Free fatty acids(FFAs) provide an important energy source and also act as signaling molecules.Medium to long-chain free fatty acids can activate the intracellular signal pathways in the pancreatic ?-cells and play a role in regulating insulin secretion as an extracellular signal molecular via binding to the FFA receptor G protein-coupled receptor 40(GPR40). Furthermore,GPR40 is associated with several biological effects including cell proliferation and antiapoptosis of nerve cells.GPR40 act an important role in the connection of obesity and diabetes or cancers.GPR40 will probably become a novel kind of antidiabetic and anticancer drugs.

Conclusion: The application of the simulation training platform has enriched the content and renewed the pattern of training in decision optimization for campaign medical support commanding officers.

Objective To investigate whether the effect of pioglitazone on TNF-α-induced insulin resistance is associated with altering IRS-1-induced signaling. Methods 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated with TNF-α for 24 hours with or without being pretreated with 10μM piglitazone for 6 hours or with pioglitazone alone.Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake of 3T3 adipocytes was measured by using 2-deoxy 3H glucose.The Western blot was used to measure IRS-1, PKB, PKC-λ protein and tyrosine phosphorylation on IRS-1, PKB and PKC-λ phosphorylation. Results Both TNF-α and pioglitazone increased glucose uptake of 3T3 adipocytes under basal status.On TNF-α treated cells, insulin-stimulated glucose uptake was decreased by about 50%, accompanied with the reductions of IRS-1 protein level, tyrosine-phosphorylation of IRS-1 and PKB phosphorylation.TNF-α treatment had no effect on PKC-λ phosphorylation. Pioglitazone pretreatment was able to antagonize TNF-α-induced insulin resistance in 3T3 adipocytes partly reverse IRS-1 protein, increase insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1,and increase phosphorylations of PKB and PKCλ. Conclusion TNF-α-induced insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 adipocytes is related to impaired tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1. Pioglitazone antagonizes the above TNF-α induced insulin resistance.

Objective:To establish the drug release determination conditions and method for phencynonate hydrochloride extended release tablets. Methods:The drug release of the tablets was determined by HPLC using a Diamonsil C18 (250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm) column with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-water-phosphoric acid-triethylamine (270∶400∶1. 3∶2), the detection wavelength was 220 nm, the flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1 , the column temperature was 30 ℃ and the injection volume was 20 μl. The effects of different release apparatus, release media and rotation speeds on the release of phencynonate hydrochloride extended-release tablets were studied as well. Results:The established drug release determination method had a good linear relationship within the range of 0. 3-5. 0 μg· ml-1(r=0. 999 8), and the average recovery was 100. 6%(RSD=1. 16%, n=15). Under the conditions of 900ml pH 3. 0 phos-phate buffer solution as the release medium, rotation speed of 50 r·min-1 and the settlement basket as the apparatus, the release be-havior of the product was complied with a zero-level model in vitro, and the release equation was as follows:Q=6. 141 2t-9. 328 7(r=0. 996). Conclusion:The method is simple, accurate and reliable, and suitable for the quality control of phencynonate hydrochlo-ride extended-release tablets.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the relationship between microalbuminuria(MAU) and cardiac autonomic neuropathy in diabetes.MethodsThe urinary albumin excretion (UAE) was measured,and the cardiac autonomic function was detected using 24 hour ambulatory ECG spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) in 46 patients with diabetes and 31 normal control subjects.ResultsParameters of time and frequencydomain of HRV were reduced in patients with diabetes.The high frequency at night reflecting the cardiac vagus nerve function was significantly lower in diabetic patients than control group.In diabetic patients with MAU,the detected values of HRV were significantly decreased,combined vagosympathetic impairment occurred,and 24 hour rhythm from day to night in autonomic nervous activity disappeared.ConclusionMAU in diabetes is related with HRV.

Objective:To investigate glucose uptake and IRS-1-associated signaling pathway by stimulated insulin under TNF-? treatment.Methods:3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated with TNF-? within 6 hours and 24 hours respectively. 2-deoxy ~3H glucose was used to measure glucose uptake and western blot was used to measure IRS-1, PKB protein, tyrosine and serine307 phosphorylation on IRS-1, and PKB phosphorylation.Results:On basal status, glucose uptake of 3T3-L1 cells and phospho-tyrosine of IRS-1, PKB phosphorylation, and serine307 phosphorylation on IRS-1 were all low. Insulin stimulation induced glucose uptake and IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation, serine307 phosphorylation, PKB phosphorylation rapidly. TNF-? inhibited insulin-induced glucose uptake, tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and PKB phosphorylation. Rapamycin reversed the effects of TNF-?. Treated with TNF-? within 6 hours increased serine307 phosphorylation but had no effect on IRS-1 protein level. TNF-?-induced serine307 phosphorylation of IRS-1 was not affected by rapamycin. IRS-1 level was decreased under 24 hours TNF-? treatment and rapamycin can reverse the effect.Conclusion:TNF-? induced insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 adipocytes mightbe related to impaired IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation, rapamycin could reverse the effects of TNF-?. Treated with TNF-? within 6 hours stimulate phosphrylation of serine307 of IRS-1 and 24 hours treatment decreased IRS-1 protein level. Rapamycin antagonist TNF-?-induced loses of IRS-1.
