Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of insulin aspart 30 combined with metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Methods:According to the random number table, 68 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into two groups, the control group (n=34) and the observation group (n=34). The control group was treated with insulin aspart 30 by hypodermic injection, while the observation group was orally treated with metformin additionally. Results:After the treatment, the levels of FPG, HbA1c and 2hPG, plasma viscosity, blood viscosity and platelet adhesion rate in the two groups were lower than those before the treatment, and those in the observation groups were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). After the treatment, the levels of TC, TG and LDL-C in the two groups were lower than those before the treatment (P<0. 05), and the levels of TC and TG in the observation groups were lower than those in the control group (P<0. 05). Before and after the treatment, HDL-C and BMI showed no significant differences in the two groups (P>0. 05). The reaching standard time of blood glucose of the observation group was shorter than that of the control group (P <0.05). Compared with the untoward reactions between the two groups, no statistical difference was shown (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Insulin aspart 30 combined with metformin can control blood sugar more effectively, and significantly improve the glucose metabolism of patients, shorten the reaching standard time of blood glucose and improve blood lipid and hemorheology indices, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective To evaluate the influence of Fuzheng Huayu decoction on different pathological stages fibrotic liver tissue and activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Methods Use a carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver cirrhosis rat model system. The drug intervention was administered via oral-gastric irrigation in building, the end of week 2 and 4. Rats were batch sacrificed at the end of week 2 , 4, and 6. Liver fibrosis was evaluated by histology, and expression of a-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) was determined by immunohistochemistry. Between-group comparisons were made by completely random design and ANOVA with Bonferroni correction. Results At the end of weeks 2, 4 and 6, the model group and drug intervention groups had significantly higher area ratio of liver fibrosis and higher expression of α-SMA than the normal group, but the three drug intervention groups had significantly less area ratio of liver fibrosis and less expression of α-SMA than the model group and the drug intervention 1 group showed the most robust decrease (P<0.05). Conclusion The Fuzheng Huayu decoction leads to down-regulated α-SMA expression and reduced degree of liver fibrosis on different pathological stages of fibrotic liver tissue, and the earlier drug intervention, the better the results.

OBJECTIVETo assess the efficacy of prophylactic treatment with recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) on chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia in tumor patients.

METHODSIn this randomized cross-over self-controlled clinical trial, 24 patients with malignant neoplasms were randomized group A (12 cases) and group B (12 cases). All the patients underwent two identical cycles of chemotherapy. In group A, RhTPO (1.0 µg/kg) was administered subcutaneously on a daily basis 3 days before the second chemotherapy cycle for 7 consecutive days, and in group B, RhTPO was administered daily 6-24 h after the second chemotherapy cycle for 7 days. In both groups, RhTPO was not administered in the first chemotherapy cycle, which served as the control cycle.

RESULTSIn both the groups, platelet count was significantly higher in the second cycle than in the control cycle, and the duration of thrombocytopenia was significantly shortened in the second cycle. Compared with group B, the patients in group A showed a significantly higher platelet count in the second cycle and a significantly shorter duration of thrombocytopenia in the second cycle.

CONCLUSIONProphylactic administration of rhTPO can significantly reduce the severity and duration of thrombocytopenia and promote platelet recovery in patients undergoing chemotherapy for malignant tumors.

Xuanwei district in Yunnan Province of China has pretty high incidence of lung cancer in China, even a- round the world. Studies have shown that there exists a close relationship between lung cancer and local indoor air pollution caused by Bituminous coal. Considering that the indoor air pollution in Xuanwei District is caused by "open fireplace", an indoor air pollution simulation system was designed, and an F344 rats lung damage model was estab- lished for this indoor air pollution fireplace. The model is based on indoor air pollution simulation system with signal multiplexer control and multi-channel acquisition, and mining PID algorithm was used for polynomial fitting to each test point, and a relatively constant PM2. 5 air pollution status was simulated. The results showed that the system could simulate a variety of states of air pollution, provide a new test method for evaluation of human injury caused by indoor air pollution and a new idea for the study of the incidence of lung cancer in Xuanwei district and other places.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the metabolic profile of hydrocortisone-induced 'Kidney-yang deficiency syndrome'in rats and the intervention effects of Morinda officinalis.

METHODProton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) technique was used to analyze the rat metabonome in serum. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were processed to analyze the metabonome difference between the control and hydrocortisone treated samples. Twelve potential biomarkers were selected, via the parameter of variable importance in the projection (VIP). Principal components analysis (PCA) was employed to process the data from the M. officinalis. treatment group and the intervention effects of M. officinalis, was investigated through the selected potential biomarkers.

RESULTAfter hydrocortisone treatment, the energy metabolism, amino acids metabolism and gut microflora environment were seriously disturbed and transmethylation was surpressed. M. officinalis could effectively alleviate the disturbance of energy and amino acids metabolism and enhance transmethylation, but could not modulate the gut microflora environment.

CONCLUSIONThe results obtained suggested that metabonomic studies could better reflect the whole status of metabolism in bio-systems, and could be treated as a potential powerful approach in pharmacological studies and investigation of the essence of 'syndrome' in traditional Chinese medicine.
