL staining were higher than that of the control (P＜0.01). 2.Apoptosis body was apparently observed by transmission electron microscope. 3.Endogenous p73 but not p53 was induced and activated in dose-dependent manner upon Ara-C treatment by Western blotting.Conclusion Ara-C can effectively induce apoptosis of A549 cells. DNA damage-induced apoptosis of A549 cells treated by Ara-C is independent of functional p53.Up-regulation of p73 may play an important role that enhances the sensitivity of A549 cells to Ara-C and be partly responsible for p53-independent apoptosis.

In order to study the association of each item of a health examination and lifestyles with health-related quality of life (HRQoL), a cross-sectional survey by a self-administered questionnaire using the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12, version 1) was conducted on 145 government managers that took health examinations in Tongji Hospital, Wuhan, China during 2005. The results showed that the determinations of organic functions including BMI, hemoglobin, blood platelet count, urine protein, urine WBC and lipid metabolism (LDL) were associated with HRQoL. The lifestyle items including age, sex, life satisfaction drinking alcohol and kind of alcohol drunk, drinking tea, sleep quality and adhering to bedtime, working overtime, work stress were associated with HRQoL in the multiple regression models. Sex, age and life satisfaction were the lifestyle items most closely associated with HRQoL, while LDL, hemoglobin and urine protein were the health examination items most closely associated HRQoL. This study revealed that both lifestyle and health examination items were associated with HRQoL.

Objective To investigate the effect of angiotenisn ⅡI (Ang Ⅱ) on RIN-m β-cell,and to explore the mechanism of β-cell function impairment caused by Ang Ⅱ.Methods RIN-m cells were cultured with various concentrations of AngⅡ (0.1,1,10,100 nmol/L).After incubation for 24 hours,the basal(3.3 mmol/L) and glucose-stimulated(16.7 mmol/L) insulin secretion(GSIS)were detected by radioimmunoassay,mRNA and protein expressions of uncoupling protein 2(UCP2)were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot,respectively.The intracellular ATP content was measured by luciferase bioluminescence.The mitochondrial membrane potential and cellular Ca~(2+) concentration were detected by flow cytometry.Results (1) Various concentrations of Ang Ⅱ had no significant influence on the basal insulin secrection of RIN-m cell(F=0.644,P = 0.634).Except for 0.1 nmol/L AngⅡ,the other concentrations of Ang Ⅱ markedly reduced GSIS of RIN-m cells(F= 118.528,P = 0.000).(2) Compared with the control group,Ang Ⅱ significantly increased mRNA and protein expression of UCP2(F= 1 370,P = 0.000;F=675.175,P = 0.000).(3)Except for 0.1 nmol/L Ang Ⅱ,the other concentrations of Ang Ⅱ significantly decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential,cellular ATP content,and cellular Ca2+ concentration of RIN-m cell(F=4.035,P=0.008;F=3.353,P = 0.013;F=5.867,P = 0.001).Conclusion Ang Ⅱ impairs GSIS of p-cell,the mechanism of impairment may be interpreted that Ang Ⅱ can increase the expression of UCP2,furthermore,it can reduce mitochondrial membrane potential,decrease the content of cellular ATP and the concentration of cellular Ca~(2+),can finally impair the function of β-cell.

Objective To investigate the changes in brain MRI scan in neuromyelitis optica (NMO).Methods MRI images in 27 cases with NMO were examined in a retrospective study.Results Twenty-two of 27 patients (81.5%) had abnormal brain MRI findings,which were classified as nonspecific (7 cases),atypical (1 case),multiple sclerosis-like (3 cases) and ventricle-aqueduct-syringocoele lesions (11 cases).The lust type is the most common (40.7%).Furthermore,the analysis showed that the number of brain lesions positively correlated with lag time from the onset to the last MRI scan (r=0.475,P=0.025).Conclusions Brain lesions in NMO are diverse,which might result from different pathogenesis.However,ventricle-aqueduct-syringocoele is the most common lesion.Early brain MRI examination of suspected cases is essential.

Objective To improve the understanding of autoimmune disease related panereatitis by analyzing their clinical features.Methods The clinical features were analyzed retrospectively in 28 autoimmune disease related pancreatitis cases from Peking Union Medical College Hospital(PUMCH),according to the associated autoimmune diseases.Results (1)The average age was(40.0±16.1)years,and the ratio of male to female patients Was 1:6.There were 24 acute and 4 chronic pancreatitis in the 28 cases.(2)The common related autoimmune diseases were systemic lupus erythematosus(20/28)and Sjogren's syndrome(6/28).(3)The characteristics of the autoimmune diseases was multi-system involvement,such as hematologic system,kidney,liver,etc.(4)Clinical features of those acute pancreatitis shown that no distinct trigger exist for acute pancreatitis.and the radiological changing Was not prominent.(5)In laboratory examination,an obvious increase of CA199 coaid be seen,paralleling the severity of pancreatitis.(6)Glucocorticoids or immunosuppressors was effective,and the mortality rate of acute pancreatitis cases was 33.3%.ConclusionsAutoimmune disease related pancreatitis is dominant with acute pancreatitis and females is common,which may reflect the activity of autoimmune diseases.Autoimmune disease related acute pancreatitis has a high mortality rate.Glucocorticoids and/or immunosuppressors may be useful to relieve the pancreatitis.
