Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2006;14(1):20-22
Objective To investigate the relationship of serum uric acid(SUA) with type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic macrovascular complications and to study the influential factors of SUA.Methods Recruited were eighty type 2 diabetic patients(group B),ninety-two type 2 diabetic patients with coronary artery disease(group C) and one hundred and twelve healthy controls(group A) whose qualitative urine protein assay were negative.Serum concentrations of uric acid and other biochemical materials were assayed at a fasting state.The sensitivity of insulin was also evaluated.Results(1) The SUA levels in group A,B and C were(280±81)(257±76) and (302±72) mmol/L respectively;SUA in group B was lower than that in group A(P=0.037) or group C(P=0.000) and SUA in group C tended to be higher than that in group A(P=0.050).(2) SUA level significantly increased in man than in woman(P=0.001).(3) The independent influential factors of SUA were WHR(R=0.354) in man,and BMI(R=0.286) and age(R=0.623) in woman.(4) After adjusting the age,sex,distribution of body fat and serum lipid level, the logistic regression analysis of group B and C showed that hyperuricemia was the independent risk factor for diabetic macrovascular complications,and this was especially obvious in smoker or hypertensive patient.Conclusions SUA in type 2 diabetic patients is lower than that in both healthy controls and type 2 diabetic patients with coronary disease.The level and contributing factors of SUA are different between men and women.

China Pharmacy 2001;0(07):-
OBJECTIVE: To study on the effect of different extracting methods on the content determination of polysaccharide from Caulis Dendrobii.METHODS: Polysaccharide was extracted from Caulis Dendrobii respectively by reflux extraction,improved reflux extraction,ultrasound wave extraction and ultrasonic-assisted thermal reflux extraction.The content of polysaccharide was determined by phenol-sulfuric acid method.RESULTS: The determined results using these methods were as follows:(13.473?0.634)%,(15.692?0.743)%,(11.87?0.536)% and (16.29?0.407)%.CONCLUSION: The content determination of polysaccharide from Caulis Dendrobii was associated with the extraction method.The polysaccharide from Caulis Dendrobii could be extracted more thoroughly and rapidly by ultrasonic-assisted extraction technology.Therefore this method could be used to pretreat the sample in content determination of Caulis Dendrobili polysaccharide.

Objective To explore relativity between serum cortisol and post-stroke depression in old patients with stroke. Methods Serum cortisols of 41 stroke patients were examined two weeks after stroke, and they were all assessed through Hamilton Depression Scale and then happening rates of post-stroke depression observed in both normal cortisol group and enhanced cortisol group were tested through χ2 test. Meanwhile relativity between serum cortisol level and post-stroke depression were analysised. Results Happening rates of post-stroke depression had an evidently difference between both normal cortisol group and enhanced cortisol group(χ2=4.11;P <0.05). Mark of normal cortisol group was 15.29±7.28, enhanced cortisol group was 25.85±10.81, both groups had an evidently difference( P <0.01). Serum cortisols were not obviously relative to depression degree in normal cortisol group( r =0.295;P =0.194) while they were obviously relative in enhanced cortisol group( r =0.702;P =0.001). Conclusion Enhanced cortisol could forecast higher possibility of depression after the old post-stroke, and detecting cortisol could offer theory foundation for prevention and cure of post-stroke depression.

GRP78,as endoplasmic reticulum resident chaperone,is highly induced by a variety of tumor microenvironmental stresses,such as hypoxia and glucose deprivation.GRP78 is implicated in tumor cell proliferation,apoptosis,invasion,metastasis and angiogenesis.Recent evidence indicates that GRP78 levels is correlated with pathological grade,stage and prognosis for the majority of solid tumors.In addition,GRP78 plays an important role in drug tolerance and knockdown of GRP78 has been shown to sensitize malignant cells.GRP78 could not only be a good biomarker to predict cancer progression and chemo-responsiveness,but also an appealing target for the development of a more selective chemotherapy.

Objective: To observe the therapeutic results of Acupuncture and Tuina combining with laxative suppository in treating constipation caused by antisychotic drugs. Methods: 240 patients were randomly divided into Group A, B, C, and D, 60 in each group. Group A were treated with Acupuncture and Tuina combining with laxative suppository, Group B with Acupuncture, Group C with Tuina and Group D with laxative suppository. Results: The effective rate in Group A was 98.3%, Group B 95.0%, Group C 91.7% and Group D 60.0%. Univariate χ2 was used for analysis. There were significant differences among the 4 groups. Group A was compared with Group B and C (P<0.05) and compared with D (P<0.01). The efficacy time( (-χ)± S) was 2.41 ± 1.87h in Group A, 2.47 ± 1.89h in Group B,9.81 ± 6.12h in Group C and 15.13 ± 6.17h in Group D. The t-test was used for analysis. The efficacy time was significant different in Group A and B (P<0.05), significant different in Group A and C (P<0.05), marked different in Group A and D (P<0.01) and no significant different in Group B and C (P>0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture and Tuina were effective, yet Acupuncture and Tuina combined with laxative suppository were more effective, and induce quick defecation.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture at the six mind-calming points plus the four gate points in treating migraine.Method Totally 128 eligible migraine patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 64 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture at the six mind-calming points plus the four gate points, while the control group was by ordinary acupuncture. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), headache attack frequency, headache duration, headache intensity, complicated symptoms, Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were observed before and after treatment and in the follow-up study.Result The NRS scores and the headache symptoms and functions scores were significantly changed respectively after 2-week and 4-week treatment in both groups (P<0.01,P<0.05). The NRS score, headache duration, and headache intensity in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group after 4-week treatment and in the follow-up study (P<0.05,P<0.01). The SDS and SAS scores were significantly changed after 2-week and 4-week treatments as well as in the follow-up study in the treatment group (P<0.01). The SDS and SAS scores were significantly changed after 4-week treatment in the control group (P<0.01). There were significant differences in comparing the SDS and SAS scores between the two groups after 2-week and 4-week treatment as well as in the follow-up study (P<0.05,P<0.01). In the treatment group, the SDS and SAS scores in the follow-up study were significantly different from that after 2-week treatment (P<0.01).Conclusion Acupuncture at the six mind-calming points plus the four gate points is an effective method in treating migraine, and it can reduce headache intensity, and improve the anxiety and depression state.
