Objective To investigate the alteration of serum ghrelin and leptin in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) and their clinical significance. Methods Sixty patients with FD [-30 patients with postprandial distress syndrome(PDS) and 30 patinets with epigastric pain syndrome(EPS)] were enrolled. Thirty healthy subjects were severed as controls. The serum ghrelin and leptin were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and radioimmunosorbent assay, respectively. Results The concentrations of serum ghrelin and leptin were both significantly lower in patients with FD than in controls (P<0.01). Meanwhile, the concentrations of serum ghrelin and leptin in PDS patients were significantly lower compared with controls (P<0.01) and EPS patients (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in levels of serum ghrelin and leptin between controls and EPS patients(P>0.05). Conclusions The alterations of serum ghrelin and leptin in PDS patients are responsible for their reduction in FD patients. The PDS may he associated with abnormalities in gastrointestinal motility. There is an interaction between serum ghrelin and leptin in development of FD. The detection of serum ghrelin or leptin is helpful in classification and treatment of FD.

Objective To investigate the effects of valsartan on insulin resistance of type 2 diabetes in patients with Ⅰ hypertension.Methods Newly diagnosed 152 patients of type 2 diabetes with Ⅰ hypertension were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.The treatment group and control group undergone lifestyle changes( diet and adequate exercise) for two weeks.After that,the control group were given Diltiazem,while the treatment group were given valsartan,an angiotensin receptor blocker(ARB) drugs.Both groups were treated for 8 weeks.Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and fasting plasma insulin (FINS) before and after treatment in both groups were determined.Homeostasis model assessment evaluation of insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR) and insulin sensitivity index (IAI) were carried out and compared between the two groups.Results After 8 weeks of treatment,HOMA-IR in the treatment group was significantly decreased compared with the control group ( P ＜ 0.01 ),while IAI was significantly increased( P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion Application of valsartan in type 2 diabetes mellitus with Ⅰ hypertension can significantly improve the level of insulin resistance.

There are many problems about multiple breast cancer (MBC),such as whether it results from intramammary spread of a single tumor, or from two or more separate neoplastic events? Whether MBC has inferior outcome compared with unicentric lesions? Whether MBC is suit for conservative surgery and the sentinel lymph node biopsy, and so on. Thus: We reviewed the prospect for diagnosis and therapy of MBC.

Objective: To investigate the effects of arginine enriched TPN on proliferation and apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells. Methods:24 young rabbits were divided into 3 groups: control group,standard TPN group and arginine-enriched TPN group.Rabbits in the control group received free chow and water ad libitum after ligation of the right jugular vein;animals in the other two groups received standard TPN(175kcal/kg?d,200 ml/kg?d) or arginine enriched(2% of total energy) TPN.After 7 days of TPN administration,plasma and ileum were collected for the following tests: ①intestinal morphological changes;②incidence of bacterial translocation;③D-lactic acid level in plasma;④expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) of epithelial cells;⑤apoptosis of epithelial cells. Results:①The mucosal thickness,villus height and villus surface area in argnine enriched TPN group were significantly higher than those in standard TPN group(P0.05).②The incidence of bacterial translocation in arginine enriched TPN group was significantly lower than that in standard TPN group(P0.05).③The plasma D-lactic acid level in arginine enriched TPN group was significantly lower than that in standard TPN group(P0.05). Conclusion:Arginine plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of gut barrier,reducing the apoptosis of epithelial cells and improving the intestinal cells proliferation.
