The levels of IL - 23,IL - 17 in united intervention group were lower than those in respective intervention groups(P ﹤ 0. 05),and the levels in Prednisone intervention group were lower than those in Azithromycin intervention group(P ﹤ 0. 05). Conclusions IL - 23 / IL - 17 axis' high activity may be one of the immunologic mechanisms of Adriamycin - induced nephrosis. Azithromycin may inhibit the high activity of IL - 23 / IL - 17 axis to relieve the Adriamycin - induced nephrosis. The inhibition on IL - 23 / IL - 17 axis of Azithro-mycin was similar to Prednisone,and Azithromycin may enhance the effectiveness of Prednisone.

The current drug non-clinical safety evalua-tion has been highly systematized and standardized, but the standard toxicology model is still some inade-quacies, need to consider other animal models of safety evaluation. This paper will expound the need of animal disease models using in safety evaluation from the as-pect of scientific theories, data requirements and the need of clinical. Then recognizing on the perspective of drug regulatory agencies to explore the feasibility of u-sing animal disease models for safety evaluation and the deficiencies, in order to predict as accurately as possi-ble of the adverse drug reactions in clinical, applied to reduce the risk of clinical patients ( patients benefit ) , and reduce the risk of drug development failures ( pharmaceutical companies benefit ) . All in all we should attach great importance to the applications of animal disease models in non-clinical safety evalua-tion.

Berberine is the major component of Coptidis Rhizoma and it has been used as anti-infection, anti-inflammation drug for gastrointestinal diseases. In recent years, evidence showed that it could regulate glucose and lipid metabolism. Moreover, its activity had been tested by clinical trials and animal researches. The mechanisms of berberine in diabetes include: improving the function of beta-cell; prompting insulin secretion and islets regeneration, lowing lipid level, regulating glucose and lipid metabolic by influence transcriptional factors expression such as PPARgamma, C/EBPalpha, SREBP-1c, LXR, having the activities of anti-oxidation and inhibiting reductase to repress oxidative stress state and regulate metabolic signal pathway. Although numbers of data supported that berberine could improving insulin resistance by clinical trials and animal studies, the large scale, multicenter clinical trials are needed to evaluate the effects of berberine for diabetes and its complications in the time of evidence-based medicine.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of UV-B induction on the content of secondary metabolites, three kinds of alkaloid especially, in post-harvest leaves of Mahonia bealei (Fort.) Carr.. METHODS: The HPLC chromatograms of secondary metabolites in leaves before and after UV-B induction were established, and the content changes of secondary metabolites were obtained by means of comparison and analysis. RESULTS: In comparison with the control group, the contents of the secondary metabolites after UV-B induction changed dramatically. The contents of jatrorrhizine and palmatine increased obviously and reached a plateau after UVB induction for six hours. The amplification of jatrorrhizine was 410.84% and that of palmatine reached 118.76%, but the content of berberine decreased obviously after induction. CONCLUSION: UV-B induction has remarkable effects on accumulation of secondary metabolites in postharvest leaves of Mahonia bealei (Fort.) Carr.

AlM: To compare the anterior segment measurements derived from optical low coherence reflectometer ( Lenstar LS900 ) and combined Scheimpflug - Placido disk topographer ( Sirius) .
METHODS: ln this study, we enrolled healthy myopic subjects 54 ( 87 eyes ) . The central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), flat keratometry ( FK) readings , steep keratometry ( SK ) readings and white to white ( WTW ) were measured by LS900 and Sirius. Evaluation and analysis were performed using paired t tests, the Pearson correlation, and Bland-Altman analyses.
RESULTS: The CCT and ACD measurements were significantly lower whereas FK, SK and WTW measurements were higher with LS900 (P<0. 001). Mean differences were -6. 11 ± 6. 32μm,-0. 09 ± 0. 07mm, 0. 18 ± 0. 25D, 0. 21 ± 0. 36D and 0. 25 ± 0. 39mm with statistical significant (P<0. 01). Pearson correlation analysis showed high correlation between the 2 devices for all measurements (P<0. 001). On Bland-Altman analysis, 95% limits of agreement for all measurements were 6. 26 to -18. 49μm; 0. 04 to 0. 22mm; 0. 68 to 0. 32D; 0. 92 to 0. 50D and 1. 00 to 0. 5mm.
CONCLUSlON: Anterior segment parameters evaluated with LS900 and Sirius systemare correlated well and achieve good agreement. However, there are significantly statistical differences which may be caused by the different measurement modes, so they may not be interchangeable use under certain clinical circumstances.
