This paper summarized Professor PENG Peichu's experience in the differentiation and treatment of prostate cancer in three phases and four stages. It is considered that prostatic cancer is categorized into root deficiency and branch excess, with depletion of healthy qi as the root, and the accumulation of cancer toxin as the minifestation. Clinical diagnosis and treatment of prostatic cancer can be divided into three phases and four stages according to the exuberance and decline of pathogenic and healthy qi and the changes of deficiency and excess of yin and yang. In the initial accumulation phase of cancer toxin (yang excess stage), the key pathogenesis is the accumulation of dampness, heat and static blood, and internal generation of cancer toxin, and the treatment should be resolving toxins, fighting cancer and dispelling yang excess. In the phase of healthy qi deficiency and toxin accumulation (yin deficiency stage), with the lung and kidney yin deficiency, dampness, heat and static toxin accumulation as the key pathogenesis, the treatment should be centered on mutual generation between metal and water to nourish kidney yin, supplemented with the method of clearing heat and draining dampness, activating blood and resolving toxins, for which self-made Nanbei Formula(南北方)is usually used. In the phase of yang deficiency and cold stagnation (yang deficiency stage and yin excess stage), with the spleen and kidney yang deficiency, cold dampness stagnation, static heat and toxin accumulation as the key pathogenesis, the treatment should be warming and tonifying spleen and kidney to dissipate cold accumulation; for deficiency of both yin and yang, and excess pathogen obstruction, modified Yanghe Decoction(阳和汤) is recommended, while for yang deficiency, cold congealing and blood stasis, self-made Wenshen Sanjie Formula(温肾散结方) can be used, and for cold dampness binding with cancer toxin, and cold complex with heat, self-made Quanan Formula (泉安方) is advised.

Objective:To investigate the association of 24 h urinary glucose between blood glucose fluctuation and islet function.Methods:A cross-sectional survey of 124 inpatients with type 2 diabetes was conducted,the clinical data were collected,dynamic blood glucose monitoring system(CGMS)was applied to assess blood glucose fluctuation,the pancreatic β cell secretion function was calculated,aiming to investigate the association of 24 h urinary glucose between blood glucose fluctuation and islet function.Objective:The average of the renal threshold for glucose(RTG)was 11.8 mmol/L and of which 75%were elevated(>10 mmol/L).24 h urinary glucose was 30.54 g.Correlation analysis demonstrated that 24 h urinary glucose was positively associated with fasting blood glucose(FBG),2 h postprandial blood glucose(2 h PBG),the mean blood glucose(MBG),fasting plasma(preprandial)glucose area under the curve(AUC2),postprandial glucose area under the curve(AUC1)and glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),there was a significantly negative relationship between 24 h urinary glucose and the mean amplitude of glucose excursions(MAGE)and RTG,but not associated with course of disease,gender,age of patient,body mass index(BMI),blood pressure、absolute means of daily differences(MODD),the pancreatic β cell secretion function and HbA1c.Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that 24 h urine sugar was correlated with MAGE,MBG,FBG,eGFR,RTG and AUC2(absolute value of β' was-0.668,0.437,0.148,0.116,-0.107,and 0.086,respectively;P<0.05).Conclusions:The average of the renal threshold for glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes was elevated.The 24 h urinary glucose was related to blood glucose level,blood glucose fluctuations assessed by CGMS,eGFR and RTG,among which,MAGE influenced 24 h urinary glucose most.MAGE may be the most predictive risk factor for 24 h urinary glucose.

Objective To determine whether atorvastatin will induce depressive symptoms in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods The clinical data of 404 patients with large artery atherosclerotic cerebral infarction, admitted to our hospital from June 2009 to December 2010, were clinically analyzed; these patients were divided into common treatment group (atorvastatin ([7.72±3.01])mg/d,n=151) and intensive lipid lowering group (atorvastatin [18.58±9.93] mg/d,n=201) and control group (n=52); 189 males and 163 females accepted lipid-lowering treatment.Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) was employed before treatment and 3 months after the treatment and statistical analysis was performed on their scores. Results No significant deviation in scores of HAMD before and after treatment was noted in these patients (P>0.05).No significant deviation in scores of HAMD was noted neither between intensive lipid lowering group and control group,nor between common treatment group and control group (P>0.05). No significant deviation in HAMD was observed between the treatment groups with mild/no depression symptoms and control group (P>0.05).The scores of HAMD in female patients were significantly higher than that in male patients 3 months after treatment (P<0.05),but no significant deviations in the level of cholesterol, the lowering degree of cholesterol and the dosage of atorvastatin were observed between female and male patients (P>0.05). Conclusion The lipid-lowering treatment with atorvastatin will not induce depressive symptoms in patients with cerebral infarction.The depressive symptoms of female is not related with the level of cholesterol,the lowering degree of cholesterol and the dosage ofatorvastatin.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the kinesis of cellular immunity in adults who were vaccinated with yeast recombinant hepatitis B(rHB) vaccine and the correlation between cellular and humoral immune responses induced by the vaccine.
METHODSEight adults were vaccinated with rHB vaccine according to 0, 1,2 month schedule. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) were collected at the 3, 8, 21, 34 and 65 days after the first dose. The high purity of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells obtained by sorting from PBMCs were restimulated with recombinant hepatitis B surface antigens (rHBsAg) or peptides. The spot forming cell (SFC) of IFN-gamma, IL-2 and IL-4 of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were detected by enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT).
RESULTSThe characteristics of IFN-gamma, IL-2 and IL-4 of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells appeared different after immunization with rHB vaccine. IFN-gamma of CD8+ and CD4+ T cells could be detected early with stable SFC, while the IL-2 and IL-4 of CD4+ T cells appeared late but increased after the second and third dose of vaccination. The positive rate of IL-4 of CD4+ T cells were significantly correlated with the positive rate of anti-HBs, while the SFCs of IL-4 and IL-2 of CD4+ T cells were also significantly related to the titers of anti-FIBs.
CONCLUSIONIFN-gamma could be detected early after rHB vaccination in adults, and the positive rates of IL-4 and IL-2 were correlated with that of anti-HBs.
