Objective To explore the role of Tanggankang Capsule in decreasing blood sugar, regulating blood lipid and protecting liver for the patient of type 2 diabetes with hepatic injury. Methods 60 cases of type 2 diabetes with hepatic injury, and with TCM syndrome of stagnation of liver-qi and deficiency of spleen, dampness-heat and blood stasis were enrolled in the study. Patients were randomly divided into treatment group (Tanggankang Capsule group, n=30) and control group (Metfofmin and Glucurolactone group, n=30), and were administrated for 8 weeks. Results The total effective rate for the improvement of TCM syndromes was 89.9% in the treatment group and 62.4% in the control group, with significant difference between the two groups (P

Objective In this study, we tested the ability of platelet-rich plasma to enhance bone consolidation during distraction osteogenesis in a rabbit model of leg lengthening. Methods Twenty New Zealand white rabbits, which were randomly divided into two groups, the PRP treated group and the control group (n=10). Osteotomy will be made under the tibiofibular junction of left tibia, and 1cm tibia shaft will be removed through a second osteotomy. The tibia will be shorted for 1cm and then fixed by Orthfix unilateral lengthener with 4 pins. Lengthening will start 7 days after the osteotomy surgery, at a rate of 1.0 mm/day, in two steps, for 10 days. 500ul PRP were respectively injected into the distraction gaps at the end of the 10-day lengthening and at 10 days before termination. No management in the control group. The animals were terminated at day 20 following final lengthening. Serial radiographs will be taken at the day of surgery, day 12, day 17, day 27, day 37, using a C-arm radiography system. The excised bone specimens were scanned by X-ray and Micro-CT, and the bone mineral content(BMC) and the bone mineral density(BMD) of the regenerates were calculated and compared. Results The regenerate of PRP treated group was significantly better than the control group. The X-ray figures showed that the regenerate was significantly more than the control group. The figures of micro-CT 3D reconstruction showed that the growth and remodel of the regenerate in PRP treated group was better than the control group. Micro-CT examination of regenerates demonstrated a significantly greater bone mineral content(BMC) and the bone mineral density(BMD) in the PRP treated group compared to the control group(P

Conclusion:MMSE can be used in clinical assessment of cognitive function of patients with AD.

Objective To explore the dynamic expression of a new phospholipid phosphatase, plasticity related gene 1 ( PRG-1 ) in cerebral cortex following recurrent neonatal seizures.Methods A seizure was induced by inhalant flurothyl daily in neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats from postnatal day 6 (P6).Rats were assigned into the recurrent-seizure group (seizures induced in six consecutive days) and the control group.At 3 h,12 h,48 h,14d after the last convulsion,PRG-1 protein level in cerebral cortex was detected by western blot method.Results At 3 h, 12 h,48 h, 14d after the last convulsion in control group, the expression of PRG-1 in cerebral cortex respectively was 1.363 ± 0.742,1.278 ± 0.687 ,0.763 ± 0.374,1.004 ± 0.113, in experimental group , the expression of PRG-1 in cerebral cortex respectively was 1.818 ± 1.093,1.562 ± 0.782,1.024 ± 0.510,1.378 ± 0.279.At 3 h, 12 h,48 h, the expression of PRG-1 in cerebral cortex was not significantly different between the experimental and control group( t = 0.843,0.668,1.011 ,all P ＞ 0.05 ).However, at 14 d, the level of PRG-1 protein in cerebral cortex of experimental group was significantly higher than that of control ( t = 3.041, P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion The up-regulated expression of PRG-1 in cerebral cortex may be associated with the recurrent neonatal seizure-induced brain damage.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and operative treatment of spinal tumor. Methods Clinical symptom, diagnosis and operative treatment of 22 patients with spinal tumor in our institution from August 1987 to August 2002 were analysed retrospectively. Results Combining with patients' clinical symptoms and results of corresponding examination, all cases were diagnosed before operation. After operation, all the patients recovered with different outcome except 3 patients died. There were 18 cases nearly cured. Conclusion The clinical symptoms of the patients with spinal tumor have some specialty. The preoperative diagnosis mainly depends on MRI. The various operative modes should be taken according to tumor localization.

Objective To investigate the involvement of apoptosis in the lesions of patients with psoriasis. Methods The apoptosis was detected with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL), and the expression of p53, PCNA and apoptosis suppressing protein bcl 2 was assessed with immunoperoxidase technique in psoriatic lesions and normal skin. Results A large number of keratinocytes showing biochemical and morphologic features of cells undergoing apoptosis were observed in all the suprabasal layers of the psoriatic epidermis. The plaques from all patients analysed showed marked increase in the number of PCNA positive cells in the middle and basal keratinocytes, and a dramatic reduction in the number of bcl 2 positive cells in the basal cell layer. Conclusion The increased apoptosis of keratinocytes in the lesions of psoriasis might be a homeostatic mechanism to the hyperplasia of cells.

Objective To explore the expression of galectin-3 in human gastric carcinoma tissues and to investigate its clinincal significances.Methods Immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the expression of galectin-3 in 52 pairs of specimens of gastric carcinoma tissues,33 atypical hypcrplasia of gastric tissues and 20 gastritis tissues.Expression levels of galectin-3 in different tissues were compared and analyzed.The relationship between expression levels and clinical parameters was investigated.Results The positive rates of galectin-3 were 94.2 ％ (49/52),80.0 ％ (16/20) and 33.3 ％ (11/30).The positive rates of galectin-3 were higher in gastric carcinoma than those in atypical hyperplasia and gastritis (Z =2.181,6.160,3.611,all P ＜ 0.05).The expression levels of galectin-3 in lymph node metastasis gastric carcinoma,poorly differentiated gastric carcinoma were 100 ％ (22/22),100 ％ (45/45) respectively.Galectin-3 expression in patients without lymph node metastasis,high differentiation in gastric carcinoma were 78.6 ％ (27/30),57.1％ (4/7)respectively.The expression levels of galectin-3 were correlated with metastasis and differentiation,with higher expressions in the cases with metastatic lymph nodes (Z =12.463,P ＜ 0.05) and in poor differentiation tissues (Z =3.245,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Galectin-3 is overexpressed in gastric carcinoma tissues,indicating that both of them may play roles in the pathogenesis of gastric carcinoma.The overexpression of galectin-3 is correlated with metastatic lymph nodes and poor differentiation,indicating that galectin-3 may be prognostic indicator of gastric carcinoma.
