The fasting blood sugar (FBS), blood insulin (INS), insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and resistant hormone of INS in 46 patients with NIDDM were observed before and after the treatment. It was showed that the good effect was achieved in the cases by acupuncture and moxibustion, while the contents of FBS and INS in plasma were all decreased and ISI was increased in the cases treated by acupuncture and moxibustion, the degree of decrease of FBS and INS, and increase of ISI being closely related to therapeutic effect. The level of resistant hormone of INS and lipid in patients tend to normal level. Acupuncture and moxibustion had a good regulatory effect on the function of endocrine,sugar and lipid metabolism. It suggests that IR can be corrected by acupuncture and moxibustion,which is a key to therapeutic effect.

Objective To study the effect of S1P on HLF cell fibrosis and its mechanism. Methods (1) The expression of ECM in HLF cells was analyzed by using Western Blot after treatment by S1P(1 μmol/L), FTY720-P(5μmol/L),ponesimod(5μmol/L)and SEW2871(5μmol/L)24 h;(2)The HLF cells were pre-treated using selective S1PR antagonist W146(1 μmol/L),JTE-013(0.2 μmol/L),and TY-52156(1.25 μmol/L)1 h before incubation by S1P and S1PR agonists 24 h and then the expression of ECM was analyzed;(3)The HLF cells were pre-incubated using JTE-013(0.2μmol/L)and TY-52156(1.25μmol/L)for 1 h and then the expression of ECM was analyzedafter being treated by S1P and S1PR agonists 24 h. Results (1)S1P and selective S1P receptor agonist increased the expression of ECM to various extents;(2)The S1P1R antagonist W146 did not affectthe expression of ECM induced by S1P and S1PR agonists and S1P2R antagonist JTE-013 and S1P3R antagonist TY-52156 both decreased the expression of ECM induced by S1P and S1PR agonists;(3)The expression of ECM induced by S1P and S1PR agonists further decreased using both JTE-013 and TY-52156 but not using ponesimod. Conclusion S1P2R and S1P3R are activated under the influence of S1P so as to increase the synthesis of ECM and promote fibrosis gene expression in HLF cells.

Aim To study the effects of telmisartan upon serum calcineurin.Methods 92 male SD rats with the same age were randomly divided into control group (N), sham operation group (S), 2K1C+distilled water group (K) and 2K1C+telmisartan group (T).S rats were performed the open-abdomen surgery without being restricted any renal artery, but the K and the T rats were restricted their left renal artery. Beginning from the third week after the surgery, the K rats started to be treated with the intragastric infusion of distilled water 10 ml·(kg·d)~(-1) , while the T rats with telmisartan 10 mg·(kg·d)~(-1) .And after being treated for 2, 4 and 8 weeks, rats were respectively measured the systolic blood pressure (SBP), the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of the abdominal aorta. Before and after the operation, ultrasonography with probe of 7.5 MHz was used to obtain the structure and functional indexes, such as IVSd, IVSs, LVPWd, and serum calcineurin were evaluated by ELISA and colorimetric assay kit.Result Compared with the S group and the N group, ① the results of blood pressure (SBP, DBP) were significantly higher in K group (all P <0.01), after use of telmisartan, blood pressure was significantly reduced(P <0.01);② the thickness of interventricular septal and left ventricular posterior wall at the end of diastolic and systolic were significantly higher in K group (all P <0.01), after use of telmisartan, the thickness of those declined(all P <0.01);③ the level and activity of serum calcineurin were significantly higher in K group (all P <0.01), after use of telmisartan, the level and activity of calcineurin significantly fell(P <0.01).Conclusion The serum calcineurin of artery was also raised in the left ventricular remodeling. Telmisartan ameliorates ventricular remodeling effectively, which may be associated with decreasing the expression of artery serum calcineurin.
