Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus Jisheng Shenqi pills in treating patients with diabetic neurogenic bladder. Method Patients with diabetic neurogenic bladder were allocated, using a random number table, to treatment and control groups. The treatment group received acupuncture plus Jisheng Shenqi pills and the control group, oral administration of Western medicine. Both groups of patients were treated for four weeks as a course. Post-treatment clinical total efficacy rates, pre-treatment and post-treatment postvoid residual urine volumes, and adverse reactions during treatment were compared between the two groups. Result The total efficacy rate was higher in the treatment group (93.8%) than in the control group (68.8%) (P<0.05). The postvoid residual urine volume decreased significantly in both groups of patients after treatment compared with before (P<0.05). Post-treatment postvoid residual urine volume was lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). The adverse reaction rate was lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture plus Jisheng Shenqi pills is remarkably effective in treating patients with diabetic neurogenic bladder. It can effectively decrease postvoid residual urine volume in the patients, has higher safety and is worthy of clinical popularization.

The secondary hyperparathyroidism is one of the complications of chronic renal failure (CRF) and end stage renal failure (ESRD), and becomes more serious with the development of the primary disease. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is considered as one of the biomarks of the development of renal failure. The purpose of this article will expound the physiological effects of the PTH, the causes and clinical significances of PTH rising in CRF and ESRD patients, the determination of PTH level, and the relationships between the increase of PTH and the polymorphism of CYP2D6, GSTT1,GSTM1.

Objective:To observe the effect of Tangshenning on renal function and LOX-1 mRNA expression in the kidney of early diabetic nephropathy rats model. Methods:Early diabetic nephropathy rats model was made with high fat diet, STZ and unilateral ne-phregtomy. After the 12-week drug intervention, the rats were sacrificed, the kidneys were removed and the mRNA expressions of LOX-1 in the kidney were observed by the method of RT-PCR. Results:Early diabetic nephropathy rats model was successfully made by the triple-modeling method. The mRNA expression of LOX-1 in the kidney was significantly increased, and Tangshenning could low-er the expression of LOX-1 in the kidney in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion:The abnormal expression of LOX-1 could be one of the mechanisms for diabetic nephropathy. Tangshening has good kidney protective effect through decreasing LOX-1 abnormal expression in the kidneys, which deserves further research.

Objective To observe the effect of Tanggankang on the expression of CREB in diabetic-fatty liver rats;To investigate the mechanism of Tanggankang. Methods STZ and feeding high fat forage induced diabetic rats were randomly divided into model group, Huganning group, Tanggankang high dose group, Tanggankang medium dose group, Tanggankang low dose group, 10 rats in each group, with 10 normal rats as control. After 12 weeks of drug intervention, rats were killed, the livers were removed, and the expression of CREB was detected by Western blot. Results Compared with normal group, the level of CREB of model group was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with model group, Tanggankang low, medium and high dose group significantly decreased the level of CREB (P<0.01). Conclusion Tanggankang may play an active role in glucose and lipid metabolism by affecting the expression of CREB.

In this paper, the needs of community care for diabetic patients were studied, and the existing problems were summarized and analyzed. "Four drawbacks" on community care were pointed out, namely, lack of knowledge, insufficient service resources, deficiency of professional nursing staff, and inadequate management. There were also "four lacks" on diabetic patients, namely, lack of confidence, lack of attention, lack of knowledge and lack of compliance. Seven measures of community health care for diabetic patients were pointed out in this paper, which were to enhance the quality of personnel, to strengthen health education, to emphasize on psychological counseling, to enhance behavioral modification, to carry out medical consulting, and to implement the specific medical care and comprehensive intervention.

Cancer of digestive system is one of the most common worldwidely cancers and seriously threats to human health. However its etiology and pathogenesis are still not clear. Toll-like receptor (TLR), a newly discovered transmembrane receptor, plays an important role in innate immunity. Recent researches suggested that TLRs had extensive relationship with inflammation, autoimmune diseases and cancer. A large number of researches indicated that TLRs not only participated in the occurrence, development and immune escape of cancer, but also acted in immunotherapy in digestive system. Further investigation of TLRs may re-veal the effects of TLRs in the development of malignant tumors of digestive system, moreover may find new therputic target for the treatment of cancers. We reviewed the relationship between TLRs and cancers of di-gestive system.
