Aim To investigate the effects of Y-IP5 on morphine-induced behavioral sensitization and CPP in mice.Methods Locomotor activity was detected after Y-IP5 administration or co-administration of Y-IP5 with morphine in mice.Mice were treated with morphine to induce behavioral sensitization. Then the effects of Y-IP5 on the development, transfer and expression of morphine-induced behavioral sensitization were investigated. Mice were treated with morphine to induce CPP. Then the effect of Y-IP5 on the acquisition of morphine-induced CPP was studied.Results Y-IP5 itself didn′t influence locomotor activity of mice.Co-administration of Y-IP5 with morphine inhibited morphine-induced hyperactivity (P<0.05) and the development of morphine-induced behavioral sensitization in mice (P<0.05), however, did not influence the transfer and expression of morphine-induced behavioral sensitization.Co-administration of Y-IP5 with morphine also inhibited the acquisition of morphine-induced CPP (P<0.05).Conclusion Y-IP5 may inhibit the psychological dependence induced by morphine.

Objective To explore the relationships between resistin rs1477341 , rs3219175 and type2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Guangdong. Methods 180 patients of diagnosed T2DM in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2013 to December 2014 were enrolled in the study as the treatment group and another 180 subjects taking health examination as the control group. The genotype distributions of rs1477341 locus A/T, rs3219175 locus A/G were compared and the relationship between the genotypes and T2DM were anlysed by the logistic regression. Results The frequencies of the rs1477341, rs3219175 locus genotype reached the genetic equilibrium, showed their representativeness of a population group. The frequency distribution of rs1477341 genotype was statistically insignificant across the two groups (P > 0.05). The frequency of rs3219175 genotype AA+AG was decreased while genotype GG increased significantly compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The logistic regression results suggest genotype GG may increase disease risk of T2DM which the morbidity rate of AG homozygote was 0.630 times as high as that of GG homozygote (OR =0.630, 95%CI:0.405 ~ 0.980, P < 0.05) and the morbidity rate of GG homozygote was 1.551 times as higher as that of AA+AG homozygote (OR = 1.551, 95%CI:1.016 ~ 2.368, P < 0.05). Conclusions rs1477341 genotype has no correlation with T2DM among the population in Guangdong , but rs3219175 genotype does. GG may have a higher susceptibility to T2DM.

Objective To explore the relationship between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes of state of evil domination and clinical and laboratory indicators of IgA nephropathy. Methods A prospective study was used to collect data on clinical and laboratory examination of IgA nephropathy in multi clinical centers. Patients’ TCM syndrome types were determined according to the national diagnostic criteria at the same time. Totally 266 patients with IgA nephropathy were included in the study to establish a database for analyzing the relationship between TCM syndrome of state of evil domination and clinical and laboratory indicators. Results In the relationship between syndromes of state of evil domination distribution and clinical subtypes, patients of wind-heat syndrome had more macroscopic hematuria;patients of phlegm-damp syndrome had more nephrotic syndrome;patients of damp-heat syndrome had more chronic nephritis type Ⅰ;patients of blood stasis syndrome had more chronic nephritis type Ⅱ. In the relationship between syndrome of state of evil domination distribution and clinical manifestation, the incidence of hypertension was higher in patients of blood stasis syndrome than in other three types. It was more serious for hematuresis in the patients of wind-heat syndrome. For patients of phlegm-damp syndrome, the incidence of heave proteinuria was highest. In the relationship between syndrome of state of evil domination distribution and laboratory examination, 24-hour urinary protein quantification was higher than in patients of wind-heat and damp-heat syndrome, but the level of blood albumin was lowest. For patients of blood stasis syndrome, serum creatinine level was significantly higher than in other three types;the level of eGFR was just the opposite. The levels of blood cholesterol and triglyceride in patients of phlegm-damp syndrome were higher than in other three types. The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) levels in patients of blood stasis and phlegm-damp syndrome were lower than in other patients, but the FIB level was the exact opposite of APTT. In the relationship between syndrome of state of evil domination distribution and the stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD), patients of wind-heat syndrome were more in the first stage of CKD;patients of blood stasis syndrome were more in the third stage of CKD. Conclusion There is relative correlation between TCM syndromes of state of evil domination and clinical and laboratory indicators in IgA nephropathy, which would provide some reference to narrow the gap in the information of the four methods of TCM with clinical and laboratory indicators to enhance accurate diagnosis of TCM syndrome.
