Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of modified Bingtitang in treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) and its effect on pancreas islet function. Method:A total of 108 patients with T2DM were divided into two groups according to the digital number table method, with 54 cases in each group. The control group were given routine therapy of diabetic diet, proper exercise and blood sugar control, while the treatment group were orally given traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modified Bingtitang in addition to the therapy of the control group. The blood sugar, pancreas islet function-related indexes, TCM syndrome score, serum retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) and Betatrohin levels were compared between two groups before and after treatment. The total effective rate was also compared. Result:After treatment, the fasting blood glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), blood glucose variation coefficient (CV-FPG), insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) of the treatment group were lower than those of control group (P<0.01), while the ratio of insulin secretion index (HOMA-IS), 30-minute insulin increment (I30) and blood glucose proliferation (G30) to(ΔI30/ΔG30)of treatment group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.01). The TCM score and the serum RBP4 level were lower than those of control group (P<0.01), while Betatrohin level was higher than that of the control group (P<0.01), and the total effective rate was higher than that of control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:In addition to the routine treatment, modified Bingtitang can effectively control blood sugar, improve pancreas islet function, and alleviate TCM syndromes, with a significant effect on T2DM. Its mechanism may be related to the regulation of serum RBP4 and Betatrohin levels.

Objective To study the integrated monitoring program regarding mouse and plague, hemorrhagic fever of renal syndrome(HFRS)and leptospirosis. Methods Integrated monitoring plan was used. A designated office coordinated 5 departments' actions within the Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC). Cage-trapping method was conducted to monitor the density of mice from June to October, respectively. Results Lishui municipal CDC had finished the integrated monitoring program on mouse and mouse-borne disease while the Longyou CDC had finished the field investigation, using the integrated monitoring program.Specimens were sent to provincial CDC. The integrated monitoring program needed more number of personnel and better coordination. Lishui reported 3 leptospirosis cases and 58 HFRS cases in 2009,with the incidence rates as 0.13 and 2.44 per 100 000, respectively. Longyou reported 2 leptospirosis case and 1 HFRS cases in 2009, with the incidence rates as 0.49 and 0.25 per 100 000, respectively.Lishui and Longyou had no plague case. Lishui caught 91 mice in 2009 and the density was 4.17%.Longyou caught 37 mice in 2009, with the density as 1.18 percent. Most mice caught from Lishui were Apodemus agrarius and the next was Mus musculus. In Longyou the Rattus tanezumi ranked the first, followed by Apodemus agrarius. The positive rate of HFRS antigen in Lishui and Longyou were 10.42% and 4.59% respectively. The positive rate of HFRS antibody in Longyou was 3.70%. The culture positive rate of leptospirosis in mouse renal of Lishui and Longyou were 0 and 0.98%respectively. The culture positive rate of leptospirosis in pig renal, duck renal, frog renal and cattle urine of Longyou was 0. The culture positive rate of leptospirosis in duck blood of Longyou was 80%.Conclusion The integrated monitoring program on mouse and mouse-borne disease seemed to be feasible and could promote the integrated surveillance and control program on mouse and mouse-borne diseases in China.
