0.05). Conclusion Preproghrelin-Leu72Met is not significantly associated with T2DM and DN in Shanghai Han populations,while T2DM with AA genotype is characterized by significant declination in urine microalbumin when compared with CA and CC genotypes.Leu72Met polymorphism(C→A)may postpone the development of microalbuminuria in T2DM subjects.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of music exposure in juvenile stage on anxiety-like behavior and fear extinction in adult rats.Methods4 broods of two-week-old healthy Sprague-Dawleyda rats were separated into two groups randomly.The music groups were exposed to music from 20:00 to 22:00 for 21 consecutive days.When the rats were 5 weeks old,they were caged by sex,with 8 male rats and 6 female rats in each group.When the rats were 8 weeks old,the two groups were assessed in the elevated-plus maze test,the open-field test,trained and assessed by the conditional fear training and fear extinction training.ResultsIn the elevated-plus maze test:Prior to the foot shock,the percent of time spent in the open arms in the music group (female(7.07 ± 1.14)％,male (5.12 ± 1.95 ) ％ ) exhibited no significant difference (P＞ 0.05 ) comparing with the rats in the control group (female (4.65 ± 0.86 ) ％,male ( 4.86 ± 1.95 ) ％ ).After the foot shock,the percent of time spent in the open arms in the music group ( female ( 8.63 ± 3.35 ) ％,male ( 7.79 ± 2.49 ) ％ ) increased comparing to the control group (female(1.48 ±0.11)％,male(4.29 ± 1.68)％) (P＜0.01). In the open-field test:prior to the foot shock,the percent of time spent in the center zone of the music group ( female (6.16 ± 2.17 ) ％,male (6.25 ±3.47) ％ ) exhibited no significant difference (P＞ 0.05) comparing with the rats in control group (female(5.27 ±1.95 )％,male (6.22 ± 3.13 )％ ).After the foot shock,the percent of time spent in the center zone in the music group (female(8.52 ± 1.93) ％,male (6.95 ± 2.46 ) ％ ) was larger than the control group ( female ( 3.47 ±0.93 ) ％,male (4.36 ± 2.22 ) ％ ) (P ＜ 0.05 ).The fear extinction training showed that the percent of freezing time exhibited no significant difference between the male and female rats of the music group and control group in the first block of the first extinction training day and the percentage of freezing time of female rats in music group was significantly lower than that of female rats in control group on the third extinction training day.The percentage of freezing time of male rats in the music group was significantly lower than that of male rats in control group on the second and third training day.ConclusionMusic exposure in juvenile stage decreases the anxiety level after foot shock,and promotes the long-term fear extinction,while has no effect on the level of fear memory.

OBJECTIVETo observe the therapeutic effect and relevant mechanism of shuxuening Injection (SI) in treating patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC).

METHODSTotally 91 patients with active UC were randomly assigned to 2 groups, 44 in the control group and 47 in the treatment group. Patients in the control group received routine treatment, while patients in the treatment group additionally received intravenous injection of SI (15 mL), twice daily for 14 days in total. Colonoscopy was performed before and after treatment. The therapeutic effect was assessed by Mayo scoring system and the grading of activities evaluated by Baron endoscope. Serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by ELISA. The activity of SOD was detected by xanthine oxidase method. The content of MDA was detected by thiobarbituricacid (TBA). Besides, 20 healthy subjects were recruited as the healthy control group.

RESULTSTotally 82 patients completed the study (40 in the control group and 42 in the treatment group). There was no statistical difference in serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α, SOD, MDA, the Mayo score and endoscope grading between the two groups before treatment (P >0. 05). Compared with the healthy control group, serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α, MDA significantly increased (P <0.01), and the serum SOD level decreased (P < 0. 05) in the treatment grup and the control group before treatment. Compared with before treatment in the same group, serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α, MDA, the Mayo score and endoscope grading all decreased in the treatment group and the control group after treatment (P <0. 01, P <0. 05). Compared with the control group after treatment, serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α, MDA, the Mayo score and endoscope grading all decreased (P <0.01, P <0.05), the serum SOD level increased (P <0.05) in the treatment group after treatment. The serum SOD level was obviously negative correlated with serum levels of IL-6, TNF-a, Mayo score, and endoscope score (r = -0. 621, -0.638, -0. 509, -0.787, P <0.01). The serum MDA level was obviously positive correlated with serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α, Mayo score, and endoscope score (r =0.711, 0. 882, 0. 525, 0. 639, P <0.01).

CONCLUSIONSI could improve inflammatory injury and clinical symptoms of patients with active UC, and its mechanism might be associated with antioxidant and scavenging oxygen free radicals.
