OBJECTIVETo investigate the protective effect of Shenfu Injection against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury due to pancreas transplantation in rats, and explore its possible mechanism.
METHODSSix normal SD rats with sham operation were taken as the normal control group, 24 steptozozin-induced diabetic SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, with 6 in each group. Except I/R group, the rats in the other groups were intravenous injected with Shenfu Injection (SF,10 mg/kg), Hongshen Injection (HS, 9 mg/kg) and Fuzi Injection (FZ 1 mg/kg) respectively at the day and 30 minutes before pancreas transplantation performed in the SF group, HS group and FZ group, respectively. At the same time, rats in the normal control group and in the I/R group were intravenously injected the same volume of normal saline. The blood glucose was detected before and after reperfusion, and 2 hours later after reperfusion, the contents of serum nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), the concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) , superoxide dismutase (SOD) , and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the transplanted pancreas tissues were detected. The cell apoptosis of the transplanted pancreas tissue was determined by TUNEL, and the bcl-2 and Bax protein expression was determined by Western blot.
RESULTSAfter reperfusion, the levels of blood glucose and TNF-alpha decreased and the concentration of NO increased in the SF group, HS group and FZ group, compared with those in the I/R group. The activity of SOD, bcl-2 expression and the ratio of bcl-2 and Bax were higher, while the content of MDA, the activity of MPO, apoptotic indexes, and Bax expression were lower in the SF group, HS group and FZ group than those in the I/R group.
CONCLUSIONShenfu Injection can protect L/R injury due to pancreas transplantation in rats, the possible mechanism may be related to promoting activity of SOD, increasing synthesis of endogenous NO, decreasing the excretion of TNF-alpha, alleviating conglutination and aggregation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in pancreas, as well as up-regulating Bcl-2 gene expression and down-regulating the Bax gene expression.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship among serum leptin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), body mass index (BMI) and dyslipidema in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
METHODSEighty-two patients with NAFLD were divided into mild, moderate and severe NAFLD groups according histological examination results of the liver. Twenty healthy volunteers were chosen as the normal control (NC) group. Fasting insulin, glucose, leptin and lipid levels were measured in the 82 patients with NAFLD and the BMI calculated. IR index of the patients was calculated according to the HOMA method.
RESULTSLeptin, HOMA-IR index, BMI and dyslipidemia showed significant differences between NAFLD and NC groups (P<0.05 or 0.01). Leptin and HOMA-IR index increased with the exacerbation of NAFLD, both of which were positively correlated with the severity of NAFLD.
CONCLUSIONIncreased leptin level, HOMA-IR, BMI and dyslipidemia can be important risk factors of NAFLD, and serum leptin level and HOMA-IR are positively correlated with the severity of NAFLD.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of three different spinal rotation manipulations for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.
METHODSFrom September 2011 to April 2013,180 patients diagnosed as lumbar disc herniation were randomly divided into seat fixed rotation group (A), lateral position rotation group (B) and supine position rotation group (C) by using a digital table. Finally 10 patients were excluded and dropped, 170 patients were included in the study. There were 57 patients in group A, 57 patients in group B and 56 patients in group C. Baseline demographic characteristics of patients, clinical findings and indexes of health status had no statistically differences among three groups (P > 0.05). The manipulation was performed every other day, and the treatment duration for all patients was 3 weeks. Body pain (BP), Physical function (PF) in SF-36, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and adverse reactions were observed statistically 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, one year and two years after finishing treatment.
RESULTSBP, PF scores in 3 groups were significantly improved and ODI scores were significantly lower than those before treatment and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); However, there was no significant difference among three groups in the BP, PF and ODI scores (P > 0.05). There were no obvious and serious adverse reactions among these groups.
CONCLUSIONBased on the theory of dislocation of bone joints in TCM, three kinds of spinal rotation manipulations can be used safely for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation, and the efficacy was similar.
