Objective To investigate the effect of angiotenisn ⅡI (Ang Ⅱ) on RIN-m β-cell,and to explore the mechanism of β-cell function impairment caused by Ang Ⅱ.Methods RIN-m cells were cultured with various concentrations of AngⅡ (0.1,1,10,100 nmol/L).After incubation for 24 hours,the basal(3.3 mmol/L) and glucose-stimulated(16.7 mmol/L) insulin secretion(GSIS)were detected by radioimmunoassay,mRNA and protein expressions of uncoupling protein 2(UCP2)were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot,respectively.The intracellular ATP content was measured by luciferase bioluminescence.The mitochondrial membrane potential and cellular Ca~(2+) concentration were detected by flow cytometry.Results (1) Various concentrations of Ang Ⅱ had no significant influence on the basal insulin secrection of RIN-m cell(F=0.644,P = 0.634).Except for 0.1 nmol/L AngⅡ,the other concentrations of Ang Ⅱ markedly reduced GSIS of RIN-m cells(F= 118.528,P = 0.000).(2) Compared with the control group,Ang Ⅱ significantly increased mRNA and protein expression of UCP2(F= 1 370,P = 0.000;F=675.175,P = 0.000).(3)Except for 0.1 nmol/L Ang Ⅱ,the other concentrations of Ang Ⅱ significantly decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential,cellular ATP content,and cellular Ca2+ concentration of RIN-m cell(F=4.035,P=0.008;F=3.353,P = 0.013;F=5.867,P = 0.001).Conclusion Ang Ⅱ impairs GSIS of p-cell,the mechanism of impairment may be interpreted that Ang Ⅱ can increase the expression of UCP2,furthermore,it can reduce mitochondrial membrane potential,decrease the content of cellular ATP and the concentration of cellular Ca~(2+),can finally impair the function of β-cell.

Objective To investigate the distribution pattern of the ADAS-Cog scores among the elderly in Beijing and to evaluate the application of ADAS-Cog in distinguishing patients with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) and healthy elderly. Methods In total, 1616 healthy elderly (NC), 125 elderly patients with non-AD disorders (ND), and 310 patients with probable AD including 201 patients with mild AD and 109 patients with moderate AD (by NINCDS-ADRDA criteria) were recruited in the study and their cognitive performance was measured by the ADAS-Cog.Results In NC group, those older than 80 years and those with less than 5 years schooling scored highest. There was statistically significant correlation between the total scores of the ADAS-Cog and age and duration of schooling in NC group (F=14.34, 113.27,both P<0.01). No correlation was suggested in the mild AD group. The total score of ADAS-Cog was significantly associated with duration of schooling in both moderate AD and ND groups (F=4.18, 8.72, both P<0.05). The total score of ADAS-Cog differentiated the patients with mild AD from NC healthy elderly with AUC ranging from 0.69 to 0.82 in each subgroup by age, and from 0.75 to 0.88 in subgroups by durations of schooling with the highest AUC of 0.88 in the subgroup having more than 15 years of schooling education. Conclusions The ADAS-Cog score in the healthy elderly is significantly associated with age and duration of schooling education. The ADAS-Cog can be applied in the cognitive assessment of Chinese AD patients. The total score of ADAS-Cog could efficiently differentiate patients with mild AD from healthy elderly, especially in subjects with higher education level.

Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2010;30(10):1030-1035
OBJECTIVETo observe and analyze the changes in brain amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) in resting-state induced by ST36 (Zusanli) point acupuncturing (Ac), and to discuss its central modulating mechanism.
METHODSFifteen healthy young volunteers received ST36 Ac and non-acupoints Ac respectively, the resting-state fMRI data were acquired before and 20 min after the withdrawal of AC. ALFF of encephalic regions were calculated using REST software, and one-sample t-test analysis was performed on the intragroup data acquired after Ac by statistical parametric mapping 5 (SPM5), to get the maps of ALFF changes induced by ST36 Ac and non-acupoints Ac respectively for analyzing the difference between them finally.
RESULTSST36 Ac increased ALFF in widespread brain areas, including cerebral cortex (frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital lobe), brainstem, cerebellum, etc., with the amplitude and extent higher than those increased by non-acupoint Ac, showing statistical significance in ALEF of right cerebellar posterior lobe, fusiform gyrus, central posterior gyrus, central anterior gyrus, supramarginal gyrus, inferior parietal lobule, middle frontal gyrus (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, ALFF in brain areas of left temporal pole, superior temporal gyrus, mid-temporal gyrus, uncus, bilateral forepart of callosal gyrus, right amygdala, right inferior gyri orbitales were decreased by Ac, also showing significant difference between ST36 Ac and non-acupoint Ac (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONST36 Ac could induce ALFF changes in multiple functional regions of brain,and its mechanism is probably produced by modulating the respective functional center and complex network in brain to influence the target organs.
